guide Skyrim AE for Beginners - V 2.0.0 (3BA / HDT-SMP / HPH)

FlaccidOrange · January 11, 2023

@AylisI see, and thank you for creating an amazing guide!

kaosengine · January 12, 2023

Hello, me again, couple more queries to add and apologies again if I'm being stupid!

Any chance of confirmation for the required FOMOD settings for Icy Mesh Remaster and Majestic Mountains?

Query on what to download for Blended Roads redone just to make sure its just the meshes or do we need the textures as well?

The Entry for Origins of Forest has confused me, not sure if its possibly a copy paste issue when the main post was edited as the same thing sees to be listed twice on the main post?

And finally before I stop to try and get some sleep, the FOMOD for the latest version of Forgotten Retex project seems to have issues in Mod Organizer at the moment, the forum posts on Nexus suggests downloading version 7.2 from the old files section while they fix it, may be worth adding a note t the main post for that one.

Thanks in advance again!

All good suggestions.

1+2. Will add those later (too tired now).

3. Where? I can't find doublettes...

4. Got no issues with the newest version (Reinstall worked fine here). Maybe they already fixed it?

@Aylis You'll probably want to change the FOMOD settings you've got for Lux since you're using Peltapalooza, Rugnarok, and Blended Roads now. I also had the same problem with the most up to date version of Forgotten Retex. I'm surprised it didn't give you trouble either, I thought it was all MO2 users.

@wollboi

Thanks Fixed

Totally forgot that...

Payload Interpreter and HD LOD Textures are in your update post but not on the main list.

Which patch version for Assorted Mesh Fixes are you using? The Unofficial one?

Also, the Ore Vein Texture Fix, Stone Quarry and Clay Deposit, Stones of Solitude - Better Blended Rock Piles, and Werewolf Totems are listed twice in the list.

Jessica_Degurechaff · January 12, 2023

@Aylis also Assorted Mesh fixes - Mesh Patch naming is confusing as there at least 3 files that somewhat fit the name yet none its exactly that name

Aylis · January 12, 2023

It's quite easy:

Assorted Mesh fixes - Mesh Patch is for Assorted mesh fixes.

No idea whats confusing there...

Probably because there is multiple patch linked to the same mod page that have multiple file, like this: Assorted Mesh fixes - Mesh Patch and SMIM - Quality Addon - Unofficial Material Fix Patch

while in the nexus file its quite obvious which file this SMIM - Quality Addon - Unofficial Material Fix Patch was
the Assorted Mesh fixes - Mesh Patch one is not so much, like there is 6 file that have Assorted Mesh fixes in its name

Aylis · January 12, 2023

@Hiskiel

Ah, now i get it. Fixed

I thought the use of the second file was the issue...

Edited January 12, 2023 by Aylis

unnameable · January 12, 2023

Icy Mesh Remaster updated on Jan 10th and the FOMOD changed. The options listed on the notes don't match the mod.

I downloaded version 1.7 for the time being.

Origins of Forest and Origins Of Forest - 3D Forest Grass are two links, but it seems they are the same thing?

Out of curiosity, why all the separate links for Mari's flora textures there is an AIO?

Edited January 12, 2023 by unnameable

Aylis · January 12, 2023

@unnameable

1. Will take a look

2. Was a doublette. Fixed

3. We're using Cathedral when the models are better than the ones Mari uses. And i want it easier (aka separate in this case) if there's a problem.

Going through some pictures for loading screens reminded me of something

Spoiler

Tupsu looked at the horizon and said 'I love these mountains, hills and valleys'.

Thorsten gazed at the shore of the near lake and said 'Me too!'

When he told me about that i was just sipping coffee... And had to clean my desk after that (he loves to pull stunts like this).

Ict Mesh Remaster doesn't seem to have changed that much - theres just one removed option, and a whole new page in the FOMOD.
Page 1: no option 1.4 - Icy Fixes
Page 2: changed - no option for Iceflow skirt, still options for meshes
Page 3: Icy Fixes page - 3.1: yes, 3.2 - match poly consistency of page 1

Pages 4,5,6 - was pages 3,4,5

Guess who's updating his skyrim mod list in preparation for a weeks leave next week.

Mind you give me the options you picked, the FOMOD and the one in the guide have me confused.

Sure - but bare in mind, untested - I'm still reinstalling all the mods in the world. But this is what I've picked, and I can't see anything that would clash with what Aylis picked in the older version:

Spoiler

1.1 Pick what you want (I'm on high end machine, so tend to max everything and just went with High Poly)
1.2 Match to 1.1
1.3 No
2.1 No

2.2 No

2.3 No

3.1 Enable

3.2 Match to 1.1 (but not partitioned - wasn't picked in 2.2)
4.1 None
4.2 None

4.3 RIS - your choice

5.1 None

5.2 None

5.3 RIS

6.1 RIS

I think you need a note to check Payload Interpreter off when running Nemesis. It's listed in the mod instructions for it.

No. You only have to tick the box in Nemesis for it.

At this point it might be a good idea to add the loadorder of the 40?ish esm/esls to the hints before the questions start.

Eli's Breezehome Optimization Packages for the non potato systems. Better LUX patch and navmesh integration for JK's Whiterun.

Make sure to pick the correct Fishing CC patch, there are different ones for ESP & ESPFE, and manually uncheck the Breezehome patch LUX wants to install on its own.

Aylis · January 13, 2023

Update to 0.9.9

A few more details, bugfixes, patches and a finally fully working predone set for the body. I also made sure everything is in exactly the same order as here on my system.

This should be the last big change (hopefully the grass caching is easy to integrate) and only smaller changes from now on. *knocks on wood*
