20/4/2013 (added more mods to 2.1.1)
1.1.1 Where can i download this mod?
This isn't a mod, im just mixing some mods for the screenshots.
1.1.2 What mods did you use?
Check 2.1
1.1.3 Where did you get the mods?
Nexus
3DMgame
Loverslab
Dragon Porn
1.1.4 What are your PC specs?
2500K @ 4Ghz + GTX670 @ 1200/7000
1.1.5 Which mods do you recommend?
Start with these guides
S.T.E.P
G.E.M.S
And check 2.1
1.1.6 Which grass mod are you using?
Is just a custom grass mod im doing and is a WIP mod so there's no download link and i don't know when will be available.
Please don't ask when i will finish it.
1.1.7 Which ENB series preset do you use?
A custom one based on Opethfeldt's ENB, check 2.2
1.1.8 Where can i download your ini?
Check 2.3
1.1.9 What's the framerate with all this mods?
With the heaviest grass with AO and at DEEPEST forests i get from 5 to 30fps (more grass on screen = less fps), without it or at other locations at least 40-60fps (outdoors).
1.1.10 How many mods do you have installed?
I have more than 1000 mods but i only use about 100.
1.1.11 Which mods did you use in X screenshot?
I don't know, i can't remember all the mods i used/mixed for each screenshot.
1.1.12 When will the ENB preset be available?
I don't know, im only doing it for myself so i'm in no hurry. Please don't ask when i will finish it.
You can try Opethfeldt's ENB (v6.3) or wait for the newest version, check 2.2
1.1.13 Why the screenshots have better quality than the videos?
Because im not using the same mods/config for screenshots and videos.
1.1.14 Wow, 100 mods at once?
Why not if im using 30 mods for textures, 10 for face/body/hair/eyes/etc, 30 for clothers/armors and the rest are add-ons mods?
1.1.15 Do you like all of the screenshots you done?
No really, but i share almost all i take except test-screenshots i use for comparing mods/settings.
1.1.16 How is you computer?
Check it here: LINK
Recent images: LINK
1.1.17 I can't get the same aspect as your screenshots/videos, why?
Because you need ALL the mods i used for each screenshot/video scene and of course, the SAME ENB preset.
1.1.18 ENB Status?
I started tweaking it for 0.130, first screenshot: LINK
I'm also trying to tweak the weathers for this ENB.
1.1.19 Will you upload the game with the mods or just all the mods you have?
No! Just read 1.1.5 and make you own mix of mods.
1.1.20 How did you make the grass?
I increased the density through CK (Creation Kit, the game's editor) and im filling all the holes without grass through the editor too. I'm also using a custom texture and mesh, but i will change them for the final version.
1.1.21 You're getting low fps with that grass, do you need more VRAM?
NO! But i would like to try the grass with a 670 SLi ...
Before: LINK
After: AFTER
*The screenshots shows Skyrim without ANY mods, just Ultra without antialiasing.
1.1.22 Did you upload your modded game somewhere? I saw some Skyrim torrent downloads using your screenshots o linking this blog like here: LINK
No, that's a FAKE ! I didn't upload anything and with that kind of modded Skyrim you won't get the same as my screenshots, nonsense.
1.1.23 I have a question or advice, how can i contact you?
Just let a comment at the end of this post or send me a private message here : LINK
1.1.24 Why did you added the ads?
Because they will help me to buy another GTX670 for showcasing the grass mod for the new Youtube Channel.
Since Kotaku made this news on November i have had lots of visits (more than a million !) so i was trying some ads programs (i wanted to check how much they pay) but finally im using Google's Adsense so in a few weeks i'll remove all the others ads (pop-ups and linkbucks).
Adsense pays for visits and clicks on the ads (although they pay MUCH BETTER with the clicks) so with hundred of visits everyday maybe someday i could afford the second graphic card for Skyrim.

2.2 ENB SERIES
For some screenshots I was also using gp65cj04's bokeh DOF, a custom DOF settings i done for portraits and the new bloom by Boris Vorontsov.
Opethfeldt's preset comes with FXAA Injector but for some screenshot im using a customized Sweet FX instead for Luma Sharpen, SMAA, Bloom, Tonemap, Vibrance and DPX.
Sweet FX: LINK
And there's no download link for that ENB, is still WIP and im not going to upload a beta for testing. Around 95% of my preset comes from Opethfeldt's last version, try it:
Opethfeldt ENB preset: LINK
I usually use the ENB Series GUI for a on-the-fly tweaking, so this means i change the settings almost for each screenshot.
