Recommended mods?

[Sepul]

I finally decided to give this game a try and I am having a blast.
I played a lot of vanila Skyrim back in the day, but for some reason I never got into modding (yeah, I know I am missing a lot). So I am thinking in modding this game. I know no mod is essential as the game is great as it is, but I am looking for something that can enhance the experience without changing the core mechanics of the game or the story. I am looking, first and foremost, for more immersion. I suppose I am thinking mostly on graphical improvements, body and texture replacements, that kind of stuff, but any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks!

iHUD is the only mod i play Enderal with. The game already uses a lot of texture replacements (compared to Skyrim) and new models, and i like the gameplay as it is.
iHUD makes the game much more immersive though.

I would suggest that you go mod Skyrim instead. This is game is already a mod of Skyrim and has default compatibility issues with others mods.

It makes very little sense to begin your modding experience modding a mod. There's a significant lack of support as well.

I use this mods and they re working fine together, but you have to also donwload SKSE launcher and launch the game with that launcher..

And also I changed in EnderalPrefs.ini bDoDepthOfField=1 to bDoDepthOfField=0
thanks to that I have not all that blurry textures on all object a little bit far away from me.. - it hurts eyes really after some time.. turn it off helped a lot..

Maybe this mod could be interesting for you too : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36728/?



+ there are also some combat mods - google for it I dont know them.

1 example : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/104776

I also heard about mod that lets you jump during sprinting, could be cool too.

Better waterspouts i guess (workshop)... immerse yourself in frog puke

Thank you very much for your advice. I will take a look, and also I may go back to Skyrim and mod it to see what I was missing all these years.

I remember when I started to use mods in games, Skyrim was propably my 1st game - I mean like heavy moded game..
I used around 120 mods :) And it was worth it.
Skyrim is the easiest to mod imo, it was nice start how to mod and dont mod games :)

However, note that this is not Skyrim. Most mods there don't work here without modification. But as said, the ones most needed are already installed.

You can just copy super duper hd texture mods from your skyrim folder. I'd say 95% of them worked fine for me.

BEWARE modding! Research basic modding guides and sticky post on skyrim forums here (LE edition!) before goin into it!
Check Enderal compatibilty with mods and already installed mods here:

Dont allow steam to update the game! When u have mods installed and steam updates it say good bye to ur modsetup and u char and start from scratch - reinstallling the game, mods AND a new char!
Set the game to only update on launch and when it wants to update, only launch in offline mode! THANKS FOR THAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ VALVE, LET US BLOCK UPDATES AGAIN!!!

Afaik everything retexture-landscape and environment wise taken from Skyrim mods should not work out of the box without adjusting it to Enderal. (If anyone knows otherwise please let me know, i would love to have better textures)

How? Afaik they shouldnt work at all since the internal path to the textures is different in Enderal? No? I forgot where i read that

I have used several mods that work for me using Mod Organizer to launch them. I don't have any work shop mods.

Mods which came from Nexus Enderal
House at the marketplace - Redone
Left Hand Rings
Noble quarter Player home redone
Enderal Log Cabin EV
Enderal Tracking Tool
Phasmalist Overhaul
Yero's Cave Full
Better Wandering Mage Armor
The Forbidden Arts
Enderal some CBBE conversions ... for which you need Skyrim CBBE

Nexus Skyrim Mods that I use in Enderal
CBBE
Bodyslide and outfit studio
Fair skin complexion
Quick light
Face light
Jaxonz Positioner

Of course anyone who just downloads mods and adds them to their game
without reading ALL requirements and ALL descriptions is looking to just wreck their game.
For me all these mods work as intended in the load order that I have.

They will work for the Skyrim textures used in Enderal which are mostly the low res ones.

The internal path is the same one. There is no reason to change every single texture path for the Skyrim ones.

Of course there are a lot of new textures.

Ah ok thx for clearing that up
Any suggestions for texture packs that work well (im fine with 2k resolution)?

Most enderal armors are from skyrim, and they look low res af. You can use modded, more higher poly models + crisp textures from some skyrim mods (that alter base game armor) of your choice. That's what i did first. Also, civilian overalls should be replaced too. Try "Rustic Clothing" mod.

[RunForRest]

No i mean landscape and environment textures.
I have some armor replacements running already, no issues there.
I even managed to get HDT physics to work for male hair, i just wish there would be more male clothes with hdt physics. For female characters theres unlimited choice
