Immersive Wenches is out with a new version. Some neat looking new features, including an mcm menu and wenches in a bottle. Debating installing it. I'd like the new features, but I finally have a stable install again, and I'd have to rebuild my merged patch, bashed patch, and asis patch. Not sure my saved game will like that.

[Old Book]

The new Immersive Wenches is excellent! MCM Menu that also controls Deadly Wenches and is set for the upcoming Hateful Wenches, great new Wench spells and bottled wenches, a Clear Wench spell, the Bottle Handler Wench as an alternative to the Merchant Wench (she self deletes after trading is over), and the return of summonable Combat Wenches. A great upgrade, worth re-building your Merged Patch for. 

[Sacremas]

Yeah I added it, I'm just sad I had to drop the KS hairdos verison, the hairs ont hat is just so much better.

 

Was in the Soul Cairn, and there's actually several Wench Spirits there as well, constantly finding new things with that.

[Sacremas]

Okay here's some uploads, soon to be added if you test bunnies can work with them;

 

Climates of Tamriel Merged; https://mega.co.nz/#!tUICQZAS!ZrgioPEY2gl5xzBY4dOp6GFGhOk-pFpRltY161y0kkY

 

Enhanced Lights and FX Merged; https://mega.co.nz/#!YEpkUaxA!_VgULs7U3-kX_PvjtNGQlPVXXCKx98uCmzEEQfMeKA0

 

Now these two are in a BAIN format, they contain the full mods and options that merges some alternatives, at the end of this each of these should give you ONE ESP or ESM, not a bunch of them, tag all the options you want for texture addons and such, but only get the merged plugins and hide the rest. It's ages since I installed this so I can't really help you too much with it, it proves too difficult for you guys I won't put it on the first page.

 

Now for something experimental, as in it's something I don't use myself. This is actually quite a lot of mergers at once, first off it merges Ultimate NPC Overhaul (v10, Dawnguard, Dragonborn), and then it merges a whole lot of beauty mods into the included Apachii ESM. This merges KS Hairdos 400, Eyes of Beauty (dawnguard), Runic Eyes, Brows, SG Brows, Beards, SG Hairdos, all Apachii packs, FH Hairs, Ren Hair and Lovely Hairstyles, and probably something more I'm forgetting. If UNO requires it, it's merged into the Apachii ESM. Now for this you do not need the ESMs or ESPs from these mods, but you do need everyhting else, the textures and meshes, so hide the ESPs and ESMs and keep the mods enabled. If you run into issues with blue faces or blue eyebrows or the like, it means you are missing something, almost certainly something in the UNO requirements as NPCs don't get anything else out of it. Now if this works for you let me know, UKC also made a merged Babes NPCs mods (Interesting NPC Babes, INconsequential NPC babes, Falskaar Babes, Wyrmstooth Babes) that removes their requirements of mods like KS Hairdos and points them all towards the merged Apachii ESM, as well as a merged SkyKids version that includes latest Skykids in full, and doesn't need you to have any other ESPs but the Skykids ESM, Oblivion Hair Pack is merged into it entirely and the hairs made unplayable (because it's really low quality and almost entirely covered by Apachii or KS hairs).

Now as I said I don't use the above myself, because i still got dependencies on KS and the like that hasn't been changed and haven't bothered changing them in Wrye Bash, and becuase I don't care about number of plugins as long as I'm below 255.

[Old Book]

Those MegaMergers look excellent. Downloading to try out now.

If Uglykidcid is OK with it, I'd love to see his Babes merger. 

[Sacremas]

I didn't even notice this before, Special Thanks section of Legacy of the Dragonborn;

 

 

UglyKidCid - For spending a day and a half hand merging over 60,000 records to V13 could be all in one plugin again

 

 

 

Legacy and Morrowloot has completely revolutionized my game, I really like the SPERG rebalance in Morrowloot and how it changes the dynamic of the game, I'm having a lot of fun with my character now.

 

Still my paladin is looking more and more like a blackguard instead...

[HeatTheSol]

Yo.  Been a long day out but wanted to follow up.  Thanks for the uploads, I'll probably create a new profile and load em up and see how it does. 

