The main quest is just there to give you the full Unrelenting Force shout and Dragonrend (because gently caress dragons that just hover and breathe on you. God drat campers).

Trip report for I Cant Believe Its Not An ENB? I haven't messed with any of the settings but with just the defaults it looks really cool. I'll post some screenshots when I get a chance. In short, this is a great way to get a better look without having to mess with a bunch of stuff. Great for lazy people. I haven't noticed any performance hits either.

Quick question about SPERG - When a perk describes an effect to all weapons, does that apply to literally ALL weapons, or just within that perk tree? For example my character is primarily bow/one-handed, but there's a perk in the two-handed tree - "Standing power attacks with warhammers have a 30% chance to daze the target. Attacks with all weapons ignore 50% of armor." The first part doesn't matter because I can't see myself ever using warhammers or other two-handed weapons with this character, but if that second part means my arrows, daggers, and swords will also ignore 50% of armor that's pretty great. I just don't want to pick the perk if that 50% just applies to other two-handed weapons, though, and waste a perk point.

I started out with this, but it was too saturated for my taste so I ended up tweaking it a bit; I disabled one of the Enhanced Lights and FX modules (ELFXEnhancer.esp) because it was making dungeons kind of unplayable; I know the vanilla dungeons are a tad too bright, but it was really annoying bumping into enemies with a stealth character because I couldn't see them and carrying a torch looks pretty but, again, screws with any attempt at stealth. I ended up activating the "hazardous dungeons" setting in Climates of Tamriel which took them to a moody but still navigable darkness, used Nights Level 2 from the same, and I used this SweetFX setting instead of the one that came in there, and I'm really liking the results.

The main quest line is worth playing up to but not necessarily including the final leg where you travel to Sovngarde to kill Alduin. Actually completing the main quest is kind of a let down, but all the rewards you receive prior to the final battle are totally worth the effort. I sort of steamrolled through the main quest on my very first play through, but on subsequent characters I tend to rush through the first batch to get Unrelenting Force fully unlocked, then I only do those quests if I happen to be in the right area. I forget – is there a mod that lets you skip the unlocking stages for Unrelenting Force? I feel like I've asked this before and that the answer might have been, "no, just noclip through it," but I can't recall.

For anyone using my weapon style add-on for SPERG, I need to make it so Purse Snatcher and Celerity don't make the player insanely fast. So my solution is to reduce both perks' speed increases to 15%, adding an additional effect to Purse Snatcher that increases your pickpocket chance by 50% when running or sprinting (25% base, and 25% to negate the fact that you're not hidden, though this might need be lowered), and maybe a 5% or 10% increase in weapon speed or armor class for Celerity. Alternatively, I could just make them not stack at all and leave them intact, although I'd like them to not be mutually exclusive. I'd just like to know what those using it think. My main concern is that, having never really played a thief in Skyrim, I'm not sure how well this will scale at higher levels. I know that pickpocketing caps out at 90 percent, so this would be of limited utility later on. Can you still achieve 90% pickpocket in Vanilla while running past someone while not hidden? It would be great for role-playing purposes, especially early on. Alasyre fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Just a quick question - has anyone comae across this before with Live Another Life? If I pick any start remotely connected to a city, using the bed just sets me back in the prison cell. With Tullius, Ulfric, Hadvar and Ralof, who immediately go at each other  . I've been removing recent mods but it doesn't seem to help.

Do those mods include memory-heavy stuff like texture replacers? You could be bumping your head against the 2GB limit. Try running Process Explorer in the background while you play and see what the final memory usage reads out as when you do crash.

There are however common causes of CTDs you could investigate. scamtank above mentioned one. Mods that add more NPCs and enemies can also cause what you're describing.

If you are having random CTD, get ENBoost. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38649/ The 2GB CTD is probably the most annoying bug I have ever encountered in a game, purely because it is so difficult to troubleshoot. Nothing shows up in any sort of log (game and system logs) that would indicate a memory limitation. ENBoost was the only thing after months of research that took care of it.

futile posted:It avoids the User Access Control issues in Windows. It's probably a lot easier to just turn down/off UAC than it is to move your steam installation over. Turning off UAC is a bad idea. Its a very big security feature. Moving a steam install is easy. Things like Mod Organizer, wrye bash, tesedit, skyproc patchers, and possibly skse will gently caress up eventually if you have skyrim in your program files. They pretty much have to do exactly what UAC is designed to prevent.

