the technical improvements seem to be good. bigger esl files is certainly a plus.

Will I still be able to launch the game through mod organizer without having to update or will I need to turn my internet off each time?

You can still launch through MO. Pretty much just don't launch it from Steam and you should be good. Something I've been doing for years as well is copying the entire Skyrim directory in steam/steamapps/common as well, just in case I ever launch it improperly. If it does somehow get updated you can just copy the files back over. There is a method of downgrading if you need too but that's easier.

If it does somehow get updated you can just copy the files back over. That sounds similar to the Stock Game method that a lot of Wabbajack lists use, where they include a copy of all the main Skyrim files in the download to ensure that the exact correct version is used alongside their modlist (you still need to have the game installed through Steam to ensure you have a valid game license, though). So, another vote that that approach works!

Both SKSE and Address Library have been updated to the new version, so that should cover most of everything except for one-off obscure poo poo that will either get patched, or won't. Update at your own risk though.

If you make the appmanifest_XXXX.acf file in Steam\steamapps\ read-only (Right click > Properties > Read only), then Steam won't ever be able to upgrade the game. Did this for CP 2077 for a couple months after some patch or other came out, it works. What XXXX is will depend on your version of the game. If you're running the AE for example, it'll be 626153 as seen here: https://steamdb.info/sub/626153/apps/. So you want to make Steam\steamapps\appmanifest_626153.acf read only. But for Skyrim I relied on the backup copy, same as Orcs and Ostriches. v1ld fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Dec 5, 2023 |

They did add some new things, but overall this is probably a testbed for Starfield and TES6 https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/18bg0q4/meta_skyrims_new_update_reviewed_and_paid_mods/ new papyrus fuctions ESL record count limit doubled from 2048 to 4096 so larger plugins can be flagged as ESL CK updated

Moonshine Rhyme posted:Will I still be able to launch the game through mod organizer without having to update or will I need to turn my internet off each time? hide the app manifest. The skyrim one is your steamapps folder and without it steam cant detect the game. Then you can just play the game via mod organizer.

They added the ability to the launcher instead of needing to edit an ini. The UI is still stretched out unless you mod it with a Sky UI ultrawide patch.

Arthmoor hard at work fixing the most critical bugs in the latest update to the unofficial patch:quote:When Redbelly Mine was fixed, its ebony nodes were relocated to Northwind Mine. This has now been updated to instead relocate them to a new mini-dungeon east of Shor's Stone. (Bug #33087)

I feel like adding a new dungeon whole cloth might be out of scope for a bug fix mod, but I'm not a mod developer I guess.

His vision DEMANDS the new dungeon, just as it demanded the oblivion gates in Open Cities. He's a technically proficient dipshit. Random, pointless changes followed by stubborn resistance to legitimate criticism is his bread and butter. The biggest plus in Starfield modding is that Arthmoor has absolutely loving nothing to do with the community patch.

why were the ebony mining deposits even moved out of redbelly in the first place?

characters in-game refer to redbelly mine as an iron mine, but there were no iron nodes in there, only ebony nodes

I feel like they should have left one ebony node in there, because otherwise where did the blacksmith in Shor's Stone get the ebony from? Or is there something stupid preventing that like Skyrim's coding allows a single cell to only have one kind of ore deposit or something like that?

No, and in fact Gloombound Mine is an already existing vanilla mine with iron and ebony ore. There's no logic to it, it's just Arthmoor.

Yeah I thought that wasn't the case, but I couldn't be 100% certain that the examples I was thinking of didn't have the two ore nodes in technically different cells.

Redbelly Mine having unusual ore is referenced ingame, there's a quest about it even. That just wasn't enough justification for Arthmoor i guess

I can understand taking the ebony out, but not putting it elsewhere. Oh well, it's not a deal breaker.

Kinda surprised Arthmoor didn't go with "Well ackshually ebony's not a mineral, it's a hardwood, so instead of mining it you have to cut down special trees. I'm smart."

I'm glad Beth didn't put paid mods into the Elder Scrolls game that's actually got the revolutionary modding scene going on right now. Animation Blending, but apparently the OpenMW dev branch has this too. Tamriel Rebuilt is what I'm going to play when it's finished (if I'm still alive by then). There's not much of that quality for any of the other games.

Honestly the Redbelly thing could be mostly fixed by just changing the ore sample to ebony. You wouldn't need to change anything else from vanilla and it would more or less make sense.

Tough call, would be difficult to justify the presence of Oblivion gates without supply mines nearby. It's not easy being lore-accurate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/18e2qqo/i_bought_every_creation_so_you_dont_have_to/ Sounds like about the expected level of quality, though apparently the East Empire Company dungeon claiming is a bit weird because the dungeons respawn and... well the claiming thing doesn't quite account for that.
