@ Debra If you have the Steam Version, your game should be updated automatically. At least that the way I've read and been told that Steam versions of games work. If your game is version 1.4.12 or 1.4.21 you should be patched up already. In other news, the Creation Kit should be released Tuesday as pr. this tweet from Pete Hines. source: https://twitter.com/#!/DCDeacon/status/165536529895272449 For our Skyrim PC fans, the Creation Kit is on track for release on Tuesday. And, we also have a special surprise with it. #whatcoulditbe!? Edit: As for settings, there should be an option to restore defaults. Also under video or game options look under the camera options or camera controls.

Debra, when the icon is chosen it has an "x" through it, but I was confused too. And as Karsten says, unless you chose to disable upadates in Steam, your game should have all patches. Also, as Karsten says, there is a Restore to Default at the bottom of the Settings screen.  Thanks Karsten for all your help.

Karsten, I don't see the camera settings anywhere either under gameplay, video or audio (I scrolled down the lists all the way to the bottom). Where are they located? Would adjusting them help me with my mouse being hypersensitive? I've moved the slider on lookspeed all the way to the right but that hasn't done it. I've disabled the Xbox controller and downloaded the UI mod. The mouse moves so quickly that it's very disorienting and it makes me nauseated and gave me a migraine. Would buying the Xbox controller for PC solve the problem? I'd really like to have fun with this game but so far no joy due to the mouse issue. L4L thanks for the icon answer. I feel so dumb

Spouses? Did someone say spouses? I'm looking forward to an improved Balimund. I think I will have to try the creation kit too!

Annie--I was thinking the same thing yesterday. If only the man would take a bath and change his clothes! I like him alot (don't worry, won't steal him from you-lol) but God love him he needs to get busy with the personal grooming. Hope the Creation Kit isn't hard to learn because I think AnneG is right---we're going to have our own little modding community soon! Tracy

I can't wait! Thankfully I have a half day at work on Tuesday. If they release it at midday, I'll be getting home just in time. Thanks to a new hair mod up on Nexus, Annick is sporting a lovely new do. And I don't why she's suddenly looking so busty in this particular pic. Must be the shirt.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/cira1/anni1.jpg

Debra, no feeling dumb about questions. It was far from clear to me too. You'd be surprised at the things eldest son had to show me at first.......  I'm glad you were able to get it set to your liking. I'm itching to get back into it, but so far we are just OBE'd all the time. Mod on ladies

I took a couple days off and came back to read all the comments. Thanks everyone about your advice! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who reloads.
I don't know anything at all about modding. What is the creation kit and how do we get it?

Tracy, she's got to be doing some kind of exercise. Or maybe it's all that dagger swinging. *lol*
JeanK, the creation kit is the program Bethesda used to make the game with. They take some features out of it, but they make it available to pc users in order for you to make changes to the game. You can make all sorts of changes with it. You can make new companions, make new quests, add or delete things, etc. I'm big on making player homes and I also change all the animals. I make them not attack me since I hate killing them. You can do all sorts of things with it. They're releasing it tomorrow and it'll be available through Steam. I think you download it from the Tools section on there.

I can't wait for the creation kit. I had a lot of fun messing around with Dragon Age and Oblivion. I can't wait to make dragons more dangerous.
I used to play adventure games, then I took an arrow to the knee.

I always wanted to try my hand at modding Dragon Age but never got around to it. How does its editor compare the Construction Set, Smoosh?

The Dragon Age editor is good for changing around dialogue, but the interface is annoying for editing content. I also could never get the DA editor running for the Expansion Pack, and so my mods always end up half-finished.
I also read that you change the animals :P I want to try and make them like domesticated dogs. How awesome would it be to have a sabre cat follower?

Hmmm, I'll probably try my hand at it one of these days but I won't get my hopes up then. Oh well, I'll have my hands full with modding Skyrim for a while anyway. *lol* Pretty awesome, indeed. Take a look at this tutorial here. It's by a modder named Maigrets who has made lots of animal follower mods. I don't know how much different the Creation Kit will be from the CS but it should get you started in the right direction anyway. http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/article/50-my-simple-creature-companion-tutorial/

The Creation Kit and the High Resolution texture pack has been released today. Via a thread on the rphwatch.com you can learn how to get them both. http://www.rpgwatch.com/?rwsiteid=1#18941And the Beth Blog also has some nice info: Best of all, access to the Skyrim Workshop and Creation Kit is free for anybody with a Steam account and a copy of Skyrim.
With the Skyrim Workshop, finding and installing your favorite mods is easier than ever before. Mod-makers will also enjoy a streamlined process for uploading mods directly to Steam.
Finding and Installing Mods
Ready to begin a whole new adventure? Finding mods for Skyrim is as simple as visiting the Skyrim Workshop in the Steam Community. Here you’re able to browse the most popular, newest or highest-rated mods of all time, as well as searching for specific content via tags such as “Armor”, “Quests”, “Dungeons”, and more.
Once you have found a mod you’d like to play, click the “Subscribe” button. Be sure to check the mod description for any special instructions, such as which NPC starts a quest, or how to acquire new items. The next time you play Skyrim, the launcher will automatically install the latest version of any subscribed mods and configure Skyrim to run them. source: http://www.bethblog.com/2012/02/07/skyrim-just-got-even-bigger/

Hi Skyrimmers! Just bought this game and loaded it yesterday. I haven't ever used Steam before and wonder why you even need it. I had no idea this was an online game. L4L, it's not the same as WoW, right? We can't play together or chat while in game, can we? Why do so many people dislike Steam? Sorry for all the dumb questions. Thanks everybody! Andrea

Hi ya Andrea I'm glad you found us. We can't play toghether online but we can chat if we are both playing at the same time by setting up the chat option. Son is not up at the moment, but I'll ask for specific instructions when he is. I'm sure folks dislike Steam for many reasons. Some don't like to be required to be online when playing a stand-alone game. Others don't have enough "net time" to be able to afford to be online to play...for instance those with download limits. I have not had a problem with them though. Let me know your toon's name and I'll add you...but as you know from WoW, I'm not playing anything at the moment.

Thank you L4L. I know you've not been feeling 100% and you're very busy right now. I have missed you, and wanted something new to enjoy. Hope things get better soon for you and soot. Andrea My Nord's name is Zandrea (LOL)

They will Andrea, they will.... I will add Zandrea to my friend's list. It's been so long since I played Skyrim, I don't remember my toon's name. But I'll check in a bit....
