Just be sure to use Papyrus Data Transfer occasionally to check your save game health (with regard to scripts, at least). And use it every single time you remove a mod that has even one script just to check for and remove any unwanted leftovers. Even mods with uninstall options can leave stuff behind, but this tool can fix it. Edit: Unless your processor is old, then it might be wise to keep them to a minimum.

Praetorian Mage posted:Wouldn't replacing the FormID change what the spell does as well? I only want to change the visual effect. In TES5Edit every 'record' looks like a big excel spreadsheet. A lot of sub-records are basically a hyperlink to some other record; which is referenced by the FormId like (e.g. a url, with our browser analogy). You can see when you right click and 'edit' a sub-record it gives some fluff information but off to the right in [] is a FormId. You can replace the entire contents of that edit dialog with another FormId and it will basically point to a new sub-record. Note you need to replace it with a similar record-type, otherwise you could have issues or at worst CTDs. Ergo find the spell you want (oakflesh), I believe the thing that's bothering you will be one of it's magic effects (I always get the spell components/records backwards, so YMMV), so figure out which one it is. Then figure out a different magic effect that you like you can replace it with, copy it's FormId and replace the disease flesh one. Voila. It's all pretty obvious and self explanatory once you do it a couple times.

Is there any ENB presets that arent particularly heavy on resources, just adding a little DoF and Sharpening, instead of adding everything and the kitchen sink? The 4 top rated ones on Nexus just make my game crawl along.

Agents are GO! posted:Found your problem. For what ever reason NMM insists that you don't delete those precious .zip files even if you have the .bsa files, meshes, etc. all set up in your Data folder. Either that or it simply looks for the Games/Nexus Mod Manager/Skyrim folder. But I fixed everything by deleting every single thing related to Skyrim except saves and the NMM folder in Games, installing the game again, copy-pasting my Skyrim folder back-up into the Steam directory, checking the .bsas I wanted to load and then launching. I think the issue was probably just something to do with a mod update breaking my game for whatever reason. But Nexus Mod Manager wasn't helping matters.

If you find that one in TesEdit you can right click the TNAM entry and choose remove and it will fix it. They probably misclicked or something. Its really my bad since I should check for that since it seems fairly common and skyrim seems fine with a blank.

Hey all, I am trying to make a small mod that adds randomized enemy adventurers to dungeons. Part of my mod I want to make it so the adventurers are very unique. To do this I decided to make it so they have randomized bits of equipment. So for example an adventurer would be wearing either dwarven or ebony or steel armor. I also Make it so the adventurers may no be wearing helmets or gloves with different probabilities. Is there a better way to implement this than nested leveled lists? It seems quite the hassle to make A leveled list for all the possible outfits containing a leveled list for each armor set that contains a chest, boots, and then a leveled list for gloves and a leveled list for a helmet.

Should I have installed it after making the patch? If you're using Mod Organizer, make sure the install order (left pane) has the patch loading after Perkus Maximus. It doesn't affect the patch itself, as the Patchus esp contains edits to items that Patchus made. You want Defluffing's ESPs to replace the base Perkus modules, so they come after (or replace them if you're using NMM). Edit: Also gently caress Tendo for using Latin in his mod name. Now every instance of "esp" sends me straight back to learning verb tenses.

That code is a mess but I'm really confused by it since it clearly does have keywords and that shouldn't be null even if it didn't, just empty. And if the armor was null it should have broken before that. Is it somehow confusing the lack of a template as a template? And I never moved Lootification from google code. The stuff I'm working on is the JSON branch but there is a ton of crap in it too. And some things don't have traces yet.

From the OPquote:Unofficial Dragonborn Patch: Fixes for the Dragonborn DLC IT SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING THAT YOU NEED THE DLC INSTALLED (IF YOU HAVE DRAGONBORN, MAKE SURE YOU LOAD THIS PATCH’S BSA AFTER THE USKP BSA OR IT WILL BREAK DRAGON SOUL ABSORPTION) Does this mean Dragonborn's patch should have higher or lower priority in MO? After could mean lower priority or so that it overwrites USKP or is this a non issue with MO?

Ron Paul Atreides posted:Does this mean Dragonborn's patch should have higher or lower priority in MO? After could mean lower priority or so that it overwrites USKP When you place your mods in the Data folder the game loads the contents of BSA files in the same order as the corresponding .esm & .esp files. So if you sort your plugin loadorder properly, everything will be fine. Mod Organizer doesn't put mods in the Data folder. It keeps them elsewhere and presents the mods' files to the game as it boots via unholy voodoo. MO also adds an installation order (left side of the screen in MO), in addition to the plugin loadorder (right side of the screen in MO). In older versions of MO, the installation order would trump the plugin loadorder. So if you had your loadorder properly sorted, but had the USKP lower in your installation order then the UDBP, then MO would present the USKP version of the scripts to the game instead of the UDKP ones. Which would result in your computer blowing up. Well, not really. Just you not being able to absorb dragon souls. The creator of MO fixed this and it presents the BSA files to the game in same order as the corresponding plugins positions in your loadorder, regardless of the BSA files' installation order. So again: if you sort your plugin loadorder properly, everything should be fine. That all said. I'd say it's still a good idea when using MO to have your installation order follow your loadorder, unless you want certain loose files from one mod to overwrite some other mod's loose files. If only so that your force yourself to pay attention to your installation order.

