@Aylis Should i wait for the next update or the guide its polished since the last one? Sorry for bothering you. 

The only thing that will have an impact is 'Just Ice' (i'm testing this one now).

 

Everything else, that i think is good enough, won't be a problem to add later.

@wollboi

Happy to hear that you like it. :)

 

I only hope the ice textures will fix the few spots i wasn't happy with. Other than that it is now only emptying my test list and then finetuning (plus looking for hidden bugs). Unless something awesome drops again...

And Triumvirate - Metric Units Patch just dropped. Added to the list and the last 'Status Update'.

 

Btw. i just saw Odin - Skyrim Magic Overhaul. Some asked for a magic overhaul, but Apokalypse is too much for my taste. This one on the other hand looks fine. Also we got the required patches, and an addon for the metric system also exists. What do you guys and gals think?

 

I don't play mages so i can live happily without it, but that at the same time makes me not the best judge for it. ;)

Skyrim magic system is just icky. Unless you want to decimate the population on a regular basis damage spells are a big no no until you can get that perk that avoids friendly fire and by that time it's usualy easier just to stick with 'drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword'.

 

Most of my worst skyrim memories are stupid magic spells snowballing into a aggro murder rampage.

The Odin mod is new and the Author announced temporary break so I think if anyone wants this mod, you should wait a few months and read mod post for all potential problems.

Everything looks great, but now I'm prone to screen freezes though no CTDs.  I have a good video card with plenty of memory, so it shouldn't be that.  An ENB issue?  An INI adjustment needed?

You're not giving us much information to work with...

I'm not sure what else I can add.  I take my PC out for a test run.  As stated earlier, everything looks fine and everything appears to be running smoothly when all of a sudden, the screen freezes.   I then have to ctrl-alt-delete to turn off SSE.  I never have CTDs.  This seems to be the primary issue.

You could follow this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/articles/368/

 

No guarantee the issue will appear or to be obvious to troubleshoot but it is a start.

Had a question what version of ENB Light did you use? Cause there is a lot of different versions on that mod page.

I'm at 0.95. Might have missed an update or two. <- Not really, but i'll add the info to the list. Done

 

I found out that its actually the 0.98 Alpha 2. Cause its the only one that matches your install options.

Open the just installed mod.

Select the said file.

*rightclick* Copy

Click somewhere in the folder.

*rightclick* Paste

Select the copy of the file.

*rightclick* Rename

Enter its new name.

That for example was an important missing tidbit. Before it was just freezing...

 

This might happen (rarely) in a Bethesda game. But if it happens repeatedly it points to a script/python-overload or a hardware issue. Check for overheating, driver- and windowsupdates, and free RAM. Also let windows handle the swapfile (in case the setting was changed) and have enough space there.

The lighting during the day heavily depends on the time, the cloudcover and of course the weather. A rainy day can become quite dark and a sunny day very bright. But i strongly suggest to check you settings in Windows (there is a calibration tool for the screen) and the brightness setting in Skyrim itself.

 

Regarding the flickering. Your description is a bit short and it could be anything...

Added two recommended tools to 'Preinstallation' and added a reminder about VC++. This could cause a few issues in the long run.

 

And i found a nice video from Wazalang (the tree setup is partially based on his tips) and it is very close to what you should have on screen..

Rudy ENB for Obsidian Weathers and Seasons | Skyrim SE 2020 - YouTube

It is funny when you immediately recognize specific mods he used in his build.

 

Hah, I'm in the middle of a total reinstallation and I'm taking notes-- things that need to be copied directly into the folder, things that are unclear, things with a billion FOMOD options and no instructions-- and my biggest note was that every time i come back to do a reinstall or send this tutorial to friends, I completely forget how to install Rudy ENB lol. Glad it's there now!

Don't be too hasty...

 

Found the solution for the glowing creatures (trolls, wolves, bears, etc) and some other spots.

But that requires an update of the shaders.

The shaders are sort of incompatable to Rudy for Obsidian.

So i have to switch to Rudy for Cathedral Weathers.

But Cathedral Weathers is incompatable to a few other mods.

So those have to be removed/replaced as well.

And so on...

 

One small necessary change causing a chainreaction of other changes... and i start to juggle with mods and patches.

 

On the plus side we get a better looking snow, better weather, 'normal' (aka not so dark) dusk and dawn, beautiful interiors, creepy dungeons and all the fixes the new shader brings along. Plus Rudy modified 'Window Shadows', 'DVLaSS' and a few other mods so they work even better with his ENB.

 

With that done all issues on my list of 'mini-bugs/visuals' are resolved. I just have to wrap up the companion questline so i can start Dawnguard (then i can test the new mods for Serana).

My game tells me there is new version of ENB 0.453 but I don't know if it's just for oldrim or both SE and oldrim?

Those are separate pages, but there's no 0.453.

Let me elaborate: where i can find 'mountainslab01.dds after a bit of trying i guess is the one inside the "Filetree" on the mod itself on MO2, but then how do i "copy it"? I tried to just grab it and put it on other place and it kind of works, but then i cant put the renamed version back in, do i need to make a rar out of the renamed file and then install it as a mod? or what?

Sorry for being dense

*rightclick* on the installed mod - then use 'open with explorer'.

Ugh. Just realized Shield Sisters uses its own custom texture layout, not the default one. Which is fine if you're using Bijin Skin, but meh. We need an equivalent to the Bijin Your Textures for this one.

!!! Don't use "Improved Rain and Fog for Cathedral Weathers". My preset is designed for a pure Cathedral Weathers mod and for its volumetric effects. Foggy and rainy weather are changed by ENB and don't need to be corrected with external modifications !!!

!!! For the same reason, I do not recommend using Supreme or True Storms !!!

It's a stack failure, after i redid all of my LL mods to the current ones i get them about the time a scene ends, and need to ctrl+alt+del to force close skyrim. I just have not bothered in going backwards on all the mods in the LL section one at a time to find the Issue. But since it it tied to animation, i'm suspecting it's possibly baka or possibly the idle animations not playing well with the LL section. But since i haven't been able to actually do much in the way of playing (maybe an hour every other day)( i get up at 4am, drive to work an hour away at 5, get to work at 6, leave at 6 pm, drive home, eat shower etc, and go to bed at 9) I just haven't messed with locating the issue. To note. It's probably a script heavy mod that isn't on the "approved" list like deadly drain since it was a port from LE and the scripting wasn't really great in LE to begin with. My suggestion is go back and whatever mods you added that are not on the standard list, shut them off re-run fnis/nemesis if needed (deadly drain has 3 animations for neck biting/kissing) and try it from there, if you can play all day and not have a screen lock, add a mod back in. if you get screen freeze, that's the issue.

To note. no it doesn't always happen when a scene ends, it could be at the start, or even just running down the road. but it didn't happen until i updated some mods to the current ones and added baka animations.
