Master?

*turns around*

Where?

 

 

True. But it can backfire spectaculary.

 

Thats exactly why i hated DD so much. I was very happy when i could remove it.

For those interested in FO4. You can start to download the first 5 8 groups (the orange line is where you should stop) of my Fallout IV for Beginners. I'll continuously update the guide within the next few days (thankfully the worst part is already done).

 

I have a friend that loves playing FO4 but has a small child, can those mods that aren't kid friendly be marked please? 

[Aylis]

@ascendentkunglao

Check the last entry of the 'Status Update'. There's one i'm considering to add.

 

 

@jaeos

Then i'd have to mark every single entry.

 

But seriously, the whole game with all the blood and gore isn't for small children. Especially with all the textures that make it even more obvious.

 

 

Btw. more than 50% done.

nah, he plays cod etc and his dad has no issues with it, just the sex stuff is what he would be worried about, the kids got skyrim on xbox (i think or a ps4)

@jaeos

That's easy. Don't use my (upcoming) predone bodyslides and skip the group LL.

Any idea why my game freaked out and started just spinning my character around into oblivion like the physics engine freaked out.

@Aylis New update to SSE Display Tweaks is kinda ... fucky. I'm not a fan. Puts it in a weird windowed mode. I rolled back to the old version. Probably worth taking a look at. Author explains changes here:

Not sure what to make of it. They are talking a lot about G-Sync. But i don't own a card from NVidia so i can't really test that.

The entire game then as it is flagged as PEGI 18+, therefore non of it is small child friendly.

Yeah. I do have an Nvidia card and monitor that both support G-Sync and I've never noticed any tearing with the old version. Maybe if someone didn't put an FPS cap? But I'm just guessing there. I have full faith the author knows what they're doing (and has more knowledge about than I certainly do), but I just really don't dig the default bordered window and am far too lazy to fiddle with it.

Can confirm what wollboi said, theres no tearing/missing frames in the old version, (own an asus monitor and a RTX3070) , the new version have some weird stuff, i tried to fix it meedling with files but it didnt work, had to roll back. Maybe is meant for an older gpu? i have a 1050TI on a box and another pc that i use to work, i will test it later and see how it goes.

Pd: Installed Rally's Civil War Document Tubes, works just as intended.

So there's a black box with my health bar in the top left corner, anyone know what could be causing that?

I would agree that he's to young for all the violence etc, but he's not my child, and since his parent has deemed it is ok for him to view violence and curse words PEGI has no standing.

A screenshot hidden in a spoiler tag (the eye) would be useful. Off the top of my head though it's something in your UI

I've had that happen alot recently. Like every time i'm changing cells near water (morthal)

@Aylis I just found out that the default reference skeleton that Bodyslide uses is different from the one provided by "Better Female for XPMSSE". I wonder if I build bodyslide using female skeleton from XPM would result in any difference?

Just want to ask if you know anything about reference skeleton because my google skill fails me on this one.

 

@1001nights Do you have any problem with npc faces, I see that prostitution mod also edit some npcs facegen?  After checking with xEdit, some NPC will have their High Poly Overhaul edit reverted

[Aylis]

@akadeadpool

'Better Female' uses XPMSSE as its foundation and changes a few details. So it is almost the same skeleton and it shouldn't make much of a difference.

[Jessica_Degurechaff]

@Aylis Im sorry for bothering once more, but.. i remade all the tools (terain lod, tex gen, dyndolod, Ambiet oclusion) because since i started following this guide i feel like the trees feel wrong? I mean up close and in the woods they look really good (extremely good) but from a bit far they look strange? like theres something wrong with the lod, it could be just me since i have a problem in the way i see colors, but i still feel that something its wrong just by looking at your screenshots. 

I tried to solve it on my own swapping the options on the mod page of Enhanced Vanilla Trees (tried all 3 main files: vanilla, custom large, the other custom large) , with the same outcome each time, i made sure that every tool was properly configurated and also made sure to clean cache each time, the only thing i changed was the size of the LODS texture (on both Dyndolod and texgen) to 2048, nothing else... or it could be just me as i said avobe, it would be great if you just confirmed if theres something wrong or its just me, and sorry for bothering you, really, but im out of ideas.

