GunnerJ posted:So what is the real story on the "Dragon Combat Overhaul" and "Civil War Overhaul," and I guess the rest of apollodown's mods? It's about as tough to cut through the I've tried CDO and I wasn't all that impressed with the way it worked. It adds in optional ranged attack animations that can trigger on any old bow shot. What that translates to is a random ultra sikk 360 slow mo around your guy as he fires a bow. I have CWO installed but haven't really gotten into it yet. I have read all sorts of complaints about how buggy it is or how much it broke someone's game, usually followed by "what's a bashed patch? what's LOOT?" Here's what a guy on the skyrimmods subreddit said in resposne to a guy  over CWO:quote:I have extensively tested both DCO and CWO (I used to do beta for Apollo) and I can promise you that a great bulk of the issues you're having since EGO has come out are user errors. I have used DCO since it came out, ditto CWO, and, although CWO was buggy in its' first two iterations, I can say with full confidence that CWO 3.1 has Arthmoor's (the team lead for the Unofficial Patches) blessing as being an epic, soundly made, and bug free revitalization of the Civil War questline. You can huff and puff about it all you want, but it won't change the fact that you very likely are to blame for whatever issues you're having...

hugbox raving as it is to decipher his nonsense descriptions, but the the overall message seems to be that despite the author's personal "quirks," the mods are ambitious and do fun things but are prone to bugs because what they try to do is necessarily very difficult.

Only problem I've had with CWO was that if I get with in a mile of Riften I get a million guards trying to slaughter me, and the gates are locked; so I had to console bypass the quest where I'm supposed to do spy stuff in the keep. No idea what was causing that issue... No idea what's going to happen after I take the city.

For people using the Positioner mod, do you have any issues with NPC pathing in your homes?

I tried wearing a stormcloak uniform and it didn't help. I thought it was the faction thing, but the quest kind of necessitated I get into a hostile city, so yeah. Little flaw in the system. Tried killing the guards, even. But they had no keys to the city on them.

I've tried deactivating every mod outside of Climates (and some things that won't interfere, like UI mods, SPERG etc) to see where the conflict is. There's no conflict. Climates of Tamriel straight up doesn't work, or at least the darker nights options won't work. Looking through the internet, I'm not the first person to have that problem, but gently caress if anyone knows how to fix it. I've tried downloading some other mod, but that one just turns down all the light values at night, so you end up with very little light but a bright blue sky  This is starting to frustrate me.

I'm having a strange issue in the PC version i hope can be fixed. I'm doing a Conjurer/Enchanter playthrough and the problem relates to enchanting. I go through the standard process of selecting the item, enchantment and soul gem, but when i "Press 'R' to create item" nothing happens. I've heard custom animations creates issues with enchanting and smithing, and i do have the cold exposure mod installed, but as i understood it that would have prevented me from "using" the enchanting table entirely, and i have no trouble getting into and using the UI, right up to the point where i need to finish and create the item. Thanks very much for reading and hopefully helping.

Just wanted to drop a line to say thanks to the thread. Reinstalled Skyrim about two weeks ago and went out of my way to do things right. Did everything through Mod Organizer, cleaned the bigger mods through TESedit, went through the process of getting FNIS and other combat animations working etc. Modcount is now somewhere north of 150, but Skyrim is completely stable and totally gorgeous. Hardest part was getting good framerate out of ENB. My mistake was thinking that just tweaking ENB settings the right way would solve the problem. It turns out that you have to overtly direct which functions get handled by the video card's drivers, which functions get handled by skyrim, and which functions get handled by ENB. Once I fiddled with my video card's skyrim profile a bit using nVidiaInspector, my framerate stays right around ~50 with ENB on, despite having a old graphics card (GTX 460). Done modding, happy player.

If so try pressing whatever you rebound it to. Alternatively try resetting all your bindings and trying it again.

I don't know much about CoT, but go into TESVEdit, load all your plugins (if you run TESVEdit through MO you're fine and it will do so automatically), and right click anywhere and hit "apply filter for cleaning." This will take some time but will highlight any and all conflicts for you. Then just go to whatever mod you feel isn't working, open it up, and check and see what is and is not overwritten. You can drag and drop settings from one mod into another, making your own custom merged patches that way.

Gentlegoons, I was wondering if anyone would mind trying out a mod I made and giving me some feedback. It's a simple Legend of Zelda mod i put together combining some other mods i found plus a few re-textures I did, was based on a LoZ armor mod that just replaced the thieves guild outfit leader texture. Rather then use that along with the bonuses it provided I made it a unique set that's craftable and then threw a couple of swords, bows and the Hylian shield in for good measure. Mod here: https://mega.co.nz/#!odUR3A6S!Ut0eaqzYxokhrHkO6Faqps3zxA5cgTmbeTo14LmOOHQ Screen shots:    Have to type type up the list on how to craft each item but for now I made a cell with a chest in it that has everything in it, to get to it type: coc ZeldaTest and everything should be in the chest I've just warped out of the cell using "coc whiterun" when done Also,i'm using Dual Sheath redux and FINIS to put the swords on your back as some of the original meshes have scabbards that float next to you when your sword is equipped. I've given up trying to make the shield go on your back when not using it, spent 4 hours trying to get it to play nice and doesn't seem worth it after that. Thoughts? Ideas? Criticisms? Don't quit my day job? (First mod ever, holy crap does the creation kit crash a lot.) Retrograde fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 25, 2014 |

