duggimon posted: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. It's never possible to be absolutely sure until you try, but Skyrim saves are often surprisingly tolerant of updating and adding. Give it a shot! I don't see anything too bitterly jealous in your current modlist.

Does anybody use Duke Patrick's Combat mod? I've been thinking about trying it but I'm worried about script delay and mod compatibility.

futile posted:Come on now. You can't make sweeping judgements about how well the program is doing for people in general based on the posts you see here. It's a drat troubleshooting thread. Of course we're going to see problems. How many of us use mod organizer without issue and love it? Who knows. Anyway, why the gently caress go to the trouble of replacing a DLL? Although I'm sure it will take them 10 releases to do it right, NMM's plan from 0.50 is superior to the way MO isolates mods. So why didn't MO just do that in the first place? The Windows functionality they are making use of has been around for 7-8 years now (since Windows Vista).

I'm running 8gb of RAM and 2gb of VRAM and for the first time i actually ran out of memory playing skyrim, i was using serious hd retexture and Realvision ENB with enbhost and ugrids 7. Didn't know it was even possible to run out of memory with 8gb, but i'm running it alright now with ugrids 5 and realvision performance enb, gotta say it's the best looking ENB i've used so far.

Kilroy posted:functionally there is no difference on that between MO and NMM. Does NMM keep a spare copy of overwritten files in case I want to change the order they were installed? The main reason I switched over to MO was because of how it handles loose file conflicts. I was having conflicting file issues when installing later mods that resulted in the game crashing because a mod was expecting it's version of a file to be there or things looking messed up because the wrong texture being overwritten. I also like being able to use MO to disable loose files from mods. Cerevisiae fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Sep 21, 2013 |

So, I was in Ivarstead getting ready to climb up to High Hrotghar, which included a few swigs of wine, and because of Realistic Needs and Diseases, I was a little dizzy. Some dude told me that it was a long way down if I fell, but I scoffed at him. And then I randomly tripped on the first fifty steps, rolled down the mountain and died from the fall.

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. At what point on the main quest are you? Dragon attacks pick up after you head out with Delphine for the first time. Also, is there any mod/configuration to make the clock show the 24-hour format, instead of the AM/PM one, and something to make quest items droppable?

Have you tried SMCO or Texture Optimizer? I used Texture Optimizer regularly when I was playing Skyrim; it helped reduce VRAM usage. I recommend the Medium setting with Resize enabled and set to "if >2048" if you just want to test it.

WYA posted:Is Skyrim HD good if I already have the HD textures DLC? Dude, AMB is flat out the best armor/weapon retexture series out there. Ignore the name, and get them. Speaking of which, Cabal's next release is going to be the Ancient Nord/Nord Hero items, and to be frank, I absolutely cannot wait for them. They are by far my favorite weapons simply because of the aesthetic, which totally fits the game's fantasy setting.

So at some point, I picked up an Amulet of Talos off a corpse, and for some reason it's flagged as Quest-related. As a result, I can't build a Talos shrine at any of my houses. Is there a way to fix this?

SPERG requires the Skyrim -Community- Uncapper which is a SKSE plugin that has it's own .ini file. The bit you quoted is part of SPERG's custom preset for the uncapper's .ini.

If you either delete a mod from MO's mod directory, or disable it in MO's list of installed mods, it will be completely gone from MO's virtual Data folder.

Anyone tried Falskaar? It sounds like a pretty huge chunk of content that could be fun.

# ? Sep 22, 2013 02:02 |

I found Falskaar pretty enjoyable so far. There's a lot of content there, with voice acting ranging from really rather good to ok, nothing that's terrible enough to stick out sorely. Honestly, there's enough that even if you find parts you dislike, you'll still find some gems that are enjoyable. It's hard to find mods of that quality with as large a scope, so if you're at all interested I'd say give it a shot.

# ? Sep 22, 2013 02:27 |

It's very close to vanilla Skyrim in tone and quality but the content is a bit sparse for the map size. It has one of the longest unending dungeons ever. In the middle of it, the thought hit me that the scariest thing would be a friendly voice out of nowhere going "How's it going?" The mod could have used that kind of imagination. Instead t was "Here's more drauger, isn't this epic?" If you are going to do something on this scale, bring some variety. Instead the mod is just more and more and more of vanilla Skyrim. There are a good number of bugs which is hilarious because the Mod creator announced loudly that there wouldn't be any bugs to find. I did like some of the discussion sequences mainly because I hadn't see it done that way before. It was fun to kick around.

It broke as soon I installed the new SPERG version In my MO setup it reads SPERG's ini from within the SPERG folder in MO and not from the SKSE one in Skyrims data folder where the dll is. I found this out the hard way when I spent a while trying to work out why it wasn't applying the skill uncaps I added to it but was applying the SPERG settings. Also the perk lines now read 2=1 3=0.5 that means you get a perk every even number level up.

If you don't like something, then you don't like something. That's cool, everyone has their opinions. 2. You're having these particular troubles XYZ actually using MO, but they can maybe be resolved if you spend more time learning MO - you might just need more practice to get it to do what you want. And you're snipping out the context and (mis-)combining the two statements as if they were a single statement: 1. If you don't like something, specifically MO, it's because you need to spend more time learning MO. ... Which I don't think was actually what the person was saying.

Your whole spiel about how tools have to be configured to use Mod Organizer is completely false and shows a clear lack of understanding about how Mod Organizer actually works. Which is understandable because there isn't a lot of reason people should know about the underlying mechanics, but those who don't understand it usually don't go around trying to sound like they do. So, for your situation based around your post, it is exactly a situation of if you don't like it then don't use it.

It just indicates MO could probably use some better documentation. Yeah this is pretty much me! I figure when MO is as easy for me to use as NMM or if I need to do a fresh install, I'll make the switch, but for now I've got everything working just fine through NMM. Just doesn't seem worth the effort to change over and at best get the same results I have now while potentially having things stop working correctly going by what's been said in this thread.
