CBP in the MCM?

Hmm... no such thing. ?

 

this  is:

Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer - SSE v1.5.3

XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended-1988-4-51

CBPC - Fomod installer - MAIN FILE-21224-1-3-5-1577818056

....installed.

Then 'SINful CBP' is missing. With that you control the physics and can modify them anytime.

 

Also there are mods that seem to be unrelated but will screw up physics. In my case it was 'Animated Parasites' that had... let's say 'interesting' sideeffects.

 

Another thing is that you might need the other XML from 3BBB if you're living in Europe and have a localized version.

Hi, I want to say thank you Aylis for your comprehensive modding guide. I spent some hours with it and wow, this must have taken some serious time and dedication. I love it!
I'm still fresh to the Special Edition of Skyrim, only played the original in 2011. But, following your guide the whole way through, only skipping some bigger texture mods because of my rig, I was pretty impressed since I loaded about 334 mods and didn't encounter any crashes or other problems. I have never heard of all these programs like dyndolod, bodyslide and FNIS or even MO2 before, but you explained everything that's necessary to set them all up. Again a big thank you for including your own preset and other stuff! (creating a beautiful character in Skyrim is probably my worst nightmare).

At this point, I'm still running around in my alternate start cell room trying stuff and going through the MCM which I've never seen before  

I love that my character (or should I say your? ?)  is facing the camera when moving backwards using the s key. The only thing that's driving me a bit crazy is that she does an instant 180 turn as soon as I stop walking (or pressing the s key). Is there some way to configure this so she keeps facing the camera? I quit the game and ran FNIS again just to be sure, but nothing has changed.

Is this effect intended or did I install / configure something wrong?

@Ewigan

There's this mod that isn't a part of the list but I use in my load order. Works fantastically and adds a lot of immersion--like if I'm in third person and am walking straight and look at a mountain to the right, my character will also turn their head and look at the mountain while still walking forward. There's also a setting where if you rotate the camera to look directly at your character, the character will stop moving their head and will instead look at the camera as long as it's facing right at their front.

I think 360 movement got applied to this build with Improved Camera, but I've just been using JoP with this mod and it sounds like it covers what you're looking for.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7446

 

Neither of these are in the list, so YMMV but I like 'em.

[Zalk]

Beautiful Amulets and Rings from section Armor and Weapons is no longer available. I guess https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53767 will be a good replacment, if converted with "Cathedral Assets Optimizer" and "SSE Creation Kit".

[DeathjunkieTerror]

@Aylis One q, following the order of the guide in what step I could install my custom followers and custom armor(loverslab, ex bdo armors etc)?

[Aylis]

@Ewigan

I only need that when i make screenshots. That means using the console commands 'tfc' and 'tm'.

 

The MCM tends to get bigger and bigger. Too bad that you can only partially export the settings as it takes some time to set everything up.

 

 

@wollboi

Careful with the second one. There are some mods in the list that don't like that one. That is also the reason why it is not in the list.

 

 

@Zalk

Thanks for the info.

 

Converting things is something i don't want to put into a guide for beginners. So i'll upload the file here... (Changed in the list and added to files)

 

If i remember correctly it was the same author who did the textures for the circlets. I don't know whats going on at Nexus. But in the last few weeks i found quite a few people leaving Nexus for good (and, as they tend to remove all their mods, i doubt it was on good terms).

 

 

Uploaded file:

@Lokocore

Usually in the group where you find others like them (aka follower in 'NPC', etc).

[Aylis]

What do you guys think: Should the preview pictures of armor include weapons, or should i better remove them?

 

 

This is btw. in my eyes the best(looking) heavy armor for archers. Good protection while keeping the mobility high.

Gone through the list again.

Added the tag (File) so it is easier to see that there's a download available in the 'Files' section.

Upcoming next:

Ebony Edge - Ebony Sword and Greatsword model replacers

Tamrielic Textures SE 1 - Landscapes

Reliquary of Myth - Artifact Overhaul

Reliquary of Myth - LHR Patch

JS Barenziah SE (Thats the one i thought was already in)

Dovah Sonaak - Dragon Priest Masks SE (Forgot to add its predecessor - this mod is even better)

KD - Realistic Fireplaces V3

Lanterns Of Skyrim II (Will be added as an alternative for 'Lanterns of Skyrim'. But it is harder on the system)

DynDOLOD FXGlow Disabler (Will be added as an option)  

 

 

Testing:

Going through every single Skyland file. (Will be deleted. There's nothing in there that we really need and it saves us a slot for another ESP) 

Sexlab Approach Redux (Works too well. Imho it starts to get annoying)

BakaFactory's SLAL Animation SSE (Soft requirement for 'SL Approach'. Introduces random CTD)

Raven Rock Reborn

FleshFX

Eye Normal Map Fix SSE

[Daikomyo]

I'd probably not include the weapons, or if you do, mention what the weapon is or you'll probably get lots of Questions about it.

