Hehe, you fell for it. ?

 

That seven belongs to the compression 7z. It got nothing to do with the version of the file (but sometimes i got to take a second look too).

 

Will check the inn. Just in case...

 

€: Nothing unusual there. Can you give me some names?

even better, i'll get you screenies

@wollboi, @Aylis and @slough_monster

 

First of all thank you very much for your reply and help!

 

My Computer is really crappy. I am waiting for my new one but the current situation leads to very long delivery times..

 

Fortunately no weather incompatibilities so far. But the hint that textures may be the problem was super helpful. I figured out that the mod "RUSTIC ANIMATED POTIONS and POISONS" causes the CTD at Whiterun. I also reinstalled some mods from LL and all the Skeletons as you mentioned this could be the issue. This seems to have fixed the "inn" CTD in Riverwood.

 

Again thank you for your help. This saved me a lot of time since I dint not had to check EVERY mod. As well as for the 3BBB instruction.

 

Oh and I always get a CTD starting Skyrim when SL Dialogues is activated. I am a noob at modding so it could be an installation mistake from my side.

[jaeos]

@Aylis I'm figuring i didn't install something either correctly or am using an old file when i did, i'll mess with it later. or i have several things out of order and didn't have them fixed correctly.

O.o

 

I've met at least 75% of them and they were OK. Check those:

1. Loadorder

2. Try it without the race you added. There was a problem with it before, wasn't it?

 

 

@Trotf

Rustic's APaP? Thats a new one for me. Normally it's the soulgems that cause problems when you add the light and use the wrong file.

 

Good that you found the problem. ?

Improved bards sadly doesn't work out. Clothing is partially missing (there must be a shoe and boots thief around) and one is running around nude.

i'm betting load order, i remember something about guards armor and another mod causing issues if you had one esp above the other but had to have the main files below each other to no black face, but not this bad. i'm going to look at gilfs and milfs and see if moving it down changes anything.

it was. i moved milf and gilfs to the bottom of npc and just the 2 i checked looked good. Or here's an idea. I shut off Bruma only to the extent missing masters warning shut off, or i would turn the esp off, but left the left pane active, (multiple patches for the same mod) that could have done it as well.

That would also be my first bet.

 

That caused some problems before. Especially if it got some loose files.

Fixed some typos. One day in the far far future i've found them all...  

 

Added a bunch of screenshots. Still have to do more for the armors.

Some seem to have problems with this line in the modlist (got another PM regarding this):

 

Sexlab Defeat (Configure this one as the LAST mod in the MCM)

 

Maybe i'm missing a hidden intricacy of the english language here (for me it makes total sense and got only one meaning ?). So i need a few suggestions from a native speaker how that line could/should be rephrased.

________________________________________________

 

 

For now i'm going with 'When you configure the mods in the MCM make sure that 'Defeat' is the last one you do.'

 

Hopefully that is better. But i'm still open for suggestions regarding that line.

As you configure your mods in the MCM, make sure defeat is the last mod you open and configure.? I also use YMOYL (your money or your life) because the hooks it uses can put you into inns and campfires rather then a death reload. YMOYL will also play (not kindly) with defeat and SD+.

British English is a fairly bastardized language, American English is hopelessly destroyed by words such as yeet and fleek. My 13 yr old proved this point a couple of days ago to my mother that "he talks good" instead of "he talks well". The american educational system doesn't educate to learn anymore. They teach to test. This extended time at home learning "experience" has shown both me and my mother just how far the system has fallen. So general rule. Explain it like you are talking to a 8 year old in Germany. Use small words, along with precise instructions.

This sounds better. I'll go with it.

Well, we learn 'british english' in school, but get mostly exposed to 'american english'. Especially if you watch movies in english. When i was in Asia most people thought i was Australian. On one hand it was a compliment (i guess ?), on the other hand it showed only how mixed (some might say 'messed up') my english really is...

That might be the best advice i heard for quite some time!

Just don't expect me to hand out candy...

The advice of my high school journalism teacher was use words and sentence structure a 12 yr old can understand. I figure a 8yr old German child has much more focus than a 12yr old American child. So i went with it.

Read's this sniggers nastily, but ?

Found it again...

@jaeos

This mod might be of use to you: Female Makeup Suite - Face - RaceMenu Overlays. 

 

 

Testing more stuff:

Reachwind Eyrie Home

Player home in the middle of nowhere? I like the idea. Bed doesn't work with 'Go to Bed'. So it is a 'No-Go' for me.

 

CleverCharff's Fort Dawnguard 4K 2K

Looks interesting. Might be an improvement over Luxor's textures.

 

Widget Addon - Bathing In Skyrim

Interesting little mod. With a small change (hope the OA agrees) this would end up in the list.

