Aug. 2023 Overview Part 1 - Modlist Part 2 - DynDOLOD Part 3 - Files Part 4 - Armor Preview Part 5 - Tips and Tricks Part 6 - My thoughts on the CCC Introduction This is the reworked version of my 'Skyrim SE for Beginners' for the newest version of Skyrim AE. It will also work with an updated version of Skyrim SE from STEAM (aka Skyrim AE Light). My goal was to freshen Tamriel up a bit. Most cities, towns and villages have gotten a new design, the roads got new lanterns, and even a few new dungeons can now be found. Some spots get rebuild over time as new occupants move in. Another thing are relicts of the past. Shrines of Snowelves can be found, same as the remains of the anchors of Molag Baal (when he tried to invade Tamriel) and all daedric princes have new shrines hidden away. I also tried to get a beautiful game which is fun and, although it is a FRPG, as realistic as possible without punishing you for playing it. So you'll find neither skimpy outfits (aka Bikinis in a snowstorm) nor overly gothified fantasy weapons and armor which are totally useless in reality (i replaced those as much as possible). Happy to disappoint in this regard: Spoiler Congratulations! You just found a Daedric armor! Pic made by Taurelin But the beauty of it is that you can still adapt the list to what you like. I'm just trying to give you a solid base where you can add the things you like (or remove the ones you don't). Nothing here is carved in stone. A big 'Thank you' to all the modders out there! The game wouldn't be as good as it is now without you guys and gals! Don't forget to either endorse the mods you use or give the authors a 'thumbs up' here at LL. And, if you like my work, you can support me on Patreon. Most of the time i will be here (so don't expect updates), so it is only for those of you that want to support all the work on my guides (better said providing me with a steady supply of much needed coffee and cookies). Recommended additional threads There are a two threads i can only strongly recommend: If you're new to modding take a look at Mod Organizer 2 & Other tools - From zero to "Hey Sexlab is working!". @Just Don't Does an excellent job there. ? When it comes to conversions and/or updates then SE Compatibility Tracking (he supports AE too) is incredible useful. Thanks to @tasairis for keeping this updated. ?

Popular Post Aylis Posted November 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Modlist Here you'll find every mod i either tested or use in my personal build of the game. I havn't had any crashes for a very long time. But there are some things you got to watch out for (see posts #3 and #6). Mod Manager I strongly recommend using MO2 for this. Troubleshooting and adding/removing mods is so much easier with this tool. You forgot something? Just install it and drag'n'drop it into the right position. Loadorder messed up? Just use drag'n'drop again. It got a slight learning curve (thats where the tutorial video come in). But once you got used to it, this tool is very very helpful. Also any errors showing up in the bottom window of MO2 can be ignored. Those have always been false positives. Try installing something via FOMOD and every option you don't use falsely shows up as an error. Regarding updates to the list Page #1 is always the most current official release. Installation Take your time building this modlist. Make a quick 'does it work' check every time you finish one of the categories (i.e. Foundation / SKSE extensions / UI). But you have to create a new PC after each check! Otherwise you'll end up having visual bugs baked into your savegame. Also do you need 'Physics and Animation' for the hair in the group 'PC' to work (you'll get CTD otherwise). Some mods require this to initialize properly and you don't want to have broken or floating objects in the game. Then once you finalize this you make a larger spotcheck (visit all the cities at least). Now you have a working install, and when you take a scenic walk around you probably have a good idea how your system is handling it. Does it still feel fluid? When your FPS goes down is the game still responsive