So I flattened my Skyrim install completely. Deleted all save games, config files, and reinstalled from scratch, this time with Mod Organizer. It took me an hour, but I got SKSE, Wrye Bash, BOSS, ENBoost, Automatic Variants Skyproc and all my mods configured and working with ZERO issues. This app is loving amazing!

Duel Combat Realism changes practically nothing, just a few variables. If you remove it you probably won't have any problems, although it probably doesn't hurt to make a clean save. Warzones may be a bit more difficult because of just how much poo poo it adds, but it's all outside in the overworld, so if you're inside while deactivating it you're probably on the safe side. It's worth trying, at least.

Warzones is definitely script-heavy, so uninstalling that will undoubtedly ruin the save file. Immersive Patrols is better anyway.

Yeah I'm just not gonna touch anything that has to do with SkyProc. It breaks every other time I run the patchers. Here's three mods that go together nearly perfectly. One of my biggest issues with Skyrim is how movement and combat feels too floaty. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6002/ This mod gives you first person perspective from the third person model. You can see your feet and your head bobs when you run! http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33461/ This mod has people's body parts react when you hit them in combat. Punch a guy in the face, his head twists a bit. Hit a dude's shield, his shield will pull in the direction of your hit. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12615/ And this mod adds locational damage, so punching a guy in the face will not only feel satisfying, but can do special damage. The only flaw with this setup is the first mod. Though it feels good and makes movement feel organic, it takes away your ability to aim well with melee weapons, and your bow doesn't move in first person (though you can still aim with the cross hair). If someone could mod in vertical axis body and head movement for third person, this would be my holy trinity of must have mods. Average Bear fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Sep 20, 2013 |

For those that have removed script heavy mods and are worried about save game issues, always run this command in the console: "clearinvalidregistrations" This was introduced in Skse a few version back and purges your save/game of any running scripts whose respective mods have been removed. It may help alleveiate future save game bloat and instability.

Twincityhacker posted:I feel your pain. I made sure to back up my mod folder so I could remember what I installed. It's still taking me some time to resurrect my install. But I've also been using this time to trim down some of the duplications. I keep backups of the mod folder AND a folder full of all the still-packaged mods. I've had to give my installs the scorched earth treatment way too many times to solve various issues and get everything where I want it to be, not doing that ever again.

I installed MO to a different, non Program Files directory. Now it won't even give me the error message. Clicking download with NMM just seems to refresh the page. e: Got it to at least give me the QLocalSocket Error gently caress me, NMM doesn't work either.

SkyProc is great, is what I'm saying, and it allows for mods that would otherwise be really tedious to install and even more a pita for the author to maintain. If MO is having problems with it, that's a problem with MO.

I know everyone likes to evangelize MO around here, but even based on this thread alone it seems to cause more problems than it solves. Once you take the effort to learn MO, you'll never want to use anything else again ever. Here's a CK question: I want to make an NPC use the animation "NocturnalRisingPool_Idle05.hkx". I cannot for the goddamn life of me figure out how to make them do it. I've tried making a custom Idle Marker, I've tried linking them to the actual Nocturnal Marker (which causes them to disappear the second they activate it) and I've tried making custom AI packages. I cannot get them to do this animation.

DUEL and Deadly Combat probably can't simply be removed from your folder and call everything dandy. They both add scripts to the game and use quests/"cloaks" to trigger the scripts. Ideally these quests/cloaks/etc. need to be stopped/removed, game saved, then delete the mod from your installation. I believe Deadly Combat has an MCM option to do this for you.Kilroy posted:I used a few mods that incorporate SkyProc and I've never had any problems. I don't use Mod Organizer though. I know everyone likes to evangelize MO around here, but even based on this thread alone it seems to cause more problems than it solves. In general the pro/anti MO thing comes up here way too much. Guys, it's a powerful enough and unique enough tool that it should be given a shot by anyone who heavily mods their game. Try it, use it if you like it, otherwise don't. It IS a power user tool, though. As for those claiming any long standing serious bugs or issues with the program, make sure it was reported on the Bug Tracker on the Mod Organizer page. This program was developed by a single guy. That has to be respected. He spends a lot of time and effort resolving even the most minor of bugs, as evidenced on the tracker. We also have to realize that he can't fix bugs he isn't aware of. Help him out.

So I haven't updated Skyrim since February missing the last big official upgrade I think. I was wondering if updating the game and updating my list of mods, adding the DLC and any additional required patches would make my current saves unplayable. I suspect it will but thought I'd ask as it's a relatively small list of mods. Skyrim.esm Update.esm ASAP.esp Complete Crafting Overhaul.esp DynamicMerchants.esp Rayg_ShutUpMirmulnir.esp SkyUI.esp Smithing Perks Overhaul - Balanced.esp Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Weapons and Armor Fixes - Hacks.esp Weapons and Armor Fixes.esp RiversideLodge.esp UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp

What's a good way to increase the amount of dragon encounters and/or make them more interesting? I just realized that I've been playing for a few hours again but haven't actually seen a random dragon since the watchtower quest. I'm not really looking for anything to make them HARDCORE DIFFUCULT!!!, just a few more of them. I'd try ASIS, but I'm not sure how nice it'll play with all the mods I'm running.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3829/ Deadly Dragons is probably what you're looking for. I haven't used it since it got updated to use SkyUI's MCM menu, but the different customization options should let you increase the spawn timer and keep the difficulty manageable.
