Also I recommend https://dragonbornsfate.moddinglinked.com/ using that as a baseline at least for all the fixes and tweaks. I've run the Lux and Lux via mods which look nice. True directional movement and nemesis combined with Valhalla combat makes the game seem fresh. ( Skyrim is sort of my comfort gaming when I need to tune out and can't handle anything deeper. Like some people rewatch Friends for the umpteenth time, I mod Skyrim into shape) Additionally I recommend SmoothCam and I've heard good things about Improved camera SE. You do not need ENB for anything really anymore, like I'm running with parallax textures just fine without it.

Ended up basically nuking my entire Skyrim install after getting sick of constant crashes I couldn't solve. None of the Wabbajack lists look interesting to me, so guess I am starting over.

I want to collect all of the things and put them in my shiny museum again. Can somebody give me a quick breakdown of the strengths/weaknesses of the current wabbajack packs that include Legacy of the Dragonborn? There seem to be only 4 right now.

I can't believe I'm starting again gently caress my life. yeah lol. I had to restart because I had to return to NFF instead of EFF. It sucks that EFF doesn't let me designate a character as healer. Also I started using Fabled Forests and managed to get Dyndolod working. NGIO's precache stopped working for me a while ago so the large overgrown forest mods just hides my nonexistent grass lods. Skyrim being covered by almost primeval forests is also a nice touch. Tankbuster fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jul 10, 2023 |

I was hoping somebody could, like, confirm or deny my impressions here, or be able to point out some modpack I missed that's not one of these that includes it but doesn't have that tag. I was also hoping to find one where killing people with magic is actually practical as my main weapon unlike the last time I played where i was having some problems and grabbed the shittiest bow and shittiest arrows i had in my inventory with no skill gained or perks and it outperformed destruction magic so the low-magic pack is doubly not what I want

three of the four have enairim enabled so its not just going to be visual overhauls. There will be differences in skills, perks, races etc too.

I want a significant amount of not-base-game Things to do, ideally that were not in the older version of Septimus when it had Legacy of the Dragonborn in it. (And are any good, of course.) What is enairim like anyway? I think Septimus used a different base for its changes.

its enaision's suites of mods that overhaul mechanical aspects of the game. I mostly use the other suite of mods: simonrim which is a much more reserved mod series. If you are using enairim, you can make some really cool and wacky character builds, have cool spell synergies and the like. If you want more content, get the one in your list that specifically mentions power fantasy.

The largest difference between them is probably going to be if they use Enairim overhauls or Simonrim overhauls. Simonrim is more vanilla plus while Enairim tends to be a more drastic departure from vanilla. Edit: if you want to play a mage both are better than vanilla but the Enaison spells also add a bunch of really cool utility spells and weirdness, so I'd probably go with that. If one of them also uses Forgotten Magic then you're loving golden for a mage character. Double Edit: Lost Legacy is probably what you want if you're wanting to be a loving kick rear end mage.

And a lot of the mods/changes in this upcoming version do look interesting or "Oh, yes, that'd be good to have" So my options are "No", "No", "Eeeehhhhnnnn", and "Not Ready".  Guess I'll just keep checking.

Hey, late last year I stumbled upon a modpack that uses Vortex, thus requiring a Nexus premium account to use. It's based off of the Anniversary Edition. I've played countless hours of this game since it first launched on PS3, and this pack was the first time I've felt like it was an entirely new game. A complete revamp of how the entire game feels on a fundamental level without actually removing any of the vanilla content. It's called Constellations. It's based off of the mod Requiem, but the pack author custom coded countless patches to make it more wide open, and be compatible with an immense amount of other mods, including Vigilant, Sirenroot, and the Saints and Seducers Extended Cut. It even spruces up some vanilla quests. Like the Thieves' Guild and Companions have you do the radiant quests and special jobs in-between the main quests and the College requires you to study magic and be a student for a bit before the Sarthaal quest. 3DNPC is included as well, which had an astonishing amount of content and two entire secret main questlines. The creator is extremely responsive on the pack's Discord server. I reported a few bugs and they were fixed on the next update. I once had a dave file get some sort of game-breaking script lag, and he had me send him the save and he manually fixed it for me within a day. Unfortunately, it does NOT include Legacy of the Drsgonborn, so its not 100% relevant to the request for packs, but drat I just love this pack so much that I had to gush about it somewhere. Anyway, here's the link. https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/9zfscf?tab=about

Last time I used a Requiem based mod list I looked up advice for a new player and they recommended spending several hours in Riverwood chopping down trees and making flutes to sell so you could afford armor and weapons to survive clearing out bandits in Embershard Mine. What was your early game experience?

What was your early game experience? You do still start as a nobody, though the Skyrim Unbound presets the pack come with let you start with basic adventuring gear, either randomized, or chosen by you. You also start with 6 Perk Points which helps a lot. I've played several characters now, and my early game is usually to use training dummies to get my basic weapon or spell skills up to 25, while making money either through chopping wood or running courier missives or personal favors for townspeople. The first few levels are rough, where you mostly are going to want to only fight mud crabs, wolves, skeevers, and low level humanoids that attack by themselves. Requiem in this pack is immensely expanded to include various combat mods, magic mods, and all the CC content. Its also MUCH easier to make a build of whatever you want. I made an Imperial Vampire samurai who exclusively used katanas and wind magic and it Just Worked. I even started in County Bruma just for fun! Oh, and there's also optional patches that tone down all enemy stats, or just start you at level 10 to skip the early game and go straight to bandit-level threats.

In a similar boat, running with some simonrim ones on my current playthrough. I think the general simplistic view is that simonrim is more vanilla+/vanilla enhancement based, where enais mods are slightly more 'overhaul' types that change a bunch of stuff. I don't notice 95% of the time that I've got almost all the simonrim mods on (though the last time I played was about 4 years ago which may affect my memory) so they slot in quite nicely with the vanilla experience, I think the only one I've intentionally skipped is the alchemy overhaul because it makes health potions heal over time and I'm too dumb to remember that when I'm playing Both suites have a pretty good name and there's no showstoppers for either as far as I'm aware, so it's just about what sort of vibe you want!

I run both, different characters on different profiles. I specifically use Enai's older set - Ordinator, etc. I don't know what his newer set works like that's more vanilla. You get a lot stronger in Enai, and can more easily do weirder builds. You can do stuff like Rat Summoners, or Skeleton Armies, or Illusion Dream Thief style play. There's a lot of specific stuff you can unlock in the skill trees and magic overhauls, and then even more if you get into his shouts overhaul and whatnot. Simon's are more like Vanilla++. Some of the weaker skill trees and spell schools are buffed. Some of the stronger things (Alch, Enchanting, Smithing) are nerfed. QoL all over as well. It's also very well done, but you might need to stick to a more standard style build.

So is it no longer considered necessary to clean the DLC plugins anymore? For so many years it was considered by the modding community to be good practice. I'm surprised that it could eventually be revealed as pointless.

This modpack's wabbjack generates its own installation of skyrim separate from the one steam has so whatever that means I assume if it's necessary it does it itself.

Anybody got any idea why I can't forge dwarven armor despite having the perk for it in this modpack? I'm guessing some drat mod made it so I have to do it somewhere specific, but I'm not sure how to tell which one.

I've seen lists that include a mod requiring you to have the Ancient Knowledge perk from the Unfathomable Depths sidequest that starts in Riften before you can craft dwarven armor, maybe that's what's going on. If you're handy with xEdit you can check the recipes for the armor there and see what the requirements are, or you can ask on the list's Discord to find out for sure.