or do you have stutters? How long are the loading screens (using a SSD for the game makes a huge difference)? All this gives you a basic idea if you still have room to put mods on top of it. It would not be a good idea to add another script heavy mod when you are already seeing CPU stalls. Notes (ESM/ESP/ESL and LOOT) Spoiler ESM/ESP/ESL There are a lot of confusion about esl and mod limits, so here is a brief summary. There are a total of 256 slots in the game. Of those 256 slots, one is reserved for the ess file and five for the official masters. This leaves 250 slots for esm/esp files, but that is not the mod limit. Some mods do not even take up any slots. It has often been stated that esl and esl flagged esp files do not take up a slot. That is incorrect. Using one or more esl or esl flagged esp file will reduce the 250 esm/esp slot limit to 249. LOOT You do not need LOOT at all, except maybe to check for possible problems (and have fun with the false positives)! I'm used to NMM where the correct loadorder was extremely important, so this list is built in a way that it workss. The only thing you have to do is to maybe move a patch or two further down and move the ESM up. Thats all in that regard. Using LOOT to 'optimize' the LO will NOT be supported! With that number of used mods it simply can not work! Required mods and updates Spoiler Latest Visual C++ Redistributable .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime (v6.0.10) .NET 6.0 Runtime (v6.0.10) DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer ?I strongly recommend to reinstall it. This will prevent issues with older games (like Skyrim) Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) Spoiler Open it and copy all files, except the SRC folder, into the "SKYRIM SE FOLDER" of your Skyim installation. ENB for Skyrim Spoiler Copy the files d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll (located in 'WrapperVersion') into the "SKYRIM SE FOLDER" of your Skyim installation. ?I can recommend the following two presets for an ENB Rudy ENB SE for NAT 3 (Prepped for NAT, EVLAS and Lux) PI-CHO ENB (For 'Azurite Weathers' and EVLAS). Spoiler Comparison Spoiler Rudy : Copy 'enbseries', enbseries.ini, enblocal.ini into the "SKYRIM SE FOLDER" of your Skyim installation path. Addons are up to you. PI-CHO: Copy 'enbseries', enbseries.ini, enblocal.ini into the "SKYRIM SE FOLDER" of your Skyim installation path. DynDOLOD ACMOS Road Generator Wrye Bash xEdit xLODGen BethIni Spoiler The easiest way to modify setting is using the mod 'BethIni'. For this to work i recommend the following settings: Standard Spoiler 1. Basic Click on MEDIUM Disable FXAA. Disable VSync and Lock Frame Rate 2. General Click on the tab 'General' Make sure 'Intro Logos' are disabled. 3. Detail Now lets go to 'Detail' For 'Water' i recommend to use all reflections. You might not notice it at first, but you'll know that something is missing. Change Particles to 6000 or 7000 The 'Lens Flares' are subjective. I'd deactivate both... Ambient Occlusion will be handled by DynDOLOD and the ENB. So DEACTIVATE it here. 4. View Distance Here is where you can improve your FPS a lot by tinkering with the distances (Grass Fade and Level). The settings in the pic are the ones i use with my Radeon RX 570. 5. Visuals 'Grass Density' is important. A lower value means more grass and a higher one LESS grass in the world. 'Grass Diversity' shows the number of possible different grasses at the same time. 10 is good, but some mods might need a higher value. For 'Far-off Tree Distance' i prefer a higher value. Lower it if you want more FPS. If 'Projected UV Diffuse Normals' isn't activated (like in the pic). ACTIVATE it for better visuals. Now just return to 'Basic', click on 'Save and Exit' and you're done Creation Club Spoiler I can only recommend to put each DLC into its own mod folder. This way you can decide for yourself if you want to use it or not. For this we need the mod 'Curation Club'. I linked to its instructions and once it is installed and you've run it all CC are stored separately from each other and the game in their own folder.

