Section Z posted:So I'm re-sorting stuff, installing everything via Mod Organizer rather than mix workshop and Organizer. (New game a given just in case, but I wasn't very far in anyways You don't need any of the esp's for the High Res DLC or the unofficial High Res DLC Patches. Just make sure theyre in the correct order on the right hand pane and make sure MO is handling BSAs. EDIT: Okay Gunner here's some poo poo for you: Alright, Gunner, here's a few things. Firstly, it might be a nice idea if you put this right under the "Last Updated" blurb: If you want to talk about Enderal troubleshooting here, feel free, but you might be better served in the dedicated Enderal thread. If you're looking for Morrowind modding advice, check the Morrowind thread, and Oblivion modding we've combined into the general Elder Scrolls discussion thread. Also, you might want to make the Awful/Awesome mod thread a link in the relevant rules section. Alright, down to fuckin' business. Im not gonna bother to do fancy url tagging and poo poo because sitting, as said, is a bitch for me. (In case anyone cares, I play Skyrim with a controller, lying down.) Graphical Mods: Bethesda High-Res DLC Optimized http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9080/ The HRDLC is poorly optimized. Have this load after the HRDLC and the Unofficial HR DLC patch. Imaginator http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13049/ and Dynavision http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12525/ These two lightweight mods let you tinker with the appearance of Skyrim in an ENB-ish way with an absolutely tiny performance hit, since they use Skyrim's engine features rather than being lovely bolt-on code. Imaginator handles things like Saturation, Bloom, and contrast while Dynavision is all about Depth of Field. Xenius Character Enhancement http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2356 Basically a "vanilla, but better" approach to making NPCs look better in Skyrim, just upgrades a bunch of character textures and models without requiring compatibility patches and such. Textures such as Skin and Eyes are upgraded without everyone looking like anime supermodels. D13 Faster GET UP STAND UP animation vanilla friendly http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17491 Makes you stand up faster after getting ragdolled. Book Covers Skyrim http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35399 Gives every book in Skyrim an individualized cover with the title and everything. Integrated into Legacy of the Dragonborn, so if you're using that you don't need this. Elaborate Textiles http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19826 and Ashland Apparel http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32151 Elaborite Textiles makes the vanilla clothes in Skyrim look much more interesting and varied, while Ashland apparel really makes the clothing and armor added by Dragonborn look sharp as hell. Dragon Glyphs HD - Fixed http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27095 Makes Draconic Runes look much less pixelated everywhere. Improved Closefaced Helmets http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15927 Makes closed helms fit beast races better, and lets you actually see peoples eyes in the eyeholes. NPCs: Dwarven Mechanical Dragons - Guardians of Kagrenzel Edition http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38633 Especially since the latest version of Deadly Dragons removed them, this version of DMD makes them memorable encounters, since they only appear in a few select locations, and are very tough. Dwemer Spectres http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63022 This is an updated version of TrainWiz's original mod, and is better than the versions included with Skyrim Immersive Creatures. You can use this with SiC, just disable the SiC Spectres in the MCM. This includes named "Boss Spectres" in certain locations which have neat, unique loot. Skyrim Monster Mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35631 SkyMoMod is rather outdated, and I only list it for completeness sake and to mention that it doesn't require the DLC. House Mods: Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29249/ While not a house in and of itself, this lets you adopt up to six children and move your family to mod houses which support it, which is a lot of them. Jaxsonz Positioner http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52583 