I was looking for a small home mod for Oldrim that doesn't require DLC but it seems like it's mostly large residences that probably drop your frame rate into the basement.

For the latter, I'm a big fan of Riverwood Keep. If you use it in conjunction with a mod that lets you put followers wherever, you can have them populate the inn and streets of Riverwood while they sleep in the attached tower. I kinda was looking for one that would eventually have everything but has an involved deal for building/upgrading so I have a long term project/money sink/resource drain while I dungeon dive.

This one's not very long term and can be hammered out quick, but I like it. The Hideaway - A Buildable Cave Home https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10649 There are a couple small bugs, but it's overall pretty good. I started with this buildable city, Blackthorn, but can't vouch for its long term quality. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2242

It’s kind of on-rails in terms of building stuff but Helgen Reborn has a charming little questline to it that makes it feel like you’re helping to rebuild an entire town with a crew of folks. Plus when you’re finished, the whole thing is basically yours to own.

Not to double post intentionally or anything, but just out of random curiosity; is there a mod manager platform out there that isn't utter dogshit? Because so far Nexus Mod Manager, Mod Organizer, and Mod Organizer 2 have all blown up on me and Vortex is just one giant piece of adware for Nexus itself. NMM was working the best for me out of all of them until I decided to migate all my mods to a new hard drive and now it throws a shitfit when I try to do anything with it and can't remember what organizer categories each archive should automatically be sorted into.

Yeah, MO2's been working great for me. I don't know much about Vortex and its alleged adware, but I'd never go back to NMM now.

What's MO2's problem? I've been using it since SSE came out, and MO before that, and they've been rock solid for Skyrim/SSE.

I've been using Vortex the last week or so loaded up with a gang of mods and I haven't had any issues beyond the usual fumbling to make sure things are in the proper order. It feels like a step up from the old NMM.

If by advertising you mean a homepage with an article newsfeed that doesn't open by default on launch and you literally never have to look at then sure, ok.

I usually put my helmet on hotkey 8 so in cutscenes I can pop it off and look cool in 3rd person. Shield, too, but that one has more practical reasons too.

I've got to be honest, if all the popular and well-recommended mod managers are individually blowing up in your face, the problem likely isn't on their end

nine-gear crow, do you have your Bethesda games installed in a program files folder? It's known to cause serious issues when modding them, could be the source of your problems

Because I think that's what Steam defaults to.

Of all the ones I've used over the years, Vortex has been the easiest MO2 does SkyrimVR, pretty sure it'll do FO4VR, too I haven't used Vortex in alpha, but I liked it a lot. But MO2 is kinda winning me over because it seems to be both small and useful (for instance with the built-in ini editor). In the end, for normal use, any of these organizers should do.

FWIW I have only ever kept Skyrim in the default steam folder and steam installed in the default program files folder, and I've never encountered an issue because of it.

timn posted:FWIW I have only ever kept Skyrim in the default steam folder and steam installed in the default program files folder, and I've never encountered an issue because of it.  Every time the "Don't install steam, Skyrim, or your modding tools to Program Files" is mentioned, some motherfucker has to be like that dog, every loving time it's mentioned, somebody has to come in and be like "Not me I don't do it that way and I'm fine!  "Good for fuckin' you but you're missing the fuckin' point. The point is not that it will make trouble, the point is that is sometimes does and when it does it's really loving hard to diagnose because it's not always the same problems, and therefore it's a real good idea to follow the general rule to avoid the subtle and myriad ways it could gently caress up your install. Why, why, why does somebody always have to barge into the thread to breathlessly state they don't have any problems running that way?

So apparently the Nexus is looking at mod packs. They send out a survey to modders asking for feedback. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaNnHaZ0QJCKiUPvVLvw4RgmyecmGmOwOOylTubazsiMbT2w/formResponse quote:Thank you for partaking in this survey. As it is designed to be very open, it might take you between 20-30 minutes to respond to the questions - depending on the level of detail you would like to provide. Please note the information below before you proceed. Oh, wait. It's not a modpack. It's just an automated downloader. The idea looks pretty much the same as that moddrop or modpicker thing that modders lost their goddamned minds over a few years ago. I'm not sure what to make of it, but it seems like a step in a good direction?  Looking at the reactions when this was first announced earlier this years, the usual suspects were crying about how "modpack" is a dirty word and "oh no, what about my download numbers!". There were also quite a few voices in support of it though. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Aug 17, 2019 |

I don't quite get the problem with download numbers in a mod pack. Just add the download of the pack (which contains your mod) to your number, no? If anything, being in a pack should inflate your exposure then.

I would presume it's the same thing that compels people to collect karma from Reddit. Each upvote and each download is like an individual validation and every day that number goes up is further validation. If that number were to stop going up, especially unexpectedly, bad things gonna happen.
