Skyrim SE for Beginners - V 3.2.6 (Outdated)


Recommended Posts

Posted

1. Added a warning to the mountains.

 

2. Nothing happens if you don't change those manually. So if you change something you should know what you're doing (or test the changes a lot and keep a backup).

 

3. Never had a problem with it... Plus i uploaded my modified ini files to prevent such problems.

Updating post #7212 Done

 

'HIMBO' is working fine. The following mods will be added:

Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul -HIMBO-

?Simply merge 'Core' and 'Refits'

?The 'Physics Addon' is NOT required

3D Pubic Hair for HIMBO

NordwarUA's Guards Armor Replacer - HIMBO Bodyslide

NordwarUA's Unplayable Faction Armors - HIMBO Bodyslide

 

Immersive Interactions - Animated Actions

 

 

Waiting for updates:

Paarthurnax - Quest Expansion

 

 

Checking atm:

Steel Falcon Armour Set                                                                       Replacement for 'DX Dark Knight'?

Steel Falcon Armour Set - Heavy Armor Patch

Headhunter - Bounties Redone

Posted (edited)

Whenever I look at Headhunter - Bounties Redone, i'd like to have it in my modlist but I have concerns:

- Browsing mod's forum, there seems to be problem with hair wig on bandit after being decapitated.

- The mod's feature seems to be similar to Handover feature from SL defeat. not sure if there's potential conflict.

 

Look like the mod author of Windows Shadow deleted his/her profile so the mod's going to be supported anymore. This will be a problem when trying to add interior mods now.

I'm up to the part of the list that goes

 

Skyrim 2018

?We only need the architecture and (optional) the chicken.

Skyrim 2020 Parallax

? Use V8.0

? DON'T download and use the file for landscapes.

HD Stockade

?Simply choose the resolution (plus the doors) and merge the files.

Ice Cave Parallax Improved

Skyrim Remastered - Caves

?Use a version with Parallax.

Skyrim 2020 Parallax - Roads

 ? Use V8.0

Skyrim 2020 Parallax - Whiterun Streets A2 

 ? Use V8.0

 

---

 

Skyrim 2018 installs a lot of core files (you can't uncheck them in the FOMOD) along with architecture and the chicken.

 

Skyrim 2020 Parallax only has version 8.0 available for Mountain Textures - with FOMod installer,  Blended Roads Retexture, White Run city Wall, and both Whiterun Street alternatives.  And if you want the 2K file (which I was planning on getting) you can only get Architecture, and Other, in a combined download with Landscape.   I'm not sure exactly what files to download from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2347?tab=files

Skyrim 2018:

Spoiler

Untitled.jpg.cc10efd2815d3ad8b5d4025392390fc6.jpg

What am i supposed to answer? You always need the main/core files and there are only two optional additions we need.

 

Btw. the FOMOD is V1.2 the files are the newest ones as there has been no update to them.

 

 

For the rest:

For now replace it with Pfuschers new files (see post 7195). Now #7212

 

But don't use DynDOLOD atm. There's a small glitch with the tiny ice blocks which i'm trying to fix.

@Aylis I take it that atm I only install No Grass In Objects and use it as it is without using cache grass feature, right?

Since you also add new JK interior overhaul mods, take a look at Window Shadows - Patches for JK's Interiors. Because the author of Windows Shadow has gone MIA, look like future JK stores will need someone else do the patching.

 

Btw, Sepolcri - DynDOLOD Patch is not a install and done type of mod. Of course reading the mod page would reveal that but just saying in case anyone miss it.

Posted (edited)

How is Himbo going to work with Simply Realistic Armor? Aren't we going to run into the same problem in Bodyslide as with female characters? Are we just running it for nude, Guards Armor, and Unplayable Faction?

 

Starting to really dislike SRA.

 

Edit - Holy shit, Nexus is offering a free 3080 to anyone who wants one:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/55448

 

Edit Edit - @akadeadpool Thanks, I would have missed that about the Sepolcri DynDOLOD patch. Yeah, that should definitely be annotated.

I assume we can do most of this guide update without starting a new game, right? Sorry, I haven't looked, but the newer LL versions probably have the same ESP names so we can just replace without issues (besides re-doing a lot of settings)?

 

Also, has anyone tried "eFPS - Exterior FPS boost" yet?

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54907

 

Edit: "Natural Skin Tones" has an ESP. Can we safely un-install mid-save?

 

Edit 2: Blackreach Spores SE - If you want to install the ESP version instead of the ESL version, the ESP version can be converted to ESP-FE without compacting. Not sure if this is desirable, but gives flexibility in load order. Probably not necessary.

@wollboi

1. Fixed. I just finished the update when the server went down (couldn't recheck everything). ;)

 

2. That is what i'm working on (plus Double Dibella Bodyslide). I have an idea how to get that working even if i then have to do a complete new set for the predone bodyslides. But i guess i need one or two weeks for that alone.

 

 

@akadeadpool

Nope. Do the caching. Just install my config file like any other mod and check the required changes in DynDOLOD (all in the description of the mod). 

 

The new files from JK work without a patch. Thats why i needed so long to add them, as i wanted to make sure they don't cause a CTD or have other issues.

 

 

@trgdolors

Didn't have an issue replacing them on my playthrough. Just, as you said, rechecking the settings seems to be fine. Only keep them in the same spot as the old mod.

 

Hmm, i'll add a recommendation of 'Fallrimtools'...

 

 

@Rey_Vegeta

The funny thing is that Diamond is almost identical to my texture pack (it only came out later than mine). I just have to see where exactly the differences are and if i can do something like 3D pubic hair.

