guide Skyrim SE for Beginners - V 3.2.6 (Outdated)

[arshesney]

Yes, make sure the xml files from 3BA aren't overwritten by other mods. It is fine for SiNFUL to overwrite .ini. If you followed the install order from the guide you shouldn't have any problems.

God, it worked! Beautifully. All the fancy clothing finally fit and the ugly belly bulge is gone too. I cannot thank you enough for reminding me to give 3BBB CBBE Body Amazing another try. Cheers mate!

Miniupdate

I'm using the equivalent in FO4 and it does help there. So i guess its counterpart for Skyrim is useful too.

 

Adding Skyrim Priority SE to the list (SKSE) and the last status update.

Unfortunately, my joy was short-lived. After the first intercourse the ugly belly bulge came back. In fact, uglier than ever. I tried everything, but can't get rid of it. Now I remember why I got stuck with the CBBE Body Special (I've been away from the game for a while), as it was the only CBBE body that gave me proper round inflated belly. In all other aspects, 3BBB CBBE Body Amazing is better, but this abomination (the bulge) is a total deal breaker. Damn...

I'm using:

CBBE             - Heavy armor

CBBE Physics - Light armor

CBBE Special - anything else

Clothing is either 'Physics' or 'Special'.

 

So far everything works fine.

Anyone experiencing breast physics bug where the breast stretch up like the physics isn't effecting it properly?  Is this a HDT-SMP, CBP, CBPC issue or the new 3BBB possibly causing the conflict with the outfit.  It's working fine with PC but not NPCs.

you mean where the nipples are static to the floor regardless if you are standing, running or crouching? (i.e. the tips of the breasts are always x amount from the floor regardless of what your pc is doing? i've had that issue a few times, it's a skeleton issue if i remember right, i haven't had it in a long time, might try looking about page 30ish? or just look at what i posted and see what i did (if i even remembered to post what i did to fix it) But i know i posted a screenshot

@Aylis This looks like a very nice addon for Dirt and Blood. Fixes the soap seam that has bothered me for eons now.

Are KS Hairdos SMP compatible again or have those been permanently cut?

Are you talking about the breast weight painted hair mod? You can't use the AIO (they may have fixed it by now) but you can use the ks hairdos version, it's the apachi hair version that was messed up. Or, i'm completely missing which mod and am just talking out of my ass.. ?

I really haven't had any issues with it recently still be rocking it for awhile now and I haven't seen the hair physics glitch that stretches it out.

[unnameable]

I am still figuring this out ...any ideas?

Hello everyone, does anyone knows which animation file name that control basic movement? Like walking, sprinting, crouching, jumping,... etc ( not related to fighting, magic ). I want to mix a bunch of animation mod and some of them have bad basic animation but good fighting animation. Thanks everyone for reading.

[alaunus01]

If you have to ask where/what the animation files are chances are pretty good your modding skilllevel is not sufficient enough to mix match those at ease.

There's no "main" animation file, but names are pretty verbose, for example: walking animations are mt_walkforward, -backwards, etc.

@Aylis Hoo boy, this is a confusing one. Skyrim 2020 Parallax has updated and changed its structure entirely. Whereas before there was Part I and Part II (and we only needed Part I), now there is a Part III, and the landscape files that were Part II are now listed as Part I (with Part II as Architecture and Part III as Other). I'm guessing now we need to download parts II and III going forward, and not part I (landscapes). I'm going to stick with the old version (still available) for now, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Been playing around w presets and character creation and have some issues with eyebrows.  What appears to be the dozen or so brows from ESL High Poly Pretty Face Brows StandAlone do work well enough, but they have a limited number of shapes available and give poor color matches to hairs.  The other three dozen or so eyebrows that show updon't work with the high poly head - they sit very high on the face, almost at the character's hairline.  Maybe I'm just missing something...

 

Anyway, my question is: does anyone have suggestions for better brows for the high poly head?  I've used Hvergelmir Brows and SG Eyebrows for High Poly Head in the past and found it to be prerequisite heavy and not all that great but, hey, that's where I'm leaning at this point..

[unnameable]

Whelp, I could not solve the issue I has having. I started over, going thru the list items again.

I've managed to install everything and went for a test run before running Dyndolod... now I get CTDs before the title menu

This is starting to feel like marriage- the more I do it, the worse I get at it. ?

[Tiemphyx]

@unnameable  No missing master warnings?

 

In the end, this build is all about making the left pane agree with the install order and making the right pane plugin order reflect that.   Only a very few patches and fomod addon plugins need to be adjusted.  None of which would cause your ctd.

@Tempfiks
No missing masters and I use the "Sync plugin" script to arrange the load order.

As a test, I deactivated nearly all the mods except for Alternate Start. I get a black window with the intro music. Monitor flickers occasionally like its adjusting something via hardware.

@Tempfiks I would look search for "preset" on Nexus and look at all of the high poly presets people have built. If you see one with brows closer to what you like, look and see what the requirements of that preset are and that might point you towards something you'll like better. That's what I would do anyway.

 

@unnameable That sounds like a serious underlying issue. Maybe just reinstall, but before that I would enable one section of mods at a time. Start with just the ones under "Foundation". See if it works, then move on to the next section, "SKSE Extensions". Repeat until you get back to having the same problem. Then you'll know which sections has the mod that's causing the issue and you can troubleshoot one-by-one from there. That's assuming you can get it to boot at all though, which it sounds like you may not be able to with a crash like that. Also, very nice avatar.

[Tiemphyx]

@wollboi Thanks, but searching presets is something of a black hole of dependencies and they generally don't seem to translate well across builds.  I was just asking if someone had something they knew worked well here. I'll probably just go with plan B first and then browse the brows of hi poly....

 

@unnameable V Sorry to hear that, I agree with wollboi, there's something basic wrong.  Make sure your .ini's are right, etc and, if you haven't been there already, go to:

Best of luck, keep plugin

[unnameable]

@wollboi @Tempfiks Yea, I'll just reinstall since the base game won't run.

I may or may not have messed up some settings in the ini file. ENB settings are what I did differently this time around.

I was using Beth.ini, but there are some settings that are easier to edit from the MO2 ini editor. Perhaps using both messed something up?

Edited June 18, 2021 by unnameable

[wollboi]

@unnameable Possibly. I've never really had much of a use for Bethini. I'd run Skyrim right out of the box with no changes, ENB included. Then maybe replace with Aylis's ini file, see if that works, then add your ENB, then add Aylis's ini file. Then start with the Foundation section, see if it runs, repeat as necessary. While it's annoying searching for problem mods, it's going to be a much easier fix if that's all it is. Like you said earlier, you can leave Live Another Life for convenience sake.