[Aylis]

It does work better without weapons. So i'll add one pic with addons and the closeup without them.

 

 

Hopefully i'll get the bodyslide i'm waiting for today. Then i'll be much closer to wrap everything up for the next update.

 

If all goes well i can finally finish the companions today. Then i'll take the trip to Solstheim.

I'll be removing ELE from the list. Rudy 4.0 drastically improved the lighting and found imo the right balance.

Thanks for those.

 

1. Missed to delete that one. (Done) That mod was combined with Skyrim HD SE. No replacement required.

 

2. Will be fixed. (Done)

Having a very strange error and I don't know what could be going on. I've got some male characters appearing with underwear and some without. I can't find any rhyme nor reason to what is causing this. It doesn't seem to be related to named NPCs. Both named and unnamed are basically flipping a coin to see who wears underwear and who doesn't. Doesn't seem to be limited by races either. All females are nude. Tried reinstalling SOS and Tempered Skin. Nice dice. I see mention elsewhere about a perma-undies bug. Is that a likely culprit?

[Aylis]

@wollboi

Check a few files:

 

1. Schlongs of Skyrim should look exactly like this:

Spoiler

 

2. 'Tempered Skins' shouldn't be overwritten at all.

 

If you got something different then you got the troublemaker. In the beginning i had something similar (it should be somewhere in the first pages of the thread) where a mod for NPC was interfering.

Good news:

 

Dibella Sisterhood will propably return. @Testificateguy made an update and yours truly fixed a bug. Got to check two more stations and if they work out i can finally readd the mod to the list. Something i always hoped for...

Still not able to figure out what's going on. My conflict page looks like yours, except it's also being overwritten by two files from AllGUD. Disabling AllGUD doesn't make a difference though. I've also noticed the man-bits are present in NPCs wearing underwear, just underneath the underwear, which I didn't think was possible. Screenshot below.

[Aylis]

I use 'Schlongs of Skyrim SE', i list 'Schlongs of Skyrim SE' and i link to 'Schlongs of Skyrim SE' - you seem to use 'Schlongs of Skyrim Light'.

I use 'Tempered Skins SE', i list 'Tempered Skins SE' and i link to 'Tempered Skins SE' - you seem to use 'Tempered Skins for Schlongs of Skyrim Light'. 

 

What could possibly go wrong? ?

 

Those mods are completely different beasts and not interchangable.

 

Btw. if i write 'should look exactly like this' i mean it!

Otherwise i'd write 'should look similar to this'.

 

If you want to solve the problem i'm afraid you have to switch mods...

Looks like i finally cracked the issues with the pubic hair (and might have to write a whole entry just for that). If you run into problems, tell me and i'll write a detailed installation guide.

 

SOS Addon - Pubic Hair for Females

SOS Growing Pubic Hair for females 1.2 (which should fix the issues with 'Fertility mode')

SOS Female Pubic Hairs colored for NPCs (Now NPC get random pubic hair)

SOS FPH - 3BA Bodyslides (Now they fit)

Growing Pussy Hair - New hair and bugfixes (Getting Oldrim mod to work correctly in SE)

Small info:

Running 470 active mods atm.

[Aylis]

Updating status to '2.0.6'.

With this update we got some big improvements to the game, fixed quite a few things (sorry for my oversights) and got (even if inofficial) one of the best questmods available back. All the tinkering i did in the last few days payed off as i finally got everything working (No, young padawan. Thats called 'persistent'  not 'stubborn' ).

 

With all the changes to the textures you should rerun the texture part of DynDOLOD.

 

Adding tag (JoP) so you can see if an armor got a patch for 'Joy of Perspective'.

@Aylis Sorry, you're right of course, but I should have mentioned that I tried with both SOS Lite and Full and the corresponding Tempered Skin. I thought I took a screenshot of the latter but I guess not. For reference:

Wondering why you aren't seeing a conflict with AllGUD or XP32 in your example, but I dunno. I'll figure it out. Sorry again, that was carelessness on my part.

Nah, its OK (Just don't try to wake me up, drink the last cup of coffee available or dare to look at my almond-honey cookies. Those are major sins. ;)).

 

Thats the problem with 'SoS Light'. In the beginning it was only meant as a short term solution 'til 'SoS' came out. It works differently and the screenshots we made shows that too. Also quite a few mods don't work with 'SoS Light'.

 

*Someone said something about coffee? MINE! And the cookies too!*

[wollboi]

I was using it originally because the full version breaks the HDT werewolf mod I'm fond of.

 

I think you left Tamrielic Textures out of your list.

 

And coffee sounds really ****ing good right now.

That one was on my original wishlist too.

 

What the ****? (Fixed)

 

Hehe *slurp*

[wollboi]

It works well with SOS Lite and Moonlight Tales. With SOS Full it crashes every time. But them physics.

[wollboi]

New Rudy ENB Obsidian is live. Figure this will effect rain & wet effects.
