Try removing all the new CrapClub stuff.  I have issues with it in my load order until I remove it by moving it to a mod folder and do not select it for loading.

Just an idea.

 

Tried but no luck so far. I am currently downloading the full downgrade to see if that will help.

in my play through , compared to last time I've played  there are no butterflies . Not sure what causes this . Like the sign post by Honningbrew meadery always a few . but I've seen 0 none . Any idea why ?

Armors i'm going to check later:

Ash Pilgrim’s Garments                                                             Got to start a Dunmer again

College Prestige Mage Outfit

Daedric Armor                                                                           Hopefully this will work

I am suddenly missing all of the inventory or crafting menu models. It just doesn't show anything has anyone encountered a bug like this? Could be that downgraded to 1.57 could be the cause?

 I don't think so, I had to use the downgrader too.  I haven't noticed any missing.  I kept Saints and Seducers from the AE CC and after building it in BodySlide it works perfectly.  I'd say something else is causing the problem.

I finally got the combat and general animations working plus the Rudy ENB working.

 

1) Is it normal with this guide the PC can't cast magic without the other hand equipped?

 

2)  Well, I couldn't open the Skyrim Options (it didn't exist) to turn off Turn off the following options according to Rudy install instructions:
        - Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
        - Snow Shader
        - Lens Flare

     Had to use BethINI to do it.  I can't remember if Skyrim Options work with SKSE or if it's a result of the downgrader.  After turning these things off I could actually see a lot more in the woods.  It was so dark I almost had to run into a tree to see it.

 

3)  Can I lighten the night woods a tad more using the ENB GUI and adjusting the ambient night and dusk from 70?  Down or up?

 

The female PC is now lovely with the ENB and the day scenery is gorgeous.  Thanks @Aylis and other supporters.  Very glad your back and hopefully getting better.

@remodel

Even if i would loose a race against a turtle atm...

First - thank you for all this effort!

I have 3 questions:

1. When it rains, I have camera effects like rain running from glasses. I don't really like this. How can I disable this? I checked R.A.S.S. but none of the options seem to disable it - never mind, found it

2. Opponents with large Axes wield them extremely slow - so slow it is terribly easy to kill them. Is there a setting for this somewhere?

3. Is it safe to add back Bruma and Devious Devices? They were on the list when I have gone through it last year.

@Alkzis The first part doesnt have the download manager . Its the enb stuff and must be install by you where the skyrim dir is.

 

The 2nd part is the larger file , downloaded by your mod manager and install there

Don't feel bad , nobody answered my butterfly question . I imagine they get a lot of the same questions and it becomes felt that we should know this already or sometimes they simply don't know . Just treat this as a list of recommended mods and 1 source of info .  Do google searches and read mod comments on the nexus as well as at least consider the advice given threw a run of LOOT . I know they think its rubbish but its helpful , just be sure to google what it recommends ( i.e. mod cleaning or particular patches ) This guide itself has been updated but not maintained and consistent so its confusing if youre not in "the know "

@Auxitism

That link is not the armor i had before.

 

Updated the link for Shindara.

 

Ragarding the butterflies: did you try fast traveling to another location and then back again? Might be a loading issue.

Official JContainers update is out for AE.

Hello! i finally got the list up and runing but so far i have only 2 things:

1: Im really have no idea what or why this is happening, i guess is because Texgen/DynDOLOD, but i doubt it since i saw it the first time, deleted the ouputs and Rerun the thing once more make sure to have all the options just like the screenshots/options on the guide. Yet its like this:

Theres a couple more of those around the place (on the base of the pillars/beams) i have no clue why but its driving me nuts, yes i could ignore it but i just cant.

Any idea of what it could be? i have run Dyndolod and textgen a few times now and checked/rechecked to insanity the texture list and everything is ok.

I have no clue why the windows there are like that (does it even haves windows? never noticed)


2: can be ignored (a chair in Breezehome is clipping with one another and the last one is kinda in the middle of the room)
I can live with it, since you spend most of the time out and i dont even like living there anyway

  Reveal hidden contents

I noticed that my DynDOLOD does not generate any esp/esm or anything like that, did i mess something up?

Yeah, checking the load order screen shot at the start of the guide it does have a DynDolod.esm while mine did not generate anything... why?
I click on "exit" once Dyndolod told me it was ready, was it that?
I usually go for "save and exit" but i never checked the actual difference

NOW it makes the Esm, esp and Oclussion. Wtf i changed nothing
Still not working, its becoming quite annoying, does anyone knows what it could be? I think im just going to reinstall all textures  and hope for the best.

