Steamworks is literally click "subscribe" and then when you fire up the skyrim launcher let it load up your mods the first time through.

I wouldn't think it'd affect the balance much beyond allowing you to level slower, as your main skills are going to take more use to raise. Lockpicking and any of the others you dumpstered might make up for it, but I've never tried setting a skill below 15, so I'm pretty curious about it honestly!

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I've searched on and off for one since Skyrim came out, but is there a mod that makes followers less...robust? I like having Lydia around, but she pretty handily steamrolls everything we encounter and trivializes a lot of combat--even with mods that make the game more difficult in general. I could leave her at the entrance but, like I said, I like the company and the ability to actually have them participate in fights. Also, short of me accidentally planting an arrow in the back of her head when she was down on one knee, I've pretty much never seen a follower legitimately die. I guess enemies ignore them the instant they're in a "defeated" mode, so it becomes somewhat unlikely for followers to actually die in combat. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15524/ This is about the closest that comes to mind, it lets you manually adjust their skill points, so you could simply choose to hold back from min/maxing them, keep their armor and combat skills lower, etc. I think you'd need to actually change part of the combat ai so characters don't stop attacking even when someone yields or is down, to get enemies to follow through and kill your followers.

Weather is definitely something that can hurt your performance, sometimes the fog or rain that rolls through with Frostfall will make it chug loading a new cell for a couple seconds. My PC runs solidly on medium settings, and ENB performance can vary pretty wildly. I really haven't found one I liked that ran well enough overall yet or I'd give you some recommendations. A lot of things like the HD texture pack really don't hurt much at all as long as I'm not using maxed out ranges for the detail fade on objects, grass, etc. Same goes for things like better glaciers, lush grass, better tree details, etc., as long as you keep the view distance reasonable, your PC can probably handle better quality textures. SPERG requires SKSE and SkyUI, so you need to make sure you get everything you need. It's a huge improvement over vanilla though, since things like the skill tree progressions make way more sense and the skills you unlock tend to feel more relevant and useful, instead of just being a requirement for something further up the tree. Lockpicking might be the best example: quote:Automatic perks versus the original tree: quote:Novice Locks - Novice locks are much easier to pick. Every tree has been given that much attention and actually made different character approaches feel viable without necessarily relying on specific trees every time. But yeah, according to the nexus page, importing characters is possible! You might be more interesting in starting over just to experience how different it can make leveling though. Monster mods kinda vary depending on what they're adding or changing, but probably wouldn't hurt your existing game. Just check the information provided on the mods description page to make sure everything is actually compatible. But yeah modding this game is a lot of trial and error, so using something like the NMM or other mod manager that isn't permanently changing your files can be pretty helpful. Also a good idea to get familiar with BOSS and TES5Edit.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3829/ Deadly Dragons is probably what you're looking for. I haven't used it since it got updated to use SkyUI's MCM menu, but the different customization options should let you increase the spawn timer and keep the difficulty manageable.

Raygereio posted:The people who don't know how to make it all work properly and post here aren't an indication of a major flaw in MO. It just indicates MO could probably use some better documentation. Yeah this is pretty much me! I figure when MO is as easy for me to use as NMM or if I need to do a fresh install, I'll make the switch, but for now I've got everything working just fine through NMM. Just doesn't seem worth the effort to change over and at best get the same results I have now while potentially having things stop working correctly going by what's been said in this thread.

cams posted:Am I going to run into any problems legendary-ing a skill with SPERG? You shouldn't. It certainly makes the magic skill trees more manageable, especially thanks to having much more useful perks. I haven't played a melee character with SPERG yet, but the "thief" skill trees level up reasonably too.

Ghostwoods posted:Does this page help? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Whispers_in_the_Dark Yeah if this doesn't do it and Cicero hasn't even shown up yet, you could try hitting up Loreius farm north of Whiterun along the road. That's where you can first run into him, although it shouldn't be necessary, you could see if doing the associated quest gets the DB questline working again. Everything after those first three contracts should start once Cicero shows up with the Night Mother though. So yeah, if he's not -anywhere- you could the setstage console commands for DB03, which should complete Mourning Never Comes and should trigger Whispers in the Dark.

Ernie Muppari posted:There doesn't happen to be a Skyrim mod similar to Nights are Darker for New Vegas does there? I'd love nights that feel more like night, but that aren't so dark that it's impossible to do anything during them. ENB dickery is probably your best bet, as far as I know.

Not that the nexus servers aren't poo poo, but with the seasonal steam sales, Skyrim's been seeing a huge spike in sales, so I'm sure that's not helping at all either. Really wish more mod authors would take advantage of the steam workshop.

Steamworks would be great if the modding community weren't so far up their collective asses that they considered releasing outside of nexus. Although a lot of mods also require a good bit of tweaking to get working together, so NMM and MO have really apparent advantages with stuff like load order.

Smegma Princess X posted:So I have been voluntold into helping my roommate fix her Skyrim game. I don't know a whole lot about troubleshooting this junk, but here's some pics of the mess she's in. The box letters look like special characters or a different language the game isn't recognizing, are the NPCs it's happening to ones from the vanilla game or from a mod? Or are any of the mods she installed non-English mods? Like, maybe she downloaded a spanish or russian or whatever language version of a mod?

Saint Sputnik posted:I've tried every way I can think of to get these texture replacers to "take" and they just won't -- loose files dropped in by hand, Mod Organizer-handled installation and management, nothing, all the NPC clothes still use the lovely 'nilla textures. The game also seems to want to keep reverting back to the vanilla texture for fur armor despite my Amidianborn overhaul and even dropping in the loose files for just that texture. It's only fur I've noticed, might be more, but it's like I notice that it's bad so I end the game and make sure it looks like it's gonna work and boot it back up and it's fine, but the next time I play it's back to the lousy original texture. load order? it sounds like something is overriding the textures you want to use

Dawnguard isn't so bad the first time through really, like yeah the soul cairn kinda blows but it's at least different enough from the rest of the worldspace to make it interesting on that initial trip. The worst part is the lack of a real map or landmarks to help you get through the thing. Which wouldn't be so bad if it was more visually interesting, but yeah that's why it's so terrible on repeat playthroughs. The Forgotten Vale has the same problem after the first time through, that and the sheer amount of falmer and cave systems without feeling like it has any decent save points to stop and do something else. Dragonborn is way better about that stuff since Soltsheim is a closed world separate from the rest of the game with it's own overworld you can easily chart and explore. Getting around it from place to place feels manageable and there's tons of spots that naturally feel like good places to pause your progress.
