Time for a Conversation

I really want to rebuild Skyrim according to STEP, but it lists an insane number of mods to be installed (view section 2). I really don't want that many mods. It makes for a giant clusterfuck, and I don't do clusterfucks. So I'm left to ask these two questions: are all of these mods really necessary to have a stable Skyrim? If they are, who from Beth can I kick in the balls for a shitty, broken game that the modding community had to fix?

 

For an unrelated topic of conversation, I've been seeing a lot of Racemenu presets pop up on the Nexus. I'm finding many of these to be very attractive.

 

I have been using ECE for a long time, and I don't know if it would be worth it to switch back to Racemenu for the presets, so... does Racemenu offer more options than ECE? I mean, maybe I'll look through all of the presets that I drop in the folder, and I'll decide to forego using any of them. 

 

Shoot me some ideas for the pros and cons of both Racemenu and ECE.

 

Thanks for reading, folks.

I've been considering that, but is it more difficult to find the same old mods that I love to use? I mean, are the most recent versions of DD, ZaZ, CD and all of that already loaded with SE-compatible mods? WHat about CBBE, Bodyslide? I'm sorry to have to ask all of this, but the last two years has been a living hell of stress, and I mostly hid in a hole.

OK. Downloading and installing SE. I'll look for those good old mods (and some new).

SE does offer a lot right now, and it's more stable. But don't expect it to remain that stable once you keep it running with over 200 script-heavy mods. That simply is not possible.

Besides that, I'm totally with daedal. Give it a little bit more time and we have a good mod manager (hopefully Vortex), lots of ported mods and a stable game.

My opinion however is, that you will never reach that point where you got all your Oldrim mods up and running again for that 30 minutes of brilliance that you remember oh so well. Why? Because Oldrim was never stable, and it's just nostalgic to expect it to be as good or better as it was the first time around.

That's all good. I typically run with <200 mods by a wide margin.