 

Probably looking at opting out of ENB.  I've tried it a few times and even if a pretty good rig It still seems to weigh my FPS down.

[Sacremas]

So, can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?

[Old Book]

You're a Vampire and a Werewolf?

Btw, that's a very good look for Serana.

[Sacremas]

Yep, I had Serana turn me as we entered the Soul Cairn and got Vampire Lord, then I went to Fallion and cured myself after... and kept Vampire Lord, went to Aela and she gave me Werewolf blood back.

 

And yes I'm quite fond of it, I increased her weight to 75 but otherwise it's all this overhaul, I prefer it because it also includes Valerica; http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/39549/?

 

 

 

 

Some fun with mods, we came out of Ysgramor's Tomb at the end of the Companions questline and got jumped by three dragons courtesy of Dragon Combat Overhaul, very hard fight, Farkas joined into it, and at the end we had a nice moment courtesy of Eager NPCs (Duurneviihr in the background);

 

 

How did things go with the big mergers?

Looks excellent!

 

No obvious problems with the big mergers, except that I've had to use WryeBash to change a few dependencies. Still, I kind of prefer Purity over CoT.

 

I understand that there's a new version of the mod merging script (1.9.5) that supposedly exports the face gen files (?) automatically, which reduces the manual work you have to do. If I can find a download link, I hope to use it to merge a few of the older mods in my load order, as well as some companion mods from the Nexus. The companion mods in particular are eye candy I'd like to have in the setting, but don't feel like spending an ESP slot on.

[Sacremas]

Let me or UKC know (on his merger thread) if you get blue or grayfaces with the UNO merger if you're using it.

 

Also followup to what I mentioned before about mods unequipping and reequipping gear, and what happens to your enchantment; turns out that when you get on a horse, your boots are unequipped and the horse now takes the boot slot. Frostfall had an issue with this where it had to reequip the boots in another slot to get the full exposure resistance, but that doesn't help us with enchantment! If you are wearing self-enchanted boots, every time you get off your horse you have to reequip them. Another good point for teleporting and flight instead...

 

Had another weird horse issue, my Frost got unbound from me after the Soulcairn and the whole vampirism+curing issue, when I tried to use Convenient Horses Horse Cal to summon him, it claimed I didn't own a horse. I console placed him next to me, got on, and suddenly his gallop speed is slower than his walk speed used to be. Oh well, I always got Embarr from Daedric Artifacts Improved, he's got no such issues.

[Old Book]

I'm not a really good test case for that. I always get grey faces unless I make a merged patch, and sometimes even then (Irileth is for some reason really hard to get right). That said, nothing so far. 

[Sacremas]

Irileth is hard to get right because Immersive Weapons want to put a Fleur de Lys in her inventory, any SkyProcs you run then chooses the Immersive Weapons records completley and ignores the later beautificaiton mods, because those aren't capable of joining together from several different records. This is why you run a TES5Merged patch at the end, won't ever get grayfaces then, if you do it's a texture issue not a ESP or load order issue.

You look like a small version of the auger.   Oh and you have a ton of control powers for cheating....

[Old Book]

I'm not really enjoying Ordinator. On the plus side, it has a ridiculous number of perks, so many that even with mods that give extra perk points (Elemental Dragons, Deadly Dragons), you'll never get all of them. I can see how someone might have a lot of fun trying different character builds. 

Still, very few of the perks wow me or change the way I play the way that SPERG did. The crafting trees push you to designate one home as your primary residence and upgrade all of the equipment there. That should be awesome. Instead, by the time you get +20% to potions at a particular alchemy table, you don't really need it, and soon you never bother using it again. The top level alchemy perk (That Which Does Not Kill You) was bugged in such a way that every time I loaded a game after taking that perk, my character died. It was probably a problem with my install, but that seems like a big thing. Even if it's working right, it's a perk that basically makes you chug a ridiculous number of healing potions for three minutes, all for a not very impressive single bonus perk point. 

I do like the illusion tree. 

