Thanks AnneG, I never mod games so I'm pretty useless for this part of the conversation.

Have fun, Andrea, and

Annie--LOL!! I think mine is too. I'm always talking about leaving someone and looking for someone else now, and my RL hubby just looks at me like, "Hmm....hope she's not planning that in real life!" LOL

Oh btw guys, I was looking for more mods tonight and someone has made a "better" Farkas AND Vilkas. Lord, he did a great job---the guys are GORGEOUS! I might have to go re-marry mine just so I can see that new face of his all of the time. LOL

Tracy, still having lots of fun, wishing she could jump into the computer and live there for real.....sigh

If I could mod I would make the crosshair larger and red in color. The UI makes it hard for me to target enemies and the crosshair gets lost in the whirl a lot.

Me too, Debra! I would like that!
I have some issues with the game slowing down on me suddenly, and I am unable to conrol movement as I would like. I am so used to playing WoW and find it hard to get used to how the mouse is used for this game. I don't remember Oblivion or Morrowind being so difficult. Any help is much appreciated.
Andrea

Andrea, have you looked in your settings to customize? I kept forgetting to scroll down the list of options when I first started playing. Well, actually, I didn't forget, I just didn't know.

Okay, next time I'm am SO going to install some mods and really spend some time working out which characters are marriagable.

I'm just a little leery because I'm playing on Vista and I never know whether things will install properly. I don;t know how to trouble shoot in Vista. Yet the laptop itself is so good for gaming I can't replace it.

Question - how does one download and install one of the mods? I "subscribed" to one of the mods on the official site, but it has not installed, obviously.

Hagatha---you absolutely should, mods are SO much fun! btw---I'm playing on a desktop running Windows 7, and so I'm not sure if anything might be different as far as mods go, but with mine I just download manually from the Skyrim Nexus site to my Downloads folder, then use Winzip and click on "1-click unzip"and once the files pop up, i click on the file name (the .esp file usually) and drag it into my Skyrim data folder. (steamapps/common/skyrim/data) Then when you pull up the game you can click on the Data Files tab and click on that mod to make sure it appears in the game. (For some odd reason with mine it's been doing that automatically, so unless I "uncheck" something in my Data Files list, every mod I've installed will play.)

Anyway I hope that helps and that you find some great mods to play!

Tracy, who's now eager to either have someone make a mod where you can have more dialog and an auctual "courtship" of somekind, OR to learn how to use the Creation Kit herself. (i'm a little intimidated by it so I'm hoping someone else will make one, but on the other hand, it would be so great to have the characters do and say what I make them do and say. POWER!!!!!) LOL

Hi Skyrim friends!
I downloaded the SkyUI mod and am getting an error in game that says I needed the script extension (I think). I found it and tried to download it, but keep getting the same error message in game. So I've done something wrong. Anybody have an answer?
Andrea

luv2travel, you are having my problem exactly. When fighting, I end up looking at the sky or between my legs while trying to turn and face the enemy I've had to put it in god mode while doing some fights so I don't die. I could hit them if I could get arranged fast enough.

luv2travel, when you start up Skyrim are you using the Skyrim Script Extender Launcher? You have to or else Script Extender won't run. You can't launch it the old way through Steam anymore.

Tracy, I saw those Farkas, Vilkas makeovers. They did a good job, whoever they are. They also did a vampire Marcurio makeover as well. He looked pretty good. I know there's got a few people working on overhauling the marriage system or providing us with more marriage prospects.

Thanks AnneG! Where do I find the launcher? I was trying to get in game by using Steam. I didn't know I had to do it differently.
Andrea

Hopefully yours should be the same as mine. Mine was in the Skyrim folder itself.

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim

There should be a file in there called SkyrimLauncher.

Cool AnneG. I can't wait to have more conversation options and maybe some actual dating before getting hitched to a total stranger! LOL

Have to check out the vampire Marcurio btw---that sounds fun. And btw, I was talking with both Farkas and Vilkas last night (separately of course! lol) and I'd forgotten that they have different voices. Wow. I LOVE Vilka's voice, so I might steal him from you if you don't mind.

SIGH So many men, so little time! (or at least I hope there will be so many men....there are so many promising mods so far that I think that we're either going to have alot more men to choose from, OR the ones that exist will be given really nice makeovers!LOL)

Tracy

Thanks again AnneG!
Andrea

Okay, I've got three mods installed; the one that makes the horses go faster, the ones that shows you markers for all the Barenziah stones (I know, I know, but I got stuck on the last two) and the ones that is supposed to improve merchants the more you trade with them. The horse one is great, and I'll try, next game, not to quicktravel so much. Now I have all the stones, so I'll finally get to see what happens.

I must say, the Guild quests seem never-ending, and I haven't even bought (or even found) all the houses yet. And that's with an unbelievable 247 hours clocked already. Next time I'll be more quest-focused and less exploration-fixated.