I test every newest ENB Series dll and i don't have any "official dll" for my final preset.
UPDATE: For the last screenshots (example) im using DH ENB from Naver Cafe (LINK) but i'm tweaking it for the screenshots with the ENB's GUI.
2.3 CONFIG
I also enable grass/trees shadows and everyone should enable this.
I use 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 with ENB Series EdgeAA + SMAA, and of course, SSAO from ENB.
As always, these settings changes between each screenshot.
Im using a 2500K @ 4Ghz + GTX670 @ 1200mhz, enough for the unmodded game but i can get unplayable framerates with the grass mod.

3.2 WALLPAPERS
Here im uploading higher quality screenshots:
Impresionante. ¿Podrías reunirlos y subirlos en un torrent a algún tracker como ThePirateBay?
Amazing! Wish I could just download your whole Skyrim, being that my comp crashes b/c I'm too lazy to install each mod one-by-one :[
Hola, puedes darme una lista de los mods que usas. He estado tratando de hacer Skyrim parecer más bonito durante muchos meses.
You say you're using both Opethfeltd and SweetFX. How did you set that up? I've done it and am having problems with SweetFX. Maybe I replaced files I wasn't supposed to?
Hi,
What is the song used for the first video ? Good work ;)
soooo.... how do we get to make our Skyrim look like your screenshots?, since in your post, you stated that only those mods won't make our skyrims look like that
Please add this to the FAQ, preferably with an answer attached. :)
Is this compatible with darker nights and darker dungeons? (Yes, it's needed because the nights look like afternoon without it).
you should put the mods in a torrent, you help a many skyrim players, and congratuletions!
Maybe add this to the FAQ:
When might you release your grass mod?
Also, if we donate to you, is there any chance of getting access to the full list of your mods and your custom mods so we can make our skyrim look that good? :) I've added all the mods that you list here and O's ENB, but mine still doesn't look that good (as you said it wouldn't).
When it's done =)
what holding you from releasing the ENB? from your screenshots it seems perfect and good to go
-I didn't use the same ENB presets for all the screenshots.
-Im not showing all the weathers/locations/times of day.
So it's far to be finished.
So.. when everything is ready, will you release this as a package including every mod + ini needed to make it look exactly to the screenshots? If I have to donate I'm willing to do so :)
I won't upload a modpack because it weights around 17Gb.
Good morning,
I would like to know if your grass mod will be available to download.
Thanks.
Someday, please read 1.1.6
could leveling a torrent with your game, or the folder with all the mods?
I won't upload anything as i said before.
I thought I had a good Skyrim experience going. I was finally happy with it. Then I saw your screenshots. Now I want to cry. ;_;
can you please tell me which mod or save file or preset did you use to make the girl on 0:58 in video [Skyrim] Custom Character Collection Vol. 4 (1080p) on youtube? sorry if i send this comment to many times i dont know how blogs function nor know spanish
I can't remember which mods i used for each screenshot, including girls.
fuck man, your Skyrim looks so awesome...
Cant you just name three things that mostly influenced the beauty of your screenshots?
ENB Series mostly.
How much frame rate hit should we expect with the finished grass mod when you are done with it. I know right now it hits hard from what im hearing but im not sure if you are going to have it optimized to hit less.
Very low performance, of course :D
And im not going to optimize it, there are better performance mods but they have less grass.
So how far are you thinking you are from completion of the grass mod. I know its usually hard to judge but I saw your video from 4 days ago where you were showing it off and selling your hard drive and it looks amazing. Is there a lot more to do or can we expect a release date in the near future?
Too far and that video is old.
Are you going to release these mods and if you are when will you release it?
Btw your one of the best modders ive ever seen
^"Noctume A" I believe that the person who runs this page didn't actually make any of the mods, but used a whole bunch to achieve this look.
It tells you on the page where to look for the ones he used.
Which mods did you use to make the girls look so much better and realistic. I also saw Lara Croft in there, how did you get that?
I just want all of your girl's mod !!
Hi,
can you make a post with All your mods ?
Thanks.
Hi. hope you will upload your amazing ENB preset, I know a lot of people who would like that in the Skyrim communauty! =)
I know you will upload your own grass mod thanks a lot!
It would be nice to categorize your mods in section 2.1.
BTW you have a great site, I check it every day! :)
@ Joco1114
Done !
¡Gracias! Thank you! Köszönöm!
