Funky See Funky Do posted:I'm beginning to think the person that recommended just getting a Noble Skyrim or another big texture pack was right. I'm up to N, at least 142 mods and I'm half done. Still - I've come this far! Only 113 to go! Before you start merging them.

GunnerJ posted:I've been thinking about reorganizing the OP to have up-front a more detailed set of "before you mod" best practices and then have the list followed by a "last steps" section mirroring it: setting your load order, making patches, that sort of thing. Alternately, "before you mod" would be a kind of start-to-finish set of instructions with "get mods (see below)" in the middle. A lot of this is implicit in the description of tools or tucked away in more technical discussion as it stands and I think it would head off some frequent issues to have this stuff more prominent. I'd probably have to shove "Minor Overhauls" over to the second post to make room but that's whatever. Thoughts? I think it would help readability. A checklist covering all of the usual things may be helpful as well. I posted "Modding Skyrim in a Billion Easy Steps" a few months ago. I can dig it out if you thihk it would be something people would use.

You can edit the .bat file to pick which texture you want out of the base set. It essentially starts with everything, and then selects what the author thinks works best into a set of texture replacements for most textures in the game.

Not on my main laptop at the moment. The entire SMC used to work as a simple Windows batch file that just moved files out of the /input directory and put them into the /output directory, and from there would ZIP or otherwise package it up neatly for the /data folder. I may be dating myself: look for a .cmd file.

Raygereio posted:Probably the biggest problem for the SKSE update will be the move from 32-bit to 64-bit. Now, this is in essence a good thing as it allows the game to utilize more memory and can give a performance boost. Is it really starting the whole thing from scratch, or just the address mapping? Or is the address mapping 90% of the work or something?

Is it at all feasible to implement SPERG without requiring SKSE? I hope this is not a dumb question (but it probably is.)

GunnerJ posted:The patches are an interesting case though because that's not just Arthmoor. There's a whole team, isn't there? You mean, like compatibility discussions. "My mod is fully compatible with 'that common patch'." It will be like advertisers avoiding the term "Super Bowl" and referring to it as "The Big Game."

Smol posted:Wait Arthmoor voice acted the dragon himself? Yes. Even worse, he posted it on the Internet. Now it will never truly die. In better news, the above mention about NPC count made me think: ASIS is going to be absolutely nuts in SE when/if it ever gets working. I'm going full Magnificent Seven as soon as the mod scene is somewhat stable.

Killsion posted:Does this mean NMM also now does the thing MO did where it wouldn't actually replace anything? Not yet. They're creating a new mod manager from scratch, and everyone assumes that means using a virtual file system. Arthmoor will continue to cry into his goblet of Mountain Dew and use Weyrauch Bash, I'm sure.

Is there any indication when tools like ASIS and Automatic Variants will be ready to work with SE? Same question for aMidianBorn stuff.

Agents are GO! posted:No idea about the patchers, you'd have to ask LtSmash (I think at least ASIS requires SKSE) but amidianborn works now, I'm using it. Thanks for the response. I think I may try mostly-unmodded playthrough (i.e. USLEEP and a couple others), and come back to modding after things like ASIS and AV are up and running. I would love it if someone made an Automatic Variants for armor and weapons.

The Iron Rose posted:I mean even if it worked fine, which it might in SSE, it's still a colossally dumb idea to install anything off of Beth.net instead of through the Nexus. You really want to have everything managed by a mod manager, especially if anything you're doing involves texture or mesh replacements. I like how with MO you could deselect individual files if you wanted to.

Immersive Armors uses SkyUI, which needs SKSE. I'm guessing it may be a little while for that one.

no bones about it posted:Nah the latest Nexus mod manager uses virtual profiles for mod installation, it actually works as well as MO nowadays. Its way the gently caress better than it was back in 2012. I think the profiles are virtual, but the file management is not. Thus, if you switch profiles it needs to delete and re-copy lots of data, versus just moving pointers around. I.e. it's much, much slower when changing profiles, and changing mod order.

Any chance Skyrim Unbound will get ported to SE? I know Live Another Life is a thing, but I liked Skyrim Unbound's ability to start a character at ground zero with no spells, etc.

Now all we need is Mod Organizer, SPERG, and the various SkyProc patchers. Though I wonder: Didn't SkyProc just create an ESP file? If so, could we import that ESPN file and save it in the new construction set?

KakerMix posted:Yeah I know SKSE isn't a thing for SSE yet but ASIS doesn't require it. Certain other things like Everybody's Different do not require it either. SkyProc patchers don't because like whats-his-nuts said they just create an .esp file that combines a bunch of aspects of mods you ran through it to make certain mods you have apply to NPCs, generally. If you're going to change my name you should at least pay  for it.  If SkyProc only needs to have some directory names changed in the code, I wonder if symlinks would trick it.

KakerMix posted:I suppose you could download mods into Skyrim's directory and run Asis through that and then just move the esps over afterwards? That's what I'm wondering. You'd end up grabbing Oldrim versions of mods (ASIS, Automatic Variants, whatever), running SkyProc, and then taking the ESP (and textures) over to the SSE Construction Kit, opening, and saving. I don't know if that would work, but I like ASIS and Automatic Variants enough it might be worth the effort.

Agents are GO! posted:Honestly, Arth just puts the subjective stuff into his "Cutting Room Floor" mod, which is a decent compromise. I read through the changelogs because it's interesting to me, and there's plenty of "reverted change X from before, too subjective." CRF really is the most reasonable way to handle that stuff, and as much as we mock Artmoor, it was a good solution.

On the bright side, it made Vader's awakening at the end of Episode 3 seem better by comparison. Given one of the words is "Dovakin", how much work would it be to just use the Russian or German or whatever voice files?
