This is a Load Order Problem. If you are using the guide, check that you let Window Shadows and the corresponding patches overwrite Luminosity. (If you like Luminosity more, then adjust Rudy ENB. There is an enbseries.ini for it. Won‘t recommend it) Also check that Tamriel Masterlights and ENB Lights are installed and at the correct position. Don‘t use LOOT to sort or you will have to spend some time in SSEdit to check what gets overwritten. That wouldn‘t be a bad idea anyway. If you are familiar with SSEdit (which I highly suggest), the easiest way to find out is - to look at Skyrim.esm -> Cells (don‘t know wich block or subblock out of the top) -> Blocks 1-9 somewhere inbetween you should find Dragonsreach. Check what is last on the right side main window. Red are conflicting values. If it is not the Bashed Patch with the last mod values from Window Shadows/ WS-Jk patch, you will defo need to redo the Bashed Patch after you adjust you LO accordingly.  Hope this helped.

 

Thanks a lot for your help! It was a load order problem. I ignored every warning about LOOT and kept using it. It is just to nice to simple push a button and not have to use my brain. it did work for along time, until it did'nt. (LOOT and my brain)

 

If anyone else is as resistant to learning as I am when it comes to using LOOT, this MO2 plugin might help you out: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47325

It is not a perfect solution. If there is a mod with multiple plugins the plugins of that mod will be sorted in alphabetical fashion. But it certainly helps if you stuck to this guides mod order but didn't install them from top to bottom.

Newmiller + 2 more sets

@Aylis I think you've still got SMIM Furniture listed in the old spot as well as the new one.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

You're right. One is enough. Fixed

[wollboi]

@Jessica_Degurechaff Weird, my DynDOLOD took like 30 minutes this time. Much faster than usual.

 

@Aylis Oh, keep forgetting to mention. I bit the bullet and updated to the newest SKSE and ENB versions. No issues at all so far. Much smoother than the last time. Probably okay to update, but then again in seven more days I'm pretty sure everything SSE related is going to be flipped on its head.

[Kalthen]

@Aylis I solved the Riften walkways. It was actually an order problem on my side. Love the new texture additions. To be honest, I always liked fluffy snow and Skyland on LE. Will updat to them as well on a new profile. Looking forward to the ini updates (something I really don't like to touch).

 

I have also tested LUX extensively and I must say, I would not add it to your guide. Most peeps on LL like to install LL mods which change interior cells in dungeons or cities. LUX really doesn't like that. Eventhough there are regular patches for most of the new interior overhauls. Still awsome, though!

 

But what I would suggest as an alternative to Movement Behavior Overhaul is: True Directoinal Movment and Smoothcam plus Preset.
IMO it fixes alot of jankyness when it comes to animations. Free cam takes a bit of getting used to but well worth it.

Faster HDT-SMP                                                           Will replace the old one

Yes, can confirm. I have less trouble with hdt hair and capes. Well worth it.

Btw, why is SSE going to get flipped on his head?

@Aylis Have been using Sharkish Piercings  on a lot of varied bodyslides and all of them worked perfectly.

If not deactivated in Steam SSE will automatically be updated to AE (anniversary edition).

 

For more info read this post here on LL.

 

And here's the short explanation from the SKSE team posted on reddit.

 

TL/DR: While it's fundamentally the same game, AE has been updated from using Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2019. Several plugins will have to be rewritten from scratch, mods using those affected plugins have to be updated using the "new" plugins.

So updating to AE will simply lead to several mods not working anymore except simple stuff like replacers, outfits, ...

Oh i thought it was YET ANOTHER game (todd cant keep getting away with it)

Interesting, well, all we have to do its not update the game, right?

also, in the post (the first one) says how to set steam to not update it.. but dont it means that as soon as we open the game it will update?

Opening from Steam will update but opening using a shortcut to skse64_loader.exe or using the Mod manager game starter outside of Steam should not activate the update validation.

Thanks, google did not answer me that one.

then all its fine isnt it? modders will update their stuff sooner or later (or the community) and if they dont its still cool

[wollboi]

@Alkzis You just need the same version you have. The mod was just moved in the list order.

The "big stuff" like SKSE, adress library, etc. will for sure be updated. Also probably as quickly as possible. But it's still a matter of how fast that can happen.

However any mod using them to work has to be updated as well to work again.
Even now with SSE mods sometimes have to be updated to a new SKSE release.
 

So it can be the case that mods won't get updated simply because their dev has quit modding and stopped maintaining them.
 

And as it has been explained in the reddit post by the SKSE team: This is not a simple case of "updating to a new version" but basically rewriting entire code from scratch.

Does any one know of a mod that let me marry more than one person? I dont need anything else, i just want to marry more than once.

Sadly I'm not going to get my new computer in time before the AE update.  

 

My old potato PC crashed with lost hard drive sectors in the operating system, possibly other sectors too.  I have a USB ide hard drive adaptor I've had good luck with recovering data from old crashed hard drives. It's possible (probable) that I'll be able to recover the Skyrim.exe and other files from it.  I'll get to test installing SSE AE and recovering SSE.  A lot of ifs here. Yeah, I saw a Nexus mod that had changed binaries, but that would have to be tested for me to try it.

 

It's possible it'll be a long while before I can use this guide.  The graphics look fantastic.

[schneefuchs]

I absolutely cannot get animations to work in SE.
I eventually figured it out in vanilla, but here every mod seems to be working fine until it wants to play an animation, then it just skips it.

Assuming I set up using this modlist- is there any quick troubleshooting flowchart or a way to debug it?

from what the post about it says, they are not doing it for free, you gotta buy it. So you may be ok on that part for a bit, if not, one or two posts may crop up in that time spreading around the SE game files to drop back into the steam game folder.

are you going to use just FNIS or the FNIS/Nemesis setup this list uses? For the sake of starting to help figure it out, run FNIS and post a screenshot of the FNIS when it gets done and we can start there.

For a while now I have been trying to figure out this Grass Cache using No Grass In Objects, to the point of starting from scratch and using only the mods in this list. I have run the program about 11 times (each time allowing 4 hours to pass before stopping the program and starting over) not messing with a single thing and keeping to this guide. My last attempt I tried to lower the graphics on SSE to see if it was a performance issue but alas I am stumped. The precache will only get to World 27 out of 51 every time and gets stuck on cell SolitudeWorld (-17, 25) which has something from JK's Skyrim. I have no idea how to precede. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Apparently the voluntary breakage of all mods sorry upgrade to AE will be 20ish bucks for SSE owners. Could be worse I guess.

Doubt I will even bother as I do not consider getting a crap load of garbage cc stuff an upgrade.
