Mr. Crow posted:It used to be a popular key-logger-magnet for the same reason it got popular. I downloaded one of the Skyrim mods and ran it through the MalwareBytes scanner and Avast! and it didn't see anything. There was a file inside the archive with a .manifest extension and if I remember correctly from my WoW days that was simply used by the Curse client to track the file. I didn't have to use the client to download the mod, either - direct download is an option. It might require a registered account to access but then, so does the Nexus. I guess the question is at what point dealing with Nexus politics and administration becomes more painful than the nebulous threat of (possible) malware. The latter, at least, you can remove.

Curse runs the Minecraft community and if anything it's an even more juvenile, spiteful, and insular community than the Elder Scrolls mod scene. You would have to click on AdFly links to download mods, modders would start writing code that would wreck your Skyrim install if you played the game through Mod Organizer instead of the hypothetical Curse client, or would write their mods in such a way that it would corrupt your save if you ran it alongside a mod created by someone they didn't like. Because that's Minecraft modding, and Curse doesn't give a poo poo cleaning up any of that. So imagine the pants-on-head stupidity of the Nexus with the added bonus of malware (from AdFly ads) and mods written to deliberately gently caress up your game.

This looks to be the "back end" community behind the Curse front end - completely indivisible from the Minecraft ne'erdwells. If anything the downside here is that the community looks all but derelict, and Curse might not one day be inclined to keep paying the server bills for it.

Curse is as bad as the Nexus, for different reasons, like buying up Wikis, leaving them unmaintained, and then serving up poo poo ads on them. Just one example but seriously when it comes to ~~~ video game mods~ there is no ideal site.

It was a thought, anyway. I just think we need something to compete with Nexus that serves mods in the same fashion, if only to break the monopoly and force them to be less intolerable. Curse just seems to be the only other major-league presence with the size and clout to do that. In other news I've released Anska Enhanced, which turns the tomb-raiding genealogist you probably never knew existed into a full follower, complete with travel commentary.* *shamelessly cribbed from Mjoll

It's all half life 2 mods and is because there isn't a good well known site for them and its basically his own map collection of every map he can find. Or maybe it's because mappers are just better people.

My friend was wanting to get a bunch of mods for skyrim. I have been trying to understand how Nexus works. Do you have to pay money every month to use it? Does it require payment at all? I looked at their FAQs, and they were not very good at answering. Apparently, you have to keep paying in order to use the mods you download, right? Or is it a one time payment?

Derailing again but I never noticed how bad arthmoor was until this uskp problem and reading how he handles it on the nexus forums and that little community modding forum. In one he acts like a complete dick that ignores advice because of some egotistical superiority complex based partially on senority and admits a disdane for mod users. He basically says gently caress those guys that downloads our mods. On the nexus forums he takes the ideas of other people, passes them off as his own all while pretending that he is serving the good of the mod userbase and continuing to blame those that actually worked hard on a fix as slowing down the work or causing problems and grief. He is loving crazy.

Planet Elder Scrolls still exist. It just isn't as popular for Skyrim mods as the Nexus. Also, is there an alternative compiled bug fix patch? The more I learn of Arthmoor, the less I would want to use his mods.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. It's only downside really is "it's not as well known as the nexus", which is a shame. Thank god the Morrowind community is vehemently anti-nexus (and also why Arthmoor takes stabs at the Morrowind patch project whenever he can  )

Modding Morrowind can be a lot more frustrating though as the entire community is spread out across like five different websites and a host of dead links so you get started looking around and next thing you know its twelve hours later and you're waiting on the google translate to finish for this russian mod site that is the only place left for the mod you crave.

I'm having a lot of trouble with Blackreach Railroad. The mod just does not stay enabled. I check the box, then I come back letter and it's unchecked again. The .esp seems to stay enabled just fine but the .esm won't and I have no idea why. It means I can't play the mod.

Scyantific posted:Doesn't Nazeem share the same voice as Marcurio (the wizard mercenary from Riften)? Nah, Marcurio is MaleEvenToned, while Nazeem is MaleCondescending. The latter I don't think is even normally a valid voicetype for followers so this could take considerable doing, I'd basically be making a custom-voiced NPC. But I think I've got enough experience under my belt at this point to tackle it, and I know there are at least a couple good guides for it out there. Potentially a dumb Mod Organizer question, but is there a way to get the CK and MO to play along with each other? Whenever I runt the CK through MO it bitches at me and crashes whenever I try to compile scripts or do anything more basic than switch numbers around in NPC records.

