Is ENB still finicky with AMD graphics cards? Before I bite the bullet on a 290 I just want to check, since part of the reason I'm upgrading is that I'd like to run skyrim + enb at 1440p without wanting to throw myself of a bridge thanks to the framerate and input lag. I seem to remember years ago ENB didn't exactly play well with AMD/ATI cards, has that been sorted now? Also I just started using mod organizer; as someone who's been modding these games for a frankly sad amount of time this is a revelation. It's also the only mod manager for bethesda games that I can recall that isn't horribly buggy (NMM), slow (OBMM), annoying to install/use (wrye bash before it had a proper executable) or some combination of the above. Bit of a learning curve but nothing too bad.

Under the Immersive Patrols mod, is it normal for both sides of a skirmish to turn on me when I try to help? If I fire a single arrow at an Aldmeri Dominion jerk, the Stormcloaks get pissed as well.

I was looking at some weapon mods the other day and thinking about how modders can't add any new weapon animations and can only replace existing ones. But I also remember hearing that new animations can be added as idles or by having scripts that trigger them. If this is true, could a modder conceivably add, for example, a spear thrusting animation by giving the player a lesser power that activates a script to trigger the thrusting animation? It's a bit cumbersome, to be sure, but would it work? Or am I misinformed/ignorant of some other aspect of the problem?

Once you save with a mod active its gonna be part of that game forever and removing it has a high chance of eventually causing problems. Unlike previous games Skyrim bakes a large amount of information into saves. That's why the advice is save and backup before adding a mod you aren't sure of and test it before committing.

This morning, Wrye Bash all of the sudden won't launch through MO. Through the Start Menu it works fine. I've reinstalled it, rebuilt INI files, etc. What gives? edit: Fixed, one of my INI files in my MO profile had bad encoding/characters.

It's a bit cumbersome, to be sure, but would it work? Or am I misinformed/ignorant of some other aspect of the problem? You can add additional animations and trigger them as you want through a script. So in theory you could add a spear weapon and a special spear thrust animation that was triggered by a script. Two big problems come up. First I don't think the thrust animation could be linked to count as an actual attack. Second papyrus scripts have very little control over when they run, trying to script combat events is very tricky as the script can be suspended without warning while other scripts run. So you could try and thrust and it would wait however long before starting the attack. I think a kinda workaround for both of those could be done with an skse script that patched the attack code. If you watched for the attack function call you could hijack it and switch out the animation of the normal weapon swing with your spear thrust but not change the rest of the stuff making it count as an attack. An skse script shouldn't be subject to any lag because they work as code injection iirc and skyrim would think it was part of the normal attack engine code. Of course that means figuring out the innards of skyrim's engine for attack calls and then writing an skse dll to hijack it.

The SkyUI menu and the Nexus page weren't entirely too clear on this, so could anyone tell me if "removing perks" in SPERG takes away the automatic perks or just the perks that you had to manually add? Because I really want to get rid of the Phantom Animals perk now that I've decided to try my hand at stealth (the fuckers spawn in the second anyone starts searching for you, and attack immediately, blowing stealth), but I don't want to lose all of my automatically-gained perks.

It removes everything, but puts the automatic ones right back when it reads your skill levels. Which is pretty instant.

There are options to change how it works, so that it doesn't trigger in stealth at all, if I remember right.

So I have a video card that can actually run ENB fairly decently, and I'm trying to find a preset. My biggest problem is trying to find one that doesn't turn nights/caves into "oh poo poo I need a torch even though I'm trying to stealth" land. Whatever I use, I'll also be disabling bloom and adaptation, and UseIndirectLighting as well as that seems to be the source of my "cave walls turning invisible" issue.

So, Nexus Mod Manager and MO still won't download anything when Download with Manager is pressed. What's that been, a month now? And of course, the guys responsible have been thoroughly tight lipped about any problems, leaving their moderators to come up with half assed excuses for why their site runs like dogshit. "The site doesn't have problems, it's just a DDOS attack!" "What do you mean, NMM isn't working? It's just because our servers were overloaded by new people during Christmas!" "Mod organizer doesn't work? You should be using NMM!" "NMM isn't working? It's your firewall, or a problem on your end, download the latest version!" "Latest version isn't working? See the above!"

Also the "book of silence" is far and away the best texture redo of the vanilla armors.

I don't think anyone's done that but I can explain why that happened. From what I recall, Immersive Armors is only one guy while Immersive Weapons has multiple people with different standards for what can be considered good which is why you have some really nice looking weapons alongside some really loving awful ones.

