Skyrim Modding Guide

[Sacremas]

 

Uhm. Okay that's kinda odd since I found a lot of them to be a bit low quality, especially the body textures, I made him go for higher quality. And that was when I still had a GTX 580 1.5 GB card.

 

How's your SKSE.ini looking? You running ENB?

 

Also specifically what is it you can't run of it, is it the armor compilation, the body, what? If it's the body you really only need the Meshes folder, then use your own textures.

Well I after 5-10 minutes or so would get black body, plus the face color is lighter than the body color when i could see the body.  The body textures are 40MB, the hands and feet are 8mb each, the ones I run with and have no issue with are 21 ish MB body SG.  And yes I DL'ed the whole thing, MEGA pack, Angelic Temptress Race, Better vampire conversion, Racemenue conversion, UKC companions, Body change UKC, HDT UKC, UNPB TPSB HDT Bella UKC, Race Compatibility and Fixes.  I had not even gotten to the armor yet, this was still in the char creation location fro LAL.  I do not run ENB except for the ENBOOST mem patch portion and a light interior lighting, ELE - Lite v.095b 

 

CRAP!  when I was updating from SKSE 1.7.2 to 1.7.3    I forgot to rebuild the ini........

 

that might be my problem.

 

EDIT: So my SKSE ini went from this---> (NOTHING HERE)  to this --->

[General]

ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

EnableDiagnostics=1

[Display]

iTintTextureResolution=2048

[Memory]

defaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768

scrapHeapSizeMB=384

 

 

Try this instead, this is the texture I use for everyone. I get black bodies after maybe 5-6 hours of playing. This is SG Renewal UNP merged with Better Females.

[Sacremas]

Why aren't you running a ENB with a 650 Ti card? You should be able to run a few ENBs just fine, not the highest spec ones perhaps but most of them.

 

 

 

 

Here's a male skin replacer to keep an eye on, SOS version should come soon; Skysight Skins.

 

Meanwhile someone stole my sweetroll.

[Sacremas]

Just ran the Windhelm Docks fight, 30 imperials, 40 stormcloaks (imperials are killing them too fast due to better gear) and 2 frost dragons, made sure to kill them all in the process manually with good old Prisoners iron axe (with skytweak setting novice difficulty to 0 damage taken and x10 damage given). Attached is the papyrus log. I did actually get a crash when I then coc'ed back to riverwood, but I think that's an acceptable result.

Papyrus.0.log

[MallaVelve]

Well to be honest, I have never tried one.  Just usually run STEP Extended.  Recently I have ditched Wet and cold, and I also dropped DynDOLOD just for more smooth game play.  I am looking into getting rid of Enhanced Blood.  I may have a decent, but not high end, video card, but I am running an i3-duo.  that limits my power quite a bit.  It will be some time before I can rebuild my rig.  I might come up with the money in 6 months or so and Newegg has really good deals usually so I can get the parts I need and build a new one.  Too much script lag with an i3

 

[Sacremas]

Actually the difference in script lag between an i3 and an i7 should be minimal. i3 is really all that Skyrim needs to run it's papyrus, so if script lag is what's holding you back now, it will with an an i7 as well. You need to look through your mods and get rid of scripted mods instead.

 

Also try downloading RealVision and installing the performance version, disable ENBoost for now, see how that works. You may get a small performance gain and a better palette and lighting out of it, and if not RealVision is super-easy to uninstall, unlike virtually all other ENBs.

[Sacremas]

Excellent way to make somehting almost sexy and still stay pefectly lore-friendy.

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful, spooky, kinda sexy. WHISPMOTHER. Also check out the author's other retextures. Like Hagraven, not quite as sexy.

 

 

 

 

And something worthy of Christopher Lee, ready to bring you nightmares once you add some Revenge of the Enemies AI.

 

 

 

And of course his minions, now isn't this a sexy girl? If you're into necrophilia that is.

 

 

 

 

And this goblin should go well with Amorous Adventures in Dawnguard.

 

 

 

And why not meet them with some of these guys on your team?

 

 

[Old Book]

I'd like to try UNO, but am having trouble finding a working link for SG Hair Pack. Can you point me to one?

[Sacremas]

No it's completely gone from everywhere.

 

Except this google drive of course where I got it; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ovhttJqGRWZUZsODlENTk1bGs/edit

 

I think they chased it for same reason KS Hairdos got destroyed. Note you'll need the 400 pack that I posted to use with UNO, not the one uploaded to the Nexus.

