That's the thing, Bethesda specifically dummied it out of the game. Arthmoor fished through the code and put it back in.

He is still the guy behind USEEP, which in and of itself is better than all the stuff put into CC as of now. Not to mention Cutting Room Floor + Open Cities.

This is Bethesda we're talking about. Everything is bugged. Even when someone appears to be competent and edits out dumb, unnecessary dialogue, it's still the result of a bug.

In this case the English version of the game simply didn't ship with the .wav for those voices. If you had subtitles enabled you'd see the game playing those lines, there was just no sound to go along with them. And other languages did ship with complete voice files.

Open Cities has always seemed like more trouble than it's worth to me. It'd be great if it was like this in the base game; but doing it as a patch is just begging for compatibility issues.

That's weird argument to me, because the same applies to anything else you might want to mod in the game? But honestly, not many mods mess with city cells direct and those do probably have compatibility patches available for Open Cities.

I thought that Arthmoor (or someone) had to record the line? Like if you have subtitles on in the vanilla game the text shows up. Lord knows the quality sounds like some neckbeard who can't act swallowing a 10 dollar computer mic

It's a mod that changes every major city so there's going to be a ton of reference changes in pretty much every single quest. It's a lot more intrusive than if you're just adding some dungeon to the middle of nowhere.

You can get issues with mod NPCs that are in the vanilla city (so a separate worldspace that you can't reach anymore) so you've got to bust out the console.

That's not really a thing. When a quest points at a NPC for example, it doesn't care where the NPC is located. And for transitions such as post civil-war damage, the game uses a parent-child system, where the child-references can be moved and messed with without issue.
It's an issue when a quest wants to point directly to location, but the alias system Skyrim introduced allows you to change a quests target on the fly.

Honestly, it comes down to what mods you're using. :shrug: If you want to use a mod that add a fuckton of NPCs that doesn't have a compatibility patch and you don't want to make one yourself, then Open Cities isn't worth using.
But I had no compatibility problems with it, so ymmv. It is a mod that forces you to pay a lot more attention to what's going on in your loadorder then most other mods, that's for certain.

If a mod won't work with open cities, I won't use it. Open Cities is a game-changer.

The only one that kinda doesn't that I've found so far is the Cats mod. It puts cats, rats, puppies, etc in the other worldspace.

I guess I'm pretty deep down the rabbit hole when these are the things I'd like to find mods for now:

- Followers harvest reagents in the area when they sandbox
- Followers' idle mining/woodchopping actions produce appropriate materials
- De-physics-er for putting movable items around in my house (The internet suggests this is framerate related, but I'm capped at 60 and still seeing stuff leap off tables when I come into my hearthfire house)

i decided to give iAFT a break and tried Nether's Follower Framework in my recent annual skyrim run and it's actually pretty solid, even better?

also plays nicely with RDO, and is currently being updated unlike AFT/iAFT/EFF

basically lets you have up to 10 companions at a time, but you can set up three "home bases" for all followers to go back to (and set where they sleep, rest, work)

The work part is when idle or at base companions will use crafting stations and actually make potions, gather materials, craft arrows, etc

Also depending on skills you can set companions to tank/dps/healer (healing actually works too, with you setting what percentage of health for themselves/you/allies they heal at if they have the magicka) and all this is done through MCM so you end up with way less companion interaction clutter

also has a built in summon mount keybind (follower mount support too) so you can drop convenient horses unless you really love all the other things it adds

can't help with third one

Yeah, I use the version of this converted to SSE - it has an incompatible SKSE plugin, but the basic functionality still works fine.

NFF is really complex and requires some time looking under the hood through the MCM to make it to your liking. But yeah in theory followers will craft their own ammo and potions, and improve their weapons and armor on their own if they're near the appropriate places to do so. They'll even start giving you gifts if they like you well enough and have been with you for a while.

