They're even more unrealistic than most of the 1 and 2 hander executions. No throat punches or nose-bone-to-the-brain-palmstrikes? No five finger death punch to the heart, or kano heart tear out? Such potential.

I have no idea what is causing this but it is impossible to play if the sun isn't out. I looked at this page that the entire internet tells you to consult. Except how do I find what active spell/shader ID's are active? The only buffs I have are item enchants and the Mage Stone. The cloud is still there without any armor/weapons equipped. And I am unsure when I got all glowy. I don't use any visual effects changing mods, but I do have Apocalypse Magic. Any suggestions? I am stumped.

What's up with CWO? I went to download it a moment ago and found that the page has been hidden. It mentions something about an "Epic Gameplay Overhaul" that's supposed to be out soon and include it. Please don't tell me CWO is being rolled into some huge supermod.

Went to SkyRe's Nexus page to see about getting a new version to mess around with, and I ended up following a link from a year ago to T3ndo's "successor" project, Perkus Maximus, 'cus I was certain there'd be boatloads of postmortem Nexus depression.

Turns out it's just about ready to exit beta on the 11th. Huh. Now to hunt down what this mod actually does. The facebook page doesn't help much.

It wasn't this mod but I did see a comment on a Nexus page that because the author was releasing so many updates they had run out of room on the Nexus page so would be posting update comments on Facebook.

I've started a new game with Climates of Tamriel and Frostfall installed, and I have a question for anyone familiar with those two mods. I've just went up the path to the first mini dungeon to get that guys dragon claw and a blizzard comes I guess as part of frostfall. However the snow looks terrible, far from what I recall the storms looking like last time I played. Is this something Frostfall specific or is it a setting in CoT that I haven't set correctly? Ruins the whole survival aspect to see this lovely snow buzzing around.

He apparantly is launching an update for all his "epic overhaul" mods, which CWO is part of.

He took down all his old versions because (???). (The answer is Aspergers.)
Seriously, have you seen the descriptions he puts on his mods? That guy is not right in the head.

I don't think Frostfall generates weather. I run both of these and don't have any problems with the way the snow looks. Screenshot?

The blizzard is part of the game, not Frostfall. You should consider getting Supreme Storms by MannyGT, the Weather Patch for CoT, and the Supreme Storms Weather Patch (should be a part of that first Weather Patch).

I think I can kinda see why he might have done this because he is very adamant about never upgrading his mods in the middle of a playthrough. So if he's about to release a new version, he figures it's best to prevent anyone from starting a new game with the old version maybe?

Yeah I am mainly thinking of CWO and DCO here. I'm not sure about the others either.

I know that can be particularly important with Civil War Overhaul due to how the vanilla version is coded, not sure about the others though.

It looks a bit weird in the stills but it's like the snow is just super low quality. I've only got the base CoT installed I guess that could be the reason it looks strange to me.

Ahh thanks for the clarification. Upon further reflection I may have had something installed in my previous playthrough to make it look nice and that's why it was initially so jarring. Going to get those mods and the SNOW retexture and see what it does.

Installing those mods made all the difference, one final question for you guys before I think I have all this sorted out. Seems like Real Shelter ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52612/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D52612&pUp=1 ) would be a good addition to this playthrough as well, but it seems like you need TES5Edit installed to use it. I've managed to create the startup for TES5Edit in ModOrganizer, but will I have to run Skyrim through that rather than SKSE? Seems like maybe the mod isn't compatible with the other stuff that will require SKSE (like S.P.E.R.G).

Edit: I'm a bit of a dingus I didn't realize TES5Edit only operated from within Mod organizer and wasn't a launcher. Ignore

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Speaking of Climates of Tamriel, how do you guys think it and Pure Weather compare with each other? More and more ENB presets are using Pure Weather as their visual base, and the comment sections aren't exactly the best place to find more detailed comparisons.

NMM is fine. MOD Organizer is lovely and unintuitive and touts itself as a superior organizer because it is less GUI driven.

Looks like Wyre Bash listed the flora respawn fix as a problem, though only by having its checkbox in red. I unloaded it and it works ok now. The unofficial dawnguard and dragonborn patches both have orange checkboxes and I'm not sure what that means.

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.
Still working through getting the basic mods works (a lot of college poo poo distracting me so I'm being pretty loving slow)

Right now, tried to install SkyUI through MOD organizer and got this

quote:

This report informs you about potential problems with your SkyUI installation.

Fix these problems , then press 'Refresh' to confirm that they're gone.
After all problems have been resolved, you can continue with the installation.

-----------
Problem #1:
-----------
The SKSE scripts are missing.

Potential causes:
* You didn't install the scripts with the rest of SKSE.

Solution:
1. Re-install SKSE. Make sure you extract the 'Data/' folder from the downloaded archive to your Skyrim installation directory.

But I have SKSE installed using the installer, so is this a false problem or did I not do something properly?

Apologies again if this stuff is obvious, again super new to modding

Does anyone know how to tell if Better Shaped Weapons is working? I liked the idea of having swords that weren't boat paddle wide, so I downloaded it, but I can't remember what the vanilla swords looked like.

Also BOSS is no longer listed on the nexus.

Is there a way I can download the dragon mask fix linked in the OP as a standalone from the workshop and use it through mod manager? It seems like all I can do on the page is subscribe and I assume this will download it through steam, but will this gently caress with the rest of the mods I have installed already?

It won't gently caress anything up. After subscribing to the mod, start the Skyrim Launder and it'll download the mod. Once that's done, the mod will show up normally in whatever mod manager tool you're using.

Note that it will be downloaded to your Data folder. If you're using MO and want keep the Data folder pristine. You can unsubscribe to the mod after downloading and move the .esp (and optionally the .bsa) from the Data folder to MO's mod folder.

The usual Hunterborn/Frostfall/Realistic Needs and Diseases stack is where it's at, and they work crazily well together. The Northern Ranger camping kit is also pretty nice if you want to set up a permanent encampment in the wilderness to operate from, but for a more nomadic style the stuff included in Frostfall/Hunterborn is more than adequate.

Edit: that said, for an actual playthrough as a psychotic madman, Imp's More Complex Needs allows you to get considerable sustenance from eating hearts. :v:

Good suggestions but I'd also recommend iNeed as a great eat/drink/sleep needs mod, it seems to be the newer, better alternative.

I'm finding that I rarely ever use Hunterborn or the camping kit in my current play through but Frostfall, iNeed and Cloaks really add some enjoyable depth to the game.
