Mr. Crow posted:I've never had a problem with loot, it fucks up mods occasionally but you can trivially configure specific mods to load after others. I’ve been experimenting with Skyrim modding for a little bit now and the only mod I’ve really encountered so far that LOOT can’t wrap its head around is RSkyrim Children because of the second ESP in it that needs to go at the very end of your load order otherwise all the kids it alters end up looking like bald potato monsters. LOOT loves to put that one for some dumbfuck reason right in the middle of the load order and I always have to fix it manually.

Raygereio posted:My awkward Skyrim confession is that I like Serana as a companion. You’re not alone. I did Dawnguard after Helgen Reborn, so at the end of the DLC I convinced her to cure herself and then brought her with me and used My Home Is Your Home to plant her in Helgen with all my cool Helgen homies, so now she hangs out there and helps them rebuild the town. Because gently caress those dreary Dawngaurd fucks, Serana’s too good for them.

Like, playing the whole Forgotten Vale segment of Dawnguard with a good ENB is really cool, in all seriousness. I got there in the middle of the night and timed it well enough so that I beat Vyrthur pretty much right at daybreak so my reward was to watch a beautiful sunrise over the mountains from the top of the Shrine of Auriel. The Soul Carin was garbage though. Ghost Horse was cool and all, but I fell victim to that wonderful Bethesda bug where if you pick up even one of the crazy dude's manuscript pages and then leave the Cairn without fully completing his quest, it tears your game apart until you go back and actually finish it. That was sure a load of horse poo poo.

Cat Mattress posted:It just rubs me the wrong way that this mod cannot be activated from the start. It's not that much of a pain. Just have it deactivated in your load order, play through the opening till you clear Riverwood, save and quit, activate it and continue. You're missing out on a drat good mod for a relatively minor inconvenience.

RangerPL posted:How does modded oldrim (with enb) hold up on Windows 10? I remember some anecdotal issues with stability when 10 came out. I recently rebuilt my mod set up from the ground up one by one a few weeks ago. It was dodgy and unstable as poo poo until, ironically, I installed an ENB, at which point it levelled out and I have not had a crash yet running with over 200 rather complex mods. So over all, rather well. Just make sure the ENB is like one of the first things you install.

The Bee posted:Realtalk, I am amazed Beyond Skyrim is a thing that's still happening. But I'm also glad, especially since it seems like the two important parts (Cyrodil and Morrowind) are the ones with pre-release previews. I keep checking in on their site like once a month and they seem to be making steady progress. Illiac Bay seems like it's coming along fairly well too. Hopefully at least one BS mod will be out in full by the end of 2019. Because Bruma is one hell of a tease compared to the total scope of the project.

The Bee posted:That's the weirdest thing. A mod of this scope seems like it should be, like. A back of the napkin scrawling at best. Instead we have steady progress, active updates, consistent releases and preview mods. I don't even think we've seen a single self-destructive rant yet! I think one of the projects (Valenwood, iirc) collapsed and it was just a matter of "It didn't work out with the team we'd put together, when/if we find another team who can work on it, we'll let you know." Really, I just want them to release the HD texture pack for Bruma for Oldrim. The SSE version has the HD textures, but vanilla doesn't so it looks really out of place if you're playing with a bunch of HD mods like Rustic, Noble Skyrim and Book of Silence.

potaties posted:Are there any mods that let you dismiss a housecarl? I was gifted one, but I really prefer to not have some lady in clunky armor wandering around my house. Murdering them seems like going too far - I just want them to go back to whatever they were doing before I was made a Thane. My Home Is Your Home. It lets you assign anywhere in Skyrim as your follower’s “home” so that when you dismiss them, they return to that spot instead of their original or current home point. So just take your housecarl for a little joy ride and say take them to their jarl’s home or just in the middle of the woods and through a few simple dialog clicks you can deposit them wherever and they’ll stay there. Then when you go back to your house, it’ll be nice and empty again.

DrNutt posted:I've never played enough Skyrim to end up with a home + multiple followers but uh, what happens then? Do you just accumulate a collection of followers who hang out together in your house? I got and dismissed Faendral before I had a home and he just went right back to his woodpile. I don’t really know, to be honest. I think housecarls go back to homes in their hold of origin—Lydia goes back to Breezehome in Whiterun, for example, if you dismiss her. But I’ve played the game with mods for so long that I don’t really even know how vanilla Skyrim treats followers. This is why I liked using MHIYH and Helgen Reborn in tandem, because at the end of the quest line you functionally have an entire town that’s yours that you can plot your followers into with MHIYH to mill about it when they’re not out there with you.

