skyrim-se-mods

[pine crown]

For any of my stuff I'd advice using the downloads off the combine platform pages that serve both PC and XB1. Once Bethesda fixes things so that it stops breaking stuff my long term plan is to eliminate the duplicate XB1 pages.

[summer brook]

omg the human that made it XD didnt know you was in here

but yeah ill prob keep what i got installed untill something breaks and then ill poke about and see what the fixes are even if that means swapping over to the new versions

[long crow]

So, while I was looking around at Bow mods, I stumbled across a mod that compliments LeanWolf's Better Shaped Weapons. It's called Better Shaped Bows of the Heavens. I'd like to download it but I'm worried it'll conflict with Long N' Short Bows.

[hexed notch]

if they edit the same meshes and textures then yeah they will "conflict" in the sense that you got to decide which one overwrites which

there isnt anything to really worry about though because those kinds of conflicts are completely fine and there are a billion more conflicts in your LO that you dont know about unless you opened it up in xEdit

[craggy turret]

And then the panic sets in.

[eager sluice]

Did they remove the need for the Mod Managers Cap with the update, or nah?

[deep inlet]

no. it still is arguably needed (particularly when browsing your own uploaded content) but it currently doesn't work because the new update either changed or removed the option entirely.

so Ugh. currently does nothing lol. ive seen people claiming it's breaking their Creations Menu, disregard that. the mod just does literally nothing rn but it won't break your game.

[olive kraken]

Anyone got armour recs for cbbe characters nothing exaggerated tho

[small rampart]

Hi, I'm having a problem modding Skyrim and I was hoping maybe someone here would have the knowledge that i dont have.
since i downgraded my game to 1.6.640.0 my mods don't show in the MCM menu, does anyone know how to fix this?

[broken wedge]

Ok, trying to figure out which mod is making Anske in High Gate Ruins a mute dude

[gritty frigate]

Just released one last mod for the year c: May 2024 bring many more ✨
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/107829/

[gilded condor]

That looks real nice, nice work!

[long crow]

@hexed notch The only thing that Long N' Short Bows does is change the weight and damage of the bows in the game and adds Long and Short to bow names. For example, Dwarven Long Bow and Stahlrim Short Bow. It doesn't change anything about the bows model or textures. Unfortunately, it doesn't change any of the Creation Club Bows, just the bows in the base game and the Dragonborn dlc.

[craggy turret]

Open your entire load order in xedit. Expand Skyrim and look at the NPCS, find her. The extreme right hand column will be the conflict winner.

[zinc cradle]

I have gotten the farthest I have ever gotten on legacy of the Dragon born at 493 displays and three of my displays won’t display items now. I am not sure what else to try. what are the displays? That is not working is the curious mold

I tried using all the creation club patches, but it looks like they haven’t been updated yet

I wonder if I should try xedit to looks for conflicts because relaquiy of myth a nd CC patches touch the bow of shadows

[broken wedge]

Yeah, that's not happening on a PS4. But I did find what mod was doing it. Apparently the Better Nordic Ruins mod changes her.

[civic rampart]

anyone know how to fix xp32 fixed to not download xp32 standlone version xbox

[terse shard]

New glitch since the update. Nothing you can do but wait for a fix/ update from BGS.

[main snow]

Anybody knows what this is?

There are like 20 pop-ups like this every time I load a save

They started appearing right after I ran bethINI for the first time

[cursive raft]

it literally tells you exactly what the problem is. you need to update your preset file to adjust the loglevel. I'm sure there's something on the mod page you didn't read with more information

[sonic fern]

Mod tells you detailed information about what's wrong

The end user: ????

[eager sluice]

So does that mean that the game will still only show like 50 mods from your library? Specifically console, dunno how pc works.

[devout valve]

@ ... several people whose names have changed or are no longer here...

I've updated the Ring (and Scrolls) of Quest-Fixing [for XBox and PS4/PS5] to include potential fixes to the quests you reported you had issues with:
"A False Front", "Containment", "Dragon Seekers", "Finn's Lute", "Hired Muscle", "Purity", "The Missing Apprentices", "Touching the Sky", and "Wind and Sand".

Let me know if you're now able to progress your quests, and if so, enjoy!
For others who have requested fixes, those are still in the queue, so sit tight.

[vague cipher]

so um, what comes first in load order?
sse engine fixes or ussep?

[pine crown]

Engine Fixes is a dll plugin, load order doesn't apply to those.

[deep inlet]

yes.

[eager sluice]

Lame lol
I wanna add a bunch of mods, but it's easier to download them all when they're actually there.
I usually add them from the website and then download them one by one based on my LO, since reorganizing on console is a pain.

[deep inlet]

yeah the recent update made reorganisation more tedious, because it can now crash if you scroll too fast 🥲 or hell, sometimes even at a "normal" pace it can still crash.

a "jump to bottom of LO" button would be very useful, if they don't find a way to stop the overloading in the LO screen.

[vague cipher]

oh, alr thx

[gilded condor]

simple helmet/cuirass edit. should tweak the glowy bit colors more.

[hexed notch]

anything with a .dll plugin is loadorder agnostic as it does stuff natively in code and doesnt go the plugin and load order route

or i guess to be more precise: anything that is a .dll plugin etc. etc.

[vague cipher]

ooooo, got it

[cold cipher]

Okay so I'm on Xbox, and does anyone happen to know off-hand what mod this sword is from? If nobody knows then it's really not that big of a deal, I was just curious as I stumbled upon it jammed into the side of a barrel (looked like it was on purpose).

Checked the Goblin CC page, nothing. Can't find it anywhere else in any of the docs for mods I use that add or change weapons. Used search engines and search flags to try to narrow it down, and there's no mention of it anywhere. The location I found it at, named Caravan Down, is southeast of Markarth and was populated by goblins, and of course, no mention of this location anywhere either.

Unless a mod I have adds weapons but doesn't say anything at all about it in the description, I use all AE content, Reforging - To The Masses, and OWL.

[pulsar wing]

It might be this one: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/29227/Missile_s_CC_Goblins_Addon The PC version on Nexus came up in a google search for "Samuel's Revenge" in its changelog stating "Increased damage for "Samuel's Revenge" to 12 up from 9". I don't know if that means the weapon is necessarily from that mod, but it seems possible.

[cold cipher]

Interesting! I'm wondering if a mod I have has that bundled in and I just completely skipped over it when reading.

You're a legend, thanks, and well done! 👏🏻

[pulsar wing]

That is entirely possible.

[cold cipher]

Found it! It was in Reconciliation AE. And yeah, seems like I just completely missed it when reading the included doc.

[pulsar wing]

Ah, I see. gj

[deep inlet]

bro dropped the hardest cape video of all time and focused on the armor edits?? hello????

cool helmet tho, i just got distracted by the cool cape

cape? cloak? idk the difference

[summer lichen]

🤔

[eager sluice]

Ugh
Was planning on attempting to make a new LO, but I might just wait until they update the creation menu and make it better.

(10 years later)

[echo pivot]

Can anyone help me with my LO? Says DLC04 is broken and idk how to fix it 😅

[summer lichen]

I should make like a hunting mod

[terse shard]

Hunting is fun.

[civic rampart]

more wildlife hunting mod will be nice

[abstract gorge]

Just released a mod for the end of the year I hope to do many more this coming new year 🙂 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/108039/

[summer lichen]

Indie game progress update: Loot mechanics!

[crude helm]

For anyone interested, both of iimlenny bundles have been updated with new mods and some updated versions.

I hope you all had / having a great Christmas / Holidays and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

[summer lichen]

I'll do an announcement for my indie at the beginning of next year 🙂

[small rampart]

does anyone know how to fix this?

[dusty slate]

didja try what it tells you to do?

[small rampart]

i did

[broken wedge]

Depending on thr firewall, some are still "active" when you turn them off. Had that problem with the military grade firewall my uncle gave me back when I had a cpu.

[still galleon]

THANKS!! I've finally ended "Seasons Unending" while staying completely neutral! Now I can progress in Skyrim just as I intended from the start... I am very grateful for your work! 👍👍

[sick wave]

anyone having problems with sse engine fixes? after i do part 2 it doesnt load my skyui

[vague cipher]

well, on my case it crashes when i start a game, do yall have an answer for this?

[sick wave]

It wasn't crashing before engine fixes?

[vague cipher]

nope, not at all, it was only after ive installed sse engine fixes

[sick wave]

You installed both parts as intended?

