Everything Burrito posted:Maybe try SkyTweak? I know it lets you change 2H speed and you can adjust weapon damage and stamina costs for specific things like power attacks & blocking, but it may not do enough if you're wanting more of a comprehensive overhaul. It's pretty neat for making slight adjustments to a whole bunch of stuff though. SkyTweak is a better combat overhaul then anything else out there, it's a little more work but you can find what works for each individual character you play.

Agents are GO! posted:Hey everybody, especially CapnBeeb*, I created something that might interest you. I converted all the vanilla warpaints in Skyrim into RaceMenu facepaints which lets you do a little more with them (Like make them GLOW.) I mostly did it for me, but hey, somebody else might want it too. I also threw in a few other things I found in Skyrim Textures.bsa, like the face tattoos for Dremora and some other few things. Neat! Also, DID YOU KNOW THAT NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL LIVING THINGS IN SKYRIM AREN'T EXPLODING RIGHT NOW? THAT'S BULLSHIT.  BUY EXPLODING ARROWS.

Has anyone raved about Legend of the Eagle's Nest, by far the best player home mod ever, yet? It's a loving doom fortress on top of a mountain  with its own quest to discover it, explore the abandoned fortress, and then restore it to its former glory. It's a bitch and a half to actually find the thing though. Here's how I did it:Step 1: Go to Helgen. Start walking down the road towards Riverwood. DO NOT STRAY FROM THE ROAD. Step 2: Shortly before you get to Riverwood, look around on the sides of the road. You will find a dead eagle on a ledge. Step 3: Search the eagle. Retrieve the key and the book from its corpse. Step 4: Read the book to activate the quest. Step 5: You can try to follow the route in the book, but it's extremely easy to take the wrong way and end up at Bleak Falls Barrow and otherwise lost. If you want a quicker, more reliable route, do this... Step 6: Go to the Western Watchtower, where you fought the first dragon in the game. Go due north until you reach a road running up the side of the mountain. Follow the road until you reach a wooden walkway that should be on your left. Walk just past the walkway, turn around, and then go up the stairs leading to the walkway. Follow the walkway to reach the gates of the castle ("Eagle's Stonetree"). Step 7: Once you pass through the Eagle's Stonetree mine and reach the Eagle's Nest, it will be deserted and empty. Return to Riverwood when you see the "spring cleaning" objective and follow the quest markers to buy furnishings, livestock, and hire a guard and a steward. The total outlay will be around 11000 gold. Step 8: Return to the Eagle's Nest and enjoy your personal doom fortress. Give some gear to the guard so he looks the part. Visit the tower and stand on the balcony, gazing at the puny mortals on the plain of Whiterun below. Also I'm having trouble with the main character on my new Skyrim playthrough (who is a remake of an earlier character, but I digress). There are these weird geometry errors near the corners of his eyes that I can't get rid of. I'm using RaceMenu, which I didn't in my previous Skyrim install. Does anyone know what I did that would cause this or how I can fix it? Fortunately his hair covers it from 99% of angles, but the 1% looks really, really bad.  Chief Savage Man posted:What do you all use to get screenshots in Skyrim? Steam screenshots is mangling the visuals somehow and my lovely immersive visuals have turned into blobby poo poo. Do you use ENBSeries? (You should.) Hit Print Screen and it will drop a bmp in your Skyrim main folder. Although for me it's only Shift+F12 that causes ENBSeries to turn off.

f12 is the toggle ENB button, thats why. You could try rebinding that or your steam screenshot hotkey.

These Loving Eyes posted:Hey thread! ApachiiSkyHair has hundreds of available hairstyles from lore-friendly to animu and everything in between. It does NOT overwrite any of the vanilla hair meshes! Best coupled with the natural retexture which will take the Pantene Pro-V gloss out of some of the shinier textures and generally make the hair look a lot better. There are a number of face textures available, the Less Blocky Faces one from the OP is the most vanilla-looking, while Geonox is a sharper and more lifelike texture for men only. The female face textures come in an absolutely dizzying variety so uh, I guess you can just browse the Nexus for stuff and beware of  and  .E: The slightly unfortunately named Real Girls face texture set might be a bit too "Hollywood" for some but it's probably the best female companion to Geonox male faces that I've seen. ( screenshot on the page because one of the two pictures has a body mod as well and this is Nexus so...)The best CoT-compatible ENB is True Vision. The "natural" preset is the best. Turn your game brightness to zero after installing this ENB to make it look correct. Realistic Overhaul works beautifully with CoT and True Vision and removes much of the "pudding face" effect from interior lighting. Read the installer and look at all the options before installing, a few modules are incompatible with CoT and should be left unchecked! E2: If you use the SXP experience mod and Immersive creatures together,  DISABLE DRAMAN SKELETONS . SXP thinks they are dragons and will award you ten times the normal experience. You could earn 200,000+ experience raiding a dragon shrine infested with Draman Skeletons and that's just ridiculous. Plus they're annoying, ragdoll you, and play dragon music even if no dragon is around so gently caress them.

