Mod Detectives Options

[Acadian]

The purpose of this thread is to help folks find Skyrim mods. Inquiries can fit into several categories, such as:

-An idea that you think would be good for a mod – is there such mod already out there?

- A known mod that you are considering – anyone here at chorrol used it and had good/bad luck with it?

- Trying to pick from among several mods that do sort of the same thing. Which one is best – or at least what are some experience-based considerations.

Naturally, I currently have something in mind, so here goes:

I very much miss my ‘Innocent’ voice set that Buffy uses in Oblivion. It used triggers and comments inspired by the Baldur’s Gate series. I recall that SubRosa used the same mod only with differing voice sets such as Imoen or Viconia. Anyway, I’m looking for something similar for Skyrim. I know that battle taunts are part of it and that's okay, but I’m actually more interested in non-fighting comments. I seem to recall Grits mentioning using Player Voicesets. The support and level of endorsement for the mod on Nexus seem good. Before I try it, any comments on this mod or ideas for one that might suit my purposes better?

I need some help with ENB. I need this mod to get WARZONES? working, and in general it seems a lot of mods require ENB. Problem is, which version should I choose?

Here is the ENB page I found. Well, one of them, anyways. Info is so confusing to navigate with this mod.

At the bottom of the page it says this....

Version 0.088 is the first version released for the game, include just bugs and performance fixes of the game.

Version 0.102 Tatsudoshi is New Year 2012 release, the same as previous versions, it use fake "ENB" video adapter to fix game bugs like transparent water and invisible fire (not actual now, but users of Radeon 2xxx/3xxx still have these issues). Not recommended, because it's very slow.

Version 0.103 Injector first version with special ENBInjector tool which allow to run mod while some incompatible software used (Afterburner, XFire, etc) or for Optimus laptops. Not recommended, because it's very slow.

Version 0.108 TrueHDR is very fast and simplified without most effects.

Version 0.119 last non deffered which completely support hardware antialiasing (msaa), but at cost of performance and quality. Latest versions support antialiasing, but some effects do not work.

Version 0.132 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets.

Version 0.168 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets.

Version 12.12.12 is performance optimized, but it's very old.

Version 13.7.13 is the last which optimized for old videocards of DirectX10 generation like GeForce
8xxx/9xxx/2xx and Radeon 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx, so each version after that developed corresponding to modern DX11 generation of videocards which have much faster arithmetics. Some effects may run slower for old cards, but faster for new. Sorry, but i can't make two versions, so after purchasing modern videocard everything changed accordingly.

Version 0.192 and newer include ENBoost patch (available for some other games too) which reduce memry usage of the game and as result fewer CTDs (crashes) and you may install much more modifications.
Version 0.226 support helper plugin which allow to use weather system and time without problems with game scripting.

Hardware antialiasing (msaa) supported in versions 0.119 and lower for all effects, all other version use deffered rendering which do not support aa. But in latest mods (starting from v0.180 if i remember, inclufing v13.7.13) you may enable antialiasing, many effects will turn off automatically then, but in general colors will be the same.

Presets are compatible with other versions of the mod with minor changes. For example 0.088-0.119 versions may use the same preset, 0.119-0.132 too, 0.132-0.168, etc.

v0.265
v0.262
v0.236
v0.221
v13.7.13
v0.168
v0.132
v121212
v0.119
v0.117 beta
v0.108 TrueHDR
v0.103 Injector
v0.102 Tatsudoshi

And as you can see, there are 13 different versions listed at the bottom of the page. So which one do I use? Any ideas? ... WARZONES does not help much, it merely says 'this mod requires ENB' but it does not say which version we're supposed to use.