[vague cipher]

yup, followed everything, i made sure everything was updated

[sick wave]

Try to do the .toml fixes, if this does not make it work idk what will do

[vague cipher]

.toml fixes? alr, but idk what things should modify there

[sick wave]

I'm on mobile now so I don't have the link but I'm sure someone here knows the stuff you need to set to false

[eager sluice]

Ugh
Finally decided to make a LO
Well, I was following one off of reddit, and it's reached the point to where the creation menu just crashes now and I cant even reorganize the load order because once I ge to a certain point in it, poof

[vague cipher]

oh, guess imma wait then

[sick wave]

If using Engine Fixes, EngineFixes.toml settings must be updated to work around the exclusion of Steam integration by Bethesda with its update. Set to false:
EnableAchievementsWithMods
SaveAddedSoundCategories
SaveScreenshots

[vague cipher]

alr, lemme try them and see what happens

[eager sluice]

Literally what's happening to me right now. I can't even get to the bottom of the load order 😦

[vague cipher]

wait, it worked! tysm T.T

[sick wave]

Ur welcome pal

[solar bloom]

I know it's pretty much a rule to not use more than one leveled loot list mod at a time. But if two were used, would the one farthest down simply overwrite the upper one? The reason I ask is that I'm on PS4, and I really want to have higher prices for everything in shops. The mod "Kevlar's Gambit" does this very well, but it also effects loot lists. So I was wondering if I put a mod like "Simply More Variety" below it, would I get just the higher prices of the one, and just the leveled loot of the other?

[pine crown]

Item value is not set on the leveled list record so as long as the variety mod isn't affecting base item records, it should play just fine with the other one.

[solar bloom]

Thanks for the reply! I think I'll go give it a shot then.

[devout valve]

@ ... several people whose names have changed or are no longer here...

I've updated the Ring (and Scrolls) of Quest-Fixing [for XBox and PS4/PS5] to include potential fixes to the quests you reported you had issues with:
"Blood's Honor", "Dragonborn", "Dungeon Delving (Bandits)", "Dungeon Delving (Jarl - Hagravens)", "Elder Knowledge", "Rescue from Fort [X]", and "The Final Descent".

Let me know if you're now able to progress your quests, and if so, enjoy!
For others who have requested fixes, those are still in the queue, so sit tight.

[eager sluice]

Question:
I don't know if it will be answered in time.
I noticed that either Nordic UI or I Like Food is messing with Food values for hunger replenishment.
Only reason I include Nordic Ui (updated) is because I noticed the health, magicka, and stamina bars seem to be a little outta wack. But, that could just be due to survival (I know there used to be a patch). Just curious which one you guys would think it might be?

I would just disable or delete one of them and check, but because of the stupid update, my LO crashes the game any time I go near it (although I could probably get to one of the two mods without it crashing, but that's it.)
I've been using this LO, so I dunno if there would be conflicts here

https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimModsXbox/comments/18szgvt/my_load_order_210_mods_plus_creation_club/

I would just not use survival
But I wanna torture myself by doing a completionist playthrough with LOTD on survival

Well
Nevermind
I figured out the food problem, but is Nordic UI supposed to look like this?

It bothers me so much lol

[main snow]

Thing's still an issue, if anybody knows what causes this and/or how to solve it DM me

[sick wave]

it isnt lol, are u using any skyhud preset?

[shy belfry]

So, on xbox... I just managed to go over the 5gb limitation by pulling some mods from a save, filling the space, then when mentions dependencies, and asking to download, saying yes.

This needs more testing but I have 6gb of mods currently even though it says 4.99 used

[zinc cradle]

Hmm do you have ghost space I remember this was a problem when I used to play on Xbox I have not played on Xbox number of years.

[zinc cradle]

From what I remember when I used it no try reinstalling it's dependencies? Otherwise not sure maybe it doesn't work with the latest SKSE and sky Ui did you do the fix for Sky Ui it should be in the comments of that mod.

[eager sluice]

Apologies
I'm on console, so I can't use SkyUi

[eager sluice]

I don't think so lmao
I csnt check my load order, but I'll check the link I sent real quick.

[eager sluice]

So looking at it
The only mod that I can see it maybe conflicting with is the unlimited sprinting one.
Which, if that's the case, kinda sucks :/
Because normally I don't like mods like that, but because I'm doing Survival and lotd, I actually kinda like it.

[deep inlet]

...what? what they're saying is literally the opposite of ghost space

[eager sluice]

Although I did end up having another issue with npcs last night.
Didn't start until I went to do the companions questline.
First was the fight with Vilkas.
Which, is fine, that sometimes glitches out. Not the first time it's happened.
Then immediately afterwards a courier showed up and was just like "I have something to deliver".
Didn't deliver anything and just sat there repeating himself.
Then I went to Auryen at the museum in solitude.
He tries talking to me but then it just exits out of the dialogue menu.
Was able to somewhat fix it by saving, shooting him, then reloading.
Then it got through a few more lines of dialogue and then just closed again.
Had to redo it and he finally gave me the quest to go get artifacts, but I'm really hoping it doesn't cause problems with other npcs in the future.

[eager sluice]

Wasn't unlimited sprinting.
So imma just have to deal with it
But now I have the stupid bug or whatever that makes my one handed attacks extremely fast and nothing fixes it.
Was thinking it was Vokrii, but I have the patch for it.

[sick wave]

are u using vokriinator?

[eager sluice]

Vokrii?
Ye
But like I said, there's a patch for it, that scales the one handed attack speed.
But it's supposed to give me only 5% attack speed for every 20 levels of one handed, not make me sonic with it. 😦
It's just too op lol

[sick wave]

vokrii and vokriinator are diff, if u using vokriinator there is a weaponspeedmultfix for it on nexus i guess

[eager sluice]

And last night before I got off, it was fixed and now it's doing it again
And one sec

[eager sluice]

Nah
Just looked
I'm just using Vokrii
So I dunno :/

[sick wave]

Damn idk what to do too then, best decision is to look/ask on you platform reddit

[sonic fern]

Ugh why was Vitrium removed from my fave gdb animation bundle. Now i can't update it

[zinc cradle]

Hmm try to reinstall

[eager sluice]

I mentioned a few things to the guy who posted his LO that I followed, hopefully he replies.

[sonic fern]

Oh seems like the updated nordic hud isnt playing nice with your other ui mpd

[zinc cradle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimModsXbox/comments/j3elnj/ghost_space_what_is_it_how_to_remove_it/

[sonic fern]

Ive accidentally gone over the limit too but i had a bundle that had the same mod i also installed and some how they combined and allowed it

[zinc cradle]

Oh I didn't think of conflicts I guess these are harder to find in Xbox?

[sick wave]

honestly they should just let the players rise the gb limit because in 2023 5 gb of mods is nothing tbh

[sonic fern]

5gb wasnt nothing when mods released

[deep inlet]

you didn't read what the person, nor i, said. what they are experiencing is the opposite of ghost space.

[zinc cradle]

Oh my bad

[thick fulcrum]

If this works and doesn't break anything, that means the xbox modspace is a huge mess.

I would have expected them to set up a 5gb partition. And you can not go over that amount of data. You'd be overwriting data at best.

But if this works, that means they are not using an extra partition, which means their whole "we can't expand the space", is probably a bunch of bollocks
Though even with partitions, you could expand them. Just not reduce the size.

[silent copper]

hiii guys, sorry for jumping in but im having a terrible time modding my game since the update and I would really appreciate some help. I have tried downgrading but I cant get that to work either. Basically, I had a stable modlist with parallax, enb, shaders, lods etc but now im too stupid to get it to work again. Do u guys know a stable collection or modlist or something that works that i can use as a base?

Also, if this is the wrong forum to ask, im sorry, I just cant think of a better place to ask rn

[zinc cradle]

And purge and uninstall everything if you need too

You may want to start with a clean instance in your mod organizer I had to do this that helped

[zinc cradle]

You may want to start with a clean instance in your mod organizer I had to do this that helped

I deleted my message because I forgot to reply

[sick wave]

NOLVUS is the recent to-go modlist if u have a strong machine

[deep inlet]

well there is a visible 5GB reserved space that Skyrim uses on Xbox for mod storage, but if one is over that limit then where tf is the rest stored

[terse shard]

ESLs don’t ignore space requirements do they? Just mod count right?

[sonic fern]

Esl only ignores the esm/esp counter that has a hard limit of 254 or something and is more like 244 with the base game and its dlcs and other stuff.

Esl has a much higher cap in like 4k or somthing

Use the mod just counting by tommas to see how many esp files you got. Make sure its at the very very bottom of your lo and if you got a stupidly bug number of mods and only like idk 10 or 50 are counted then you may have gone over the esp limit by 50 as it is made to overflow after capping out. The mod. The limit is still the same no matter what and having more then the limit will cause issues

[terse shard]

Thanks for confirming. I’m not going to touch Skyrim with a 10 foot pole anyways until all this gets sorted out. But it will be interesting to see what kind of load orders I can build with the new limits.

[sonic fern]

Pretty sorted out right now. Everyone has figured out most of the problems and workarounds.

Large load orders only adjust them offline or download them in order

Use the list of ui mods i posted here #1184505392223490149 if you wanna have a safe to use ui mod that wont break anything. The rest is up to mod authors to fix there own mods with the new system and figure out the bugs but ussep been patched a few times since the update so unless he is working on somthing big that should be all you need right now anyway

The ui and offline thing are for console, specifically xbox users. Pc UIs ive not heard about and they can use a mod organizer to adjust there load orders out of the game anyway

[terse shard]

Yea I’m not going to do any of those workarounds. Glad it hasn’t completely stopped modding but that’s just too much for me. And I’m much happier playing BG3 anyways.

