Perhaps a stupid question: when it comes to crafting, basically the only mod that I need is Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade, right? I used to run, in the old days, with a weird combo of the original Complete Crafting Overhaul, Legendary Smithing Upgrades, Weapon and Armor Fixes, Lost Art of the Blacksmith that strangely did not implode my savegame. Besides any bugfixes to the crafting system, I'd just be mostly interested in being able to craft any/most items the vanilla game does not include, and being able to temper every weapon and armor.

LOCUST FART HELL posted:I've recently started a fresh mod install of Skyrim (again) and I'm getting some strange problems; when I kill an enemy, the corpse will often disappear instantly, or sometimes even reappear back on the spot with full health like nothing happened. Also, it seems some non-essential NPCs are flagged as essential (such as town guards). Before I start peeling back mods to figure out which one is responsible, do any of you know if there's a likely culprit? It would be helpful to see a load order.

Is there any mod that changes the Imperial Garrison troops back to normal Nord Guards? Finished the Civil War, and it's a bit annoying that half my cities are suddenly full of out of place guardtypes. Also is there a mod that takes the Word Wall out of Snow Veil Sanctum? I assume I can get the Word Wall in the DB Sanctuary if I do the "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood." quest, but would also like to get Disarm on my new character.

I've never completed any of the civil war stuff. The Nords are crazy xenophobic and I don't want to support the Empire either because the Thalmor are assholes. Do either of the quest-lines result in actually doing something good for the people of Skyrim or at least let me take out the Thalmor presence? As for a mod question. I have SkyUI, but I'm not getting the gold/weight tab in the inventory menu. I was having trouble installing it with Mod Organiser, so I used the Steam Workshop. Steam Workshop version of Uncle Sheogorath works fine when launching through MO and I believe SkuUI is mostly working because I can see more than 5 items at a time on my inventory screen.

Do either of the quest-lines result in actually doing something good for the people of Skyrim or at least let me take out the Thalmor presence? The Empire quests end with Imperial troops getting stationed in all the Stormcloak holds, and you killing Ulfric. Personally all the new Jarls are much better people ( it's the Imperial lady in Dawnstar, the proCollege guy in Winterhold, Maven in Riften, and the guy trying to help the Dunmer/Argonians in Windhelm ), so I view it as a good thing. Outside of the few proUlfric NPCs, the majority of NPCs are pretty happy with Ulfric being gone, especially the NPCs of Windhelm. Tulius outright says the Empire is planning for war on the Thalmor, and the business in Skyrim was just something they had to deal with before they could actually start it. The Stormcloak quests end with you deposing some ok but not great Jarls in exchange for some of the worst NPCs in the game. Morthal gets a ruler who has no idea what's going on, Falkreath gets a paranoid madman who thinks his own people are out to get him, and Markarth becomes a hellscape ruled by the Silver-Bloods. Only Whiterun and Solitude get out alright, and even then Balgruuf is a much better Jarl then Grey-Mane. The majority of the NPCs in Solitude/Markarth/Whiterun are furious, and the people of Falkreath/Morthal are annoyed by their new Jarls. Dawnstar, Winterhold, and Riften NPCs still find Skald/Korir/Laila to be really lovely Jarls. The Windhelm Dunmer/Argonians basically give up on life now that Ulfric is High King. There is no mention of ideas on how to deal with the Thalmor at all, outside of "we are Nords!" On the positive side, the Thalmor guy in Markarth disappears, and the shrine to Talos in Solitude gets brought back.

Well Laila is completely incapable of solving her cities corruption problems, even the ones that have nothing to do with Maven. Outside of all that, the cities economy has completely fallen apart, and it's gone from a powerful city to a slumtown under her "rule". Maven will still allow the Thieves Guild to exist, but she'd at least clean up the bandit/skooma problems nearby, and revitalize the economic aspect of the town. It's not the best of the group, but I'd call it an improvement at least. Also let's try to not derail this that much. I'm super proEmpire in Skyrim so this could go on for days, but this is the modding thread, not the discussion thread. I just gave a quick answer to how things end up if you finish the Civil War questline, without getting very indepth. I'd rather not argue further and mess up this thread.