Also not a house in and of itself, this mod lets you reposition, remove, and add stuff to the game world and is useful for playing dollhouse with your player homes. Fyr Manor http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50115 and Agent's Fyr Manor Fixes http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75101 TrainWiz crazy clockwork city house, what Agents likes about this house is that while it's a fully featured house, you can't use all the features until you find the modules to unlock them, which are all hidden over Skyrim and Solstheim. Agents fixes makes several of the features work as advertised. Rayek's End Revisited (Mazz's End) http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71081 Remake of a popular house mod by a Goon. Quest Mods: Dwemertech http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56037 and Spectraverse http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53780 I wasn't sure whether to put these is Quests or in Magic mods, because they're both. Dwemertech focuses on spells that use Dwemer technology to function, and Spectraverse has two sets of spells: Light and Dark. Both are lore friendly and have quests to gain new spells and abilities. Agents loves these mods. There are also non-quest version that just add the spells if you're a total loving choade. Aethernautics- A Space Travel Mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41754 This is TrainWiz first Skyrim mod, and while it's kind of rough around the edges, it makes up for it by being awesome. Explore an abandoned dwemer launch facility and spaceship, then launch it and make it your home. Call down orbital strikes. Explore an abandoned Reman-Era moon colony. Yes, this is lore friendly. The Lost Wonders of Mzark http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36317 Explore an ancient Dwemer weapons factory and shut it down before it threatens all of Skyrim. Konahriks Accoutrements http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32458 Adds a new dungeon and quest, and adds wearable sets of Dragon Priest equipment that compliment the enchantments of the Masks. Moonpath to Elsweyr http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9782 One of the first major Skyrim quest mods, it's not bad. It's got decent voice acting and nicely designed locations. The flow reminds me more of a BioWare game, with a central hub area and sub-areas reached by fast travel, rather than the Bethesda open-world style. Integrated into Legacy of the Dragonborn. Spellmaking in Skyrim - The Last Altar http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/479982 Actually a very nice quest attached to this mod, which extends the College of Winterhold questline, but the Spellmaking doesn't work with SPERG. At all, because this mod uses certain spells as markers for "player knows this effect for spellmaking" and SPERG adds new versions of every spell, so you can get to the spellmaking altar and climactic battle of the mod and be unable to make any spells. Author promised a compatibility patches years ago and then disappeared from the internet forever. The Wheels of Lull http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58672 This is TrainWiz's Skyrim Magnum Opus - A huge mod with some amazing locations and voice work. Explore mountain abbeys overtaken by a mad Thalmor mage, the bottom of the ocean, areas of the clockwork city from Morrowind, and the foundations of reality itself. Meet Brhuce Hammar's dad. A few rough edges, but an amazing mod. This mod also is a sequel to every other Elder Scrolls mod Trainwiz has done, from Sotha Sil Expanded, to Brhuce Hammar Legacy. Also, a few things you might want to add, Gunner: WildCat is EnaiSiaion's combat overhaul, you might want to add it next to deadly combat and ultimate combat. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76529 The Brawl Bugs Cheat patch is based directly on the scripts for the original brawl bugs patch, I have absolutely no idea if you can mix it with the modern brawl bugs patch. I'd recccomend seperating them out. TrainWiz was banned from the nexus for a while (for a really loving stupid reason) and so some of his mods were uploaded by different folks, so you can't necessarily find them on his files page of his Nexus profile. All of EnaiSiaion's mods are made to work together, so if you installed them all you'd have a pretty decent start on a universal modpack.

