Gonna plug a few of my (IMO) better mods here for inclusion in the OP:

Breezehome Basement 3x2 <- A basement addition for Breezehome. Pretty basic e.g. doesn't include full-out blacksmithing workstation or smelter - being underground, no hot tub, underground greenhouse, sex dungeon, etc. Also no quest you just buy it from the steward like everything else. I made this because I couldn't find a single Breezehome addition that didn't suck. Includes enchanting station, two chests, two mannequins, two bookshelves, one weapon rack, a chair, a rug. That's it.

On the subject of player homes, for some reason I'm just one of those people that doesn't really care much about them. All I do is usually find a single chest and store everything in it that I don't sell for whatever reason. I'll also buy upgrades to the home if they add useful things like an enchanting table. But other than that, I don't bother with decoration or anything else really.

I'd be pretty satisfied with a Bag of Infinite Holding. Maybe I should search for a mod for that. Perhaps there is one that isn't a buggy piece of trash.

My game seems to to be crashing repeatedly when heading northwest from Falkreath. Twice it happened when opening my favorites menu, the other few times it happened randomly just when walking towards the road. Does anyone know of any popular mods that might cause issues in the area?

SPERG seems really promising. I think I'll need to start a new game soon enough to check it out.

I love the idea of perks that allow a skill to be used in different ways with other skills.

SPERG is loving awesome, and you should get it immediately. I played a shitload of vanilla at launch and SPERG makes the game at least 2x as fun just by itself.

My current character is level 52. It's a bit late for me to dump in something like that. I will try it with my next character. And this time I'll actually use the illusion school for once.

I'm looking through my list to see what mods I can recommend, and one that's not in the OP yet is the Excellent Racials Package. Basically triples all the powers/abilities that each race gets, making them all much more interesting and unique. None of them have felt terribly overpowered to me as of yet, but I'm only running two characters right now, an Orc and an Argonian.

I took a look at the description. Seems pretty interesting. How often do NPCs use their racial abilities?

If you've played a Skyrim character past level 10 or so, you will have experienced the things that SPERG changes for the better.

Boo dumbass "+10% damage with thing, rank 1/5" stuff that encourages maxing out single trees, yay unique effects and benefits that play in tandem with other skills.

Yes, discovering the fortification perk for Alchemy that actually makes leather and fur armor useful is magical experience for me. How useful is this for armor at higher levels of both alchemy and light armor skills?

This is also the first game that I've really tried using alchemy and it seems to level up rather slowly. :ohdear:

I have a question about SPERG as it relates to Character Creation Overhaul.

CCO lets you chose or make classes with major skills and a specialization like in Morrowind. All skills start by default at level 5 instead of level 15, and then the class data is added to that. This means that your chosen major skills will be at least level 25 if you have no racial or specialization bonus, or a maximum of 40 if its a major skill, a specialization skill, and the single skill your race has a +10 bonus in (the other five are +5). On top of this, if it gives a +5 or +20 bonus then it also increases the leveling rate by 5% or 20% respectively.

Now that I've clarified that, my question about SPERG is how will that impact the balance of the game if you're already starting with apprentice level perks for your six major skills at level 1? Does SPERG perhaps not expect that at the early level or something? For reference, as a Khajit Rogue I started the game with: Block 30, One Handed 35, Illusion 25, Alchemy 30, Light Armor 25, Speech 25.

Also, my question about the excellent racials mod still remains? How often to NPCs use racial abilities. Since their lives are measured in seconds :v:

, I don't want them spamming them all at once at me.

Just started a new game using SPERG and I have a couple of questions: I seem to gain Conjuration experience constantly despite not knowing any conjuration spells, is that normal? Also, I can't seem to get Uncapper to work at all. I've tried adjusting the files in MO, tried unpacking and editing the ini manually and then loading it in MO, and I've tried just removing it from MO entirely and sticking it directly into my data folder. I always get the little popup screen that says Uncapper has loaded when I start up the game but as far as I can tell it isn't doing anything. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Make sure the uncapper INI file you want to use is in the same directory as the DLL. If you're using Mod Organizer this won't be the case. I moved the DLL and INI files to the overwrite directory to fix it for me.

Diet Lime posted:

I was able to work around my issues, but I still have that question about the uncapper. It's working, it displays a splash just before my game starts. I'm still just getting 10 pts/lvl and 1 perk per level, unless I'm apeshit and haven't played long enough for it to work.

Maybe my save is stuck and I need to restart anew to get the changes?

Edit: I think I might be chasing a ghost here and it's working as intended but I just didn't know what to expect. As a long-time fan of modding Oblivion and Morrowind (I argue TC's of Oblivion like OOO can compete with Skyrim feature for feature) I'm surprised it's all actually working, honestly.

