Yeah the PerMa patch thing includes a version of the uncapper if you want to use that. For the fluffy perk descriptions thing this replaces the descriptions with the ones from the documentation. I'm using this for a food booster thing, it looks decently useful without replacing the function of potions(although I have yet to see any of the recipes you get at a higher level).

Just installed PerMa, and the descriptions totally ruined it for me, so thank god for the de-fluffing. Reading each description was awful; some of them gave me no better idea of what the perk actually did. I legit resent T3nd0 now because of them.

SnoochtotheNooch posted:So I had a mini freakout and began disabling mods in my bigass stack when I continuously crashed around the Falkreath Home area. I ended up unsubbing and deleting "RNG (Dynamic) Guards" when I tried loading it up again and seeing all the town guards were naked. I tried resubbing the mod after deleting it but it looks like they are all still naked. Anyone know of a fix to this? Looks like google returns nothing useful. Guards remain in game for a number of days until their respawn timer hits. Until then, guards will be naked without the mod running. To force it quicker, you can manually refresh guards by going up to a guard, opening the console, clicking the guard to get his ID, then typing disable, then enable. Someone please correct my use of console commands, as I am doing this from distant memory while at work.

I followed STEP 2.2.9, then added a lot of mods I personally enjoy, and somehow I can actually run a game and it's not crashing after a few minutes. Amazing. I optimized load order with LOOT, but MO and Wrye are still giving me a few minor warnings: from MO... Move Flora Respawn Fix - Harvest Overhaul Version after Civil War Overhaul Move Timing is Everything - Quest Delay and Timing Control after Flora Respawn Fix - Harvest Overhaul Version Move Traps Make Noise - More Dangerous Traps after Timing is Everything - Quest Delay and Timing Control Move When Vampires Attack after Traps Make Noise - More Dangerous Traps Move Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade after When Vampires Attack Move Ars Metallica - Smithing Enhancement after Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade Move Provincial Courier Service after Ars Metallica - Smithing Enhancement Move The Paarthurnax Dilemma after Provincial Courier Service Move Alternate Start - Live Another Life after The Paarthurnax Dilemma Move SkyUI after Thunderchild - Epic Shouts and Immersion Move Aurora - Standing Stones of Skyrim after SkyUI Move Spectraverse - Magic of the Magna-Ge after Aurora - Standing Stones of Skyrim Move Dwemertech - Magic of the Dwarves after Spectraverse - Magic of the Magna-Ge Move Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim after Dwemertech - Magic of the Dwarves from Wrye, master index vs LO (orange warnings): Thunderchild's Wyrmstooh patch expected Thunderchild to be loaded before Wyrmstooth some AOS compat patches expected AOS to be loaded before the other mods (Realistic Water, Wet And Cold, Guard Dialogue Overhaul) Who to trust about load order? I figured LOOT was the BOSS replacement and should be solid. But, if the mods have internal notes that give different advice...? I ended up not loading SPERG or Perkus Maximus. My first run in a long time without some kind of perk revamp. Plenty of other gameplay mods, though. I'm looking forward to giving Civil War Overhaul a try, and a bunch of standalone quests/dungeons/expansions I never finished before (Falskaar, Wyrmstooth, Dragonborn DLC, etc).

I should have mentioned the best part. Gromits changes the flat healing bonuses to regeneration percentages. For example, instead of a potato healing 5 hp or whatever, it now causes hp to regenerate 5% faster. Food now becomes a viable restorative element even into late game since it will scale along with your own regen rates.

I never upgraded it, because, with the version I was using, that required a new game, so I can't speak to the quality of later versions. It also changes A LOT of stuff in the game. Load it up in TES5Edit and behold the conflicts. It's a cool concept and the newer version might make a lot of improvements. If he hasn't removed one-shotting bandits then excluding it from ASIS might be a good idea. Does Hothtrooper44 still post here? Regarding Immersive Armors, is it correct that the version of Dragonbone Ebonsteel in IA doesn't have the alternate gauntlets ,boots, and breastplate that the original mod has? I ended up disabling it in IA and just using the original mod so I could have those. Alasyre fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Nov 12, 2014 |

So I just started playing around with Skyrim again for the first time in a while, and some orc just ran up to me and invited me to join the Dawnguard (it created a quest and map marker and everything), which is a bit strange since I don't actually own the Dawnguard DLC. It doesn't show up in my list of DLC in Steam, but there is a Dawnguard.esm file in my game that didn't used to be there, as far as I can recall. Is this some sort of teaser or demo to try to get people to buy the DLC, or did I accidentally  Dawnguard via some poorly assembled Nexus mod or something?

Your post made me look it up, and it appears that at one point Steam hosed up and released the Dawnguard.esm to everyone as a free update. They took it down again quickly but if you were logged into Steam at the right time you downloaded the file, although Steam doesn't think you own the expansion. Since you supposedly don't own the expansion, it isn't removed by Steam's uninstaller. Thus, as long as you don't physically delete the file, you'll have access to the Dawnguard content, and it's not even since it's Steam's fuckup.

So some new mods that I've been messing around with for my Perkus Maximus run. Bounty Gold which is a simple thing that lets you set(through MCM) the base gold that completing a bounty(separated into Bandit/Forsworn/Dragon/Giant) and then add a certain amount of gold for each level you are at to compensate for any scaling. Functional Homes which instead of messing with creating a new house or any of that simply adds a bunch of containers to every player house that are all connected with each other, as well as a luggage chest that also appears in every inn. There's also a Dragon Mask display which is a bit bloaty but overall it's pretty handy.

I haven't tried SUM yet, but putting the PaMa folder in the SkyProc Patchers folder of my Skyrim install instead of ModOrganizer seemed to help. It was actually importing things and making the patch...until it got to scroll and staff creation, where it gave me another NullPointerException. Same as before, this is only a test with no other mods involved. Once I finish wrestling with this, though, Functional Homes is definitely going on my list. EDIT: Opening it through ModOrganizer, which i finally figured out how to do, finally got it to work. A glorious victory for idiots everywhere.

They should be roughly equivalent. Thankfully, the newest versions of MO have a feature to automatically fix mod order, there should be a button on that warning screen. Right-hand pane mod order is basically "install order." It's the order MO uses to create the virtual directory.

Well, today was the day I did it, the day when I finally hosed up Skyrim to the point of no return and had to completely gut my install folder, delete every one of my saves and start over from scratch. That's Skyrim! But seriously, everyone but me probably already figured this out but if you use Nexus Mod Manager do not loving delete the folder in Games with all the mod .zip files. They're not useless leftovers and NMM will poo poo the bed if they're missing, and you'll have to redownload everything and it will probably stop working altogether.

Oh, I think it's a safe bet that it'll find a way to be hosed somehow. :gamebryo: IMO the best thing you can do is start over from scratch, installing the base game/DLC/Utilities/Unofficial patches, and take a good, long look at the list of mods you want to use, cutting down as much as you can on the script-heavy stuff and big content additions. Honestly the best way to go, if you want to have a seamless experience start to finish, is to use as few mods as possible.