Sorting Plugins Plugins are always in the order that their respective mods appear from top to bottom in the list (so start at the top and enable the first, download the second, enable it, and so on). Exceptions to the rule are basically: 1 - Every plugin in bold goes to the top of the plugin order (and then respective in the same order they would appear in the list) 2 - This list will tell you to move specific plugins. 3 - If you run Wrye and it gives you an error about mismatched plugins. That just lets you know that a plugin needs to come after another one (it will tell you the name of both) in the list. You shouldn't run into this unless you've missed something. 4 - When you enable a mod and it enables multiple plugins you just need to use common sense as far as which should go first (i.e. for KS Hairdos MP the main plugin would go before the wig one, or in LUX the main plugin would go before all the patches). The general order of the files should be: Bethesda Main Files Bethesda CC Files (ESL) Master Files (Can have any extension as authors mix those up) Yep, thats the bold ones... ESL Fertility.esm (Ending of a master but not flagged as one. This is an exception to the standard rules) ESP and ESPFE (Normal ESP and ESL-flagged ESP) Edited November 14, 2023 by Aylis 43 Link to comment
Aylis Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Note DynDOLOD is, besides rechecking your LO, the LAST step before firing Skyrim up to actually play the game. It makes absolutely no sense to run it before you have everything you want installed. Even smaller questmods and companions might have changes to the landscape which should be included to run through the creation of DynDOLOD. Basics If you're new to DynDOLOD take a look at this tutorial video: Spoiler DynDOLOD DynDOLOD can look really scary at first, so i'll try to give you an easy step-by-step guide to make it easier. But first the most important thing, make sure that you have the most recent version and the following mods (all are in the group 'Foundation') activated: xLODGen Resource - SSE Terrain Tamriel DynDOLOD Resources SE DynDOLOD DLL SE - Scripts DynDOLOD DLL SE Happy Little Trees Add-On - DynDOLOD ?Should you use this tree mod. R's Windmill - DynDOLOD patch ERM - Enhanced Rocks and Mountains - DynDOLOD files DEACTIVATE the 'Bashed Patch' before running DynDOLOD! Tip: They are easier to find if you filter by 'LOD'. Those are only used for the generation of the LOD files and should be deactivated for normal gameplay. So check their activation before running any part of the LOD creation. You don't want to know how often i forgot this and had to rerun the whole process... So make sure they are active! The next thing is to make sure everything gets started via MO2 (and add '-sse' as an argument to each mod). Otherwise the generated LOD will look very different from what we added with all the changes to the world. Also move the created files into the corresponding folder in MO2 after each step. They build upon each other. Preparation Make sure your AV isn't interfering! An AV like 'MS Defender' can cause the same issues as with 'Nemesis' (see 'Tips and Tricks'). Step 1 - Terrain LOD This step will sort of 'merge' all the used terrain textures and should prevent harsh borders where different textures meet. Setting up the Details for the LOD This is depending on your used display and i can only give you the settings i use here. You might have to tinker with the contrast (marked Blue) and brightness (to the left of it). Spoiler LOD4 LOD8 LOD16 As the settings are automatically saved you only have to do this once. Creating the terrain. Please use the following settings: Spoiler Once this has run through we're finished with part 1 and can proceed to the next step. Step 2 - Adding roads For this we use the tool 'ACMOS Road Generator'. The OA said that it is not necessary, but we change so much in the game that i simply feel safer starting it through MO2. The usage is quite simple, select 'Roads', point to the folder where your (in step 1) created terrain textures are and click 'Generate'. After a while it finishes the process and we can continue. Step 3 - Creation of billboards A lot has changed with DynDOLOD 3. Now the programm will generate the required billboards itself (which was a real problem before when authors didn't include them in their mods). As the format of the required textures has changed you will see some errors regarding this. But as this has to be fixed by the mod author so we can't do much about it. Thankfully everything still works. I use the following settings: Spoiler Let it run through and then we have everything for the last step. Step 4 - Creation of the LOD First of all DEACTIVE xLODGen Resource - SSE Terrain Tamriel and the Bashed Patch. Otherwise you will run into issues. Now we've come to the last part, the generation of the final LOD. To start we have to select 'Advanced' on the first selection. Using my ini file skips this