Deified Data posted:For those of you that use Ordinator did you find it balanced more towards earning more perk points than the norm via some other perk mod or was it just fine with the one perk per level arrangement? How diverse can your build be before you're spread too thin? Iirc every single skill tree in ordinator has a combat focused perk line. So I've been fine with my one perk point per level as an Alteration/one handed mage, illusion only mage, and a pickpocket. Only issue ive had is my melee only dude when i face necromancers, but that's a base game issue since enemies have infinite mana to backpeddle while you are slowed with no stamina. But boy when i get in there with my sword and board...

Rhjamiz posted:Husky Friend for a Dawnguard Lizard, yes please. None of them stop the Vamp lord from looking and controlling like poo poo though, so idk why they try. At least werewolves get stupid reskins like dalmatian and shark. Industrial Meat Package posted:Is there ever an in-game explanation for why nobody in Skyrim/Tamriel can find the vampire hideout? I mean it looks pretty deserted so everyone probably thinks it's some abandoned castle filled with ghosts and/or bandits so why bother? It doesnt have a port for anything bigger than a tiny boat either so it's of no use to the people that see it. Though it is weird the Vigils never decided to check out the spooky castle. I just want a mod that makes you like the lore vampires, grabbing people from under the ice and stuff instead of big underworld knockoff edgelord with poo poo damage and lovely abilities.

Download them both and see which UI you prefer. They're close enough in functionality that the UI is a bigger difference. Also, how's better vampires? I downloaded Sancrosanct but it feels a little overpowered, especially since Wildcat or w/e is easier than my previous mod(i made the change because the previous combat mod made npc spells even cheaper and I got sick of rapid fire expert level destruction spells.)

That Ignorant Sap posted:I love Better Vampires. Lots of customization. Leave the vanilla feeding gain (stronger when hungrier) or reverse it (stronger post feeding). Activate staggered opponents to bite mid-fight. Feed on bodies, or drain them into blood potions to use later. As you feed you gain experience towards the next vampire strength level, unlocking new abilities like spells, increased jump height. You can set an Easy Progression toggle (less feedings required to advance) in the MCM. Toggle different strengths and weaknesses, such as daylight merely preventing regeneration, to causing damage like in Oblivion. Make health potions not work at all on you, and mortals always fear you requiring the use of the included Mortal's Mask spell to disguise yourself, allowing you to enter populated areas. Lots of features in the mod, check the author's site for details. I'll have to do that, but Royal Bloodline isn't up yet for SE.

Viperix posted:So it's Nth playthrough time again, what are goons' takes on SPERG vs Ordinator? I've been a big fan of SPERG for a while, but Ordinator looks like it has some interesting build potential. Though it also looks like it's a bit... much, which is my main concern. Thoughts? Ive been using ordinator due to SSESE not being out and it coming to SSE before the less fleshed sperg did. From what I remember of Sperg back in the day, it's more natural and rounded. Ordinator really rewards you for focusing on one or two skills. I think it's neat that it has combat paths for every skill though, so even if you do nothing but smithing and alchemy you can still be viable in combat. I will say that if it weren't for wildcat, morrowloot, and the killmove mod, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much because it would quickly trivialize a normal game. If you used nothing but sperg before, it'd be an interesting change of pace for a playthrough at worst. I particularly enjoyed my alteration playthrough in combination with apocalypse. It felt like an actual school of magic instead of just ebonflesh/transmute.

Soonmot posted:Haha, I went all stealth/pickpocket/ lock picking on my new run using ordinator and, while I'm poo poo in a stand up fight, I can clear entire dungeons without being seen and walk out rich af. Just did a legendary reset on stealth and put some points into one handed so I'm not so poo poo when I am spotted. I had a similarly focused build. With just the base 2 in one handed and using the deaths emporer, I could easily clear any non-draugr/falmer dungeon. Which at first was a pain since draugr are pretty ubiquitous and have good loot. But then I started thinking of how killing deathlords is really just a puzzle using the traps in the dungeon. Falmer give poo poo loot so it's not really a problem.

Bob NewSCART posted:So what's the real weigh in for NMM vs MO2? Is MO2 stable enough that it's worth using and being updated frequently enough? Is NMM not absolutely trash anymore? It's been like 2 and a half years since i've modded so i'm coming in almost completely fresh. One other question, I remember there being a mod that let you gently caress around with every single one of the ini settings in a nice easy neat program, skyrim configurator or something? does a version exist for SSE? They're both stable and usable. I think MO2 is a bit more of a pain, but it lets you do more stuff, like play multiple characters with completely different mods. There's really nothing wrong with NMM anymore and it is pretty simple to use, which is why i use it.