__________________________________________________

 

The next update will be more like cleaning-the-house. I'll go through all mods (especially animation and sound). I wouldn't be surprised if i find mods that overlap and could be safely removed. Maybe i'll split FPA and TPA (or tag them?).

Anybody else having trouble with No Grass? Mine crashes as expected a few times, then just sits on the title screen for a long time with the Windows spinning blue circle. Tried it twice.

It didn't work for me in the beginning.

1. Make sure you got the '.Net Framework' installed in Skyrim. The one for Windows isn't enough (i fell for that ?).

2. The stuff for bink can cause issues, I'll give you my files:

Skyrim Special Edition.7z

3. It takes quite some time. My config file cuts it down considerably, but still 30 min to 2 hours (i think i needed ~40 min).

 

Sadly i can't find the guide for it anymore... I intended to link to it.

Actually I think it finished, but looking at the forum for the mod others users mentioned the same result I had but the error message is covered up by the screen on full display. That's an odd choice of design. Looking at my Overwrite, I don't see the precachegrass.txt file in the grass folder, so I'm assuming it is finished.

 

Concerns/Thoughts:

1 - Any mod that has to intentionally launch and then crash the game seems very sus (as the kids say, I think). Just doesn't fill me with confidence.

2 - Is grass clipping really a problem? I've noticed it coming through a few outside floorboards, but never really though too much about it. Is this going to look noticeably different? Even on the mod page's images, you can barely see much of a difference in the before/after comparisons.

3 - How much of a performance improvement are we seeing here? Hopefully noticeable given the amount of work. I'm already now getting consistent 50-60 fps outside, but of course that's just my machine.

4 - The posts page is filled with people who can't get this to work. A lot of the solutions offered translate to "did it crash in the right way or did it crash in the wrong way?"

 

May have further thoughts after DynDOLOD finishes, but ... I dunno. Would be interested in seeing other posters' thoughts.

Posted (edited)

(site not letting me update my last post but I thought this was worth mentioning)

5 - Because of the launching/relaunching way this works, you will end up with Fuz Ro Doh and other SKSE plugins in the Overwrite you create for this mod. Dunno if that is problematic.

 

@Aylis How large did your Overwrite folder end up being when it was done?

 

Edit (I need another hobby) - Yeah, mine finished:

 

For those who reach this point and are wondering what happened, open the .NET Script Framework mod in Explorer via MO2, open the NetScriptFramework folder, and look at NetScriptFramework.log.txt. At the bottom it should say "Grass generation finished successfully!" Above that, if it seems like it stopped at 71%, apparently that is the expected stopping point.

DOH!

 

If it is really so simple, then it is not even funny anymore...

 

For those who use SRA add the following file as the last bodyslide:

Bodyslide SRA.7z

 

Morphs won't work. But it saves us a lot of juggling with the bodyslides. I'll see if i can refine it in the next few days...

My game won't launch if I have NET Script Framework enabled.   Looked at NetScriptFramework.log.txt and it was empty so the framework doesn't load at all.   Reinstalling it didn't help.  I tried reinstalling SSE Engine Fixes Part 1 (through MO2) and Part 2 (dumping it in the Skyrim folder) again but that didn't help.  Followed the troubleshooting instructions to create a binkw64.log file in the Skyrim directory.  Launched again, failed again, and that file is empty as well.   Tried disableing my anti-virus in case it was blocking the process (without its normal pop-up telling me it was), but it still doesn't work.

 

I can take all of that to the Netscript Framework mod page and see if I can get help there, but I'm thinking I might just leave it disabled, or uninstall it.  The one grass mod that relies on it seems tricky to use anyway.

@akadeadpool

No. You'll run into conflicts with 3.0.

 

 

@axz2

Strange. Did you try redownloading the file? Also try the one in post #7234 if that doesn't help.

 

Maybe i do have to add 'DLL Plugin Loader'. It is included in another mod, but perhaps that version isn't compatible enough. ?

 

 

@ascendentkunglao

No idea. There's nothing in the list that changes the interior itself.

_________________________________________________

 

Double Dibella Bodyslide doesn't work out. It triples the bustsize from weight 0 to 100 and the armor presets are just broken. I'll stick with 'Greek Goddess'. Thanks to the SRA file all other predone slides seem to work (havn't found an issue) and i don't have to rework everything.

 

 

I'll be adding the SRA file to the list. Done

 

Once i'm completely done with it, i got a few ideas for it ;), i'll make a separate post for the download.

I did re-download.  Edit Also just now reinstalled the Visual C runtime in case that was the problem, but still doesn't work

 

I don't know about the ide of moving the mod list to use DLL Plugin Loader instead of SSE Engine Fixes because I seem to be the only one having the problem here.  Its probably something specific to my setup.  If it becomes important for me to use NET Script Framework I'll just look for help there (and maybe on the SSE Engine Fixes thread).

Yeah I found it really odd it seemed it was like almost a directional thing, turn one way FPS tanks, turn the other it begins to go back to normal numbers.

It seems that 3D Pubic Hair for HIMBO doesn't work for me. It kind of ads a mesh over the schlong and it looks very strange...

Without 3d Pubic Hair it looks normal. Am I doing something wrong? I just generated the bodyslide meshes, and they don't have schlong. And 3d Pubic Hair doesn't have bodyslides, amirite?

Yes, you're using the wrong schlong. Only the standard one works (check the descriptions).

Might be a broken mesh somewhere.
