You'll need both. But they can take a while to appear, so wait at the creation of the char 'til there are no more MCM messages showing up. This is my setup:

I recommend to setup and use hotkeys. Easier than having to cast a spell.

 

If it takes too long you can use the console command (see entry in 'Bugs Section').

I'll be adding high-end landscape textures. Those are for the lucky b*BEEEEEP!*s who got a really good video card.  Done

Even with the console command, even after half an hour, no MCM menu for 3BBB comes up. This even happens with the "new" settings in the fomod... ?

The worst part is it showed up, once, but after reloading the game it disappeared again. I can't recall exactly how I did that...

 

It's worked perfectly for me before, too! Argh!

[Aylis]

@stinky_lizard

Then you might want to remove the mod, clean the save game and reinstall it.

[fluorinium]

@Aylis

Alright, will do. Thanks for the help!

[alaunus01]

Keep in mind there is a hard cap for the amount of MCMs too.

 

Shouldn't be an issue if you followed the guide to the t but stranger things have happened.

[wollboi]

@stinky_lizard After you've checked that everything is installed correctly and it still doesn't show up, you can run this command from the console:

setStage ski_configManagerInstance 1

 

It will force the MCM menus to manually refresh. But I haven't had to do that in a year or more.

 

Also, there is something in the 3BBB MCM that gives you a Power to switch 3BBB from SMP to CBPC (think SMP is the way to go). You can toggle it back and forth at will. You did run Bodyslide, correct?

I'm going to pretend my 2080 is still top of the line and will upgrade my textures.

Two dumb questions:  

 

1.  WPF - JK Skyrim patch?   I'm drawing a blank on "WPF"

 

2.  After installing update mods, will it be necessary to  redo:   Bashed Patch?  Dyndolod?

[wollboi]

@rodrigo2

1 - Wikiz Parallax Farmhouses. When you install it, get the patch for JK's Skyrim.

2 - I rerun Wrye after every update. DynDOLOD needs to be ran after every outdoors texture update (rocks, trees, etc.). It would need to be run after this last update.

It makes no sense to run the tool before all textures are installed. They are listed when they are needed.

I really appreciate your patience & guidance.

Been a while since I've been elbow-deep in mods like this so it takes time to shake off the rust. Had anyone tested/tried SexLab Dangerous Nights 2 as part of this loadout? If not, I volunteer as tribute.

[rodrigo2]

Two questions:

 

1.  Is a texture mod for "Wispmother" going to be added?

 

2.  Also, I've had no problem with Wet and Cold; why was it pulled?  Is something replacing it?

There already is one (see 'LL').

 

Yep, RASS is replacing it.

Here's a screenshot with the enhanced ice and snow from the high end textures:

Sorry if this is a dumb question as I may be misunderstanding how some of these tools work, but does this modlist have the functionality of allowing you to individually customize certain NPC's bodies? For example, if I wanted Lydia to be tall and skinny in her default skin as well as in every outfit, and I wanted Jordis to be short and busty in everything, is that possible? From what I gather, Bodyslide lets you edit bodies and outfits, but those changes are applied across the board.

[Aylis]

@watching1919

I've tried several mods for that. Sadly they all had issues.

 

Maybe there will be a mod for that at a later date, but for now there's none i can recommend.

@Aylis I made the switch. Looks great, especially snowy areas. I think it makes the roads a little harder to see near Falkreath but that could be my imagination. I still get 45-60 fps outside, which is about what I got before. I may be getting my hands on a 3080 this weekend. It would be fantastic to play at a solid 60 with all these 4-8k textures. (Or above 60 if Bethesda's ****ing engine got updated once every twenty years).

 

@watching1919 I think you're best bet would be to mess around with the Creation Club. Something that seems so easy ends up being pretty complicated.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

Must be my old card then.

 

For the roads you could replace More Dirt-Snow-Ash on the Roads with its separate versions. Just don't take the dirt one.

 

 

@BlueInkAlchemist

I tried that one. I removed it as it started to get annoying.

Damn I'm rolling on a 1070 and i've been installing things mostly at the 4K range. Granted that's still not a card to sneeze at and I've got the processing power to back it up with an i7 8086 but i uh cheaped out on RAM so I guess I'll just have to see how this shakes out (if it ever shakes out-- I finished the Textures section on the 14th and it's now the 17th and the second time since I've gone back to add more from an update since I move so slowly)

[wyatt542]

So when I went to create the bashed patch in Wyre Bash I screwed the pooch and accidentally had it change the load order of everything. Am I SoL and need to drag and drop everything or is there a miracle button that I'm not seeing to put it back to how it was?

[wollboi]

@wyatt542 You screwed no pooches. It's supposed to move your plugins around. Or did you mean it moved your mod list around?

 

If the latter, yes you'll need to move everything around and no there is no really useful sort unless you made a backup of your load order before running Wrye. The easiest way to get them back in the correct order would be to disable all of them, then start at the top of the guide (DLC-Cleaned), right click and send to bottom, find the next one (xLOD Terrain), right click and send to bottom. Continue that for each mod and eventually you'll end up with DLC-Cleaned back at the top and everything else in the given order. It's a pain but it doesn't take as long as you'd think. Put this on in the background and it'll all be better.

Spoiler

 

 

@unknownwake I should've been clearer, but really I get between 50-55 consistently. Every once in a while it'll dip down to 30 for a few seconds, but it's a ten year old game. After the recent additions of xLODGen it seems like the framerate is faster outdoors anyway. Indoors it's 60fps rock solid (110 if I turn off the FPS cap, which is a very stupid thing to do). The reason I'm buying a 3080 for this game is I'm batshit insane, have a good deal of disposable income, and I like shiny things. And for other games obviously.

Hey Aylis,

 

since the Beards mot does not have compatibility for HPH I searched for a replacement and found this one:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/46990?tab=files

I haven't really checked it out yet but it looks very promising. Maybe give it a look

I would love to be able to cough up 2.000€ for a gpu. Sadly I am still waiting for the effing 5900x to reach non scalping price ranges.

 

And to be honest thanks to our friendly neighbourhood cryptominers gpu prices are beyond insane. Not to mention that current top of the line cards are not good enough for 4k gaming. Napkin math says processiong power of gpus still need to increase by a factor of 10 at least to make a decent 4k card.

On it.

 

Nope. Doesn't work as advertised and HPH already contains 45 beards.

With RASS in place of Wet and Cold, will NPCs still automatically put on hoods when it gets cold or rains?

 

[NEWWER]

Greeting!

Have a quick question : Am i understand correctly that....
Bright Waterfall Fix for ENB (actually it's Bright Waterfall Fix for Water for ENB) should be below Water for ENB due to it's fix patch?

No. Almost all hoods and cloaks are gone.

Thats correct. Did i misplace it in the list? Checking... ? Fixed

[wyatt542]

Hey I got another question.

How would I go about getting the GG bodyslides to all work. I read the wiki but I'm still not understanding. Do I need to select every option and run it or do I only pick one? Or how do I select the bodyslides I had downloaded, since I dont seem to see them in Bodyslide
