Any way I could think of fixing it requires actually changing the mod in the CK because it sounds like a scripting issue. The easiest would be to put a floor check in the debuff function ("if the final value is negative, set to 1"), assuming that's how it works. Frostfall's Nexus page may have a list of known issues or someone may have mentioned it in the discussion thread for it.

Turns out I was NOT on the latest Frostfall. Testing again. I saw people bring it up in the discussion thread but I don't think they made it clear that the stat was wrapping around, so the author basically just heard "hey hypothermia is backwards" with not much more to go on. if it's still an issue I may bring it up there but I didn't want to submit a bug if there was a simple config fix e: yep, nevermind I'm a dumb idiot and updating fixed all the things.

I wanted to put in my two cents on Siets ENB guide: it's good here's my ENB guide addendum: be careful with lighting mods. It sounds so good, right? Change Skyrim's pretty mediocre lighting to be awesome like this screenshot? Sign me up! The problem is, they assume things when they tweak lighting. Some assume vanilla lighting. Some assume a specific version of a different lighting mod and some assume you live in a pitch-black cave inhabited solely by mountain dew bottles and doritos tacos locos wrappers. In the end, improperly configured lighting mods will rapidly turn your game into one where everything is pitch black and candles light up an area with a radius of approximately 7 micrometers, which is apparently what we call microns now. ENBs tend to exacerbate the issue by nature of how they work - they modify lighting, so now you're modifying a modification which may also be modifying a modification. It's gonna look like poo poo. So read the ENB's instructions twice and pass on anything with a huge pile of pre-req mods. Or just install a known good ENB and be done with it.

In my experience, it's best just to turn on the key ENB graphical enhancements, like detailed shadows, soft particles and soft particle lights, but to leave out the color/lightning tweaks (i.e. use UseOriginalPostProcessing=true and UseOriginalObjectsProcessing=true).

So I'm trying to figure out why at 100 Enchanting, my results range from "As good as the best possible generic drops (Such as 40% two-handed, when the highest I've looted is 30%)", to "ALMOST" as good", "About half as good as generic drops". To "What the loving christ, 15% discount/10% regen That last one at least I saw some mention of that effect being buggy, amidst a million useless results of "Did you try, having 100 Enchanting/Using a grand soul?" trying to google up some enchanting being fine while other enchanting was poo poo. Though I'd have hoped USLEEP would have handled such a jarring discrepancy, and leaves me still wondering about the other off kilter results. To be fair, I did decide to see if enchanting would finally be worth it via console commands to quickly ramp up the experience. Was being highly discouraged seeing poo poo elemental resist results even at legit gained 50s enchanting despite reasonable weapon attack enchants I was happy to use. So I wanted to see if it would be worth the several tons of enchanted daggers to go from 50's to top. Alas, Element resists fall under "100 enchanting gets me less than half of 70" for whatever's going on. My Mods that have any (known) effect on enchanting would be- USLEEP SPERG Skyrim weapon and armor fixes remade Passive weapon enchantment recharging. To a lesser degree, armored circlets by quickfire because crafted circlets can be enchanted. I suppose one workaround would be just shrugging consoleing in generic items to use, if I don't see them in any shops. Oh no, I'll have to suck it up and wear either Daedric or Dragon boots I'm capable of crafting anyways if I want the very best, instead of sticking with ebony and circlets because I like their looks better At least this particular character is a Heavy two-hander who has been slinging spells on the side for variety. So not being able to craft up my own special snowflake equipment (Barkeep wizard!) isn't as annoying as if I were trying for sneaky or straight casting, if I can't work out what the deal with this is. Really the biggest ballbuster for this character personally (Not using a shield), was no naturally occurring rings of element resist meaning all my looted/purchased stuff covers only two out of three elements at once via boots+Neck, when I was having all three of them thrown in my face at the same time "Okay I've got my frost resistant ebony boots, and my fire resistant necklace on, I should be okay-" *backs up into lightning ward for 1/3 my health* "Hold on, I need to put on every single 'sure-grip' item I've ever looted/purchased and shove this chunk of dragon bone into your colon."

Have you also picked up the entire Enchanting perk tree? SPERG perks are a big deal above and beyond simple skillpoint allocation. So if you just consoled yourself to 100 enchant without also taking the entire tree, that may be part of it. You'll certainly want the top tier perk Extra Effect, because two enchantments per item gets stupid powerful; that's on top of a lot of enchantment power boosts on the way. also bear in mind the way SPERG works there are some cross-tree buffs. For example, some of the Smithing and Alchemy perks may be relevant. there's always the good old "enchant a bunch of +%enchant gear, equip, repeat" trick! Hope you like potionmaking and/or own Dragonborn, as it has some powerful enchantment gear. Smol posted:In my experience, it's best just to turn on the key ENB graphical enhancements, like detailed shadows and soft particles & soft particle lights, but to leave out the color/lightning tweaks (i.e. use UseOriginalPostProcessing=true & UseOriginalObjectsProcessing=true). Actually this is also a really good idea thing to have listed somewhere. You can always disable bits and pieces of any ENB - or disable huge chunks of it like this - as you please. I suggest NLA for a few reasons, but even I'd disable the DOF effect straightaway. Customizing your ENB isn't just possible, it's basically required. Modding is the game, right? I think TES General has a pretty good ENB comparison page, if anyone feels the urge to really get into it. In my opinion, it's a good jumping-off point, way better for ENB comparisons than trying to open 75 tabs on Nexus. Psion fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Sep 6, 2016 |