Judge by yourself: (in the pics i was using the custom large option since thats what i have installed right now but as i said on all options they feel the same, i just cant re run the tools since i have work) (btw, do i need to Rerun Terrain LOD, Texgen, Dyndolod, AO, or *just* terrain lod each time i change trees?)

If you tell me that its just me and im literally seeing things then sorry for wasting your time, thanks again for the guide. and sorry bothering you.?

Yeah. My simple solution is just to install the Gigolo/Prostitution Mod just before the npc mods and the mods which change taverns etc.  (JK's) and just moving the esp on the right side down. With that, every standard entry will be overwritten with your npc/location mods but you can still enjoy that sweet mod without messing with xEdit.

 

Of course you can copy those entries yourself into the esp of the gigolo mod, but i dont trust myself enough to NOT destroy anything else lol

Can't really tell from the pics. It should look like this (i include a screenshot of the map):

I guess its just me then, i still see something on some of the trees in comparison to yours, but it could be just me, im color blind to certain degrees. For me they lack deph, like again, if the lod was wrong. Im used to people telling me im in the wrong and just seeing things so i totally will belive you if you say that.

But theres defenitly an extra tree on my screen that its not in yours tho
And the water haves a weird reflection (changed the weather and time and it still had it, the white line near the shore, its preset even at night)
 
thanks again for your help man, im sorry.  

 

Spoiler

Edit: So i think i fixed most of my problems with the trees, they still look a bit iffy for me but im sure thats just me now, the only problem i have left its the weird glow/reflection at the shore on lakes, besides that i think its all good? i may swap back to large lush trees out of preference, but nothing else.

@Jessica_Degurechaff

The golden glow is supposed to be the reflection of the sun. Sadly it doesn't check for fog and or weather and i havn't found something for that (yet).

 

The whitish area in the distant area of the lake seems to be AO related.

Well, at least its a patch fast and easy to run. But i see nothing to change here, its just as yours:


I can live with it tho, since it just happens at lakes, but if you know how to fix it, let me know, i have tried a lot now.

Will try once more later tomorrow:  uninstalling everything and reinstalling again, since well, i dont have anything to lose and everything its already downloaded, if that does not fix it i give up

Edit: Reinstalled the Rudy fixes, one of the archives on MO2 was corrupted (error reading the archive) i think that was the error, but im still going to reinstall everything to see if i can get around some stuff that that i dont like, sorry for tipying so much im sure you already have a lot going on.

Hello everyone,

 

i followed this guide for the last two weeks to get my Skyrim game to the same level as shown in the pictures. First of all i wan to thank you for the time you've put in to make clear and easily understandable instructions.

 

Sadly im stuck. I tried to follow the guide as good as possible. Im currently at the "FINAL" part. The problem is installed rudy's ENB but when i go ingame. The SKY and is super birght and everything looks washed out.

 

Do you have any idea what i did wrong? A reason could be that i at first misinterpreted the guide and installed the "MANUAL" part of the Rudy ENB via Mod organizer (add to archive).  I only now realized my mistake. I then copied the files from the manual part into my skyrim root DATA Folder. Maybe i have to resintall Cathredals Weather PART I and PART II again?

 

Help is greatly aprreciated

Hello there, i created this account to ask this since im a bit confused with something:

I already had my skyrim up to date with this guide a good time ago, but i updated my pc so i have to start the whole guide again. This is my first post since the last time i had a friend helping me but not now, so i apologize if my questions sound dumb. I try to do the best on my own but sometimes you just have to ask.

@Aylis When installing Dyndolod... gamer Poets recommend it to have it like this  https://imgur.com/tmQpjoT  but i do remember that when i used it like this it caused some lods (especially on buildings on Solitude and WhiteRun) to flicker like a bad ported game, what would you recommend me to pick? And im sorry the very dumb question, im still learning. 


And Majestic Mountains  .. should we pick none for the sun direction since we will be using ENB? what you recommend?




(thank you so much for this guide)

I'm honestly not seeing any major issues, they are foggy? as in they are not quite as.. detailed as they should be. It's hard for me to get a random concept into usable words, sorry.