I find I have to fight with it sometimes though to either get my followers to actually sandbox properly or to stop sandboxing (or just standing around like lumps) and follow me when its time to go somewhere else. AFT was much simpler but is basically abandonware now.


What I'd really like is a proper SSE port for a mod like Suit Up, or at least some feature that works with Wet and Cold that allows followers to equip a specific set of rain/snow/ash equipment every time when the weather changes instead of just pulling randomly from the leveled list. I've got a nice stable of followers with specific outfit looks and I always get nervous when it starts to rain or snow because WAC tends to whip out the oddest poo poo that just doesn't with anything anyone is wearing.

I know there's a follower outfit manager out there, but it's really pedantic to have to stop and order like five followers at the same time to put on their rain gear, especially because NFF slows the dialog menu down a lot AND adds a gently caress ton of options in that you have to scroll past.

I have to be honest, one of the few mods from Oldrim I miss is the version of EFF that had a companion wheel. There is an SE version of EFF, but the wheel didn't seem to make it over.

AFT isn't abandonware (IMHO) as much as it is simply done - it does what it is supposed to do, and there's no reason to monkey with it. AFT has worked for everything I want out of it, although I'll probably try NFF next playthrough.

EDIT: Although I have been idly trying to figure out where AFT's Outfit functionality is handled, because I'm trying to make it so it recognizes the Open Cities version of the Capitals.

I see your point. I used AFT for Oldrim and iAFT for SSE before swapping over to NFF. I'm liking NFF's features better, but AFT had much less stuff that you had to micromanage. Like I said though, I'd LOVE to have a mod that replicated AFT's Home/City/Adventure outfit automatic switching and customization but for weather events just to override Wet and Cold's RNG putting whatever it felt like on followers.

afaik NFF does not monkey around with outfits cause it kind of can gently caress up a lot of things (at least according to the author)

does it? you can disable the things that do show up in the MCM menu and even then i think its still not as much bloat as EFF/iAFT

I think it adds about the same number of dialog prompts as AFT does. But I'm also running My Home is Your Home and Simple Outfit Manager which add even more stuff. All I'm saying is that on my personal end I get like 10 different dialog options whenever I talk to a follower and some of them take their sweet time in loading, like NFF's Sell This For Me / Adventure Gear options.

So basically :shrug:

I just grabbed the SE version of AFT and am quickly scanning over the script source while I have my morning coffee. So apologies if this is incomplete info.
Looks like that's handled in the script tweakinventorycontrol. Check the IsInCity() function. It seems like the problem is the "if (onpc.GetWorldSpace() == Tamriel)" check. If you remove that, I'm pretty sure it'll work since it checks for the LocTypeCity keyword immediately after that.

Do go over the logic flow of those If statements in IsInCity(). I feel like it's checking more then is necessary, but I'm not familiar with AFT and it's possible there are a bunch of workarounds in there.

yeah i think my last playthrough of SE with NFF there was like one added dialogue (let me fiddle with your gear) and everything else disabled, i definitely didnt have a ton of clutter in dialogs or slow down or anything

you do spend a lot more time in MCM fiddling with individual companions, so that's a thing though and i get some people are MCM averse

My general opinion on Open Cites is that Oldrim was too unstable to roll it, but with SSE, it is such a nice feature that I am willing to hunt for patches and avoid certain mods for its features. The only part of it that pisses me off is that the DynDOLOD workarounds for Open Cities are a real pain and it's already pretty tedious to run DynDOLOD. I wish there was a open cities option I could tick in the DynDOLOD executable to avoid having to do all of that since it is usually the last step you take before going with it.

Oh yeah, I'd been meaning to look into that but for me it seems like the Interesting NPCs followers especially just kinda stand around the work/home/relax areas I've set up with NFF. My housecarls at least sit in chairs inside the house or poke at the fire.

EFF has the wheel is SE, just not on by default. Go to the mod menu and set it from "dialogue" to "classic".
