I'd recommend "Legacy of the Dragonborn" for someone with a simple mod setup like this. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11802 It may need a patch or two https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30980?tab=files It's very respectful and lore-friendly, bug-free, and integrates into the main game seamlessly. Less "janky quest-line" and more based around adding smaller quests and expanding the main game without you noticing. Pontificating Ass fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Nov 25, 2021 |

Thinking of starting a new run, modding pretty heavily (I've only played Vanilla+QoL before). I have read something about the Anniversary Edition overwriting the SE even if you don't buy the [strike]horse armour[/strike] curated mods, and all the mods needing to be updated before they work after the update. Does everything work right now, or should I wait another couple of weeks or three?

It's a little bit jank, because all shouts are, and you might want something like Ordinator that has perks related to shouting, but it was pretty cool for an all-in Dragonborn playthrough.

If you want to convert souls to perks, one of the dragon mods has an option in its MCM for that, I think Deadly Dragons? Otherwise adding a mod to a Wabbajack list is always risky, but handle it like adding a mod to your own list - check for conflicts, resolve as necessary.

On the topic of dragon souls and perks, there's a neat little mod called Dragon Soul Absorption for NPC that functions similar to how Miraak would steal souls from you in Dragonborn until you finally killed him. You can use xEdit to give various followers or other NPCs the ability to absorb dragon souls from slain dragons, provided they engaged the dragon in battle prior to it dying. It has a 50% chance of triggering by default, but you can edit that in xEdit to be whatever you'd like. The only downside is that if the NPC absorbs the soul, you don't get it as well, and if you go into the Mirmulnir fight with a follower who can absorb souls and the script triggers, it breaks the rest of the quest after you kill him. But otherwise it's a neat little mod if you're roleplaying that there's other Dragonborn in Skyrim other than you the player, or if you want to do a "I'm the follower to the real Dragonborn" type of game.

If you're on 1.6.xx (AE branch) you need the newest skse (2.1.3 for version 1.6.323), address library AE edition, and then EF 6.0.2. You also need Part2 still, but that didn't need an update. Semi-related news but apparently loading sunrise/sunset times from Climate records in plugins has been completely broken if you load an interior save game since 2011 and no one really noticed until now, lol.

You can add shouts to a character’s spell list through xEdit, but it’s honestly more trouble than it’s worth. The only shouts the NPC AI seems to know how to use are Unrelenting Force, Fire Breath, and Frost Breath. And if they use any of those shouts in the presence of guards, they will instantly aggro them and net you a bounty, which will just keep climbing higher as the guards and followers duke it out and possibly kill one another. Seems cool at the start, but it’s ultimately a huge pain in the rear end.

I have to say that Morrowind modding is a big contrast. It just got a whole lot better while Skyrim is a clusterfuck. It is worth mentioning that you get 4 esp for SSE. Even if you dont upgrade to AE. I recommend simply doing the upgrade, then using a patcher to downgrade SE or have someone send you the old version. Then editing settings in steam back to "update on launch". Then only activate Skyrim with SKSE. It seems like most of the big mods out there like: -SKSE -USSEP -WACCF -eFPS -SSE Engine Bug fixes You still get all of these for SSE, but I think AE is what will be supported going forward. As when SE first launched, its seems like most mod authors have accepted it is the new norm. But I still prefer to stick to 1.5 a little longer, at least until I have done a playthrough. I can say with confidence that my Skyrim playthrough has never been this solid. Honestly all I truly need now is to add controller support, do a run of DynDOLOD and tweak some serious SmoothCam settings. Midig fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Nov 26, 2021 |

Yeah most of the big baseline stuff like that has either a working version or a preliminary release that is basically functional by now. The only mod that I'm really 100% waiting on right now is Racemenu, and the author is working on that per their pinned post.

So I've got my huge mod list sorted in LOOT, it mentions that some need their "masters list sorted" via xEdit or something? I've tried downloading xEdit to do this, but whenever I try to launch it it complains it can't find Fallout4 installed (even though I'm opening the TES5 exe, not FO4). Is this necessary to do? I suppose I'd like to know how to use xEdit with MO2/LOOT in case it does come up though

Helith posted:Ulfric uses shouts when you take Solitude, but most people would never see that because who ever sides with the stormcloaks I don't think I've ever sided with the stormcloaks in any playthrough, I think they thought you would empathize with Ulfric because you were both cart-buddies and the imperials tried to execute you, but your character probably deserved getting executed based on what they do in the rest of the game. But with the choice between "Roman legion sad it lost to elves and taking their orders now" and "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Nordic children" I'll go with the first choice every time. One thing that bugs me about the quest design in bethesda games is they railroad you pretty hard into 1, maybe 2 choices, which I don't usually mind in most games, but bethesda games are all about the open world and making your own choices which makes it much more annoying when they don't think up enough multiple choices that would make sense for the player to take, I'd of liked the choice to challenging Ulfric to a shouting contest and end the civil war right then and there or take over as the new leader of the rebellion as my own faction. Any mods that do that for the civil war?

I don't think ive ever really played that close attention to that conflict in Skyrim (but ive also maybe played it once before in which I was more concerned with stealing everything that wasn't nailed down) - the Imperials seem like assholes, not to mention the house in Whiterun that's siding with them also seems like assholes. But the Stormcloaks from little I've seen of them so far are kind of obnoxious. I am currently more concerned with pursuit of magic and power and ORB. But yeah, I was just thinking about New Vegas basically not really forcing you into Legion or NCR and allowing you a few other options like Yes Man.

I'm new to modding but found sseedit very useful so far. make sure you install it and are opening it from the game directory (where skyrimse.exe is) and launch it from mo2 (add it as an executable like skse, if you clone the skse executable in mo2 the only change you should need to make is changing the skse loader.exe in the filepath to SSEEdit.exe if you've installed it in the right place) e: make sure you downloaded the right one, tes5edit is legendary edition I think, sseedit is for SE, different nexus pages

The Imperials themselves are nicer, but they also work for genocidal assholes, there really isn't much of a direction to go in without hitting some rear end in a top hat who wants genocide in the Civil War. (the Imperials definitely feel better, just because the immediate people you interact with aren't said assholes) Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 27, 2021 |

I mean, the first Imperials you interact with want to behead you despite you not being on the list of people to behead. I was temped to hold a grudge and say gently caress the imperials for that reason alone until I heard what the Stormcloak's deal is.  (that said I might just make this mage a real bastard) As much as you probably go on to do very many crime worthy things, it feels like the least they could have done was have you choose a background & crime as part of character creation.

It's Imperialist (literally) Colonizers that are currently getting grabbed by the balls by Nazi Elves vs. more or less White Nationalists, lead by someone too stupid to turn a group of people who hate both the Nazi Elves and the Imperialists to his cause. Normally between those two kind of choices I'd say "lol gently caress off" but it's hard to ignore not picking a side just makes said Nazi Elves that much stronger. That being said, it's also hard to ignore how hard the death of the Empire has been foreshadowed since Morrowind, and how TES games tend to use Foreshadowing as a major narrative force. To the point where I wouldn't be surprised if Stormcloaks actually ended up being a canon victory, assuming Bethesda has the balls to declare a canon winner and not just pulling a Dragonbreak or whatever.