Thanks. 

 

I finished another run through, and am getting ready for Ordinator this weekend.

[Sacremas]

Be aware some people get turned off UNO when they start the game and see Ralof with a awesome looking hairdo. I kinda don't like him out of all of it, I would have preferred a more barbaric look for him. I suggest you run around Whiterun instead and check out the NPCs, go look up Arcadia, Olfina, Carlotta, as well as the mens like Ulfbreth, Mikael, Balgruuf and such. You'll note the old people look only "nice" with old lady style haircuts, still Apachii etc but not something "sexy" like you'll see in NPCs of Dibella. One in particular I really like is Saadia, you know she's pursued by he Alik'ir who hunts for redguard women with the scar? She still has the scar but she's given a hairdo that completely covers it up, that's such a logical thing for a woman on the run.

  I looked through your Profile list and was surprised to see XPMES half way up, i had assume that it needs to be near the bottom of the list. Or am i missing something?.

[Old Book]

Does UNO change Perks and Equipment, or just faces and hair?

[I hate creating usernames]

  I looked through your Profile list and was surprised to see XPMES half way up, i had assume that it needs to be near the bottom of the list. Or am i missing something?.

 

It just needs to be under any mods that conflict with it the rest of your mod order is irrelevent.

 

 

Does UNO change Perks and Equipment, or just faces and hair?

 

Just faces and hair.

[Sacremas]

Load order is all LOOT's doing, I've just put in exceptions to make Amorous load at the bottom just before LAL, and load Bijin mods and other NPC overhaulers after UNO and Imperious after both Disparity, Deadly Mutilation and True Death (the TES5Merged.esp patch takes care of joining together records from all mods), otherwise LOOT can take care of it.

Does UNO change Perks and Equipment, or just faces and hair?

 

Faces and hair as said, but I've modified my version to also incorporate all changes from Immersive College of Winterhold, Immersive Weapons (or rather the IW patch for Legacy), Revenge of the Enemies, and other mods I use that would otherwise get overwritten. The merge patch then combines the last of it, but things like an outfit change in Warmonger's Armory on Nazir would get erased if you don't do it manually.

[Sacremas]

Legacy of the Dragonborn v14 Final is out, and I highly recommend anyone following this guide to download it, and to endorse the brilliant author. This is a work of art, and includes so much (8 new dungeons, 2 new worldspaces (including a compete intergration of Moonpath to Elseweyr, you do not need the original mod), hundreds of new artifacts, weapons and armor pieces, new companions, a guild, and so on and so on. It's easier to tell you what this mod DOESN'T include than what it does. This is possibly one of the best mods I have ever come across, and the author is a brilliant fellow always looking to make his mod better, to listen to critique, be grateful when errors are pointed out, and so on. Make sure you endorse the mod once it's downloaded (the requisite period should have passed them, given that only one of the three parts is 2.1 gigabytes), let's try to push this up to the hot list.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52248/?

 

Also to go with my next play, I'm also going to be using Morrowloot Ultimate Edition, here's what it does; glass and better items are almost gone from the game, they won't show up on just about anyone anymore, Daedric are treasured artifacts (in Morrowind Daedric armor could not be crafted and there was a single set in the entire game that wasn't enchanted already), there are encounter zones, potions deliver their effects over 5 seconds instead of instantly and you can't stack them, Fortify Crafting is virtually gone from the game (gone are the 10.000 damage iron dagger), and tempering is rebalanced so that you can really only cap out your armor using those ultra-rare items rather than merely fortify your smithing and make your leather armor invincible. I think this may hopefully be the final nail in my Dovahgod's coffin, and will make magic a lot mroe useful in the process, dragonbone items will be genuinely valuable because even ebony will be hard to get. Additionally this takes the dragon ingredients from Deadly Dragons Armory and rebalances them (they were hugely overpowered, I made a potion that made tempering +800 % better with a dragon tooth and sabre cat tooth) so that they are very valuable and useful while not overpowered. Don't use Deadly Dragons Armory with this!

So will trying out Legacy of the Dragonborn v14 give me a brain freeze?  Because I hate that.   (If you don't understand what I said look to the author)

[Sacremas]

I also did a bad thing that old UKC will not like; I changed over to CBBE for this profile instead of UNPB.  The following mods got added in the process;

 

Bodyslide 2 and Outfit Studio - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49015/?

This is the body I'm using http://www.loverslab.com/topic/27122-working-vagina-hdt-collisions-hair-physics-now-with-belly-support/

OCR - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49286/?

