There's something very satisfying about fighting ghosts whilst unarmed.    Not sure if this is the right place to post these, is there a general thread I should post these in instead?

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:What is your spec and outfit from? The outfit is the Rogue Thief armor from Warmonger's Armory with a cloak and hood from either Cloaks of Skyrim or Winter is coming - Cloaks. I think the backpack is from Sabre Cat Backpack. I'm running this on a rig with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 770, 8GBs of RAM, and an Intel i5-4690 CPU. Also all the other bits you need to make a computer work. I haven't actually invested anything into unarmed, Khajiits are just really good at punching people. At low levels I actually did more damage punching people than by using melee weapons. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Nov 25, 2014 |

Ugh, I think I'll have to give up on the Fire and Ice Overhaul, which is a shame, as I really like about half of it. The part I really like is the fire effects, seeing the fire spread everywhere is really cool, but the ice spikes that pop up everywhere means that it's pretty much impossible to get around, especially when fighting frost dragons. Getting encased in ice is immersive in a very literal way, but it's also really annoying. Also the spikes tend to be floating in midair. They also seem to cause a bit of an fps-drop for me, though that might just be because of the ice retexture mod I'm using, plus ENBs and all that.

LumberingTroll posted:I have a question that is actually about mods. I've heard good things about Ultimate Combat, I'm planning to use it for my next run. The author of that mod has also made A dodging mod and a mod that adds a camera effect when you hit things, which should both be compatible. There's also Violens, which adds more killmoves, and lets you customize a whole bunch of stuff related to them. All of them should be compatible with SPERG, as far as I know. But that's mostly because almost everything works with SPERG.

So I'm trying to merge some plugins from Expanded Towns and Cities, as I have way too many of them lying around (30, Jesus Christ). I've been trying to follow this guide, but it's for an outdated version of Merge Plugins xEdit Script, and I'm not sure which steps are still necessary. I've followed the steps as best I could, but I'm currently stuck at the part where I'm supposed to use the Creation Kit. When I first tried opening the merged file I made, I got the error message "Multiple master files selected for load. Load operation aborted.", and it wouldn't let me continue. I fixed that by following the steps shown here and here, but now I'm getting the error "QUESTS: Could not find previous info (02036A5F) for TopicInfo (0203606) in Topic "" (02017E6A)." I searched around to see if anyone else had a similar error, and apparently it and all the error messages following it are just false positives that I should ignore, but I don't feel all that confident about doing so. Should I?

Midnight Voyager posted:Don't merge all the plugins, by the way. Make sure you have the latest copy of the script and the PROGRAM both. Load all the plugins. Select all of them except for the base plugin. Right click, run script, pick the merge script. It should just work from there. But with that mod, you'll have problems merging them all into the base. I'm running the latest version of both xEdit Scripts and TESVedit, that's one of the main reasons I have issues with the guide, as it's pretty drat outdated. The first merge file I made was for towns and settlements only, minus Dragon bridge South, as it's apparently asocial and really hates being merged, according to the mod author, at least. I planned to make a separate merge file for patches, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I need the Creation Kit as I apparently have to use it for regenerating the "Navigation Mesh Info Map" (NAVI) information, which can apparently be done by opening the plugin in the Creation Kit and then saving it again. The reason I have to regenerate the NAVI information is because the guide explicitly told me to use TESVedit to delete the merged file's original one. I guess it's to make sure that it's cohesive or something? I really have no clue.

I've encountered a few minor bugs where someone in town will go about their sandbox activities like chopping wood one-handed while awkwardly holding a torch in the other but otherwise it seems to be working as intended. It was certainly different to roll into battle with a bunch of mages and have them light up the place with magelight. The latter sounds cool as hell, think I'm going to try it out.

Glad to hear that, seems like everything is working properly then, error messages exluded. The message boxes are also the only part of the CK that has been translated. "Yes to All" gets translated to "Cancel" for several languages. I got the Creation Kit to regenerate the NAVI information, like the guide told me to. Don't think I'll ever know why I had to do that, but at least it should work now.

GunnerJ posted:It has to do with "navmeshes" which are how NPCs know to walk around. I don't fully understand it either, but for mods that add new locations and structures, it becomes an issue when two or more mods use the same space and have to be made compatible with a patch. The patch apparently isn't sufficient to ensure that the navmeshes of the various modded-in locations are compatible, that has to be done in the CK. As I understand it, anyway. That seems to be the core of it, yeah. The only thing I did was loading the merged ETaC file into the CK and then saving, like the instructions told me. After that I checked the file out in TESVEdit, and the NAVI information had been readded, so it seems to have worked. Now to start merging the ETaC patches

You can also just subscribe to the mod, and then download it via opening the Skyrim launcher in MO. It adds all the files directly to the overwrite folder.