I've read through the OP and many of the pages on this thread, and haven't found a solution to this yet: is there any way to check which version of a mod you have stored in bulk other than using NMM? I really want to like NMM, but it constantly duplicates mod names for things like optional files, which results in me inadvertently deleting them, thinking they are duplicates. My preference is to just use Wrye, but that only lets me go to a Nexus page, one-at-a-time. Mod Organizer looks nice, except that it maintains its own library unzipped (unlike Wrye, which can leave everything in .7z format). Any thoughts, guidance, or "for godsakes go read such-and-such" would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone give me some tips on the install order to follow for these animation mods? I'm using... Realistic Ragdolls XP32 Maximum Skeleton FNIS Dual Sheath Redux Immersive Animations I installed them in the order listed, running the DSRX patcher and the FNIS patcher with optional arm fix patch. I can get the 1h sword on back placement, but the draw animation is still at the hip despite selecting the back draw animation option. Both swords won't show up on the back, only one, and the drat torch is still being held down by the waist. I'm also not sure which order I should be running the cleanup BOSS->BASH->DSRX->FNIS after installation. I also installed the DSRX patches for the appropriate mods (frostfall, Immersive Armor, etc)

graynull posted:Can anyone give me some tips on the install order to follow for these animation mods? I'm using... Oof, that one's a bitch to get to work, I spent like half an hour yesterday to get it to store daggers in the hip. Have you run the Dual Sheath Redux patch? Also, remember to only install the animations you want in Immersive Animations, as far as I know the game doesn't "switch" between animations depending on what you're using at the moment, so reinstall immersive, XP32 and dual (I have them in that order) and pick the same options in all 3, while leaving out the ones you're not going to be using. Finally, you need to run the patch if you haven't done that.

It doesn't keep an unzipped library, it just doesn't install mods into Skyrim/data but their own MO/Mods/<mod name>/ folder. It then uses black magic to turn all of those into the /data/ folder skyrim sees. Wrye bash and nmm and anything else just spray all of a mod's files into /data/ when you install them. The only way a MO install will take up more room than a wrye install is if you have tons of conflicting files that would get overwritten as wrye installs the mods.

The Live Another Life mod is really cool and well-done, and makes good use of Skyrim's soft-scaling. Similar mods for Fallout New Vegas tended to be terrible because you would start the game in areas you were supposed to hit 10-20 hours in. I decided to be an orc bandit and worked my way through some pretty tough Forsworn fights, but nothing insurmountable (like walking out of your starting area and hitting packs of glowing ghouls in FONV). Still gotta watch out for the 500 gp bounty they automatically slapped on me in my starting hold, which was a nice touch. The only thing that hurts the mod is how oddball the Stormcloak / Empire choice is presented, even if it is optional. But once you're out of the cave it dovetails elegantly with the revised story up to that point. Really impressive imo. Meanwhile I decide to roleplay and accost a nobleman and his escort, but some long-forgotten mod made horses invincible in this game, and they apparently count as witnesses to crime, so that didn't end well. I just took out my frustration on an Empire prisoner convoy and a few Whiterun guards. No pack animals around to report that one.

Well since you specifically mention "pretty modifications" I'll assume you mean graphical improvement mods. You'll reach one big major problem if you go whole hog with super high rez 4k texture overhauls. Namely the 3.1 GB memory crash bug. Skyrim did get patched by Beth to use more than 2GB of ram, but it still shits the bed when total ram reaches 3.1 GB. And with the lousy way the game keeps stuff in memory you'll reach that really really really quickly if you prettify things. Fear not, look up ENBoost on Skryim Nexus. This is pretty much mandatory if you're going graphics/additional content heavy.

Does anyone know of a reason that my save would suddenly balloon from 11,600 KB to 172,440 KB in the middle of a play session? I picked up Skryim again to play after a bit of a break - didn't install any new mods or anything - did a couple quests, some exploring, some loitering, no issues at all. Went through the Aemer's Refuge player's house, did some crafting, and then exited near Ivarstead, and the all of the sudden my save file started to balloon - it'd take 15, 20 seconds to quicksave. I mean, I'd get it if I installed a bunch of mods, or what have you, but I've been very careful not to install/change mods in the middle of a playthrough, and even then, a bunch of save bloat with no warning? I was able to load one of my autosave backups with a minimal loss of progress, so I'm not completely hampered by it, it's just a very strange occurrence. Is it just Skyrim being Skyrim, or is there a particular mod or location that suddenly causes save game bloat?
