This vid shows some of the immersive mods out there.

[BFEL]

SkyRe is indeed a good overhaul mod.
However I myself, is not using it anymore.
It's because there are certain other mods, which I like better and are incompatible with SkyRe.

Such as? I think I remember seeing your list of mods before and it was LONG.

I don't have the patience for elaborate modding anymore. I was thinking of SkyRe and some survival stuff, maybe Frostfall and beyond that still looking for suggestions.

Has anyone tried something like Frostfall or other realism mod and then done something to fix fast travel? I think fast travel really blow immersion. I am interested to know if this added fun to the game or just tedium.

Er......Frostfall IN ITSELF has the option to turn off fast travel
Or make it only possible if you're carrying an axe.
Note: If you don't have SKSE and SkyUI yet, GET THEM. Just remember that SKSE does NOT go in Data like other mods. Its very special.

I agree. These are probably the most important things to have, if you are going to use mods at all.

So...stupid question: how do you take screenshots in Skyrim? Different games tend to handle this HILARIOUSLY differently, so thought I should ask before I try and start up a lets play over on the "Play with your buddies" board.

The idea behind said Lets Play being that I'm using Skyrim Unbound, Frostfall, and Realistic Needs and Diseases (just decided to drop IMCN, this seems better) and I'll be starting up a game in The Chill, which if you don't know is Winterhold's(I think, could be dawnstar's) prison. Which is to say, its a cell inside a freaking glacier in the middle of the Sea of Ghosts. And I'll be breaking out of said prison. !SURVIVAL! will ensue. Also probably reloads. Lots and lots of reloads.

[Ultimuh]

So no Immersive weapons or armor? Ah well, up to you really.
Also I do recommend Skyrim Coin Replacer Redux.
(No more generic Gold in Dwemer ruins or ancient Nord burrows. (They have been replaced by somewhat lore-frienly alternatives.))

As for the screenshots.. I have no idea.. I never used that feature before.


edit:
Also, found this for those who wish for a small nostalgia trip and/or want a bit more spookier Skeletons/Draugr.

I'm using Immersive Armors, but not the weapons. Do you REALLY want my full modlist? I only put the ones relevant to the start of the lets play idea, my full list is HUGE.

[Leyic]

Skyrim's a Steam game, so you'd take screenshots in it like any other Steam game. Check settings by starting Steam and going to View > Settings > In-game.

Answer is apparently F12

And the LP is...sorta up. Waiting on Suggestions for Race and other settings, so go take a look at "Stupidly Survivalist Skyrim- Adventures in Immersion and Freezing to Death"

!SURVIVAL! will ensue. Also probably reloads. Lots and lots of reloads.

This is gonna be good...

Err, if that's huge, I might be a little worried.  I trimmed out the Skyrim core ESMs, Bethesda-provided "mods" (their high-texture add-on), and the kaybee patches I recognized, but even so...

Spoiler: Nyan~ (click to show/hide)

Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Essentially mandatory for bug-fixing
Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp
Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp
Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp
AzarHair.esm Azar's Ponytail Hairstyles: they don't quite look as out of place as Apachii
ClimatesOfTamriel.esm A general climate revamp, for fun with Frostfall
JSwords.esm JaySuS Swords.  So pretty.
SPIKE.esm Ummm, can't recall what this is.  I think it's a kaybee script.
Unofficial High Resolution Patch.esp  More patch stuff
Clothing & Clutter Fixes.esp Decomposes hooded clothes, makes things a bit more coherent. I used to use its accompanying mods until I swapped out for SkyRe; I might yet switch back, because the original CCO and SPO carried me through so many characters.
Chesko_Frostfall.esp Frostfall; even after I replaced Imp's More Complex Needs, I still kept this.
StaticMeshImprovementMod.esp Graphical improvements to the meshes
StaticMeshImprovementMod-DragonbornTernFix.esp
StaticMeshImprovementMod-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp
Auto Unequip Ammo.esp Taking off your ammo when you unequip your bow, and reequip it when you equip your bow
Auto Unequip Helmet.esp Helmet
Cart in Each Big Town.esp Not sure why I still have this; I think it's because Winterhold is on the far end of nowhere.
Chesko_WearableLantern.esp Highly useful with darkened nights; don't forget the SMIM compatibility patch so you don't get stuck with vanilla meshes
CookingExpanded.esp Good with the needs mod I use
Immersive Battles.esp The Immersive set is quite lovely; I only recently replaced Warzones with the lot of them, and haven't yet been disappointed.
Immersive Brigands.esp
Immersive Dawnguard.esp
Immersive Dragonborn.esp
Immersive Mercenaries.esp
Immersive Patrols.esp
Immersive Travelers.esp
Immersive Werewolves.esp
UnlimitedBookshelves.esp Bookshelves now tie to how many items will physically fit, rather automatically assuming you're using the very thickest books
Radiant and Unique Potions Poisons and Booze.esp More prettification
Realistic Wildlife Loot - Reduced.esp More needs-patch fun; basically lets you collect meat and furs.  Also works with Cooking Expanded
Realistic Wildlife Loot - Reduced - Dawnguard patch.esp
Realistic Wildlife Loot - Reduced - Dragonborn patch.esp
Realistic Wildlife Loot - Reduced - Hearthfires patch.esp
Skyrim Immersive Creatures.esp I'm...actually kinda unimpressed; it just feels a little out-of-place.
Skyrim Immersive Creatures - DLC2.esp
JSwords_Load_Screens.esp
RaceMenu.esp Little nice, little helpful.
RaceMenuPlugin.esp
SkyUI.esp Absolutely essential for me.
AMB Glass Variants Lore.esp
Cloaks.esp Cloaks of Skyrim mod, useful with Frostfall
Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp
1nivWICCloaks.esp Winter is Coming cloaks mod, useful with Frostfall
1nivWICSkyCloaksPatch.esp
Crossbows_Basic_Collection_EN_LL.esp Picked this one up here, actually
hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp Armor, armor...this one I actually declined to run for the longest time; just things like the barbarian armor sets looked absolutely ridiculous.  And, in fact, wearing them with Frostfall active is actually a good way to die of exposure, so that's amusing.
Immersive Weapons.esp Weapons, weapons...
JSwordsDistributionBalancePlugin.esp Ummm, I think this is in the Wryebash patch, too, not to mention SkyRe...
Raven Set v1.4.esp A nice set that I picked up, but didn't use much after my first game.  Still nice, though.
Dr_Bandolier.esp Bandoliers...I think I used this with some encumbrance mod, but never took it off when I set aside the encumbrance mod
Lock Overhaul.esp Another one I picked up here
DeadlyDragons.esp The name is self-explanatory
EmpoweredMagic.esp I think this is overwritten by SkyRE's changes.  Not sure why I still have it.  Probably for the few things that aren't.
EmpoweredMagic_Dawnguard.esp
EmpoweredMagic_Dragonborn.esp
StavesofSkyrim.esp Love the staves; shame the perks are overwritten by SkyRe.  I shuffle this in the load order based on whether I'm going mage or sword-and-board, because I don't know how to merge the two perk trees.
SkyRe_Main.esp Only picked this up recently; before, I used a whole bunch of separate mods, most of which are still around the load list
