Is Fur Shader Armors missing? There are patches for it, but not the actual mod unless I'm blind. Getting lots of purple fur textures. Everything else looks fantastic.

Guys, I finally reached the Sex Mods tab and can you please suggest some other compatible sex mods to add to my build? I was hoping to try out Devious Devices, but I don't see it on the list.

Just curious, but what average FPS do you people get on high resolutions?

 

I have a GTX3080 with a powerful CPU+RAM and I ended up getting 35-45 FPS in the wilderness or large cities, and combat became unplayable.

I'm on 1440p with a Radeon 6900XT and like I said above I'm getting around 50-55 in most places, 25-40 in large battles (like civil war stuff), solitude/riften and some locations in the wilderness, especially in the southern holds.

Granted I took some liberties with the install (herp derp) and installed all the highest texture packs (4K or 8k lol). 80%+ of the issues are probably my fault.

 

Now I'm reinstalling and following the guide to the letter. Any heavy mods from the (Blue   "Essential") list I can drop that have big perfomance impact while keeping good looks?

I want it to look good and combat be fluid.

You've correctly pinpointed the issue in this, essentially, look at the size of the items the textures apply to to fix the issue. Essentially, you want to ignore 8K textures entirely, it's pointless compared to 4K, you gain nothing much from it, and it taxes resources exponentially (the difference between 512x512 and 1K isn't 2x but 4x, because you can fit 4 512x512 textures inside one 1024x1024 texture, same story between 1K and 2K, 2K and 4K, and 4K and 8K). There probably doesn't exist a single computer that can run Skyrim exclusively with 8K textures. Then go with things you look at often and take them in 4K (characters, armors, weapons, monsters and such), then environment stuff that you won't be able to avoid seeing the details of, you take them in 2K (things like trees, buildings, walls, doors, furniture, etc), then small critters, clutter, harvestable plants and such, essentially small things but that can be seen relatively frequently, you take them in 1K. Finally, things that are extremely small, like coins, take them in the smallest available resolution. Of course, this is basically a rule of thumb kind of thing, some things don't offer 4K that I would put in 4K, well pick the biggest, some things I'd put in less than 1K but don't offer below 1K, well, 1K will have to do, but generally, that's the idea. you sacrifice texture size of things you won't look at too closely or are too small to see the details of for more performance. When you've done that, you can then look at your FPS again and see if it's still unacceptably low to you. Then perhaps look at ENB Light's settings as it has several that have FPS costs, perhaps sacrificing a few of the higher cost ones will help, and so on and so forth. I don't think there's a specific list of "blue" mods that are listed as costly in terms of FPS that can be dropped since, the list is made with using all of them in mind.

It was removed I believe because it kept creating issues, you can probably drop the patches, also might want to make a list of said patches and where they are in the list and tag Aylis on it so they can be removed as they might have been forgotten.

There was a conversation on that earlier, essentially, for DD, you want to use Devious Devices NG, it's still actively in development but most things work fine, and it supports 3BA, but you won't get support from Aylis on it. As for other specific SL mods, I don't think we're there yet list-wise, I think listing SL mods that are compatible but unsupported by Aylis will be sort of a group effort after Aylis is done with making the list entirely. I personally haven't added a single SL quest mod outside of what's in the list, perhaps only a few frameworks for specific things that annoyed me, but yeah. I think for specific sex mods, it's more like, when you're done setting everything up, start adding the ones that interest you one by one and see if they work, that's probably how I'll be playing around myself.

There is a choice of prostitution mods:

Radiant Prostitution, TDF Prostitution and Pimping, The Ancient Profession.

 

SexLab Pleasure adds contextualized lines you can say to certain NPCs to have sex with them. Sexlab Romance does something a bit more sohpisticated.

 

Confabulation and Solutions gives you sex as an option to complete certain quests.

 

SexLab Dragons. You are the Dragonborn after all, this might have been how that happened.

