About this blog

After spending considerable time on the Technical Threads I have discovered that there are many issues that come up over and over again (besides just not reading what the mod author has written). This has inspired me to try to write out some of those things in a manner that will allow both quick reference and some explanation. Hopefully, it will give some people a first place to go when they have issues and go to the Technical threads only after they've exhausted this topic.

How I Deal with my Own Mod Issues - Part III

Now I'll try to put the material in the last two posts together into how I actually do it. You have likely figured most, if not all, of this out already from the other posts.

How I Deal with my Own Mod Issues - Part I

HELP! I feel, as I did in my first blog post, like some disclaimers are needed. This time I'm going to keep them simple though. #1) There is no such thing as a right way to solve modding issues. This is mine. Many other people with good intentions and more sense may do this another way. I say, "more power to them." #2) This post, like this blog, is LoversLab (LL)-centric. There is nothing that I am doing here that could not be done on

Improving Performance - Second Part

God helps those who help themselves. - Source disputed 99% of all problems (in modded Skyrim) are user caused. -Grey Cloud (in the Skyrim Technical Threads) As I have already mentioned this blog speaks to my experience in following the Skyrim Technical Thread here on LoversLab. While it is unpleasant to consider, a large number of those problems could have been avoided by reading the instructions given by mod authors. This blog entry is going to focus on the bas

CTDs

(I said CTDs you pervert, for STDs you need to go elsewhere - maybe PSQ?) Disclaimers: Disclaimer 1 (please read this prior to telling me what a moron I am) Disclaimer 2 (I know that this is derivative) Disclaimer 3 (when are you going to finish?) Section 1 - CTDs The first question when you are getting CTDs is when are you getting CTDs? This can be split in three parts: before the main screen (or a split second
