Another blue ribbon for Hecarim.
Speaking of moon path, is it worth grabbing? It seems pretty cool but I've heard a lot of complaints that it corrupts save files or something. Sounds spooky.

From everything I have heard, Moonpath is one of those neat historical curiosities in that it was very impressive for its time but hasn't aged well.

Combine that with a mod that adds more difficult/high level enemies.

Would this one be okay for that? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3231/
Or OBIS? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4145

I also removed Immersive Citizens at the suggestion of this thread. On the surface it seemed like it could be so incompatible with so many mods.

Oh, really? I know the guide said Legacy was feature creeped to hell and back and way messier than it needs to be. Did it get fixed, or is SE just better at handling its bulk?

Yeah back in the oldrim days it slowed things down to where it was neat, but really not something you'd have on to play with. In SSE it's silky smooth and full of neat poo poo to collect, and then allow to collect dust. But in a cool way... on a wall.

Holy poo poo. I was just thinking at some point I should dust off a modding guide for Oblivion. I only ever played it on the 360 and I got like ten hours in and dropped it like a rock because I leveled up some non-combat skills and started getting destroyed by random enemies every time I veered off a road.

That sounds kickass! Thank you for the reccommendation.

Speaking of scholarly pursuits for the Dragonborn, which alternate spell creation mod is better? Spell Crafting, or Spell Research? I can't tell if they're compatible or not, but both seem rad.

Are there any mods that let you dismiss a housecarl? I was gifted one, but I really prefer to not have some lady in clunky armor wandering around my house. Murdering them seems like going too far - I just want them to go back to whatever they were doing before I was made a Thane.

Tools:
MO2
SSEEdit for merged patches
Wyre Bash for bashed patches
LOOT
SSELODGen (is this necessary?)

Mods:
Skyrim 2017 Textures by Pfuscher
A Quality World Map
Achievements Mod Enabler
Book Covers SSE
Cutting Room Floor
Detailed Rugs
Enhanced Blood
Footprints
Immersive Armor
Immersive Weapons
No NPC Greetings, limited distance
Real Roads for Skyrim
Realistic Water Two
Relationship Dialog Overhaul
Ruins Clutter Improved
Rustic Clothing
Skse64
SkyUI5
Skyrim Flora Overhaul
Static Mesh Improvements
Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch

I got rid of Immersive Citizens since its supposed to be incompatible with way too many mods. I tried looking for some mod that adds higher level enemies but the only one I found was this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3231 which, judging from the comments, seems like it isn't really balanced and you'll find yourself getting one shotted out of no where.

Oblivion XP is a good mod if you want to avoid that, as it lets you choose what abilities you want to upgrade whenever you level.

No ziggurats unfortunately, though this replaces the forests with jungle. Looks ugly imo.

My Home Is Your Home.

It lets you assign anywhere in Skyrim as your follower’s “home” so that when you dismiss them, they return to that spot instead of their original or current home point. So just take your housecarl for a little joy ride and say take them to their jarl’s home or just in the middle of the woods and through a few simple dialog clicks you can deposit them wherever and they’ll stay there. Then when you go back to your house, it’ll be nice and empty again.

I've never played enough Skyrim to end up with a home + multiple followers but uh, what happens then? Do you just accumulate a collection of followers who hang out together in your house? I got and dismissed Faendral before I had a home and he just went right back to his woodpile.

I don’t really know, to be honest. I think housecarls go back to homes in their hold of origin—Lydia goes back to Breezehome in Whiterun, for example, if you dismiss her. But I’ve played the game with mods for so long that I don’t really even know how vanilla Skyrim treats followers.

This is why I liked using MHIYH and Helgen Reborn in tandem, because at the end of the quest line you functionally have an entire town that’s yours that you can plot your followers into with MHIYH to mill about it when they’re not out there with you.

DuchessOfKvetch

MHIYH and some of the other follower tweak mods don't work well with custom followers, from what I've gathered.

Speaking of custom followers (Inigo, Lucien, etc) that have their own AI for where they live/horse riding/clothing etc. The author use their own scripts, and there's no an easy way to make them compatible with the generic follower logic overhauls. IMHO the custom followers are a heck of a lot more fun too.

If you want that harem of big titty anime girls or a bunch of orphaned kids (the loli-looking child mods are SUPER CREEPY in this regard), you have the opposite scenario though, you prob want to avoid custom followers and stick to Immersive Awesome Follower Tweaks and MHIYM.

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I have been doing the Helgen Reborn quest for the first time so I might even use that as a "companion hub" like you suggested, once I actually get anything done in it.

Uh, I think I may have been doing something wrong this whole time and wanted to double check:

I was going over the tuco guide again just to refresh myself on some of the beginner things, and I read the wryebash stuff a little more closely, and it says after you rebuild the bashed patch, you DO NOT need to reenable all your plugins, because the disabled ones are in the bashed patch. I've been enabling all plugins every single time after I rebuild the patch, is that potentially going to cause problems or is it just like, hey, you don't have to do this but doing it isn't hurting anything either?
