Did you do the whole baseline setup with cleaning vanilla masters etc before diving into installing SkyUI? Maybe it's having a funky interaction with the literal megabytes of trash entries in the vanilla BSAs.

Amppelix posted:ok, i appreciate trying to help but you really didn't have to scroll very far up the thread for the answer to this Ah, if you were using the built in mod thing, yeah reinstall skyrim from scratch, install MO2, and then go through the somewhat painstaking beginning processes for Skyrim STEP http://wiki.step-project.com/Main_Page, at least up through cleaning the vanilla masters (Step 3) and getting them added as a mod in MO2. Once you got that done, you shouldn't have any weirdness going on with basic stuff like SkyUI. SKSE64 needs to be installed in the actual Skyrim directory, though you can pack up the scripts into a custom mod and control them via MO2 as well if you like. orange juche fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Dec 25, 2020 |

thanks for that too but, luckily, seems like just a reinstall fixed whatever was gunking up the pipes of skyui i'll remember that if something else starts to break but i don't plan on installing anything more on this save so it should be fine

Also the plugin file for SkyUI itself is technically broken and needs to have Skyrim.esm added as a master to it with xEdit. It’s really weird and dumb and most people don’t even realize it, but it makes a world of difference. Again, the Phoenix Flavour guide that I linked earlier goes over how to fix that.

ah, so that's why it doesn't support the ingame manager! i really wish it did, skyui is one of those no brainer installs along with the unofficial patch and if you're doing a vanilla playthrough it would be nice if you didn't have to dig out the third party programs for the massive load order of two (2) mods

The Vokrii perk overhaul adds "Padding" perks to the Smithing skill. I haven't tried those perks myself (using the mod for the first time as a Heavy Armor warrior), but supposedly they allow you to reinforce Clothing to the point where it gives you viable levels of defence.

Sure, after you grind up your smithing and enchanting and are 50 hours into your playthrough I always like cosmetic options (even in a game like skyrim where I'm definitely not looking at my character most of the time) and having a simple way to just wear something for the looks would be neat. I imagine it would be pretty hard to implement though.

Fortunately the way armour works by default, it's nearly completely worthless until you get lots, or heavily perked, anyways. Running around naked vs running around in steel is basically the same thing. For clarity, each point of armour you have reduces damage by 0.12%. If you have a full set of steel, with shield, you have 96 armour. Or you reduce damage by about 11%. If the average enemy does 10-20 damage at the time, and you have 200 HP, you will die in 14 hits with no armour class. With a flat 100 armour, you will just survive one extra hit. I don't really find that a big deal. There's a hidden armour rating of +25 for each slot you have filled, which far exceeds the armour rating of most pieces. As long as you have something in the main slots, you should be fine. Orcs and Ostriches fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Dec 26, 2020 |

Anyone know of some good, recent (2019/2020) videos, either just showing the mods off or a let's play that highlights melee combat and associated mods? Haven't played in years and getting slammed hard even on adept in the early game trying out a few different combat mods to try out melee. Historically I played ranged or caster just to avoid the melee system but I'd like to give it a shot if someone has improved it in a way I like but I'm relatively sure my initial problem is not sucking instead of mod problems.

I've played around with a bunch of dodge, target lockon, and weapon style mods to spice up melee. They all sucked, and really don't work in Skyrim. There's stuff like Wildcat that can make it slightly more interesting under the hood, but you're not really gonna get a good overhaul of the melee system, or turn it into Dark Souls or whatever.

Though I've been using it with all its settings cranked down by like 75% because it goes a little buck wild with certain things like the leaning when you change direction. But I really liked the stuff it does with two-handed weapons like being able to flip between one or two handed stance, being able to equip magic or a shield and and two-hander, and its dodge roll mechanic. It's immensely scalable especially if you don't want to turn Skyrim into Dark Souls.

I just finished about 8 hours into Elysium and I think I'm going to look for another mod list. It looks very good and LOTD is great, but I'm pissed that Delphine looks like a barbie and the dodge/combat/stamina is way too aggressive and I feel like I need to poopsock. Any lists that support creation club and are non nudity/barbie NPCs?