[fallen plank]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-this-this-reaction-reaction-gif-this-gif-gif-14484082

[vague cipher]

btw, is skyUI safe to use now?

[pine crown]

Define safe

[vague cipher]

well, is skyUI updated now, does it support the latest version of skyrim or do i still need to downgrade it?

[eager sluice]

I still want it :/

[zinc cradle]

I am unsure if it has been updated I haven’t checked recently however, there is a fix in the comments that works

[pine crown]

No, it has not been updated.
No, you don't need to downgrade anything.
Install this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/106418

ooooh, oh well, thx (also happy new year)

[icy mauve]

Guys so I got Skyrim for the first time a couple days ago and I really like it but is there a good graphics mod I can get for Xbox?

[terse shard]

Skyland AIO

And also get a good weather mod like Supreme Obsidian and an interior lighting mod like ELFX Shadows.

[deep inlet]

[summer lichen]

I made it a day, had to do some work on my indie while I still have days off

[thin girder]

Anyone have a good immersive xbox mod list they'd recommend?

[summer lichen]

Mod release wll be in 24 hours 🤔

[elfin island]

Is there a mod that completely removes snow? Snow really ruins my fps on Xbox one

[terse shard]

Ha. No snow in Skyrim. That’s a new one. But if you use a mod like Skyland AIO the texture resolution is optimized for Xbox and looks better than vanilla.

And removing snow would just replace it with a different texture. That could have the same problems as you are already experiencing. Snow, grass, dirt? Whatever. It just needs to be optimized.

[hexed notch]

you talkint about snowy weather? or what tanis is saying. Either way the solution isnt to remove snow from the game lmao

[terse shard]

Ah. Yea. Maybe they meant the falling snow? Falling rain has the same effect. And yea both can affect performance. Might be a mod that makes it always sunny I guess.

[thick fulcrum]

Is tropical skyrim on the bethesda mod place?
That would remove all the snow at least

[hexed notch]

i mean snowy areas usually are the ones that have the least demands on your system right? unless we mean that odd snowfall every now and then in the other regions. If its indeed snowfall in snowy regions then thats still fishy

[midnight gate]

No mods are being made anymore for Xbox users exept patches to fix old ones I’m so done

[summer lichen]

The new mod/creation menu is a bit unclear so I think you're just missing them

[echo pivot]

Yo for wyrmstooth, wheres the runed lexicon in krakevisa?

[tardy nova]

I know people usually download mods from Nexus and use mod managers to install them. I want to use the in-game menu.

Since the last update every time I try downloading a Creation (aka mod) from the in-game Creations menu I have a really hard time. Downloads keep failing due to connection issues (my connection is completely fine, no issue with other apps), I can keep on trying and that works with small Creations (<5MB), but with stuff like USSEP it's downright impossible.

Are the Bethesda servers complete garbage? Or is it some issue I'm the only one facing? Is there any workaround for this problem (like downloading the Creation elsewhere, put it in some kind of download directory, and let the game recognize it as if I'd downloaded it in-game)?

Thank you in advance for your help and time.

[terse shard]

The update borked things big time. Update coming

[tardy nova]

Dow we have an ETA yet?

[terse shard]

No

[tardy nova]

🤔 Makes mod

[hasty geyser]

Hey Enai, I hope things are going well. Have you gotten verified? I remember you trying to get into the Creation Club. What are your thoughts on the new verification program?

[keen fog]

Another never-before-seen behavior: skyrim crashes after bethesda logo after installing some mods (nothing unusual to my LOs). Now i have to clear the mod space once again.

[tight hull]

you can try summertime but it seems like a mod is causing a issue maybe try a mod with snow textures

[tight hull]

when you get the game working again you should play offline

[keen fog]

No skyrim for me without mods. I already have it working.

[tight hull]

when the mods you want are downloaded then play offline

[keen fog]

That was some particular mod incompatibility. I got it working, thanks anyway.

[austere sundial]

now that the holidays are over, what’s the weather forecast on any updates from bethesda?

[kind falcon]

#modding-news

[terse shard]

I’d call that specific forecast foggy.

[raw bluff]

Regular employees have been back in the office one day. What do you expect them to have accomplished in that amount of time?

[thick fulcrum]

Skim through the 12 pages of emails detailing what management expects them to do, which will all be ignored as they drink some coffee and have a nice relaxing chat with their coworkers, after which they get back to their PC to actually read some of the E-Mails and accept the 30 new in office teams meetings for the rest of the year that are supposed to strengthen teamwork.

[terse shard]

Agreed Nothing can be expected yet. But there is no way to know when an update will come. A day a month. No one knows yet. So “foggy” seems appropriate. Fog may clear at any time. We shall see.

[pine crown]

That sounds about right to me 😛

[raw bluff]

My god, my office had in office teams meetings. One of the managers wouldn't let you use a background either so they could see if you were at your desk. Meanwhile the conference room has become a place for random storage.

[thick fulcrum]

Almost every IT company is the same in that regard, lol

[summer lichen]

If I compact a mod as ESL, what will that mean in terms of later updates?

[pine crown]

At minimum, that you'd need to compact it again after the update and there's no guarantee the end result would still work in your save.

[summer lichen]

😦

So I should not make a mod ESL until it's confirmed final? @pine crown

[deep inlet]

or make the ESL version a separate download, and just warn people it could break if updating

[summer lichen]

I want to do what Bethesda would do 🤔

[thick fulcrum]

Release a mod with a lot of Itm?

[summer lichen]

I'm so glad my employer doesn't do this garbage. You do have to have your camera on for the social aspects (some people came and left during covid and we never even knew what they looked like) but you can have the background you want and generally dress however you want. (My teams picture at work is a photo I took at a metal concert.)

[summer lichen]

Bethesda adheres to the idea that you can train an artist to be a programmer but you can't train a programmer to be an artist. I disagreed heavily when I started work on my indie game but found out they have a point 😅

[austere sundial]

that what sucks the most as a programmer is not being an artist? and that it’s easier for artists to become programmers and not vice-versa?

[summer lichen]

No, that being good at game systems design doesn't relieve you of the need to make the game look like something, and the worse you are at asset creation, the more your designs get restricted

I'm putting some time into level design in an attempt to get a showcase out soon, and I keep running into limitations like "there are no megascan cliffs of the size I need and I have no idea how to make them myself" or "I need this specific kind of building... looks at asset marketplace ok, I guess I won't do that then"

[thick fulcrum]

It's easier to learn basic enough code to do to something in an existing engine or to watch a tutorial on it, than it is to learn 3d modeling.

Almost Anyone can watch a 2 hour step by step tutorial for procedural generation and have a working system.

But learning how to create a 3d model takes a lot more work imo.

[raw bluff]

Way back in the olden days of modding the original Doom and Duke Nukem 3D almost all of my work was on the programming side. Any textures or mesh work I did was taking something an actual artist made and adding the technobable needed to make it do the thing I wanted in game. I could make a Doom door open any way I wanted, but I sure as heck couldn't make it look the way I wanted.

[austere sundial]

so, basically, the most frustrating thing about technical game ‘worldspace’ design, including by way of level design process, is… not being an artist? in that assets, both visually cosmetic and physically tangible, found externally are not specifically designed/curated for the scenario at hand?

[austere sundial]

art is a pretty broad term. i know more than a thing or two about illustration (it’s what i do) and general art philosophy/principles, but i wouldn’t know much about 3d work in relation to game development

[digital river]

do the UI mods still break the game?

[austere sundial]

isn’t that what the og doom developers did? i know that more than a few textures were ripped from outside sources. i also find it neat that the actor sprites themselves were created from actual irl 3d models

[terse shard]

Depends on if they have been updated or not. Some have been. But probably not all.

[pine crown]

The decision to compact needs to be made before you release it. Cause if you're going to update it down then line recompacting things with the introduction of more new forms won't be good for anyone's save.

[pulsar wing]

Hmm, wouldn't it be fine so long as the new forms are within the 4096 form limit, though? Further ESL mods in the order after it aren't able to encroach upon the unused form space, I would assume?

[pine crown]

Assuming you remain on 1130, yes, but the CK isn't guaranteed to generate a new form ID within that range.

[pulsar wing]

Initially, no, but compacting it again would put the new forms into the correct range, yeah?

Also it feels weird to me that the new forms for an ESL don't get put into the correct range by default. Hopefully they'll fix that...

[long crow]

Is there a mod that disables dragons spawning inside cities?

[pale current]

After the new update I had to clear my reserve space because I had a UI mod that broke the creations menu. Now I can't re-download all the mods I previously had. Was the space available for mods shortened in this update? I deleted some mods to give myself enough space but it continues saying I don't have enough space to download. Any way to fix that (besides clearing the reserve space, I had to do that a couple times after accidentally reinstalling the same UI mod that broke the menu without thinking)

The mod I'm trying to add is 811.95 MB and I have 1.21 GB free space

[tawdry yacht]

Is anyone aware of a mod like "Run for your lives" that doesn't require USSEP?

