Legacy of the Dragonborn, for me, only really became something realistic to enjoy with the special edition. Woof was that a pain on legacy. Enjoy adding like 15-20 seconds to EVERY SINGLE LOAD SCREEN. Now that technology has caught up with the vision though it owns real good and grabs onto the collectaton brain impulses with both hands.

What you can do is set it to install updates on game launch and then never launch the game directly, which I assume is what everyone here already does anyway (we all launch via SKSE).

It sometimes misses an item or two, and it takes goddamn forever to run if you're a packrat like I am, but it means you don't need to run around trying to find a needle in a haystack. There's also a chest you can open to take stuff back so you don't have to track it down for that either.

I had the issue that I updated SKSE to the 1.5.80 version, and some of my SKSE plugins were compiled for 1.5.73 and complained at me and then I rolled back, and started having SKSE crash every time it started running via Mod Organizer. Like Mod Organizer would run SKSE, not actually start Skyrim, then go back to Mod Organizer as if someone closed Skyrim. Then I did a "verify the integrity of these files" in steam, rolled back again, and then I can't load a game or start a new one. Whatever, I need to play Assassin's Creed: Odyssey anyway.

What's the technical reason SKSE breaks and needs an update every time the game gets patch, does it just look for a particular version number and not start if that doesn't match? With how quick they release updates after patches drop there can't be much work involved.

With how quick they release updates after patches drop there can't be much work involved. SKSE works by injecting its code at specific memory addresses, think of it like text amendments such as "insert the following sentence after the second sentence in the third paragraph on page 148". When the original program is updated, the memory addresses are changed, so they need to find where they are now and update SKSE accordingly.

So basically there isn't a huge amount of actual coding involved, it's more the programming equivalent of a "find-replace" (and in fact find-replace might actually be used; there's probably a lot of memory addresses to amend) and most of the time is probably taken up finding the specific memory addresses that changed rather than modifying SKSE for the new Skyrim version.

The last ETA given by the mod author was Thanksgiving week, but the release date has been pushed back several times, and the author just recently posted that they ran into some unforseen complications, so it could be a bit of wait. It looks like they're close to getting to a release though.

Also, if it's exactly the same as Lexy's guide, some of the companion mods included in don't seem to be very good. Just stick to the INPCs and Indigo. Now, admittedly I'm not super well versed with INPCs and Indigo but everything I've seen regarding them seems to suggest that they both at least feel constant with Skyrim's lore and themes. Sofia tries too hard to be funny judging from what gameplay that I've seen of it. And Toccata looks very Waifu Batey. Is it possible to install only certain mods from a Wabbajack list? The mod guide does look very well done outside of including a few not so great mods (Falskaar = not great), but I don't wanna install over 70+ GBs of files just so that Skyrim can be fun/-er, my computers running out of space right now, and I don't wanna uninstall a poo poo ton of crap on my pc right now at the moment, just for one game I'm not really super into outside of mods.

I don't know what scenario is more amusing, that they're still STILL finding bugs in their game almost a decade later, or that they're just releasing patches in an effort to eventually burn out the modders' motivation to keep updating because they added an extra space to some global script somewhere. Given Bethesda's current flaming need to become the Kai Leng of the gaming industry I'm leaning toward the latter.

Barnum Brown Shoes posted:Ive only used it for fo4 so far but its fairly easy to just disable poo poo you dont want after the install. To repeat myself, one of the problems for me is that it'll still take up space on my computer while installing, and right now my computer is low on space, and even if I did clear it up it will still end up being for a bunch of stuff I don't want and would end up needing to waste time uninstalling afterward, anyways. It seems that most of the GB space is due to the big graphics mods, I don't mind better graphics at all, but my PC is Medium rate and still sometimes lags in an Oblivion that only has a few minor graphics mods for it. I like Wabbajack's idea, but the lack of customization is an issue for me, and I would rather wait for it to add customization options, or just do a list that is far less big in size and contains less "crappy" mods. But, I'll look into it anyway to see if there are mod lists that aren't as HUGE as the LOTD that are worthy for when I get around to playing Skyrim again. EDIT: Requires a Nexus Premium account?

