The Sisterhood of Dibella finally got ported by the OA!

 

Hopefully this will work out fine (downloading right now) and can be added to the guide. Its one of the questmods that i really liked but ran into issues with.

That is good news!

 

Does anyone have advice on how to make the The Sisterhood of Dibella generic NPCs that are part of this mod better looking? At least in my game, they... well, they don't match the other NPCs...

Hey guys I'm updating my mod list and I gotta ask why was "Go to bed - Legacy Settings Loader" removed? It's currently up to date with the current ver of "Go to Bed", is there some other incompatibility?

Have you ever thought about making a simplified or lite modpack?

With much of the mods like "cabbage" removed and possibly replaced with more AIO mods.

 

I have fully followed your guide once, most of the time I hand pick out the mods I consider important the most impactfull or necessary for LL playthough.

XilaMonstrr has been churning out quite a few texture repacks lately.

Just tried it, I then deleted the files directly that are overwriting and was still getting the same. I then reinstalled Fair skin complexion a few times and tested it. From what I observed while moving around is that it's a reflection from light sources and I have no idea how to go about fixing this. While it's not game breaking if anyone has an idea I'd appreciate the help.

[alaunus01]

I would try rebuilding your body within bodyslide too.

 

If that doesn't help maybe reinstall high poly head?

 

And then I am out of ideas. ?‍♂️

Anyone know which mod is supposed to add parallax terrain textures? I am getting the fun spiky texture on some terrain due to what I am guessing are missing parallax compatible terrain textures. I am going through the files now to see if I install something with the incorrect settings but if anyone else has some input that would be awesome.

 

*Edit I uploaded a picture of the bug im seeing even after reinstalling Skyland AIO. Did I get a setting wrong somewhere or do I have something else going wrong?

You sure that's not supposed to be there? Unless it's the angle, that doesn't look like some sort of random weirdness (at least, nothing generated by the engine). Can't remember where, but it does kind of look familiar actually.

I have the same in many places, not idea if it's normal or not.

Anyone know what the issue is with kathspire and 'full AE'? (Also, what is considered to be full AE?)

 

 

@AylisLove the new post AE list. Looking forward to trying out some of the new mods.

If you bought Skyrim Special Edition and you have it at its last update is "Lite AE".
If you bought the Skyrim Anniversary Edition DLC you have "Full AE".

That's what I understood.

Don't know if it's the only thing, but the Spell Knight quest requires you to go to Karthspire to find something. Said thing is inside one of the pillars that's added by the mod. I leave Ryn's mod enabled because I rarely give a shit about that armor and if I do want it I can just tcl through the pillar.

Ryn's Karthspire breaks progression in one of the CC quests.

@Dressblood

@wollboi

@alaunus01

 

I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

[Tops34]

For Ryn's Karthspire there is a patch at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/82657?tab=description

I have found it completely goes away by disabling the terrain parallax and complex terrain parallax under the end settings so it seems to be a bug with a texture, a mesh, or a setting in the ENB profile. Going to take me a while to work through all the possibilities tho as the mod list is extensive. Shall start trying to hunt it down tomorrow.

HOTFIX

Added the patch for Karthspire and (hopefully) clarified the information for it.

@FlaccidOrange

It wasn't as compatible as the OA said and caused issues.

 

 

@zato770

The lite version is a build without the optional files. ?

 

And as long there's no AIO for all textures (like the one for FO4) we're stuck with so many small additional files.

 

 

@Sleeepz

Looks like either an issue with overlays (freckles come to mind) or a mismatching setting for the skin to me.

 

It should look more like this:

Spoiler

 

 

@darqonus @Dressblood

Where exactly do you see that? 

 

Changing a few settings in the 'enbseries.ini' might fix it.

Spoiler

EnableComplexGrass=true
EnableComplexGrassCollisions=true
    EnableTerrainBlending=false
    EnableTerrainParallax=true
    EnableComplexParallax=true
EnableComplexParallaxShadows=true
    EnableComplexTerrainParallax=true
EnableComplexTerrainParallaxShadows=true

They are included in the file i uploaded before.

 

 

@Dressblood

You understood it perfectly.

 

 

@Tops34

Thanks. Added to the guide.

Sadly i'm running into issues with the new version of The Sisterhood of Dibella. While the faces per se look fine (Senna looks nice) the other NPC got the black face bug.

I'm trying to find a fix for that...

DeepBlueFrog accidentally uploaded some faulty facegens and is in the process of pulling them. Known issue. ?

Yep, just read it (happy that i didn't screw something up ;)).

 

And it will save me hours trying to fix it.

@DeepBlueFrog added instructions that fix the faces. So his mod will be added in the next update.

Just outside of Whiterun facing the entrance gate. I will try and take a better picture when I am off work later.

 

I can confirm I was running the included file untouched when I took that picture.

Found the solution:

It can happen that the enb-cache isn't working for the game anymore. This usually happens after an update or changes to the settings. Deleting the content of the cache folder forces the creation of new files that then 'fit' again.

@AylisDo these voice lines work with the SE ver? The link is pointing to its LE Page but would it still work?

In general it doesn't matter if a sound mod is for LE or SE as long it only contains soundfiles.

 

For this specific one: it seems to work fine (i'm not that far in the questline).

Running into a strange problem with DynDOLOD. For some reason, it does not like any of the flavors of SSE Terrain Tamriel. Whenever I run DynDOLOD, it says permanently remove it. Unsure what's going on here. 

 

Edit: Nvrmnd. Instructions were really not clear.