[deep inlet]

Ai Overhaul 1.8.whatever apparently does the same thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

[deep inlet]

nice!! are you doing an official Xbox upload of it? if not i can probably have it up tonight

[vague cipher]

oh neat, now i can flex my bear to nazeem :D

[summer lichen]

I'm not sure (I can do it but beth.net was pretty janky last time I tried), but there is a decent chance I'll have to do more updates in any case, so let's wait until the weekend. 🙂

[deep inlet]

no problem

[pine crown]

Depending on how long it's been since you last did an upload to bethnet, you may be pleasantly surprised at the improvements made to the website with the December 5th update.

[summer lichen]

Why are you sad? 😦

[deep inlet]

not sad! i use it as like a "understood" thing lol. maybe that's just me being strange tho

[summer lichen]

Good, because I was hesitant to update mods because of the way Beth.net would sometimes not mirror the download and then anyone hitting update would get an error and end up with no mod and a ruined load order.

[pine crown]

How do you mean not mirror the download?

[summer lichen]

And with no more comments, I could innocently update Ordinator and it could break for console users and I would be none the wiser while a million players have their load order ruined. 😦

I had to ask Cartogriffi a few times to kick the hamster back to life because I'd upload an update and people would see the notification in their client and hit download and it would delete the old version and then fail to download the new version

This was a mild annoyance back in the day, but now without a way to get feedback from console users, I have no way of knowing whether the update went through properly on consoles and breaking load orders is a risk I don't want to take.

[pine crown]

Ah. I never ran into that with my own updates, but I think the new site is much more clear that your updates have been received properly.

[summer lichen]

There will be further mods that tie into these systems, such as the upcoming hunting and exploration mods.

Generally I'm going to move away from Enairim type overhauls and towards content creations. 🙂

[grand crag]

I have an issue with one mod that maybe someone can help me with on console.

I've downloaded all to what I believe is the appropriate mods for lux, yet it will not enable?
I've downloaded all the patches and such for Jk's skyrim and interiors but it will not enable?

[grand crag]

Ordinator as of today still works fine with my +50 mods on console.

[coral zenith]

I just need to vent. I was playing Skyrim and all was well. Then, I decided I didn’t like some of the mods in my load order anymore. I deleted the mods I no longer wanted, deleted all save data and went to start a new game. Skyrim began crashing. Now it’s so bad I can’t get past the Bethesda logo. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it but can’t. I’m so close to tears right now.

Btw, I’m on PC

[summer lichen]

Because I didn't actually update it because I wanted to avoid the problems.

[echo pivot]

no

Bethesda hasn't made announcement yet on when the new update is coming

[eternal lark]

I've been trying to fix/update and add new mods for the last 2 days, and it keeps moving the mods around in load order even knowing I've manually moved them multiple times, and or keeps saying (don't have required mods) when we do, it's also constantly crashing (ctd) while trying to fix load order... I really hope they fix this coz it's starting to really annoy me.
Xbox series X btw.

[stoic portal]

I’m on PS4 and I can’t update mods…

[eternal lark]

Seems like it's a Bethesda issue then, I thought may have been servers or something with the Xbox I've even restarted several times lol... Guess I'll try to create new game and see if it reorders stuff it did that the other night which I thought was weird tried to load an old save order and I was like whaa

[amber furnace]

Download all the mods you need. Exit Skyrim (quit). Go offline. Start Skyrim, select Creations, click yes on the message box. You will be able to re-order your mods. Be careful, deleting any mod will cancel all you changes. Once done, exit the game fullly, relaunch it and either start anew game or load a save. When prompted, select "Actual" load order. Save as soon as possible if you're satisfied with your mods, reload the save,you should not have any message box pop up. From there, you can restore your online connction or play offline.

Didn't think you could go into creations without internet? How do U go offline mode? I'm assuming just turn off wireless in Xbox settings

[raw bluff]

In the Xbox's Network settings is a "Go Offline" button. That will take you offline.

New to modding. Why does sse engines part 2 crash my game when I open journal, but journal works just fine when I don’t have part 2 installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I made sure to download part 2 and then unzip it right into the Skyrim folder as well.

[limpid quartz]

ok guys now I don't have the problems you have all I want is that I want to delete one of my mods but no matter what I do it doesn't delete so I am using xbox I go to creations then I can only see two boxes each saying update available but there is no picture no info everything is grey but that is ok for me cuz I don't want to install new mods I just want to delete on of my ones so I go to load order then I see the mod that I want to delete I press delete and it asks if I'm sure I click yes then the box closes and nothing happens so could anyone please help me?

[echo pivot]

bro might as well wait for the next update

ive seen ppl having that issue but im not sure if there's a workaround other than clearing reserved space 💀

[limpid quartz]

no it's not like that I cannot do anything in creations all I can do is just entering it that's it

it doesn't show anything I have no control of it all that I can see in creations is my load order I can't delete I can't disable I can't move and I keep hearing you guys having other problems but you guys seem to be able to delete or disable your already installed mods and that is my problem I can't do that

[amber furnace]

Are you using an old UI mod ? Do you get your LO displayed like before the update ? I have had the same problem and I just had to delete my reserved space. Maybe someone found another way to fix this ? Maybe you can try disconnecting from internnet and see if you can modify your LO offline.

[limpid quartz]

no everything was ok till like a week ago I heard people were unsatisfied with the new update but I had no problem whatsoever, and how could I even enter creations without internet shouldn't I be logged into my Bethesda account

[amber furnace]

Because everybody does it ? Being offline will allow you to access your reserved space content without getting data from the creations servers. So no thumbnails, no description, no mod deactivation ...

[limpid quartz]

so could you please give me a small tutorial on how to do it cuz the mod that I want to disable or delete is ruining my game, the mod is unlimited smithing which is simply lets me forge everything without any requirement so I guess you can see how this ruining my gameplay

so, will clearing my reserved space delete all of my mods?

[amber furnace]

See here above 24 hours ago. Go offline by disconnecting in parameters/network. And Yes, deleting your reserved space will also clear you mods.

[limpid quartz]

but then I will not be able to access them again and not just that I don't even know if Bethesda is going to fix skyrim

[amber furnace]

Deleting your reserved space should be the last thing to do. Just try going offline and see if you can make changes to your mods.

[terse shard]

Why would you not be able to access them again? Are they deleted from Bnet for some reason?

[limpid quartz]

Bnet is not even loading

[terse shard]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/featured

[limpid quartz]

when I enter the game all I can access is load order and there all I can do is just watch nothing else I am not mad about creations basically inaccessible I am mad about not being able to simply delete or disable mods

[terse shard]

Oh I see. There are lots of bugs with the new UI. Not sure I have heard about that one though.

Really just best to wait until they push out a fix.

[limpid quartz]

yes this is exactly how creation looked like couple of days ago and now when I enter it doesn't show anything it's just grey background with two loading icons saying update available and that's it but only from there I can access my load order and I don't know how I could do that offline

[terse shard]

Yea if you can’t access it online offline sounds like a no go.

[amber furnace]

Try it. If you can't access your LO, or can't do any change, wether you live with it as you are able to play, or you delete your reserved space and rebuild your LO from scratch. You can also play offline by the way. It looks like a UI issue, some also reported issues with Kontrol. Main menu cnhange mods can also create problems.

[restive pine]

Can anyone help me with Creation Club menu option being greyed out and not letting me connect to bethesda servers, my account is linked, and its a fresh install of skyrim, and ive done everything to get creation club to work.

[limpid quartz]

well just as I thought I can't be logged into Bnet if I'm offline. but I have another question if I clear my reserved space how much of a chance i have that the creations will work again and I can install mods again

[brisk badge]

any eta on the next skyrim update?

[amber furnace]

Do you have an external drive ? If so, you could make a backup of your reserved space (kind of). Although you seem to have a mod in your LO that conflicts with the latest main menu. Any way to share your LO ?

[hexed notch]

no. Any updates you will see in moddijng news

[limpid quartz]

well I have two mods that modifies the main menu one of them is oblivion fonts second one is a backgrownd changer including the music but coming to thinking about it now I think the oblivion fonts mod is the problem since as you said it battles with the new creation UI

[amber furnace]

So I don't have any other solution but delete the reserved space. Maybe someon else can help. Be carefull not to delete your saves .

[limpid quartz]

ok man thank you a lot I appreciate your corporation soooo much

[summer lichen]

Indie game status update: Studying open world level design. 🙂

I'm in luck in that the flow (roughly Choo Choo Charlie x Vampire Survivors) doesn't involve a linear quest along landmarks and finding locations is part of the challenge (survival), so I don't need to do the Skyrim thing of using scenery to railroad people to theme park attractions. However, with no guidance, it is too easy to walk between all the landmarks, and putting down any sort of road means people will drop everything and follow it and just spend the rest of their playthrough glued to the roads (which also means you can't have a "ring road" that doesn't itself go anywhere). I think instead of Skyrim, the example to follow would be Minecraft. 🤔

[safe vault]

Someone experienced with crash logs?

