Is there any good guide on how to start modding skyrim? I have a few ideas that involve making trekking across the landscape easier, but I have no idea where to start.

If you've never done any serious mod-creation before, then the best advice I can think off is to start small. It's fun to dream up grandiose mod ideas, but you're not going to churn out a huge overhaul mod or big new gameworld the first time you boot up the CK. And if you have to spent a lot of time learning how to use the CK and its various systems before you can actually create something, you'll probably burn out and quickly stop having fun. It's better to take on various smaller projects first that focus on different areas (think "create an item and place it in the gameworld", "modify an existing quest", "create new dialogue", etc) and finish each in turn.

Raygereio posted:I assume you mean creating your own mods? The Creation Kit wiki has various tutorials. If you have any specific questions, then besides using google, you can try posting them here and maybe someone will have an answer. The Bethesda forums is also a good place to do that. I'm not looking to make a big huge thing, just one or two tools to make hiking across Skyrim more immersive and fun. I'm trying to see if I can make crampons and an alpenstock. The simplest idea is that by equipping them, they'd let you climb steeper surfaces. Obviously this is most simply done via an enchantment effect, but my "this is gonna take a lot of work" version of the mod would make it so you "plant" (i.e. activate) the alpenstock in your hand into the ground. It would move you upwards, and then you'd plant the alpenstock to move up again.

Wyrmstooth is way better than Alexander J. Velicky Presents: Falskaar, an Alexander J. Velicky Presentation. It's Bethesda level stuff, nothing groundbreaking, but definitely worth playing.

Here's hoping EnaiSaidon turns his attention to Dragons and makes them cool again, one day. Thank you for posting a link to Wyrmstooth. Hopefully it works correctly. Also, Falskaar is fine (just more stuff to do at the end of the day lol).

I've never played it but the dude is hanging around in the Bannered Mare and talks and looks normal. Isn't it set to be started at like level 30? ALSO I've got to sing praises about the stability of SSE again. I've shoved all the SSE and SEE compatible Inconsquential/Interesting/Immersive mods that are out there that add people everywhere and it's nice seeing towns somewhat bustle. Even if you walk into in an Inn and there are 40+ people standing around quietly eating bread, with someone that has one leg clipping between frames with having their foot on the floor or the table they are next to. I even added the 'Populated Skyrim: Hell Edition' packaged PLUS the Civil War SE edition. Walking to the first mission for the Imperial Legion from Whiterun had a 100s soldier battle that was righteous and I had no performance issues at all. poo poo just works and works well and man, Special Edition is rad as gently caress.

I have the following stupid problem: My lovely underwater world I was using Realistic Water 2 at the time of taking that shot. I disabled it and the problem has not resolved I also use Re-Engaged ENB (enabling/disabling ingame doesnt seem to have any effect either). Not sure what the bloody problem is anymore. Edit: Nevermind the above. I managed to fix the problem by using BethINI. Burns fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Isn't the water looking like that caused by having Depth of Field off? At least, that's how it worked in Fallout 4 if I remember correctly.

Don't suppose you know of a way to copy one NPC's appearance to another? Like if I wanted to change Mjoll to look and fight like Lamashtu from the Clockwork mod? I know my way around XEdit and am wondering if you simply can't do this without cracking open the Creation Kit. There are a couple scripts that people made for TES5Edit but wouldn't you know it they don't 'get' SSEEdit and instead are hardcoded to look for Skyrim and not SSE.

Raygereio posted:I think your biggest task will be figuring out how to let the player actually walk up a steep surface. That's handled by the game's physics and movement mechanics, which (besides perhaps via some SKSE plugin voodoo) aren't open for us to mess around with. Maybe you can accomplish what you want by giving the player a few moments of flight when they use the alpenstock. Yep, I've found this to be extremely hard, and I'm not even sure SKSE voodoo can solve it that way. Potentially you could make it so that using the alpenstock creates an invisible cube X feet away for the player to jump up on, which might work. Once you use the alpenstock again, it deletes the previous cube and makes a new one. Mind you, I'm more messing around. If I can't make this work it's no big deal, I just want to have fun and see if I can make something that would be useful in the game world.