part and immediately shows the advanced screen. Spoiler Now we get the screen where we can select the options we want to use. But first click on 'high' to load the rules for better visuals. Secondly tweak the settings for the trees (at the bottom of the list) as this will have an impact on your FPS. Spoiler As this is highly dependent on your GPU i can't tell you what to use. In general 'Billboards' are easier on your GPU, 'Level' looks better but taxes your system more. In the end you have to find out yourself what works best for you. In the main i recommend to use the following settings (and activate everything in the top left): Spoiler Now you have to move the files into the folder for them, reactivate the 'Bashed Patch' and can finally enjoy your game. Have fun. ? Some ENB require changes to the ini. I included mine in 'ENB Modified' of our files section. Edited August 26, 2023 by Aylis 18 Link to comment

Aylis Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Tips and Tricks Improving FPS Most of the mods are already in the guide, so i link to a video that still might be useful to you. Spoiler Improving FPS (NVidia) This might be useful for users with a NVidia card. Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8zSEdf9DGI Integrating DLSS and FSR into Skyrim Another video you might find useful. Spoiler Flagging ESP as ESL It is relatively easy to flagg an ESP as ESL so it won't take a slot in the limited space for ESP. As it might cause problems i recommend to do it one by one and test the game for stability issues. But usually it should cause no issues if you follow those steps. Spoiler 1. Start 'Wrye Bash' via MO2 2. Look for the mod you wan't to flagg as ESL. 3. Check if it shows up with a 'green' text (those are the ones that can possibly be converted). 4. Rightclick on the ESP and select 'Check ESL Qualification'. I already did the check for mods in the guide. 5. If a window pops up listing it as 'ESL Capable' proceed with the next step. 6. Rightclick on the ESP again and select 'Add ESL Flag'. 7. Repeat the steps 'til you got all the mods you want to flagg. 8. Simply close 'Wrye Bash' and you're done. 'Windows Defender' and 'Nemesis' Spoiler Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender Open Windows Defender Go to 'Virus & Threat Protection' Click 'Manage settings' Scroll down and click 'Add or remove exclusions' Add an 'Exclusion' Click 'Process' Type: "Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine.exe" without quotes. Loading times I can't stress enough to install the game and the with MO2 extracted mods on a SSD/M2 drive. Skyrim and FO4 can actually use the advantages of a fast M2 drive and will reduce the loading times. An additional option is to use a lower resolution for textures. The game will then be easier on your GPU and the smaller files will also load faster. Resolution of Textures Generally it is a good idea to have a better resolution for things you constantly see or get close to. Armors, weapons and skin are constantly visible so a higher resolution is advisable. On the other hand it makes no sense to use 4K for coins. Wasting system ressources for a negligable effect on something of this size. My recommendation would be: Mountains/Rocks : 4K+ (Standard is 8K with MM) Landscape : 2K Armor/Weapons : 4K Skin : 2K+ Architecture : 2K+ Small objects : 1K- (depends on size) Spiky ground This can be caused by broken cachefiles for the ENB. Those have to be rebuilt by deleting the files in the folder 'enbcache' (located in the game folder). Not all ENB versions have this. Also make sure you didn't install the groundcovers of the 'Skyrim 3D Landscapes'. Edited August 26, 2023 by Aylis 13 Link to comment
Aylis Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Creation Club Content Here i'll add personal thoughts on some of the CCC additions to the game. Overall they are a mixed bag. Some are very good, others not so much. That is the main reason i added the mod to separate the CCC from the game and give you the option not to use them. Recommended Spoiler Adventurer's Backpack This one is actually quite good. As it is the base for other backpacks i can only recommend it. Arcane Accessories The acessoires are quite useful and i can only recommend them if you want to delve deeper into magic. Bittercup Nice little questmod with different paths and loot. Chrysamere Very nice twohanded sword. Perfect for a knight or paladin. Elite Crossbows A short quest and some lore. Farming This one of the better CCC. You can rebuild a farm and even expand it with more buildings and NPC. Ghosts of the Tribunal I absolutely love it. Nice quest, nice armor and a very welcome reminder of 'Morrowind'. Goldbrand Lore and a good weapon. Whats not to like? Horse Armor If you want to give your horse a nice armor then this is a good option. Myrwatch A very nice housemod for a mage/spellsword. Interesting layout and it got all you'll need. Nchaunthumz Without the added patch for the