[rocky saffron]

Anyone know mods for the camera and field of view and changing the height and alignment …

[eternal lark]

when we disable they disapear and reapear on top of load order plus mods randomly moving around or disapearing (saying dont have requirements when we do) we had to download everything we wanted then go offline to reorder to be able to play

[broken crystal]

I started playing on PS4 the few days before the mega modding creations overhaul. Since then I have never been able to use mods.

In the best of times I can open the creations menu for a few moments before it kicks me out and says it can't connect to the servers.

Are the servers really that buggy, or do I need to do something to circumvent the problem?

[sudden fog]

I just read about the loot spillage mod and I kinda want that on xbox rn lol

[limpid quartz]

yeah but how could you guys access your load order if you're offline. cuz I tried that I can't even get into creations in the main menu if I'm offline

[eternal lark]

When U click onto creations off line it will come up with "can't access online creations do you want to manage loaf order" or something similar you click "yes" and it should take you to you LO then you'll be able to move mods etc. You can't access the other stuff obviously.

[limpid quartz]

well it's not like for me when I click on creations offline after 2 to 3 second a window opens telling me that I was not able to log into Bnet and my only option is to click ok then throws me back to the main menu

[fervent flame]

Is anyone else having issues with launching skyrim or is it just me

[limpid quartz]

well now you're talking about it it is taking me two or three times to make it start

[fervent flame]

Oh so its not just me

[thick fulcrum]

So it has gotten a huge update with a lot of new content, and a ton of fixes and improvements?
Sounds like skyrim is doing great.

[lucid aspen]

From the number of people who had to wipe their load orders, and the amount of complaints we’re seeing on r/SkyrimModsXbox, I’d say it sounds like it isn’t.

Hopefully will all be addressed in the next update, but the implementation of this has been very poor.

Not warning the community that things you were working on older than six months would be lost was particularly disappointing.

[terse shard]

Playing vanilla is good. Modding via Bnet: not so much.

[noble wing]

why are mods in my library at dethesda.net coming and going on my xbox s inventory?

The update borked things

is there a E.T.A when the next update to fix?

this is still the best we have #modding-news message

[atomic narwhal]

So quick question why isn't cbbe on bethesda.net? I want to play with cbbe on my steam deck and it doesn't do nexus mods it only does beth.net

[terse shard]

Because no one has ported it since most people have used nexus for years and steam deck is still relatively new.

[amber furnace]

Search the web for "steam deck skyrim mods". From within the game, you can only access to the bethesda servers. You can find alot on YouTube or reddit on how to mod your game.

[atomic narwhal]

I could port it, if I get permission from the mod maker, that is.

[atomic narwhal]

I think you got confused, Im not asking how to mod.

[terse shard]

Yup. Go for it. Public perms are the way to go.

[burnt yarrow]

I know I posted a question a while ago, I don’t mean to ask this again (I’m going to delete the post now), but does anyone found that AFT is kinda broken now? It does work for only ONE follower, but not the 4 other followers you get to have. Will there be a patch for this soon, or an updated version of Amazing Follower Tweaks? Is there a better replacement for it? Still getting multiple followers, essential followers so they don’t not die, etc?

Also leveling them up won’t work. I only got Lydia to level up after my character and Jenessa wouldn’t level up. Tweak Commands only work for one follower which sucks if I need ALL of them to “relax” for a while.

I would also have to use the Tweak Make Follower to have multiple followers follow me because simply talking to them won’t manage their AFT. Only one follower will work, the rest of the four won’t.

[terse shard]

Have you run a clean test? Just AFT. No other mods.

[burnt yarrow]

It’ll corrupt my game if I disable all of my mods. Not gonna disable the patch mod but still.

Maybe other follower mods are causing this? I have the “Odaving now serves you” mod.

I have “Dialogue Interface Reshaped - Immersive w/NPC names version” maybe that’s it? You want me to post my LO again?

[terse shard]

You’ll need to start a new game to test. (Another assumption with any testing/LO changes)

[terse shard]

Nah. I would run a clean test first to eliminate a problem with the mod if you things that is likely.

[burnt yarrow]

I’ll first disable the Odaving mod and see if that’s the one. If not, I’ll disable all the mods except for the patch mod, alternate start, rich merchants, those mods because I need to prevent the crashes from happening (discover all 9 holds, Whiterun can be last) and I’m so sick and tired of the intro.

How would we know which mods cause this tho?

[terse shard]

Crashing?

[burnt yarrow]

Yes. My game never crashes after discovering all the 9 holds before doing anything else.

[terse shard]

Testing. Process of elimination. Hard reset. New game between any change to LO.

[terse shard]

Disabling mods mid game can cause all new problems.

[burnt yarrow]

Well I didn’t get to the dragon yet. Let me see tho. But I get what you mean.

[terse shard]

I thought you were testing AfT….

[burnt yarrow]

I am, but the Odaving mod is another follower mod that might have caused the issue. Idk.

[burnt yarrow]

@terse shard good news, it worked!

I just got done testing just now and AFT is working normally now.

[terse shard]

What did you change?

[burnt yarrow]

Well I disabled almost all of my mods. Idk yet but maybe the Odaving mod might be a problem I’m going to investigate.

@terse shard, I disabled that mod and used the spell to get rid of my follower’s AFT’s, ask them to follow me and the dialogue interface was loading and manages their AFT again, however, the Tweak Command still doesn’t work for all followers but one. Only Lydia can follow my Tweak Commands and not Marcurio and Jenessa. Yes I did enable all of my mods, disable the one I have to disable and went back to my game. There might be something else interfering AFT.

Since that mod is outdated, I found this mod similar to the old AFT. Just two years old. https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/8184/Immersive_Amazing_Follower_Tweaks_SE

Could that help?

Hang on, maybe you’re right. I’m gonna make a new game with my LO the way it is with certain mods disabled and see if it actually works. If not than yeah.

[amber furnace]

Depends on what you want. As stated, it is immersive, expect your followers to die, have a reduced carry weight. Also better to use it on a new game if already used AFT. I had the AFT dialog options when I switched to iAFT after proper uninstall.

[burnt yarrow]

Yeah nah not good. I actually got old AFT to work now. You need to make a new game after disabling the following mods I need to disable. I disabled a Neloth, Karliah, and Odaving follower mod and didn’t make a new game, just loaded an old save. But yes it works now.

@terse shard hey again. Sorry to bother you but it works now. I needed to make a new game with all of my mods enabled except for the three follower mods I disabled.

[pastel wasp]

Does anyone know what mods these belong to
Qw_ISC_CRF Patch.esp
Qw_PANNPs_CRF Patch.esp

[hexed notch]

looks like Qwinns patch collection. At least thats what itd be on pc

mind that rhat hasnt been updated in quite some time so chances are a lot of thr patches are outdated.

Other than both being patches for Cutting Room Floor couldn't say.

to me that looks like Qwinns patch compendium with one patching immersive sounds compendium with cutting room floor and the other patching likely pandorable npcs with cutting room floor

anyone else on console waiting for the gore companion mod to be updated? lol

[terse shard]

No but Inigo 3.0 would be nice.

[clear gull]

gah, yeah, but there are reasons why progress has been slow / it’s not out yet etc . idk if it’ll ever be released

either way i recommend gore he’s got some really great features and commentary. also there’s a vigilant addon if y’all are into horror. haven’t tried it myself ( i’m an xbox lad ) but it sounds incredible from what i’ve heard

[terse shard]

Probably same with gore

[clear gull]

oh, nope, the dev just released 1.6 last night

by update on console i mean an update by the porter
i gotta wait 🫡 hoping it’ll come soon bc it’s been a month or so. but yk, with the new skyrim update… bound to be issues

[terse shard]

Gotcha. Never heard of it. Not sure if it’s on Xbox or not.

[clear gull]

it is, has been since may ‘23

[terse shard]

Ah I see it now. So you are just waiting for Willoh to update her port?

[clear gull]

yeah, last time it was updated was nov 29th and it’s been, probably a couple of versions released since the last updated port

i’d reach out myself and ask however i know there’s been difficulties with ck fixes or something, and she may be busy etcetc. don’t want to push

[summer lichen]

How would I revert my CK to an earlier Skyrim version? 🤔 Enough people haven't updated for it to be a problem with mod releases

[terse shard]

Enough People haven’t what? Their game versions?

[summer lichen]

Yeah

A lot of people have downgraded and mods aren't backwards compatible. Fury was made in the latest CK so it only works on the latest version and people are complaining about that. 😦

[terse shard]

On Xbox/PC no one has/can do that. I am unsure if it is as common as you make it sound on PC players. 🤷‍♂️

[echo pivot]

@pine crown i found i bug but idk if its from the compression of unofficial patch, i just playing with USSEP and unofficial creation club patch, i got inside dragonreach and the alchemy table was invisible, leaving and entering the place fixed it tho, i though you should know, playing on Xbox series S with skyrim installed on internal storage.

