Only use a third party AV if you're Enterprise and you absolutely must do do for compliance or regulatory purposes. For everyone else, they introduce more problems than they solve. Do get Malwarebytes and run that once a month or so though.

So a little warning to those using Sacrosanct... the Vampire Lord perk that allows you to instantly kill with hemomancy can work on essential characters. I didn't realize I accidentally blew up Serana and Brhuce Hammar until several hours of gameplay later.

Longstride is essential if you want to run around without a horse. Combine with Mystic Wind for infinite mana.

A few more gems I found during my trawl of the most-endorsed mods: Tail Armors: Argonians and Khajiit! Protect your tails! Cats in Skyrim: Adoptable housecats. Farengar, of course, has a cat. MoreHUD: Puts information about what you're looking at up on the screen, such as alchemy ingredient effects, and such. More Informative Console: Gives you windows with more information about your targets in the console. This last one is an Oldrim mod, but it works perfectly in in SE, and I love the animated Enchanting Table and Alchemy stations it adds: Revamped Assets Skyrim. I actually was searching through my download history for a while (78 pages!) because I couldn't remember what this mod was called and I wanted those back.

Speaking of Skyrim mods, what's Wildcat like? I've got most of the mods of that modding dude, but am wary of actually using a combat mod since I don't want combat to become a slog.

It actually makes combat much faster. I think I use Smilodon, which is his more lightweight version that is more seamless into the vanilla combat. I haven't played vanilla combat in a while but I like what it does. Combine it with Realistic Ragdolls and Force highest settings and it makes smacking hordes of skeletons pretty fun.

Noted, I'll check that out. I've been avoid physics mods for the longest time because the last one I tried had some weird bugs that broke the game. Not even sure that was Skyrim though, might've been Oblivion.

The only thing any physics mod will break is the opening cutscene, which you should be skipping with mods. Trust me, blasting necromancers into the horizon with Ice Spike never gets old.

Trust me, blasting necromancers into the horizon with Ice Spike never gets old. Thinking about it, I think that's what it was actually. The intro was breaking and I had to uninstall. And then I hate installing mods on a game-in-progress because of how delicate Skyrim's scripting is. Is Wildcat or Smilodon safe to drop into an on-going game?

Are there any mods that do things like increase run/walk speed or jump height with either perks or raising Stamina? One side effect of removing attributes is that I can't see my character being able to do things like jump higher or run faster and that was part of the fun of character growth. At least more Stamina gives you more carry weight.

Not that I know of. Summermist adds enchantments for faster movement speed. Ordinator might have a perk somewhere. I know sacrosancts vampire lord tree can increase mortal form speed by 10%.

Yes it was. I personally don't use it because I remember it being too much like vanilla. IDK if that's actually the case or it's a false memory thing.

It was my favorite game play overhaul of all the available ones back in the day, but I can’t even remember what all it did. But yea, it was basically Vanilla+ and it rocked.

SPERG works though some of the perks are still a but buggy (I know for Animal Friend for instance the Baby Mammoth doesn't work and all the DLC ones aren't implemented)

Most of my issues with the intro have happened because the games fps wasn't capped at 60, so you could try that too, but I'm not sure if that was just vanilla Skyrim or SE. That also fixed the water level issues where you'd walk around and clip under invisible water

My pitch for ordinator is that you can make a real class out of anything. Each skill tree let's you have combat capabilities. Even smithing has a dwarven auto cannon that improves as your smithing does. Illusion buffs your illusion spells and let's you sneak on enemies to create illusion clones of them to fight. Even restoration has some Paladin stuff. And if you want to play a TES god all in one character, you can do that too. And despite documentation, I recommend taking 50% more perks because it really has a lot of perks. Tangent: Gold is XP is a pretty fun mod. Gives you as you gain gold, which levels you up and allows you to level up your skills like the Fallout games when you sleep. Drawbacks are you can't grind skills to train them, NPC paid training is disabled (since gold already gives XP) and skyshards doesn't work with it.

Is there a mod that removes the 5 training per level limit? I'm making a mod pack and really need that for it to be balanced.

Also, double-posting because I just published a new mod: Better Transmutation, for both Oldrim and Special Edition. I don't know about you, but I always was annoyed how I had to open the inventory and drop each silver ore when I wanted to make silver ingots. This mod switches the behavior of the Transmute Metal Ore spell so that it will keep converting Iron Ore to Silver Ore until you run out of Iron Ore, and only then begin converting Silver Ore into Gold Ore. In addition, I also changed one of the two copies of Transmute Metal Ore into a greater version - Transmute Metal Ingots! It works the same as Transmute Metal Ore, but on Iron/Silver Ingots! Transmute Metal Ingots is available in... ...Ansilvund

At least more Stamina gives you more carry weight. There's a couple of mod about athletics training, this one with a perk tree and this one with a MCM menu. I've only used the second one, but the first one seems alright too.

Speaking of the opening, why not try out The Dragonborn Dies, wherein you get immediately executed upon arrival in Helgen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP_z860q80c

that reminds me of an Oblivion mod I started making which added a 1 in 10 chance that the Emperor would look at you and go "your eyes! They're... no, never mind, never seen them before. Then the stars were wrong, and this is not the day. Guards, kill the prisoner." I think my plan was to have it as part of another unrelated mod and not tell anyone. It fell through because Oblivion sucked and I realised I didn't want to make mods for it lol

Someone makes a mod where the Empire isn't stupid and they just execute Ulfric immediately instead of wasting their time starting with some random Stormcloak soldier, a horse thief, some random hobo they picked up on the way, and who knows who else they were planning after. This would disable the whole civil war sideplot obviously.

So I've been enjoying my latest playthrough with a pretty decent modlist, and happily there's a guide to using Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade with SE since it hasn't been officially ported yet. You have to use the asset converter and save the esp in the CK yourself though, because it would be mod piracy and completely immoral for one person to convert it and then post it somewhere for download. Once you totally convert it yourself and not download a pre-converted file, you'll need to install the SE patch from that nexus page. Also, if you're using CCOR with Skyrim Immersive Creatures, CCOR needs to be below SIC in both your load and install order, and you'll have to turn off Ore Guardians in SIC. There is a patch for the Oldrim version, but I'd have to basically remake it because the Oldrim patch is looking for the separate ESPs SIC had for the DLCs on the Oldrim version, and gently caress that amount of work for a feature of SIC I don't like anyway.  Anyhow, with Convenient Horses I'm actually enjoying not fast travelling and riding around Falkreath with Lydia and Uthgerd. Also, CACO is officially ported. I'm also running all of Arthmoor's little lore village expansions, and hilariously another mod (I think it's Populated Civil War) is constantly spawning a civil war battle in the streets of Granite Hill. Also the Quick Loot mod is fuckin' legit. Agents are GO! fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Jun 11, 2019 |

Sooo... apparently, in my GMST Tweak mod I posted earlier I misplaced a decimal point in the barter GMSTs and caused prices to be ridiculously low rather than higher than vanilla. It's fixed now, just replace it if you downloaded it before.
