I'm using Open Cities and it works great. Glad that the past history of Gategate is gone and Arthmoor is less up his own rear end these days. I'm also using Morrowloot Ultimate and I like the idea of it but enemies are constantly kicking my rear end. The Jarl of Whiterun asked me to clear out some bandits and I walked in and got completely trounced at level 10. This is a dungeon right next to the starting area so it's a bit perplexing why it's so difficult. And the first plot-related dungeon where you have to get a dragonstone was a complete slog. I dunno if I'm just bad at the game or if Morrowloot Ultimate is making the game a lot harder. I thought it just changed the loot of the enemies, not their actual level/difficulty.

I think I'm going to eat my words on the photorealistic ENB. Yes, daylight is extremely pretty, but I cannot find a set of settings that looks good at night. Individually tinkering with the nighttime gamma settings and what not works fine for one weather, but not for the rest. I think I'm just going to experiment with EFLX and NAT vs other weather mods and see what works best. It'd probably save me fps as well.

Speaking of that, what good DLC-size mods are there, actually? Stuff with quests to do and stories to tell, but that aren't cringe festivals. Besides Trainwiz's stuff I mean. Things I'm looking at: - Bruma - Ravengate - The Forgotten City - Gray Cowl of Nocturnal - Cult of Agnar - Vigilant Voiced - Sulfur and Fire Also since I'm planning a mage run: - Spectraverse - Aetherius

I really liked the quest series for Clockwork, a house mod. I have forgotten city installed but havent done it yet. Moon and Star was okay, if having a rather sudden end. Edit: you should grab the SSE conversion of Dwemertech too, it's pretty sweet. Edit x2: LOL at the typo right in the goddamn description of Aetherius "EPIC SELL PACKAGE". SELL SELL SELL!

I enjoyed Forgotten City, but how good I found the VAs was entirely relative to how decent their recording set-up was. I've downloaded Dragons Keep and I love it. I've already stocked it with a bunch of urchins plucked from the unforgiving streets (except Aventus - I'm assuming the window to adopt him was before he ended up in Riften and lost all his interaction abilities). The only thing that bugs me is the constant dragon noises when you're outside, but that's pretty bearable - sometimes a big one will land on your house and chill. Just wish my followers would go indoors instead of loving around in the courtyard  Granted I'm messing with followers and having non-standard ones like Ondolemar, so it's probably to do with AFT and it's not a deal-breaker. edit: Yep, I just need to tell them to move into the actual follower quarters and not the general court area.

Did the Special Edition change how followers work? I've noticed a few times I've gone into caves/dungeons/houses/etc. and Lydia won't follow me. Is there a mod to force your follower to always follow you into a new area? I'm sick of babysitting her.

I’m using NMM with SSE, is there a particular reason why loading LOOT through NMM isn’t actually sorting my mod order? Doing it by hand is going to give me carpal tunnel

^^^ Don't load it through NMM. It isn't necessary. Close NMM, then run Loot independently - what's probably happening is Loot is doing it's business, but NMM is still 'managing' load order. What you're probably seeing, though, is NMM not updating the load order. If you ran loot, then closed NMM and relaunched it would probably update to what Loot sorted. Either way - close NMM when launching Loot, so don't bother launching it through NMM.Cat Mattress posted:Speaking of that, what good DLC-size mods are there, actually? Stuff with quests to do and stories to tell, but that aren't cringe festivals. Besides Trainwiz's stuff I mean. Spectraverse is kind of weak. It seems better than Enai's other magic quest mod, Dwemertech, but only just. As 'just' a magic mod some of the spells are pretty good, but I'd say you're just as well better of taking a pass since most are pretty well tied to the quest progression, where the quest isn't anything to write home about.

Does anyone know if the Human Spirit trait for imperials can be reset in Imperious Races? I was running a paladin type character but it's not really panning out how I want so I want to respec and put more perks into enchanting, restoration and possibly one handed rather than two, but I didn't think when I assigned my trait and took 50 points out of Magicka for 100 in stamina rather than just 50 extra in stamina. Also, with Ortinator, how badly does the "perks at 50/75/100 skill points" break the game? Edit: Since I'm going to respec anyway, do people prefer heavy or light armor? The heavy armor tree seems better, but light armor seems more interesting with the dodging aspects of it. CascadeBeta fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Oct 24, 2017 |

I usually play light armour, just for the versatility. Better move speed and stealth mostly, but I'm a smithing addict so I don't feel the armour class drop as much.

I’m playing through the quest right now, and while the dungeons are pretty good outside of a couple annoyances, the story is leaving a hell of a lot to be desired. It often feels like the dialog is just spouting random nonsense that you have to piece together after the fact in the journal, you repeatedly have to backtrack back and forth between Winterhold and Solitude early on, the voice quality on the dark elf priest you meet up with is amateurish at best compared to the main two “gods” (his dialogue is also where the random nonsense bullshit crops up the most; it frequently feels like I’ve skipped over plot important dialog talking to him that I have to piece together from the journal). Like, there is some cool stuff to see in Spectreverse, but I don’t see it taking up any sort of residence in my future load orders. Enai has the right to feel ashamed about this.

One light, one dark. Which do you want to team up with. What other story do you need. I like Spectraverse for the spell variety and design, and the (very skimpy) amount of story was just a bonus. If there's one flaw in the spell design, it's one shared with Apocalypse: Too many spells that can only be used outside. I think the biggest design flaw with Spectraverse is that Enai didn't account for people wanting to do the whole quest right goddamn now - he designed it to be done gradually and piecemeal as you were doing other things and your Destruction skill gradually rose, cumulating in a battle with the Magna-Ge you spurned.

Isn't that the heightmap included in the base files? Also just getting back into Skyrim modding, glad to see I was wrong about SKSE64. The Creation Club is a bit weirder, though, I have mixed feelings on it. Survival is really cool, since the Creation Club allows for a bunch of new changes that weren't possible via the actual Creation Club SDK, it feels a bit smoother than iNeed/Frostfall so far for me. Also I'm going to look at contributing to Mod Organizer 2 development now that I have a bunch more free time and a better job situation. My two goals are to help get it stabilized with Skyrim SE, and also add Morrowind support. Just finished setting up my dev environment, so hope it goes well.

What are the best SSE mods for the Civil War? I've never actually done the quests and I hear they're super-disappointing in vanilla. I'm considering: Warzones - Civil Unrest for SSE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2360/ Open Civil War SSE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11076/ Populated Skyrim Civil War SE Edition: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5288/ Civil War Aftermath SE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3484/ But I'm concerned about compatibility and how much of a drudge the quest would be. -Warzones seems neat but I'm worried it might tank performance -Open Civil War makes it seem like you're playing Risk instead of actually fighting, but maybe I'm not understanding it correctly. -Populated Skyrim Civil War just seems like it adds patrols, which I'm already getting from Immersive Patrols SE -Civil War Aftermath SE seems like its all about destroying settlements of the faction you're not in during/after the war. Does it break anything in-game if you destroy enemy camps? Any advice? Has anyone tried any of these? Or should I just do the vanilla one?

I'm using Warzones - Civil Unrest, and there can be a huge performance hit. I'm running a high quality ENB with MFAA forced on at 50fps average in outdoors. One battle I came across along the way to Ivarsted tanked my fps to the 30s and 20s. It was loving crazy though: a three way melee between about 8 stormcloaks, 8 imperials, and 10 bandit mage. Absolutely nuts to get involved in. It definitely makes the war feel more alive. That being said, avoid the Assault addon unless you really like dying randomly to catapults/landmines/suicide fanatics.