[terse shard]

No SMIM mods?

[echo pivot]

Nope, just unoffical patch from arthmoor and the one from garthand

I like vanilla so i only add bugfixing to my game

[terse shard]

I’ve only seen that when using certain SMIM mods in combination. But even then rarely. When using both mods you mentioned. Unless it’s an oops in a recent update I guess.

[radiant light]

On Xbox if you have 120hz displays enabled in the settings, Skyrim suddenly gets stutters and glitches. I believe it’s caused by Skyrim actually trying to run at 120fps. I’m trying to spread the word, hoping someone will make a xbox mod that limits the fps to 60fps. This has been a known issue for a while, I don’t think Bethesda is going to fix it.

[kind falcon]

As a reminder, we do not allow advertising on the Server, including invitations to other Servers, outside businesses and services, other games, and any venture that results in monetary profit.

[summer lichen]

Indie game development is not exactly something that "results in monetary profit" 😦

[kind falcon]

You skipped over the "other game" part

[terse shard]

Would be nice if there was an “other games” channel.

[wind stag]

You mean like the ones "Other Games" have?

[tight hull]

maybe the off topic chanel

[terse shard]

Could be. Let’s see

[tight hull]

does anyone know how stable obis no facegen is,im getting a crash i think from obis,extended encounters or populated forts has anyone any problems with them,there was a part i was crashing at vaulthim towers i disabled populated and it didnt crash but it could of been a bandit that obis added i also crash at random encounters when a enemy spawns along the roads

[wind stag]

I think all three are fairly stable on their own, but you may be pushing your luck using them all at the same time

[tight hull]

i think it is being caused by a npc added by one of the mods,i think it is obis and populated and extended are using a bandit added by obis that is causing the crash,i know if i disable populated forts it wont crash i dont think it is a npc numbers problem

[echo pivot]

Not the case here, im using an 4k60hz tv

[raw bluff]

Modders can no longer make changes to the fps in Skyrim. Bethesda locked that out.

[deep inlet]

most likely the combo of all 3. OBIS has no such issues on it's own, nor any of the others. for it to be any one of those mods on their own, you would be the first to have found such an issue and addressed it. given how popular those mods all are, that seems very unlikely.

you've tested without populated, and no crash? then it's either populated or the combo 🤷🏻‍♀️ almost definitely the combo.

[echo pivot]

populated is involved with the crash i was approcing the towers and saved before i got there it crashed 3/4 times so i decided to disable populated i was able to get past the towers without a crash also when i was in the rift i had somthing similar happen with a random encounter disabling populated stopped the crash,on obis no facegen page the modder does say there using it to test for ctd so im thinking it could be that mod i looked at it in the ck it has alot of creatures in the lists some from mihail monsters maybe there crashing it because the no facegen version has no meshes

[noble wing]

Then just go to Nexis.

I only use Bethesda for PC to get my mods on xbox s I have to use Bethesda.

[hexed notch]

why are you still using fnis?

[night crater]

What else would I use? Dont plenty of mods require it?

[hexed notch]

the only mods that fnis is still needed for are a specific type of mlds that i cant tslk about here without incurring the wrath of neko.

[night crater]

Ah, yeah, I have plenty of those lol

[hexed notch]

outside of creature animations nemesis replaces fnis in its entirety. The only mods that touch creature animations are some of the ones i cannot mention

[ruby wolf]

where do i go for help setting up mods. im very very desperate

[hexed notch]

so unless you use those mods that do things with creature animations you use nemesis. If you use those mods then you are a better expert on them than i certainly am in which case i cant help you sith your problem
(i hope this was roundabout enough...)

[hexed notch]

what platform?

[ruby wolf]

steam skyrim special edition (using votex manager)

[hexed notch]

ok what problem do you have?

[ruby wolf]

aite so i was able to get the more visual mods to apply like onesthat affect chest and butt size but i couldnt get jiggle physics to work. not only that but SKSE is not willing to work with me and i think im doing something wrong there

Full mod list: ADDRESS LIBRARY FOR SKSE PLUGINS
FORES NEW IDLES IN SKRIM SE - FINIS SE
MFG FIX PAPYRUSUTIL SE - Modders scripting utility functions
SKYui
xp32 MAXimum Skeleton Special Extended - XPM SSE
RaceMenue SE
FINIS sexey move se
OSA
Dragonfly BBP animation for se
the super booty body SE
EDhildils statues & effigies
better shaped female creatures
female cicero
female ulfric
botox for skyrim
the ordinary women
bijin wives
bijin warmaidens
bijin npcs. (need to install SOS light)

[hexed notch]

i wonder what the extent of what they allow talking about that stuff here without beibg explicit is.. guess i ll see when i get yelled at..?
installing skse is kinda very simple ever since it has arrived on nexus. You just download it with mod manager and enable it

when you get into the main menu open console and type "getskseversion"

if you get a reply skse is working. Oh and after installing skse you always have to launch the game through skse. You cannot launch the game like you used to anymore

also in the list you sent me there arent rven any phyisicd related mods.

[ruby wolf]

so to clarify the skse thing i have to enable the mod then load thru skse , and do the console command?

[hexed notch]

yes

skse is a .exe file so you can execute it like any normal other program

[ruby wolf]

i treid to ge cbbe with cbpc to work but they never did for the physics

[hexed notch]

well it wont work without skse

[night crater]

Fun fact! I did literally nothing and everything works again for some reason, never touching my mods again lol

[radiant light]

Thanks

[radiant light]

Also I don’t know what the constellation symbol next to your name means, but if it means you can get in contact with anyone at Bethesda, could you alert them to the 120hz issue? It’s been a bug for a while, if you google it you can see any players have run into it.

[hexed notch]

it does not mean that we can get in contact with bethesda

it means we filled out a thingy at some point to get some info on starfield stuffs. And it also means that i haved bothered figuring out how to get rid of the role. I want my white name back 😦

[raw bluff]

There is a help page on Bethesda.net where you can fill out a bug report. They are still taking them for Skyrim SE and are still implementing fixes.

[hexed notch]

unfortunately 😭 (on pc anyways)

[pulsar wing]

"unfortunately"? 🤨

[hexed notch]

outsude of the introfuction of esls there hasnt really been a single tangible benefit to the constant updates since 2016.

and in turn workflows get more annoying and/or some mods get left behind completely

[pulsar wing]

Nonsense.

[hexed notch]

ok which of the bugfix update on pc has been truly worth it since 2016?

[pulsar wing]

[hexed notch]

i cant think of a single update that was worth leaving net script framework behind for

not to mention the hassle every single time to update the plugins and supporting multiple versions due to some people not wanting to leave older mods behind

so no i cant think of s single update that was truly worth it outside of esl in the last 8 years.

[long crow]

Is there a Crimson Dirks Vol 2? That's the only volume missing.

[hexed notch]

https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Crimson_Dirks
yes there is

[radiant light]

Filled one out a while ago. I guess we wait and see if they eventually fix it.

[latent violet]

[tight hull]

the game is alot more stable since the last update riften is alot better,im not sure what they changed

(seprate post) are there any mods that add the creation club music assets to skyrim music

[ruby wolf]

alright ive been trying to get this to work forever and im half ready to give up

allright its official i have given up

[terse shard]

My money is on “nothing.”

[hexed notch]

what do you even mean by stable? vanilla skyrim se hasnt been unstable...ever? it had a pretty good launch and outside of like lne instance or so rkght after launch i never had vanilla SE crash

if se crashes thats baaically always been on you and not on the game

[hexed notch]

kinda hard to tell you what you are doing wrong if you arent saying where you are failing lol

regarding the riften bad performance thing, engine fixes to a large degree fixed this already. The remainder of it really is up to the user and not making their drawcalls skyrocket

so bethesda fixing it now hardly is worth it to me on pc. If you play skyrim se unmodded rn chances are you'd just be powering through the issue considering how easy vanilla is to run. And if you are playing modded on pc chances are you are using engine fixes anyways

[violet phoenix]

I JUST got a pc like 20 mins ago. I got Skyrim, now I'm ready to mod. What do I need to know or do? (I'm transferring from Xbox modding)

[hexed notch]

Bethnet doesnt exist to you anymore. Nexusmods (and ig random internet pages) are where you reside now. You also dont want to open bethnet mods tab in the game.
Regarding anything else, gamerpoets peobably is a good place to get started with modding

has some nice guides. Oh and please use a mod manager. No manual modding on pc

[violet phoenix]

ight

[hexed notch]

oh and another thing, read mod description before installing and read it at least once more if you are having problems before going to the discussion section

[violet phoenix]

Doesn't Vortex also auto check for patches with mods u have installed?