I'm back into Skyrim after not playing for quite a while. I took an afternoon to update my Mod Manager and all my active mods. For some reason, I don't have some of the basic Smelting options like Steel and Corundum. I can see Iron, Silver, Gold, Dwarven (only Large Struts as the option), and Leather from a smelter for some goddamn reason. Any idea what mod is causing this? Is it just a skill check that I'm missing to add them to the list? I've got several armor/smithing mods on but I don't remember this being an issue before. The ones I can tell I know affect smithing directly are Ars Metallica and Lost Art of the Blacksmith, plus I have various armor mods like Armonizer and Immersive Armors.

Also, I might as well ask about this: The OP mentions that a blue tint happens with SoS, and explains how to fix it. I don't know if this is the same problem, either way I'm not using 0.199 (I'm using the latest version with K ENB) and my enbseries.ini doesn't have the line it tells you to change. This blue tint happens randomly when I load up the game and also seems triggered by magic use or stepping on those lightning traps.

Also, Here is bunch of other stuff I've lootified, including Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade, FF7 Blades at the Forge, Keyblades, and Warmonger's Armory. Those ones you'll just want to paste into your custom.xml file.

Question: If one were to have a mod where crime bounties on the player gradually decay when they spend time away from the place that considers them a criminal, would it be better for the player have to stay away from the entire hold, or just the main city of that hold? I'm leaning towards the latter, but a little bit ambivalent.

Strudel Man posted:Question: Both via MCM if you can manage it? I know I need to learn how to work that thing. Also, I'd suggest that you adjust the equation to erode on a curve - small bounties decay faster while larger ones decay more slowly. And a slider to adjust that in MCM.

The Mad Archivist posted:Both via MCM if you can manage it? I know I need to learn how to work that thing. My current, somewhat tentative plan for an equation is that the bounty decays each day to (x * 0.9) - 5 gold, where x is the previous day's value. I need both an absolute and a proportional change in order for small bounties actually to go away and for large ones to decrease meaningfully. Using these values, being caught pick-pocketing would be forgotten about in four days, and murder would take...about a month? That's a while, game-time, even if it's probably still a little short treated 'realistically.' I've also discovered that apparently the game actually tracks violent and non-violent crime separately, so if I wanted to, I could have them decay separately. Not sure I really want to, though.

I'm a bit confused about this. Why can't you just run the Lootification patcher itself, without editing anything? There obviously must be some reason, otherwise you wouldn't have done it, but just running the patcher seemed to work for me before and I'd like to know what this is all about. By the way, in case anyone else ever has the problem of Skyrim crashing when you save, it seems to be a possible problem with SSME. One of the suggested fixes is to load your save twice when you start the game, and that seems to be working for me so far.

There obviously must be some reason, otherwise you wouldn't have done it, but just running the patcher seemed to work for me before and I'd like to know what this is all about. Because any mod without entries in either lootification.xml (which comes with entries for a lot of popular mods) or custom.xml (which is where any entries you make in the LLI UI are recorded) won't be touched by the patcher. You can see this for yourself by running the patcher, then loading up LLI.esp in TES5edit, and seeing all the entries, or just checking out the LLI.esp's list of master files. You could lootify them in the patcher UI but that's a huge pain in the rear end (the UI is, by the authors own admission, horrid.) That's why I lootify everything by hand in a text editor. I had to relootify IA7 because Hothtrooper was... Nice... Enough to change every single EDID from previous versions, meaning the old Immersive Armors entries did absolutely nothing for IA7, even for armors that were carried over from previous versions, because the EDIDs were different.

So yeah, Warmonger Armory and Heljarchen Farm are some drat good mods. Heljarchen farm works almost exactly like a Hearthfire house but instead of turning it into a trophy home, you can turn it into an income generator if you hire workers and guards. Warmonger Armory on the other hand, has some pretty nice designs going, and they fit right in with the rest of the game. See the Breton assassin I have right now. Got Telvanni Apprentice robes/gloves/boots and the Rogue Thief Hood.

Yeah, Lootification "ships" with entries for popular mods, but the IA ones are obsolete since Hoth changed every singled EDID (sometimes only slightly, but that's enough.) Oh, and since the mod has entries in lootification.xml, you can't edit it in the LLI UI.