 

iLuvLoading simply gives you sexy loading screens, great artworks too.

 

Sexlab Achievements if you like that sort of thing.

 

Arousal Based Matchmaker and Sexlab approach for random sex.

 

Dangerous Nights for the survival experience.

 

And of course find a few attractive companions to share in your exploits.

I have not been able to test any of that.

 

I don't use DD since it's not my thing and I find the experience restrictive, literally.

I'm pretty sure that Aylis' list will be enough to get started. I was just installing OSL Aroused and it asked me if I wanted to install a patch for Devious Devices, so I started digging, lol.

 

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the most problem mods are the scripted ones, as they can conflict with other mods in the build. While animations and other decorative mods like objects, outfits or tattoos are compatible with almost everything.

Aside from those already mentioned, I have had no problems so far with Sexlab Pheromones or Soulgem Oven Integration Fork.

I would actually say the problem mods are mainly found in 3 categories:

- Hooking on container closing (Quickloot EE will for sure make them not work, except for the ones you need to lockpick, cause it seems lockpicking forces the open container interface to pop up.) ie, Deviously Cursed Loot and I think there was an attempted remake of it, Devious Enchanted Chest I think was the name? unless the remake has a patch to handle quickloot it's likely not gonna work.

- Adding buildings or otherwise modifying the landscape, especially close around cities (they usually put it directly outside Whiterun). There's a high chance that with all the "Outside cities" city expansion mods, it's gonna conflict somehow.

- Adding something to existing buildings (especially the ones that have been modified by the city overhauls). Same reason as above.

 

For instance, a few versions back, I tried the new DD quest mod, I think it's called "Trapped"? something like that. It has 2 "chapters", and it's essentially a DD escape room mod of sort, it was interesting, the first level had 0 issues in general, because it uses it's own cell for practically everything, except to start it which it uses a courier note telling you to go ask for a specific drink in the Dragon's Bridge inn, before teleporting you to said unique cell. The second quest which pops up a bit later is incredibly buggy, not because it edits an existing cell, although it does (edits the cave where Finn's lute is found, iirc, removing the collapsed cave near where the boss chest room is and adding a transition to a new cell where essentially most of the mod takes place), no the issue is everything is so heavily scripted (not in a there's a billion scripts running, more like the quest itself is scripted that it sort of intends you to play it in a certain way exactly with little to no deviation, and unfortunately, it is not clear) that unless you have the walkthrough near you, and are willing to use the console commands to cheat and learn about how the DD lock system works (essentially, it equips an unnamed object and so long as that's equipped you can't unequip the DD item normally, and each DD object has it's own unnamed lock object, which means it's a game of whack-a-mole with the `showinventory` and `player.removeitem` commands every single time you get forced into a buggy object, which it happens a lot) and then there's the parts where the main captor NPC will at points essentially tell you to eat stuff with her, but since everything is owned by her, trying to take food counts as stealing, and turns her hostile and- yeah, basically, the idea was honestly really good, the execution is too scripted, to the point that even using the walkthrough I had to cheat a lot and `tcl` and forcefully unequip/reequip DD items because it's a fucking mess. At the end of it all I was like "the idea was great, the execution terrible, I'm glad I played it, never playing it again though."

@Aylis Unplayable Faction Armors - Dawnguard Sentries Patch also requires Dawnguard Sentries that was removed

 

Also The Courier Crew - Revoiced provides an optional file for both Courier Crew and Courier Delivers to NPCs so you might add it as well.

 

And Natural Waterfalls has a patch that requires Water for ENB so it should be reinstalled after deleting.

MO2 does throw out error messages if something has to be changed. Do i really have to add that too?

 

 

@JyJyporridge

Correct. Also fixed.

__________________________________________________

 

The old mods in storage (aka mods i used before) are below 10% of what i had when i started the rework. Most of them were either not working or not needed anymore. Others already ended up in the guide or got a better replacement. The rest should be gone soon.

