Skyrim AE for Beginners - V 3.1.0


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

And there's an issue.

 

DynDOLOD is an external program that shouldn't be installed/show up in a mod manager.

 

For basics watch this:

For billboards we use TexGen.

I just found the culprit!

 

I always thought there was something wrong with the creation of the LOD. The distant mountains were too bright and that vanished when you got closer to them. I reran DynDOLOD several times with different configurations, tried all available patches i could find, to fix that but nothing really helped.

To cut it short 'Seasonal Landscapes' was interfering. It looks like some of the textures are not completely working with parallax and caused the issue. Adding the new texture pack below 'Seasonal Landscapes' seems to finally fix the problem.

And the standard map is finally looking fine too.

Next rerun of DynDOLOD...

 

I have this exact issue with the Ice and Snow, i figure it must be RIS and Icy since they are marked to be removed but i wonder if thats even the case?

So I have been encountering a hilarious bug after finally downloading the mod list, whenever I perform a kill move on an NPC, it will also kill my PC as well.

sounds like VioLENs issue, maybe even FNIS/Nemesis

DynDOLOD seems to be going to the wrong directory for the data folder:

I have my AE on my C drive, DynDOLOD is going to my D drive

 

know of a way to fix this?

 

Found a fix for that

now DynDOLOD isn't loading "plugins.txt" properly, check the folder, it's not there, any help?

Found fix!

That was my first idea too. But the bug still showed up after i removed the mods.

 

I knew it was caused by a mesh/texture conflict, i only had trouble finding the exact cause. My own texture patch tried to fix that, but is'nt, as i now found out, complete and is still missing some of the required textures. The nasty thing is that some of those textures seemed to be unrelated to the issue as they don't change the mountains directly (i was looking for that). Bethesda uses textures all over the place but the name of the textures doesn't reflect that. So you modify some textures for Riften and suddenly Solitude looks different...

 

Thats why i try to use AIO as much as possible. This way the textures come from one source and fit together. Sadly we don't have one big pack, like the one for FO4, and i have to add so many small mods to get the details right. Especially in first person you'd notice the differences in texture quality otherwise. And i hate it when something sticks out like this!

 

The drawback is that some conflicts have hidden issues and it is very very hard to even find the beginning of a possible fix for those. 

 

Anyway, with the next update: ?utminigun.gif.4777a400747e3224c6b1caf9eec0efe0.gif

Dont skyrim 2022/23 (the one with huge File sizes) solves this by having pretty much everything?

Well, exited for the next update as currently i only have 2 issues: Green Fog and Ice/snow sticking out too bright at least it isnt RIS or Icy i do like them

Sadly not. With it we'll run into those overly bright mountains again (already tried them) and i don't like quite a few of his choices on top of that.

Shame, i do like the style the creator uses.

What snow/ice texture do you plan to use? (RIS updated a few days ago, supposedly it fixed the issues with the bright roads for Roads and Stone) 

(will check myself past tomorrow when i have time)
Also, its just me or we dont have anything for the water visuals?

'The Omnibus' plus 'Simplicity of Snow'

'Simplicity of Sea'

Are all the mods on the left side supposed to show up blue? (except for creation club obvi)

Yes, if you mark an ESM/ESL/ESP it will show you on the other side where it comes from (same for mods if they got an ESM/ESL/ESP). 

__________________________________________________

 

Darn, i have to start over with DynDOLOD. My generated textures are outdated and don't work with the newest update of DynDOLOD.

 

I HATE redoing DynDOLOD. Three hours wasted on creating textures to run into a version issue...

 im at [Bodyslide] Guards Armor Replacer - 3BA the file is hidden so i was looking at your predones because of it

The files with [Bodyslide] should be skipped. I list them only to have a complete list. The 'Predone Bodyslides' (see 'Files') already cover them  but there is no predone for guard armor or is it under 1 of the armor predones ?

As a non-optional armor it is included in 'Zeroed Armor'.

DynDOLOD finally finished and everything is looking fine. So there will be an update tomorrow (got to make a comparison to the guide and then a list first).

enb2023_3_11_09_28_55.jpg.07f3274c1532e748653aa95aa2cdb390.jpg

 

And no issues during daylight or at dusk/dawnenb2023_3_11_17_53_05.jpg.8c12227632bba92bd4178a8075cc4b3a.jpg

 

In addition to that i also got rid of the fugly 2D dead bushes.

 

Finished stuff:

Combat                   : finished with the next update

Companions            : maybe a few more

Convenience           : got a few i still have to check

Gameplay                : got a few i still have to check

Landscape               : finished with the next update (unless Ryn or JK drop more mods)

Magic                      finished with the next update

PC/NPC                   finished with the next update (unless Nithi drops more replacer for NPC)

Quests                     got two that i still have to check

Visuals                     : 99% finished (i keep the last percent for small details i might still find ;)).

 

Missing mods: 

Immersive camera  : Waiting for an update

No grass in objects : Waiting for an update of a required mod

The answer to that is in the third post above your question. ;)

Hi, again!I am affraid that i am really struggling with the installation method/order/ choice options of this mod list.

I have just finished the "foundation" mod list and i fear of what i am about to view going down further.

My problem is that i find mods listed, that their fomod present options for additional installments to work as patches that are based on pressumed active mods in the final modlist (after all sections supposedly have been installed).  

 

I try to search for those additional mods further down the sections that i have not yet reached, with mixed results (either i find them or not).

 

To make long story short, if a fomod installation offers/mentions additional patches (eg compatibility with smim) or different versions for a specific features (eg enb light version or parallax or whatever) and there is no "Aylis commentary on istallation method" for that mod, what am i supposed to chooze? Should i choose nothing because another mod that is listed down further will take care of things?

 

Thanks!

@Aylis Wait what's the difference between the ZaZ Animation Pack that you listed vs this one that seems more up to date? With a quick glance the biggest difference I see is that the one that's "up-to-date" is form 44 vs the og being 43.