Eldersouls just updated and their npc replacers are much less barbie esque. No lotd and weird saving/leveling mechanics based on Darksouls. It also has a bunch of super hard monsters that aren't leveled so you're pretty much forced to stay in Whiterun for the first 10-15 levels. But you can get there by clearing out a handful of dungeons. Here's what it uses for female NPCs https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20575 You could maybe install that or a different replacer on top. If it breaks it you can re-install Elysium, if you didn't delete the download folder it doesn't need to re-download anything. You can change stamina costs for dodge in the mcm if it's ultimate dodge mod, also how frequently NPCs use it. I think Elysium is the only one that supports creation club.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Is there a "port oldrim mods to SE" guide for dummies sonewhere For the vast majority of mods it’s as simple as opening them up in the new Creation Kit and then saving. You will need to get the Skyrim SE kit from the Bethesda Launcher unfortunately though. Then just run through Mod Organizer. For mods that come with textures that need updating, open up the .bsa in Cathedral Assets Optimizer and make sure the “necessary optimizations” are selected. SKSE mods have to be remade with SKSE64, however. That’s usually the biggest barrier to posting LE mods.

I have half a month off for christmas break and decided to grab SE and mod it a bunch yesterday, everything works well after testing (I'm doing a survival focused modpack) just wondering one thing after spending a fair amount of time combing the OP for cool and good mods. I don't really know if there's a better way to ask this but is there like a non/less-horny alternative to CBBE? Something that's a body/head rework but focused on diversity of different body types and not just babydoll-hourglass for T&A posing? I have racemenu and that does an OK job of filling that gap but I'm wondering if there's a more robust rework for body/head fidelity out there.

Is there a mod that will let me make my mainhand (or offhand) match equipping my offhand (or main)? Say I got a sword in my main and a spell in my offhand, I can press a button that'll equip the spell in my offhand into my mainhand as well. The reason I want this is the VRIK mod lets me do gestures to swap between stuff, its great but if I want to dual cast I have to pause and equip the spell. And having the gesture equip to both hands means having to reequip my sword with each spell swap.

While asking about quality of life improvements, is there a method or mod that lets me sort by total stack weight, not individual item weight? I'm starting to get ingredients that have stack sizes in the hundreds, and even if they only weigh 0.05 each it's starting to weigh me down quite a bit. It's also easy to miss something like a bunch of iron bars or pieces of leather when I'm trying to cut down on my weight after returning to town.

I think the ones that change character models have been separated by gender since Oblivion, which makes a certain amount of sense, making a mod that does both is essential twice the amount of work. The male body replacers can be just as fetishistic and in at least one regard just as anatomically impossible as the female ones. Though they don't feature the variety of body types female ones do, I have yet to see a mod that turns all the male NPCs into androgynous twinks or something.

Now that I've played, just short runs for trying them out, a good chunk of the wabbajack modlists I fear for the people who maintain them. They're not all bad but the majority of them seem too devoted to trying to cut out fun in the name of modifying systems instead of just enjoying the game as a game. Of course that just means I now want to spend hours upon hours making my own setup and getting it work properly but no way I'm going to put that kind of time in when the most likely result is I'll get it done and then not feel like playing. I guess I'll probably stick with the visual overhaul and treat it as just a replay of the game after years of not having gone through the main story.

It also lets you do gestures to equip things without needing to open a menu, and you can place weapons on your body which you can then pull from to equip. Spellsiphon does a few things magic focused. Your main hand shoots out a beam that does some damage and also absorbs and element from what it hits (lightning if its a moving entity, ice if its dead, fire for anything else). Your offhand has a ward that acts like a shield and you can even parry with it, which knocks back your attacker and even slows down time. You can also summon a bound weapon that interacts with whatever element you've absorbed to do different things. I got a recording here of some gameplay with these things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr32WHkHQEg Weapon Throw lets you throw poo poo, you can also set it to return the weapon back to you like that one super hero. VR Arsenal lets you make kunai and shurikens to throw.