[hexed notch]

no

there is a requirements tab on the nexus page that you can go through

if a mod such as a patch listed the mod you are currently looking at as a requirement it will be displayed there

[violet phoenix]

ight

[hexed notch]

mind that some dont do that so it may be worth typing into the nexus search the name of the mod you are trying to install

[pulsar wing]

You'll probably want to spend some time looking up tutorials on YouTube, for modding practices in general and then information specific to whichever mod manager(s) you end up using as there are some finer points to learn that you will likely find useful. Also, take the previous comments from 12nebur27 with a grain of salt; there is nothing wrong with getting PC mods from bethnet. At most there are some bugs being encountered with the in-game mod menu IIRC, but they (Bethesda) are working on a fix for that and if you're on PC and using a mod manager you generally don't need to use the in-game mod menu anyways.

[hexed notch]

last i checked opening bethnet from main menu disables any mod that does not have skyrim.esm as master. That has been around since the beginnkng.

it is not related to this update

[pulsar wing]

I wouldn't know; I exclusively use MO2 to run the game and manage my installs. If there is such a bug and BGS is not aware of it then it's something that should be reported to them so that they can get it fixed. Since they're already working on fixing other bugs it's an ideal time for it.

[hexed notch]

has been known for a long time, just like the tree issue it has been a known bug for years. Also its not really relevant to bethesda ig because almost all mods will have skyrim.esm as a master. Some, such as skyui however, dont

you bring up another good point though. Quite a few UI related mods are currently broken so it may be worth looking into downgrading once you come to grips wirh modding on pc

[pulsar wing]

...or they could just stay on the current version and use mods that have been updated to account for the new changes.

[hexed notch]

or not do that because the latest update doesnt really offer anything new. Staying on the latest update wont really work well once you have started a playthrough anyways so why bother

the one argument for the latest update, the updated plugin format, isnt an srgument for it anymore because BEES exists

[pulsar wing]

The patch notes which are available on the UESP wiki among other places speaks for itself on why that's nonsense.

[hexed notch]

ok i read through it and any of the more potentially serious ones in there have a fix already.

there may be a tiny hole on my argonian assembly but i ll take that any day over hoping that all the 80+mods id have to update every time get updated

[tight hull]

this is the mods channel not vanilla skyrim,with mods riften can lag riften had lag before the update and now it runs alot better with the same lo

[hexed notch]

then you didnt have engine fixes installed. Becuase engine fixes specifically adressed that issue.

[tight hull]

i play on console,what did engine fixes do to fix it

[hexed notch]

ah then we were misunderstanding each other. I wasnt wining over updates on console, i was specifically talking about pc because imo updating at this point causes more problems than it fixes now

any of the serious stuff that has been fixed was already fixed by mods on PC before

if we were in 2018 i wouldnt be complaining but its 2024 and its time to stop imo

[raw bluff]

It's fairly easy to keep the in-game mod manager from disabling any mod that doesn't use the main game file as a master. Which I'll be so bold as to say doesn't make sense. On MO2 I just use a different profile to load the game without my mods downloaded from elsewhere loaded.
Nab what I want from Beth.Net, then swap the profile back over and enable those plugins. Easy peasy.
Learning how to use a mod manager is an important step. Unless you intend to manually manage everything via xEdit and WyreBash.

[terse shard]

Even vanilla Skyrim used to crash on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Series S/X has basically eliminated crashing problems but now that it is forced 60FPS we continue to see FPS lag in certain areas.

[hexed notch]

thats le not se also i was talking the entire time about pc not console

[terse shard]

Pretty sure @tight hull plays@on Xbox. And yea 360 was LE but Xbox one was SSE

[deep inlet]

ngl i have literally never had it crash when i played on 360.

[terse shard]

Hmm. Maybe my memory of those days is fuzzy. Game was bugs galore. Pretty sure it crashed for me occasionally. Not often. Same as SSE.

[wind stag]

The game was buggy, but not crashy from what I recall

[terse shard]

But to 12’s point. SSE is applicable to the above convo. And yea it does crash on Xbox One.

[hexed notch]

at the time we were discussing it i was not aware that alann was not on pc. I assumed that he was due to me discussing PC SE from the very beginning

PC SE wasnt buggy. If we want to be pedantic maybe the first month it was. I dont remember exactly but basically since 2017 the latest PC SE was basically about as bug free as it is rn aka in a pretty good shape.

[terse shard]

SSE is still buggy.

[deep inlet]

oh yeah buggy as all hell. AI breaking, cells not loading properly, quest stages and scenes not progressing, god damn everything seemed to break at least once in a playthrough. but yeah, as far as i can remember it never crashed on me. is possible i just got lucky, or you just got unlucky 🤷🏻‍♀️

[hexed notch]

have you played vanilla SSE? because i did like 3 vanilla se playthroughs and i didnt manage to trigger a single serious bug. Not that that means there are none but its pretty hard to trigger a serious vanilla bug.

if you count sonething like npc getting stuck somewhere and you having to reload, ok then it has bugs but even breaking quest progression is not that easy and for the few quests where that is possible a reload fixes that just fine

LE was buggy and a mess. Particularly at launch. But SE has been nice, especislly for a beth game, basically since launch

[terse shard]

Yes. Multiple times. Last time I did was when AE was released.

[hexed notch]

then i am very impressed you managed to trigger a serious bug in vanilla se

[terse shard]

Have you ever heard of USSEP? There are literally hundreds of bugs still in the base game. (And don’t get me started on the AE content) And yea there is one “serious” bug. Part of the main quest. Potential quest breaker unless you are willing to keep trying to find a way around it. And less serious (since it’s not the main quest but still a big deal IMO) but just as common is the one where Karliah leaves nightingale hall and does not allow the quest to advance.
And lots of little things. The main things I noticed were mesh problems. (Big huge gaping “holes” in mountains for example. And what seemed like navmesh problems where NPCs would end up standing in weird places and sometimes get stuck.

[hexed notch]

A ton of the ussep bug fixes address these minor issues like mesh fixes. Which main quest bug are you referring to? Regarding Karliah, i know of the bug and yet have never once managed to trigger it. Id be interested to know where there are big gaping holes in vanilla though.

The existence of ussep doesnt mean that the base game is super buggy. If other games were this moddable theyd all have mods like ussep.

[wind stag]

I know of the Delphine Torch issue that's quest breaking

[echo pivot]

Hey I need help trying to figure out what other mod I need for the "Divine people of Skyrim" mod because it says it can't be downloaded because I don't have the necessary files

Did I do something wrong for the caps

[wind stag]

No. I did when I tried to type ussep with all caps

[echo pivot]

Oh ok so I got to download that

[echo pivot]

So I got to download that or something else

[wind stag]

Most likely you need ussep downloaded

[echo pivot]

Oh ok ty for helping

[echo pivot]

Which one do I download there's a lot of them

[echo pivot]

Ty for your help

[terse shard]

Right. USSEP is essential. Vanilla has bugs.

[terse shard]

The main quest bug is the one at the throat of the world where you get stuck during the time jump thing. Like most bugs apparently it doesn’t always happen. But for me it’s about a 90% occurrence.

[trim sail]

Re: the Karliah bug, I've not only had her repeatedly try to leave, but Brynjolf as well. Arrived at Nightingale Hall to find him already on his way back to the Cistern, and then when I entered the Hall, both of them kept trying to walk past me while talking until I Force blasted them to their cutscene triggers.

It happened again at Irkngthanz, so I wound up going through nearly all of the ruin alone until they were both suddenly there for the end. And it's something that's pretty much impossible to replicate for the USSEP to even try to fix, but it does happen; when it does, even reloading much earlier saves doesn't seem to help.

[echo pivot]

I need some new mods but idk what to download

I need some mods that give me a lot more weapon damage and a way to marry more then 1 person

[terse shard]

USSEP does fix the karliah bug. But it is easy to have a mod that resets the area to vanilla so USSEP doesn’t end up working.

[wintry fog]

Has the skyrim mods been fixed so they don't Uninstall or crash my game?

[latent violet]

Have you tried cleaning your files with xEdit?

[trim sail]

There's nothing in the log to suggest that they've fixed it, other than "Expanded the size of this trigger box as a possible solution to Karliah leaving Nightingale Hall after pulling the chain to enter the chamber." Arthmoor referred to it as "some still as yet unknown set of circumstances that leads to her leaving before running the scene" just last year. It's a problem that exists, but getting it to happen is like waiting for the planets to align.

[pine crown]

That's also the only thing that could be affecting it given the conditions under which that scene fails. It was conceivable that you could get dropped into the cell outside the range of that box considering you're entering with 2 NPCs in tow.

[terse shard]

I tested it and it now works. It did not used to prior to that addition to USSEP.

[echo pivot]

Does anyone know a mod to spice my game up I'm on Xbox

[frigid violet]

I’m having issues w my kaidan mods animations

[brittle rapids]

Just found something else this update from our overlord god Howard has gifted us. Beyond Reach part 2 is broken and is registered as “0 Bytes”. So now no voice lines and I’m not sure part 1 will function without it. 🙃

[echo pivot]

I need a mod for skipping dialogue

[trim sail]

Any specific dialogue? Because you don't actually need a mod to skip most of the dialogue in the game.

