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