Is there an .ini setting where you can change the ground foliage and grass density to something a little less extreme? I'm pretty drat happy with the way I've got the game setup right now, but drat its irritating trying to find where that last rabbit or bandit decided to die. Its like playing hide and seek with dead bodies. I know I can change the distance of it rendering, but that looks crap, I like having the grass rendering out to a distance, I just want it so that I can see things that have dropped on the ground a bit better when standing over them. Also, semi related, that Skyrim Mod Combiner is pretty much a godsend for lazy people like me. Takes a fair bit of the hastle out of getting a decent set of textures up and running.

(Note that it'll detect "sleeping" dead as well as, y'know, dead dead. Careful you don't wake the Draugr...) Spotting dropped items would be nice, especially if you (or your follower, or the dude you were shouting at, et cetera) get disarmed and you want your goddamn magic sword back... Lazy sods who use magic can always use Loot Magnet (from Apocalypse Spells) or the like. This doesn't help if you need to find the body for specific reasons, like reanimating, posing, or creepy unspecified uses.

Use this tutorial. An ITM means Identical to Master, which means that Update.esm edits a record but the edit is the same as what Skyrim.esm says, so while it technically doesn't change anything, the fact that it is edited in the first place makes it a "change." Cleaning ITMs is just an extra precaution to prevent conflicts. I forgot what UDRs are. If I recall correctly, UDRs are records that were deleted but the fact that they were deleted flags the record, which means the record is still considered altered.

If something is marked deleted, the game doesn't even load that record, and then if a script tries to interact with that record, the game crashes.

What awesome bugfix mods do I need to install to have the Perfect Bethesda RPG Experience? I think the OP is still relevant. Start with the bug fixes and patches and work your way up from there. There is no One True Modded Experience really, it's just a matter of asking yourself while playing, "What would make this game better?" and then looking for a solution on  . For some people, the answer is "This game needs SPERG and lighting overhaul!" for others, it's "This game needs flame-spewing genitalia!"

So, I want to add more background NPCs to the game. Should I install Inconsequential NPCs, Populated Cites, both or neither? Also,has anyone tried the Skyrim Scaling Stopper? (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9857) - if so, how is it? I want a more random distribution of enemy difficulty but I don't want to get curbstomped if I'm not a gaming god, because I am not a gaming god. Thank you!

I have both. Inconsequential NPCs has a few annoying ones with voice acting (I disabled the town crier in Solitude, gently caress that guy) but I really like the generic patrons and random folks it adds who mill around in the shops and inns, and the additional generic folks from Populated Cities blend in well.

 But the voice acting is intentionally hamfisted in his case, and on top of the ridiculous poo poo he's reading out (new littering penalties, etc) it makes him a huge target for various forms of humiliation. You should oblige him rather than console him out. Construct elaborate deathtraps and public spectacles. Surround him with caged wolves. Abduct him with Jaxonz Positioner and sacrifice him to your favorite Daedric prince, or just cage him up next to Heimskr and nuke them both from orbit just to be sure.

Why would turning on an ENB profile, even one with all the effects turned off, tank my FPS? It literally halves it, and makes the game very stuttery. Theres no limiter or anything similar set, FPS without ENB ~65. FPS with ENB ~28. Turning on and off different options doesn't seems to make much difference at all. Could it be a problem with AMD's, sometimes questionable, graphics drivers? Literally as soon as I toggle Global -> UseEffect to True, even without any effect actually enabled, the FPS tanks.

The only thing that's easy to miss is copying over the included Community Uncapper file so you get perks correctly. Just find it in the folder and overwrite the Skyrim Community Uncapper .ini file, other than that it couldn't be easier.

Played through Skyrim many times, this was my first time installing mods and I have probably about 20 running and holy crap does it make it a different game. The first real dungeon is located further up on a mountain, and I was already freezing to death halfway there since I was wearing barbarian armor. Even killing the bandits were a challenge since I had the bandit mod on, so half of them were invisible and cast magic. It does make everything they drop worthwhile, even food. I am actually super poor since every time I go into town I end up spending like 50g on water, a meal, and a bed. I have been looking for a decent survival game and these mods are pretty impressive! The closest thing to this level of immersion is probably a roguelike called UnReal World, but obviously Skyrim is more graphically impressive. This is such a cozy game to play now that winter is coming in.
