# Description *Dragons are returning, civil war is raging, a vampire clan is trying to blot out the sun, daedric princes are plotting against man and mer, bandits are taking over every single unguarded place... Skyrim could use a little overhaul to appear as grim as it is regarding these events.* *** # Contents **WARNING**: contains gore and violence. ## What this collection does: - Completely changes game and UI musics and sounds - Enhances most textures - Greatly enhances lightning thanks to ENB (check pictures) - Adds some immersion - Adds structures around major cities and alongside roads - Adds a few (lore-friendly) creatures - Adds blood, gore and possibly dismemberment And more, check the modlist for full content. ## What this collection **DOES NOT** do: - Adds any non lore-friendly content - Edits/adds gameplay mechanics (apart from dismemberment) - Adds new quests - Adds new locations - Improves dungeons/cities - Adds other adult content *** # Important informations \- This collection requires SKSE64, if you have no idea what this is watch the video in the following collapsible section.

*** # "The collection is not working!" 1. Try reinstalling it. 2. Make sure the mods' versions are compatible with your game's version. 3. Make sure there are no incompatibilities with other mods you have installed. 4. Check your game's file integrity. If you still can't make the collection work, I probably can't help you. You can leave a comment but I don't check them everyday. *** # "This collection should include \[...] mod" Okay then, feel free to post a comment or contact me if you have a suggestion for a mod you think could fit here. *** # Regarding optional mods "Protect your People": install if you don't want NPCs to die unexpectedly. Sadly, this prevents you from sending Nazeem to Coldharbour. "The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog": this is not exactly lore-friendly but not immersion-breaking, install it if you want it anyway. "Killable children": adds realism, but not everyone might like it. The choice is up to you. "Lawbringer": install if you want to reclaim some dungeons and places from bandits. *** # Specs My computer managed to run at 55~60 fps with the following: - GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (8GB VRAM) - RAM : 16 GB - CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz
