I noticed there is a change log out for a new version of the USKP dated 9/27, but there is no new patch to go along with it. Is it hosted somewhere else, or is the log being updated as stuff gets worked on before release?

Kraven Moorhed posted:Hahaha good luck. If you're anything like me, you'll replace every mod you take out with something else. Since this turned out to be 100% true for my mod purge I'll post a few things I added to replace some of the stuff I got rid of. Horses On Patrol I love this one. For some reason I get a huge kick out of passing a patrol on the road, and it makes having a horse feel more natural when you aren't the only one riding one. The already-mentioned Follower Goes on a Trip I haven't played around with this one extensively yet, so unfortunately have not had the chance to rescue any of my followers yet. It seems pretty neat so far though. Jaxonz Renamer which is an excellent companion to the Positioner. Rename all the barrels! Solitude - The Tower of the Wolf Started a new character so I needed a new player house. This adds a 3-floor apartment to a tower near the main gate. Externally it's pretty unobtrusive, there's a door in the stairwell and balcony up on the tower. It is also free, you just walk in and take over. It has lots of bookshelves and a fair number of weapon displays, compact crafting stations on the first floor including one of those tiny cookpot smelters, a pretty cute bathroom that isn't overly elaborate (and is a great place to drop a well bucket if you're using iNeed), and a double bed upstairs and room for one follower downstairs. I found the clutter and some of the furniture to be pretty uninspired but that has made it a great blank slate for redecorating. I'd say if you need a starter home and want to live in Solitude it would be worth checking out. It also plays well with Dawn of Solitude and Better Entrances because I'm using both of those this time and haven't had any issues. I also added that castle player home near Solitude mentioned upthread and then promptly forgot I added it; ran across it last night and had a little WTF moment wondering where that castle came from. My character is only level 5 right now because I've been playing Skyrim Interior Decorator Sim instead of killing stuff so I haven't been inside it yet.

So earlier in the thread someone posted a pair of mods that looked interesting and now I can't find them. One was a new levelling system that just gave you experience points for doing stuff which you would then use to buy skill ranks, the other was a new stat system that calculated health, stamina, magicka and probably some other things based on stats which were themselves derived from various skills. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

What are the recommended combat mods for skyrim these days? Either as combat overhauls, or little extra things you and enemies can do, or just pure visuals? I know there was one that just tried to add some visuals when you hit something to give it some impact, but I forgot the name of it.

^^^ Visual impact sounds like TK Hitstop. Combat evolved, ultimate combat overhaul, SkyRe's combat overhaul and Duel are all possible combat mods. Combat evolved supposedly works with any of the others and enhances them, but I haven't tried it myself. As far as extra things, TK Combat is interesting if you want magic powers that you can use on-the-fly with a weapon out. It's script-based (bleh) but it works by an action key. The direction you're moving plus the action key use different powers, kind of like power attacks.

Hi guys. I recently got back into Skyrim after discovering the Requiem mod to make it a bit more of a old school TES game. I downloaded Frostfall-RND-Hunterborn to go with it and was having a blast until I noticed I was unable to make the Stone Axes or repair broken axes that Frostfall introduced. Annnnd then I noticed that some of my Hunterborn items were not appearing on the crafting list either. So I changed my load order around a bit and suddenly it was working again; then this morning I found out I had the Requiem Survival Experience esp loading too early so I moved that and found that my potions had been fixed to the requiem style of potion but that I lost a large chunk of the craft from Hunterborn and Frostfall again. I also acquired Even Better Quest objectives but have not managed to get them working at all. I am now very lost and confused about what order I need to load my stuff in and I can't make head nor tail of the load order FAQs for each mod because they all say different things and I am very stupid. A friend told me to use the Mod Organisers sort function but it doesn't appear to help. Can someone please tell me where I have gone wrong and what order these should go in? Here is a link to the order they are currently in after running Skyrim Mod Organisers LOOT thingy: http://i.imgur.com/RhVsLHc.jpg

If you do, check to see if it needs to move things around more in there. Don't lock the load order of mods like that, though. From my understanding, LOOT knows which order the mods should go in and will put things in the right order in almost all cases. I also see you don't have a bashed patch at the bottom there. That might be why you're having conflicts.

I also acquired Even Better Quest objectives but have not managed to get them working at all. All of those RND/Hunterborn/Frostfall patches are supplanted by the Requiem Survival Experience(All you need are the three main mods themselves and then that one patch) which is probably causing the current problem you are facing, which is why reading the mod pages is important. Other things I've noticed, Requiem was updated to 1.8(.1) recently and most of the compatibility patches for it haven't been updated to that yet so you should probably disable those because I know that guys patches have yet to be updated. These are some unofficial ones that have been updated to 1.8, they should work. Any other you'll have to check and make sure they've been updated in the last month or so. And yeah there are a few missing, unfortunately you either have to play without those mods or downgrade to Requiem 1.7.3. I believe Requiem also already includes the stuff that Convenient Crossbows does, as well as a Brawl Bugs fix, I don't believe that sorting mods are compatible with Requiem due to their sheer amount of item editing(and that ones compatibility patches haven't been updated in a year), and the main Requiem file should really be near the end of your load order with the comp patches(that are updated to the patch) only after it(LOOT gets this one wrong). Edit: Also did you rerun the Requiem SkyProc patch after messing with your load order? You should always update it after messing with your mods(remember to run it in admin mode).

