Got most of my mods setup and working, except one... on the topic of hair replacers, I was trying to get this thing working: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12004 With the Salt and Sand retexture so it looks less anime. Only problem is, even with the base KS mod installed and this installed after, and the mods shoved way at the bottom of the load order, none of the hair actually shows up on NPCs. It shows up in the character creation as a billion extra hairdos for my character, but not on a single NPC. Can't figure out why, and the mods own thread no one seems to be having that problem. The alternate KS Lite one also doesn't work. Am I just fucktarded and not getting something? I'm running WICO, but this is below it.

KS Hairdos adds new hairs, it doesn't replace them.

That mod doesn’t replace anything, if you actually bothered to read the description. It just removes certain goofy looking hairdos from the list of choices when you’re making a character. If you want to replace NPC hairs, go look up a god NPC overhaul. Hell, there’s already one linked on that page, in Distinct People.

The one you linked literally just does quote:A simple .esp replacer for KS Hairdos to remove hairs that clip with breasts or otherwise feel out of place. There are still a lot of choices The only solution I've seen is getting an NPC replacer like the Bijin ones, which will change the body and the hair. I don't think there's any mod that leaves the NPCs but just modifies hair. I haven't used WICO in ages but last I heard it also fucks with a lot of other stuff.

Has anyone actually tried this LC Citadel mod? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27059 It looks nice, but from the little I played? Woof! The description of the mod says there's an introductory quest though the catacombs. Nobody in the castle will react to you in any meaningful sense except the guard to the catacomb. They won't say anything, or verbally respond to your response of which the only option your given is something to the effect of "What's wrong with the catacomb?" at which point they'll silently hand you a letter, full of very wildly mischaracterized Balgruf telling you to please clear the catacombs and there are two other people to help, waiting in the guards barracks. You go to get them, they're running the housecarl ai package, including calling you thane, and offering you dialogue options about your responsibilities as such. Remember, this is the first time you've set foot here. So, fine! You step down into the catacombs. Down a short set of stairs is a long wide corridor full of 12 "feral falmer" packed against each other. Such is life, you slay them. (This may be extremely difficult if you intended to start this early, since each individually is fairly strong and you'll encounter them twelve at a time) While you're killing however, you might notice the quest tracker updating to say "1/48 falmer killed" Oh hell yeah I love it. So you "killall" in the console a couple of times, reach the end of the first area and pass through to the second only to kill more falmer... And see "1/48 falmer killed" So I killalled them, made it through, and thought "man, this mod is just bad."

Heads up for for anyone playing the mod VIGILANT (SE version) - if you go Imperial for the Civil War and complete that quest (or it could be conflicting with Skyrim Reputation idk) Jorleif obviously won't want to talk to you. Spamming the gently caress out of E eventually forces his dialogue box to appear and you can go on your merry way.

For special edition has anyone tried using True Hybrid - Tainted Blood with Sacrosanct & Moonlight Tales for a while and can speak to the game stability with all that going on? Seems like the perfect recipe for a giant mess, but it's fun being a humanoid vampire and also have a fun transformation form (werewolf).

In addition to what everyone else has said, the Thalmor are the real enemy and a united Empre, or as united as it can possibly be because lol Hammerfell, is needed to even have a hope of surviving the onslaught when the Aldmeri Dominion launches Great War II. Also Ulfric is a double-blind Thalmor asset. They loving hate him, but they’re rooting for him to cause as much damage to Skyrim and the Empire as he can, win or lose, because that’s a fuckton less Nords that they have to kill if they’re already dead thanks to Ulfric’s dipshittery. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Aug 24, 2019 |

The whole civil war quest in Skyrim is garbo and I'd like to slap both factions and the elves and call it a day. If you have to choose a side though, I think I'm going to hard-pass on the xenophobic kin-slaying rear end in a top hat faction. its like the stormcloaks were created to make the imperials look good by comparison and its that one comic but 'wow cool vikings' instead of a robot for a lot of people And that's being...somewhat charitable about what people are reading into the Stormcloaks. But yeah, at least the Imperials remaining in the region and allied is a slightly bigger middle finger to the elves, who are the biggest jerks of all.

