anything SkyProc is awesome really, but I haven't tried many overhauls yet. I tried ACE + Duel + ASIS but I missed Skyre and now T3ndo told us how to make ASIS and Skyre work together so ...
I tried Skyrim Unleashed with Duel Combat and didn't like it. Duel was fine but Unleashed is just restricting everything for the sake of being restrictive. I played on Master, as I am with SkyRe and didn't really see much difference as far as combat goes.
I consider Skyre the OOO of Skyrim, and when coupled with some nice stuff like skytest, skymomod , immersive creatures, immersive patrols, obis etc. it feels a lot like FCOM... too bad we don't have anything like WAC yet ( btw, facebook tells me Alex arrived in New Jersey, maybe he's on his way home? )
Wouldn't that be something if Alex decided to take a look at Skyrim modding.
Yes, I consider SkyRe one of, if not THE most essential mod. After that comes the others you mention although I don't use all of them. Then mods like Convenient Horses, Moonlight Tales, Birds etc, etc. All these are professional grade addons and make the game worth playing. Oh....forgot another most essential...SkyUI. That I will never play without but not if I had to choose only one mod and had to play the rest vanilla.
hopefully once summer holidays start in New Zealand Soolie will have time to finish the update
Well, summer holidays in New Zealand won't be until December/January...
. I'm in Australia and Winter has just started here and in NZ.
btw, could you guys help bring more attention and endorsements towards this mod?

the author has become a bit disillusioned about this and stopped updating due to not enough interest in it, but it truly deserves more. plus it's just a tiny .esp that can be turned off and on at will, which is nice. Tropical Skyrim/Summer Skyrim/Springtime Overhaul are all huge with tons of conflicts, this is the opposite. when I tried the Texture Pack Combiner ( how awesome is that? hopefully it gets updated soon ) with SFO and RCRN this mod really made the landscape look A LOT better
it needs grass on steroids to work properly, but that's another tiny .esp you can add and remove anytime, which now also comes with a version that doesn't increase grass height compared to vanilla
Well, the problem with that is I can't bring attention to something I don't use, or intend to use. There are literally tons of mods that could use a boost in interest but unless I plan to use any of them I can't in good faith recommend or endorse them. Modding is one of those things where you have to accept whatever happens, whether it's that someone has done it bigger and maybe better, or that people may not like it.
I know that from Oblivion where my niche was creature companions, a couple of races and one house mod...released that is. I did plenty of other stuff for personal use. Most people prefer human/elf followers so pretty much only the animal lovers gave my mods attention. It didn't bother me as I made them for myself first and others second. That's how one should think when modding a game. IMHO. If you do things only to please others exclusively you're setting yourself up for a fall, especially in the gaming community which can be harsh and unforgiving.