door you'll have to go through a cave and three loading screens to reach it. Also it is quite big, so you'll have to run around for some time to really use it. Netch Leather Armor Another reminder of 'Morrowind' and it makes total sense that the Dunmer brought them to Solstheim. The protection from the ashes are its biggest boon when the red mountain spews the next clouds. Nyx Hound In itself a dismissable mod (they look really bad), but if you use the replacer (see 'Creatures' in the guide) it suddenly becomes a good addition. Spell Knight Armor One of my favourite armors in the game and i like the quest for it very much. Sunder and Wrathguard Very good quest, lots of lore and good loot. Now this is one of the better CCC. ? The Cause Good questmod that is a reminder of Oblivion. The Contest Short questmod with good equipment that can be quite useful. Umbra A nice dungeon-crawl. The weapon, you have to kill the previous owner first, is very good too. Your Choice Spoiler Alternative Armors Those are a matter of taste. Install the ones you like. Arcane Archer Pack This is one of the addons i'm always torn about. I do like the quest, but the added arrows show up as loot all over the place and the requirements to craft them are quite steep. Bone Wolf A not so interesting addition to the CCC. My biggest gripe is that they all look the same and this becomes obvious very fast indeed. You won't miss much if you skip this one. Camping Another mod most people won't really miss (unless you use 'Survival'). The equipment is quite heavy and that means less loot you can pick up. Expanded Crossbow Pack First they ask you if you havn't seen a crossbow before and then they add more of them to a trader. Not sure if it really fits to the lore. Fearsome Fists Its a mixed bag again. Some look good, others not so much. They might work for you if you like brawling. Gallows Hall Very interesting addon for a Necromancer. You get three additional undead summons and the player home is decent (Myrwatch is still better). But its strengh is also its weak point. Its use is primarily for a Necromancer, others will have little use for it. Headman's Cleaver Not really my cup of tea. But you may like it. Necromantic Grimoire Interesting for those who like to create undead. Not much use for anyone else. Nordic Jewelry This one feels just like a cash-grab from Bethesda. The items are not very good and don't get me started about the laughable quest. The only redeeming factor of the addon are the experience you're about to get (otherwise it would have ended in NOT Recommended). Pets One of the mixed CCC. The added pets don't do much and are only useful if you absolutely want to have one. You won't miss much if you skip it. I'd rather tame an animal via 'Ordinator'. Those help in a fight and you have a better selection. Redguard Elite Armaments At first i didn't like it that much. Now, with the texture replacer, it became one of my favourite armors for a Redguard. But as this is a matter of taste i leave it up to you if you want to use it. Ruin's Edge A very strangelooking bow. Not sure if i want to add it as a collectors item. Shadowfoot Sanctum Well, i wouldn't like to live in a sewer (especially with kids). Staves Not especially good, but not too bad either. For me (non-mage) they are just more clutter to collect... Stendar's Hammer Well, get into Markarth's museum and pick it up. 'Quest' is done. In addition to that it is imo oversized and its weight of 100 makes its use very limited indeed. It might be interesting for collectors but i see no further use for it... The Arms of Chaos Simple fetch'n'kill quest giving you two mage staffs. Not particularily interesting for a non-mage. Vigil Enforcer Armor Set The added quest and additional lore is fine, sadly the armor doesn't look good. I leave it up to you if you want to add it. Wild Horses In itself a good idea. What i don't like is the unicorn you can get and which ruined this addon for me (i don't think it fits into Skyrim). NOT Recommended Spoiler Bloodchill Manor Although it is quite nice the name and the location are way off. Who would build an extensive house/manor inside that place? And its name doesn't help to hide its inhabitants. More likely it will draw attention... I definitely wouldn't accept a dinner invitation from there. Dead mans dread Doesn't offer much. The armors and weapons feel out of place and getting to the house requires several loading screens. Clunky, not very interesting and its use as a housemod is questionable at best. Do yourself a favor and skip it. Dwarven Armored Mudcrab I guess this one is supposed to be a joke you had to pay for. Unfunny, and skip it as it adds nothing worthwhile to the game. Forgotten Seasons A big old facility of the dwemer. It got a 'weather control' feeling about it which doesn't make much sense as the Dwemer lived underground. What breaks it for me is the inconsistancy of the enemies inside. Having so many nature spirits in a dwemer