*edit* For Atlantean Landscape, which install options do we want?  1. Terrains and Landscape models, or Terrains only, 2. Atlantean Landscape Terrain LOD (Y/N?), 3. Just the Moss Rocks patch?

I think that'd be a nice-to-have for the guide (I'm using a lot of other armours and I go to the mod page to check-out your suggestions, but I think it'd be a nice addition for the guide) ?

 For gameplay screenshots please go to 'A Journey through Skyrim (WIP)'.

That looks good so far ? are you any good at video editing? once you have all your screenshots up you could do a video slideshow (what might work better though is some screen recordings in the different places), if that sounds like too much work I could do a video slideshow of screenshots in an afternoon (my background is photography but I've been dabbling in video for a few years).

For Male Skin RBT Do we want "BnP male skin (SOS full)" or "BnP mail skin RBT"?

I went with BnP male skin RBT, since we are using RBT.

For 3BA - Reinstall Physics Config should that be a merge, overwrite or add the reinstall as a 2nd mod (with a different name)?

As a new mod with a different name. No merge or overwrite. Its so you can change the current physics setup of 3BA without having to reinstall 3BA.

Exactly as the listed name is 'Male Skin RBT'.

 

 

@jak3676

You'll find a comment in the guide if you should merge something.

 

 

@wollboi

Both are not my cup of tea. I don't like the look of the first one and the armor is way too shiny.

Added the missing instructions for 'Whiterun Exteriors Patch Collection'.

Added a few more screenshots.

The 'new' armors for the guards (Sons of Skyrim) look much better than the ones from the removed 'Guard Armor Replacer'.

The landscape for 'The Great Town of Karthwasten' broke again. Patches and changes to the LO didn't help so i'll remove it with the next update. Thankfully it is so well hidden that a rerun of DynDOLOD is not needed. Flagged for removal.

Added the next three armor previews to page #1.

Added screenshots of Lakeview.

Added the first screenshots of Markarth.

Added screenshots of Rorikstead.

It's a good thing that i'm running around making screenshots. As i found a few problems...

 

The mod 'Complementary Grass Fixes' got a conflict with 'Redbag's Falkreath'. Almost didn't see it until i entered the church.

Landscape      > Fixed

 

The patches from 'Whiterun Outskirts' and 'Complementary Grass Fixes' got hidden conflicts with 'Western Watchtower'.

Texture issues > (WO) > Fixed

Landscape      > (CGF) > Fixed

Now i can continue to make more screenshots... 

 

Thankfully we still don't need to rerun DynDOLOD or start a new savegame.

If you used the guide before

As we have to move a few mods and patches around i'll add instructions for that.

Spoiler

1. You have to move the whole group of 'Redbag's Falkreath' into the new position.

2. With 'Lux' and 'Lux Orbis' we have two groups of patches. Move the second group between the 'Natura' patch and 'Falkreath Lanterns' patch (see pic).

Spoiler

Untitled.jpg.60bf210ba1b32231eea40cb2d1c35aa8.jpg

3. Now everything is prepared to rerun 'Lux' and 'Lux Orbis'.

 

Mods to RERUN

Please rerun the following mods to :

Lux               Removes unnecessary patches

Lux Orbis     Removes unnecessary patches

Nemesis       New animations

 

Note

As you can see adding or replacing a mod isn't that easy as everything is so much interwoven and can cause quite a few changes. And often enough the cause for a problem isn't always obvious and requires hours to find and fix.

 

A rerun of DynDOLOD is NOT required. But don't forget to clean your savegame.

@AylisCould you show me your first group of lux patches? I'm not sure if I may have hit a difference between Vortex and MO, I wanted to compare with what I have and where I have it.

*sigh*

 

The first one who asks me why there are mods in there that don't appear in the guide gets a 'Kopfnuss'! ?

loadorder.txt

 

The patches start roughly 50% down the list.

I am a bit confused now. The natura patch esp should go above the lux section and the lantern patch goes below according to the picture. But in the guide the lantern patch is above the natura patch which is the reverse. Now I'm trying to picture how I should sort the rest of the RedBag's Falkreath esps.

LOL I've got a lot not in the list (so many that when I decided to add the Sex category mods recently I ran out of esp slots!) ?

Thanks ?

The pic is correct (and now the guide too). Aka fixed

I'm running this atm:

Btw. sixth week without any cigarettes. The craving still pops up, but thankfully less often than in the beginning. I love my tasty vape (with reduced nicotine).

1624 installed mods, 1802 plug-ins (1544 light, 248 esm/esp)

See my spreadsheet here

 

I only smoke very occasional cigars, but a few of my friends are vaping ex-smokers, best of luck, it's an enormous positive change for your health ?

@markvarley

Had a quick look through the spreadsheet. On many positions we think alike... And a lot of the mods in there are on my list for testing. ?

 

But i'm trying to keep it slow so i have not too many nasty surprises (like the one we just did). Thankfully nobody took a picture when i found out... Prime W.T.F.! moment and then the usual 'Why?', 'Where?' and 'How do i fix this mess?'. 

 

I'll go through the list again when i got most (Solstheim is hard atm) of the screenshots done and will borrow a mod or two. ?

 

Btw. Vilja isn't good? I wanted to look into her.

I had been having terrain issues with The Great Town of Karthwasten (Floating terrain, terrain blocking doors, etc..)

Spoiler

karthwastenbefore2.jpg.3dffc3a70758ea7144f7f7fe5c6e8db8.jpg

I loaded my entire load order in Xedit and found conflicts with Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods and Complementary Grass Fixes.

I made a patch in Xedit that simply forwarded the TGT Karthwasten landscape changes resulting in this...

Spoiler

karthwastenafter1.jpg.492dc4740e4551ab64deb96f249bef59.jpg

It does get rid of Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods changes so you will get unwanted grass in some parts of Karthwasten, but the terrain issues were resolved. Karthwasten - LFfGM Patch.esp

I placed this patch after Complementary Grass Fixes.esp

It's possible that loading TGT Karthwasten after the grass mods might render this patch obsolete.

I would think getting rid of the unwanted grass reintroduced by this patch would require the Creation Kit but that is a bit beyond my skills.

I know you're not into the armoured bikinis etc but there might be some other things of interest ?

Vilja is one of my all-time favourite followers, this time I'm using a Coldsun appearance mod for her (further down the list)

I might drop some suggestions in when I have a few minutes.

TGT Karthwasten was dropped in update 1.0.6, you're probably not alone in having problems ?
