What is a good way to level up the Smithing skill? My current method is crafting Dwarven Bows but was wondering if there was something more efficient.

Buy a lot of leather than make strips out of them. Smith gauntlets (i think) or whatever takes the least resources to smith. Cost effective and you should have a high level smithing skill in an hour. Do it in the city that has the werewolf clan (don remember names anymore lol).

I bit the bullet and installed Open Cities and a few other mods by Arthmoor (signs, tree in Whiterun). My test run with a quick new character verified Open Cities worked with a custom uGrids of 7, which I've run for over a year without issues. There's a bit of a loading hitch as the detailed city data is loaded (versus the low-content profile that usually existed), but it's liveable. Was awesome swinging open the doors and marching in without a loading screen. Alas all the houses/buildings still have loading screens. Oh well.
Made a new breton to start a serious game; hope to post a screenshot of her this evening. Still playing GW2 but my friends are east coast so after 7pm or so they log off so I have time to play Skyrim. In this case time zones are in my favor.

I use Climates of Tamriel, my own edited imagespaces, and an older version of the FX Injector tool I've tweaked. No ENB for me because what I use is sufficient to my eyes.
For textures I use Bethesda's hi-res texture DLC, the unofficial patch for said DLC, and a few custom textures provided by SMIM, Better looking Snow, etc. I make it all behave by using TESVEdit, which is probably an advanced form of mod management compared to say, BOSS, but it works for me and gives me hours of stability. I like knowing what mods are changing what, so if there's a problem I know where to go to fix it.
That certainly is.... an impressive picture.Endurium wrote...
Well here's my breton Rana, starting the "escape with Hadvar" part of the beginning. I stood her in front of a candelabra so the light and camera would get me a facial closeup.
At first I thought this was a redguard ...brown skin, brown eyes, well nice pic.Endurium wrote...

It's a Breton with the darkest skin tone, probably a bit different than vanilla due to using CBBE with the No More Ugly Bronze Shine mod, and my FX Injector/imagespace mods. (No ENB) Redguards are much darker in my game, basically African, but beautiful

With smithing, I've just decided to bite the bullet later on and pay Eorland Gray-mane to train me from 75-90. But I do get to 75 the traditional "long way", Crafting Dwarf bows, Jewelery, and bracers of different material (mainly because armor pieces are a lot easier to mass-enchant than weapons are, when the time comes to work on increasing your enchanting skill)

Don't you have to be a mangy werewolf for him to train you?
Leather armor/helmets go a long way to getting smithing scores up to about 60 or so. All you have to do is wonder the plains of Whiterun for raw materials.
Can also play nice, become a werewolf once, then seek the cure while taking care of another matter. Everyone's happy.Elhanan wrote...

Nope; simply have to join the Companions. You can avoid the Circle initiation if you wish.

"different equipment in different slots"?
You set up a group of items, say an armor set and a weapon or something like that in one of those lots you get it hotkeyed, just press that key and you equip everything in that slot. Simple, and makes more use of the keyboard.

Now that sounds useful. I rarely, if ever, change out armor sets, since my goal is always to max armor rating and dual enchant everything to a personal pre-set for augments; BUT swapping out weapon sets is exactly what my Dova could use, as I do that often, and the favorite menu is a terrible mechanic for a Dova that changes on the fly. I do use rings and necklaces to specifically augment certain activities as well, so does the quick slot let you equip/unequip rings and necklaces along with weapons?
If so...I'm all in.

Is the Elven (left) side of the smithing tree all that bad? I am sick of all the Daedric hype, so I am excited to be crafting Dragonbone stuff first. I am quite sure, however that I will make some Daedric stuff with my other non-orc character.
