I'm assuming I do but you never know what's going to screw up a game or cause a crash. Should work the same if not better, except you'll want to pass the -NOBOSS argument to any SUM Patchers you run.

Or just uninstall BOSS and hit cancel when it opens the file dialogue for you to find BOSS. Youll only have to do that the first time.

I'm using an ENB for the first time ever and was wondering if there was a way to turn off the autofocus effect on the depth-of-field. I can turn off the DOF completely, but I like having the static DOF for far off things, I just don't like it blurring everything out whenever my cursor so much as brushes something nearby. I've been googling it, but I haven't really found much, though I might just be searching for the wrong things. I'm using Project ENB, if that makes a difference. edit: Figured it out. In case anyone else needs to know; if you edit enbeffectprepass.fx in notepad (or notepad++ if you're feeling fancy) you just delete "#define AUTO_FOCUS" and voila!

This looks pretty cool - Manual Crossbow Reload. Stops you from automatically reloading your crossbow, so you can take a shot and keep moving. It uses a hotkey or a power to reload, but you can set the hotkey to your attack button, which sounds perfect. This is how crossbows should have been from the beginning. It seems to make changing bolts a bit awkward, though. Gopher did a video about it if you want to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI-ezeVqcv0&list=UU1CSCMwaDubQ4rcYCpX40Eg.

Quick question since google isn't being helpful: What exactly do I need to do with files in the overwrite section of Mod Organizer? I nuked my Skyrim folder and just finished redownloading/reinstalling all my stuff, and ASIS's patcher generated an ASIS.esp and a Skyproc Patchers folder in my overwrite section. Am I supposed to drag those into ASIS's mod listing in the left pane or create a new mod for it like this describes doing? Or should I just leave it there or something? Also all I need to do to add SPERG as an exception to ASIS is list SPERG.esm and SPERG.esp under ASIS.ini, right? I don't want to run into what happened before I nuked everything and started over, where enemies were stacking the "give allies an armor buff" perk on each other so dungeons were filled with literal swarms of unkillable enemies.

I'm glad they made it so you can set the reload to your attack button since playing with a controller doesn't really jive with using a bunch of hotkeys for stuff.

So, I'm currently reordering my installed mods in MO to match the load order from the right pane. What am I supposed to do with mods that contain multiple ESPs? I can't assign multiple priorities to a single mod so that's a bit confusing.

I'd say make a new mod for the generated files like the link says. Its not a huge deal but it keeps them separate so you can keep track of them easier. Just don't leave them in Overwrite because Overwrite is shared between profiles (if you use those) and can't be toggled on and off like a mod so you can get files showing up that shouldn't be there. And yes to add a mod as a global exclusion to ASIS put the file name like SPERG.esp in ASIS.ini. If you just wanted to exclude it from ASIS spells you would put it in AutomaticSpells.ini.

That means they have conflicting files that MO is managing. If there is no lightning bolt their MO install order doesn't matter so don't go crazy. If you have a mod with multiple esps that does have a lightning bolt icon right click it and choose information, then the conflicts tab. That will show you all the conflicting files. They will usually be scripts, textures, or meshes (models). Hopefully some thinking about the mods will let you figure out which should win the conflict.

Does anyone else have issues with Skyrim taking quite a bit of time to launch after starting SKSE? It usually takes a couple minutes to start up. I'm running MO; tried an empty profile and it's starts within seconds.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about the Interesting NPCs quests, but they're actually really good, and there are a lot of them. Most of them have more creativity and character than 90 percent of the vanilla quests. It could pretty much be considered a quest mod at this point.

So from what I've gathered, most if not all of my problems with freezing and save bloat and all that are because I've been adding and removing bunches of mods partway through an already-started game. If that's the case, would that basically mean that if I started a game with all the mods that I wanted to use with it already loaded beforehand, I most likely wouldn't have these same problems?

That sounds about right. The general rule is to not remove mods mid-playthrough, especially mods with a lot of scripts, and you certainly wouldn't want to do something like changing from SPERG to SkyRe 50 hours in. It's not a hard-and-fast rule, and some mods are safer to remove than others, but that's the safest way to go. Adding mods mid-playthrough generally isn't a problem, unless they conflict with something you already have installed, and of course you'll want to make sure you don't have any other conflicts and that your load order is correct. If you do that, you should be fine.

If you activate SKSE's script-trimming function that helps deal with save bloat, but it doesn't work all at once - you have to keep playing, as SKSE only takes out the bad scripts as they pop up. I switched from ACE to SPERG with a save that was over 100 hours in a couple years ago and it still works today.

You can add mods to a save pretty much whenever unless they need a specific event to trigger them and you have already done it. If they have any scripts you are pretty much hosed if you try and remove them ever. If they are totally unscripted simple weapon/armor mods you should be okay removing them but those items will of course vanish. If you try and re-add the same mod strange things may happen. If you were foolish enough to remove a scripted mod and then reinstall it it will forever be trapped in a state of limbo. Scripts neither alive nor dead. Yearning always for the sweet release of death, sowing chaos in all they touch, and making all respectable objects recoil in horror at their mere sight. If you are thinking about adding a mod save your game and back up that save. The add the mod and check it out. If you don't like it remove it delete any saves after adding it and go back to the pre-mod safe save that was never contaminated. Unlike previous elder scroll/fallout games skyrim bakes scripts and some other mod info into your save and it never ever comes out. Some people talk about making clean saves but if they are implying anything other than a backup before a mod was installed they are simply wrong. The sin of a mod is indelible upon a save and can only be purged with fire. SKSE only trims scripts that are registered in a specific way. Lots of other kinds of problems can crop up from bad scripts. And the next thing you know you are relearning C++ because you want make a dll plugin so you can dynamically get the tempering recipe for whatever weapon the player has equipped because otherwise there is no way to know what materials they need to be able to temper it since you had to make a duplicate weapon to alter its stats since skyrim won't let you change a specific item's stats to make a skyrim signature weapons mod. And skyrim is crashing because you mixed something up since skse's source is sparsely commented at best. Mods. Not even once.

[General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 Note that all this does it attempt to clean up orphaned OnUpdate and OnUpdateGameTime events left behind by missing scripts. It does not fix badly coded scripts. So if you have a broken mod that's causing bloat issues in your setup, you'll need to get rid of that mod first before this will do you any good. Nor does it get rid of everything scripts and mods can leave behind in your save file. If you want to uninstal a script heavy mod, then unless the mod auther has setup an uninstal procedure or you know what you're doing, it's best to revert back to save from before you installed that mod.

I read a while ago about a mod that put greater emphasis on racial prejudice in the game. Does anyone know what I'm referring to? I think it added some overt racial tensions and subtle ones too, like certain merchants charging you more or less, and others outright attacking you or throwing you out for being "your kind". There's one that's specific to Windhelm, but the one I read about was looking at adding it across the province and being different in each region - places closer to Hammerfell would have different opinions on Redguard, closer to Morrowind have stronger opinions on Dunmer, etc. I don't know if they ever finished it but someone was working on it a while back and the concept sounded interesting. Failing that, is there anything that overhauls faction relations? I'd love to see my actions make me hated/KoS by some people and loved by others, and actually have to work to gain favor and access in certain places. I seem to remember faction ratings being one of the things the original Everquest did pretty well.

Is this mod solid at this point, or does it still feel like "these npcs were added to game by amatuers?" Personally, I really like it. Along with OBIS it really fleshes out the world. I've found a lot of, as the name implies, interesting NPCs throughout Skyrim that have some unexpected backstories. I randomly stumbled across this guy protecting a little girl from the Dark Brotherhood and hiding out in a mill, and just sat and listened to his story for a bit. I also found a sort of hippie-ish follower who makes little comments about her religion whenever we go to a place that's relevant to her. I was rooting through an abandoned tower and a Khajiit came out of the shadows and started talking to me about learning new fighting styles. I'm surprised at how much content there is for each, and where they're placed in the world. So far I haven't found a badly voice acted one yet; the worst I've found so far is "not entirely convincing but still pretty good".

Last I tried it, it felt hit-or-miss. Most of the voice acting was okay, but some had noticeably "off" recording. Not horrible, but they stuck out. Some of the new NPCs added a lot of flavor, but a few were memorable in a bad way. There was a man in Wildhelm, the most racist city in Skyrim, that talked at length about his half-orc wife who also happened to be his daughter. There was no option to call him out.

Some of them are really really really poo poo, but then again some of them are really really good. A specially the "Raven of Anvil" quest line is fantastic with some really good singing in it, here's a snippet: https://soundcloud.com/kris-takahashi/dusk-on-anvil-harbor-by-kelly Most of the NPCs are pretty average voice actors, so they will generally be better than the vanilla voice actors. I just click as fast as i can through the lovely ones and see if any quests pop up. One of the better things about the mod is that it will generally take you to parts of Skyrim that you would never think to visit on your own instead of putting everything in Whiterun. Can get a bit annoying that they are so super super chatty compared to the vanilla dialogue trees, but all in all i recommend the mod.

Yeah, Interesting NPCs has some really good bits, and the quests are often a lot better than the original game's. There are a few followers with full conversation trees that unfold as you play through the main quest as well, though I'm not sure how many. There are stand out bad parts, but not because of the voice acting. Usually it's because they're ~so wacky and random~, like there's a nord who insists he's a giant, or a woman who sits in a cage because she likes meeting all the people who roll through and kill the local bandits. But there are just as many who do fit in, so I say go for it.

Did you put the skse scripts in your skyrim data folder? The SKSE download will have the dlls and a data folder you need to merge into your skyrim data folder for the papyrus sripts to work. Alternately is Skyrim performance monitor starting skyrim or the skse launcher? You need to run skse_loader.exe for skse to work.

I'm having a SPERG issue. I took the perk to allow more then 5 levels of training. Then I trained about 30 pts of Alteration. That worked great. Now, however, each trainer only allows me to train 5 pts per level again. I checked the readme but can't find anything on this. Has this happened to anyone else? Update: I think I fixed it by resetting the speech perk tree in Apocrypha and re-enabling the perk. I can train 99 times per level now. chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 25, 2014 |
