[SOLVED] I will pay you $20 to set up modded skyrim for me (lemmy.world)

I'm genuinely this desperate. I'm a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I've just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I'm not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.

I'll PayPal the money, it's not much but it's literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I'm just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.

Wow. I'm doing the same thing right now. I bought and installed Skyrim for the first time a few days ago. Then I thought, if I'm going to play it, it should be with all the graphics mods. Which I haven't figured out so I haven't played.

Honestly, just play the game. You don't need mods. If you really like the game, you can revisit mods later.

That's usually what I do. First play through on a game I'll do without/minimal mods. After that though... game on! My Skyrim has 141 mods now and is hardly the same game anymore.

Any chance you'd be willing to zip up your intall and send it my way?

I'm running most of the mods through Mod Organizer 2 on Skyrim Anniversary Edition on an old assed pc, so I don't think it would work for you without a lot of effort and tinkering. it took me a lot of swearing and hair pulling to get it to work right on mine lol!

I don't want mods to change the game. I only want mods to update the graphics.

It's not like I'll play it through again even if it's great. I'm 15 years behind on games.

My advice remains exactly the same. Graphics mods are mods. Just play the game without mods. It's still a good game.

It's worth plying without mods if you wanna save the headache, but I've been playing it for 9 years now so something new would be nice.
