Btw. I reworked a few groups so it should be more usable with a Laptop.

 

Thank you for that! This time I'm starting a new game after every group of mods, and so far I'm still at a solid 60 FPS. Of course I'm only down to the World Locations [Exterior Cities], so I still have a long way to go.

It seems like today is a day for a couple of big mod updates:

 

Cracked Tusk Keep <--- got a big update. Probably needs to be checked later.
RedBag's Falkreath - Half-Moon Mill Patches <--- is now included in the main installer

 

Also, IMMORTAN and children of the hist got updates, so will have to check if I need to adjust my patches for them once I finished downloading them. Let's hope nexus fixed their servers...

 

----------------------

 

Their servers still have problems... had to download immortan twice... But at least all my npc related patches aren't affected from the updates and still work like they should.

 

-------------------

 

Environs - Abandoned Abodes - Patch Collection                                                                Had only a patch for 'RS Children'.

That also had a 3dnpc patch.

 

 

 

---------------------

 

wait... I forgot about RDO... will have to see how that affects the npc patches.

Editing time ran out...

 

Just learned, that Alternate Start esp should be below the Guard Dialogue Overhaul in the loadorder. First time I saw xedit say something like that.

-----------------------

No, RDO doesn't mess with my npc patches, so they are still fine.

The cause is one of the 26 CCs that have been included in AE as is the goblins CC.

 

Really? I only got 4 of the CCs when I got the free upgrade to AE. Are they available to download for those of us who don't have them?

 If you start the game, they should download automatically unless you set up something that would prevent that. At least if you actually have the Anniversary Edition. If you have only four CCs then you only have the special edition and would need to upgrade to the AE.

Yes they are available, but you have to buy them.

Heh, buying them directly would work too, I guess. At least to have them. But you'd still be on a different game version there, so instead of buying the creations, buy the anniversary edition upgrade.

 

As far as I know, only the special edition upgrade was free. The Anniversary Edition always had to be bought.

OK, so I have the AE upgrade from SSE that was offered to SSE owners in 2021, which gave players 4 CC items - Fishing/Survival Mode/Saints & Seducers/Rare Curios. And my Skyrim version is 1.6.1170. So I'm on AE but do not have Goblins or The Cause.

 

My original comment stands.

I have 1.6.1170. That's AE. It's not the paid AE, but it's AE. I'm sure I'm not the only one. My comment stands. Aylis can choose to ignore my comment, or make a note on the Black Gold Mine entry.

I know quite a few people who play skyrim on the same version as you, and refuse to buy the paid update version, simply because they do not want all those other creations permanently in their load order, because lets face it most of them are utter crap, or trivial junk that they do not want or have better versions of them for free from nexus or other sites. 

 

You do have a point, I have noticed quite a few other mod list creates switching to that version of AE as well.  However as Aylis does not do custom conflict patches it should be easy enough to just disable that mod, or any other mod you don't want.

Update is done.

__________________________________________________

 

@PubliusNV

Thanks for the info.

 

I added a comment to the mod to make users aware of it. Should you encounter more of this please tell me about it. As I do have the paid addition I might miss (or forget about) this problem.

 

P.S.

Reworked 'Armors - Vanilla' for that.

 

@YuFeng

Your patches are integrated now (still checking if I missed one).

 

The newest version of 'Environs - Abandoned Abodes - Patch Collection' shows up empty after a new installation. So it is not needed anymore.

__________________________________________________

 

Now it going back to work on the intended update for all added armors, weapons and replacers. I'll most likely have to redo the page for the 'Predone zeroed Bodyslides'. Maybe I'll split them into 'Vanilla Armors' and 'Additional Armors'.

Thank you very much. I am awed and grateful for all the work you continue to put into this.

 

My last checkpoint was after installing the PC section, and running around Whiterun and then to the Eastern Watchtower (where I had major problems a month ago) I'm still getting 59-60 FPS except for a slight dip to 54 FPS around the stables. So far I think the new trees are a great addition.

Sounds good. 😊

 

The stable area always was problematic in regard to FPS. Now, with the addition of 'EFPS' (comes later in the guide), it smoothed out. There's still a slight dip but it got much better. 

 

And, as you are still close to the group, refresh the page. One of the last changes was adding roofs to 'JK's Fort Dawnguard'. The important part is that I'm finished adding changes to the landscape/locations (all options I wanted are in now). So no more rerunning of the grass cache and DynDOLOD.

The instructions for installing Lydia of Whiterun say to choose the IFD + Free Housecarls option for patches. This generates a dependency on the Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia mod, which I don't see in the list. 

 

Should Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia be added, or should the install instructions for Lydia of Whiterun specify just Free Housecarls instead of IFD + Free Housecarls?

Did you remove Guard Dialogue Overhaul because you didn't want Alternate Start loading below it? :D We could have made a patch.

 

It also should load below RDO, but that too can be patched.

It already is. Check 'Sound - Character'.

No, it started to get issues. Sometimes it worked fine, then it didn't. I set it up and still got, at Lvl. 1 with 15 sneak, more than once sneak-thief comments without doing anything...

 

Quote
  • A handful of records conflict between RDO and (AS)LAL. RDO includes the changes made to these conflicting records by (AS)LAL, and therefore should be loaded after (AS)LAL so that changes from both mods are applied.

Its fine, or did I misunderstand that part?

Well depends... if it is before RDO then there will be messages about dragons before they showed up for the first time. If that's not a concern, then you can load RDO after alternate life.

 

Funnily enough, RDO had the condition of a dragon being killed before that started, but that was removed in RDO Updated. We can patch that in, though.

Hotfix (will be added to the last update)

Now I can add 'Done' to the last entry... All known 'Black Faces' are fixed.

 

Spoiler

World - Quests

Save the Icerunner - Lights Out Alternate Routes                                               Moved from 'Gameplay - Foundation'. Avoiding a patch...

 

Sound - Characters

Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia                                                                     WTH was this missing?

Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia - Lipsync Minor Fix

 

Patches

Project Cougar - Tilma the (mildly less) Haggard                                               Tilma is healed now...

Project Cougar - Tilma - AI Overhaul Patch

 

The funny thing is that 'Save the Icerunner' was in quests and I moved it down to avoid 'Black Faces'. Now its up again to fix the same issue.

Saving that patch that way should work since AI Overhaul does have something with the same name there what probably keeps the two npc in Solitude or something.

 

Also, once again, thank you for the update :3

 

----

Well.. just found out, that save the icerunner should be below The Choice is yours, or we'd need a patch for that too, so better move it down again :P

 

-------------------

 

Speaking of patches. Here are some new ones. Isn't that nice?

 

 First is a patch for all the people using the optional Free Housecarls mod from the Followers section in the guide.

 

Since we do have the Improved Follower Dialogue for Lydia now, we do need a patch for everyone not using the optional "Lydia of Whiterun" mod from the Followers section. Here I made a FOMOD to cover both Free Housecarls and no Free Housecarls options.

 

If you are using the Free Housecarls mod, you will need to use the patch with both Lydia options. Load it directly after the Free Housecarls mod. The second patch for Lydia is only needed, if you are not using the "Lydia of Whiterun" mod and use the Lydia look provided by IMMORTAN.

 

 

IMMORTAN - Free Housecarls Patch.7z IMMORTAN - Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia Patch.7z