 

Plans for now:

1. Rechecking gameplay mods.

    Something like Book Of Shadows - Behaviour Based Stealth Additions or Just Cast It - Magic Rebound.

2. Looking for fixes:

    Something like Realistic AI Detection (RAID).

3. Rechecking patches

    This is complicated. Especially if patches only work for a specific version of a mod and nobody tells you about that.

4. Rechecking for redundant mods.

    Already managed to get rid of a lot of mods before they got added. But some might have slipped through, got obsolete later on or vanished from Nexus.

Probably not to the main modlist, but to this particular changelog. It is not necessary, but can be a helpful tip for users who had Water ENB installed with patched Waterfalls for it, and receive an error message after deleting Water ENB.

Guys, I finally reached the Sex Mods tab and can you please suggest some other compatible sex mods to add to my build? I was hoping to try out Devious Devices, but I don't see it on the list.

I'm running Devious Devices & DeviousNG, plus Deviously Acccessble for a fairly lightweight approach to DD (there's a few relatively lightweight quest lines). Deviously Vanilla might also be worth a look at as it adds some DD elements to a few quest lines.

 

Laura's Bondage Shop is set of quests with a good story, I really liked this one, but it may have a few issues with a heavily mod list, last played it through about a year go, can't remeber any breaking issues at the time.

 

Additionaly I run Dripping When ArounsedNG, Sexlab Fill Her Up, Horrible Harrassment, SlaveTats, Sexlab Pheromones, Fever Dreams and TDF Prostitution, Sexlab Sex Fame Reloaded, these generally just to tweak the sexual environment in various ways.

So, after I somehow managed to break my install to the point that it wouldn't even boot halfway through the list, I'm attempting a fresh install with a quick jump through the early sections which gave me no issues prior, and noticed a detail as I was reviewing the Meshes section.

Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods wants to be loaded below the mods it'll be modifying, but those grass mods are two sections down. Judging by the list provided by the mod author, it looks like it should go below QW Grass 2 for ENB Complex Grass at the least.

Edit: OA also recommends use of the Generic Grass Limiter with Folkvangr. May or may not be necessary, but I do remember the lumber mill in Riverwood getting quite overwhelmed after the flora section during my prior install.

A few questions regarding sex mods category:

 

1. How many animations do you guys have? I've been looking for animations on the SE Compatibility Tracking page and have downloaded most of green-tagged animations, I'm wondering if that will be enough to move forward with installing SLSB conversions and running FNIS. On the other hand, some of the animations has the ESP plugin and since I'm slowly reaching the plugins limit, I’d like to know if I should skip some of the smaller animation packs.

 

2. Where should I put the .esl file from SexLab - ZaZ - Rabbit and Chicken Death Fix?

For the first 3 categories that I left, all the mods left are not in the main page, which means I have to guess where to place it in the mod and load order.

For the Breton Paladin LOTD patch, it requires the Breton Paladin mod's esp, which the instructions say to disable, meaning the mod reports a missing master.

 

EDIT: Also for Drift Material Fixes, do we take Parallax or not?

Hi, my new install is progressing apparently well. However, after installing the "PC" and "NPC" sections, several hairstyles cause "holes" in the hair and the scalp clips out of the hair. I believe is caused by a combination of HiPoly heads/Hair and something else on the list. I had the same issue in my previous install and I fixed it somehow, but I don't know how. Does anyone else encounter the same issue?

1. Personally I went with https://gist.github.com/MissCorruption/887725102fb18d96d43e26555e008bbb#slsb-packs (this is the SexLab P+ FAQ stuff) to get anim packs since that ensures they'll work (I didn't pick them all, I just picked roughly half, the ones that interested me or that I'd heard of previously). Also, use Pandora not FNIS.

 

2. I personally just dumped it in the regular ZAZ Animation Pack 8.0+ HDT's mod folder, I don't think I'm gonna reinstall it anytime soon, so. I imagine you can also put it into it's own little mod folder.