For textures, I'd suggest trying out Xenius Character Enhancement, Superior Lore-Friendly Hair - HD textures, XCE - Warpaint and Dirt, High Resolution Scars, MacKoms Real Skin for Men (not a link to a body wash commercial), Coverkhajiits - HD Khajiit face retextures, Hvegelmir's Beard retexture, and one of these brow retextures. For various character-based stuff that may or may not be strictly relevant there's XCE - Scarface, Pumping Iron - Dynamic Muscle Growth, Bowlegged jump animation Fix, 360 Walk and Run Plus, Bald head, Bandit eyepatch. I haven't really found much more than that, because there's a lot of stuff to dig through, and frankly I'm not sure I'd want to know what I'd find if I did so.

scamtank posted:Some random starts of Skyrim Unbound can be just as absurd. My current guy started out as some sort of a shipwreck survivor, next to a fire in a crude lean-to stuck on a small island in the Sea of Ghosts, a straight shot north from Saarthal, wearing nothing but bare Imperial clinky-steel that doesn't retain any heat whatsoever. I had a similar experience with Frostfall and Alternate Start - Live Another Life. Started as a Khajiit on a sunken ship in the Sea of Ghosts, swam inland to an ice cavern and then immediately started suplexing ghosts.

Blimpkin posted:I don't mind starting over, as I've barely even begun at this point, I just don't want to load to a CTD or something. I'll apply the patches after the DLC but before the HiRes. Agents are GO! posted:Don't forget the unofficial hires patch! I've noticed that LOOT likes to sort the unofficial patches directly after their corresponding mods, so the plugins end up alternating between them (DLC1 - UnoPatch1 - DLC2 - UnoPatch2 etc). Is there any benefit or detriment to doing this over loading the DLCs first and then the patches in separate batches (DLC1 - DLC2 - UnoPatch1 - UnoPatch 2), or does it not matter in the slightest as long as the patch is loaded shortly after their required plugin? I've assumed that it's the latter, I just wanted to make sure . All that said, I'm guessing that LOOT simply sorts them that way because it's programmed to sort the patches as high up in the load order as possible, is that right?

How useful is the Unofficial SPERG compatibility patch for Immersive Armors these days? It hasn't been updated for IAv8 and it seems like Immersive Armors now has "Updated integrated compatibility", though I have no idea how much that affects SPERG, as I'm not getting much out of TES5Edit.

In Mod Organizer, is it generally a good idea to say yes to unpacking .BSAs when prompted, as long as the mod page doesn't explicitly tell you not to? I've read arguments both for and against doing so, so I'm not all that sure what I should be doing. Weirdly enough I've both heard claims that: 1. Unpacking .BSAs will lessen load times because with .BSAs the game has to load the entire BSA no matter whether all the files in it are used or not. However, with loose files, the game only has to load in the files that haven't gotten overwritten by another mod further down your load order. 2. Unpacking .BSAs will increase load times because loose files take up more space, or something in that vein.

Nerd Of Prey posted:Totally agreed on this. I thought Holds looked interesting at first, but after looking at screenshots/videos I was really put off by the lack of architectural details or even interesting clutter in the new cities. The blocky buildings look horrible. It's no good for towns to be bigger just for the sake of being bigger, when they just look lovely. Expanded Towns and Cities really does it right. The only downside is that you need like 6 plugins for it. I suppose you could merge the patches to keep the plugin count low-ish, but I'd imagine that would be a bit of a pain to deal with, especially whenever updates came out and such. Then there are all the incompatible mods that should have a patch, but doesn't actually have one. And you don't necessarily know which mods that is. Yeah, I can see why you decided to skip it.

poptart_fairy posted:I swear I've asked this before, but how do you make a completely clean installation of Skyrim? I haven't played for a long, long time but my save files are utterly hosed. Figured I'd just burn everything and start completely fresh rather than trying to retrace my steps - there's even a bunch of texture and lighting mods installed that don't appear in the Curse client, further muddying things. Depends on how far you want to take it. What I'd suggest is to uninstall the game normally, delete everything in \steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\ and then do the same thing in \[USER]\Documents\Skyrim. That should get rid of native Skyrim completely, as well as get rid of every modded file that's been thrown into the actual Skyrim folders. You'll also probably want to uninstall your mod managers and clear out their folders, especially if you use Mod Organizer, as all the mods associated with it are stored in its own folders, rather than in Skyrim. If you want to take it even further, you could uninstall the game via a program like Revo Uninstaller, which will let you remove everything directly associated with the game, all the way down to registry edits, if you so choose. Mind that messing with the registry can lead to Bad Things happening, so be careful about that. Of course, if you want to use Revo Uninstaller, then you'll need to let it do its thing before you follow any of the other suggestions I wrote.
