fwiw NMM does this now too, since the dude who did MO pretty much ported it into NMM wholesale.

Also, Point The Way is a lovely mod. I don't think Arthmoor even checked to see if the signs were pointing down the path or directly at the destination as the crow flies. Every sign I've passed that was added by that mod is pointing at its destination with no regard to what is in the way.

Knowing him, I imagine someone tried to tell him, and he went on a rant about the cartographical capabilities of northern European medieval era and how it's actually more historically accurate and thus lore-friendly for the signs to be off and faaaaaaaaaaaaart

Then closed the thread and banned the poster. The end.

I'm playing the new remastered version on Xbox one. It looks exactly the freaking same. The commercial where they show this outdoor scene that looks a million times better, yeah that's a lie.

Newrim is 64 bit, and so it allocates as much ram as it needs. Do you have any texture packs installed? If not, are you running the game on a spinny drive and if so is it defragmented?

Texture packs can really make your computer chug if you go over your vram limit on your card, because then it has to allocate system ram to video memory, and it is hundreds of times slower than on card memory.

I don't have that much, although some of it may not be optimized for SE. I am running on an old school HD. I do have an external one that's solid state. Should I move everything to it?

Mod Picker finally went into open beta. Apparently, you're supposed to have 160 "Reputation" in order to add mods to the system, but testing it it let me add Mazz's End with only a piddly 5 Rep. Guess they're waiving the requirements for a while to actually get content in.

Is there any way to fix the weird player physics? Like the sticky geometry (getting stuck and slowly sliding down a totally vertical surface is a bit odd, innit?) and having 100% air control, etc. Makes the game feel old like nothing else, I think.

Last time I played this was at launch and I've never played with mods really.

Halfway through I installed something that put three dolmens down and you could pick perks but I'll be hosed if I remember the mod's name or what exactly it added but it was quite neat.

I've seen some suggestions pass by in this thread but at this point I just want to play a game and not spend an hour trying out various mods and mod combos.
What are the definite to-gets (at this time) for making everything incredibly pretty and lush, and making combat a (lot) harder? I want to avoid a re-do of my first game where I was level 43, decked out to the nines in magical armor and one-smashing everything in the face with some ridiculous daedric mace.

To clarify, I still want magical armor and to smash people in the face, but maybe they could put up a bit of a fight. :v:
So far I'd like to try out open cities and its attendant mods, as well as the one that makes you freeze to death if you don't put on clothes, but some of the posts here have not been very glowing about the campfire mechanism.

I'd love something more like Diablo's health orbs. SkyUI lets you bind stuff to the numbers but I wouldn't mind a proper fixed hotbar with spells and weapons.

I've been enjoying Wildcat combat, seems to make it a bit more tactical. Frostfall and Campfire are must haves for me. SkyUI 2.2 works with SSE. Open cities, and live another life.

What the gently caress :pwn: This is Skyrim Special Edition with Open Cities and JK's Whiterun. It wasn't doing this until I fast traveled back to Whiterun from the Lover's Stone.

The only other mods I have installed are Instant Mining, Ordinator (with More Perk Points), Better Bounties, Run For Your Lives, When Vampires Attack, and the Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch.

E: Restarting Skyrim fixed it. I hope this isn't a sign that my graphics card is dying, I haven't even had it for a year. :(

I was having that exact thing happen. Restarting helped, but it would come back when I fast traveled back at some point. I made a bashed patch and it hasn't happened since though. :shrug:

if I come back to whiterun and it seems a little skimpy, population wise, is that because they've been vampired? any fix once it's happened?

Not necessarily. There's another disappearing NPC bug that doesn't kill anybody, just makes them go away for some amount of time. They'll come back eventually but it's weird. For instance, I had the whiterun armor shop guy disappear sometime near launch, assumed a vampire had killed him and shot his corpse through the ground or something and then a few days ago he was in his shop again.

I'm sure there are console commands to manually re-locate NPCs or test for death.

You can (probably) look up their prid number on the uesp wiki if vanilla or doing a 'help "character name" 4' console command, followed by 'prid prid id' and then a 'moveto player'. I think you can also do 'prid id.getav Health' to check if they are alive (a return value of non-zero).

If the npc is dead, I think you can get it back with the moveto command followed by 'recycleactor', still targeting the npc in the console.

Hey, at least they're better than they were in oblivion (not a high bar to clear), though I always tend to install a prettier eye mod in any TES game, because bethesda and faces...

<insert image of the adoring fan here>

Also, Dragonborn is pretty good in that you get a little bit of that Morrowind magic in it what with the ashen landscape, a dunmer mushroom settlement and whatnot. Plus a fair bit of interaction with one of the less used Daedric princes.

Me, I'm currently playing through the fan-made dlc "Beyond reach" which is promising thus far, even if the voice acting is pretty spotty. Can also recommend Falskaar if you haven't played that yet, because that thing is solid.

Yeah, I've heard that said - sadly it crashed pretty hard on me when I tried it last time (after entering the first area proper of the mod, using any exit except the one I came from resulted in a CTD). I imagine I have a mod conflict somewhere, and I'll have to sort it out in the future, because I'd like to play it.

e: removed a lot of posting, I think I have things under control now.


Since this post is here anyway, what would be some good mods to start with? I figure SkyUI and SPERG would be good to start with. I'd like having more interesting talents and ways to develop them, which afiak SPERG has covered. I'd also like a better assortment of weapons and armor so I figure I'll just try what looks interesting in the OP. Since my PC isn't super great I'm not going to mess with graphical stuff right now.

Yeah, I just figured out that will usually fix it which is why I just got rid of the text wall. I messed around a bit and it seems to be running good, so now I can start trying out the modding. One thing weird though is I swear sometimes the game feels a little "janky" even though it runs around 60fps.

Google frametiming and see why "about 60" is not actually anywhere close to 60fps in terms of fluidity of motion. Without freesync/gsync "about 60" might as well be 30fps, since you're periodically getting "30 fps" frame update intervals.

For OG Skyrim LessIntrusiveHUDii will let you scale, and rotate, various HUD elements. Default key to get the HUD unlocked is Enter on the Numberpad. On screen instructions from there. I am certain it requires SKSE so it isn't likely to be available on SSE any time soon, and anything else might be even more clumsy to edit.

Dunno about numbers on bars, but LessIntrusiveHUDii will let you switch the way the healthbar depletes so it drains from oneside to the other, rather than the nearly impossible to intuitively make sense of center orientation. Basically a requirement for ANY mods that end up making the gameplay more deadly.

I really like the controller but skyrim is dumb and shuts off the keyboard when you're using it, which is a pain.
