ENB SE just straight up has massive overhead due to the way Boris implemented it. You can easily test this by disabling every single feature but leaving ENB actually enabled, there should still be a significant FPS hit.

If you just want color correction setting something up with Reshade will probably significantly improve your framerate. If you want ENB bells and whistles, well, you're stuck with it.

I installed Bethesda's Creation Kit on my AE installation. Is there any way to use that install to work on SE files in an another installation? Do I need to create another (portable somehow?) installation of Bethesda.net and CK just to open and save one wonky FNIS spell animation?

CK is set to open any .esp file but opening one in the SE installation auto-loads all the AE .esms and says it won't save to the SE directory I opened from.

Thinking of starting a new run, modding pretty heavily (I've only played Vanilla+QoL before). I have read something about the Anniversary Edition overwriting the SE even if you don't buy the [strike]horse armour[/strike] curated mods, and all the mods needing to be updated before they work after the update.

Does everything work right now, or should I wait another couple of weeks or three?

But with the choice between "Roman legion sad it lost to elves and taking their orders now" and "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Nordic children" I'll go with the first choice every time.

So far as i see, the AE doesnt add in anything worthwhile anyway.

One thing that really irks me about NexusMods is them deactivating your account if you don't use it for awhile. I'm glad they sorted their poo poo out, but I'll never not make burner accounts via temporary email addresses because of their dumbassery.

The paid creation club bundle has what seems like a comical amount of player homes, at least from the person I was watching play. They found like 3 homes over the course of a few hours. (Though, I think their chat might have been directing them towards AE specific stuff?)

It's also funny how they seem to come kitted out right off the bat and don't have the most involved requirements to get? Meanwhile vanilla houses are like "5000 gold for an empty room."

I think there are at least three things that can be referred to as merging mods/patches which makes it all a bit confusing. Merging esp plugins to save space, making a new plugin containing merged leveled lists, and third I'm just remembering if you download a patch from the same page as the main mod file it tries to install in mod organiser with the same name, and asks to rename merge or overwrite which seems to be what Fat Samurai is asking about and I didn't realise before. I've never merged on that but it's probably personal preference, for me having a decently long modlist feels fragile and I want it to be as easy as possible to debug in case something breaks but it comes at the cost of having an even longer list in the UI.

Yeah as cool as ALLGUD is I think I am going to have to ditch it.

Question regarding a reinstall of Skyrim. After a fresh reinstall and then running the downgrader, what else will I have to do with the main installation folder to get everything going again? I know that SKSE goes in the main folder. What about things like bodyslide or other stuff?

Argh. I don’t know what happened, but somehow Mod Organizer 2 literally forgot my entire mod priority order and deactivated every mod I had installed, so now I have to manually re-sort over 1000 different individual mods. AND weed out like 50 mods I’d deactivated but hadn’t deleted yet from the mix too.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

nine-gear crow posted:

Nope. I legitimately don't know what happened. I started up MO2 while my computer was disconnected from the internet, and for some reason that caused it to throw a fit and disable every mod and then throw all of them out of their priority separator groups and into the "Delete these unused mods eventually, dumbass" category I'd set up at the bottom of list.

Quite often the engine spawns actors and creatures high up in the air and then they literally drop in.
And die.
I’ve had it happen to guards in Whiterun and Markarth and it can happen to Fralia Greymane too. I once walked into Whiterun and got a message that I’d failed the quest involving her and it was because she’d died from spawning up in the air. A reload sorted it out.
I’ve also been out on the Whiterun plains and had deer drop in front of me. Free meat!

Well, I'm trying to use Wrye Bash and running into an issue with it even starting.



I've installed python for windows.
I've reinstalled the C++ 2010 and had it do a repair. tried the standalone install, both from the installer and the manual install.
