From Funiaita

Too quiet

from vizionblind: (SkyrimPrefs.ini)

under

change that to

Enable Loudness Equalization from Control Panel. If it is enabled, disable it.

Paste what follows in skyrim.ini under the [Display] section: (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini)

fdefaultfov=90
fDefaultWorldFOV=90

The following works (in first person) well too for me:

Requiem

Do NOT mix Requiem with the mods from the list below. It is kind of: Requiem OR the mods from the list. You can probably mix some, but because I currently don't play Requiem any more I don't know about that.


Did you ever get annoyed about the automatic leveling of your enemies? How they scale to your levels? If you get better as a smith or as an alchemist, the enemies get stronger. If you are a mage but get some skills in archery, the enemies get stronger. If you are able to fight with a one-handed weapons against an enemy, as soon as you get skills in blocking, the enemy get better and stronger and you don't have an advantage. This sucks.

Requiem removes the scaling. The world is leveled as they say. Certain areas have preferred enemies of a certain level. So if you get better in alchemy, the enemy stays the same. If you get more weapons skill, the enemy is the same, you get an advantage.

Skyrim Mods
Mod Name Mod Description Mod Link Extra Information
Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch A comprehensive bugfixing mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Legendary Edition. The goal of the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (aka USLEEP) is to eventually fix every bug with Skyrim and its 3 DLCs not officially resolved by the developers to the limits of the Creation Kit and community-developed tools, in one easy-to-install package. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214 SUPPORT, needed by other mods
SkyUI Elegant, PC-friendly interface mod with many advanced features. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3863 SUPPORT, needed by other mods
Dark Brotherhood for Good Guys Ever wanted to be a "good guy" and still go through the Dark Brotherhood quest line? Or maybe you just feel like you'd like to know more about your targets and the motives behind the murders before you kill someone! Either way, this mod is designed to flesh out the Dark Brotherhood quest line and let you play as a not-so-evil person https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61123

JContainers The main goal of the project is to extend Papyrus with JSON-based data structures (arrays and maps). https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49743 SUPPORT, needed by other mods
Pickpocket Rebalance This is just a very simple mod that raises the maximum pickpocket chance to 100% and makes the gold value of the item count 1/10th of the vanilla setting when calculating the chance for success.

It never made sense to me that expensive, yet small items can be all but impossible to steal. I can agree you might pay a little more attention to your more valuable things, but you don't put motion sensors on them...In the vanilla game, it is easier to steal a full suit of armor than it is to steal one enchanted gold ring.

I'm only uploading this because I figured that if I wanted a simple change to pickpocket that doesn't affect perks or other massive stealth gameplay changes, then someone else might want it as well.

This only changes the pickpocketmaxchance and the pickpocketvaluemult settings and is compatible with any mod that doesn't change either of those.

Summermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim Summermyst adds 120 new enchantments to the game. The new enchantments are integrated seamlessly into the vanilla item system. It also makes many improvements to vanilla enchantments. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80918?tab=description

So when walking in the city streets during the day, you'll hear the echo of doors opening and closing, children playing and workers sawing things. While at night, cats fight for territory and dogs bark.