If I can get Grimmy Utilities to correctly refund my perk points, I may pull out Ordinator and switch back to SPERG, then try Ordinator again after it gets some bug fixes.

summon succubus twins mod latest version has spell called succubus initiation which you can buy from succubus merchant i have tested it an female npc at town and after my pc an she had sex she turned an succubus with horns no wings , i have sexlife and eager npc and i think one of them helped my relationship rank raise to 4 with that npc XD . quest related npc:s might have chance to be efected somehow so i try avoid use it to them until i know its safe.

 

i think it is posible to use the spell with bandits, vampires, forsworn and other female npc:s if fight seems hard or just want to slip by using tdect XD havent tested it yet but yeah.

also it seems that you cant unsummon the succubuses away but since they arent overpowered anymore it is fun to have them fight enemies and watch them snu snu them to mulitple times if needed until they are dead XD , trolls regenerate health tought fast enought so it isnt efective against them but slows them down or keep busy until pc finishes them of

 

i think summon succubus twins in fun mod to try i have enjoyed it after givin test run 2-3 houers , i only teached my pc succubus initiation spell so i can make hot female npc enemies have sex with my pc and at least leave some of them alive since its something i want to try he is overlord who likes hot ladies and be nice to them generally and mercilesly anhilate any male one XD hehe .

 

looks sweet malla what mods you use ?

sacremas thanks for tip at stripoptions in sexlab now i can keep my +24 stamina enchant in my boots active

 

[Sacremas]

Yeah I'm playing SPERG now, Ordinator's going through too many changes and iterations to be considered stable as of now, I'm giving it a few more weeks. Plus I really like my character on that profile, I have him up to level 74 even with MorrowLoot's much slower leveling (about half the xp rate) so I would have been 100 or higher if I'd gone normal SPERG. I'm kinda turning into a bit of a DovahGod though, I'm both a super-warrior who can attain 1200+ armor in either heavy or light, my daggers do 2000+ damage, almost all my magic trees are maxed out and I*ve completed one Ritual Quest (Alteration, for teleporting and levitating), I can sneak around characters that are higher level than me while wearing heavy armor, picpocket someone's worn heavy armor, etc. Still, I'm having fun. Starting up the CIvil War properly now.

[HeatTheSol]

Checking in midweek, been kinda busy. 

 

Since sunday I pretty much Fubared my load order after uninstalling enb from my skyrim (I have a 770 GTX and I went all the way down to performance enb, still lagging like hell) so I will build a new profile from scratch and keep things simple by using some of the mergers provided here.

[Sacremas]

Decided to give Sybille the look of Chaconne;

 

 

 

 

Threesome with Sybille and Elisif is very fun with them looking this good.

 

Also I changed bodies again, to SevenBase Bombshell, put that on all the Bijin girls and Serana, and gave them also HDT Vag here from LL, here's the armor replacer I'm using for this, it's very well made, TONS of new items and variant armor, lots of stuff from other mods used for a better look, including LSAR.

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/47477/?

 

There's also a complete conversion of TERA Armors to SevenBase Bombshell HDT;

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49890/?

[Old Book]

I'm using Chacone's looks for Aurlyn, the custom voiced Elf follower. She's a very useful follower with some great, lore friendly dialog, lots of location commentary, some quest commentary, and the ability to act as a merchant. But, in the looks department, she's a vanilla High Elf. One use of NPC Appearance Transfer Tool later, and she's absurdly good looking as well.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/66160/?

[Sacremas]

Oooh, that's a good idea. I might give Sybille a look from RK Followers instead, like Aria;

 

 

 

 

I've been meaning to try out that elf for a while, I'm a fan of lore, like when Interesting NPCs start talking about ancient history, but her looks have turned me off.

[Old Book]

They look great!

NPC appearance transfer tool is amazing. Talk about a way to get new use out of old mods.

[Killing Joke]

Hi, I don't know what Bombshell version you use, but if it's Blabba's version like me, there are several sets of piercings converted for it in case you'd be interested.

Thanks, I might check that out later, for now I'm playing a male character so the girls are mostly just eyecandy. Next character will be a female altmer mage via Ordinator, I'll look into those types of things and mroe clothes rather than just vanilla replacers then.
