In the apocalypse spells mod, is there a spell that reanimates every corpse in the area? Animating one at a time is a little bit tedious.

I thought you needed a perk to able to resurrect more than one corpse at a time.

In fact, the unofficial patches are designed with adding to a game in progress by design, and will actually run scripts to fix what's been hosed up in your saves by bugs.

They probably opted to not do that to not make the Ritual a pointless stone.

That's my biggest problem with Skyrim, you can't easily roleplay a necromancer. No Diablo-style horde of skeletons, only a couple of corpses at a time.

I've noticed that LOOT likes to sort the unofficial patches directly after their corresponding mods, so the plugins end up alternating between them (DLC1 - UnoPatch1 - DLC2 - UnoPatch2 etc). Is there any benefit or detriment to doing this over loading the DLCs first and then the patches in separate batches (DLC1 - DLC2 - UnoPatch1 - UnoPatch 2), or does it not matter in the slightest as long as the patch is loaded shortly after their required plugin? I've assumed that it's the latter, I just wanted to make sure . All that said, I'm guessing that LOOT simply sorts them that way because it's programmed to sort the patches as high up in the load order as possible, is that right?

They probably opted to not do that to not make the Ritual a pointless stone. The Aurora Doomstones mod makes the Ritual Stone passively reanimate every corpse near you when in combat as long as you aren't actively attacking, and also the corpses don't turn to dust so if you attack and all your zombies die again then you can just wait for them to revive yet again.

BattleCattle posted:Huh! Missed that. Probably because I've never been that far down the tech tree. So I tried to mod the game to make multiple summons viable. A lot of the mods that add the number of corpses, skellies, atronachs and whatnot didn't seem to work, so instead I found an easier solution: Just go into console and find the ID for the Twin Souls perk. Now add it multiple times. You should now be capable of having as many summoned and reanimated creatures as you want. Another way you could do this is find the power for the ritual stone and make that thing available for more than once per day.

Ritual is the absolute funniest power to have when you go in that enslaved-ghost-warlock-sucker-trap ruin. Watching 15 commoners and dogs tear apart a wizard while you're sitting snug in a cage never gets old.

One fun thing to do with the ritual stone (I don't know if this still works with the USKP, but I used to do it when playing on the PS3.) Grab the Aetherial Crown, make sure it's got the ritual stone power stored. Now, every time you re-equip the Crown, you'll a fresh use of the Ritual Stone. Travel through a dungeon, building your army! Anyways, here's a few more shots of my WIP mod - if anybody likes seeing these, please let me know, because I'll stop posting them if it's irritating. First up, Bthandmarz Command:  Secondly, Tonal Locks. This is a new thing I've created for this mod. It's basically Simon: Match the growing-sequence of lights/tones:  Well, except for the fact that failing at Simon rarely shot flames directly into your face!

I think you're just adding the vanilla twin souls on top of SPERG's so you have both at once and have a higher summon limit. Of course anything is possible in Skyrim modding, so if it does work to infinity, awesome.

This Twin Souls console fuckery seems cool (and with less messing around in the Creation Kit, too). I might give it a go next time around.

I just discovered the most Bethesda-ish bug ever. Weapon racks won't function correctly when rotated to 90 degree angles. 89? Sure. But not 90. I'm about to check if 89.99 works. Edit: Rotated to 0.1 off true works perfectly. Rotated to 0.01 off true screws up. :bethesda: Agents are GO! fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jun 6, 2015 |

Not exactly a mod question, but this seemed the right place to ask: Does anybody know of an online tool that will let me enter alchemy ingredients and choose the combinations that will allow for me to learn the most effects? There are a lot of online tools, but they're mostly focused (understandably) on finding ways to brew the most expensive potions or potions that are effective. I just want to learn as many effects as I can with my pile of flowers and bug parts, and then maybe brew a few extras with the bulk ingredients like mountain flowers to keep my skill up.

I have this bookmarked but tbh I found it easier to just scroll through the UESP ingredients page and use that chart to see what combines with what. Learning ingredient effects is always super tedious on replays which is why I really love the combination of that SPERG perk that makes learning ingredients by eating them more effective plus tweaking the Uncapper ini so that Alchemy levels super fast up to 100. I take that perk, make like 10 potions to max it to 100, then just eat anything that's not identified after that to unlock all effects. For a more ~immersive~ option there's also some mod that lets you learn ingredient effects when you read books about alchemy but I don't remember the name offhand.

That Alchemy page thing looks really spergy. ... I use an app. A normal Necromancy mod would be rad, since I don't find PerMa that interesting. Maybe I should give that Undeath mod a try. Has anyone tried it?

Bicyclops posted:Not exactly a mod question, but this seemed the right place to ask: Try Prosperous Alchemist. When you use an alchemy table, it will check the ingredients you have and display at the top of the screen which 3 ingredients will produce the most expensive potion. It auto updates as you use up ingredients. Be warned though, that if you have a quest ingredient, such as the Frost Salts Farengar wants you to deliver, it counts those as an ingredient to check against, even though you can't use it. Thats the only real con, and that situation is rare, anyway. It's worked perfectly for me with mods like Hunterborn that add new ingredients. Also give Harvest Overhaul a look. Makes it so you get 3 or 4 of an ingredient from plants. No more getting only one deathbell from the whole bush. Also has an option to add extra harvestable ingredients from animals, like fox claws or horker blubber.

Everything Burrito posted:I have this bookmarked but tbh I found it easier to just scroll through the UESP ingredients page and use that chart to see what combines with what. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm using, but it's a lot of manual sorting if you're just trying to figure out "which combination of ingredients will reveal the most new effects, given the ingredients that I have and what I have already learned." I mostly ask because I know the program already exists, it's just A) on my brother's computer and B) doesn't take the DLC stuff into account. I just thought "Well, if he made a program that does it, somebody out there must have done it and published it," but it seems most of them are focused on making potions by effect or making potions for profit (which makes sense). Ah well. I'll maybe check out Prosperous Alchemist (thanks, That Ignorant Sap) which will approximate what I'm trying to do, or just figure it out manually and with a spreadsheet or something.

Gaaaah. I'm trying to get all the rest of the achievements I need and I need 1 more Daedric Artifact. Of course, I need to go into Bloated Man's Grotto for that and everytime I enter it, it crashes. Any way I can potentially figure out why that is and how to fix it? edit: used a console command to teleport in front and ran inside, and somehow this worked!

On the jury-rigged necromancy stuff: I may have used multiple MGEF IDs to get the number of extra summons that I had available, stacked up as Seorin suggested. I'll have to look at it again sometime so I can remember exactly what I did. Anyway, I was able to summon up seven skellies or so without a problem, not sure what I was capped at.

I guess it's a SPERG thing, but do locks belong to the Thieves Guild now? doing the cave crawl with Karliah and Mercer Frey aka Team Leroy Jenkins. if I bash open a lock I get a bounty for assaulting a guild member and both Karliah and Mercer turn hostile.