One weird thing is that I have More Hotkeys hitting B to open the t-menu, but doing so causes the t-menu to open each time you close anything with B. I was able to workaround this by making my t-menu a press to hold. So far it's shaping up to be more like the game I wanted it to be originally, and SPERG looks great.

I just wish there was some convenient way to verify that the uncapper rates have been correctly modified / or some way to have that feature included in the base package.

If you're getting one perk per level then it's not working as intended and you should try what I suggested then fix your save with the console to remove any extra perks and correct your stats. You get some additional carry weight on level up so be sure to add that to your character too based on what stats you chose.

Tried updating Mod Organizer from 0.12.9 to 1.0.0 RC 1. Getting consistent crashes on startup. Even tried the 0.99 versions and 0.99.1 worked but 0.99.4 and up crashed for me.

I've downgraded back to 0.12.9 and I'm not going to mess with it at this point.

This is what happens when you start piling on features and load two different versions of the C++ runtime at the same time. :colbert:

I'm pretty angry about this.

Edit: I decided to try one last thing before giving up and did a fresh install of 1.0.0 into a different directory, and even that failed to start up without crashing. What the hell did this guy do. :argh:

So I'm looking at the readme for the Flora Respawn fix...

quote:

Q: Will this mod fix stuff I've already harvested?
A: YES, but you have to help it do that a bit. When you reenter an area and you see that everything has respawned, HARVEST IT ALL WITHOUT RELOADING A SAVE. Only when you're sure you've gotten everything will it be safe to save your game and exit. The script that fixes things won't kick off until you harvest the item, so if you save and reload before that, Skyrim.exe is going to forget it respawned.

How the hell am I supposed to remember all of the hundreds of things I harvested already? :psyboom:

It implies it will break if I don't.

Am I just misunderstanding this or what?

So I finally got MO running, but whenever I try to download something from the Nexus, it gives me two errors in a row:

"failed to connect to running instance: QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Access denied"
and
"failed to write to C:/Program Files(x86)/ModOrganizer/logs/mo_interface.log: Access is denied"

Does anyone know what the problem could be? MO is giving me so much trouble but it looks so much better than NMM

You have it installed to Program Files, but it needs to be able to write to its own directory. You either need to run the program as administrator or give your user modify permissions for the ModOrganizer folder (I recommend this). That explains the second error message but not the first, but it could be related if its trying to save Nexus settings to disk but is unable to or something. The other possibility with that is that your firewall is preventing it from connecting to Nexus.

Also, still hoping someone could clarify about the Flora Respawn Fix mod and how it behaves for an existing game where you've stripped half of Skyrim of ingredients. :ohdear:

Ran it as an administrator and disabled my firewall, I'm still getting both errors.

I have no clue, then. What version are you running? 0.12.9 worked fine for me. Upgrading to 1.0.0 gave me constant crashes on startup.

Edit: As I was writing this post I actually tried to investigate one last time why I was crashing, and I found that deleting pyCfg.py in the plugins folder allowed me to startup just fine. I can only assume that it's conflicting with whatever installation of Python I already have. As a matter of fact I can't even see where it is selecting what version of Python to run. I need to email this guy.

Edit 2: Well I installed the latest 32-bit version of Python 2.7 and its working. I previously had an earlier version of Stackless Python 2.7 which is binary compatible and should not have caused issues. I'm not going to bother thinking on it.

Are you sure? I don't believe DUEL is script heavy. I uninstalled it in favor of Deadly Combat for one of my saves and had no issue.

Though, as I recall, I did leave the script files in the directory even though the mod was disabled, maybe that had something to do with it.

chaosapiant posted:

For those that have removed script heavy mods and are worried about save game issues, always run this command in the console: "clearinvalidregistrations"

This was introduced in Skse a few version back and purges your save/game of any running scripts whose respective mods have been removed. It may help alleveiate future save game bloat and instability.

May the script extender team continue to be a shining ray of light for the community for generations to come.

I've used it for months as soon as I discovered it. I've only ever had two problems with it. The first being getting the uncapper to use the SPERG ini file, and secondly the 1.0.0 update with Python crashing on me.

I simply load the uncapper before SPERG so that SPERG is overwritting the proper files in the Uncapper. It's just that easy?

No, actually that didn't work for me (at least with 0.12.9). I had put the SPERG INI in the same folder as the Uncapper DLL for it to use it instead of the default Uncapper INI.

I've since upgraded to the latest version of Mod Organizer and haven't checked to see if that was fixed.

It's very close to vanilla Skyrim in tone and quality but the content is a bit sparse for the map size.

It has one of the longest unending dungeons ever. In the middle of it, the thought hit me that the scariest thing would be a friendly voice out of nowhere going "How's it going?" The mod could have used that kind of imagination. Instead t was "Here's more drauger, isn't this epic?" If you are going to do something on this scale, bring some variety. Instead the mod is just more and more and more of vanilla Skyrim.

