It's definitely something from my load order, because running vanilla + enb (basically base MO profile) doesn't exhibit the issue. It's weird as gently caress.

Disable half your mods and see if it still happens, use process of elimination from there.

If you're on SPecial Edition, I don't think anybody else has ported them to SE, but I made a combined version for SE.

Is there a mod to skip through all the dialog and poo poo when you first meet the greybeards? I find that more annoying on repeated playthroughs then going up the 7,000 steps (plus you could always coc straight to the top anyways).

As much as I steer right the gently caress away from them sex mods are unironically a big part of the modding scene.

But yeah people who like their characters getting raped ~~might be~~ are certainly a bit hosed in the head.

They're an important part too, because they probably spend more time than anyone on messing around with animations and scripting so they know a lot. Plus Better Bodies for Morrowind absolutely wouldn't exist without them. I just saw that Sloff is still uploading stuff to the Nexus as recent as November.

I like that "brutally dismember humanoid enemies in fountain of gore" is somehow supposed to be less disturbing and more acceptable than "make boobs jiggle".

That's pretty consistent with the rest of American media. There's an episode of Hannibal with a naked corpse and the network said you could see too much buttcrack so they digitally added more blood. There's another episode where you see a guy cut off and eat pieces of his own face, but no, can't show butt crack, we'll get angry letters if someone's kid happens to see that.

Yeah, you can actually make a .txt file with all the console commands to give yourself the words and souls you want and skip to the next stage in the main quest... y'know what, gently caress it. Here you go:
code:
player.teachword 13f39
player.teachword 2f7be
player.modav DragonSouls 2
setstage mq105 140
Paste that into a .txt file, call it skiptraining.txt (or whatever) and put it in your Skyrim\Data folder. As soon as The Way of the Voice starts, run
code:
bat skiptraining
in the console. Now when you arrive at High Hrothgar all you have to do is head to the courtyard and talk to Arngeir who will give the end of his spiel and send you off to Ustengrav. You'll have to go into the usual menu to use dragon souls to learn the shouts.

(Haven't tested this yet but unless I hosed up any of the values I'm 97% sure it will work. Make a fresh save first of course.)

Oh god, that's everything I've ever wanted. Are the codes the same for oldrim and SE?

Nightblade was always my favourite class in Morrowind and Oblivion, and even when I made a custom class to minmax the starting attributes or efficient leveling I'd end up with something very similar to one. I've gone out of my way in Skyrim to avoid the stealth playstyle in the past, opting instead for either 2H or 1H/shield. But I'm up for giving it a shot this time around. What is the suggested build for a Nightblade-style character, and what mods might I want to really showoff and augment the playstyle?

Apocalypse spells goes well with an illusion focus.

Enderal is on Steam now. You need Oldrim installed when you install it (it uses a lot of textures nd models and legally can't include them in it's download), but can uninstall afterwords. I'm probably going to wait a day or two to make sure a couple mods work (specifically the mod that lets you wait anywhere. Enderal only lets you heal by resting in a bed or eating food, which is fine, but it also doesn't let you wait without healing, which is annoying when you just want to visit a store and it's late at night).

Yeah,if you are giving access in exchange for donations that's basically charging for a mod. I assumed they had a patreon but it didn't give you early access to the mod or anything, just, like, a special chat room or something.

Might be beyond the scope of what you're looking for, but either Ordinator or SPERG make the perk system better by making perks more interesting instead of needing to use half your perks on boring "does slightly more damage" or "sneaking works slightly better" perks.

Oh, and one of the map mods that shows roads.

Is there any way to make SkyUI not make the menu always open on 'Quests'? I've finally managed to tinker it to a good place but for some reason it removes the vanilla game's Quests/General Stats/System menu memory.

I'm, uh, using a controller
I'm using SkyUI in conjunction with Hide SkyUI (I checked that it is exclusively SkyUI causing this issue, though) because I like MCM and the buff HUD, but I just can't get comfortable playing Skyrim with KB+M. From what I can understand it seems to have bound Start to Quests rather than Menu but I can't figure out how to change or subvert that in any way. The in-game options don't help/aren't relevant and there doesn't seem to be any sort of .ini for SkyUI.

No idea then. Maybe see if you can configured it in the base Skyrim.ini? Do you know if it was working properly without skyui?

These are good suggestions thanks. I do have the SE edition, so I�ll start by looking for mods compatible with it.

the nexus sites are different if you're running SE or Oldrim, so as long as the first bit of the url is https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition you're fine, and the most popular mods that exist for both usually have a link to the special edition if you end up on the wrong one.

(I remember when it was just the elder scrolls nexus and both morrowind and oblivion mods were mixed together there).

I would honestly recommend playing a bit without any mods first, just to get a feel for what you want to change. Like, Apocalypse Magic is almost mandatory if you're going to be a mage character, but pointless if you aren't going to cast anything besides a couple buffs for your sword and boarder.

Yeah, that's probably it, I got the original game in 2012 and all the DLC on the same day in 2014 (so I'm guessing there was a three-in-one pack or something?).

If you don't have the expansions you should probably plunk down for the SE anyways, most of the big mods require the expansions

I'm a vanilla person and unless I have to fix something in the game I generally don't install mods. I had literally 0 problems with oldrim on my old rig. It's all this new-fangled hardware messing things up

This would've been an exception to the lazy no-modding rule because I didn't really want to pay again for a game I already bought just to get some loving god rays.

Anyway, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm missing every DLC except Hearthfire I'd probably put more time into "fixing" the old version, but if there's a greater chance of official support (or at least better compatibility) for SE I'd rather buy that.

The Dragonborn DLC is cool and good, the main plot of Dawnguard is whatever, but it adds cool things.

So, when I'm using skyrim uncapper with Mod Organizer 2, does the uncapper profile need to be "c:\...\Skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins" or "c:\...\ModOrganizer\SkyrimLE\mods\Skyrim -Community- Uncapper\SKSE\Plugins"

I have a two games right now, one using SPERG and the other using Ordinator so I need to switch the perk gain rate when I switch profiles and I've been changing it in both paths because I wasn't sure but it's kinda annoying.

The latter.

Also if you need two different perk gain rates, I'd suggest installing another instance of the Uncapper (name the install something like "Uncapper [PROFILENAME]") and exclusively using that one for the second profile (keep it disabled on the first profile). That way you won't have to change the perk gain rate each time

Thanks, and thanks, that's a great idea.

Enaison's other mods are good. Wintersun adds a religion mechanic, Andromeda changes up the Standing Stones, Imperious changes how the races work. Those are all fairly light, his other ones are a bit heavier handed.

Andromeda is pretty cool. One of the first stones I found was The Ritual, which (spoiler just in case you want to find out for yourself) absorbs the souls of dead bodies I encounter and summons them during the next fight. Hopefully the others are that interesting.
