However, if he has a good video card and runs an FPS friendly ENB it should be no isse. Such as Rudy or Snowfall. Both look great BTW, none of that DoF nonsense. ENBs do a lot more then reshades. EDIT: Project ENB is also something a lot of people will like if they enjoy more traditional ENB effects like DoF and sun scattering. Not my personal favorite, but a really solid one.

Terrorforge posted:One time I went to Nexus page for FROST, the Fallout 4 survival overhaul, to point out a pretty major level design flaw to the author. There was this point of no return close to the starting area where you'd drop down and had no way back up. From there there were two paths. One that lead to an impassable gauntlet of narrow walkways teeming with enemies that would spot you from half a mile away and instakill you the moment they touched you, and another that lead to a huge, sprawling area with plenty of goodies, spread out enemies you could actually fight - and a dead end. So by the time you realized that the only way out was through the impossible gauntlet, you'd already spent hours painstakingly killing, exploring and looting your way through the cul-de-sac and were now faced with the choice of either cheating or throwing away a whole afternoon's worth of progress. Modders are never* good designers.

I need to try this Snowfall, I guess. I'm a sucker for trying new presets as part of my vague attempts to write one myself (I don't recommend it)wiegieman posted:Don't use ENB, use ReShade. It's much more user friendly and it lets you adjust things in real time. ENB lets you adjust things in realtime also? shift-f12, my friend also as with reshade, it's down to the preset you use. A lot of ENB presets are bad and/or require a chain of 574,000 mods to look "as intended" which is usually bad, so there are only a few gems out there. But I guarantee I could find a ton of poo poo reshade presets too

Don't use ENB or ReShade, use Imaginator, available for Oldrim or SE. Uses in-engine effects with negligible performance hit.

I've never installed a body replacer because I considered it would be immersion breaking if every female NPC in Skyrim had a cartoonish centerfold body. Consequently I don't know much about how they work. But after giving Bijin Wives a try, which includes the option to install UNP or CBBE bodies along with it, I decided I kinda like doing body replacement for a few important NPCs (e.g. my wives). My question now is if I want to expand this to a few more NPCs, is there any straightforward way to do this selectively? Can I install CBBE or UNP without having it effect every NPC? Likewise, with armor/clothing replacers for CBBE/UNP compatibility, will it break if I have CBBE-friendly tavern clothes or Nocturnal's Robes installed but not all the NPCs are affected by CBBE? Any advice on this is appreciated!

Yes, but unless you have memory to spare, note that unique body models will be just that - exclusive to every individual NPC, where they used to all share like 3 models or something. Having one or two NPCs with a unique model isn't a big deal. Having dozens with unique 4K textures on the other hand. The reason to just use UNP, or CBBE across all NPC is because they straight replace the vanilla models. So while they are high quality models or can be used with high resolution textures, because they are shared across most NPCs, they don't actually impose a significant increase in demand on resources. There are ways around this, since each NPC has an entry telling it which model to use, which is how the unique NPC body models even work - and you COULD tell them to just point to a single model. But again - after you're editing dozens of NPC records, you had just as well replace all NPC body models and call it a day - particularly since mixing and matching body types (Vanilla with UNP with CBBE) means some of your armors will not be "compatible", resulting in broken seams, distorted textures, etc. You could of course work around this by only equipping respective NPCs with armors that are installed specifically for respective models, which isn't a big deal on followers, but prior to getting the opportunity to change NPC equipment, ur waifus are going to have floating hands. Recommendation: just use CBBE with a vanilla/like preset, nevernude, and something like the "Mature" skin texture or something like it. Body mods do not require pin-up aesthetics; unless you're looking for a male body replacer.

What is the general opinion on Fresh Faces mod? Seems to do the same as Bijin, but I think the hair is a bit better, which seems quite a doll like for some characters in Bijin. Which is quite out of place on the orcs.

My biggest problem with modding is that I am going way past what I would need to enjoy the game and modding feels like an endless project. 30 mods is probably enough to make it fun, not crash and fun to play while making it feel engaging and new. I got at least 300. However, once I have a new solid mod I cant get rid of it and be satisfied with my load order. Most mods you don't even know that you want before you see it.

I used to do that but then I went in the opposite direction so now my modlist is as minimal as possible. It's much better actually playing the game instead of the old find new mod -> start new character loop I was stuck in.

The Iron Rose posted:SKSE is in SSE now, I thought? SKSE is in alpha now and mods like SkyUI wont work or be ported yet. so for example no MCM functionality + loads of mods that are ported over have less features due to not having full SKSE support yet. NMM works fine, but you have to install mods in the correct order, whereas in MO you can sort the mod order (not to be confused with load order) to decide which mod wins the conflict etc. Which means if I gently caress something up in NMM I might have to install a lot of mods again, whereas in MO I can install and uninstall without having issues. EDIT: Brainfart moment, SkyUI SE is ported and while SKSE is in alpha I did not try to give the impression that it is hardly working, many people claim that they can use it for plenty of mods with no issues.

You obviously haven’t actually tried SKSE SE, then. Sky UI works perfectly as far as I can tell, and pretty much all the mods that required SKSE that got ported over have worked fine. The ones that haven’t have usually required outside DLL’s that need conversion to 64 bit for them to work properly. SKSE is ready to go, the only problem is that SSE is still updating occasionally, which requires a new update for SKSE to be compatible.

Oh, last I checked you had to use an earlier version of SkyUI for it to work, so sorry for getting that wrong. But yes, many people are having a good experience with SKSE in SSE as it is now. But you will probably have some issues and as you mentioned you will be set to a halt each time Skyrim SE is updated, better make sure you have settings so it does not do that automatically.

Randaconda posted:My comp probably couldn't run the special edition, but Oldrim is still fun. If you can run the classic edition, you can probably also run the special edition. The only differences in requirements are 8 gigabytes of RAM (instead of 4) and a Win64 system (but who still uses Win32 anyway). But I can confirm that 8 gigs of RAM are absolutely necessary, though. The game can start with less, but it'll be utterly unplayable as it'll be constantly swapping stuff between RAM and disk. We're talking stuff like a full minute between hitting Escape and finally getting the menu up so you can quit.