Caliente's Armor Conversions - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12273/?

ChronoTriggger Remodeled Armor - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25259/?

Immersive Armors CBBE Bodyslide - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58708/?

TERA Armors with CBBE and Bodyslide - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29411/?http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59267/?

 

Here's the variance in bodies that can happen, this is with some customization in Bijin folders, both girls are using the same body.

 

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/439450841570375144/272AA36EA415FD8C1AFEF285F7F9C57D996A8961/

[Sacremas]

Serana and Valerica, BVFE style (chose this over Seranaholic because it also includes Valerica and Harkon), Remodeled Armor on Valerica, CBBE-TSPB with HDT vag, light muscles on Serana, same bodies as Uthgerd and Brelyna above.

 

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/439450841570724234/D2F175064E28E57BC73672B73C9D66B8995C783B/

 

Don't like those eyes they got. There's a bad hunger to them. I feel kinda nervous.

[Old Book]

No matter the replacer, your Uthgerd continues to be a shockingly hot MILF.

[Sacremas]

While the original model looks middle-aged at least, I don't think Uthgerd's supposed to be particularily old. I figure she's in the 30s or so, a veteran of a few fights. Adelaisa Venidicci I figure is in her late 40s or so at least.

 

Does anyone know of any body texture or addon that puts scars on a female's body? I'd like to see Uthgerd, Borgark and Delphine (escaping from the Thalmor probably didn't come cheap) with some old scars on their bodies. All of them have minor facial flaws already.

 

Also I put in Improved Closefaced Helmets, even a brief look in game showed it in action and I'm liking it;

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/439450841570804340/BE3F952E5D4D326A6531753EB88335720CD34D04/

 

 

My load order for the Ordinator Profile, with Morrowloot, Improved Closefaced Helmets, Legacy of the Dragonborn and all of their patches.

[Sacremas]

I'm trying out Fair Skin Complexion ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51602/?), here's Irileth;

 

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/439450841571213428/9090CC601898AE60B52A2121C214F17F3EF74D5A/

 

And Carlotta, both using UNO;

 

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/439450841571213721/846CB2E5C186CF6B07CE45AEEC85CCAA87138ADF/

 

Also tried out the Joy of Perspective, but found I didn't like it during combat, so I'll be sticking to Enhanced Camera.

[Skippe]

i have body slide 2 and outfit studio also it come with calientes cbbe body i downloaded for females . and i have  chrono trigger remodeled armor as well htd physical extension and groovtamas skeleton was required so yeah .

 

valerica is hot milf and serana in georgeous my dragonborn feels very nervous around then as well you know i use sexlab mods with sexlife XD so my pc can get seduced, or aproached and just jumped takin him how ever they want XD .

 

dragonborn legacy does indeed look interesting i have to try it sometimes 

[Sacremas]

Right.

 

So I just updated to Windows 10.

 

I log back on, and all my Windows 7 programs are still there, except now I also have Windows 10 things like Cortana, I just opened Mozilla and had it restore my last session (in windows 7) and it opened everything, I fired up Skyrim through Mod Organizer and it's fine, I open my utorrent and it doesn't seem like my porn got even delayed in download.

 

Color me impressed.

 

[MallaVelve]

I have tried several times to get Legacy of the Dragonborn work but keep running into a dialog issue.  

After I enter the Museum I am immediately addressed by Auryen Morellus, he says welcome how was your trip?  (basicly) I have a responce of it was bla bla bla.  He says well, let me give you the 10 septem tour....  

 

After this the only dialog options I have are from SLDialogues20a.  These dialog options are always available no matter whom I talk with.  

 

I do not have a clue where I have a conflict.  

Legacy is very low in the load order, the ones below it are required by step extended patch and Icecreamassassin suggested I place BCS below Legacy.    Even so I don't see where those should be an issue.

 

plugins.txt

 

EDIT: Found it SLDialogs was the offending culprit.  Once removed  he went about giving his tour.  With it in, tabbing out of the convo sent him into sandbox but no tour.

[Sacremas]

That's weird. Better report that to Skyrimll that it causes incompatibilities with other mods. I'm reasonably sure I know why that is.

 

Everything working otherwise? You need to put up a few items that you gather for the quest to proceed much. Don't bother going directly to Moonpath once the quest appears, feel free to delay that as long as you wish, there's an airship that you get there and soem other things, but it's not absolutely necessary.
