thegoodbuoy0 Posted September 17, 2025 Posted September 17, 2025 ooo.. since missives is planned to be added this time, I believe that Bounties redone would go well with missives and I highly recommend it. I have used it with the previous version of this modlist and can confirm that it doesn't conflict with SL defeat. 1
gurugeorge Posted September 18, 2025 Posted September 18, 2025 Excuse me, but for the life of me I can't find anywhere the likely size of this on disk (not the downloads, the actual installation). Does anyone know offhand? I should think it's at least a couple of hundred gigs but probably more? Running a bit low on space atm, that's why I need to check! TIA
Aylis Posted September 18, 2025 Author Posted September 18, 2025 (edited) @gurugeorge I might have overdone it (everything possible in 4K) and including DynDOLOD. 545GB But this will go drastically down if you select lower res texture packs. I just found 'Anniversary Edition and Creation Club - Everything Upscaled' and this mod seems to be a bit extreme... Although it might be a good idea to use the separate files for armors and weapons. 🤔 __________________________________________________ Got a smaller solution, no need for a giant patch or a dozen separate ones: CCC - Upscaled and Cleaned Textures Edited September 18, 2025 by Aylis
KCOLL Posted September 18, 2025 Posted September 18, 2025 (edited) i use this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/138164?tab=description with a mod on top of that called the new normal https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/140662 very pleased with it looks awesome! about 100 g total add this on top for PBR and it looks pretty good https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/139889 but none of this is for cc or very little of it Edited September 18, 2025 by KCOLL 1
Aylis Posted September 18, 2025 Author Posted September 18, 2025 (edited) @KCOLL I might add those as an option. _________________________________________________ Overlays are in. Named mer (aka 'the elves') got a visual upgrade. IMMORTAN is perfect for human races and unnamed NPC but the named mer looked a bit stale. And roughly a dozen mods didn't make it into the guide.

Skjall Posted September 18, 2025 Posted September 18, 2025 Does the colour code for grey underlined mods in Shaders category have any meaning? Are they required or optional ?

DRYAZER Posted September 18, 2025 Posted September 18, 2025 Hello, I'm modding skyrim right now, I have completed the section of campanions right now. As I was testing i found that the mod IMMORTAN - Interesting NPC gives me infinite loading. Could it be because I don't have mod Immersive World Encounters that is hidden by the autor right now? Could someone be so kind to upload this mod for me to download from somewhere? Thanks have a nice day
Aylis Posted September 18, 2025 Author Posted September 18, 2025 @DRYAZER Quote This mod is temporarily unavailable while the mod author updates the mod page information. He'll be back. 1

Magma57 Posted September 18, 2025 Posted September 18, 2025 (edited) Skyland PBR is not compatible with Nordic Ruins PBR ... Took me about 3 hours at unselecting one PBR mod at a time and rebuildfing PGPatcher Output to find out why I had spikes everywhere in bleak falls barrow ground 🫠 It's probably because we didn't select landscape option in Skyland AIO Fomod, as Skyland PBR includes landscapes. Deactivating Skyland PBR is the best solution ATM. EDIT: it seems like it also fixes the mismatch snow color on some rocks, but I need to confirm that on different lighting conditions.

This lack of consistency is so non-German, that it made me confused and concerned I missed some important info. 😛 Ask LL why I'm not allowed to fix the colors for them (I already tried). I'll rework the links when I have the spare time (and finally had a good nights sleep). 😇 @Magma57 PG-Patcher is clever and ignores textures in packs that are not used. Quote The reason for this is that PGPatcher analyzes your load order, finds whatever meshes you have that point to any of the remastered textures and patches those meshes to use these PBR textures instead (as well as the shader properties PBR requires). This way its automatically compatible with any mesh replacers, kitbashed armors, whatever you may have. Rocks look fine to me: I'm downgrading textures atm. so no DynDOLOD. Spoiler Spikes? Give me a Screenshot (in spoilers) so I can make a comparison. __________________________________________________ 3.0.3 is wrapped up and the last-minute fixes added into the guide. This should be the last big update for 3.X. Now (once i finished the texture downgrade) I'll focus on smaller things. Khajiit need some love, working on medieval armors (atm we're halfway there), QoL, gameplay additions etc. Question of the day: Spoiler Do Khajiit purr? 🤔 Edited September 19, 2025 by Aylis

Blimey, that's big. I've been thinking of getting another M.2 anyway though so this is incentive Just out of curiosity though, I notice in your latest update just there, you're getting rid of parallax stuff. Why is that may I ask? Last time I played Skyrim the parallax stuff was pretty cool, has it been superseded by something else? Edited September 19, 2025 by gurugeorge
KCOLL Posted September 19, 2025 Posted September 19, 2025 LOL parallax is so old school! the new fashion is PBR! And next month comes XYZ

Right now I'm downgrading some texture packs to 2K to reduce the overload. Dropping 545GB mods on the head of a game with 16,5GB is unwise (my excuse is testing the limits of what can be done😊). Quote I've been thinking of getting another M2 anyway though so this is incentive Always a good idea, but remember that with modding 1,8TB fill up fast. I guess I'll need to get a bigger one too... 10 minutes ago, KCOLL said: LOL parallax is so old school! the new fashion is PBR! And next month comes XYZ So true.

KCOLL Posted September 19, 2025 Posted September 19, 2025 Just went from a 1 terabyte mve to a 2 terabyte mve I'm getting ready for skyblivion! For some reason the transfer went kaboom and i had to rebuild from point zero to game is back and running took 4 weeks to get it right. Skyrim ae for beginners is somewhere around 800gig i think? it is the base i use to build my playlist much larger just over 1 terabyte now.
KCOLL Posted September 19, 2025 Posted September 19, 2025 (edited) My game is always in flux. Always trying something new .Always in a reinstall mode. I so rarely get to level 40 anymore because I'm always trashing it but each time i learn a little bit more. Spend more time on nexus and in mo2 than playing the game. But oh boy is it a pretty thing now! Edited September 19, 2025 by KCOLL
Kamikatana Posted September 19, 2025 Posted September 19, 2025 (edited) For 3.03., for the new NPC Children mods that need "AI Overhaul", do we need to switch the AI Overhaul Lite ESL to the standing one? not sure what was the intent since the normal AI Overhaul is now a missing master.
