Tomb Raider Reboot - Surprised so far

Skyrim - I love mods

 

I just started a new game of Skyrim this past weekend.  That game just sucks me back in.  What mods are you playing?

The"major" mods I'm playing with this time through are:

* SIS - Skyrim Immersion Set - "

  A great collection of game enhancements that improve immersion and realism - timescale = 8, slower leveling progression, traps are deadlier, dragons spawn 3x slower, merchants have more gold, slower dungeon respawn times, fall dmg = 2x vanilla, higher crime bounties, lower crime range, droppable Barenziah stones, followers will get out of your way more, lockpicks and gold have weight, No NPC greetings, carriages cost more, improved stealth.

 

* Civil War Overhaul

 

* Deadly Combat

 

Not sure how I feel about the slow leveling of SIS.  I'm about 90% through the main storyline and only level 7... but Skyrim kind of falls apart after level 20 or so because the difficulty gets all wonky.  Slow level progression might be a good thing since the "sweet spot" for almost all major quests (Main storyline, Dawnguard, Dragonborn) is between level 10 and 20.

What mods are you playing?

Deadly Combat with DW Plugin, Empowered Magic, Deadly Dragons. 

Then I got loads of graphical mods, such as Enhanced Distant Details and LOD's, HD Texture Packs. Sound mods to improve the atmosphere, Clanking armor and Sounds Of Skyrim to name a few. Immersion mods such as foot prints, cloaks, weapons and armor, Convenient Horses, Skyrim Immersive Creatures. 

I'm a big fan of being able to easily remove a plugin without loosing too much aka modularity.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (although keeps crashing recently!)

Had a go with my old RCT2, I couldn't get on with it after playing 3.  I might revisit at some point but I know it'll annoy me because of the limitations.

 

Just started Zoo Tycoon 2 too.  I enjoyed 1, tried 2 before but didn't really get on with it so trying again.

    • Feels like Hitman in Bond skin. But overall a great game! 👍
    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
