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

[Temphyx]

@jaeos Sorry if you feel this is an undue request.  It's simple enough to do and resolves many issues.  With all due respect, why the angry response?

Armor rating redux vs Resistances Rescaled ,    Sorry if I missed something but does RR do everything that ARR does  ? or should I have both ?

i don't know if i should be offended by being called neurotypical or giggle that someone actually whipped that term out in a forum on a site dedicated to making animated porn.. ?‍♂️?

 

You shouldn't . neurotypical is the norm nor does it have anything to do with the enjoyment of the female form or other kinks . I was only indicating I have a deficit that often causes awkwardness in casual social situations

@Temphyx To stick my neck out a little, I do actually agree with you that posting some screen shots of the current official load order (in spoilers, of course) could be beneficial. I would actually look at that occasionally myself. I remember that you brought this up before, and I hope it is considered. It would likely cut down on some questions.

 

I did not read Jaeos' response in an angry tone, though. They are basically right.

 

Maybe some kind soul can create a decent version of the load order (screenshot, list, link, something?), though this is Aylis' guide and they absolutely should have the say on... just about everything. I would not be a candidate to create the load order thing. My current load order is very different than this guide, though it overlaps quite a bit.

 

I just appreciate following along as I am still learning and am only medium skilled at best.

[trgdolors]

@Auxitism Your comment that the guide has been "updated, but not maintained" is not totally wrong right now, though the recent history has been highly unusual. Aylis was unavoidably out for an extended period of time until just recently. Normally, they pretty much seemingly dedicate their life to this thing, and we all owe much to their perseverance. Yes, we all have had comments, questions, ideas and requests not go how we would like, but generally this forum is helpful, friendly, and drama-free. That's why many of us are here. Even [breaks fourth wall] those of you lurking.

 

Also, the SE/AE thing has shaken up the whole community.

 

Now, Loot? I think most of us use it. Like you said, it is a great tool, just don't only rely on it. You can run it without saving, and check it's advice. It has saved me a lot of work several times. It also has been wrong occasionally. I wish it could handle a custom static load order like this guide, but with added mods, better than it does. It does have custom rules that work pretty well, if one is truly dedicated. I should add, Loot and this guide guaranteed do not get along without so much Loot tweaking that you are better off just following the guide.

 

As for the butterflies? Sorry, I have no idea, but I did see (and install) this yesterday: Lepidopteran Invasion SE. We will see how it goes.

 

Thanks to everyone here for continuing to share your knowledge so freely!

I was only posting in response to someone else with those remarks . Being sympathetic . I have nothing but gratitude for the guide and the people here . Nothing is owed . All is free . Nothing but thanks . I was only stating reality .

 

That mod looks cool . Something about butterflies that makes a world magical lol

Hi @Alkzis, sorry for your troubles, I know how frustrating it can be.  My best guess for both your problems is that you're looking at mesh conflicts resulting from mod list (left pane) and plugin (right pane) load order errors.  My first suggestion would be to disable any non-Aylis list mods you may have in the left pane  (mainly those that might change things in the worldspace)  and then make sure that the remaining mods are all in the order they are presented on page 1.   Next, go through and correct the order of all the right pane plugins to match the order of the modlist.  Do it manually, do not trust LOOT for this crucial step.  Let me know if you've tried this or if this helps.

Good Luck!

 

Oh yeah i rely on Sync Pluging to help me with this and then manually go on each mod (on the guide) to check any "move this down/up/ or deactivate"  the thing is that everything is ok, im just going to reinstall the whole texture section and hope for the best.

And about personal aditions to the list that may cause issues the only world/texture change would be a few statues that i like more (fem ver of talos for example) but the first thing that i thought when i found this werid overly black thingy was to deactivate them and rebuild DynDOLOD/Texgen, i did and nothing changed, im pretty much out of ideas besides reinstall the whole texture thing or the entire guide (much easier when you already have a LoadOrder back up and every mod downloaded)

The chairs tho as been an issue since the first time i followed this guide (over a year ago) but its ok i can live with something so minor *
..
Im about to start with this, man, i wanted to play-.

Between these 2 mods Arousal Based MatchMaker  and Random Sex Mod. Which one is more performance friendly?

I'd say ABM, definitely, unless things have changed dramatically in the last couple of updates.  But, that said, not sure ABM plays well with SLEN all the time.  TBH, haven't used RSM in over a year but default values were insane at that time.  See what others here think...

Anyone able to weigh in , I'm removing ARR as it seems redundant

Reading them it looks like they do almost the exact same thing ARR allows the usage of 3 different formulas while RR uses 2, ARR plays well with dibellian defender where being nude grants x armor based on level, so a level 10 with a 30 armor per level is 300 and is about 90% damage reduction at 10, i have not tried RR so can not comment on it. But you might run 2 profiles one with ARR and one with RR and do exact same build, try each on exact same fight (say moroiki for the staff of magnus) and compare the damage reductions on the same armor for both, one may let you be killed rather easily but the other does not.

@jaeosThanks 

 

I've discovered the " create seperator above " option in MO2 ....so satisfying lol

@Auxitism Yeah, I remember when I figured out the separators! It was great! It started my organizing of my ever growing load order. I still use them constantly!

 

One thing, though. Would you mind putting the screenshot in a spoiler? Every thread has its own unofficial rules... that happens to be one here. You probably already know, but the spoiler button is in the edit bar, the one that looks like an eyeball. Pretty cool feature when you get used to it!

You can select a color for the seperator. I'm using red. And I also give them a number (eg. 001 Foundation). I use the same numbers-name-combination for the folders where I download the mods to.

You download the mods and then move them to another folder with the separator designation on it? So MO2 doesn't control your downloads from nexus?

More or less, I download and install them manually.

we have stuff like this instead ? you can check out the local to my home by using either zip code 79703 or midland texas or if it really demands an address you can use 4214 Andrews Hwy #103, Midland, TX 79703. (it's an er clinic) 

[Aylis]

@jaeos

Texas? O.o

 

I only heard about the served size. What you call a 'children portion' is a big one here...

 

As i like good food that wouldn't be good for me (i'd gain so much weight). And now you got me to order a pizza... I blame that on you...

 

 

Totally worth it *nom nom nom*

I'm not fully understanding the Wrong Body and HIMBO presets.  When I ran the Wrong body presets for "Saints and Seducers" using the "CBBE Creation Club Outfits Bodyslides" I got a full output of NIFs and TRI files.  The armor fits my PC well and the BodySlide (BS) output overwrites the mod mesh NIFs.  When I run the HIMBO Hassan Preset and "NordwarUA's Unplayable Faction Armors - HIMBO Bodyslide" all I get are the TRI meshes; no overwrites.  These are part of the guide.  Same thing happens with Wrong Body presets and Sunjeong's TAWOBA, just TRI files and no overwriting mesh NIFs.  These are not part of the guide.

 

 

 

I'm using the Wrong body provided by Aylis and BodySlide outputs and have the presets.  I've never used 3BBB or HIMBO before and am wondering what I'm doing wrong building these armors for the Wrong Body and HIMBO.   I've double checked that Caliente Tools folders are present and complete for the mods I'm trying to build.  Definitely something I don't understand here.

 

If someone could please point me to an article explaining what I'm seeing or give some guidance on a fix for this, I'd be most grateful.
