Skyrim setup in 2014
If anyone is interested, here are some notes about my current setup as of 06/2014 (This is partly for my own future reference ).
I already posted some notes on the visual mods I am using:
http://www.loverslab.com/blog/60/entry-415-personal-mix-of-enb-and-visual-mods/
Other than that, I have a very manual setup - I do not use MO or LOOT / BOSS to organize my list. It is organized after months of looking at TES5edit conflicts and trial and error.
The utilities I am using the most are:
- ENB (see the note above for visual mods)
-TES5edit: for quick resolution of missing masters, troubleshooting of overlaps between mods and to create SEQ files for now mods.
- WryeBash: to create a BashPatch file and merge leveled lists and free up some spots in my load order by combining mods that can be merged.
- GenerateFNISforUsers: run it after each update of sexlab mods
- Creation Kit: to fix what I can
- LOOT: just to see if I am not missing something obvious. I don't let LOOT organize my load order.
- NMM: only for a few mods that are easier to install with omod configurations and options (SoS for instance)
- BodySlide: to customize the CBBE shape I am using.
I switched to CBBE mostly to use BodySlide more easily.
My current body shape customization is available on the download page of Hormones: http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/416-sexlab-hormones-2014-06-04/
Mods list and load order.
I regularly try to clean up and remove mods I don't find necessary anymore. This is getting harder and harder to do. It feels now that I have to part with an important organ every time I have to knock something out of the list.
In short, I use:
- Requiem as an overhaul. I find the game more balanced and entertaining with it.
- iNeeds for eat, drink and sleep
- SexLab and a lot of related plugins.
- I also use some cosmetic mods or texture replacements that do no come with an esp file (and because of that, difficult to track down and list).
A note on starting a new game with this kind of list.
To minimize conflicts with SkyUI/MCM menus, I start a new game in four steps.
1- Enable all Non-SexLab mods only and start a new game. Save while you are in the Alternate Life starting cell.
:: Save using the console 'save basetstart'.
2- Enable SexLab mods except EstrusChaurus.esp and Defeat. Load your game and save, still in Alternate Life starting cell.
:: Save again using the console 'save basestart-sexlab'.
3- Enable the remaining mods and load your game again. Configure all mods.
:: Save again using the console 'save startgame'.
:: This is the save game you can reload every time you need to start the game (to reduce crash on load and infinite loading screens).
4- Load 'startgame' and talk to Alternate Life's Mara Statue to get started.
That way, if you need to start a new game with a different character (assuming your list of mods hasn't changed much), you can always load 'basestart' and only update your sexlab configuration (since sexlab mods change a lot faster than other mods).