Commander Keene posted:Have I been just ridiculously lucky somehow? I've never had a ctd on the PC version of Skyrim, except for times when the game wouldn't even start due to mod conflicts, which were generally fairly easy to resolve. Generally, I’d say yes. I had a really weird time with my latest mod set up where I had to redo my entire install process like three times because it would just crash on a hair trigger. It got to the point where I created a brand new vanilla save and just started loading mods into it one by one outside of Helgen cave to try and manually root out the one that was causing the crashes, and as it turned out the silver bullet that solved everything was installing an ENB. The second I did that it stopped crashing and has been completely stable for going on like 3 months now.

The best way to handle a Daedric quest is tying Boethia's Calling to the Riverwood love triangle. Poison Camilla and Faendal's relationship so that Sven emerges victorious and lets you recruit him as a follower... then drag him away to Boethia's altar as a sacrifice the next day

DrNutt posted:Is there a recommended visual overhaul for NPCs that doesn't just turn every woman in the game into Playboy pinups? It's a bit weird to have these really nice looking followers and player character and then all the other NPCs (and especially the men) still look like dogshit. Depends on what your definition of "pinup" is, but GCE NPCs Replacer has some decent and relatively lore friendly updates on certain key story NPCs. It kinda goes overboard on Serana and a lot of the housecarls, but its overhauls to folks like Ulfric, Tullius, Balgruuf, Lydia, Ralof, Rikke, Hadvar, and Delphine (the lore friendly older version at least) are fairly spot on. It's also modular so you can pick and chose what characters you want to replace if you think a lot of them look too ridiculous. Smooth Faces for Ladies and Gents also cleans up a lot of the cragier folks around Skyrim without turning everyone into teenagers for no reason too.

Iverron posted:Currently making my way through Beyond Skyrim Bruma and while it’s fantastic I’m 150 hours into this run of Skyrim and I’m running out of steam. Have the following mods left to play through installed: Helgen Reborn's a good one to start with because you can follow it's questline from start to finish without really deviating to or from other places, plus you basically get an entire town of your own as a reward for finishing it, so why not do it first? Also if you haven't done it yet I'd recommend adding The Forgotten City to that list. Just beware, if you start TFC it's one of those questlines where there is no way to bail out on it unless you complete it or dive all the way back to a save from before you started it.

Funky Valentine posted:My first time using Static Mesh Improvement, the cart basically rolled on it's side into Helgen. It's never done that since. It's so delightfully hit or miss as to whether or not you'll actually make it into Helgen or not. I actually rode out the rollercoaster once and made it to the the proper start of the game only for everyone in the opening scene to start despawning one by one on me and holy poo poo was that a trip. Another time I tried it and I wound up on the road just standing outside the cart with Ralof, Ulfric, Lokir and the Imperial soldier unable to move as the wagon cartwheeled down the hill without us. I was both sad and relieved when I found the SMIM cart fix mod, not going to lie.

DrNutt posted:That sounds like something I need to get installed. Probably my biggest complaint after installing nearly two hundred mods is that while everything looks really nice, it's still as barren and lifeless as day one Skyrim. If you've got the room for them in your load order here's a few that do a decent job of fleshing out the civilized sectors of Skyrim. Just be careful because a couple of them override one another in certain ways leading to some minor Philadelphia Experiment type poo poo of world objects embedded in one another, so use at your own discretion.
A couple of these should make the world feel a little bigger and more lived in. They're a lot of small things on their own, but they add up to night and day when implemented together.

ThaumPenguin posted:Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is apparently really good, I've got it installed but I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet Bruma’s pretty cool but still fairly tiny as far as worldspaces go. Hopefully Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil will be done some time this year. JK’s Skyrim and Great Cities also do a great job expanding the world. They’re also highly modular so you can create a hodgepodge, especially because there’s certain villages that ETAC covers that JK doesn’t like Shor’s Stone, Karthwasten and Kynesgrove, meanwhile JK has a better take on places like Riverwood and the hold capitals, while Great Cities basically creates a whole city beneath Solitude to explore at sea level and turns Winterhold into a proper city like it’s claimed to be in the game lore.