 

Pandorable's Initiates

Pandorables Initiates BodySlide 3BBB

This could either work extremely well or end up looking totally unrealistic. Nope, way too heavy on the cosmetics.

 

The Dark Triumvirate - revamped

Pandorables Dark Triumvirate 3BBB BodySlide

Same as with the initiates. The guy is fine, but the ladies are way too heavy on the cosmetics side. So it's a 'No'.

 

Then i have to catch and tame a horse (finding it is not so easy as i thought) and can take a look at:

Convenient Horses

For those who are struggling with the framerates and got a RADEON videocard. The new tool from AMD.com got an overlay which might be useful for you. I got it via this link. The overlay you can activate (as seen in the right top) will show you the activity of your CPU and GPU while you run the game (so you get an idea where the bottleneck of your system is). I installed it yesterday and could squeeze a bit more performance out of my RX 570.

 

Spoiler

 

Btw. the modded Skyrim uses, with all the other stuff of Win10 in the background, between 9.4 to 10.2 GB of your RAM. So having only 8 GB available might lead to swapping and less performance while running the game.

@Aylis I am glad to see you around here again, I hope you are feeling well. I just wanted to thank you again for your hard work. specially the 3bbb/HDT updates. I am about to start updating, I started with Skyrim SE version and I noticed some plugins that are not marked with  the   ? (unless I got the meaning of this symbol wrong) those plugins were:

ENB Helper SE
moreHud SE
moreHud Inventory Edition

[Aylis]

@Masterpandabear

Those three are the ones where i'm not sure if they need an update whenever something new for the CC gets released. The dll suggests that they do, but i'm not certain about it. 

[wollboi]

FWIW, the updates work fine and the added stamina bar above enemies is kind of amazing. Especially at low levels when you need to know how much time you have before the ****ing trolls start swinging again. If you use Morrowloot it makes it extremely helpful knowing whether or not you should bother messing with an enemy or if they will one-shot you.

Ok, I just wanted to let you and anyone else updating know, those needed to updated for me after I updated to the latest SKSE cause I updated to latestSkyrim version (otherwise game would crash on initial start)

why would i need it? 

and those that have an asus mobo and m.2 installed can use a program called ramcache and boost ram by using the m.2 as extra ram.

What?!

 

Will upload the corrected file asap. No idea how this could happen. I copied it out of my game... (Done. And still no clue how that was even possible ?)

 

 

There seems to be some lag 'til the changes are applied. For me the char got white-blonde hair for some seconds. 

 

 

You're welcome.

 

You have no idea how much i was struggling with it for the first few hours. Whats in that thread is exactly how i finally got it running on my system...

She always has white blonde hair at the start, the neck seam color mismatch i have is only with two of the race mods installed. nymph girls of skyrim the neck and chest blend together correctly. it's just forest nymphs and daughter of coldharbor i get it, but if i use another preset (such as skoli's) no neck issue with those. And since i don't know which mod has the error, i'm going to leave it alone and put tattoos on her.

OK, thats good enough for me. Then i'll add the symbol(s). ? (Done)

I tried to make tattoos and warpaints for the skin but that didn't work out so well. Maybe i'll give it another shot later on, but don't hold your breath on that.

There's one thing i hate during the creation of a new char.

[Gmp123]

So I want to start a new run of skyrim Se soon, but would like to confirm something, i'm going to be using the BHUNP (3BBB) Body mod, Bodies of skyrim and Jinxxed followers. Now what I am going to do is update the jinxxed followers and Bodyslide with the new body, set each of the followers bodies into the bodies of skyrim system, along with extra bodeis (UNP and CBBE) for npc's and then get all the clothes set up. That way I can get a diverse set of bodies on all the females using the in game morph system and the jinxxed followers can use any clothing. Any problem with this that I should be aware of?

[Aylis]

@Gmp123

That is something i havn't tried. So i can't tell you if it would work.

1. Farm them out to someone who knows how. There really needs to be a tattoo that skirts the seam that says NO RAGRETS

Spoiler

2. That's why i have a save game called TEST that is just enough mods to get into the game (live another life and requirements)

Then TEST2 is after all the mods are loaded. load it, `showracemenu, change face, race, add tattoos, rename and poof. brand new save game under the new name.

1. Incompatible with 3BBB and HDT-SMP through all the changes to the skeleton. Perhaps later when we get a patch.

2. Should be incompatible to JK's Skyrim and Dawn of Skyrim as well. Havn't seen any patches for those two and they change a lot within the cities. Plus the OA warns about that.

Thats sad, i planned to install it...

Bijin AiO has 3bbb patch so i will go with it (or at least try out)

And will slap in Heljarchen Farm and Windstatd mine for housing, but i have a feeling i will choose Riverside Lodge in the end (like always)
