fuf posted:One of the most immersion-breaking things for me is how you can sleep overnight in an inn then wake up and all the NPCs are in the same place. Is there a mod that moves NPCs to where they should be before you wake up? In theory it might be possible to create a sort of wrapper functionality where you select that you want to sleep for X hours and then have a script loop over all the present NPCs, check where they ought to be in X hours and move them there before you actually start waiting. But as far as I know, the functions for that don't exist. So you'd have to create your own SKSE plugin for that. Short answer: No, it doesn't exist.

Has that new mod site put up any mods that just frankenstein's monstered some popular mods instead of there being a half dozen compatibility mods yet? If not, it might be worth the effort to attempt to do so if they won't be taken down by some pissy mod authors.

So I know SPERG is the recommended gameplay overhaul, but does anyone else have suggestions of stuff to pair with it? I'm not looking for anything crazy, just an enhancement of the base game of Skyrim. Also are there any mods that add more enemies to the game that are generally considered good? I always like putting in more stuff to kill but the quality and balacne with these mods can be all over the place. Back when I first played Skyrim I got a mod that added more types of dragons, which was cool up until I ran into one that projected a massive aura of frost that killed my character while the dragon was flying 100 ft in the air. That essentially soft locked my character since the frost aura somehow magically followed me indoors too. EDIT: Also this is probably a  but is Bethesda's Creation Club even worth looking at? I have no problem paying for mods if they actually install effortlessly and run properly. I have serious doubts that this is actually the case though because, well, look at the base game.

The way they work by directly giving you stuff or a quest is also mildly annoying for your IMMERSHUN purposes, too.

Why should I be using the Mod Organizer over NMM? I can't figure out how to get it to work. I installed it and am doing the tutorial to try to figure it out. It wants me to install a mod now, but hasn't actually told me how to loving do that. It says it can associate itself with NMM links but it doesn't. The button appears to do nothing and despite confirming the message to use nmm files multiple times the downloads are still trying to use NMM instead. Trying to manually install a mod lead to a different error message, probably because I did it wrong but how am I supposed to know how to do it if it doesn't tell me? EDIT: Nevermind, figured out the issue. Apparently the tutorial being active was messing things up which is probably the least helpful thing it can do for a new, confused user.

Internet Kraken posted:Why should I be using the Mod Organizer over NMM? I'm one of the biggest MO fanboys there is, but I'll admit that NMM these days appears to be stable and not getting updates that cause it to poo poo all over itself (or start DDoSing the Nexus' servers and the day I will stop bringing that up will be the day that stops being funny). So really, MO is best suited for power users and mod creators who want to for example direct control over how mods overwrite eachother or be able to quickly & easily switch to different mod setup or even a completely vanilla install. If you're new to MO, these are probably the most important things to remember: - A common error you may come across is "No game data on top level". This means that file path of the mod is wrong. The basic file path MO wants is <MO mod directory>/<individual mod folder>/<Mod content (plugin, meshes folder, etc)>. For example: "\Mod Organizer 2\mods\Unique Vampire Dens SSE\", and not: "\Mod Organizer 2\mods\Unique Vampire Dens SSE\Data". This probably wont be an issue with most mods from post 2012, but even with new mods you can come across someone who packaged their mod in the old FOMM style where there's an extra folder. - When using MO everything needs to be run through MO. Not just the game, and SKSE. But also tools like xEdit or FNIS if you want to use those tools with the mods you have installed. - If any application that is run through MO creates a new file, MO will dump said file in its overwrite folder. If a SKSE plugin wants to create a .ini file when it runs for the first time? In the overwrite folder. Create a new plugin with xEdit or generate animation behaviour files with FNIS? In the overwrite folder it goes. You can leave stuff in the overwrite folder and while MO will throw a warning it'll all be fine in most circumstances. But it's possible to move the "festering pile of mods"-thing that MO was designed to solve from the Data folder to there. Personally I'd say it's good practice to keep the overwrite folder clean and move it's contents to their appropriate mod folder (or create new ones where necessary). If only to save yourself the headache trying the find the .ini file that that skse plugin generated when you want to edit it at some point in the future.

