No. DLL Plugin Loader hasn't been updated to AE, and most (all?) of its functionality is in SSE Engine Fixes anyway. 

For the SKSE section, it's drop or disable:
.NET Script Framework
Dynamic Eqiupment Manager

 

From Override section, ignore or disable:
Fizzle

 

And from the Final section, ignore:
No Grass in Objects (requires .NET Script Framework)

Grass Cache

 

Add (to SKSE Extensions):

po3's Tweaks (requirement for Papyrus Extender, it will work without Tweaks, but seems to work better with it)

 

Maybe add (optional, to SKSE Extensions):
Crash Logger (not as good as .Net Framework crash logging, doesn't provide any of the extras either)

Equipment Toggle 2 (Possible replacement for Dynamic Equipment Manager, although needs some extra set up).

Thank you for answering, and is there anything else that I need to replace/ignore?

Nice, I was literally looking at Poise two seconds ago. I like the idea of finally fixing the ****ing weird pause right before werewolf kill mods, and the new Creature Poise looks like it does that and more. I may look at it tomorrow.

 

I'm also really digging new mods. It feels like more interesting mods have come out in the past two months than in the past two years--which is actually saying a lot. I really need to share the ones I've been messing with.

@wollboiI'm sure we would all be interested in your current experiments and thoughts, as time allows.

Well. Spent like two hours going through my whole mod list, giving URLs and everything for stuff I've added and leaving notes for all of it. Keyboard miraculously stopped working, then decided to refresh this 1992-era website on its own and I lost everything. Should've saved it as I went along. I guess I'll type something up tomorrow when I can buy a keyboard that works for my gaming machine.

I was going to use Serena Dialogue Add-on next time I play but I'm reconsidering it.

 

One of the reasons is some compatibility issues including fertility mods.  I might use Serana Relationship Revamped instead but since I've never played through Dawnguard before and thus never played with vanilla Serana, perhaps I should do that first, or at least have a closer to vanilla Serana with something like Serana Dialogue Edit.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on those options?

I'm assuming that's grass? Need to get something a shot a little closer to see what it's supposed to be.

Well, took some time to get everything sorted out and working together, but my current build is now working. 

 

The NVIDIA Reflex support mod seems to be making things run a little smoother. Now sure just how much yet, but so far so good. Shadow boost and  shadow diffusion from the same mod author also seem to be working well. 

 

Anyone know a mod that adds more tabs to the favourites menu? Looking for some way to clean it up, add a few more categories to it (Preferably something that just adds tabs to the existing menu, and not something that takes up the whole screen).

@asebw We could go on and on re: UI mods. There is this: Favorite Misc Items. I am not sure what you mean, though. I am still using Dear Diary Dark Mode (white text) and liking it. And a bunch of other stuff...

 

Recently, I am testing UI-Integrated Hotkeys System. It seems to allow having not just regular hotkeys, but shift/alt/cntrl-hotkeys. It is really hard to understand the directions, though.

Well, the favourites menu is not setup very well. Half of everything goes under 1 tab, which can make things a pita to find especially when you add spells to that mix. Ideally, I'm hoping there's a mod out there that adds more tabs to the menu, such as a tab for armor, a tab for magic etc, but the only ones I have found so far just expand the menu to cover most of the screen, which I would rather not have.

I tought, they were rocks, but taking a closer look it seemed to be plants. Just need to find out which mod only installed meshes.

It would have to be one of the grass or landscape mods. Mari's Flora comes to mind, as does kyne's grass and some of the overhaul mods. It should be one of the mods in foundation or textures (I don't think there's anything in the areas section that affects grass or landscapes in general, but it wouldn't hurt to check there either). Best thing to do is go by process of elimination. Try running the game with just the mods in the foundation and textures section active, and see if you're still getting the issue. If you are, it's definitely one of the mods in one of those two sections. If not, re-enable the rest of your mod list one section at a time until it starts to happen again. That should help narrow things down a bit. Once you know what section it is in, focus on any mods that alter grass or landscape.

 

It looks like it's a missing texture (maybe a missing mesh). If you can find the mod that's causing the issue, just try reinstalling/updating. If reinstalling, best to fully delete the mod first just to be on the safe side. 

 

Might be a bit of a stretch, but you could also try regenerating your texgen/DynDOLOD output as well. More of a long shot than anything else I admit, but something in the back of my mind is nagging me about a possible connection, though I can't for the life of me remember what it might be atm. Maybe try this as a last resort unless your DynDOLOD esm/esp is flagged as having missing masters in MO2.

It seems to be that the grass mod from Nature of the Wild Lands was the villain. I replaced it with Folkvangr - Grass and Landscape Overhaul and the issue was gone.

There's a "Wetness" option in RASS MCM that says "FULL". Change it to "Raindrops"

Quick kinda important heads-up for everyone:

About 12 hours ago, Bethesda, in thier infinite wisdom, has bestowed upon us a new update for AE, so SKSE isn't working, and you might want to be checking that Skyrim isn't automatically updating at least until thats been updated.
Those of us that have set Skyrim to update on launch should be ok, as long as we stick to launching Skyrim via SKSE.

For anyone thats already been caught by this, I paste these instructions from ContraBiscuits on reddit for how to get steam to give you the old version back:
 

Quote

First type this into your web browser:

steam://nav/console

Then allow it to open steam client bootstrapper. Once the console window appears, type:

download_depot 489830 489833 4570833277049890269

Check the console for the location of the newly downloaded skyrimse.exe version 1.6.353. Then simply replace the exe in your game files with this one. Don't know how well this will work but the game is at least launching for me so...

 

[trgdolors]

Yeah, so right when it was looking like the dust had settled and it is time to leave my old SE play through and go AE, the new update from Bethesda...

Don't ya just love the constant dicking Bethesda does to ALL of their player base. ?

Aylis, last I read you were working on FO4 stuff.  But if you could just make a quick alteration, I believe adding the Racemenu memory leak hotfix to the front page would be a good idea.  https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/70161

The current version of RaceMenu includes the fix.

My understanding is that the latest AE version of Racemenu has the fix, but the latest SE version (0.4.16), which this guide would still probably have people use, does not.

 

@Mystic Taurus While installing that fix is probably a good idea, there are a lot of things that the guide would need at this point. This guide still has a lot of value (I find I still check it frequently), but anyone new that is following it should be prepared to do some research. We can help to some extent.

 

I had been thinking that this would be a good time to jump in to AE, but almost at that moment Bethesda dropped a (not very good) surprise update on us. An AE run is still totally viable, but now you have the extra issue of needing to choose which version of AE to use.

The missing part of the leg? That happens sometimes. Someone else here may have a better answer, but one thing it could be is that you are trying to put the armor/clothes from one body type on a different body type. The guide here uses the CBBE 3BBB body. Is the armor from a different body?

Anyone know what could debuff sneak by 80?

UPD. It's from Shout Like A Virging mod, for some reason debuff was not removed, to reset Sneak to normal Player.ForceAv sneak 15

I am not sure if it has been posted here yet so I am going to let people know if they don't know already. Aylis actually lost access to their account since the beginning of august and loverslab have never gotten back to them yet and at this point who really knows if Aylis will get access to their account back so there is a chance this guide won't be updated normally again whenever Aylis decides to work on this guide again. Aylis is still focused on Fallout 4 these days. The recent update to the fallout guide Aylis wasn't able to update the page so the update is deep in the comments. Just wanted to give people updates on why you probably won't be seeing much of Aylis on their main account.
