Usually the graphics card is at 700MB/800MB usage, but mainly my game is CPU bound. All of this was performed on an i7-2630qm (quad dual hyperthread 2Ghz), a GTX 560m (1.5GB), and 8GB 1333hz RAM. With all of these ambitious mods installed, the game will push a modern PC hard. Although I have very basic knowledge of the TESconstruction set/TES4Gecko/scripting in general, I have completed this without a PhD in electrical computer quantum engineering(although it would help). Most of these mods are “overhauls” that add a great deal of depth, thanks to the wondrous modding community behind games. This is because the game engine (gamebryo) was mainly optimized for singlecore/dual core. Also, performance with this many different mods will be lower than you expect.

This requires a lot of time, roughly 3-4hours(perhaps double that if you read the readmes ), but I would highly recommend the investment of time, as these mods listed/featured in this guide are excellent and well worth the effort. This guide assumes that you are proficient with computers. Difficulty: Hard (should be no problem for most of you though, right?) Screen shots + video on second page of thread!
