What's been up

I haven't posted in a while and I didn't do the top 10.The reason is that I just didn't want to do it.There are a lot of house mods,and I really didn't have a favorite.There are so many house mods,and so many things to look at.

I should have just said so,but I didn't and I apologize for that.I plan on posting regularly again from now on and maybe do a Top  10 on something else,but for now I'm leaving it,and Skyrim as well.I don't have a passion for screenshots anymore,and even less for Skyrim.But,we will see.For now,have a deathbell

Update regarding today's top 10

Ello

Yesterday,I said I was doing a top 10  Skyrim house mods today,but I was busy all day and this isn't really something I can do quickly.So,I think it would work out better for me if I delay it to tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Top 10 The Witcher 3 visual mods

Ello
So yeah,I've been away for a few days...sorry about that
Anyway,here is my top 10 The Witcher 3 Visual mods

1:HD reworked Project

I mentioned this mod numerous times before,it basically does what the name indicates.It replaces some in-game textures with higher-quality ones.

2:Super Turbo Lighting mod
A very nice visual mod which changes and improves lighting and particles on multiple ways,such as improving water reflections and adding some ambient occlusion

3:STLM Enhancement Reshade and Extreme Graphics Settings Tier
A very nice quality reshade preset which improves on the Super Turbo Lighting Mod with features such as darker nights,colorcorrection and improved bloom+sharpening.Be sure to take the full version,and if your rig can handle it,the optional extreme graphics tier file as well

4:No Dirt Lens Effect
Removes the occasional dirt spots you will find on your screen,kind of like a dirty lens or glass.You will mostly notice it when looking at the sun.This mod is great if you like a clearer image

5:Atmospheric nights
This mod greatly improves night time by making it darker,giving fire a more natural color and balancing soft lights + a few more features.The author recommends you get the Super Turbo Lighting Mod,which I covered before.This mod looks great,especially igni.Now you have more reasons for burning everything with it other than being a pyromaniac xD

6:Improved Sign Effects
Makes the visual effect of Igni and Aard more intense and good looking

7:Armor Recolors and beautiful women
Note:Armor recolors are optional and I recommend you only get the beautiful woman.This adds new textures to the game which improves the looks of  many women in the game,and offers recolored armors you can take as well if you wish.I personally only took the beautiful women part,I'm satisfied with the vanilla armor colors

8:Friendly HUD
A mod which offers a lot of options on improving the HUD and extending it.It contains many features,such as 3D quest markers and a compass.It really has a lot of customization options and as such,I really recommend this one

9:Lore-friendly Witchers
This makes Geralt look more lore friendly by making it more clear that he is a mutant,and giving him true witcher.I really like this since the vanilla Geralt looked far too much like a normal human for me.

10: Next-gen Novigrad
This makes the meshes of various walls,streets etc in Novigrad higher quality and thus,better looking

So there you have it,my top 10 Witcher 3 visual mods.Thank God this game doesn't have ENB support

Skyrim top 10 ENB presets


Hey
So today I'm doing my top 10 is top 10 ENB presets.Now this,more than any other,depends on your taste.Some might be bright,some might be too dark.Some might be too performance heavy,some might not look good enough.These are the ones I prefer,however for you they may not look as good,because maybe you don't like it or you can't have it's full potential
Also,I can't really describe a enb preset,so each time Ill just do the list and show two images each time

1:Project ENB(fantasy version)

2:Tetrachromatic

3:Realvision

4:Skypretty

5:Docter's

6:Perfected

7:Project MATSO

8:Jasmin

9:Springtime

10:Bubble

At the moment I don't use either of these,mine is a mix of different ENBs and self-customized settings.I might show some screenshots and share it,then you can decide if you want it or not.Anyway,if you have any trouble installing a ENB,let me know and I will try to help you

Top 10 non-visual The Witcher 3 mods

So here we go,The Witcher 3 top 10 non-visual mods.I will only do two ones,visual and non-visual because I don't use a lot of mods nor is there a lot of mods.But anyways,here's my list

1:Random Encounters
This mod adds a lot of random encounters around the world,which can be configured by you in the mod menu.Personally,I feel this mod is a must have since it adds so much life and immersion to The Witcher 3

2:Debug Console Enabler
This enables a debug console similar to Skyrim's console.You may think this can only be used to cheat,but there are much more uses to it,such as mod testing.Some features you can try out for example is god mode,playing as Ciri,spawning giants in town and more

3:Increased Creature Loot
LOOOOT! LOOT!.This modifies the loot enemies drop by making them always drop loot and have more loot,or just the former,based on what version you use.The amount by which it is increased is also dependent on which version you download

4; Disabled Storybook Videos
Removes the annoying recap videos that appears when you load a save.This has saved me a lot of annoyance and time since I can now dive straight into the loading screen instead of waiting for that crap

5:Gear improvements last longer
Name says it all.This mod increases the time grindstone and workbench bonuses lasts,to a full in-game day or a half,depending on your choice

how am I supposed to do 10 of these,I was barely able to do 5.I don't have a lot of non-visual mods


6:Jump in shallow water
Oh come on,I doubt I need to tell you what this does.Really?fine....This mod allows Geralt to jump in shallow water.There,happy?

7:Wealthy Vendors
Again,the name pretty much says it all.But sure,Ill do it again.This mod increases the amount of money merchants have.Useful if you just found some epic weapon that you don't need/want but the merchant doesn't have enough money for it

8:Better Icons
This improves the icons by adding their name on their icon.No longer do you have to hover your mouse over a potion to see what it is,you can see it's name on the icon.Very useful

9:Parry with Torch
As the name suggests,this allows you to parry when you have a torch out.It;s a pretty neat feature,and one I have wanted since I started playing the game

10:Slots Slots SLOTS
This  allows you to customize how many skill slots you have,which is really great for me since I was annoyed by the fact that you can only have certain skills active.

Skyrim Top 10 Texture mods Part 2

Greetings

As promised,here is part 2 of my top 10 texture mods.

6:Ultimate HD Fire Effects
'A picture is worth a thousand words'.This is especially true about graphics mods,since you can clearly see what it's doing,like here.For example,you can clearly see that this mod trashes the vanilla my little pony flames.This mods make flames looks better,by either  using vanilla,medium or ultra quality textures,depending on what version you download.

7:Inside the Nebula
Here we go,one of my night sky mods,as can be seen here .This mod replaces some of the empty black spaces of the vanilla with high quality nebula's.The one in this screenshot and mine is the waterfall version,though there are more.This mod isn't even that performance intense,so many can enjoy this beauty

8:Skyrim Lore Friendly Vanilla Nightsky Retexture 4K
Jeez,what a mouth full.Why not just Nightsky Retexture 4K.Anyway,this replaces the stars and all nightsky stuff with high-quality 4K ones.It does a great job,since the nightsky looks great.The reason why this 'lore-friendly' one was made is to give those who want normal high-quality night-skies without 'strange' or 'colorful' textures what they want.I recommend using this alongside Insude the Nubula for maximum quality

9:HD Enhanced Terrain
Look at that,just look at how much better it looks.Ok,looked long enough?Good,then go download it.No,seriously,go.It's much higher quality,it's a small download and according  to the author it has no performance effect,not even on a 8400 GS.Why wouldn't you download it?

10:Enhanced Blood textures
This one was actually one of the first Skyrim mods,and not only does it add higher quality and detailed blood textures,it also allows you to configure screen blood,spasms,blood on weapons and more.I say you should definitely get this if you don't mind it,because bloody hell does it look better .Hahahahah,puns.Yeah,hahahaha.Don't worry,Ill get off the stage myself

There you go,my top 10 texture mods finally finished.I still have another top 10 mods for The Witcher 3 coming,and I may try and continue my Skyrim for low-end rigs series

Sincerely
WhiteFang

Skyrim:Top 10 texture mods Part 1

Hya.
As I said,I wanted to start doing top 10s and I'm starting it off with my top 10 Skyrim texture mods.However,I'm only going to cover 5 today and 5 tomorrow,sinceI don't have a lot of time right now(I will still do another top 10 tomorrow). Obviously,these are quite performance heavy,though that can be helped by using the texture optimizer I covered before here.As long as your rig makes the recommended requirements for Skyrim,you should be able to handle this.So,let's start shall we

1:aMidianBorn Book of Silence

Not the highest quality of all,but it's my favorite because it's so good looking and fairly light on performance for a texture mod of this size.In the download section each pack is separated(Weapons,armors,Unique items tec).You can choose what you want download and take only that,or you can download all packs and install them all(I highly recommend you do,especially if you care about your performance and don't want a lot of texture mods).

2:Skyrim HD-2K textures

This texture mod is covers a lot,including things aMidianBorn doesn't.The last part of the name is a bit misleading though,since not all textures are 2K.The mod has two version,a Lite and Full version.The Lite version is 1K,while the full version's textures range from 2-8K.Again,if you seek performance take the Lite version.
3:Skyrim Flora Overhaul
Not much to say about this.It overhauls the flora by adding more variety to it and making it higher quality.Comes in Basic,Regular,Summer and v2+ editions.To help out with performance,you can get the SFO version of Grass on Steroids

4:Tamriel Reloaded HD
Here we go,the God of quality.The only reason this isn't number 2 is the huge download size and performance hit.Not only does it make textures higher quality,it adds more texture variety AND makes it parallax.If you want to make your Skyrim look REALLY high quality I recommend you download this.

5:4K Parallax Skyrim
This is a smaller scale high-quality parallax  mod which replaces some textures with 4K parallax ones.This is nice if you don't have a good internet connection or that good of a rig but you still want your Skyrim to look better.In fact,as long as your can handle Skyrim fairly well( doesn't  need to make the recommended), you should be able to handle this,

Now that we are on that subject,have you noticed how retarded some game requirements are?I have seen some people play games on high settings with playable fps,without any performance mods/tweaks,that their rig isn't even supposed to be able to handle.Game requirements are almost NEVER accurate

Anyway,sorry for not being able to do all the texture mods today,but like I said,I will do the rest tomorrow as well  as the full top 10 list I was planing to do tomorrow

Sincerely
WhiteFang
