Well, actually my peni- -err- -uhh- “MODS” folder is over 60Gb, but there’s a lot of them in there i don’t use. i’m just as guilty of downloading and using a few of those tasteless Japanese mods, but i don’t keep them in my game anymore. Most of them are character outfits and alternative body mesh mods that i quickly found were all too uncompilable with every other clothing mod i wanted to use.
A lot of them are clothes store mods that add about 50+ slutty outfits and bondage gear. Except there’s at least one or two pair of modest pants in there i want my character to try on. 4Gb later, i realized it wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to get “Skanky McMiniskirt’s Buttplug Beautique” storefront to fit well in my modded version of Chorrol, so i gave up. Most of the time i just modded the bits and clothes i wanted into a barrel someplace and created a new plugin without the storefront.
The other half of mods are huge texture overhauls that either make everything too gritty and dark or make everything too bright, reflective or too bubbly. i found out pretty quick that i didn’t like most of them and the majority of them don’t have installers and pick’n’choose options. Like some that make forests, mountains and swamps look AWESOME but leave towns looking too lived-in and dirty.
if the rest of Skyrim looks nearly as gritty as most of the screen shots we’ve seen already, you can bet your boots of blinding speed i’ll be modding the Hell out of my game as soon as i beat the main quest.
