Hmm, I'm still getting errors on NMM (and the Creation Kit, but apparently that's a different issue altogether). Will I have to reinstall the program to get things working again? My mods (most of then crafting fixes) are still active, so it's a minor thing.

If it makes you feel better they have winter gear for the wintery regions I'll post that sometime. (seriously, my girls look very modest/conservative compared with a lot of the bullshit "stripper" crap spamming the mod sites, this is more "John Carter" or "Conan" swashbuckle) Actually, a mod that turns off all magic except for the supernatural from NPCs might be interesting... As for the NMM -- I'm having a fair amount of trouble with mod downloads completing through the NMM. The way it succeeds or fails makes me think the server is just getting hammered with popularity. When the file won't complete, I manually download it and put it in the mod folder - the next time I start the NMM it sees it and adds it to the list. The CK has a basket of bugs - especially in the visual arenas (the CAD/CAM type stuff like appearances, cell maps, etc). Lately, I've just been using a separate executable mod that is a specific NPC Editor with decent results.

You know what? They should have just rendered all Unique weapons to have infinite charge. So that even though they aren't the best weapons possible, the fact that they never run out of juice should make them a compelling thing to own. It would make sense too, especially for daedric artefacts.

The point is to make Unique weapons actually Unique, while not making them over powered. Currently very few Uniques actually are special enough to be anything but ordinary enchanted equipment with a name and special graphic. Giving them infinite charge would make them attractive and an excuse to make them special, while still give power gamers a reason to Enchant their own items.

Aye, it is similar to the problem MMOs have in balancing "rare drops" versus crafted. Get it wrong and it utterly breaks either questing for gear or the craft economy.
Just a safety note - I decided to backup a copy of my "currently working" skyrim folder just in case I replicate whatever I did to break it the other day.

I finally have my holidays again, haven't touched Skyrim for 4 months and its still in Vanilla after 400 hours of play. Anyone has any good mod recommendations?
I don't really need texture packs, since my com is crappy and I play on low, medium settings. Any must get mods that improves performance, convenience, menu functions etc. Maybe more equipment, increased difficulty, better models and such.

Categorized Favorites Menu - This is a MUST. The vanilla favorites were a ridiculous mess once you got more shouts/spells/potions. Einherjar + Warchief armor - Absolutely stunning standalone endgame armor. Lore-friendly, much better looking than Dragonplates or Ebony stuff imho (light/heavy variants, craftable). JaySuS Swords - Some of the best looking lore-friendly weaponry from a mod. Once again, craftable (steel perk). Winter is Coming (cloaks) - If you want a giant piece of fur on your back. Pines of Whiterun - Trees added to the city. I usually stay away from mods changing the aesthetics of towns, but this one is worth it. Vanilla Whiterun looks so barren. Dungeons/Wilds (Sounds of Skyrim) - Ambient surround sounds added to the wilderness. Wolves howling at night, wraiths screeching in dungeons. It makes the game a little more lively and unpredictable.

If you use followers, I really like the Ultimate Follower Overhaul - it fixes many of the complaints about followers (cookiecutter twins, not leveling properly, use of gear, etc).
I am liking the Deadly Archery mod though it makes life a lot of more interesting/deadly. The rest is pure taste issues. I've heavily modded appearances and character creation options, added weapons, etc. There is a *lot* of crap out there (wading through all the stupid "Clinical Stripper Armor" unsexy mods and "me god mode" overwrought gear that demolishes game play). Also, I highly recommend copying your game folder to a back up before modding -- some of the mods really break the game for some people (instant CTD on launch). Some of the mods can break game saves.. Some perk mods are known to create CTDs when you check General Stats, for example. I'll post a more complete "minimum favorite mods" once I repair the game again (wheeee). I've just figured out, for example, that one of the high definition texture mods causes CTD-on-launch for my system. Currently restoring from my backup folder as I type because uninstalling the mod doesn't fix it.

Other than that, the usual cosmetic changes. Better map that actually show roads (what's the point of a map otherwise?), SkyUI, and that's about it.

I don't mind an occasional arrow in the back of the head or the errant sword swing, but yeah mage followers demonstrate very well why mages tend to be solo or to send the cannon fodder in first.
