chajapa Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Just to try this and see if my computer can handle it, can I make a new directory in my skyrim called.... NO-HDT and copy everything in my data directory to that? The idea being that I can then install stuff into the data directory to try out HDT and if I need to take a break from it or "turn it off" I would then rename the data directory (where I've now copied all the HDT stuff) to HDT-ENABLED and rename that NO-HDT directory back to data and kinda be like nothing ever happened. Would that work? I've got a quad-core i7 with 16GB of memory, but only have HD4000 graphics. It played Skyrim fine albeit at lower graphics settings. But HDT, from what I'm reading, seems more CPU-centric than GPU-centric so I'm thinking maybe this could work. Thoughts?
Goliatron Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 You could just rename the .dll in the data/skse/plugins directory.I don't see how what you're suggesting here would work.
hentaijin Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 You make it sound like you're doing manual installs for your mods. You shouldn't be doing manual install for everything. Use Nexus Mod Manager, or there are alternative mod managers, but I've found NMM to do everything I want it to do. It's extremely easy to install and if you don't want, uninstall a mod with a mod manager. grab the all in one package herehttp://www.loverslab.com/topic/27122-just-another-hdt-xml-file/ and I highly recomend this for bodyslidehttp://www.loverslab.com/files/file/658-hdt-body/ also i7 is generally a very good cpu so that shouldn't be a problem.
dobmc Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 You make it sound like you're doing manual installs for your mods. You shouldn't be doing manual install for everything. What do you have against manual install bra? Manual install all the way.
chajapa Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 OK... I didn't do all that copying. I just went for it. Seems to work fine. I have a couple of issues and/or questions, but I'll start a topic specific to those. Nothing is acting weird. I'm not crashing (knock on wood) and the computer seems to handle it just fine. So...... onward and upward. Thanks, folks