 That's a purty menu. My last question would be, how should I hook this up into the game? The idea I had is that I would make a corresponding on/off global to each voicetype, and then a single float global for the frequency. I would hook each unique global into the base quest for each voicetype, and attach the frequency to a random chance variable inside a condition, and then have the MCM reset those globals depending on how it's configured - so if you uncheck Female Commander, the global switches to 0, making the dialog topics for Female Commander invalid, etc. etc. Is this a good way to do it or is there a better way?

I'm not very familiar with how the dialogue stuff works but with general quest stuff globals are fine. You can also add the quests as properties to the MCM script and have the MCM directly adjust the variables as needed. Then you don't have tons of globals to keep track of. It'd probably let you condense your code a bit too. Something like code:

What are some good vanilla non-dlc mods for adding to the available armours? I already use Immersive Armours which is sweet (just wish the lists were organised a little nicer). Speaking of organising, is there a mod that lets me sort out all the junk I've got strewn around the storage places in my home?

LTSmash, just sent you a Steam friend invite to pick your brain a little more on this (I'm the one with the skull trumpet av). As for disabling/enabling the quests through the MCM, I considered that but something about it just seems more ham-handed than using a global in a condition, like using the circuit breaker to turn the lights in the kitchen on and off, as opposed to installing a light switch. If using a global ends up being too complicated I may end up doing that, though. I tested the frequency throttle and it is half-working: the MCM is not setting the global at all, even though it seems to be remembering the setting the slider is put at just fine. That said, setting the global through the console has the desired effect - I was able to tone down a crowded room of followers immediately to a trickle by setting it to 15%.

Brainstormed with LtSmash and worked out a nice shortcut for getting the MCM Menu working, and after a quick test the config appears to be doing what it's supposed to! With that, I hereby inaugarate the FCO beta, grab it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_XfVIdUSm4XeUJHRjVVbmRycGM/edit?usp=sharing In terms of load order it should be fine pretty much anywhere, but for best results I would load EFF/AFT/UFO after it if you are using them, as well as any of my follower mods which you have already (i.e. Anska/Heimskr/Nazeem). This is mainly due to some bits which are kicking around in there which affect hire/dismiss for the FemaleNord voicetype (i.e. Mjoll); I will probably end up stripping those parts out for release and make voicetype correction for Mjoll/Belrand/etc. a seperate module.

The chucklefuck that made Civil War Overhaul and Dragon Combat Overhaul removed his mods and now all you get when you try to download them is a link to a YouTube video that's teasing a super mod that combines all of his stuff. Since I don't have an eternity to wait on this guy's mod that will never release, does anyone know if there's any mirrors up so I can actually use his stupid loving mods? Or better yet, is there anything better out there for making the Civil War and Dragons better?  WastedJoker posted:What are some good vanilla non-dlc mods for adding to the available armours? For non-DLC required stuff I've been using http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mod...review%3D&pUp=1 and I think the Compilation set doesn't require any, not positive since he didn't do an amazing writeup. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mod...review%3D&pUp=1 The other two are hit or miss, but the Aesir armor really knocks it out of the park http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35094/ What the guy did was take a bunch of vanilla assets them threw them in a blender and turned an armor set in to a lego set. He even threw in its own dungeon so you're not picking the pieces off of random level 5 bandits. It's probably the best armor mod I've seen considering it's exactly how I imagine my fantasy over the top barbarians. Other than those, I'm not sure if there's anything good. Most armor mods are just rips from other games or plate bikinis. Blast of Confetti fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Mar 24, 2014 |

I just cleaned the .esms for the first time, and I've run into some encounters that I don't recall getting before, like the Orc Dawnguard guy showing up in Riverwood to recruit me and an Afflicted refugee on the road between Riverwood and Whiterun telling me about his leader going crazy. Do these normally start showing up when you clean the masters, or did I just do something different to trigger these that I must not have done on prior runs/false starts?