Is anyone successfully using Combat Evolved? I've been pleased with the combination of Ultimate Combat and Revenge of the Enemies so far, but wanted to try adding Combat Evolved after watching a Brodual video on it. It behaves strangely for me, though. When I activate Combat Evolved and load up a saved game I get the "mods from this save have been removed" message even though all I've done is activate the one new ESP for Combat Evolved. And then when I load into the game, all of my other mods' initialization scripts start running as if they've been installed for the first time. It's really strange, and I am going without Combat Evolved for now, but wondering why it would be conflicting with all of my other mods in this way. I am using the recommended load order for combat mods as listed on the Combat Evolved page, too.

Kikka posted:Is there an "essentials" mod list for an improved Skyrim experience? This varies from person to person so much that it's best to just peruse the OP and pick what sounds best to you. You'll have your people saying SPERG, some saying Requiem, and some saying Skyrim Redone. Some people will say combat should be fast and brutal to the point that dual wielding is a bad idea because you NEED blocking to survive a fight. If you absolutely must have an "essentials" list, check the second post of the thread and start with that "first time playthrough" list of mods. From there, you could go to STEP and see if STEP Core is the sort of thing you're looking for.

I'd definitely recommend Mod Organizer if you've not used it before. It looks a little obtuse at first glance but really helps with keeping everything organized, which for me means easier to keep things stable. Also make sure you're running the SKSE.ini fix: FadedReality posted:As long as you're using the most current version of SKSE, just add this to your skse.ini: Well, basically, do everything in this guide here.

Positronic Spleen posted:If one plans to use this mod, I highly suggest testing it before starting a serious run with it. This mod made every new save take 30 seconds to load, up from 3-5 seconds (on an SSD). This applies to saves made after loading an affected save even after uninstalling. Old saves worked just fine, I always used the default number of cells indoors and outdoors, I have no idea what the hell is wrong with this game sometimes. Always test mods with DLL files before extensive use, and hard-save often. I added that mod to my game at the same time that I did every other performance and stability related fix so I assumed it was that mod making my game more stable. I just did some A/B testing and yeah, my load times are way better without that mod. I loaded from an interior cell to the first exterior cell of the session in under 10 seconds, when with that mod it was closer to 20-30. I just assumed I was running so many scripts that it took a while. I'll play more later and see if I stay stable running around outside.

So I recently gave SkyRe a try and loved it, it has it's problems but it's the most fun I've had in Skyrim in ages. So then I decided to give Requiem a try and yeah, it's the worst experience I've ever had in Skyrim. The font is incredibly annoying, combat is a boring slog, perks are pretty much the same as vanilla except with vague and useless writing, and it has a load of "roleplaying" features that do nothing but make the game awful to actually play. Running(as in not holding the walk button) drains your stamina, no fast travel, you can't wear a single piece of armor without making your spells prohibitively expensive unless you delve deep into the armor perk trees, there's no default health regen at all for most races and your stamina/magicka regen incredibly slowly which means that a mage can only cast a spell for like 3 seconds max at the start and it does almost no damage and then you have to wait 10 minutes to recharge, and did I mention that the font is incredibly awful? SkyRe combat feels dangerous and fair, Requiem combat feels like your weapons are made of silly string and your enemies are wearing plate armor.

Kikka posted:Is there an "essentials" mod list for an improved Skyrim experience? Mod Organizer + Wrye Bash are essential for making mods actually function together. Use Mod Organizer's sort function + create bashed patches with Wyre bash to combine lists. It's really easy to find guides on it. SPERG makes fewer changes than Requiem but it's very modular and doesn't conflict with much so if you plan on using a lot of mods I'd say SPERG. Requiem also does poo poo like delevel enemies so that the game is prohibitively difficult when you're first starting but then once you're into it everything is really weak, and change combat in ways like Zeron mentioned to make it not fun. Combat mods are all just personal preference. I use Ultimate Combat but it can be very punishing for people who use light armor and don't block. For absolute essentials get the unofficial patches for the base game and any DLC that you have. If you're using a mouse + keyboard SkyUI is basically essential too. If you plan on using followers, vanilla or not, Extensible Follower Framework makes them less terrible and lets you customize a ton of things about them without really having any downsides. For less essential things but things that you are better off having, there are a lot that I just can't play without anymore. For more monsters download Immersive Creatures, none of the monsters look out of place and you don't get poo poo like Khajit heads pasted onto cat bodies for enemies like you do in MoMod. If you're into killmoves download VioLens, it's replaced A Dance of Death as the "good killmove mod". Dragon Soul Relinquishment is a very good mod late game because dragon souls end up becoming absolutely pointless without it. If you plan as playing as a vampire, Better Vampires, for werewolves Moonlight Tales. For absolutely non-essential but still nice to have armors/weapons, immersive armors and immersive weapons are both very very nice. Unique Uniques also goes through and changes the models for most of the unique weapons in the game so that they actually look different and special. It's a nice touch. The Bandoliers mod adds a ton of craftable pouches that you can wear together to raise your max carry weight without feeling like you're cheating. Cloaks of Skyrim + Winter Is Coming are both good mods that add cloaks that play nicely together.

No fast travel I've actually gotten used to with faster horses, so long as my mods are setup right so I don't crash often. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Oct 11, 2014 |

It's really easy to find guides on it. Added links for convenience since this is a really good list. Other things I'd add, you need SKSE to get most of those mods to work, OneTweak lets you set up borderless windowed mode, Forgotten Magic Redone has a bunch of spells that are both unique and that level up as you use them to allow you to customize them to a great extent, and of course Autosave Manager which is essential to the saving and loading experience.
