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.

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
