Holy cow, the Live Another Life mod is absolutely amazing.

It's just nice for playing many characters? I prefer playing with a single char. I don't understand why have many, though it's just my way of thinking. Do you start many new characters and play it like a roguelike or what?
Some people like to try different races and skills...

I make new characters every time I play, yea. For the most part, at least. That's not why I like it so much though. Just generating me somewhere other then Helgen makes the game seem very much different. For example, in my latest character, I played through as a dunmer refugee. I hadn't been in Windhelm before, so it was like a whole new game.

As for why I make so many characters, I use SkyRE, so "one size fits all" type gameplay doesn't really come into play. The racial powers are cool and there's way more perks then I'll ever realistically use.

Anyway, I think I brought this up before, but it's still annoying me: there's no "randomize" button in the character creation screen! I loved just hitting randomize until I got something workable in Oblivion, but now I'm kind of forced to tweak presets. It's boring! Is there a mod that will add a randomization button?

I dunno, I NEVER got anything that looked remotely human / sentient when I used randomize in oblivion.

I don't have steam version and no dawnguard dlc so I thought i didnt need script extender, anyway installed a compatible version (edit: of script extender) for my Skyrim but still no joy. Just automatically closes once it gets to main menu.

Meh, maybe I might get dawnguard at xmas sale with steam and try it then.
I'm having the same issue, but I have a Steam version, installed script extender, used the Nexus Mod Manager thing, no dice.  Crashes when it hits menu.

edit: going to try some things.  Backing up Skyrim, then going to delete local content and make a fresh install.  Then I'll only put those two mods in.  I have other mods in, and I suspect they're clashing here and there.

BOSS.  Then try another loader.  Check your BSAs.

And Im fairly certain that IMPs is making my game crash.  The whole timescale changing bit.  I took it off dynamic as a test and wonders were worked.  I also have autosave set to 5min and save before entering a new region.

did.  Not currently playing.

I want to buy the land in the Pale. However, I cannot get anyone in Dawnstar to offer me the kill the giant quest, which is required, I believe.

What is wrong? I did the Nightcaller temple quest.

My average character level at restart os probably around 25...  ot gets boring when I become all powerful.  Compare to level 45 and 30ish for morrowind/oblivion.

One mod I've been very thankful for installing is HiAlgo. Not very useful if you run Skyrim smoothly already, but if you get some choppy framerates (or the delay in response time is annoying you) this might be the thing for you.

I was having a big issue of dropping frames, but that's been fixed :)

That is exactly the sort've thing I'm looking for (not enough video memory or memory memory, everything else is fine) so that sounds like it cinches the deal. Thanks!

I've seen two so far.  One reduces the textures to about half their original size, supposedly with very little loss in visual quality.  Another reduces the textures to basically nothing, and the world looks made up of solid color or naked models.
Do you know what the first is called, or is it the same as the one Rex jsut mentioned?

Also, Hi Skyrim thread.

No, the mod I was referring to literally just reduced the size of textures by half.  That HiAlgo thing is something completely different and quite intriguing.

I believe the quest has a level requirement of ~22 or so. Are you high enough level?

Even though killing a giant is easy, even at level one.