ruin just feels off. The others may fit the theme (aka the seasons) of the area but again in a dwemer ruin they feel displaced. Goblins This is a short unimpressive cave exploring quest (aka 'kill-everything-that attacks-you') and a follower at the end. The big problem with the follower is that he doesn't grow with you (weak in combat and can't use better armor) and becomes useless very fast. The Riekling you can get in Solstheim is much better and you can give him better equipment. The only decent thing are the added mushrooms, but those seem to only grow in that cave so acquiering enough of them can become a pain. Hedraheim Although the exterior is nice, once you've added the missing planters, the feeling you get from it is not so good. You have a huge hall, worthy of a leader/thane, but with no one around its just an empty warriors hall. Where are all the warriors/friends who could sit at the tables? Where's the bard singing to your guests? Where are guest rooms? In other words it is nice but imho incomplete and shouldn't be used. Lord's Mail Its just bad. Bad 'quest', too easy to get and the armor looks awful on top of that. Plague of the Dead The 'horde' is just a handful of Zombies with bad animations and a single soundeffect. You get books to summon them (but you really don't want to). Saturalia Holiday Pack This one feels out of place for Skyrim and more like a goofy gimmick. It is actually one i payed for and was thoroughly disappointed. Shadowrend Quest? Not with this one... The weapon(s) is/are not very good at all. Wile the sword is somewhat OK, the axe is a hilariously overdone gothic axe with bad textures. Imho just some wasted space on you drive. Tundra homestead Although i normally like Elianoras house mods this one didn't impress. It is more of a very watered down version of her Breezehome mod. Lots of z-fighting and the placement of some containers are questionable at best. I fixed those problems with another mod, but that one causes now LOD issues (incompatible with 'JK's Whiterun Outskirts' and 'Whiterun Metropolis'). So i had to move the CCC into this category. Do NOT use this CCC! Edited August 11, 2023 by Aylis 5 Link to comment

atawyhrow Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Thanks for coming back to Skyrim and putting in the effort to do this again. If I can offer one bit of feedback it would be to put notes adjacent to the mods, especially ones that are supposed to be disabled after a certain point, after a - behind them instead of underneath them. It may be a bit confusing to new people on whether the note is meant for the mod above or below it. 1 Link to comment
Aylis Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 @atawyhrow I was never gone, i simply had no access to the account. Anyway, i was already thinking about that.

Aeon187 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Hi Aylis, thank you for the detailed guide! I'm at the end of the mod installation process where I need to run nemesis, but it doesnt show any mods I added, only the default mods (gun mod, blocking combat behavior improvement etc). Not sure what I'm doing wrong.. I'm also not 100% sure how to build my body and clothes. Maybe you could point me in the right direction?! I've installed cbbe with the slim body, so I select the 3bbb group and my slim preset and batch build? and after that batch build the armors/clothes with my slim preset?

Third make sure the mods support Nemesis (or do they need FNIS?). 27 minutes ago, Aeon187 said: I'm also not 100% sure how to build my body and clothes.

AutoBody handles the shape of the body. Males do work fine with a zeroed body, for the females i'm still trying to add more presets into it. For now i'd recommend to install the 'curvy' body in CBBE. Otherwise they can get extremely thin... Armor and clothes are already done (check 'Files'). We need a zeroed preset so the meshes will always look the same anyway. Link to comment
Aeon187 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 thanks for the reply! well XPMSSE has listed FNIS as its requirements, but I thought we use nemesis instead, since I did not find FNIS in your modlist. But yeah as I said none of the mods I installed showed up in nemesis, and I had nothing ticked, but it ran anyway and processed quite a few animations. For Armor / Clothing I'm using Spice Gear & Minidresses Collection replacers so I need to build them myself I think. I know the basics of batch building but am no expert and did get a bit confused by 3ba and the physic mods, maybe you could share/describe your workflow or point me in the right direction. For the males I think they were already included in the download? I never used Autobody before but will have a look into it!I usually go for the slim option bc I'm no fan of xxl breasts Link to comment

For general workflow you have to check the SSEB thread. I posted spreadsheets there for every change i did in preparation for AE (which ended up with 0.9.4 here).
