Midnight Voyager posted:Don't merge all the plugins, by the way. Make sure you have the latest copy of the script and the PROGRAM both. Load all the plugins. Select all of them except for the base plugin. Right click, run script, pick the merge script. It should just work from there. But with that mod, you'll have problems merging them all into the base. I'm running the latest version of both xEdit Scripts and TESVedit, that's one of the main reasons I have issues with the guide, as it's pretty drat outdated. The first merge file I made was for towns and settlements only, minus Dragon bridge South, as it's apparently asocial and really hates being merged, according to the mod author, at least. I planned to make a separate merge file for patches, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I need the Creation Kit as I apparently have to use it for regenerating the "Navigation Mesh Info Map" (NAVI) information, which can apparently be done by opening the plugin in the Creation Kit and then saving it again. The reason I have to regenerate the NAVI information is because the guide explicitly told me to use TESVedit to delete the merged file's original one. I guess it's to make sure that it's cohesive or something? I really have no clue.

I'm trying to install Dual Sheath Redux and I get the following when I try to patch it:quote:skyproc.exceptions.MissingMaster I'm guessing they're not playing nice but I'm not sure. (And yes I have the cloak mods properly installed).

Metalocalypse posted:If you like mods made by kryptopyr, I'd highly suggest you download and back up everything now. Seems she's having some issues with nexus mod creators and wishes to leave the Key word (that I missed when I first read your post) is "creators". kryptopyr posted:Respectful and open discourse on Nexus doesn't seem to be possible anymore. I'm so tired of all the hate. In the past few hours alone I've been called a childish, vengeful control freak, a passive aggressive little c*** with thin skin and an elitist attitude, who is no different than the entitled morons who started this s***storm to begin with. This is actually a pretty interesting development. It looks like a good number of authors think that "taking my poo poo down in a huff" actions are petty, and are rather vicious about expressing that opinion. eta: The weird thing is that she's going to the STEP forums and her complaint is about the quality of discussion on the Nexus forums, but why look for an alternate hosting venue if the problem is the forums? Why not just keep them on the Nexus and only discuss things on STEP or elsewhere? Seems like the easiest thing to do since she doesn't want to stop sharing her mods.

Every time I check that mod I keep hoping they've updated for CoS, looks like they're getting closer though. Probably the mod I'm looking forward to being able to use the most right now.

It also looks awkward as hell unless your character is bulked out in armor due to how it just juts outward at the shoulders. It also has bad tendency to physics itself into some sort of weird stuck knot state if you jump around too much. Definitely cool, but like everything else in Skyrim, it has issues.

You'll probably never have it up long enough to notice unless you are binging but every time you run Skyrim with a bunch of mods you are slowly building up to a CTD because of a memory issue. More mods makes it happen more quickly generally. Every time you play you're building an elaborate house of cards which goes higher and higher the longer the game is running until it all comes crashing down. There are patches/tweaks to fix it though. Errors are part of the charm. Space Skeleton fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 1, 2015 |

Glad to hear that, seems like everything is working properly then, error messages exluded. The message boxes are also the only part of the CK that has been translated. "Yes to All" gets translated to "Cancel" for several languages. I got the Creation Kit to regenerate the NAVI information, like the guide told me to. Don't think I'll ever know why I had to do that, but at least it should work now.

It has to do with "navmeshes" which are how NPCs know to walk around. I don't fully understand it either, but for mods that add new locations and structures, it becomes an issue when two or more mods use the same space and have to be made compatible with a patch. The patch apparently isn't sufficient to ensure that the navmeshes of the various modded-in locations are compatible, that has to be done in the CK. As I understand it, anyway. eta: actually I'm missing a piece of the puzzle here, it's merging these locations and patches together that's the issue, somehow that messes up the navmeshes and loading the merged plugin into the CK fixes that... I think? Been a while since I dealt with this. GunnerJ fucked around with this message at 18:58 on May 1, 2015 |

That seems to be the core of it, yeah. The only thing I did was loading the merged ETaC file into the CK and then saving, like the instructions told me. After that I checked the file out in TESVEdit, and the NAVI information had been readded, so it seems to have worked. Now to start merging the ETaC patches

Any good mods for better Inn experiences? I checked out Perseids Inns and Taverns which I liked in theory, but it felt like it did a little too much. The unique Inn interiors were a nice idea but some felt a little out of place, and the exterior changes on some were odd. Also was hoping it would add an Inn to the New Gnisis Corner Club in Windhelm, but didn't seem to.

I don't have an alternate suggestion but I just wanna add that it annoys the hell out of me that the expanded inn options are only available in the version that redesigns all the inns and presents a compatibility nightmare. One of these days I'm going to figure out how to strip all the architecture changes cleanly and leave the NPC and purchase changes.

I thought SkyTweak still had that issue with saving/overwriting settings? That's why I stopped using it anyway. Although I see he just posted today about his intent to update some of his mods with FISS(mcm setting saver thoughout playthroughs) which is sweet. And possible script based GELO. Cool.

How up to date is the OP with respect to visual mods? I just got a shiny new GTX 970 and I am looking to get back into skyrim. What mods/settings/texture packs produce the best long distance viewing especially viewing from mountain tops down. From the original game I remember that was the most jarring experience looking down at flat polygons for long distance.
