So as someone who's been away for a long-rear end time, what's the go-to mod manager for Special Edition? The standby of MO doesn't work with it, and MO2 apparently isn't actually a thing yet. Is it time to return to the bad old days of the Nexus Mod Manager?

NMM is fine unless you have a hardcore need for VFS, I think

Isn't this MO2? It's SE compatible at any rate.

if you're just starting out with sse then you can go to the built in mod browser thing and just install all the popular mods that look interesting. this is technically a really dumb idea for reasons the thread will be happy to explain, but sse is so stable it still works, I've played 80 hours without a single crash or glitch.

Honestly, I may use that to grab the more important mods on my next playthrough. My biggest problem with it was that it didn't have a progress bar that I could see - I had no idea how long it would tie up my computer while downloading poo poo, but now I have a better internet connection.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I’m having trouble getting NMM to directly install things I’ve downloaded from the nexus. I can add them manually but it’s just like checking them on and off. Is this going to be an issue where the mods have more complicated installation options like realistic water? I think the problem is that I use MO for Oldrim and it’s messing up the associated file types, but even running things as an administrator, I can’t reset the preferences. I’d ideally still like to use MO for the old version and NMM for the new one at least for now, but I’m not particularly comfortable with modding in the first place so the installation thing put me off from trying it.

When NMM checks a mod you've clicked on, it means it's installed. Anything with an installer will pop up while it's installing and let you change options and what not.

For SLE I'd go MOrdaniser but for SE so far - especially if you use SKSE64 I've had a much better time with NMM.

I need to restart MO2 every once in a while, but it installs mods, loads the vfs and runs skse properly. Aside from the instability of MO itself, I haven't run into any problems.

the question you have to ask yourself for Skyrim SE is how many mod profiles do you plan to run in parallel and how different are they going to be if your answers tend towards "one" or "not very" then it doesn't matter, use whatever's the least bullshit to use. If your answers are "ten" and "extremely, to the point of 800 installed mods of which each profile maybe has 25 that overlap" then yeah, consider MO2. Then again if you're going to do that, you probably already know you have to use MO for it. for LE, mod organizer or bust though CascadeBeta posted:When NMM checks a mod you've clicked on, it means it's installed. Anything with an installer will pop up while it's installing and let you change options and what not. writing installers sucks, I might add. XML? in 2017? for shame then again they're called FOMOD installers for a reason, and that reason is the format hasn't changed since 2007 or whenever the hell FO3 came out Psion fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Nov 20, 2017 |

The only problem I've had thus far with MO is that it doesn't recognize .esl files, but I only have one (I got Survival mode when it was free so w/e). So I just enabled that poo poo by running SSE through Steam, and now it works fine even though MO is bitching that these .esp files have disabled masters and whatnot. It does crash a lot after I leave the game, though. Not sure what's up there. Other than that, it seems to work fine.

I miss DSR, I was a sucker for having a shield on my back. Granted, the first part of that is in place (auto equip shield on back), but DSR's automation of the appropriate meshes was a godsend.

Are there any SSE mods that make the following changes? Lower carry weights. Add weights to arrows/lockpicks/etc. Make equipped armour weigh nothing. I'm looking to do a slow-paced proper survival mode but it's hard when I can carry around 100 pounds off food / supplies, with multiple armour sets and an army's worth of arrows.

I get why people want to turn Skyrim into a survival game, it's got a nice mix of environments, they have a lot of food as consumables, and a wide range of clothing/armor. But it's probably never going to be as good of a survival game as one of the very, very many ones that were meant to be a survival game.

Probably not, but to my knowledge none of the games meant to be played as survival games let you waltz into your next door neighbor's house, throw a basket over their head, and steal everything off their dinner table with impunity.

I mean, you could basically recreate almost all of the mechanics from The Long Dark with Frostfall and a few other mods. After that all you need is a mod that removes all the NPCs so you're just alone in the wilderness with animals.

Elder Scrolls works best when you start out as a pathetic, weak piece of poo poo and grow into a ludicrously powerful god-tier being of unfathomable power. At some point, all that survival stuff would become irrelevant anyway.

Trying to figure out Vsync: I've been messing with ENB's borderless windowed settings, and as far as I can tell if borderless windowed is on, Vsync doesn't work. I've tried setting Vsync on in the INI, forced on Nvidia Inspector, and via enblocal.ini and none of them stick. If I disable borderless windowed, it works again, so I've confirmed that borderless windowed is the problem. I've tried OneTweak's borderless windowed setting as well, and that also causes the same problem. Is there any known way to set Skyrim Legendary Edition so that I can have both Vsync active and alt-tab easily without freezing the game?

any form of windowed mode should typically use your monitor's refresh rate, so I doubt vsync will fix that?

Maybe somebody can help me out. I finally switched to MO, and it works fine when I make a merged patch, but when I go to the next step and make a bashed patch, it'll start a new game, but the bed in Live Another Life won't work, and it then will, without fail, ctd on when I try to load. I didn't merge any mods, just waned to merge the leveled lists, and it won't work.

Tested this one because I never take it. Works the same as it did in LE for me... Which is to say not really the way I expect it to work. The 3 hour cooldown seems wonky and they get in the way when spawning while I'm shooting an arrow/bolt. I'm 95 in illusion and not noticed a single thing messed up. Zore posted:Also the Best Friend ones in thr speech tree and a handful of others scattered around. Nah. Been using the "best friend" perk this entire play-through. Everything works including selling/summoning. I am using SKSESE, and haven't gone so far as to check every single buff percentage and such, but haven't noticed anything glaringly broken at all. Not trying to champion anything here. I'm just not seeing these issues. ymmv though.

I think the cooldown only applies if they die. Good to hear this is working. Might be time to finally try the new version then. SPERG and AFT are two mods I always go back to because I dislike every alternative. Skyrim isn't Skyrim to me without them now. Anyone using Forgotten Magic? Does that work in new Skyrim?

Speaking of models that annoy me; The first-person weapon models. Swords are stubby and short as gently caress. And they look about 3 inches thick. It's extremely egregious on the Ebony Sword, if you compare the third person and first person models. I can't loving unsee it, and I have never found a mod that addresses it.

It is has also been a long time for me but I do remember finding this mod and as far as I recall, was not satisfied. That may be because I looked for 1st person examples in their screenshots and didn't find a single one, tho

I don't believe weapons have "first person models". That's just for playable races, clothes, and armors.
