Dude, you sound so nervous. Lighten up. You actually did a very good job showing/explaining the changes. I look forward to seeing the next videos.

[fatalmaverick]

@InitialD91 thank you that actually means a lot :)

Would you mind awfully doing a shorter "overview" shot of the Riften pack, just without the post processing? For me personally, your settings are horribly over-saturated, but I'd still very much like to see how the improved textures look with the vanilla lighting and colour settings.

Thanks for the vids though, very handy for seeing what exactly the game will end up like after installing all the smaller mods that STEP recommends.

@sosolidshoe2 not at all, ill get around to it as soon as I can. Thanks for the feedback