I'm just amazed you got nifscope to take in a model without loving everything up when it's imported. Dear god, nifscope is terrible.  I'll try out your mod tonight, and let you know what I think (for what that's worth ) The recolored thief equipment looks nice, good work. The wooden-looking sword looks terrible though, sorry to say. SystemLogoff fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Oct 25, 2014 |

Ha i imagine Nifscope is pretty finicky as well, I only played around for it a little bit. All the models I found from existing skyrim mods on the nexus, that's probably why the wood sword isn't very good as well, I'm pretty sure it lacks a normal map like the other weapons and I haven't figured out how to make one yet! Thanks for checking it out!

I've been having what seems like a common issue when using Project ENB with SSAO enabled. Although none of the forum threads I've found have been completely useful. As a result I just started tinkering and thought that I should post the results here in case there are others with the issues. Obviously the easiest solution would be to just disable Ambient Occlusion, but I didn't want to do that. First off, with Project ENB and the .dll linked in the readme, using SSAO in Skyrim can result in the weapon/hand/shield transparency issue. Invisible Hands/Weapons  Project ENB + SSAO cause transparency. In this image it's only a small portion of the weapon that's invisible, although when standing outside I could see straight through the entire weapon (both handle and blade) when I stood close to a wall in Riverwood. To solve the above issue I just used an updated version of the d3d9.dll. The weapons/hands/shields were no longer transparent. However, I still had to deal with the other side effect which was a blue glow... Blue Weapon Glow  I found a few solutions for this blue glow. Although none were ideal. The first and most effective solution was to set the value of fNear1stPersonDistance to 0 (fNear1stPersonDistance=0.0000). At 0 there is no blue glow. However, this also causes issues when light is cast onto your weapon. When standing beside a light source fNear1stPersonDistance=5 will let your weapon naturally reflect the light but fNear1stPersonDistance=0.0000 will not. At 0 your weapon won't be in a permanent shadow because within certain areas/light sources fNear1stPersonDistance=0.0000 allows the weapon to illuminate but it's not consistent, so it's hard to tell if setting it to 0 makes a difference - your weapon won't be completely black but it won't respond to every light source. Changing this value to 0 does have a noticeable impact even though some forums report that there is no negative change. Changing this value to a low number seems like the easiest solution. I set fNear1stPersonDistance to 2 and the blue glow was significantly less noticeable and light reflection was still present on the weapon, but the light/shadows cast on the weapon were a little inaccurate. Much better than choosing between unlit weapons at 0 and a large blue glow at 5 though. Second, ForceFakeVideoCard=false is said to fix the issue but this solution is not recommended. Third, apparently enabling FXAA has removed the blue glow for some people. Fourth and in my mind the best albeit tedious solution, changing the sky box setting will remove the blue glow. I found that the blue glow only appears in certain shadowed areas. So far the issue seems to be exclusively indoors and particularly in areas with a certain sky box configuration. Toggling the sky box ('ts' in console) will completely remove the glow. I've found a mod to reconfigure the sky box of all indoor areas but apparently it only works with ATI. I'm on nVIDIA and my game won't even launch with the mod. An nVIDIA compatible mod would be the ideal solution to this issue though because manually typing in the console for all the indoor areas is a pain. Hair Layers Changed Color With AO With SSAO enabled the layers of a characters hair were different colors. The top layer was the set color, while the layer underneath (against the scalp) was a light color.  This was addressed by changing two settings in the enbseries.ini. Within enbseries.ini, go to the SSAO_SSIL section and set both ILAmount and ILAmountInterior to 0. This restores the under layer of the hair to its natural color and allows you to keep using the Ambient Occlusion option. SolitarySolidarity fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Oct 26, 2014 |

I thought that Project ENB was tanking my game performance because after I enter a new cell my frame rate goes to poo poo for maybe five or six seconds, made worse if it's night time and my followers pull out their torches but I made a fresh patched file in TES5Edit today and that eliminated a decent amount of it. I'm sure I can tweak some more stuff and really smooth it out, still reading the documentation on ENB and TES5 to figure out the finer points.

Do you guys help with load order in this thread? I've installed Climates of Tamriel & Realistic Lighting Overhaul. With that combination the RLO dev recommends a certain load order but LOOT completely mangles it every time I run it. I'm also nervous as I just installed SkyRe for the first time (non-DLC version so no ReProccer) and I'm not familiar with that type of overhaul when it comes to compatibility. I've also got Immersive Armors/Weapons.  That's my load order as recommended in the RLO post. I haven't run Wrye Bash yet though.

Would I be better off to just start from scratch? I would. I'm in the same position. I hadn't played in months and just decided to start from scratch. Most of my mods had tons of editions released which patched various bugs and incompatibility issues. Although updated mods can create more incompatibilities with others. I think a modded Skyrim is the one game you want as bug free as possible.
