I am pretty sure there is at least one mod that just puts all the materials for all the parts of the house in the starting chest.

Knuc U Kinte posted:Is there a mod that eases up the building requirements in hearthfire? I always get bored once I slog through the game to build a house and I just wanna skip that part this time. I think Alternate Start - Live Another Life now has a homeowner starting option for Hearthfire homes. I'm not sure if you're talking about for a new game, but I think it starts pretty much fully built. Alternate Start - Live Another Life posted:Alternatively, you can choose from one of the 3 Hearthfire houses. For these, you will start off with a fully furnished Entry Way, Main Hall, Cellar, and all exterior additions. The only thing which will not be enabled is the bard since the bard specifically mentions your steward you don't have yet. The drafting table outside should be ready to go with whatever additions you want on the house afterward.

Has anyone used Leaf Rest? I was looking for a house to upgrade to from my little shack and the business ledger system sounded interesting considering my current character is basically a traveling merchant (it is pretty much the most boring game of Skyrim ever but is still fun somehow). I was just wondering since it looks like there's a lot of moving parts built in if it was generally stable or what.

Going back to my earlier woes with script latency, I recently replaced my CPU cooler because it turned out my CPU was underclocking itself due to a cooler caked with dust bunnies and my script lag has fallen from 150 ms to 39!

I'll probably stick it out with this character, but back to elaborate combat mods after that. It probably has a bug with adjusting magicka costs in a script. Sounds like maybe it adjusts based on your level but always assumes it hadn't already been adjusted. Changes like that will persist through the entire skyrim program session since it doesn't reread all plugin data each time you load a game but the changes aren't included in your save so when you exit to desktop and restart the base values will be reread from file. Then any scripted changes will have the correct values (until it bugs again). Also I think lots of places players usually go right off the bat were changed to be high level since it fits the lore. So Saarthal has a powerful lore artifact in it so it should have lots of powerful mobs. Enjoy wandering the through forest killing rats to level up enough to do anything.

So assuming I'd like to make the combat a bit more challenging without turning the game into a joyless tedious grindfest ala Requiem, do I have any good options? Specifically, I'd like something that plays nicely with Sperg.

Woolie Wool posted:If you don't have any clue what the game's storyline is about 5 hours into the game, the game might have some problems. People always cite that as a complaint about XIII and I still don't understand why. The game has a piss poor storyline but it's really easy to understand, you're agents of a Godlike machine who is on the run from the government because the Godlike machine that gave you magic powers wants to destroy the world. Run like hell until you can figure out a way to escape your predicament which they don't end up doing at the end so much as they just kill the Godlike machines and through Deus Ex Machina that saves the world too. No, the problem with XIII is that the first 20 hours of the game is a tutorial and once you're past the tutorial all you have left is doing battles over and over again with nothing to break the monotony. No exploration, no cool sidequests, nothing.

Where would i look to remove a sound file from a custom race? The mod author added in a Link-like Hyar! Nnraaah! to each and every time you swing your sword. It had gotten old and annoying very very fast.

So I finally decided to start actually using Thunderchild, since I've had it installed for as long as I can remember but not touched it until now. I got the hang of most things like the mantras pretty quick, but what does the gag in the wardrobe in the High Hrothgar Library do? I noticed it has the little lightning bolt symbol by its name so I assumed it has an effect

They're placed via script, so I can't open the mod and check. Fire Breath doesn't really need to be powered up, though. I recommend giving true shot a try though, at three words it launches a magic artillery barrage at anything you shoot with your bow.

Yeah I've probably way overpowered it as it is, as it allows me to kill a whole family of netches with one blast, and if any survive, the immediate followup blast from the one of the Champion of Kyne feats mops up the survivors.

Like half the nexus is dedicated to female skin mods, so you have no shortage of options. Narrowing it down is the hard part. The best one I've found is True Daughters of Skyrim, which has subtle imperfections without looking totally haggard. The only problem is the "sunburned" version is the default and looks kinda stupid. They offer non-sunburned textures that you can swap in. If you don't like that one, look through the "models and textures" category and you'll find a huge variety of others, catering to every whim you could imagine.

I'll probably stick it out with this character, but back to elaborate combat mods after that. Requiem doubles(or maybe more) the Magicka cost of spells when you are low on stamina. That might have been your issue. It also increases the cost of spells based on the weight of equipped armour and makes the really good Magicka Regeneration/Spell School Cost Reduction enchantment much rarer and less potent on armour but slightly more potent on robes as a way of encouraging mages to go unarmoured. Requiem definitely has some stupid bullshit in it like giving most animals knockback attacks so if they hit you once they just slowly juggle you to death with there being no way for you to recover unless you're lucky enough that they knock you somewhere they can't path too. But I like most its changes. It is however really opaque and you pretty much have to read the manual if you want to have much chance of figuring it out. I've been playing it iron man style and outside of the fact that Sabre Cats are the most dangerous entities in all of Skyrim, far more dangerous than Dragons, Vampires, or Draugr it rarely feels unfairly hard.

Oh good, trying to do this special Thieves Guild job in Windhelm and jackass Torsten Cruel-Sea is outside the city boundaries just standing in the hills. Tried waiting a bit and he didn't seem to move. I guess I'm just going to have to open a wormhole with the console to get him back into this plane of existence. Too bad the USKP bug tracker isn't easier to just submit a bug to.

I'm still playing it, and I'll probably continue, but I still find myself relying on my follower and leftover flame atronach scrolls from the Saarthal supply chest. The deleveled world has entirely lost its appeal, as level 1s and level 40s in the same place seems to be the rule rather than the exception (granted, you can stealth killmove dudes ~10 levels above you). But take that bandit camp situated east and up the road from Whiterun, under High Hrothgar. For what felt like fifteen minutes it was spawning lv 1-25s as quickly as I could kill them, all while a lv ~40 mage atop the tower on the other side of the river rained down one-shot fireballs. Some hardcore combat mods and the difficult cranked up a notch can totally give you a good challenge in a more reasonably designed package. Maybe with Morrowloot to give you a better sense of progression.

Can you set iPresentInterval=0 if you're using an FPS limiter (Nvidia/ENB/whatever) to keep the game at 60 frames or less? I understand that disabling VSync (iPresentInterval) might cause various issues and glitches, but mouse sensitivity is very unreliable with it on.
