Cat Mattress posted:What a weird formula. Not sure if it prioritize left-to-right or right-to-left, but either way: (X/X)*2 will always be 2, and X/(X*2) will always be 0.5. So what's the point of bringing in X in the first place? It's not X divided by X*2, it's X for rank 1, 2X for rank 2.

I went Stormcloak the first time because of the intro stuff. And I never really pegged the entirety of the Stormcloaks as racists, being that they were ok with my Redguard character. You can also find random non-nord NPCs travelling to Windhelm to join up. Yeah, the citizens of Windhelm are lovely, but I didn't really see the Stormcloaks in the same light. Ulfric's also a huge jerk, but he's not the huge jerk that tried to execute me. Then they replaced Balgruuf as jarl of Whiterun with some rear end in a top hat, and that soured me on them since.

I guess another reason I was pro-stormcloak my first game was that it was my first TES game. I got into the game completely blind, not know anything about the series. It's a pretty common theme elsewhere that Empires = bad, Rebels = good, so I had that stereotype before the cart ride even started. Looking bad now it's pretty obvious the Empire ultimately has the better chance of winning against the Thalmor, and that banning Talos worship is just a temporary measure to placate the Thalmor before round two starts.

KakerMix posted:*frantically hides sexlab from installation before posting load order asking for help* It's ok. It's part of immersion. I actually think the stormcloaks would be better if they weren't racist. If they were legitimate rebels trying to free the entirety of skyrim - nords, elves and all - from the empire they view as weak for bending to the thalmor, they'd be a more sympathetic faction. They'd have more support and that would fall into the thalmor's plans of destabilizing the empire.

Svanja posted:For Skyrim SE, is anyone using Immersive Armors? I noticed in the mod's postings that the author is saying to not use the spell menu mechanic (seems using it a second time is crashing some people's games), so I'm a bit nervous about adding in the mod. Just checking to see other people's opinions on it! I'm using Immersive Armours on SSE, but I've never bothered to go into the spell to configure anything. I'm not noticing any problems.

Are there any good mods that make money management more of a thing? My usual game goes: get to whiterun and buy some gear upgrades. Do a couple quests and buy/upgrade the house. Do any random dungeon and have more money than ever needed again. I'm trying to play a more thieving based character, and it's entirely pointless because money's such a non-issue so quickly. I use realistic needs/frostfall so I have to pay for the occasional room and food, but beyond that I have no costs.

You're right. I ran into a similar issue though, because I started and configured all my mods in the starting cell for Live Another Life, so I could make a starting save that's ready to go for any other mod additions. If you do that and start the default start, you'll start freezing on the cart.

With mod organizer you can also create a new profile, copy mod and saves over, and turn on the profile specific saves (a couple checkboxes) and then install Bruma on the new profile. It should keep the saves and mod settings segregated, so you shouldn't be able to delete you old clean save.

Bitter fly posted:Does anyone know how to edit warmth values of items in the creation kit? Been making my own custom mage robes and can't figure it out If you're using Frostfall, there's an MCM option to examine your currently equipped gear. From there you can change the warmth and coverage settings of that item. Doesn't really help if you're trying to release the robes to the public, but at least can get you a last resort for a personal playthrough.

I've removed plenty of mods mid-save without incident. There's no guarantee it will break anything, but there's no guarantee it will work. Just make a backup save and see what happens.

Are there any SSE mods that make the following changes? Lower carry weights. Add weights to arrows/lockpicks/etc. Make equipped armour weigh nothing.

On Magicchat, I really like Elemental Destruction Magic with the ordinator patch. All it does is add earth, water, and wind spells at each tier, but they're super fun. In general earth spells have a low knockdown chance, wind has a knockback chance, and I think water stops all regen for a time. They just a bit of variety to destruction magic, and they're simple enough to not go into spell overload.

Freakbox posted:Hi There! I have an original Skyrim (not SE) modding question, and I hope it hasn't been overly asked and/or isn't going against the op. Back when I ran frostfall on skyrim it would apply average coverage and warmth on all equipment that wasn't configured for it. You could then customize each piece in the mcm, and it could take in account if it had a built in cloak or hood.

The only times I've had a crash like that was when a mod was using a BSA, or I was loading a BSA, that wasn't compatible with the current version. Since you've reinstalled that's probably not the problem. I assume you've checked the file integrity in Steam?

MO2 is basically the same as regular Skyrim + MO. There are a few weapon packs that work, and they add a nice bunch of stuff. I think I'm using the Skyrim SE Expanded Skyrim Weaponry mod. Immersive Armours is a good pack for the armour side of things as well. Immersive creatures adds a loving ton of stuff all over the map, some of which will just kill you at low levels. I like it. I don't know how lore friendly it is, but nothing I've ran into stood out as some anime self insert or anything dumb like that. I've heard some negative things about it but I like the variety.

Bigger ones should be first, with anything that's more specific after. If you have an overhaul that does all the trees, you want that overwritten by the one that only does pine trees, for example. Not the other way around. If the smaller one came first, the big one would overwrite all the changes and make it pointless.

I'd 100% go to SSE. There are only a handful of mods I can't get working 100%, either through an SSE port, or just running the vanilla version with the BSAs extracted. They do take a little more work though. Unless your gameplay absolutely hinges on some dll that SKSE can't run properly yet, I'd say go SSE.

I've never gotten Frostfall coverage working properly in SE. The best I ever got took an SE installation, and a bunch of core files pulled over Legendary edition.

Newbie modding question - I'm trying to patch together some stuff to make some mods work together more friendly. Basically I need to add entries from multiple mods (hunterborn, realistic needs) to another mod's (simply tame) existing formlist. My idea is to create a patch.esp, add hunterborn and realistic needs as dependencies (using SEedit), create a duplicate formlist in my file, and add all the entries from the other two mods. Load the patch after all the other ones. To me that seems logical, but it doesn't quite seem to be working for me. I think my problem is just getting all the item IDs sorted and using the right ones, but I might be way off the mark.

Raygereio posted:Start up SEdit and load all the necessary plugins. Thanks. This pretty much set me on the right direction. I couldn't find a way to add the entries (I could only edit existing ones) to the formlist in xEdit, so I had to use the creation kit. After saving, the creation kit removed all the esp masters, so I had to go back into xEdit to readd them. This messed up all the formlist entries since it didn't know what master to find them in, so I had to manually fix each one. Anyways, it's working now.