I'm 80 hours deep in my Orc Warrior Wildcat with Stormcloaks play through and about halfway through the main quest and I'm losing the will to play the game again.. Combat is trivial.. a full orcish armor that's legendary, enchanted to +50 hp on items and 80 heavy armor, 70 block and such just makes the game so easy again. It started off perfectly hard and now it's the same old boring skyrim. Bethsoft really makes great stories/settings but such terrible combat system.

So stop playing and try something else? There is something about having control over the game with the degree that we have that just grabs me, I dunno. Usually I do ~role playing~ things and play to the character rather than what makes sense as a person playing a game. I just LOVE mods, the same reason I got so into Minecraft for so long was the same sort of hook that Skyrim (and Oblivion and Morrowind before that) has.

I just enjoy relaxing/walking around in a world. I'd say expectations are a big part of enjoyment as well. I expect a ES game to have a bad story, bad combat and probably a somewhat interesting world to explore. And, with mods, interesting choices for building a character. It'll be easy, but not necessarily boring because I wasn't expecting difficulty going in anyway--I just want to relax and build a character. On the other hand, I couldn't get into Witcher 3 because I expected more and it frequently disappointed me by being just as bad as a bethesda game or actually worse in other areas, like exploration. Similarly, I haven't bought FO4 yet because my expectations for FO as a series increased unfairly after NV. I'd have a hard time lowering them enough to enjoy FO4 since the entire time I'd just be comparing to NV. So long as they don't let a better developer touch ES my expectations will forever be low, I'll forever assume all pre-release stuff is lies and I'll continue enjoying the games. I'll sometimes think "man, I wish this played like dragon's dogma" but because I don't expect it to play like dragon's dogma it's fine. Perhaps you expected Wildcat to make and keep combat non-trivial?

Agreed on the combat system but I also think the standard warrior build is boring as hell anyway so that doesn't help. Mages get cool toys and Thieves get to have fun sneaking around but all a Warrior can do is the bog-standard click-click bethesda combat. As an aside I'm doing a rune-focused mage build and it's a lot of fun. Having to think a little more tactically then just putting the cursor on a bad guy and clicking the button has spiced things up a bit.

To be fair: He's not entirely wrong in that reply. Your average mod user probably doesn't need an installation order to manage, in addition to the loadorder. Especially when your average mod user actually is clueless. I mean, we're talking about the sort of person who needs a 30 minute "how to install SKSE" video and even then they screw it up because the actions of unpacking an archive and moving a handful of files are too complex for them. And in certain cases not paying attention to the installation order can screw things up. For example dragons not giving souls was common problem that could be caused by people having sorted the unofficial patches' plugin correctly, but having the UDBP's files be overwritten by the USKP ones. I don't know what the current plans are for NMM2.0. But Tannin talked about the main thing being a basic mod manager and for things like MO-like features to be optional plugins. That's probably the best way to handle things.

What is the general "average user" experience for picking up MO? My gut feeling is that you either can't make heads or tails of it and quickly go back to whatever you were using before, or you actually figure it out, in which case how install order works is no longer some baffling mystery to you. Plus MO has a thing to help you make sure install and load order match.

As a pretty clueless user I will attest that MO is super easy to use and if you can't figure out how to run a modded game through MO then I don't know what to say beyond you're unintelligent and/or severely lacking in ability and/or willingness to read simple instructions.

Mod Organizer is so good that I can't go back to using anything other than maybe Wrye Bash/Flash for managing mods and am waiting for NMM 2.0 before delving into Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE modding as Mod Organizer 2 is unfinished and I'm to stubborn to use anything else at this point.