When I have more time for more preview experiments later, I'll see what throwing down a bunch more perks does. Though it was quite the discrepancy anyways. Some stuff like fortify skill I'd hit the apparent caps just fine with "Let's see what 100 enchanting will get me". 40% two-handed, 25% smithing, etc. 25% Spell school reduction working fine. Then I'd get some things that were "Almost" as good. +62 health/etc instead of +70. +25 Elemental damage instead of 30 (Smithing meant Fire was slightly better, but yeah). If SPERG was tuned around "You can't make your own Discount+regen worth a drat unless it's A: bathrobes, B: perked up", or Element resists NEEDING those perks that buffed armor element stuff, or jewlery in general, that would answer some questions. Along with all the stuff I was able to craft As good/almost as good as randos without going after perks. Considering the massive gap between "15% discount and 10% regen" Vs "22% discount and 150% regen" I just bought off the shelf from a shopkeeper though, I won't be surprised if that particular category doesn't quite line up. I am hoping it is as simple as "Just put in the perks" though, it would definitely appeal to trying other characters later more focused on perking up the magic, rather than getting all but one Smithing Perks, after realizing my Steel was stronger than Dwarven/Elvish early on. Edit: Also I heard they patched out the "Fortify enchant, fortify alchemy" loop by capping the results. Which lines up with a quick check on that before this. I was trying for "As good as what can happen normally, but on the items I want" more than "Hey let's make some robes of 720% magical thermonuclear war", anyways.

Let me know what your perk trees look like, but I never got deep into enchanting without an endgame character who had several other maxed out trees, so I don't know for sure how essential those perks are, just that I never had problems getting ludicrously powerful gear with them all. and hopefully, someone else who actually knows SPERG will say something, heh

This is a thing that was in Skyrim since release. I remember that in my first play-though on completely unmodded vanilla Skyrim, my Archmage with 100 Enchantment and all the perks from that tree, STILL couldn't make an item whose "magicka regen & random magic school" enchantment could come even close to that of apprentice alternation robe. I think its there so that mage robes wont get completely obsolete, because outside of their enchantment they are completely useless compared to armor.

So I tested out grabbing the pile of enchantment related perks, as well as the ones for that in alchemy. It did improve things, but hardly by anything worth mentioning Most stuff I already had capped, is capped. Things like shock damage have bumped up to 31 (compared to generics max of 30). Stuff that was underwhelming is still underwhelming. Elemental resists are now topping out at 48% for armors, 58% for clothing and diamond jewelry (Which while closer, still has quite a ways to go until 70% like generics can have). Trying to craft my own combo robes is now 19% discont/10% (Ten) regen. etc. So all the perks for a bonus provided just that, a bonus. Not a make or break difference. Stuff that was good without the perks (Such as 40% combat skill fortify still being 40%, Fortify Healt/mana/stamina goes from slightly under, to slightly over if it's clothing/fancy jewlery). Stuff that sucked without the perks, sucks with the perks. Again, on a scale of "Does not come even near naturally occurring leveled magic items". Still can't even craft element resists as good as 3rd best, or even 2nd best. Distant 4th if armor with "elemental effects are stronger on armor!" perks. EDIT: I could only imagine how I'd feel if I had been spoiled by insane fortify loops back in the day, instead of just kind of annoyed half the stuff I want doesn't even come close to store brand (despite the other half being "Yeah sure, let's just casually bust out +40% combat skill and 25% other skills to pretend I'm a pro one handed rogue expert.") Lt. Lizard posted:This is a thing that was in Skyrim since release. Yeah I saw that mentioned in passing for how that in particular was hosed in vanilla. Though I was hoping the unnoficial patch would have dealt with that sort of thing. Even if it only worked for clothing, that would have been something for fashion.

When I was playing this back in like 2013 I had it setup so that any favorited items would be visible on third person even if they weren't currently equiped provided they didn't occupy the same slot. This time after tinkering a bit I just can't get it working. I'm fairly sure I was using Armed To The Teeth but I've tried multiple mods that are supposed to do the same thing, with middling success. Especially with bows, none of them will work with bows. I've definitely got all the right skeletons for it. Any ideas what could I be screwing up? Is there an ini edit I'm not making?

