That just screams "I'm a powerful mage, kill me first"

You are worthy of a well placed Mana drain poisoned arrow bud.

There are many more out there, but these mods are what I used to create my current character.

Visual/Graphics

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/users/3417809 (Check the third tab to see his city re-textures.)

Weapons/Armors

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12092
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15494
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22368

But as usual, just mix and match which ever mods you like and look up mod vids and reviews to see if there are any that catch your eyes.
Nice. If you didn't already have it, you might appreciate this addition to your character: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11447

I initially got that for my tiny mage, but it actually looks pretty cute on my tall, lanky, warrior lass as well.

Got it; I want my toon to walk or run just right.

One of the most enjoyable, excellently true-to-lore mods that I'm trying out is an expansion to Winterhold, that is, depicting the town as once a great city that fell victim to a disaster. I'm halfway inside the entombed quarter, but asides from the pitch-black darkness (damn hard to see even with my monitor at vivid mode, but this is good for a DarkBro/Thieves operative so it's best to turn off the lights in the room to maximize the experience) I'm told the fighting could be hairy even for a level 65 toon.

Well there's immersion, for which I found a gold mine of things ranging from crime alert radius to Frostfall. But there's aesthetics too, and if you're looking at the same character bouncing around all day, might as well do it just right

As the author of that mod implies, correct feminine movements.



Just as when I requested to Esbern for a dragon-killing assignment, suddenly an Elder Dragon dropped right on top, started attacking but we fragged him, anyway.

Been playing around with visual mods and found the perfect one. It's called True Vision ENB (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15983). Cannot play Skyrim without this visual mod; however, it makes a huge dent on your PC if you use the highest settings. If you notice on my SS, I had to tune down the shadow quality quite a bit to make the game playable. I highly recommend this ENB if you have a pretty good PC. Here are some screens:


Serana


Just playin around with cosmetics




On a more serious note, my actual main character





What my character looks like under that dark thingy

I use the same ENB settings. Unfortunately, I can't turn it up as high as you can until my new PC ships in.

That's an interesting color scheme for the Nightingale armor retex, btw.

Scanner your main character is intense What Armour is that? The helm looks like a re texture of the brotherhood one.

There are a few school uniform mods out there, but I'd be happier if there was a Yoko Nakajima (12 Kingdoms) armorset or even a reskin (I like black or dark-hued school uniforms)... However, since no one seems to have done such a thing, I think I'll have to do a bit of studying (more like revisiting, as I once did such a thing on an old MMO) on the use of DDS textures.

Intresting stuff, but it seems like every game must have zombies involved .

Oh, I'd be up for it.... especially with a wide sweep 2H attack or a PBAOE nuke.

Thanks. The mod I found actually has the whole outfit dyed completely white with a red cape, but I only used the hood.

The armor is ebony armor, but is actually light armor and reskinned. It's on steam workshop called Light Holy Armor (there's a heavy armor version of it too). The hood is not part of that armor collection, it's part of another one called
Nightingale Armor with DragonArmor Stats off of steam workshop

I thought I saw that hood before. Thanks for the names think I will be installing that mod for the ebony armour

@Vexx 2h sweep with a axe, would be a lot of fun, hordes of them too, or even better a warhammer. Would be pretty messy

Found this old-school, servicey sailor uniform armor mod, and I thought it was awesome:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/18584

However, asides from his odd English and sparse documentation, the author seems to like using some odd ingredients and crafting materials when making and upgrading armor, as he used an upgrade item that was actually part of a food mod (bad practice):
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16763

Weirdly, seems that the uniform dissolves to nothing but undies everytime my toon swims.

"toon" is a term that seems to have started in MMOs. I don't use it for the same reason (my characters are not "cartoons"), but I guess it is easier to spell than "avatar" or "character"

Bug or feature? <rofl>

I'm actually used to PC (player character) or simply character, or guy, but toon is just weird as hell.
I like to differentiate my cartoons from video game PCs and NPCs.

I just simply use main character, NPC, or player lolz or just char for short.

For you Star Wars fans:




Combined the SW (Galen Marek aka Star Killer Outfit or Magicka Sabers Expanded mod on steam workshop) mods with The Dance Of Death - A Killmoves Mod to increase decapitation chance really does give the "jedi" feeling haha. Too bad you can't cut off limbs but I'm sure there's another mod out there with that
