I asked this a few pages back, OP said to put them before RS children. Just a heads up though, that for BWY some of the posters are going to be floating in mid air just because of the fact there is no real patch for the updated landscapes as the only patches do exist are for BWY 1.2 and we are on 1.5

 

Edit: Wench body goes where all the other body options go towards the bottom of the load order.

sorry, I also have the "KS Hairdos patch" where would I use this?

I don't know, I use the hairs in the mod-list

@Aylis  Just curious, is Grelka visible when she is standing at her market stall in Riften on your current setup? I only ask as I have run into some issues with just her being invisible from some angle and visible from others..... very odd but if rolling back to the BB mods no issues. Might be something else in my load order and I am looking into that now but figured id ask as well just to check my sanity. Thanks again for all the hard work you have put in on this and all your other games, your lists ROCK!

[Aylis]

@darqonus

Check the trees.

 

@Alabaster_Stone

No idea. I don't use those mods.

 

@Ishikudeska

You forgot to install the ressource pack.

[Alabaster_Stone]

Alright, I guess I'll fuck around and find out!

[Ishikudeska]

@Aylis So ,MO2 is spitting this out at me, gotta fix?

I fixed the bottom "Northbound NPCs of Falkreath Hold
But am still missing the top 2

[Ishikudeska]

fixed it

[Ishikudeska]

nvm still haven't fixed it

 

[Aylis]

@Ishikudeska

I strongly recommend to follow the guide first before you start to add additional mods. Secondly read the first page of the mods you install. Especially the requirements as the mods won't work if you don't install those...

 

Its the same issue as last time (and the file appears in the guide)

@Aylis @Alabaster_Stone What was the Violens bug with 2H? Was it literally just killing you? I've never had any trouble with it, though I also never use crossbows but do use 2Hs a lot. I'm thinking it may have a problem with Maximum Carnage, which I also don't use. I'd like to try to recreate the bug on my game.

I obviously have "The Great Cities" mod downloaded and enabled, any tips?
Or should I just ignore this error?

 

The plugin itself might not be activated in the plugin list. It happens to me in MO2 once every other blue moon, where i'll install something, and one of the plugins isn't switched on when added to the list.

Maximum Carnage was my first idea too. There is a comment on the violens modpage about ODefeat draining your health when executing killmoves though.

If you want to recreate I would try that first before going down the maximum carnage rabbit hole.

 

I wanted to take a looksy too but then dynDOLOD decided to be needy again. LODGenx ballooned 10x to almost 30gigs with the march10 files and/or aylis' 0.9.12 changes. I end up with a nice texture fail CTD currently. Maybe a mod that FOMODs the scrapped ice changes I have yet to recall before reinstalling ALL the mods again. ?

[Aylis]

@wollboi

You could see (in the bar) that the health dropped to zero while the killmove was executed. It looked like you would receive a big hit.

 

@alaunus01

I don't remember something else, besides its own patches, touching the ice. So recreating the bashed patch should be enough to resolve possible conflicts.

What am i supposed to choose for Markarth-Outskirts?

The fomod gives these 3 pages

Spoiler

The info you give about choices confuses me on what to choose

Spoiler

 

Also, you mention to install Markarth - No Parallax. This is about 770 MB in size. I would like to install the 4k version which is 1,2 GB. Would there be a problem if i install the 4k option or i 'll be messing the rest of the insatallation guide?

 

Thanks!

@pgrm

The OA changed the FOMOD. 

 

Updated the instructions Done

 

The resolution of textures is up to you. If you think your system can handle them then go for it (see 'Tips and Tricks').

Recipes is working fine. Thanks for the suggestion. ?

Animation Queue Fix could be useful.

Conditional Idles extended (DAR) sounds promising.

soooo I added a few mods and updated a few mods and now I can't load to the main menu (I just get the logo and a never-ending spinning thing in the corner) ? I've been preparing this for weeks and haven't played a minute of the game yet! (since the last time about 7 years ago) AARRGGHH!!!! 

 

As I'm here, @Aylis, I was wondering why we're not using JK's mods for Temple of Dibella, Temple of Talos, Misveil Keep, Dragonsreach, Bannered Mare & Winking Skeever? as I don't see any other mods changing those, so I was considering adding them but wanted to check why they're excluded for your list.

info

[Aylis]

@markvarley

It takes some time to load (especially if the shader cache has to be created). If you added additional mods then those are most likely the cause of your problem. The more mods are installed the more likely a, sometimes hidden, conflict becomes. Just like with 'Violens', i don't know the exact cause of the kill bug (could be several other mods), but it is there and only seems to happen under some specific conditions.

 

Temple of Dibella                               Conflicts with 'Sisterhood of Dibella'. I'm waiting for the announced patch.

Temple of Talos                                  Not tested yet 

Mistveil Keep                                      Want to check Ryn's version first

Dragonsreach                                     It's just too much

Bannered Mare & Winking Skeever   I don't like the new layout

Found an interesting armor: Asura's Guard. You decide how skimpy (or not) it will be.

Thank you @Aylis, I've not looked at Sisterhood of Dibella as I don't use any sex mods (nudity and skimpy armour in all for though). I'll take your judgement on most of the others, though I might test when my playthrough gets to those locations.

 

I'll try leaving my game to load for ten or fifteen minutes to see if there is a shader cache issue (does that seem long enough to rule out that possibility?) then it's a jolly game of deactivate everything recent until it works again (again!).

 

ps. I've noticed some comments from people struggling to understand some of your instructions, while I found most perfectly easy to follow (I'm not new to using mods) the section guiding through DynDOLOD I struggled with initially, would you mind some suggestions to make it clearer for the newbies?

[cloudmc]

FYI - Latest update on Skyland now has furniture

 

Also going though my list (I am still installing) I see Cathedral - 3D Clovers, Dragon Tongue by Mari, Jazbay by Mari, Juniper by Mari, Cathedral - 3D Lavender, Nightshade by Mari, Spiky gras by Mari and Cathedral - 3D Sword Ferns are redundant by Seasonal Landscapes

 

@Aylis  Also the link for xLodgen has changed

Hmm, I'm still using Sexlab so that's probably why I'm not having the problem.

Yes, whenever I did an execution attack it would kill me at the same time. I did work with 2h weapons, I was using a battle axe IIRC and every time I killed someone it killed me at the same time, it made my Nord Beserker build very unfun. Then when I uninstalled VIOlens I guess the meta data was still in there it was still killing me so ?

@Aylis Looks like the FOMOD for seasonal Landscapes has been changed again

Love the armour by the way ?

[kuron13]

after running fnis and nemesis i keep having my female character t-pose, but not the male. i tried disabling any extra animations and reinstalling all the normal ones along with fnis, nemesis, and xpmse, but it still happens. is there anything i should be looking for as the cause?

 

edit: i think i might just be stupid. i kept hitting "skeleton arm fix" out of habit in fnis, and i think that may be the issue

well that wasnt the answer