Considering all ancient yet first results google checks talking about the wonders of Bullshit unlimited magical power, invulnerability, and feedback loops back in the day? At this point I am wondering if the fact the only custom enchantments that are cut rate are Regens, Resists, and Combo Discount+Regen, are "Working as intended". Whether Vanilla, or USLEEP deciding to uphold Bethseda's 'Vision'. Because everything else works great even without perks, if you hit 100 Enchanting with my setup. Also, all this poking around at things reminds me just how much I like SPERG, even if I've only really done one character (with several false starts). Poking around is revealing things like "Oh cool, that Fortifier perk in Alchemy can make basic Leather armor about good as Glass" (And even if it only works on Chest clothing, 50+ on a robe or barkeep shirt is still way more armor than zero). Which reminded me of how satisfying taking side perks to make my crafted Steel stuff worthwhile compared to Dwarven loot. Which also encouraged me to not rush 100 smithing like a robot and just naturally swing by to melt down my hoarder pile every so often once the drops and shops started selling the next big thing. Or I stumbled across an Ebony Mine. Or I realized "Wait, this latest Daedra heart means I have 4 total!". Because I didn't need to rush 100 skill while overdosing on performance enhancers to get nice stuff, I got to take my time. I'm branching out into stuff I would have entirely ignored forever, just for the cool toys. I screwed around with pickpocketing for a while to get that sweet +100 Carry/+50 stamina. I started casting spells on the side just to hit Apprentice for the Discounts, and now I'm saying "gently caress it, I'm taking Pro warrior to wizard school" and comforting myself with how loving metal my Ebony gauntlet's look shooting fire, while awkwardly running in circles around a pair of frost trolls firing baby's first firebolts. Having cool options even just from amateur branching out, instead of getting gently caress all without full dedication, has really taken me out of my usual very specific ruts. SPERG is good and the author should feel good. (PS: Thank christ for the walking = armor raise option. Once I got over the early hump of poo poo weapons and poo poo stamina, bandits stopped getting much chance to hit back). EDIT: Four 25% School cost discount items still = free casting, things are looking up for future Nerd wizard characters. Section Z fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Wow so to any budding mod users who don't want to be like me and stuck for days after installing 200 mods and not knowing why you occasionally crash while just wandering around MAKE A BASHED PATCH I had at least narrowed my issue down to crashing when the game tried to spawn in actors like NPCs or enemies. Turns out I had installed a handful of mods that edit their leveled lists, which apparently is really bad for the game if they conflict!! It's a small pain to go through each of your mods in Wrye Bash to see which ones edit a leveled list, but immediately after doing this I've experienced no crashing whatsoever even as I approach the 255 limit. It's really not too complicated though, if anyone's interested I could probably throw together some Absolute Beginner to Wrye Bash instructions on how to do it if i find the time. But yeah moral of the story is take the time to make a loving bashed patch instead of disabling and reenabling all of your mods, one by one, only to still not understand the problem

This just got uploaded to Nexus this afternoon, but looks like a pretty sweet idea... Mirrak unlocks Kohnariik It supposedly lets you substitute Miraak's mask for one of the others when placing them on the Shrine, enabling you to unlock the Kohnariik mask just a bit easier, say, without having to progress the main quest to nearly the end just for Nahkriin, or having to go thru the College to face Morokei.

So I've run into a bizarre problem in Skyrim in which I'm randomly getting messages regarding 'Green dots' that represent your health and something about a spell that fixes your robot? It's as if I've initiated a minigame except I haven't, and nothing happens except I get locked out of controlling my character. The only think I can think I'm running that would have a robot fighting minigame is Brhuce Hammar Legacy, but that mod isn't even activated on this save.

GunnerJ posted:Anyone know the basis of Sony's objection to modding "where users can do anything they want" with the game? It seems like some kind of liability concern. Back in June Bethesda said the three bigest problems with PS4-mods were the Sony-imposed limit of 900mb for mods (compared to Xbox One's 2GB) and mods not being able to add sounds and only textures not optmized for the PS4 (which would cause performance issues) because the PS4 apparently uses various proprietary file formats that I guess Sony doesn't want to have Bethesda release. Looking at it from the outside, it sort of looks like a Sony exec, who possibly didn't get what modding is or how it could benefit them, demanded all kinds of limitations on mods and wouldn't budge. And then Bethesda eventually went "gently caress it, if we released it like this people are just going to bitch endlessly at us. Better to just cut it completely." But like I said, that's pure guesswork. Maybe there were actual technological/legal issues that they couldn't solve. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Sep 9, 2016 |

CrusherEAGLE posted:Any useful advice for someone who has never modded, other than what's in the OP?\ Don't blindly follow some list of "must have" mods. At best these list are nice to skim over for ideas. Play the vanilla game for a bit until you have a good idea what you want to add/remove/change in your game. Don't install 100+ mods in one go. poo poo will inevitably break. Install mods in small batches, preferably one at the time and quickly test if everything works in between. Yes, this will be more tedious. But it will make it much easier to track down the problem when something goes wrong. Read stuff like readmes & description pages. Yes, sometimes these are written by some annoying asshat. But you should still skim over it and pay attention to stuff like requirements or instal/uninstal instruction. Also check the File Requirements on the Nexus' page. CrusherEAGLE posted:And should I wait for skyrim special edition, or does it not really matter that much? As for modding: The majority of mods & tools will probably need updating for the SE. When it comes to for example SKSE that update could take quite some time. And a lot of modders have left the scene, meaning a lot of mods will never be updated. So if you want to mod your game, I really wouldn't wait.
