Manipulator This mod lets us change some fundamentals of a NPC ...disposition, marriage, follower, essential and body-slide info. This for now is all that is used remember to edit a NPC you must have them in your cross-hairs. 

Scent of sex The only thing we will use with this is the actor editor nothing else. This edit does it as well as the CK but in game so what does it do well on the actor edit tab it should show any NPC near you select the one you want to edit it will have a faction tab, property tab, and fellowship. faction should be self explanatory but is the most important one we will use. You can add or remove any faction you want from the NPC.....  Example lakeview manor is attacked by bandits all the time and will kill what ever is there including your bard you hire because they go outside. Using the edit tab we can now add the bard and anyone else that lives there to the bandit faction and the bandits will no longer attack them. Do not kid yourself in thinking council commands will work also I have tried many times it works only for a while then they revert back. as stated this does it as good as the CK kit. You can also add yourself to all know factions and remove them at will... this is very important to remember use this to add and remove only.

Follower live package This is the best hands down follower frame work ever made for Skyrim yes I used them all. I know what your saying but I use AFT ect... this frame work looks daunting but it is not I do recommend playing with it the features it has is amazing and you can ask anyone yes anyone to follow you so long as they see you as a friend.... enter the Manipulator set any NPC to friend and a dialog will show to " follow me" there you go now anyone can be a follower  this will attach a follower faction to them to remove it use Scent of sex actor edit. Even after you use a follower you can "revert them back to " normal " change their disposition to what ever it was before and remove follower faction an they are back to normal. This follower package does way more though you can make anyone wander around, hang around, work anywhere yes anywhere even that tiny Island in lake Ilinalta and they will stay there.
 

My home is your home  Use this to set a NPC or follower a new home can also have them work and sleep in different areas. Remember to set a home before dismissing them and or changing them back to a normal NPC.
 

Pocket empire builder So now we can change NPC and followers we can give them jobs and now we need a fresh new place to call home this mods does just that. Build your town anywhere you want has many features even has the ability to copy a NPC and move them somewhere else without interfering with the original.  

So what does this all mean well a more dynamic way of playing now NPC really can be interactive and useful follower will actively hunt enemies gather ingredients defend you.... NPC can now be more than wall art or punching bags. I strongly recommend  if you plan on doing certain quests with a NPC you want to change do their quest first then change away......

Again this is just a brief overview but with these mods it will change how you play and makes having a follower fun again makes interacting with NPC fun again this is just a short list I will include more to change Skyrim for the better.

To be continued..... 

Now what can TES5edit do?... many things example: Like a follower mod but would like to change their stats, factions,ect? you can with this.

Want to add perks to a follower that has none... now you can yes Lydia too. There is so many things that can be changed with this tool including deleting things you do not like.... See warning! I highly recommend this tool and I highly recommend you watch/read some tutorials about how to use it. Now... not all changes you make to a follower or to the game will happen immediately some will ...some only take effect if you have not met them in game yet or been in a cell and/or start a new game.

Council Commands these are a great resource but be careful they can break your play through.

So a favorite CC command I use is setlevel 1000,0,1,150  just as it is typed this will set a npc/follower level to what you are... you click on NPC using the ~ key  enter command and now they are at your current level and they will level with you to 150 or higher just change the last number.

you can change a NPC skill also using as an example: setav onehanded 100

replace onehanded and number to what ever skill you want to increase ( your perk tree names) on a NPC really is that simple.

COC is another that can be useful but you will need the location and those can be found on google.

Example: coc solitudebluepalace will take you to the Blue-palace interior.

There are many things you can use CC on but be careful as doing stupid things will break your game.

Next is a simple mod that adds a spell it is called blink it is a teleportation spell that works very well and very OP. I did not include this earlier sections as I feel this is a refinement to the game. What can it do? simple what you target and cast is where you will go who needs whirlwind sprint this is better period. you can even go through a locked door or walls  so long as it is in the same cell without using CC. It is a go anywhere mod that after you have it you wont play without it... It is a lot of fun to use and does require some practice but it is worth it.

So a review of the three section:

Make your NPC better * check

make your character better * check

make your game look better * check

Tools to make Skyrim what it should have been * check

Results a more dynamic Skyrim

This will more than likely be the last section in this series this lays out the fundamentals and some refinements now you need to fill in your own blanks in the game with mods of your choosing. I will not be covering the Creation kit as there are volumes wrote about it.....I hope I offered some help to those who wanted to do more but never knew how... Enjoy

Making the game extreme

Skyrim always seemed a little to easy I wanted a challenge where mistakes would mean death. Frost-fall http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/11163/?  brought a new level of planning to the game no longer could I just jump in the water without proper preparation or head out in the cold of Skrim but at least I could make a Campfire http://www.nexusmods...mods/64798/?... Then the world change when Immersive wenches came out http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51189/? followed by . Deadly wenches http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60625/?  Hateful wenches http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68090/? Forgotten wenches  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72104/?

Judgment wenches http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/76289/?

Skyrim was now a very harsh place full of very capable warriors gone are the days when weak bandits and tombs with no real challenge as the drauger and automatons where little more than a nuance. Gone are the days when guards were pushovers with childish stats.

No trip can be ill planned no dungeon can be just stumbled on and explored as dire consequences await for the fool hardy and death lurks around every corner.

And if you find that the nights are quite and peaceful and sitting by the campfire offers you comfort perhaps Skyrulianfield   http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/74102/? will change your tune. 

Never has fire and a friends house seem so inviting and if you Simply knock on a door http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/73236/? perhaps you can find shelter if only for a time. 

Everything is extremely harsh even something like sleeping outside will have real dangers better post guards while your sleep.

If your really want to one up it use that list and don't smith just use what you find or can buy for weapons and armor... If you try it good luck you will need it.

Try this combo if this does not offer the biggest challenge to a would be adventurer in Skyrim than nothing will. You have been warned.

Also hair styles make sure you have the ones you want

...Now make sure you have your skeleton this is the one you want period https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68000  Also never ever let anything overwrite your skeleton EVER!!!!

Now we want FINS https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811/?Yes you need it.

You also want Racemenu  yes you need it

So we can now make you look good well if you wish to play as a female sorry but I probably will not cover males as it really does no fit in my game see other clubs.

Now we need to build your play style and how you want to play.

This mod Levelers Tower is pinnacle in this.... why? Simple you can make yourself out to use any type of build you want without waiting... is that cheating? No why play till level 20 and decide your your build sucks why waste time. this tower lets you use perks in the Lab area and see their uses and how it will work in game. So how then? Levelers Tower has an area where you can test your build against most anything in game save for dragons..... Dragons and being inside just don't work....... The tower has its own arena where you can summon enemies to test your build yes you read that right. Now I highly recommend this mod and I highly recommend you understand this mod it is one amazing tool for characters builds it will takes some time to explore and understand all that is there but trust me once you have it.... it will always be in your game It has a shit-ton of stuff in it ... including its own spells.

So now we have an amazing looking character who is the build you really wanted to play how you want to play. What now?

We now want to change the look of the game with one simple mod called Vivid Weathers

with the right settings you should not need an EMB this works that well and frees up dealing with weather and lighting mods this does it all. Really? Yes really see my pic.

This ends part 2 but will continue this series in part 3

Also please if you have questions PM me don"t ask here the club is for showcasing only.
