Ok thanks for the recommendations. Are there any other good vampire mods besides the blood potion ones, royal bloodlines and better vampires? Also should I disable spergs unarmed scaling with pickpocketing? I think one of the vampire mods already buffed it. Do the vampire attacks keep happening if I side with the vampires in dawnguard? Because jesus I want those to just gently caress off and stop killing all the merchants/NPCs.

I tried Vampiric Thirst for a while it's not bad, it gives you a power to attempt to bite people rather than Better Vampires contextual interact button, and it had some nice ideas for powers in the style of Vampire: The Masquerade, but I generally felt BV was more polished. One of the reasons I always forced myself to go through Dawnguard as early as possible was to stop vampire attacks, but then I found this mod and I never looked back! Edit: Oh yeah, Unique Vampire Dens by Gonkish is nice, it adds a place in each major city where you can rest up, feed and sell poo poo. Another good one is Vampire Resting Places which adds a coffin to sleep in in every city's hall of the dead. Davoren fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jan 21, 2015 |

I think that I've now more or less got my next Skyrim install planned out. If anyone could cast their expert and gimlet eyes over the modlist below to tell me whether I'm going to accidentally end up with anime hair, breasted mudcrabs, outdated/unsupported/buggy mods or mod conflicts I'd very much appreciate it. Graphics wise I'm running with a GTX 780 on 1080p, so if (in your experience) I've set the graphical standard a bit high I'd appreciate any insight you can provide there as well.quote:A Quality World Map, with roads

Do any of these vampire mods make Vampirism more like the Vampire Bloodlines Masqurade game? Where in low blood = high chance to turn into a uncontrolled beast, high blood = strength etc, and you spend blood like mana?

Yes, better vampires can be configured to do something like this with what it calls reverse progression and blood points.

Better Vampires is great. I've been having tons of fun just going around and being all vampirey. I am having an issue with another mod though. SPERG's always worked fine for me in the past, but I just grabbed the two-handed perk that's meant to give to 30% increased attack speed with greatswords and 15% increased attack speed with all other weapons, and it has instead slowed my attack speed to unusable levels. Is this a common bug? How do I fix this? Do I need to post my load order or something to give you guys a clue? That is a great perk and to have it do the opposite of what it's meant to do is... disheartening, to say the least.

I don't understand the love for SPERG. I started Skyrim with it and it just felt gratuitous, both in the mechanics it added (like ghost animals and poo poo) and their strength (crazy 2H perks). Now I'm using ACE, but that feels uninspired. Is there some kind of middle ground?

Can I favorite entire armor sets? This would be useful for Frostfall when I'd like an outfit for the cold and one for combat. Sorry if I overlooked something obvious, but it's not the easiest thing to search for. Does Dawn and JK's accomplish basically the same thing? Why did people combine them?

You either get huge sweeping perk overhauls that aren't compatible with anything else without huge effort/patches, or you get something like ACE. Perky is another one you can try.

Yeah, there's several perks I'm not a huge fan of in SPERG, so I just don't use them. They never gate off the rest of the tree, and the perks I love vastly outweigh the ones I don't so theres always something cool to unlock.

LtSmash, I started using SigWeap, and mostly it seems to function well, except for the fact that I think it doesn't copy over the PerMa keywords, as my weapon specific perks seem not to be functioning anymore. In addition, does it work for crossbows or staves? Also, had an idea: Signature Spell. Edit: Davoren posted:Yeah, I found them, I think the problem was I was misunderstanding what comes in the mod. I saw you postin' screens of like the oghma infinium page on the back, and the shadowmark on the forehead and thought those were in this pack! Nope, that's a project I'm slowly working on. BTW, the reason it's taking so long is that getting each tattoo positioned is a bitch. I have to fiddle with it, load skyrim, check it, go back to fiddle with it some more, reload skyrim...

I just figured out that many mods collide with the ''Fighting the Thalmor!'' series (Adal Matar, South Dragonbridge, etc...) and that disabling those made my game infinitely more stable. I really like ETAC (Extended Towns) but it`s too intensive in some cases for my GPU. I'd recommend it to anyone who has more power than a 5870 and an old i7 930 2.8. Raven Castle is also superb if you like huge as ball house mods (still under development) using static assets. From a RP perspective, you could likely do a TON of things in there. It has its own worldspace and the modder knows it is huge and has a ton of doodads so he split the castle in (so far) over 60 cells. Lots of door loading screens but I think it`s worth an exploration, at least.

One of my mods makes skooma turn you into a coked up speed freak and while I was going through my inventory eating food items that weren't RN&D meals, I accidentally consumed sixteen bottles of skooma without really paying attention. I probably went Mach 2, crossed half of Falkreath hold in a few seconds and then launched off a slope and died when I landed. My body then lifted off about as high as when the giant bug hits but much faster and my game froze. Don't do skooma kids.

I knew it wouldn't let me play just yet.

Once I went into character creation, though, they came back for a brief moment before blacking out my visuals.Iretep posted:Should I be worried that in the intro the carriage is flying everywhere or just ignore it and continue playing?

It won't finish in my experience, just continue flying and the intro sequence will never finish. Reload and try again, it will work sometimes. Or use alternate start. The intro is heavily scripted and mods tends to break it.

If you've never played the game before, I think it's worth loading with no mods and going through the whole intro sequence just to get a feel for the major plot points it sets up and how vanilla Skyrim plays. Then use an alternate start mod and never have to sit through that tedious stuff again.
