gasman posted:What? I can't see anything because of the immersive DOF. eye-murder DOF can be useful if your intent is to post a neato screenshot that gets lots of thumbs-up on Nexus, or more specifically to focus your attention on whatever's in the foreground which is usually a waifu. The key thing to remember is you can also toggle it off. I really doubt the majority of the DOF-death screens you see are what people play with. It takes like five seconds to toggle it on for a screenshot and then off again. think of it this way: it's a lot easier to just blur the gently caress out of the background than to try and find UHD 8K woodgrain textures like the guy who posted above me.  e: ok I'm sure some people play with it on but they're dumb

I haven't installed that yet, but gross. DOF-on-by-default is rarely, if ever, a good idea for a videogame. It can lead to some cool screenshots, don't get me wrong, but it's a hamfistedly dumb way of trying to handle the way the human brain perceives visual input. In that regard, DOF is immersive and lore-friendly, right?  Actually could someone with Enderal do me a favor and pastebin their INI files? I read someone put the enderal skyrim/skyrimpref INIs into their base game and got better performance - I'd like to diff them against mine and see what they've done to it. Or if someone has already helpfully analyzed their config files, that'd be better.

Not all ENBs come with an ESP plugin so not all ENBs require the "don't change it mid-playthrough" warning. Only ones which give you custom weather (like Natural Longname McENB) do.

like FSFD said, right-click the "Data" with the checkmark box and pick Set As Data Folder or whatever the option is - fixes it right up. What you're seeing is a mod which nested all its files in \data\ already inside the archive, and MO doesn't expect that (because a bunch of mods don't) so you just manually say "hey, this is the data folder" and it works just fine. You can drag and move and tweak stuff all you like while installing so you have full control over what goes where, but sometimes it's a little weird if you can't visualize what's going on behind the scenes. This is just MO making sure you don't end up with duplicate data folders, so the path would end up being skyrim\data\data\textures\... or whatever. And not work.

I wanted to put in my two cents on Siets ENB guide: it's good here's my ENB guide addendum: be careful with lighting mods. It sounds so good, right? Change Skyrim's pretty mediocre lighting to be awesome like this screenshot? Sign me up! The problem is, they assume things when they tweak lighting. Some assume vanilla lighting. Some assume a specific version of a different lighting mod and some assume you live in a pitch-black cave inhabited solely by mountain dew bottles and doritos tacos locos wrappers. In the end, improperly configured lighting mods will rapidly turn your game into one where everything is pitch black and candles light up an area with a radius of approximately 7 micrometers, which is apparently what we call microns now. ENBs tend to exacerbate the issue by nature of how they work - they modify lighting, so now you're modifying a modification which may also be modifying a modification. It's gonna look like poo poo. So read the ENB's instructions twice and pass on anything with a huge pile of pre-req mods. Or just install a known good ENB and be done with it.

Have you also picked up the entire Enchanting perk tree? SPERG perks are a big deal above and beyond simple skillpoint allocation. So if you just consoled yourself to 100 enchant without also taking the entire tree, that may be part of it. You'll certainly want the top tier perk Extra Effect, because two enchantments per item gets stupid powerful; that's on top of a lot of enchantment power boosts on the way. also bear in mind the way SPERG works there are some cross-tree buffs. For example, some of the Smithing and Alchemy perks may be relevant. there's always the good old "enchant a bunch of +%enchant gear, equip, repeat" trick! Hope you like potionmaking and/or own Dragonborn, as it has some powerful enchantment gear. Smol posted:In my experience, it's best just to turn on the key ENB graphical enhancements, like detailed shadows and soft particles & soft particle lights, but to leave out the color/lightning tweaks (i.e. use UseOriginalPostProcessing=true & UseOriginalObjectsProcessing=true). Actually this is also a really good idea thing to have listed somewhere. You can always disable bits and pieces of any ENB - or disable huge chunks of it like this - as you please. I suggest NLA for a few reasons, but even I'd disable the DOF effect straightaway. Customizing your ENB isn't just possible, it's basically required. Modding is the game, right? I think TES General has a pretty good ENB comparison page, if anyone feels the urge to really get into it. In my opinion, it's a good jumping-off point, way better for ENB comparisons than trying to open 75 tabs on Nexus. Psion fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Sep 6, 2016 |

Let me know what your perk trees look like, but I never got deep into enchanting without an endgame character who had several other maxed out trees, so I don't know for sure how essential those perks are, just that I never had problems getting ludicrously powerful gear with them all. and hopefully, someone else who actually knows SPERG will say something, heh

RangerPL posted:Can someone elaborate on this? Unless the author of the ENB section knows something that I don't, there's no harm in switching ENBs mid-playthrough as long as they don't require their own ESPs because ENBs don't leave a footprint on your save file. I still think it's good advice: A lot of ENBs do include or require lighting/weather plugins, and those are ESPs you probably don't want to swap around mid-save. That said, you're correct assuming you swap from ENB to ENB that do not require anything different in terms of plugins (either vanilla -> vanilla, or elfx -> elfx, what have you)

Foxhound posted:Is there any safe way to uninstall a magic mod mid-playthrough? I use Phenderix but want to change to Apocalypse. Will it just completely gently caress up everything if I remove Phenderix? my guess is that it won't completely gently caress up everything, but Skyrim is a weird thing, hence the oft-repeated (and generally good) advice not to mess around with changing mods mid-game. this being said, I do nothing but change around with mods mid-game and I'm not alone. The dirty secret of this thread is just like dirty CK edits: just do it and find out! Here's the thing - from what I see, Phenderix adds a bunch of spells, npcs, and, optionally, player perks. Two of those are usually no big deal to remove, and the third is something you can find out! Make a good hard save first, such that you can re-add Phenderix and revert if you have to, and just know going in you might be botching the profile. But that's always a risk and  there are things you can do to help mitigate continued mod-fuckery, but the way I do it presupposes you've already beaten Skyrim and have 75/75 achievements and consider modding to be the game now.

Unless someone not-Tannin steps up and finishes Mod Organizer 2, I have read you will be out of luck on SE. personally I'm inclined to run SE fairly close to vanilla for a while - give the initial glut of badly ported Skyrim mods time to die down and, hopefully, the SKSE team will be able to do something, that kinda stuff. It's why I'm also waiting for FO4 GOTY/Ultimate/Legendary/Wasteland edition or whatever. Really, the best way to go.

Yeah, the visual changes are probably a small percentage of the actual code change, as opposed to a lot of the big fundamentals being shifted behind the scenes. Don't mistake "most visible feature" for "biggest part of the code."

Ynglaur posted: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? It's starting from scratch in that you cannot assume any of your prior choices are the same, so you have to identify all the mappings again, start from scratch and test all of the newly written code, and generally it's going to be more complicated to rebuild the same function, most likely. Look at the tough going the FO4SE team has as opposed to prior script extenders. think of it as knowing what you want to do, knowing it's probably possible, but still having to start from zero. and that's before you add in all the quirks that I'm sure Bethesda software is riddled with. It'll be faster than literally inventing a script extender, and I'm sure it'll happen, but it won't be "do a few hours of work and push the port SKSE button" Psion fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Oct 20, 2016 |

At launch, no, but theoretically it'll be much more extensible to make it better in the long run. Think of it as a better starting place than Skyrim was in 2011, but still in the starting-place phase as opposed to the five years of fine-tuning with mods phase.