Legacy of the Dragonborn is hot garbage, IMHO. It's like being given a six-foot party sub poo poo sandwich, and people saying "sure it's a poo poo sandwich, but there's so much of it!!" when you complain. The lack of quality pervades every part of that mod. The typos, the lovely textures, the poor grammar. He'll, I don't know if its still in the mod, but I fixed something for the dude back in like version 7 - he had a voiced line that referred to "Soltheim." Voiced. How the gently caress does that get so far? The mods just a much of a disorganized mess under the hood, there's a reason I never bothered to add support for it to the improved ASIS INIs. LotD lowers my FPS by 5 just having it in my load order. I do think somebody should report it for the stolen textures though, for shits and giggles. Edit: heh, snipe.

Propagandist posted:I also found Craftable Hearthfire Planters in concert with Chesko's Campfire to be really useful for alchemy. I love me some potions and poisons, but I could never find a decent house mod that had enough built-in planters for me. Fyr Manor's Nursery (with my fixes patch) has sixty. I know, because I had to fix every single one behind the scenes. Also, Gunner, in regards to Wildcat and all of Enai's mods being a decent overhaul when taken together, the reason I mentioned that is that I'm pretty sure Enai is working to make sure they work day one with Skyrim Remastered, including on the consoles.

bloodclot posted:Oh, and another thing. There is a navmesh conflict between JK's Skyrim and the latest release of USLEEP which results in a crash upon entering Windhelm.. The problem is not present for users of JK's Cities - Lite and Superlite. I hate to take Arthmoor's side on anything, but it really isn't the USLEEP team's problem. bloodclot posted:Not to begrudge the effort put into the OP, but there are a few ill-advised suggestions that I feel need to be addressed. The misinformation on ENB has already been mentioned, though to reiterate; changing presets during a playthrough will not corrupt your save. In fact, ENB presets are probably some of the safest mods to add and remove freely, so long as you're thorough. Even switching weather and lighting mods is unlikely to do anything more than mess up your weather and lighting, though the safest option will always be to stick to presets created for the mods you already have installed. I actually don't use deadly combat, but I've become quite fond of Wildcat, for the same reason I like iNeed: It adds depth without adding tedium. Now, Gunner, an OP edit suggestion of my own: You can remove my warning on Personalized Music about the College of Winterhold plugin. The newest version is an all-in-one merged version and works perfectly. It's great hearing this as I search for Tolfdir's Alembic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-j5MtQvHEE And can anyone recommend a nice Thalmor Robe retexture?

Lt. Lizard posted:On the other hand, the more I add mods that give me ~wonderful toys~ (Thunderchild, Apocalypse, etc...) the more I tend to gravitate towards those silly hardcore mods that make enemies massive HP sponges with ridiculous damage output because really: why would you cast beacon that will cause massive damage to everyone too close to in 10 seconds, a curse that is harmless but will explode if cursed target takes frost damage, spell that will cause frost damage if its target is staggered or knocked and then use unrelenting shout to precisely knock the whole group of bandits into beacon just as it explodes, setting up super wombo-combo that does MILLION BILLION damage, when realistically, every non-boss, non-dragon enemy dies to 5 firebolts and every enemy group to 3 fireballs? Same for defensive spells/abilities when you wear fully enhanced and improved daedric armor and nothing can really touch you anyway. Thats why you run ASIS, rather than 3 enemies with 20000 HP, it's 30 enemies with 2000HP. Seriously though, the reason you set up those combos is because casting fireball fireball fireball is loving boring. However, the real fun is using the non-Destruction spells and abilities, Evil Twin, Reave, Splinter Twins, the shout in Thunderchild which turns your archery into divine artillery strikes, that's the good poo poo. Or just use all three words of The Conqueror from thunderchild and explode the sun.

Im pretty sure familliar faces requires you to have had Racemenu and FF installed on the saves you're importing as well as your new game. Both SPERG and Ordinator make playing a mage much better than vanilla. Be sure to grab Apocalypse, Spectraverse, and Dwemertech if you're playing a mage. My two favorite house mods - Fyr Manor and Clockwork - are both very mage friendly. Fun tip: Grab apocalypse and play a sneaky vampire illusionist.

Foxhound posted:These CTDs are starting to get annoying now. Not becuase they happen really - it's to be expected after a certain amount of mods have been installed - but because they're so inconsistent. Half the time it's on area load, but other times it could be literally anything: Trying to do alchemy, looting a body, finding a new location. At one point it crashed when I picked up an item off the floor. And it could happen after 1½ hours or after 15 minutes. The only thing the papyrus log spits out is usually the VM thawing/frozen thing sometimes interspersed with USKP things. I almost feel like giving in and waiting for the Special Edition and restart then. Do you have crash fixes installed?

It is, but I'm actually surprised by how little they use it even compared to Oblivion. It's like in Fallout 3 they realized how buggy it is, so they seriously cut back until skyrim.

It can really be said that for now, at least, Skyrim Modding is mostly a written book - there'll probably be some neat new mods (Talos-willing my Last of the Dwemer will be finished someday) but not nearly at the pace of when the game was newer - a lot of modders haved moved on to Fallout 4. The release of Skyrim Remastered might jolt some new stuff out of the community.
