I shouldn't have said that, and going around on these forums talking to people that way is not what I normally do. It's all good. I just try to make dumb jokes to make people laugh, no harm intended. I am sorry to hear you're not having such a good go of things and I hope things improve for you in the near future. Playing Skyrim should be a place to escape from one's troubles like that anyway. Sadly, modding Skyrim is often a compounding factor in one's troubles, but hey if you can get it working at least...

I decided to install Septimus this morning and spent most of the day playing it. I thought I knew how to mod, but this pack is a revelation. It looks so much better than I’ve ever seen and has so many cool little new things every time I turn around. Usually when I start a game I play for a few hours and put it down for a few months. I think I’m gonna play this again tomorrow!

They only went all-in on Wabbajack recently, I guess because they figured there was more money in people buying premium access than they'd lose from modders leaving the site.

Nexus didn't implement all this stuff for Wabbajack, they made it for their Collections feature. Unfortunately for them, their collections usually don't look that good. Wabbajack you at least know any official modlist is going to be in good shape. Personally I like to use Wabbajack to find new mods/mod combinations that I never would have thought of, and then uninstall and make a pared down list myself.

I just wish somebody would do wabbajack lists that were just a bunch of baseline engine/performance fix stuff that can be added on to. Right now it’s basically the beginner-friendly level of letting a wabbajack do everything, and the much more complicated level of the individual doing everything and figuring it all out. There’s no good middle ground of a wabbajack getting you to a decent place to start doing your own fiddling.

Cross posted from The Sims 4 thread:Omnicarus posted:The Sims Modding community is like a siren song for deranged lunatics. The one that I remember well is the patreon modder who paywalled all of her stuff, required her subscribers to DM her so she could send them a customized version of her content, then packaged each content package with the subscriber's number in embedded in the blender texture file metadata, and started doxxing people she suspected of leaking her content. This included photoshopping personal pictures of subscribers to try and make it look like they were doing illegal things at work and sending them to their workplace.

Sim modders frequently lost their poo poo over Pescado's site where he hosts free downloads of paywall content. It was even more fun when anyone pointed out to them that paywalled mods theoretically violated the EULA.

I think suggesting Nexus has anything to do with it is pretty thin. This kind of drama goes back to before even the founding of SA when there was high drama on planet quake and such. I can't imagine more anti-that dude than Collections anyway. edit: The magic wabbajack does where it doesn't even slightly touch your install folder and so can easily have multiple mod installs is the major thing Collections lack. Collections does symlinks that still throw a bunch of files everywhere even when you purge. It also doesn't do exe/dll mods like skse and enb so you end up with a lot more manual steps (tho easy ones typically). FuzzySlippers fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jul 31, 2022 |

I miss the rants that were spurred by the villainous existence of a rating system an Nexus, which was replaced by a like/dislike system which was also hated by awful mod authors. Now it’s just a thumbs up or nothing and you’ll like it. Feedback is not wanted here thank you. This is cool, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Wabbajack is good Septimus is good LOTD is good Life is good e: I'm honestly surprised how well much of the Anniversary Edition content is integrated into the game when you're using Septimus, really helps giving some more flavor and variety to the world. I like the new armor sets, particularly the skill variants, like the light dwemer mail. I'm even enjoying the occasional bit of fishing ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Aug 1, 2022 |

Oh the days of giving a mod anything less than a perfect 10 resulting in a ban. Trainwiz got banned for insinuating that an NPC follower mod looked like an alien (giving rise to the Bhruce Hammar alien quest).

Back in the day I thought the Dawnguard vampires weren't very good, but Sacrosanct and Humanoid Vampire Lord makes a big difference. Sacrosanct adds a lot of interesting vampire changes in general but it makes the vampire lord form way more useful and interesting. I never thought the mutant werebat form mode vibed very well with how I think of vampires, but Humanoid Vampire Lord takes care of that. So now it's just kind of a cool floating casting mode with its own upgrade tree.

I can't say 100% for sure if it's the case, but Septimus' unique starting area for live another life has the knockon effect of making everyone look MUCH brighter during the initial RaceMenu where you set skin tones and stuff, it's a common problem people have. Or yeah, the skin colours and curled hair may have been modded into White-appeasing.

Or yeah, the skin colours and curled hair may have been modded into White-appeasing. I'll give the skin colours a bit less of a side eye, but the hair is real dumb. The included one makes everything straight and kind of feathery? Which even beyond screwing over Redguard, it also fucks up the curly norse locks look for the Nords. At least it's an easy fix (just turn off the vanilla hair replacer). The skin colour has a lot of suspects to dig through though and I'm not sure what I can rip out without breaking poo poo.

I'm not sure what skin texture mods Septimus uses but I've had that problem pretty consistently with male skin replacers. I get the feeling from the preview screenshots a lot of them get tuned around Nords and Dunmer for whatever reason. The female ones I use seem to show the actual skin color -more- sharply so Redguards look fine but all the mer are kinda bright. That said I've never heard of a hair mod that removes vanilla options. There's some mesh replacers but they match the original hairstyles. Maybe the vanilla hairs are getting lost in between the other packs? I have KS and some HDT physics hairs and the vanilla hairstyles end up at the end of the KS hairs but before the HDT ones for me. Edit: Oh if it is the replacer then that's dumb yeah. I know hair packs aren't good about curly hair since they're mostly ports of Sims hair mods but you shouldn't remove vanilla options. Tyty fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Aug 2, 2022 |

Ironically, whatever skin shader is included in Septimus(2 is the version I'm using, not sure if it's the same or different) was the best shader I've used for making my Dark Elf dragonborn actually dark.

Assuming Septimus includes RaceMenu (and it looks like it does?) you can also set custom skin and hair colors through that. You might want to activate it through the console once you've actually gotten into the gameworld though (I think the command is 'showracemenu' but don't quote me on that). I've definitely run into lighting issues in the Live Another Life starting area before (though I don't know how Septimus customizes it at all).
