guide Skyrim SE for Beginners - V 3.2.6 (Outdated)

[jaeos]

@Aylis the windows update did something to my steam.exe file. only known fix is to rename steam.exe to something different like steams, steamss, valve. i dunno, i'm seeing if mine is fixed but, it requires you to re-install steam.. renaming steam just makes it download and extract a new package named steam.

you then delete your renamed exe file

Hello Aylis. Thank you for all the amazing work you did testing, putting this together and sharing it with us. Can you please tell me how I can use the Bijin skin, with Bazinga's improved labia file and remove the pubic hair. It appears his file is adding pubic hair to female body texture. I would like to use the options in SOS for pubic hair but the body needs to be hairless first. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you again!

Thank you again!

or you could use the bijin labia provided for in the files section that has full collision and doesn't have hair..

Are you running it within MO2?

Yes, I am now.  Before I was using the exe from the folder.

@jaeos

No change here in regard to steam.

You can either blend the provided separate files (instructions and files are further down) with the 'normal' Bijin or use a different skin. What you describe is why i made the update for my own skin. Also it is only for users that don't want to use 3BBB (which got its own labia).

 

Another thing is the delay between getting nude and the pubic hair showing up. The only fix i found for that is the pubic hair in the list.

Upcoming changes:

Ivy by Mari (This will replace the old texture for Ivy we're using now)

Tundra cotton by Mari

 

In progress:

[Batch 03] ~400 files (aka frees ~4GB) so far...

 

A nice sideeffect is that i can now remove the FPS tag from one of the packs. It was thinned so much that its impact on performance will be vastly diminished.

That's just crazy, same update but it didn't affect your steam install but it did mine.

Ever thought of making your own Wabbajack Release ? With a modlist as fleshed out as this I'm sure it would be popular.

No, will not happen.

This is a big 'only when hell starts to freeze over' from my side (this old german proverb fits here nicely ;)). Having to pay for something i created (as i would use my mods too) is completely out of question.

Deviously troubled noob

first of all: Danke @Aylis für den guide!!! Has helped a nooblord out a ton so far.

 

My problem now: Trying to install Devious Devices but the integration dll included in the FOMOD does not fit my skse version. Fortunately it can be skipped.
Trouble is where do I get a version of the integration dll that works with the current skse 2.0.17?

I already went through every page if the Devious Devices support thread but only found another slightly less outdated version

I have been working on your list for three days now and got a load order with 200+ mods working. Never seen Skyrim so pretty before!
(i am a total noob and had to scrap the build 3 times already but it is stable now)
But now I seem to have hit a wall here since dd is a dependency of a ton of mods.

in the discussion thread for DD the authors tell people several times for you to choose NONE for the skse install. It started using the registry bank that you also install in the mod list. Some of those mods will be missing a master and it will put the yellow triangle with a 1 in it until the list is almost complete.

The latest version of wabbajack was supposed to have changed that, so that a premium account is no longer required, however I recently used that version of wabbajack for a Fallout 4 install it it still did not want to download without it, it just sat there saying waiting for nexus or something like that.

[Aylis]

@H0rnyH0rse

Gern geschehen.

 

The AIO for V4.3 is exactly the one i'm using here (SKSE 2.0.16 runtime 1.5.80). Maybe something went wrong during the download or installation. 

DeviousDevices.dll

 

 

@Varithina

Thanks for that information. Might be something similar like the registration for MO2.

No problem, to be honest when it stopped there I kept expecting a pop up to appear asking to confirm my nexus account, whether something in my security settings was blocking that or not I have no idea, in the end I looked at how much the premium account was and then sat there thinking just how much I do download from the nexus, which over three or four games I currently play and download is a ton,  and though $50 for lifetime was a decent deal so bought it.  The monthly one to me is not worth it, unless you are simply going to get a month just to install a load of stuff then cancel it.

[H0rnyH0rse]

@Aylis I am running 'Current SE build 2.0.17 (runtime 1.5.97)'

--> does that mean that if I want to use DD I will have to downgrade the game first, since the only available dll is for version 2.0.16?

I did the whole single month to try out tonnes of mods route, downloading hundreds of mods with a speed limit would be rough.

I have said it before. SELECT NONE WHEN YOU INSTALL ONCE YOU GET TO THE SKSE PAGE OF THE FOMOD INSTALLER

Spoiler

 

[H0rnyH0rse]

That wasn't the problem. I have used the FOMOD without the ddi option since it did not include the skse version I am running.

What I am looking for is a version for the dll that will run with skse .17 since that is the version I got.
Or am I missing something here?

From what I remember the none option is the one that installs that dll, the others are for other versions of the game, yeh it is a bit odd in how it is installed to be honest.

You're totally right on this one. Will add that to the description. Done

When i created the FOMOD i suggested to keep it separately for easier updates. They insisted on going this route... ?

A bit odd as you would expect the install to default to the current versions dll, not one of the older ones, selecting none is a bit counter intutive to say the least.

Couldn't agree more.

it is a bit backwards but because of the skse repository that was implemented after 1.5.80, it would make sense if you had an older install that needed those older skse runtimes. but you do not need them on a new install so you select you want NONE of the available options.

[H0rnyH0rse]

Lol ?‍♂️

thanks guys

I suppose an easy fix would be to rename 'none' into 'current'.
Because when I select none I expect, well... none.

 

Now I hit the next wall.

I cant get dynDOLOD to work.
 

 

[00:00:00.069]    DynDOLOD based on xEdit x64 (1AC6DFDF) starting session 2020-06-13 00:45:23
[00:00:00.074]    Game Mode: SSE
[00:00:00.077]    Game Name: Skyrim Special Edition
[00:00:00.080]    Using Skyrim Special Edition Data Path:
[00:00:00.084]    Using Scripts Path: C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\

[00:00:00.100]    Using ini:
[00:00:00.105]    Fatal: Could not find ini

 

I have Googled the issue, but so far found nothing of use.
Anyone has any ideas about what I could do here? I bet it is something silly again.

But all in all I am still really happy with this guide. The game actually runs rather well. No CTDs so far. Only minor issues I could find so far were some blackfaces on chars added by mods and found 2 male NPC with invisible bodies. And 281 Mods running. That exceeds anything I pulled off so far by an order of magnitude at least.

 

So thanks for all of the help so far. Much appreciated!

Edit: Just found the STEP guide. But it wasn't much help here https://wiki.step-project.com/DynDOLOD_SE#Recommendations

[Aylis]

@H0rnyH0rse

It can't find the ini for the game. So either you have to reinitialize it through a start with the launcher or DynDOLOD doesn't like its location and has to be moved to a different partition (i encountered both problems here ;)).

__________________________________________________

 

Six hours typing and checking and rechecking and rerechecking. I think i got all typos and tomorrow i'll start with 'Skyrim HD III'.

 

For those who want to give it a testrun (it works fine here):

Batch 03 V1.0B.bat

 

This will remove ~730 conflicting files and should free something around 7.5 GB on your drive. In case you still find a typo (there shouldn't be one left) please tell me about it so i can fix it.

[smith.agent]

Hiya: quick question if I may... I tried to find this information in the thread but it seems I'm not able to find it.

If I had to download SSE now, would the latest version available be compatible with the modlist?
I know some suggest a very old version like 1.5.73 / 1.5.80, unfortunately though those versions are no longer available (I tried several Steam download servers at no avail...)

 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
