Im pretty sure it's because SSEEdit doesn't recognize quite all of the (sub)record types SSE added, and so it just strips them out. I don't really have any proof of this, it just fits the evidence.

Sir Potato posted:ModOrganizer is coming up with no order or incompatibility warnings or errors, and the only one it is popping up with is saying I have things in my Overwrite folder which I don't entirely understand. It's the least of your worries, but the simplest to fix. At the very end of your mod list is a line called "overwrite", that's basically MO's temp folder. It's for dynamically created files (like FNIS animation files). In Windows, make an empty folder in MO's Mods folder called "OvWr" or something. Open MO. OvWr will appear in the mod list as an empty mod. Drag it to the end of your mods next to Overwrite, double-click Overwrite, then drag and drop its contents onto OvWr. The "files in overwrite" alert will go away. Make sure OvWr is checked and at the end of your mod order, and keep it there. Whenever you run a patcher or FNIS, open Overwrite and drag the contents to OvWr... MO will remind you. Every decent MO guide says "dont leave files in Overwrite, I'm not loving kidding". I'm not sure why, I never had a problem, but it's simple enough to fix so why not. Now lets get SKSE squared away Sir Potato posted:When I search for an SKSE folder, the only one I see it in is under Documents>My Games>Skyrim>SKSE. I don't see anywhere a folder that goes Data>SKSE. But that wouldn't fix the instant quit problem I assume. Are you sure SKSE is installed? Download skse_1_07_03.7z and dump the contents to your main Skyrim folder. That should put the .exe and .dlls in the main Skyrim directory, and create Skyrim>Data>SKSE. Now that SKSE is installed... Sir Potato posted:I searched further and found a mod called SafetyLoad that was supposed to fix the problem. - Download SKSE Plugin Preloader, you'll have to do it manually. Save "D3DX9_42 - Wrapper v3-75795-3.zip" somewhere. Open it in Windows. Drag out "d3dx9_42.dll" and drop it into your Games>Skyrim directory. - Download Crash Fixes. It fixes a shitzillion crash-causing bugs. Go to the Nexus files page, click "Download With Manager", then let MO install it like any other mod. MO will automatically place SKSE plugins in the proper directory. Put it early in your load order (right after DLC and USLEEP). Its Nexus page says "To use the memory patch, open CrashFixPlugin.ini, find UseOSAllocators=0, change it to UseOSAllocators=1". To do that, double-click on Crash Fixes in the mods list to open an info window and go to the "INI-Files" file tab. You can click on and edit CrashFixPlugin.ini directly from there, the UseOSAllocators entry is right after the first comments. Don't forget to hit the "save" button afterwards. - Now to run Skyrim, launch "skse_loader.exe" from inside of MO (ALWAYS do EVERYTHING from inside of MO, if possible). Good luck. If it STILL crashes on load, as a last resort install Load Game CTD Fix. It takes a LOT longer to load a saved game with this running, so be patient and give it a few minutes after the screen goes blank. It solves some CPU issues by essentially loading your save game twice, thus takes a lot longer to start the game. Even if none of this works, you've narrowed list of possible CTD causes waaaay down edit: When I say Games>Skyrim, I mean the directory where the actual Skyrim game is, like c:/Games/Skyrim/, not a "/Documents/My Games/Skyrim/" folder. MO doesn't touch that one. edit2: Anyone installing Skyrim:LE and using Mod Manager should do the above, because you'll want SKSE and the fixes no matter what. "Load Game CTD Fix" is the only optional part. Syd Midnight fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Aug 9, 2017 |

It's for dynamically created files (like FNIS animation files). Thanks for this, I really appreciate it. First things first, though, I subscribed to, or downloaded, however it works, SKSE from the Workshop instead of downloading it and installing it through the link you provided (which is what I used to do). Is that what's causing a lot of the confusion from not being able to find the folders? Once I get that squared away I'll go ahead and start on the crash fixes download which I was considering doing anyway, but didn't.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:never use the workshop ever forever Fair enough. It's easy enough to use and seemed like a more efficient alternative. That being said, is it a simple enough situation to just uninstall SKSE from my library and then reinstall it using the site given in the OP?