Internet Kraken posted:SPERG along with Apocalypse spells has made this game so much more fun. I'm actually really enjoying the combat now as I have a lot of options to work with. Pickpocket is basically the unarmed combat skill now so I can do real damage with my bare fists and see those sweet killcams. This would explain why my pickpocketing went up while I was in Werewolf form wouldn't it?

Like I guess yeah in a really broad usage I'm picking his pocket? Apart. Also Oncatos(?) recital from Apocalypse activates while in Wereform. This gives me Armor, Muffle, and swim speed.

GunnerJ posted:I honestly feel like there are probably some major diminishing returns on it, even given that they have a near monopoly on being a mods host. Like at a certain point, how much do you have to give over to a bunch of unstable crybabies that it becomes an operational problem to keep catering to their demands? Honestly we're well beyond the point where the tables should have turned. If you want people to actually see and play your mod you have 3 options: Bethesda, Nexus, Slab So if you're a modding weirdo like these children and get off on internet fame, you're going to go with the largest of the three, Nexus. Nexus should focus on the consumers that actually butter their bread. And to make it more consumer friendly they need to be more strict in their dealings with the authors.

Eric the Mauve posted:Nah, as much as we'd all like for it to be that way, it's not. Customers want good mods, many of the good mods are made by a bunch of unstable crybabies and if they go to another site they'll inevitably take the customers with them. Those guys get away with being unstable crybabies because they make and give away content tons of people (which = eyeballs which = advertising bucks) want. If Nexus tells Arthmoor to get bent it'll make you and me and a bunch of other people cheer but it will be nothing but bad for Nexus' bottom line. That was true a few years ago. But even if Arthmoor left and took all his mods, what would be the first 1000 google search results for skyrim mods? nexus. Hell, they could even rebrand themselves as a "mod hub" and just link to wherever a mod maker chooses to host. Add in a quality control disclaimer and you're profiting off the mod while slowly killing their downloads. Basically, if Nexus were actually hard core capitalists they could have modders nuts in a vice grip. Children are bad at business.

So, actual question about modding. I was using skse64 for a bit. But after my last reboot it no longer works. The skse64 loader pulls up the skyrim loader instead of the game. I've reinstalled skse, and almost all the threads I've found about this problem are for 32. The one thread I found for 64 about this problem suggests making sure steam is open, it is. I am running the loader/nmm in Administrator mode. They also said a computer restart made it start working, I've restarted 13 times since the issue. Im not too worried since it's still alpha and a lot of skse reliant mods are either not that important or have non-skse versions. But if anyone has suggestions, lemme know.

counterfeitsaint posted:Honestly it's pretty bad. All the major mods released stripped down SKSE-less versions when it came out and moved on. Now SKSE is kinda out but there isn't a lot of interest in going back to update them again. Hope you don't like Frostfall, that mod only stripped some SKSE hooks out, not all, so now it literally won't run properly with SKSE installed, you get to choose between SKSE or Frostfall. Frostfall has always been garbage tho, so ymmv compared to this poster.

Average Bear posted:Is there a mod yet to make the game not a dull boring grey chore OBIS adds a good variety and quantity of bandits, since human enemies are imo the most interesting enemies to fight. Wildcat makes combat not poo poo Ordinator has a combat focused perk line for every skill tree i had lots of fun sneaking and pickpocketing. Steal a bandit camps weapons except the bandit leader, reverse pickpocket a cursed septim onto him and make everyone aggro onto him. Apocalypse adds a lot of fun spells that let you do neat things. Entomb a strong enemy in the earth, cause a lightning orb to follow a mook to their doom, summon a bridge just to gently caress with everyone's pathing. I forget the name of it, but there's a mod that makes illusion spells have no projectile which I liked a lot for an illusion playthrough. Morrowloot alters item power and progression enough to keep you from being an overpowered demigod for at least a few dozen levels. Overall though, the main problem is that the world and quests are pretty fuckin boring. The two main expansions help a little, and there's a few fun quest mods. I've heard good things about Bruma if you want to see Cyrodil again.

I can vouch for the facemasks being broken. I can load the same mod order with the same save file and sometimes they work, sometimes theyjust dont show, and sometimes they have the neon purple missing texture.  Personally though, I like and still use OBIS because between wildcat, morrowloot, and Ordinator they end up being the least HP bloated enemies that are still challenging. Being a good option for a fight from level 1 until I get to the breaking point of levels/skills wherein only Vampire Lord's and Draugr Deathlords pose any threat.

I can see if I can find a link, but when I did an Illusion playthrough I really enjoyed a mod that changed illusions spells to be hitscan instead of projectiles. Also, overall I've found my biggest problem with magic is that with Apocalypse and Ordinator, Alteration is just flat out the best magic skill.