Hi @Alkzis, sorry for your troubles, I know how frustrating it can be.  My best guess for both your problems is that you're looking at mesh conflicts resulting from mod list (left pane) and plugin (right pane) load order errors.  My first suggestion would be to disable any non-Aylis list mods you may have in the left pane  (mainly those that might change things in the worldspace)  and then make sure that the remaining mods are all in the order they are presented on page 1.   Next, go through and correct the order of all the right pane plugins to match the order of the modlist.  Do it manually, do not trust LOOT for this crucial step.  Let me know if you've tried this or if this helps.

Good Luck!

I would like to make a formal request of @Aylis over a longstanding issue:

Since the vast majority of the support requests here typically involve mod order and load order, wouldn't it make things much simpler to post copies from the profiles folder of complete versions of modlist.txt and loadorder.txt?  It would probably require going through and flagging all the optional files, but it would be one-and-done for each version update.  Beginners would find this list based organization tremendously helpful.  The arguments could then be made:  Hey, check the list.  If you added something, you're on your own.

I run DD and no issue, but i'm running SE not se/ae hybrid. If i remeber right there should be wildcat on the list, allow wildcat to manage difficulty should make them harder to kill since it will negate some things on the fly and make them 20 levels higher just for kicks...

If they followed the list like they are supposed to, and stop "checking" by adding stuff out of order just to skip the wagon ride and see if shit "is working" they wouldn't be out of order in the first place, and it (i believe in large font) says adding shit you're on your own anyway, but solutions are still given because we want people to mod the shit out of fallout and skyrim and have fun doing it, yeah finding a problem can be a pain in the ass, but learning how MO2 works, and finding the solution yourself can be (to me) just as fun as actually playing.

I've made 4 fresh installations with this guide and I've found it very enjoyable and educational . I'm glad its here . Just saying to be clear as I tend to not communicate that casually with neuro-typicals

i don't know if i should be offended by being called neurotypical or giggle that someone actually whipped that term out in a forum on a site dedicated to making animated porn.. ?‍♂️?

[Tiemphyx]

@jaeos Sorry if you feel this is an undue request.  It's simple enough to do and resolves many issues.  With all due respect, why the angry response?

[Auxitism]

Armor rating redux vs Resistances Rescaled ,    Sorry if I missed something but does RR do everything that ARR does  ? or should I have both ?

You shouldn't . neurotypical is the norm nor does it have anything to do with the enjoyment of the female form or other kinks . I was only indicating I have a deficit that often causes awkwardness in casual social situations 

[trgdolors]

@Temphyx To stick my neck out a little, I do actually agree with you that posting some screen shots of the current official load order (in spoilers, of course) could be beneficial. I would actually look at that occasionally myself. I remember that you brought this up before, and I hope it is considered. It would likely cut down on some questions.

 

I did not read Jaeos' response in an angry tone, though. They are basically right.

 

Maybe some kind soul can create a decent version of the load order (screenshot, list, link, something?), though this is Aylis' guide and they absolutely should have the say on... just about everything. I would not be a candidate to create the load order thing. My current load order is very different than this guide, though it overlaps quite a bit.

 

I just appreciate following along as I am still learning and am only medium skilled at best.

[trgdolors]

@Auxitism Your comment that the guide has been "updated, but not maintained" is not totally wrong right now, though the recent history has been highly unusual. Aylis was unavoidably out for an extended period of time until just recently. Normally, they pretty much seemingly dedicate their life to this thing, and we all owe much to their perseverance. Yes, we all have had comments, questions, ideas and requests not go how we would like, but generally this forum is helpful, friendly, and drama-free. That's why many of us are here. Even [breaks fourth wall] those of you lurking.

 

Also, the SE/AE thing has shaken up the whole community.

 

Now, Loot? I think most of us use it. Like you said, it is a great tool, just don't only rely on it. You can run it without saving, and check it's advice. It has saved me a lot of work several times. It also has been wrong occasionally. I wish it could handle a custom static load order like this guide, but with added mods, better than it does. It does have custom rules that work pretty well, if one is truly dedicated. I should add, Loot and this guide guaranteed do not get along without so much Loot tweaking that you are better off just following the guide.

 

As for the butterflies? Sorry, I have no idea, but I did see (and install) this yesterday: Lepidopteran Invasion SE. We will see how it goes.

 

Thanks to everyone here for continuing to share your knowledge so freely!

I was only posting in response to someone else with those remarks . Being sympathetic . I have nothing but gratitude for the guide and the people here . Nothing is owed . All is free . Nothing but thanks . I was only stating reality .

 

That mod looks cool . Something about butterflies that makes a world magical lol