When I’m out on the roads I let every Imperial and Stormcloak patrol go on their merry way, because you sort your own poo poo out, boys. But every Thalmor patrol I encounter, especially if they’re carting a prisoner somewhere, let’s just say they don’t make it to wherever they were going

Long run (medium run, even) the Thalmor are pretty irrelevant because their entire civilization is going to be swiftly converted into a giant smoking crater by the Last Dragonborn regardless of which side he chooses in the Skyrim Civil War. It's kinda the other stupid thing about the whole civil war questline, that both factions treat the LDB like an errand boy when in fact he is going to rule whatever he wants to until he dies of old age. The real pro move if the game allowed it would be to side with Ulfric, and the instant he's coronated High King say "hey Ulfric, I lay claim to the High Kingship and challenge you to personal combat for it, you would never disrespect the Ancient Nord Traditions right?  "e: the other thing that is stupidly never even a tiny bit addressed by the script is that the Emperor is an old guy with no obvious heir and the LDB has an extremely legitimate claim to the Imperial throne.

Being Dragonborn doesn't actually make you a candidate for Emperor, it's the sort of thing that people who happen to also have a huge army and de facto control over multiple provinces use as a justification for rule.

I really do wish someone had modded in a third "Helios" style option for the Civil War plot... ideally with you basically kicking Ulfric's poo poo in in a duel, then taking over as Emperor and declaring Skyrim ostensibly free as long as they ally with the Empire against the Thalmor.

Ulfric himself doesn't win, because lol gently caress his racist rear end, but his ideas do, so Skyrim becomes Hammerfell 2, functionally independent but still in an alliance with Cyrodiil vs. Aldmeris. Everyone wins!  Except Ulfric and the Thalmor, but they all suck

Especially since outside the main plot they do gently caress all with the Thalmor except for the Mages guild questlime. And there you're thwarting literally one dude and get an order of walking Deus Ex Machinas to hold your hand through it.

I've been playing a Redguard lately too and I like to imagine after I walk into Castle Dour to go tell Tullius some quest-related thing without joining the Legion and he's like "is there a jail cell I can help you find", my Dragonborn replies with the 2nd verse of 99 Problems only with the Second Treaty of Stros M'Kai in the place of the Constitution.

Fuzz posted:Yeah but why would you ever play an Imperial you loving monster. Why do you hate Balgruuf you loving monster  There's also the inherent stupidity of the Stormcloaks glorifying 'true nords' while at the same time revealing that the 'true nords' are just too good for something as lowly as bringing in imports from their major sea port so they make the argonians do it but also don't want to pay them a decent wage for their vital work and resent that they're even there... doing the hard work the 'true nords' are too whiny and pathetic to do... It's like the idiots in Rapture who forgot that in an underwater city of only the best and brightest, somebody's still got to clean the bathrooms.

You know Hold Guards, Stormcloak Guards and Imperial Guards all share the same dialogue. The only difference is that there are a few specific extra lines. Imperial Guards are programmed to call players of every race citizen. Stormcloaks Guards are programmed to bust out specific racial slurs. 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Aug 25, 2019 |

I feel like the opening cutscene, aside from being a way for the game to continue the trend of "every mainline ES game has you start as a prisoner", is also a way to justify why anyone would ever play a Stormcloak. They try to make the imperials look as bad as they can out of the gate because the Stormcloaks spend the rest of the game being a bunch of hypocritical racist dumbasses and making themselves look as bad as possible. Especially at Windhelm, the seat of their power. The Empire ain't all roses and song either, but Ulfric looks kind of prophetic when you consider this game is from 2011.

If they wanted me to consider going Stormcloak, they should have installed a couple Stormcloak jarls I would feel really bad about throwing out on their rear end. Instead there are only two cool and good jarls (Idgrod and Balgruuf) and they're both Imperial aligned, and the Stormcloaks get superstars like Skald and Laila. I hate being forced to put loving Maven on the throne when I should be crucifying her outside the city gate, but if I go Stormcloak I'm forced to do the same goddamn thing with the Silver-bloods. Also I think Elisif is supposed to be portrayed as a hopeless total incompetent (we want to make her High Queen of Skyrim? Really??) but if that's what they were going for they should have made her more of an arrogant and stupid incompetent like Laila. Instead she's portrayed as a like 19 year old girl thrust simultaneously into widowhood and jarlship who's trying too hard because she's painfully aware she's faking it and has no idea what she's doing, so I just feel bad for her, and I feel like Skyrim's in pretty good hands with Falk and Tullius being its de facto civilian/military rulers. Much better than it would be with Ulfric anyway. I actually think Elisif's characterization is well done by Skyrim standards. But it only makes the player even more inclined to go Imperial.