Sir Potato posted:Is that what's causing a lot of the confusion from not being able to find the folders? Though for actual mods the Workshop is best avoided. It has problems. As for your original problem. Installing SKSE doesn't create the \Data\SKSE folder. If that folder doesn't exist and some mod asks you place something in there, you can simply create the SKSE folder under Data. Edit: Since you're using MO, creating a new subfolder in MO's moddirectory should also work. For example <MO>\SKSE\SKSE\skse.ini Syd Midnight posted:Every decent MO guide says "dont leave files in Overwrite, I'm not loving kidding". I'm not sure why, I never had a problem, but it's simple enough to fix so why not. It's not strictly necessary to keep the Overwrite folder clean. Not bothering to do isn't that likely to be an issue. Though if you want to use different mod profiles in MO or want to uninstall a certain mod that has files in Overwrite, you can run into problems. I'd say it's just good practice to sort the files that are being placed there. For example if a mod generates a .ini file the first time you boot the game with it installed, move that .ini files to that mod's folder so you keep all that mod's files in one place.

Far Grip is the best spell of all time. It really should be included in the base game if for no other reason than rescuing your followers when they get stuck. It's also awesome for grabbing running NPCs or an archer or spellcaster that is annoyingly dodgy. And it's fun to grab and go into kill cam when they arrive. I can't remember which mod it's in. My runner up would be the harvesting spell that collects ingredients around you although you have to be careful because it will steal.

Tasteful Dickpic posted:So Last Seed came out in May. Does anyone have thoughts? Once the full version is released it'll probably be the best "Needs" mod but the prologue version (the one linked) has a pretty big bug where food rots pretty much instantly after a couple of days of having the mod installed due to the way it's handling time internally.

As with most of the survivalist side of Skyrim, I don't think it's really for me (I'm quite content with iNeed) but I'm glad it's there for those who want it.

# ? Aug 14, 2017 16:35 |

iNeed is OK, but Last Seed does a few interesting things to make needs management both more interesting, and forgiving. The big on is a sort of "focus" setup, where your needs will not deteriorate while in dungeons - which helps mitgate the persistent menu surfing that often drags down 'survivalist' playthroughs. Also, I like that food is still a utility, than mere resource sink. Being well fed means better health regeneration/performance. Most people ignore food in vanilla anyway, and iNeed tends to be a little dry in the long run. I find a similar problem with it as I do with New Vegas Hardcore mode - after a while the novelty of eating just isn't there. It just isn't a concern, and becomes a tedious chore. Last Seed may not exactly change that, but the abstraction of improved attributes makes the idea of packing balanced meal(s) for the road is a good idea, along with the notion of not over extending and encouraging the player to make some stops from time to time to refresh. That it also normalizes things is also a plus, since it helps mitigate the whole idea of pausing the world while you magically transfer food in your pack to your stomach, and instantly cancel the effects of being hungry. Instead, it encourages a little up and down to stretch resources, but similarly avoids use of food as some sort of instant debuff cure, just because the debuff is "hungry". Unfortunately, it isn't there yet, and hasn't really made any progress, so as much as I like the direction of Last Seed, it just can't replace iNeed at present.

Something I installed is running my video card at 99% and my game freezes after about 15-20 minutes. All the graphic intense stuff got installed early and it was fine, most of the stuff since then has been armors or followers. It really started after I installed Better Cities and Bruma but I uninstalled both of those and it never got better. The only commonality is that I'm always outside. I uninstalled Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE and that seemed to help a little but I'm still freezing up. I uninstalled Real Roads and am about to try again. I've read all the guides to solving this really I'm at the point where I might have delete and reinstall. SSE. edit; dumping Real Roads actually made a big improvement. wormil fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Aug 17, 2017 |

I'm remembering that I totally have Dawnguard and Dragonborn now, and the "mod the gently caress out of Skyrim and maybe play it a bit" itch is coming back to hit me hard. When I did mod the game I used SPERG, but now I'm noticing some insane-looking SPERG-Ordinator combination patch that seems to add a ton of ridiculous perks. They actually look like really fun additions, although I'm wondering how cluttered the perk tree must look with all of them combined. What do you guys think of it? Too gimmicky, or a good addition?

I imagine a lot of the loot ones are fine, but I'm a lot less sure about stuff like magic overhauls and Dwemer crafting being fully compatible.

I notice The Sperginator is also currently patched up to 7.53, rather than all the way up to Ordinator 9.0. Is there a way to reconcile the two mods through this patch in both of their most up to date versions, or would it be best to just take the 7.53 instead?
|
# ? Aug 20, 2017 22:41 |

Probably not. You would have to go back through and edit all of the relevant perks manually to the 9.0 values, at which point you might as well make the mod yourself from scratch.
