do you know what he's currently working on ?

He is revisiting the Skunkway. He is spending a lot of time adding content to the training grounds. Some technical stuff too.

hey is there any way to edit the mod in xedit to remove the timer when entering the bee and barb for the first time that causes the quest to fail if you don't talk to the thief?

I mean, if "in xedit" includes modifying scripts then yes.  Removing the check in dialog - if one exists - would be easy to do in xedit.  The real problem is that refusing to talk to the stranger starts a timer using an OnUpdate event, and when the event fires his record is disabled.  You would need to modify the script associated with the INFO record such that it retains the logic that makes him return to the table and sit down, but it does not start the timer.

I managed to edit the force greet so that he wont talk to me if i don't have 60000 gold but if i leave and wait 2 days he still gets disabled. so there there might be a trigger that happens when you enter the bee and barb that starts the timer, but i don't have the knowledge or skill to check that.

the only thing i can think to do is to uninstall the mod then reinstall it later in the save when i want to play the quest

[saxicola]

First time playing this mod, thoroughly enjoying it but have encountered a couple of problems. Having defeated Zoe the ground shaking effect will not stop, animations are all T-posing previously they worked well { i have run FNIS multiple times and have reloaded the .bsa}, when I get on the cart to go to Solitude the cart, horse and player go flying into the air in pieces! I am playing on an old laptop but everything went well up to this point. Any advice?

If you're comfortable with making edits via xEdit, set his record in the Cell to disabled by default, then use the console to enable him later.

Known issue, no fix.  Only thing you can do is use one of the methods for bypassing the fight entirely.

No idea

Sounds like an issue with the physics.  Make sure that your game is running at 60 FPS or Havok tends to break.

There was a patch someone made and released for a Solitude mod a while back, and many years ago someone else made a patch for Open Cities.  Neither of those are going to be related to the specific mod you're asking about, but if you choose to go through the effort of creating a compatibility patch for some mod you like playing with, we'd all be happy to see that.

Thank you for the quick response, you have identified the cause of the problems I am having. My laptop is obviously too weak to play this mod as 60fps is a pipe dream! It would be nice if the minimum requirements of a pc/laptop could be put in the mod description. A great pity as I thoughjt this was a great mod.

Try playing at a reduced resolution.  On a laptop that should work without any issues so long as you maintain an aspect ratio.

Please help me out. I'm at the part where I have to chase the thief, but when I get there, he doesn't get on the horse—he just stands there and does nothing. I've tried using the disable and enable commands, but it didn't work. I don't have any horse mods installed or anything. I'm completely stuck here

I'm having another problem in Serpent's Maw. The quest node is 120 - Go to jail. I just met Lefty's gang. Suddenly an NPC says I have a weapon, and everyone attacks me, turning the quest into Defeat Lefty's gang. I've reloaded many times and the problem persists. I tried skipping 200 - Defeat Lefty's gang, but nothing happens. How can I skip this part?

What hair mod are you using? it looks excellent

That is the Apprelia hair from Dint999's BDOR pack.

Something is causing interference with the script that should be causing him to activate the horse.  That could be a lot of things.  A corrupt script, a change to a formID, a change to an underlying engine function.  Only way to know is to start changing things about your installation until it works.

It appears that our friend lese8 is no longer maintaining the Chinese translation, but @rico76545 has created a new Mandarin translation that is up-to-date with v1.9.0.3 - thank you for your contribution.

@brewmasterhalIn fact, I have been keeping in touch with Dogma and updating it in Chinese. Every Patreon version sponsor will be able to directly get my localization files from his link at that time. Due to the bankruptcy of 9DM, the largest Skyrim mod website in China, I have indeed become somewhat distant from this classic game. But for the mods made by Dogma, I will continue to support, this Thief and the next one. ：）

Oh cool.  Welcome back, haven't heard from you in a bit.  Have you been in touch with @rico76545?  Perhaps you could collaborate on the translation effort.

No, I have never contacted him at all, I have been working alone all along.

 

On that link you mentioned, he declared that he “stole” someone's translation (I haven't confirmed if it's mine, whatever), and used AI to complete the rest.

 

I don't only think that AI cannot do it perfectly, but Dogma also makes mistakes in words and dialogue, as you know. So I will keep my way.
