So what would be a good ENB preset if I was looking for something to give the game a richer, moodier feel? I've always felt like some areas(around Whiterun for example) looked really washed out and colorless. Only thing is, I'm running several HD texture packs (Book of Silence, for example) and I don't want my video card to melt or my FPS to drop so hard it tunnels through the floor.

i tend to not use ENBs because of the performance hit on my not-amazing computer but PureVision or Quietcool might fit the bill okay. they're ENBs that add color without making the game look like a cartoon.

Oh, for the love of gently caress. Skyrim Ultra HD Texture Pack is now offline at SkyrimNexus. Can anyone help me in finding a copy of that one? Also, anyone know what the hell happened there?

Quick question - is there any mod that adds some sort of UI marker/countdown to show if shouts are still on cooldown?

I started with like 10 mods and am now up to 100ish, looking to get on the ENB train once I figure it out. This game has really aged well if you mod the poo poo out of it

Some kinda glowy effect on your compass. Haven't played Skyrim in a long while now and everything UI related was always modded away in my game.

Yeah, the blue glow around the compass slowly bleeds back to gray. It flashes gently to tell you when the time is up. A bit too rough for telling milliseconds, but it does the job.

I have a really weird problem. When I get into combat outside with an animal, my game lags like crazy. When the enemies are dead, the game resumes it's regular speed. I don't have this problem in caves at all. I don't even have any mods that change animals beyond unofficial patches (and PERMA). It's really weird because sometimes in combat with humanoid opponents outside will run like butter, but other times that will lag too. But it's only outside, and never inside cells.

Are there any mods that prevent reanimated minions from disappearing between cells? Actually a patch that lets you treat permanent minions as EFF followers after taking the Tongues of Old perk in PerMa's Conjuration tree would be awesome.

My pet Dead Thralls have a nasty tendency to disappear/die again on me, when I'm not keeping close track of 'em. I've spent waaaay too much time throwing Detect Dead to find Arch-Curate Vyrthur's latest liedown. Lost Daynas Valen when swimming across to the north shore by Solitude, too.

If you're using Perma, make sure that you don't have stacking Reanimation/Dead Thrall effects. PerMa Has difficulty dispelling those effects when minions die or disappear incorrectly, especially with the Mark of Decay spell. Although, the only result from this is that you Conjuration skill levels on its own at a fairly quick pace.

Ok, here's a request I haven't seen before. Is there any mod out there that allows you to switch from one-handing a weapon to two handing it and back while using the same model? Basically just switching it's animation set? Ideally, I'd like to emulate Dark Souls and how you can switch between the two styles with a single button press.

Linnaeus posted:Here you go: I'd give this one a pass. I used it and in the 10 minutes I had it installed I lost my weapon (turned invisible and could not equip it) and got hit with a bug where all my weapons did 0 damage. Also the hotkey doesn't always work so you need to switch from 1H to 2H and vise versa somewhere safe and it can take several tries of switching grips before the one you want sticks. That's IF your weapon doesn't straight-up disappear like mine did. Also bows will randomly transmute into a dagger or other random melee weapon with no way to switch back.

Man Whore posted:well you don't wave a brush around but you do put Turpentine on your weapon to kill paint trolls. And Painted Troll Fat has apparently become a highly valued commodity, despite there being only one known source for it. The owner of the magic brush was a Dunmer, so it's possible he's still alive 200 years later, but I have no idea how anyone ever even heard of Painted Troll Fat, considering that he wanted to keep the whole thing secret. Maybe the Champion of Cyrodiil told everyone, or maybe a greedy descendant murdered the painter from Oblivion and stole the brush for profit.

So I've started having that >60fps bug where physics objects start freaking out, but I forget how to fix it. Can you limit the FPS in ENB? I've been using ENBBoost which I guess is why my FPS is up.

I've been using ENBBoost which I guess is why my FPS is up. There's definitely a limiter function in the latest ENB (it's in enblocal.ini, i think?). You can also force vsync through your video driver. Or turn on ENB effects and never worry about hitting 60fps again  E: Speaking of, I finally managed to find a decent ENB setup that lets me play at acceptable-ish levels (40-ish outside, 60 indoors/dungeons. I think ENB has some weird poo poo going on with the sun rendering, since the same spots I tank to 30 outside during the day, I get a solid 60 at night) and goddamn is the game so much prettier. Subsurface and SSAO make such a dramatic difference it's not even funny. Naturally Selected fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Dec 13, 2014 |

Just want to throw a shoutout to an awesome little mod I've been using: Take Notes! It basically gives you your own in-game journal, separated into chapters, where you can jot down your own notes. Use it as a quest reminder, console command/ref id list, Hotkey reminder, keep track of alchemy recipes, or do what I've been doing and use it to role-play. I've only just killed the first dragon and this character already feels much richer and deeper than any other I've played. It's fun to sit down at the end of the (in-game) day and write a brief recap of what happened that day and what your character is thinking about it. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48375/

I noticed after forging myself a greatsword in PerMa that swinging it around doesn't seem to consume stamina. I've tried a couple other swords as well, seems to be everything in the "greatsword" category. Anyone else experiencing this/know if it's intended?

You could try manually removing the perk from your character if the game got confused and secretly assigned it to you. I'm having some trouble myself with brawls. I downloaded the brawl bugfix from nexus, but I think it's conflicting with another mod of mine. When I tried to recruit Uthgerd, she would stand up, sometimes raise her fists and yell "you want a real fight?"(which apparently means the brawl ended and actual combat began), or else she would immediately sit back down. The only mods I can see possibly affecting it are SPERG(it's brawl compatibility toggle just ends with her chasing me around the Bannered Mare with a greatsword), and Enhanced Blood. But according to the author of EB, his files are exactly the same as the brawl fix. Any ideas? I was able to bypass Uthgerd's dual by simply using the console to set player.setrelationshiprank to 3, which made her recruitable. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with the first Companion quest, it's the only other brawl I intend to do in the game.

I looked into it a bit more and saw that other people are having this issue as well. http://www.reddit.com/r/PerkusMaximus/comments/2ni37a/perma_and_stamina_drain_bug_or_by_design/ It's probably a bug which I'm just bypassing at this point by using greataxes/hammers.

From a page ago: Agents are GO! posted:Anyhow, I found something rather great tonight. The Brawl Bugs Cheat Patch. Basically, its supposed to make it so the Brawl bugs patch lets anything go during a brawl. No more trying to figure out which of my 200 mods is breaking brawls. It was originally on a mediafire link, I've rehosted it on my Google Drive. Basically, install that and brawls become anything goes, which is great when you don't know what exactly is breaking brawls. I don't plan to play without it again. (Install it on top of the original Brawl Bugs Patch.) edit: Bob Ross is coming along well!  I re-did his face by using the ingame character edit and then exporting it. I think this is as good as *I* can do. If somebody reading this can do a better one, gimme a holler. He even has a unique, lore-friendly summon!