Crime Bounty Decay Provides for a reduction over time of your criminal bounty in a hold, as long as you stay away from the area where you're wanted. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51247
Crime Overhaul Guards are less inept, getting arrested is less cumbersome, accidental attacks are more forgiving, and Thaneship is more rewarding.
  • Paying off your bounty never results in being transported to another location.
  • Getting away with crimes is now more challenging: guards who make the remark "Wait... I know you" will force the player into dialogue. (Violent crimes will get the "stand fast" dialogue.) Exiting this dialogue will be considered resisting arrest.
  • The greeting distance for all NPCs has been greatly reduced so that you almost need to physically bump into a guard in order to be caught.
  • Crimes totalling less than the "petty crime threshold" won't put you on their radar (unless they are alerted.)
  • Guards who catch you in the act of accidentally attacking someone (even themselves) and then surrendering will immediately let you go.
  • Sheathing your weapons will prevent normally-friendly NPCs from attacking you in return under most circumstances, and accidental violent crimes will be forgiven. (Exceptions are when you've committed an act of cannibalism or when your violent crime fines exceed a threshold.)
  • Being caught by the guards gives the player a 50% chance of getting the "I don't have time for this..." response, which means that you'll be allowed to leave without paying a fine. (This chance only happens if you run into a non-alerted guard.)
  • Aela, Farkas, Skjor, and Vilkas can now arrest the player or demand bounty payment. This fixes the "endless forcegreet" bug which is present in vanilla Skyrim.
  • High violent crime bounties are no longer payable by fines. To change this, set "CrimeOverhaulMurderPay" to 1.
  • Violent crimes and high bounties for non-violent crimes now have a chance of sending the player directly to jail upon arrest.
  • The jailbreak system has been overhauled so that escaping from jail is actually rewarding.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71531?tab=description
Wiseman303's Flora Fixes Fixes bugs relating to harvestable objects in Skyrim, including the Flora Respawn Bug. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70656?tab=description needed by "Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul". I guess that in case of conflicts CAACA should overwrite this mod.
Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul This mod is a complete overhaul of the alchemy and cooking systems. Its intention is to provide a balanced, consistent experience throughout all aspects of alchemy and cooking, from harvesting and collecting ingredients to high-level potion and food creation.
  • All potions have been renamed to allow them to naturally sort from strongest to weakest.
  • Player-created potions will be named to better reflect their strength and effects.
  • Player-created potions will be fully consistent in strength, cost, and name to the ready-made potions found in game.
  • Impure potions no longer provide a quick means to get rich.
  • Adds 16 new alchemical effects that can be created from ingredients and found as ready-made potions.
  • Grenades and long lasting weapons coatings open up new combat strategies and play-styles.
  • New portable alchemy workstations allow potion creation to take place anywhere.
  • Create salves and poultices which can be applied to bandages for an alternative to healing spells and potions.
  • Distill weaker potions to make stronger versions.
  • Over 100 new lore-friendly ingredients have been integrated into the world.
  • Adds 51 new critters: 21 moths & butterflies, 11 dragonflies, and 19 pond fish.
  • Harvest amounts from plants and animals have been adjusted for greater realism and less tedious gameplay.
  • Hearthfire's gardening feature has been updated to include missing vanilla plants as well as many of the newly added ingredients.
  • Features high-quality meshes and textures from some of the best modders and artists in the community.
  • Harvest blood and other powerful alchemical ingredients from fallen enemies. Vampires can use the blood to create unique blood potions.
  • Meat can be harvested from nearly all animals and creatures and used in new cooking recipes.
  • Over 100 new food items have been added.
  • All food effects have been altered to use extended duration 'fortify' effects.
  • Large foods and drinks are now automatically divided into smaller servings.
  • Cooking recipes have been reworked for better balance and greater realism.
  • You'll gain cooking experience and increase you cooking skill as you create foods.
  • Increasing your cooking skill will give you access to more complex recipes and increase the strength of the foods you consume.
  • An entirely optional and incredibly light-weight hunger and fatigue system is included for those who don't want to use a separate needs mod.
  • Alcoholic drinks will now cause drunken effects with increasingly severe penalties.
  • Cannibalistic recipe options have been provided for followers of Namira.
  • All food items are fully integrated for compatibility with iNeed, and recipes that require water will recognize iNeed's waterskins.
  • Weapon Waxes. Waxy coatings can be made to poison your weapons for multiple hits.
  • Mortars and Pestles. Five Ranks. Having one in your inventory will enhance the strength of the potions you create, up to 20% stronger potions for having a Master Mortar and Pestle. They can also be activated directly from your inventory to allow you to craft potions anywhere. However, the potions you create using just a mortar and pestle will be weaker than those you create at a fully furnished alchemy table.
  • Alchemist's Retort. This is a new type of Alchemy crafting station that allows for recipe-specific crafting. Retorts can be accessed at any tabletop alchemy lab and can also be purchased as a separate portable crafting station. A retort is needed in order to create bombs, waxes, distilled potions, purified ingredients and extracts, salves, poultices, and other specialty potions.
  • Alchemist's Crucible. This is another new alchemy tool. A crucible can be used to standardize player-made potions. This will convert your potions and poisons into their generic equivalent. In most cases this will result in a decrease of the potion's strength. However, it will allow player-made potions and poisons to be used in the wax coating and distillation recipes that allow you to create stronger versions of potions and poisons. Currently, the crucible will only work with single-effect potions.
  • Salves, Poultices and Bandages. These provide alternative means of healing for characters who might not want to always guzzle potions or use healing spells. Bandages can be created from linen wraps at a tanning rack. They must then be cleaned using either a cookpot+water or a retort+alcohol. The effects for both salves and poultices only work when the player is injured. The effects cease once the player is fully healed. Once used, the bandages need to be cleaned before they can be used again.
  • Changes to Altars. Altars no longer Cure Disease. This was done to help balance the usefulness of the Cure Disease potions. This effect is still quite common, and Potions of Cure Disease are readily available at apothecary merchants. The intention was not to make diseases more difficult to cure, but rather to emphasize the role of alchemy in everyday life in Skyrim.