I am running a few basic mods, none conflicted, but recently have had a couple problems that are just showing up. In one, any time I quicksave I crash to desktop, but only if I am looking in the vague direction of a dragon. I apparently don't have to be graphically rendering the dragon, just if the dragon is in that direction, but that's hard to confirm, it might have been a fluke. Also, I had a problem last night where after waiting around for Jarl Maven for 4 hours to tell her I'd found a skooma dealer, it CTD'd upon leaving the keep. It then continued to CTD on that save until I went back a save before, waited 5 hours, and continued on. I am guessing this is just Bethesda weirdness, but who knows. In case there's something in here, here's my MO order: Skyrim.esm Update.esm Unofficial Skyrim Patch Dawnguard Unofficial Dawnguard Patch Dragonborn Unofficial Dragonborn Patch HearthFires Unofficial Hearthfire Patch SPIKE.esm SPERG.esm Uncle Sheo.esp Apocalypse - The Spell Package.esp hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp skyui.esp SPERG.esp SKSE Hotkeys.esp I did just notice that SPERG.esm and SPERG.esp were separated, I've put them back one after another just in case. The other thing is I'm playing this after just finishing replaying Deus Ex, so I am mashing the quicksave button frequently. I have noticed the time it takes to quick-save is getting longer and longer - should I go through and remove a bunch of my old manual saves just in case? I have like 23 of them, plus quicksaves and autosaves . . . I imagine that could be causing the game some issues with saves?

Is there anything special in particular I need to do in order to get SKSE to play nice with Steam? Someone bought me a Steam copy of Skyrim for Christmas and I'm beginning my epic adventure into the dark recesses of Modland, but I've noticed that SKSE appears to use its own .exe instead of the standard Skyrim executable. Can I just launch the game through Steam normally, or should I be using the SKSE executable? If the latter, is there anything else I should be doing?

Yes, just run the game with skse.exe. The game will still run with steam overlay, etc. If you add any steam workshop mods, run the game launcher though steam to download them then close it and run skse. Finally, if you ever decide to use a mod manager like MO, you'll need to point those to skse so you're running skyrim through skse through the mod manager.

Mister Bates posted:<SKSE question> Standard advice I give to modding noobies: Start small. The number one mistake people new to modding these games make is installing 100+ mods at once. If something goes wrong, you'll have no way to troubleshoot things. Install & test mods one at the time, or at least in small batches. Also read the readmefiles and descriptionpages of mods. Doing that will save yourself a lot of headache and time. You could have found the answer to this question for example by reading SKSE's readme.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Was looking at Realistic Needs and Diseases and got a question for those that have it, There should be an entry in MCM that's called something like "Force Satiation First" which, if enabled, should prevent your character from becoming overfull if they're at all hungry when they eat. I'd also recommend reducing all rates and percentages by half (the same goes for Frostfall if you've got it), because while I'm totes up for having a little Hatchet in my north pole fantasy adventure, I'm not so keen on that displacing the fantasy adventure part.

This may not be quite what you're looking for, but CNHF v2_5 Female Body Replacer and its armor replacers (most of the vanilla armors, others, vampires) are pretty good, particularly if you're using that mod that swaps female character animations for the ones used by male characters.

My god, this is like a whole new game. Going to be honest, I got bored with vanilla Skyrim on console after about 8 hours and never touched it again. But holy poo poo, if I ever get finished installing mods and actually try playing the game for a while, I think I'm going to love it to death. So far the main thing I'm interested in is Frostfall, plus a bunch of weather overhauls and mods adding additional clothing and gear options. I loving love the idea of making weather a gameplay element and am honestly kind of surprised there isn't already something similar in the vanilla game.

So, new survivalist run with a bosmer. Frostfall, realistic needs, hunterborn & alternate random start which threw me into a dungeon to kill a few hagravens at lvl 1. Tough nut to crack but found a unnique bow (the bow without a name) so score! Odd bug. All of the above are apparantly working ingame, but realistic needs doesn't do anything. RND has it's own settings menu in MCM. Also, how do I install the community uncapper if SPERG is only supposed to give me a perk point every second level. Figures that was why my last mage was so utterliy overpowered. It doesn't install through MO so I just threw it into the data folder bubt it doesn't seem to do anything.

The first few paragraphs in the uncapper ini are along the lines of "Do you want to enable this part of uncapper? Enable=1, Disable=0". It defaults to 0, so you need to change them to 1 otherwise any other changes don't work.

Just copy the uncapper ini file that comes with SPERG over the default one in the uncapper mod. No need to edit the file unless you want to do something else with the uncapper aside from using it for SPERG. e: though, I think what I did was edit the SPERG uncapper.ini, copy the text, then paste it in over the contents of the uncapper mod's copy. That was it was all through MO and I was pretty sure it'd wind up using the changes, which it did. Gorgar fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jan 6, 2014 |

For me, the SPERG installer didn't copy over the INI for some reason (I think this is the fault of MO, possibly?) and I had to manually open SPERG in explorer, and then copy the INI file from a SPERG subfolder. Ended up working OK. Screenshot time.   Immersive Patrols is the best:

So, my first experience in modded Skyrim: Escape Helgen, make my way to Riverwood. Kill three wolves on the way in, stagger slowly into town carrying all three because I didn't want to dress and skin them out there on the road. Sell poo poo-tons of wolf meat to the local inn. Craft a bandolier. Decide I need some water, but forget how to empty bottles, so I just drink my entire supply of booze to make room for water. Spend about ten minutes stumbling around in a drunken haze, fall into a freezing cold stream, drown. This is loving awesome.
