Bitching and moaning by a small clique of prima donnas, who immediately became completely irrelevant because everyone wants mod packs. I've been playing a lot of Rimworld lately and it's really incredible how different the modding community is vs Skyrim's. A big update came out recently for Rimworld and it broke basically all the mods. Tons got updated very quickly, but many didn't, and so people simply adopted them and posted a link to the updated version on the original's page. No drama at all, it's highly encouraged to take someone's mod and tweak it so long as you give credit. There's even a reupload template. I'm glad Skyrim is finally getting to that point, but drat it took a decade.

Jack B Nimble posted:The mod pack included TUDM, so I can only assume it included nemesis. Do you think it would hurt anything if installed/reinstalled it? In general adding/removing/reinstalling anything in a modlist has a decent chance of breaking things, so it's not usually recommended unless you know what you're doing and can fix any issues/conflicts yourself. There are support channels on the Wabbajack and Elysium Discords, those are likely your best bet to get this working. I can't speak for Elysium since I've never tried it, but the QWEST discord had a whole essay about how to get controllers working, it wouldn't surprise me if Elysium had something similar.

Has anyone ever used The Ultimate Dodge before? Hey, uh just checking... have you tested it outside the Lal character creation room? cos TUDM straight up doesn't work in there for some reason far beyond me.

Jack B Nimble posted:I downloaded the Elysium mod pack from Wabbajack, which says it's difficulty is somewhere between Vanilla Skyrim and Reqium. It includes the "The Ultimate Dodge" mod, which gives you a dark souls-style dodge with i-frames. You can't dodge in the live another life character starting cell room. It's disabled in there, choose your actual start at the statue of mara and then sleep in the bed and you'll be able to dodge.

I would kill for a UI overhaul like this, I think this was just made as a proof of concept but man it would be fantastic. I can see some issues with it just because Skyrim ahs a lot more item bloat than BotW does, but what a nice menu this would be. https://www.beckyschmader.com/skyrim-ui

I need spell names, especially since almost everyone who would use this mod would also use mods that drastically change the spells in game. Breath of the Wilds system works because of weapon breakage and only having a handful of spells.

After all that complaining and troubleshooting I ended up switching back the Reqiuem mod pack called Serenity and disregarding dodging entirely. I am, however, still using True Directional Movement and am playing through the game for the first time in third person with a game pad. Honestly, it's not as impossible as I thought it would be to play Reqiuem with a gamepad; the melee combat may be less precise, but once you get a few perk points in block you can just do that. I'm currently level 6 and trying Bleakfall Barrows, I can handle invidual Draugur without much trouble but we'll see how I deal with the larger groups and, god help me, the main chamber.

There's a LOT of things that change character models but probably 80% of them are people that really want to gently caress or be hosed by their characters. Here is the "Bodies, Face, and Hair" category on nexus (do not look at this at work this is almost all nude): https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/categories/26/ here is "Models and Textures" which is a more general category for all game models: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/categories/29/

Just because mod authors can't take their own mods on Nexus down anymore, doesn't mean that someone can reupload someone else's work without permission. In fact, Skyrim modding is going the opposite direction. The Nexus business model disincentives mod authors from doing this, because mod authors won't want those downloads going to other uploaders.

The Gadfly posted:Exactly. Also, being part of popular Wabbajack modpacks or collections is extremely valuable. How? I don't rate mods in general, but if I did I wouldn't go through and up vote every mod in a massive pack that I liked. I guess it juices your numbers for "most popular" and especially if you sort by "unique downloads" but Wabbajack lists are hundreds of mods long, so if you're not massively popular outside of a wabbajack that just puts you in the top several hundred mods.

If you look at Nexus' policies, unique downloads are what really matter. Wabbajack uses Nexus' API so unique downloads are tracked in the same way between downloading a mod via a browser or Wabbajack. Ratings are nice, but only really useful in ultimately increasing unique downloads.

Hey, does anyone have any experience with the Static Skill Leveling mod? I'm currently level 11 and I seem to have run into a bug. I can't raise certain skills by more than one more point, and other skills at all, and yet other skills aren't effected at all. When I can't raise the skills, I get a pop up that says "you need to level up before you can raise this skill further". I had skill raises per level un capped, but also tried changing them to 10 points. I'm about to restart Skyrim and see if that helps.

You might have a separate mod that caps your skill levels based on your experience level. I know Elysium has this, for example, so that you can’t just power level smithing or whatever to 100 without getting your character level up first. I started a new character the other day and I couldn’t get alchemy above 30 at level 5, for example. Once I hit level 6, it let me get it up to 32.

That's a good guess, and maybe some like that is going wrong, but I'm level 11 and can't raise skills of all kinds of levels, 5, 10, 25; seems to be random. Also I can raise some 1 point and others not at all, and still others as much as I want. Restarting Skyrim doesn't seem to have fixed it. Reloading the game didn't fix the issue; I could go back to previous saves but if it's gaining a level that did it, ugh, that was a while ago because I had to both level and then sleep, which doesn't happen often in this play through.

Static Skill Levelling is designed to work with (but doesn't require) Experience, which in addition to giving XP based on things other than raising your skills, caps how high you can raise a skill based on your level. If you're using a modpack, check to see if Experience is included.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I'm taking a break right now. I've made the bold (foolish) decision to push forward and see if the issue is fixed the next time I gain a level. But I don't overwrite saves so I can go back the other way if I have to, though I'm not sure how much I'll want to..

Experience is pretty solid, forces you to go places and do things to actually get skill points. A weird side effect is getting XP from books so you basically just read every book you find, hopefully you’re using the “Unread Books Glow” mod

If you didn't hit the agree button, it was supposed to dump you to desktop.

My first "mod Author forum" thread was a "stupid questions from users" and, yeah, players can be dumb, but that's why you put up a FAQ and just ignore dumb questions. My favorite mod author forum thread was the one about Bethesdas first attempt at paid mods, where Arthmoor admitted to being broke and unemployed.
