guide Skyrim SE for Beginners - V 3.2.6 (3BBB / HDT-SMP / HPH)

[Aylis]

Never thought this would happen...

 

I found a texture mod that:

1. Improves the meshes of the mountains (way less Bethesda edges)

2. Gives us better textures

3. Includes all textures that got anything to do with rocks

4. Actually works with snow

 

Spoiler

Standard 'Majestic Mountains'

 

Improved 'Majestic Mountains'

I've been looking for something like this for years now...

@ascendentkunglao @kesryth Just chiming in to say I had the exact same issue with the same fix. The new patch fixed it all for me.

 

@Acornins DynDOLOD 3 seems much stricter about which folder it's happy operating in. I've just been running it from Downloads, but @jaeos's suggestion is better.

Not to throw water on this but both are beautiful to me. I love what you've done for the visuals and when I get my my new computer I'll follow your guide and join your Patreon.

 

Why do I like both versions?  Well the old Majestic Mountains look like the mountains I've seen around Ouray Colorado (sharper edges included) were silver was mined, lovely Vistas.  The improved version looks like the mountains in Yosemite with granite faces, just lovely too.  Google and you'll see what I'm saying.

 

Either way I'll enjoy.

Here is my load order after getting most of the stuff working, the only thing I CANNOT get to work is the Fnis/Nemesis even after following the directions. The Nemesis Output just doesn't override the FNIS Output.

I'm 10000% sure I likely have some stuff in the wrong place but I've been staring at MO2 for so long and numbers and names that it started to blend together.

Bonus

I got the DynDOlod figured out \o/..now it's just fnis and nemesis.

 

Minor edit - the reason I don't have the Rudy ENB in there is because the download page is down atm for updates.

 

Edit 2 -...ok for some reason it's working now even though nemesis output isn't overriding anything?? BUT I'LL ROLL WITH IT.

Anyone uses Sacrosanct instead of Better Vampires?

[FlufyFox]

i am having issue with draugr and falmer, using nemesis with fnis, eveyrthing works but on sexlab scenes they jsut stand on idle, they don t pose but normal idle, the rest is normal, and i have made the right way on running both, nemesis output have only human stuff, is there way to fix this ? Thanks :3

[ascendentkunglao]

My Jaree character in Solitude was actually using a normal human penis, maybe it's a load order thing but is there anyway to fix that?

[trgdolors]

There is a new version of Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE). Current SE build 2.0.20 (runtime 1.5.97). How does this affect us?

 

I assumed a new SKSE would come out when the Anniversary Edition is released on November 11, but that is a month from now.

Another user a good...100? pages ago made this video as a tutorial to help with this, i have always done this exact way and have always worked.
 

If i have time i will look for the author, but in case you got it working or not, save it somewhere.

[Jessica_Degurechaff]

Mmmh while installing YOT (Your Own Thoughts) we are supposed to activate manually the patch for "Inmersive Sounds" but we now also have Odin.. do we install the the one with ONLY inmersive sounds or also the one with odin?

[ascendentkunglao]

Still having issues with that area north of Dragons Bridge during the morning time as the sun's rising, super weird it's further down not as high up that path as I was prior.  Might be the shadows and lighting issue I suspect it to be.  Anyone want to try to see if it's an issue with them too.

very good question, i would like to know that aswell

[Aylis]

@remodel

Yeah, i'll propably add them as optional files as this is a matter of personal preference.

 

The issue i have is that the old MM textures often enough have a visible seam and the sometimes too low-poly edges. It's not gamebreaking but it is annoying enough (at least for me) to try to find a fix for it.

 

 

@Acornins

You got several problems in your LO.

Snowy Farmhouse has to be below the main ESP

The addon (elven eyes) has to be below the main mod.

I noticed those on a short glance, so there might be more...

 

A mod lower in the list takes priority over (aka 'overwrites') mods positioned higher in it.

 

 

@FlufyFox

Sounds like 'creatures' to me. 

 

I removed that part as it was breaking again and again and again after another update of one of the mods. I have spent way too much time on trying to repair something i'm not really interested in.

 

Too bad that we don't have a clear split between 'humanoid creatures' and 'creatures'. That would make at least the 'humanoid creatures' valid. 

 

 

@trgdolors

Wait with an update. Last time it broke quite a few other mods as they needed an update for it. In a week or two it should be fine. But when Skyrim AE comes out it might need another update...

 

 

@Jessica_Degurechaff

1. Videos belong into spoilers too...

2. No, that gets covered later. Two patches doing the same is an invitation for problems.

 

 

@ascendentkunglao

Did you deactivate DynDOLOD for a test?

Pretty much what i did just using screenshots rather than a video. I must have missed that video being posted.

@All

Small info: Rudy finished his update and the ENB is available again.

 

As the previously separate patches have now been integrated into the installer i have to move the required files below 'Dynamic Volumetric Lighting and Sun Shadows'. Plus adding instructions for the installation and removal of the old patches.

 

This makes the installation easier as we don't need to manually move and activate patches anymore. Done

 

Infos are included in the newest update

@FlufyFox Make you sure you have the correct FNIS Creature Framework (the one for SE, not LE). Before you run FNIS, make sure to click the middle button "De-Install Creatures". Despite being humanoid creatures, Draugr have done what you are describing for me and this fixed it.

 

@Jessica_Degurechaff It's-a me, Mario. I need to make a better one though, maybe the next time I run FNIS/Nemesis. I use the IS/Odin one. It probably doesn't matter either way.

Since i have SMP installed i put the first one, but Aylis said the last choice, the good thing about 3ba is you can re-install it and change it if you wish.

what do you mean, you sorted it? or did you click the top of a tab and it just looks out of order?