This is actually the biggest argument for using ENB - subsurface scattering makes skin look like, well, skin. I can pretty much take or leave everything else, but SSS is such a ridiculous improvement it justifies the FPS drop.

SPERG adds an enchanting perk that lets you learn "unique spells" from staffs. How exactly does it work? I got the one from the Staff of Magnus, but not from the Staff of Jyrik Gauldurson or the "Light of Meridia" staff the mod adds. Which staffs actually work with the perk, and what triggers the spell-learning?

Tin Tim posted:So I was wondering if there was a mod that reduces the number of dragons that haunt you? Bit late to reply to you, but you don't actually need mods to do this if you are willing/interested in slowing down the ingame clock. Dragon attacks are based on time passed ingame, so when you use the "set timescale to X" command you will also have dragons being more rare as a side-effect. I always thought time passed way too fast in Tamriel, so i set my timescale to 10 (20 is the default), that also doubles the time between dragons and as a result i'm pretty soul starved and have to make actual choices about what to unlock. Setting the timescale too low can break your game, apparently the lowest safe value is 6, but i wouldn't go lower than 10, always better to be as safe as possible with TES modding/tweaking.

Free roaming and such, ya know? Commend: "set DragonsReturned to #") Alternatively this should disable dragons completely: "set DragonsReturned to 0" "prid 5eacd" "disable" You can enable them again with: "set DragonsReturned to 1" "prid 5eacd" "enable" Thanks mate.

If you're going to use the console for it, just set WINextDragon to 999999 and be done with it. Dragons will stop showing up. When you want a dragon to show again, set it to 1, and then things will proceed as normal after that, or you can set the value high again. And to reduce the frequency, like Raygereio says set WIWaitDragon to adjust the frequency they appear at. I would not mess with the DragonsReturned global though, as that is checked by scripts and used in conditionals here and there, and can screw things up if you're at a point in the game where dragons are supposed to have returned already, but that value is set to something other than it should be.

Woolie Wool posted:Has anyone raved about Legend of the Eagle's Nest, by far the best player home mod ever, yet? I downloaded it, but haven't had a chance to play through the content yet. I agree though, mountaintop fortresses are badass. TESVEdit says it's missing a navmesh, but author says its a minor issue that'll be fixed in the next update. Another awesome player home that happens to be located nearby is Jaggersfield. It looks like the ultimate in terms of storing and displaying your loot. It's got a small cabin located in a Bloated Man's Grotto-type of caldera that has auto-sorting for mundane stuff, and special racks for things like Elder Scrolls and Dragon Claw keys. The real gem is a vault semi-hidden behind a waterfall that has a ton of armor and weapon racks for common and unique gear. Including stands for Miraak's stuff, the priest masks, the Deadric artifacts, and the Black Books. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38392/ Woolie Wool posted:Also I'm having trouble with the main character on my new Skyrim playthrough (who is a remake of an earlier character, but I digress).

Does anyone know what I did that would cause this or how I can fix it? Fortunately his hair covers it from 99% of angles, but the 1% looks really, really bad. Sounds like it's just an issue with the sliders. In every game that has this kind of character creation, I've carefully shaped my character's face and have it look great, only to be horrified once the game starts and I see him from other angles. Only advice I can give is to use Racemenu's camera features to look at your character's face from as many angles as possible before you commit to a character.

I eventually found it, it was the Age slider. Since my character is supposed to be around 19, I set the slider to a negative value. Moving it up to 0 fixed the issue (actually the only thing negative values seem to do is gently caress up the cheekbone/eye area). Next time I start a new game I should start with a bald head and select the hair only when I'm satisfied with the face. Another awesome mod: Character Creation Overhaul, which adds Oblivion/Morrowind's race/class/birthsign system and removes the standing stones (birthsigns are permanent!). Makes your choice of a character have actual meaning (at least until high levels when characters become good at everything, which is something about this game that really annoys me). If you stack all the possible buffs (race bonus, specialization bonus, tagged skill) on a certain skill you can start the game with that skill as high as 35. Conversely, if you ignore a skill it can start as low as 5. Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Dec 31, 2014 |

I want to like that one, but a lot of times the game seems to expect you to be starting in the 20 range in all your skills. Being unable to do the introductory smithing quest because your smithing skill is just that low really sucks and makes it incredibly frustrating to get the skill up to non-atrocious levels.

One thing: If you do use this with SPERG, after character creation is all said and done, go into the SPERG MCM and select "Check Auto-Perks" to make sure you get all the perks you should for your skill numbers.

Sure you get an initial bonus to some skills and a unique power depending on your race, but it wasn't enough to make it matter to the extent that I wish it did. CCO helps with that a lot without the craziness that comes with Resplendent Racials. I just wish the author finished his positive/negative trait system before calling it quits, that seemed really cool. Phetz fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Dec 31, 2014 |
