Storage Helpers does exactly that and a bunch of other really useful inventory management things. It's one of those quality of life mods that should be in everyone's load order IMO. Storage Helpers posted:R is "Put Most" and transfers all but your equipped, favorite, special, and quest items. It also let's you turn clothing pieces into wearable containers that open with a right click, so you can for example put all your rare use potions into a bandolier pouch.

Jabarto posted:Nope. Arthmoor may have some lovely ideas that he defends with a psychotic fervor, but he does make basically good mods, and there's nothing ridiculous in this one or When Vampires Attack. Unless I'm missing something major, anyway. Just felt like I should ask, I'm honestly surprised he has shown some restraint on that. I'm interested in the inconsequential NPCs mod but um.. is there a version of that mod that doesn't have loving prostitutes in it? I like the idea of the other things like nobles actually having servants, carriage bodyguards and random mercenaries. But I can do without skooma addicts trying to pawn their bodies to me.

My only problem with the Vampire and Dragon attack mods is when you flee from a dragon or vampire attack the NPCs inside are basically disabled and they don't react to anything othertimes the mod just doesn't work.

You can tell if a vampire/dragon attack is happening without visual confirmation when you're breaking into buildings because all the NPCs are clustered at the front door. They won't follow their schedules until the threat/s are dead, regardless distance on the cell. The guard call will also pull in the khajiit caravan guards, who will psychically rush off to combat the vampire threat 200 metres away near castle dour.

Trying to install ENB, I don't have a line for "bShadowsOnGrass=1", should I add it? if so, does it matter what part of the prefs ini it goes into? The readme said to edit the readme, then run skyrim launcher, but the launcher now crashed out on me pretty spectacularly, not sure where I went wrong. e: turns out I was using the wrong skyrimprefs edit2: or not, still crashing. Now skyrim in game is telling me that either bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 is not set, or i have multiple copies (I have no idea). It's certainly set...

It has a couple bugs with cookpots but overall is solid I think. It requires General Stores and uses GS's ability to learn new ingredients from mods so it should be compatible with everything. Fantastic! I'll give that a try, sounds just what I'm looking for...

So, I've heard a lot about how MO is basically the fourth coming of Jesus Christ when it comes to Skyrim modding, and that a proper MO setup changes everything for the better. But I've been using NMM for a long time, and my game has a tendency to crash every now and then - Is there a guide to how I can migrate over to MO and make my game a bit more pleasant when it comes to not crashing and burning. I'm running all sorts of mods, PerMa, IW+IA, all that stuff. I know I'm being incredibly vague, but do I really have to reinstall everything to get a decently stable Skyrim?

I'm running all sorts of mods, PerMa, IW+IA, all that stuff. I know I'm being incredibly vague, but do I really have to reinstall everything to get a decently stable Skyrim? If you're having a lot of issues, it's probably best to just start with a clean slate otherwise you'll never figure out what's wrong. Write down all the mods you have installed and download them through MO. Make sure to never click "Merge" and always choose "Rename" (or "Replace" if you're reinstalling/updating). The reason this is important is for the following reason: 1. You download Hentai Armor Pack v1 and install it via MO and it names it "Hentai Armor Pack" 2. The mod author puts out a small hotfix for Hentai Armor Pack and you download it, but when you try to install it through MO, it has the same name as the main pack. 3. If you pick "Merge" it's usually an ok option because it overwrites main pack files with hotfix files. But the problem now is that Hentai Armor Pack is now 'linked' to the hotfix pack instead of the main pack. This means that if you right click and select reinstall through MO, it'll reinstall the hotfix instead of the main pack. 4. The better option is to give the hotfix a separate name like "Hentai Armor Pack hotfix" and move it right below the main pack on the left side of MO. You should notice a lightning bolt icon with a green plus sign indicating the hotfix is overwriting files from above (likely the main pack). This is the one thing I wish I knew before I went down the modding rabbithole. Taking this approach keeps things modular which is crucial for troubleshooting. The other piece of advice is to look hard at the mods you have installed and make double mega sure you really really need them. It makes compatibility and CTDs much more easier to deal with. I went from a 250 mod set-up to a 100 mod set up without really losing much but gaining a ton of stability.

