God luck with the potential job!

[wollboi]

@Aylis Couple of quick comments:

1 - Good luck with the interviews!

2 - Rudy More Lights for Soulgems now has a patch to work with Rustic Soulgems

3 - Follower Trap Safety is a godsend and I never had any problems with it.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

It has always been only the patch that we need.

 

So far followers triggered every trap in the area. Good to know that this works.

_______________________________________________

 

Btw. got the job (getting payed for something you like doing is great ). Will start there next month.

 

[DarkDragoon197]

@Aylis

congrats on the new job.

1. Skyrim sewers 4 has always been in my load order  haven't seen no problems with it.  I think last year you said No to it, do to some gaps in cells? I could be mistaken though.

2. as for follower trap safety I use nethers follower framework  that has it built in for vanilla followers, custom followers ( if OA was smart would have them inculded with light foot perk)

3.  a good follower you should try is inigo  he's worth it and very funny with lydia. lol  don't control him with any follower framework mod

 

And lastly I got my LE CK working  so remaking my follower their  SSE version broke on me yesterday  don't know if it was the HPH or what but could not change anything on follower without CK crashing.  I be off work this whole weekend  might try a live stream if i can set it up.

Hello, I was wondering if it would be ok to integrate the Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul to the load-out? I'm really into making poisons and stuff. If not, could you please recommend any possible alternatives? Thank you!

[Aylis]

@Dirknina

Yep, but it got an update so i'll give it another chance as i do like the idea of the mod.

 

 

@gewgleme

It should work. The only problem could be the changes to the alchemy tree. Ordinator changes that one too so maybe a patch is required.

______________________________________________

 

Added a few more pics

[jaeos]

@Aylisso what job did you get? Not specifics like company etc but you do what now?

@gewgleme and here is the patch for it HERE. look for ordinator_caco in the list 

[gewgleme]

@Aylis

@jaeos

 

Perfect, thank you both, Yeah I figured the patch would be inevitable. Its just running so damn smooth I didn't want to break anything else haha.

I'm using the EVA preset, but my physics bounce too much for my liking - how would I go about decreasing the movement of the breasts?

Reinstall the CBPC with firmer physics.

You should be able to edit it in sinful cbp in the mcm 

[wollboi]

@Aylis - But now it's beeeeeter.

That's weird about Follower Traps.. They never triggered traps when I used it, but that was a year ago when I played with it. I'm wondering if they trigger tripwire traps but not stepped-on-the-tile traps (or both)?

Majestic Mounts BDS with LOD is claiming the new update means we don't need Dynamic Ash Replacer. If that's true, it's one less .esp.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

I'll take a look.

I actually found the issue - it was a corrupt download through MO2, which didn't link the texture path to the mesh path >.<

Redownloaded and now works perfectly. Thanks for your help!

[Guest]

@Aylis This is such a great mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18515 (3PCO 3rd Person Camera)

And the patch for Alternate Conversation camera - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40992

[Aylis]

Maybe later. Atm i'm trying to find the cause of some random CTD. Will have to (re)check a few mods longer than originally planned.

_________________________________________________

 

So its rolling back to the last official update and then slowly adding the new ones...

 

Often enough it is a seemingly unrelated mod that causes the issues. So if i'm slower to answer it is because i'm digging through mods again.

[johnny0183]

@Aylis

 

My current list already has Dlizzio's Mesh Fixes and SMIM Furniture Improvement in it and so far I haven't seen any strange CTD's. So unless it's because of a very specific combination of mods I'd say they're stable.

 

I have to admit that while I follow most of your list I did leave a few choices out and I added quite a lot too (at 249 eps + ems, even had to merge some mods). Though I would say that would sooner make it more unstable than the other way around.

 

---

 

Some mods you might find interesting for your list:

 

• Pandorable's NPCs
  Pandorable's NPCs - Dragonborn
  Pandorable's NPCs - Dawnguard - these are a nice add to Bijin's NPC overhauls. The author purposefully avoided any NPCs covered by Bijin so they are perfect next to eachother.
• Sexlab Furniture Sex Framework - allows sex scenes to actually use objects in the room like chairs, enchanting labs etc.
• Alduin's Imprefvicticious and Chapper's Demonic Retexture mashup - a pretty nice looking overhaul for Alduin (comes in different colors)
• A Thief's Resolve - unfortunately only via Bethesda and not available on Nexusmods but it ads a (really well hidden stash in most dungeons. Makes exploring all those familiar dungeons a new experience again.
• Rayek's End - SSE Expanded Edition - I use this as a replacement for both Eli's Breezehome and the Riverwood cottage. It has plenty of displays for unique items and has a pleasant feel to it.

---

 

While Sexlab definitely has it's good points I found it a bit lacking in it creating scenes between NPC's. Arousal Based Matchmaker does work I didn't find it that reliable. This made me look at adding, among others, The Secret Lives of Skyrim NPCs 2.0 to my list. This is a Flower Girls mod. So far I haven't found any major issues running these mods too (I do load them before any Sexlab mod making sure those take priority in case of conflict).

Maybe not something you personally want to add to the list but it might be interesting to know that they can be added.

[wollboi]

Racemenu updated, and lots of people are complaining of random CTDs (me included, with existing saves or with new ones). Just a heads up.

 

Edit: Rolling back to previous version fixed issue, so it's definitely the update. Hold off on updating.

[DarkDragoon197]

TY @wollboi. Was about to update it saved me some trouble.

 

I almost got my LE profile made up to start modding and installed just Nemesis it did make a dummy fnis.esp. can anyone test and see if we can get away with no fnis main or creatures in aylis list. It would open some more options for animations and overhauls.  

[wollboi]

No FNIS = No creature behavior = count me out.

[Aylis]

It's crashing when the player kills a dragon, or enter some specific dungeons (with me, happened in Bleak Falls Barrow, Folgunthur and Forelhost). It's happening in the Skyrim worldspace too (near Dragon Bridge), for some people.

 

NetScriptFramework and Papyrus logs also did not show anything about those crashes, which made it a pain in the neck for me, I've found that was RaceMenu only after a few hours of testing the mods one by one, then reverted to previous version and CTDs were gone.

With the two new mods for the UI:

I can't even remember how often i accidently hit 'Quicksave' or 'Mods' (which are thankfully gone now).

That ... may just be ... the best mod I've ever seen.
