Coming back to Skyrim again - need some short advice

[Wuschelteddy]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently playing with the thought of skyriming again.

But with all the versions and +10years of mods I am a bit lost on what I will want to have/what I need.

I am out of the loop with everything that came out for the last two years or so....

 

First questions that are in my mind:

 

1. Do we still use FNIS or is Nemesis better? 

2. Flower Girls and the SexLab Framework are two different things? Do they coexist or do I pick one?

    Recommendations?

3. which BodyMod should I Opt for? There is so many now... (at first glance I found: CBBE, UNP, CBBE 3BA, UUNP and more even....  )

4. Do mods for Skyrim Special Edition also work for the Anniversary Edition?

    (Should I bother to buy that?)

 

 

Well, thats it for now, thank you for your time!

 

Cheers!

Teddy

1. You can use both but, in my experience, FNIS is sufficient.

2. Flower Girls and SexLab can coexist (like FNIS and Nemesis) but, again in my experience, SexLab has everything you'll need.

3. Body Mod is strictly aesthetic and should be your choice. I still use CBBE (with BodySlide this can emulate anything else).

4. Don't get folk here started on AE. AE is not compatible (yet) with a lot of SE mods. I suspect by the time Bethesda gets around to releasing ES6 you'll be able to use it with impunity.

1 FNIS if you want creature humpy bonky. Nemesis if you want the new fancy none sexual stuff

2 Yes and yes

3: whatever strikes your fancy

4: Yes if they are skse independent, no if they need skse then you have to look out a bit more, like Sexlab has a ver. for AE and one for SE cause of that

 

all this questions.. Could have been answered by google tho

Oh and don't bother buying, you get the AE update and a few CC mods if you want them or not. Downgrading is a thing tho, you can always go back to normal SE.

1 FNIS still works but some new mods require Nemesis (which causes problems for me so I still use fnis forfeiting those mods)

2 Best to pick one as the mods that say they support both will cause you problems/conflicts

3 Your choice, I go with my own modded CBBE body version with smp config (no cbpc physics) -  I have a simple smp xml file that enables smp on 3ba armour mods. IMO the 3ba mod adds way too much complexity for outfits so I just use the bodyslide reference files from it. If you want cbpc and smp physics in tandem then ignore me and use CBBE 3BA (apparently this can help with performance).

4 most of them do unless they have an SKSE plugin that hasn't been updated yet

Good thanks fella! Having fun modding again, I hope life is treating you well

1 FNIS and Nemesis have different goals. Nemesis is needed if you want actual combat system in skyrim. Fnis is needed for creature animation packs for SL. You can run both an get best of both worlds, but it requires a bit of user discretion.

2 Different things , can coexsits. Shouldnt thou, FG dont offert much ofanything over SL, so its redundancy.

3 The one you like. 3BB type would probably be preferable since you're on LL.

4 Some of them.

all these are answered already, but just throwing in that i prefer UUNP as a body mod because, to me, it seems a little more detailed.