Hahah, these are great. Where even is this? I don't recall a funroom of burning bodies. Scyantific posted:I too like taking cool screenshots. Though most of them tend to be landscape shots because this game has some of the best scenery. Where are you walking to? It looks rad as heck. ArchetypeBlue posted:I use Equipping Overhaul, and it's pretty great, even though the off-handed sheathing doesn't actually work, it still lets you walk around literally covered in weapons, even while using spells and poo poo, if that's how you want to roll. I love this mod, but it straight up doesn't work on some characters, causes equipping/unequipping spasms on load with others, and periodically farts out with the offhand sheathing. It's tits when it's working as intended, though. And you don't have to run a 20 minute patcher every time.

I was using Skyrim Bigger Trees and have since switched to Skysight - Simply Bigger Trees now that it works without having to do any INI fixing and prefer it to the former because I'm finding less instances of trees blocking paths or sticking out in weird ways, and the lower branches being raised up a bit helps with visibility.

I remember a few specific places that I had issues with Bigger Trees and ran through last night and the annoying trees were gone, one I can remember off the top of my head is that little goat path that shortcuts between the Whiterun Stormcloak camp and the area north of Ivarstead having a big ole tree square in the middle of the path that isn't in the way now. I suspect there are issues like that with both and it kinda depends on where you spend more time which ones end up being annoying.

You ever think about exporting a racemenu preset + head nif? Because seriously. That's impressive. Thanks! And naw, I haven't. I've been using ECE actually. I tried the Racemenu vertex editor, and it was practically impossible. Wish I had those tattoo/scar/whatever overlays in ECE, though. They should just combine and make one great mod. I wanted to make myself or a sexy approximation thereof, but the male hair mod scene leaves much to be desired. Can't even get a decent van dyke, and Apachii has like six types of scene hair but no decent fade.

Try lowering your *ShadowDistances, too, as Skyrim has a quantity vs. quality thing going on. I had the same problem till messing around with those. At least, I think it was those.

The STEP guide purports to have a simple 'baseline' approach, but even following the core guide will take a day or two. God help you if you want to deviate from the instructions because you'll just drown in a compatibility maelstrom. That said, you may want to consider some of the major overhaul mods (PerMa, Requiem, etc) if you want a plug in and go experience. It would be helpful if you specified what you'd like to see the most from a mod pack.

LtSmash posted:Quoting a post I made before with the ini shadow settings from a nexus guide. The launcher options raise both the shadow quality and shadow draw distance which tends to crush gfx cards. Messing with them yourself will let you get much nicer ones and keep solid fps by keeping the draw distance lower. You can also set iShadowMapResolution to 8192, which will improve shadow quality (reduce jagged edges) remarkably. Pretty hard on your FPS, though.

Eonwe posted:Appreciate this. An overhaul mod would be nice. Balanced combat, useful magic, and maybe some new quests/etc and monsters would be pretty good. But mostly balanced combat/magic. It depends on what you find imbalanced about the combat now. PerMa makes some very interesting changes to the perks that significantly affect the way each build plays. It comes with a patcher which makes it relatively compatible with other mods. The main design approach was how boring vanilla perks were in how they simply increased your skill's effect by x%. Requiem delevels the world (which means enemies don't scale to your level) and puts forth a sort of rock/paper/scissors approach to warrior/mage/archer classes. Requiem in generally is much harder and forces you to roleplay instead of be a jack of all trades (e.g. wearing heavy armor while not moving will drain your stamina unless you have the right perk). You eventually get over the difficulty hump as your character is more capable. This is my favored way to play and I love how brutal the beginning is. SPERG is a light-weight perk overhaul that is less intrusive than PerMa and is meant to work alongside most things. Apocalypse overhauls magic but it might conflict with the above. Those three will significantly overhaul how the game is played. On top of those, you can add various different combat overhauls which try to add things like blocked timing or a bigger dependence on stamina conservation (too many to list). There's also AI overhauls like Revenge of the Enemies, and ASIS which increases spawns if you want a more diablo-like affair. For creatures, skyTest adds a lot more interesting variety to animals and their behaviors (and baby mammoths ). Some folks here said it was unstable but I ran with it just fine for hours of gameplay. Immersive Creatures adds a whole bunch more creatures, some better made than others. If you want to crank up bandits to 11, there's always OBIS. There are a lot of options out there and unfortunately most are fragmented. I would recommend watching youtube reviews and reading descriptions to figure out what stands out. For quests you can just search through the quest category on Nexus. Keep in mind that Vanilla Skyrim is already huuuuge without adding more objectives on top. Make sure that whatever mod you're installing isn't clashing with another mod. The more popular mods out there usually have a patch to sort out conflicts. Read the descriptions, readme, and posts. Ask questions.
