While I know Caranthir Tower exists and is very, very well done, it just doesn't quite jive with me. I can't quite seem to find anything else that gives off the same master wizard vibe tho.

With the creation kit, I vaguely recall having to unpack mods that come in a .bsa format to work with them. How does that work again?Commander Keene posted:There's a difference between joining the College to have access to the vendors and completing the quest line to have access to the Archmage's quarters.

There's an app on the nexus called BSA extractor, I believe. Basically works like every archive extraction tool. I use it when I'm running oldrim mods in SE, since SE can't open oldrim bsas. I don't know if there's anything else creation club needs to do.

I use it when I'm running oldrim mods in SE, since SE can't open oldrim bsas. I love the fact that it’s literally called BAE  I know I’ve found it incredibly useful for doing lots of little personal-use modding like extracting custom textures and models from certain mods BSAs for the purpose of editing them in certain ways. Because you can then throw them into your Data directory in the exact path you just extracted it from and they’ll work instantly because loose files trump BSAs.

Is there some easy way I can buff the health of enemies and the player across the board? I'm using Wildcat to improve the combat and while I like some aspects of it I feel like it makes everyone too drat squishy. Basically everyone dies in one or two hits, including you.

Use the Wildcat MCM to reduce the damage multipliers.

Man I can't get my game to run anymore. I made a new profile in MO2 with no mods active and ran SKSE and it worked, so then I started slowly reactivating mods to see if there was a particular offender, and at some point it stopped working, but removing the mods - in fact, removing all the mods - made no difference and the game will not load past the black screen again. ugh what did I dooooooo

So a mod I'm using is gonna get updated soon and the author said he is gonna remove a spell I like from the newest version. What's the best/easiest way to get the spell data from the old version and save it as a small stand-alone thing?

theshim posted:Well, at this point I've pretty much nuked from orbit and am redoing everything. Hopefully I get things functioning properly. I had the exact same problem a few months ago. Fresh modorganizer with skse, worked fine. Added some mods, testing along the way, worked fine. Eventually started to crash, and even going back and disabling everything, crash on startup. Game would work from the steam launcher. After a couple days of troubleshooting I had to nuke and restart. Although, now that I think of it, I didn't check the overwrite folder. Maybe something got put into there that caused issues.

Load up that copy and delete everything that isn’t related to that spell. Be sure to check if the spell is using any assets like sound, meshes, etc. You’ll want a back up of that as well.

Is there a good way to remove a mod once you've started playing? I've realised Immersive Armors is not working for me, so I've turned it off via MCM, but Im thinking to try and remove it altogether

Not safely, no. Just turn it off and ignore it.

Immersive Armors is such a core mod that I'd be trying to figure out which other mod is breaking it and if there's a load order issue.

I can't decide between continuing to play with Volkinator or switching to Ordinator. The main thing holding back being figuring out every mod I'd need to get an ordinator patch for  Red Metal posted:Use the Wildcat MCM to reduce the damage multipliers.  For some reason that didn't occur to me.

Can confirm that Vokriinator Plus put hair on my Dragonborn's chest and zip in her zap. It's madness in the best way. I'm trying it out with Spell Research and a bunch of Enai's mods. It's pretty good flavor wise for the dagger mage I'm rolling with this time. Speaking of Spell Research though, has anyone tried it? It seems hella hard to crack into the next tier if spells. I'd also appreciate a cheat sheet of archetypes if anyone has one.

Orange Crush Rush posted:Rikke's isn't much better either. I had to do a lot of work to get Ulfric/Galmar/Tullius/Rikke into decent sets of armor by basically taking a chainsaw to Immersive Armors. The Heroic Imperial armor looks better with the texture set from Semper Fi, and I had to manually recolour Tullius's Imperial General to match Semper Fi's/Frankly HD's Imperial armor colour schemes, as well as give it the cube map from FHD in NifSkope. It actually does look rather decent with a proper texture set and cube map, but as it comes in IA itself it just looks super gross. The Stormlord armor for Ulfric actually doesn't look half bad aside from those stupidly extra shoulder armor pauldrons. If there was a way to make them less pronounced or replace them with something else it would be mostly fine. Also change the texture on the robe part of the armor to make it line up more with the rest of the Stormcloak colours rather than that stupid super light blue shade. Don't know what the artist was thinking when they made it that way.

Rainbow Knight posted:as long as the other mods don’t mess with perks then yes it’s pretty stable and compatible. and is rad so Fair enough. I'm starting a new character since I wasn't feeling the old one and I figured I'd do some mod cleanup/switches. I got two questions; -Is there like, a less extreme version Morrowloot? I hate how Oblivion handled scaling, and I don't remember how Skyrim handled scaling, so maybe vanilla is what I actually want. Basically I like the idea of enemies having gear more suited to them, and I like rare items being around. However I don't want a bunch of enemies to become essentially harmless because their loot is forever lovely as I progress, and I also don't like the idea of being able to sneak into a house at level 1 and pocket a loving daedric shield. -Has anyone here used Ultimate Deadly Encounters and if so did you have a positive experience with it?

Morrowloot has a "lite" version, maybe look into that. Also, there's the possibility of doing what I did and use MLU with Loot and Degradation, which lets High Level NPCs spawn with tempered gear (Flawless, Epic etc). The Degradation part can be totally turned off, which is what I did because after messing around with it for a while, it became clear Skyrim is just not made for a Degrade/Repair system like Morrowind/Oblivion.