There are a good number of bugs which is hilarious because the Mod creator announced loudly that there wouldn't be any bugs to find.

I did like some of the discussion sequences mainly because I hadn't see it done that way before. It was fun to kick around.

I read an interview done with the author of Falskaar. He said that the content is all focused around the quest because he knew he would never finish if he tried to add side content. This makes sense to mee considering how many people have "great ideas" which end up sputtering out into nothing (e.g. True Lichdom).

But when you look at how the thing works and if you know how other tools work, it turns out MO breaks a lot of assumptions that those tools make to do what they do, and as a result using MO makes it a lot more difficult to use those other tools unless MO explicitly supports them.

What tools don't work with MO exactly? Your statement makes me believe you don't realize that tools like TES5Edit, SkyProc ASIS, BOSS, etc. all work fine if you simply launch them from Mod Organizer in which case they will detect the final file structure that MO is presenting to Skyrim.

I can understand if using MO just isn't to your liking, but if that opinion is based on false information then I'd like to try to correct that. I don't mean to come off as pushy.

As a rule, I never install games in Program Files. It's a good place for office software and such. For games, it's always going to be a hassle if you want to mod.

I simply edit the security permissions on folders as necessary for games where I need to mess with the files often. I've always thought its better for people to be aware of things like that as opposed to avoiding them by doing things like disabling UAC.

Anyone have some opinions on the Resplendent Racials package? Does it seem well balanced? I know I found one overpowered combination while using the Aurora Doomstone package with it. Being Argonian and having the Atronach sign gives you virtually infinite magicka due to the Histborn magicka regeneration combined with the low cost of spells from the Atronach sign.

I've looked for a mod like that for a while, with no luck. It's one of the few things that I'm not sure if the engine even allows, since I've not seen it done. I think I even went so far as to enchant an item on a different character and try to copy the item ID to import into another game and it didn't seem to work.

Also, silent unarmed mod... never found one, don't know why it doesn't seem to exist.

SKSE should have made that possible. I believe I remember reading about one for Oblivion that let you put an item in one container and transfer the enchantment on it to the item in the other container.

LtSmash posted:

Player made enchants are not currently possible, but are slated for the next SKSE release. If its a pre-enchanted item that's doable, but only for base items at the moment. You could give every greybeard robe the mage robe enchant but not restrict it to only the copy of the robe you currently have. I think the next SKSE will change that too but I'm less certain.

If you are happy with changing the base item's enchantment I could whip that up in like 15 minutes tomorrow. Alternately its easy to make a new mod with a duplicate armor with the new enchant using the ck/tesEdit.

It isn't a problem for player-made enchantments since you could just make the enchantment yourself again on the new item. Also, changing the base isn't cool either, so I'm not interested in that.

I'd prefer a way to only deal with the enchantment on particular instances of an item. Though I believe Oblivion solved this problem by creating a clone of the item base for your save and then messing with the enchantment on that so it wouldn't affect other things. Is this working with SKSE?

The Atronach stone using that Aurora Doomstone package seems really overpowered. I have yet to run out of magicka in a fight. In between fights I can just use the lesser power to refill my magicka at the expense of health and then just use the basic healing spell which leaves me with full health and 95-97% magicka.

When I used the ritual stone I found that the passive ability wasn't much use because the raised minions didn't stay around long enough to be useful in the next fight. I'm not one to rush through dungeons and miss loot so it isn't a good fit. At this point I think I'll stick with Resplendent Racials and just not use this.

They're not meant to. A SPERG-modified Bear Armor spell would completely break the point of Frostfall.

I wasn't suggesting that they work just like the normal armor spells in SPERG, only they work as if you had the level 3 vanilla Mage Armor perk.

Edit: After some research and frustration, I discovered that I can set some global variables to 1 in the console to make Frostfall think I have the vanilla mage armor perks. Setting _DE_ArmorPerk1Active, _DE_ArmorPerk2Active, and _DE_ArmorPerk3Active to 1 in the console will make things work.

Does anyone have any reviews of the Character Creation Overhaul mod?

I like how it makes skill leveling more like Morrowind or Oblivion where your major skills start at decent levels. But, when combined with SPERG, it seems unbalancing since at level 1 you're already anywhere from 25-40 when it comes to major skills. Combine this with apocalypse spell pack and scaled damage spells, and you're doing a good job of steamrolling people. I'm not sure if I just want to raise the difficulty level to Legendary, or remove CCO and recalculate my skills and such to what they would be at my current level normally.

Opinions on the new spells?

It seems like the author has eliminated a load of spells he felt were available in other mods and then... did... things. For someone like me that doesn't use the other mods in question I would lose most of the spells I got Apoc for in the first place, and the rest of the changes make no sense to me.

I don't want a bunch of mods that add different spells, I want one mod that adds a set of spells that are balanced and work well together.