I know this is just me being weird, and I'm super glad stuff like Wabbajack is beginning to really take form for people who don't share my particular variety of brainworms, but...(whispers) I like installing modlists manually. (Using a mod manager, obviously. I'm not a barbarian.) I think it's part that I like to have some idea of what's going on in a heavily modded game and I feel adrift if I'm just dealing with an inscrutable black box. And part of it is that I have pretty much just accepted that Skyrim is the gaming equivalent of that old car that car enthusiasts have in the garage that they just tinker with for years on end and maybe occasionally actually drive. No one should emulate my example. No one.

I've been using Verdant for better grass in Skyrim Legendary Edition, but there's some bad clipping in the Hearthfire player house. I know there's a mod that tidies it up for the special edition - anyone know of a good equivalent for the non-SE?

Does anyone know of any good low-level quest mods? I'm asking because I feel that most of the vanilla quests are really lovely and I feel I will probably be mostly focusing on mods whenever I get done with my Oblivion and Morrowind runs and go to Skyrim. I know Beyond Skyrim Bruma is apparently good and attempts to be NOT overly generic in terms of questing.

I picked the worst time to reinstall - I think the update screwed me. I'm sorry for this post. Here's my mod list, through Vortex. I SSEEdit-cleaned all the masters, manually cleaned Dawnguard, with LOOT and Vortex showing everything being good and generally, everything was running great and looking beautiful. Leveled a no-weapons-mage on Expert (which was super rough early on!) to 19 over the past few weeks. Booted it up this past weekend, saw Steam updated it (gently caress) and with no changes other than updating SKSE64, I'm now experiencing crashes inside ruins when swapping between Spell/Sanguine Rose and Spell/Torch. All weekend I hosed around with this crash and now I'm grasping at straws. SSEEdit shows no errors on any mods. Papyrus logs end a solid minute before any crashes. I enabled SKSE dumps and installed a dump reader which doesn't give me much to go on because I don't have much experience tracking this stuff down. Dumpy-dump here. I thought it was "Lights On" (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18277) or "Torches Cast Shadows" (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1369) since it kinda fits with what's going on when I crash, but disabling doesn't prevent the crashing. Some posts online for "crash when switching weapons" are blaming SkyUI SE being in beta, but posts seem to indicate the crash is when using a bow and having arrows automatically equip/unequip. I'm using "FEC - Frozen Electrocuted Combustion" (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3532) which requires "Papyrus Extender SSE" 2.0 (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22854). At this point, I'm assuming that PESSE2 requires an update, as I played for a few dozen hours before the latest Skyrim update and didn't have any issues. The only other alternative to waiting for this update and seeing if it helps is to selectively start disabling mods one by one and wait for the crash. Which I guess is what I'll be exploring next. For what it's worth, I'm having a great time revisiting Skyrim - bugs, crashes and all. Again, I'm sorry for this post. Uhh, I'll have a large #3 meal, extra ketchup, and a diet coke. Thanks.

If you have any SKSE plugins, look there first. They usually need updates with new SKSE versions. Papyrus Extender SSE is definitely going to need an update (and if it's the one I'm looking at, there isn't one available yet). You may have better luck rolling Skyrim (and SKSE) back to the previous version. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19658 is the guide I used to do it. You'll have to re-clean your masters if you do this. Once you get it stable again, be sure to set it in Steam so that it only updates on launch (so never unless you force an update, because launching using SKSE doesn't trigger it).

Even if you only install the unofficial patches and a texture mod, it's easier to start with Mod Organizer, because it's impossible to stop modding Skyrim once you start.

The only reason to get on Bethesda.net is if you need their proprietary SE Creation Kit for your own personal modding work.

Thank you everyone. Okay so I will go through the conventional modding experience of get a mod organizer and load order optimizing them. I liked the steam mod manager. I’m bad at mod management so it was way faster even if a lot of the content didn’t make it.