Alright, after spending more time combing through the OP and the nexus site I've got my list ready for my first playthrough in years. Just posting in case anyone has anything they want to say about mods they think are problematic or ones that might go well with them. Regardless, thanks for all the help from the OP and the thread. Hopefully I'll actually be able to play the game without it exploding.

You probably should go with the unofficial patch, its pretty good overall. You can also look at Trainwiz's stuff if you want some cool quest mods. Most of the rest of the mods I use are really up to taste, but those are a pretty solid foundation

Legs Benedict posted:hahahah what Here some more NMM trivia: That was actually the second time they introduced that DDoS bug in NMM. And the next big NMM release after (the one that was supposed to give NMM the same features as MO but instead ended up being that silly symlink nonsense) had a bug where if you tried to upgrade from a previous version of NMM it could delete your game install folder and all the mod's you had download. Basically when people give NMM poo poo in this thread, it's well deserved. Even if the current version works alright. Dongicus posted:i knew it had skse for a while dude. i meant like actual SKSE that supports skyUI 5.0/McM. y'know the thing that all the good mods from oldrim depended on. But since I'm in a good mood: SKSE64 (or SKSE SE) exists and you can find it on the SKSE website. Save for (I think) some Racemenu functions, it has all the functionality of SKSE. The full SkyUI has been ported over to SkyrimSE and you can find it on the SE Neuxs. Both are still in Alpha currently. The current versions seem to work okay and you can use them, but no one will guarantee it'll work bugfree at this moment.

Apparently they do run well, but that's not hard since it's mostly Horse Armor 2.0 with fetch quests rather then properly meaty mods. I'll happily pay either for DLC-sized mods or professionally put-together mod packs, since I'm not just paying for content but also convenience, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I pay for a reskin.

What are the best mods to install that will spruce up, for lack of a better word, the core gameplay mechanics? I know morrowloot is a big one, which I’m going to try, but are there any other recommendations? I’m mostly looking for a reason to actually run/rerun dungeons and explore and get in combat rather than avoid it(this is an exaggeration but you guys know what I mean) Also all the no/low performance effecting graphic mods you can throw at me.

If you're running SE, pretty much any 2k texture mod will look better than what the game has by default. All Bethesda did was resize and add noise filter. Imaginator lets you fool around with different graphic settings (Theres both a oldrim and SE version.) All of it is with in-engine effects with no performance hitch. Thunderchild makes a shout-centric character possible. Do the voice quests ASAP, and work on learning more shouts. It really does own. Apocalypse + Spectraverse + Dwemertech are pretty awesome new spellpacks.

Which one? I have a personally-converted version of CLoaks of Skyrim in my personal use folder, I believe there's now an official version (but I like mine more, because mine doesn't make Khajiit and Argonain tails disappear), I think Winter is Coming has been converted (but I never really liked it, so I don't care.) None of the Physics-Enabled mods have been converted, including the physics-enabled capes.

I've been wanting to do another unarmed playthroug, this time with mods because I've basically 100%ed the game as an unarmed Khajit and kind of want to do something different and spice up unarmed combat. What are some mods that change/make unarmed combat more fun or viable? I know Ordinator changes the light armour tree to have hit-and-run unarmed combat be a thing, but are there any other mods that change unarmed combat without majorly changing the feel of the game?

Nothing shows up on scans and the archives contain just the mod files. But that doesn't mean all that much since the Nexus has multiple servers and perhaps only one or two got comprised.Rynyin is not alone in this at least. A quick search of the Nexus' forum shows a bunch of posts from today saying people's antivirus popped up about a trojan being present in the download. Not sure what's going on. But the Nexus did have some issues where downloads got corrupted the last few days. For now, I'd say don't blindly assume it's a false positive and check what you downloaded to see if it contains anything out of the ordinary.

I always kinda wondered what was up with this line in the general "before you mod" section of the OP:quote:Remember, modding is basically forcing the game to do things it was never intended to do, and some modding tools use similar methods to computer viruses to do what they need to do. I assumed this was a precaution that mods sometimes read as viruses even though they aren't but I'd never encountered it myself.