SkyRe_Combat.esp
SkyRe_EncounterZones.esp This...seems to interact in interesting ways with Live Another Life.
SkyRe_EnemyAI.esp
SkyRe_EnemyScaling.esp
SkyRe_StandingStones.esp
SkyRe_Survivalism.esp
Inconsequential NPCs.esp Flavor and fill
Run For Your Lives.esp So people don't die horribly to dragon raids
When Vampires Attack.esp Same, with vamps
Sell Stones of Barenziah.esp Because I was never fond of the Thieves Guild
Book Covers Skyrim.esp Book prettification
Book Covers Dawnguard.esp
Book Covers Hearthfire.esp
Book Covers Dragonborn.esp
Civil War Overhaul.esp Yet another one picked up here
Differently Ebony.esp Alternate mesh...not sure why I have it; my only heavy-armor character ever hasn't reached Ebony yet, and got overwritten when I installed SkyRe
Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp Bit more bug-fixing and criteria tweaking here.  Because I like not hearing about "arrows to the knee" or how I'm a sneak-thief for having a Security skill too high
Headtracking.esp But I so rarely leave first-person...
TheChoiceIsYours.esp Good for preemptive quest clean-up, and telling "but thou must" exactly what "must" be.
aMidianborn_Skyforge_Weapons.esp More textures, I think...
RealisticRoomRental.esp Also with needs; I think it mostly increases prices
RRR_Hearthfire-Patch.esp
EnhancedLightsandFX.esp Pretty
ELFX - Exteriors.esp
ELFX - Dawnguard.esp
ELFX - Dragonborn.esp
ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp
ClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp
ClimatesOfTamriel-Dungeons-Hardcore.esp
ClimatesOfTamriel-Interiors-Warm.esp
ClimatesOfTamriel-Nights-Level-6.esp Dark dark dark.  Now if only the "moons" didn't look like Nirn/Masser was a binary planet system, but that's a vanilla problem...
ELFXEnhancer.esp
Apocalypse - The Spell Package.esp More spells; for my dedicated mage character
Realistic crime report radius.esp I...don't actually commit crimes.  I think I was planning a thief at one point, though.
Duel - Combat Realism.esp Another fix pack, this one loaded after SkyRe to overwrite its changes
The Dance of Death - Ultimate Edition.esp Picked this up here; it replaced my "first-person-only killcam" mod.
Path of Shadows - Sneak Settings.esp Fixes to sneaking so it's not completely trivial; no longer actively supported, still prefer to SkyRe. Don't know why, though; I stopped loading the perks, alchemy, and magic settings..
dD-No Spinning Death Animation.esp
MacKom_LoreStylesHairSet.esp More hair
3DNPC.esp Immersive NPCs, I think.
WATER.esp Even more prettification
WATER Plants.esp
WATER DG.esp
WATER DB Waves.esp
RealisticNeedsandDiseases.esp Probably one of my critical mods, along with Frostfall.  Replaced Imp's More Complex Needs years back.
RND_Dawnguard-Patch.esp
RND_HearthFires-Patch.esp
RND_Dragonborn-Patch.esp
RND_USKP-Patch.esp
RND_UniqueBoozeBottles-Patch.esp
RND_AnimalLoot.esp
Cooking Expanded - RND Support.esp
EMCompViljaSkyrim.esp Picked this up after hearing Terry Pratchett helped write her on this thread; I don't normally use followers at all.  Actually, strictly speaking, I still haven't...
EMViljaInSolstheimAddOn.esp
UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp Because it's a standard, even though I don't use followers.  The whim might take me someday, after all.
UFO - Dragonborn AddOn.esp
HearthfireMoveKidsfix.esp Patch for Vilja
Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp Because you can only sit in the cart hearing about mead with juniper berries for so long.
dD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Realistic.esp Less dramatic forces
SkyRe_Races.esp
ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp More prettification

Gods, though, if Nexus Mod Manager didn't let you auto-export to the clipboard...

[Vorthon]

Kinda contemplating maybe eventually getting Skyrim for PC. The deciding factor is: Are there any mods that add in the other varieties of khajiit mentioned in the lore.

[Putnam]

Unfortunately no.

There's one for Oblivion that adds Ohmes and Ohmes-Raht, IIRC Race Balancing Project by bg2408.

[Ultimuh]

Unfortunately no.

There's one for Oblivion that adds Ohmes and Ohmes-Raht, IIRC Race Balancing Project by bg2408.

I am pretty sure there are a few on the Nexus.

[Reudh]

Hmm, lemme see. A lot of mods I have are disabled.