All of thats normal - the Orc Dawnguard can show up anywhere once you hit level 8, when Dawnguard starts the vampire attacks, and the Afflicted guy is very, very random and your best chance of encountering him is by walking on the road.

Recently got back into this, but PC this time and with expansions (my previous experiences have only been Xbox/vanilla). As soon as I hit level 8, a vampire attack wiped out Falkreach during the day, which seems weird for vampires. I've got When Vampires Attack, but it seems the guards at least stick around and fight and die. Is this supposed to happen, and if so is there a mod that makes them only attack at night? I'm cool with the attacks happening, but not if they're sparkly day-walking Twilight vampires.

That is rare. There is a condition which will check for the time, so they did at least spawn at night, but then for whatever reason didn't get around to actually attacking until a few hours later. If it happens often, look into it more, but it probably won't.

I'm not sure what happened then. I cleared out Halldir's Cairn, went outside at night, waited until morning, THEN fast traveled to Falkreach at about 8AM. No vampires. I went inside the Jarl's longhouse to turn in a quest I finished earlier, accepted another quest from him, and as soon as I exited the longhouse a bunch of vampires were already shredding people.

Welp, guess my videocard isn't quite up to the High Resolution Packs (Radeon HD5770, 1 gig) - after dropping into total slideshow mode way too often, I reverted my modset back to pre-Immersive Patrols/Organized Bandits, reloaded the last save before I headed off to Ivarstadt, and *surprise* poo poo still stuttered. Chopped the HR packs and Unofficial Patch, very minor stutter, mainly when autosaving. Re-enabled everything but HR, loaded a save just before Bandit's Cove (where there were a *bunch* of OBIS bandits, and where it got silly-slow), and no problems. So, in celebration, I dropped in about 20 more assorted mods I'd been saving (mainly more weapons/armors, Apoc and Thunderchild, a few other things) and started trudging along the coastline north from Solitude. Still need to add Immersive Creatures and Realistic Animals, though. Also, does Complete Crafting Overhaul play nicely with SPERG?

I've been trying several different texture packs and I think what I really need is one that changes all the vanilla textures just for the sake of variety but aren't actually any bigger/are optimized. There's a clothing/armor/weapon retex and a creature retex by the same guy that claim to be optimized, but I haven't seen anything like that for outdoor landscape.

So this mod sounds rather promising. Immersive NPC in the dark This mod changes how NPCs see in the dark. Sounds like a great addition if you use a lighting mod like RLO or ELFX that can make dungeons, caves, and mines nice and dark. No longer will normal bandits be able to see perfectly into pitch dark areas while tracking you. They will have to use torches and lighting spells just like a player not using some night vision ability. Animals, Khajit, Undead, Vampires, and Followers will keep their night vision. Followers will be worked on in future updates as will NPC Assassins and Thieves (allowing those 2 to have night vision abilities according to the Brodual video on the page). I haven't gotten around to testing quite yet, but there are concerns of script lag in areas with alot of actors. Will be interesting to see how it runs with ASIS spawns or the Populated series. This is still a WIP with more features and optimizations coming. Metalocalypse fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Mar 24, 2014 |

Davoren posted:Whats the best option if I want to make playing as a werewolf a bit more viable? Theres a few overhauls on the nexus but I don't want to gently caress my game with a lovely/shoddy disaster mod. Dawnguard adds a werewolf perk tree so you'll want that before anything else. Moonlight Tales shakes up werewolf gameplay but doesn't make them any stronger. Stuff like lunar transformations, transforming at will, etc. Bloodmoon Rising overhauls the perk tree that Dawnguard added. Werewolf Mastery gives you optional straight buffs to werewolf stats if this isn't enough. Also the ability to change howls or revert to normal at will. Re: NPCs in the dark. I tried this but it just resulted in people going through pickup animation loops or holding invisible unlit torches. Not sure if that was just script lag on my end or an incompatibility or the mod being beta though.
