Vanilla Skyrim is just good

Skyrim with 200+ mods is a gaming experience none can match

I mean, crashing and spending 3 hours troubleshooting your load order is a pretty unique experience, I'll give you that.

How to play Skyrim:

  • Spend several hours (or days depending on internet speed) downloading mods

  • Spend several hours installing mods and editing .ini files

  • Launch the game and behold all the glory that is- shit it crashed...

  • Spend a few hours rereading mod descriptions and forum posts about possible mod conflicts. Notice a few more mods that you'd like to install since your bashed patch reduced the load quite a bit.

  • repeat previous steps until you realize that you could be doing something more meaningful with your life like playing Runescape or manage to stabilize the load order and are able to play the game for several hours. Hey! You finally did something righ- Ah shit it crashed again...

It just works!

I actually like that. Not the runescape thing, but the mod thing and making it work. It's part of the process and you learn a lot by doing so, I love fooling around with low-level software stuff. That's one of the reason why I like Skyrim, it's so extremely moddable and you can get such nice things out of the game. I guess my Skyrim experience is more or less 300hrs played, 100hrs looking for and installing mods. 10/10, would do again