[pulsar wing]

Coincidentally, I encountered that in an unusual way when I decided to try starting a no-mods playthrough a day or so ago only for Hadvar to get attacked by wolves at the start of the cart ride which prevented him from entering Helgen. The subsequent scenes still continued as though nothing were wrong, just with Hadvar missing and his dialogue gone. The imperial captain proceeded to appear like she had gone mad, having an intermittent conversation with someone that nobody else could see or hear.

[trim sail]

Thus, most. Because that's how I, uh, accidentally shot one of the random encounter revelers in the chest once.

The first time I ever encountered one of those random thieves out on the road, a dragon was attacking the Western Watchtower (post-Dragon Rising). I selected "I don't have time for this" because, y'know. I didn't, what with the dragon and all.

Thief tried to attack me and got roasted by the dragon.

My character almost followed suit because my real life self was too busy laughing.

[final timber]

I had the very same thing happen to me once. Except in my case I was using a mod that added extra creatures to the game. Hadvar got off his horse to fight a pack of wolves and didn't make it back to Helgen in time for my execution.

[trim sail]

He wasn't there to not spare you. 😔

[sage echo]

Skyrim just Skyrim's sometimes.

[long crow]

Now I need a mod that either blocks random encounters from happening in places like Inns, or a mod that makes people run away when I'm being attacked. Got jumped by Taron Dreth and his three merc buddies in the Silver Blood Inn. One bystander was killed.

[cedar temple]

im planning to get back to skyrim modding after a year or so, are the mods now all good for AE or should i downgrade again?

[thick fulcrum]

Almost all mods work fine with AE.
It highly depends on which mods you mean with "The mods" though.

[cedar temple]

i see, thanks!
i just want to know if most of the mods are now good to go for AE cause i last modded skyrim around the time AE released which destroyed my mods iirc

[thick fulcrum]

Even on AE launch, most mods were already ready to go. Just some SKSE mods needed to be updated.
And many of those were done within a month or so.

[ripe fossil]

Just updated Skyrim to the current version (SKSE and mods also updated). When loading the game via Vortex/SKSE, I get the 'Available Now: Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade!' message on the main menu (although of course I already own the AE), and clicking on Creations asks me to log in. Is this something I need to setup again? No probs when starting the game via Steam and no probs with Vortex/SKSE prior to this update.

Any thoughts much appreciated!

[final timber]

Skyrim Anniversary Edition and Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade are different things. Skyrim Anniversary Edition is essemtially Special Edition, renamed and bundled with four free Creation Club items. Anniversary Upgrade adds all 74 existing Creation Club items.

Is it possible that you have Skyrim Anniversay Edition but not the Anniversary Upgrade?

[terse shard]

I thought it was just considered SSE unless you bought AE.

[crude helm]

anyone having trouble uploading a mod to behesda.net for Xbox ?

[ripe fossil]

I bought the Anniversary Upgrade for SSE rather than the AE standalone (though both display as owned in Steam). When I launch the game via Steam, the main menu appears as it should (golden coloured Skyrim logo, no 'AE Upgrade' text, and I can access Creations just fine (this was also the case prior to updating to the latest build and was fine with Vortex/SKSE too); it's only when I launch via Vortex/SKSE now that I get this issue.

[stoic portal]

Anyone having trouble updating mods?

Ps4 btw

There are mods which I know have been updated but the “update” prompt doesn’t appear

Talking about aurel’s mod compilation

No ahahah, my problem is updating any existing mods in the creations menu

[raw bluff]

This is a probelm with the new UI. You'll either have to clear all your mods (I forget how to do this on PS) or wait for Bethesda to update.

[echo pivot]

Anyone got any mod suggestions I can use on xbox

[red shale]

For what tho? Weapons?, armor? Graphics?, locations?

[ripe fossil]

Basically, it feels like when launching via SKSE the game doesn't connect to my Steam account.

[pulsar wing]

Supposedly the steam integration got borked in that regard and you can resolve it by creating a text file in the main skyrim install directory called "steam_appid" and putting "489830" inside it (without the quotation marks) and then saving it.

Bear in mind that's secondhand information and so I don't know if it's true; it's just something I kept seeing mentioned while looking into setting up a playthrough over the last couple days.

[ripe fossil]

Thanks so much for the info - that did the trick!

seeing the butterflies and the planks I would say Whiterun a city full of life.

[red shale]

Hmmm, divine cities has that notice board but not the planks and whiterun a city full of life had the planks and butterfly’s but no notice board

[dusty slate]

notice board is a separate mod

[amber furnace]

As far as I remember, Divine cities changes the layout of the market stalls. This is not the case in your video. The board is the one from Missives, not Notice boards.

[raw bluff]

Ohh, your right. That is the Missives board. This is why I was thinking it was an old DC. The stalls hadn't been moved yet.

Divine Cities is unique.

Divine Villages incorporates a few designs from others, but is largely unique.

Message Box Perk menu system

[amber furnace]

DMH busty skeevers for global interiors lighting + a different set of values for dungeons and caves. For more flexiibility, Ana's spells for XB1 would give you a spell named ANA's light that you can favorite and assign to your Dpad to use as an on/off switch, presuming you' re on console. For exterior lighting, it mainly depends on your weather mod. You could check Dynamic display settings (also for interiors) but it is meant to be based on the Player character localization and time of day. I am not aware of any mod that would handle everything you need in a fully automated way.

[golden depot]

Anyone else having problems in 16:10 resolutions after the 1.6.1130 update? like Steam Deck (1280x800)?
Initially I was thinking it might be the SkyUI's/interface mods fault, but problems with the interface being squashed are happening even in a 100% vanilla game. It affects all menus, inventory and compass/map (icons) are the most noticeable.

In 1.6.640 and previous versions the interface scaled correctly in 16:10.

[golden depot]

This is what the map looks like, I added the version number to avoid confusion.
On 1.6.1130 the icons are longer/being stretched.

[honest python]

I dont know why but the vanilla UI was designed in 16:9 @ 1280x720. As you probably know, the UI is made from vector graphics which are infinitely scalable without quality loss. It looks like the UI is stretching to fit the extra bit of vertical space on your 16:10 (+80px). Im not sure what a solution would look like because not stretching it would result in an 80px gap top/bottom.

I think some menus will anchor their elements to the screen edges correctly regardless of aspect ratio. Does your HUD look correct?

For other menus, aspect ratios other than 16:9 were not even considered.

Wood weapons

If you can't use iron, you can rely on some wooden stuff

You can also use these if you're looking for a challenge

I advise using the warhammer if you are a two handed user

I like the warhammer. One of the kill moves from it lets you headbutt your enemy to death,

[sand ember]

Would it be possible to request a port an updated flora respawn fix back to Xbox on this channel?

[raw bluff]

Isn't that fix included in USSEP?

[echo pivot]

Hello, idk if this falls under a stupid question or not, but is it possible to create a mod with a character, for example, Spartacus from the Show, and include lines from his show in game or does that fall under copyright and tos? I just was wondering if you could make mods like Kratos NPCs or others. Any information helps, thank you 😊

[pulsar wing]

Assuming this page is still accurate, no:
Flora Respawn Fix - This is a clever workaround for the bug introduced in Patch 1.3 where most flora objects in the game won't respawn no matter how long you wait for them. Requires unsupported TREE record edits and so is not suitable for inclusion in the USSEP.

[raw bluff]

Ah

[raw bluff]

The voice lines would fall under copyright and ToS. You can make a "spartan" and design it to look very similar to an existing character. But using something protected like the character's name or iconic look or armor would be prohibited.
Mind you this mainly applies when publishing to Beth.Net. Nexus doesn't have such rules. Doesn't mean you can't get a DMCA though.

[pine crown]

I think that particular flora respawn fix is considered obsolete now and solutions favoring the use of SKSE have taken hold instead.
In which case porting them to XBox would be impossible.
No idea if the original TREE record fix would work on console or not.

[lean garnet]

Heyo - does the SKSE team have a donation platform? I was hoping to tip them but I don't see anything on Nexus or their website

[honest python]

Not as a team, but some of the individuals in the team have donation links for DP and paypal.

[lean garnet]

Any chance you could point me in that direction then? Is it on their Nexus profiles or something?

[honest python]

This is Ian Patterson. He has been on the team since before Skyrim was even a thing. https://www.nexusmods.com/users/2166624
Another is Expired who did much work on Fallout 4 and Skyrim. https://www.nexusmods.com/users/2950481
And others too.

[lean garnet]

Ah, yes, thank you. Some times I wonder what would happen if all the scorned developers and talented modders got together and formed their own large-scale game development enterprises

[fervent flame]

Is there any good mods that allows the player to follow molag bal or the other daedric princes

[trim sail]

There are some that allow you to worship them, and some that overhaul their shrines, etc.

[fervent flame]

Ok but im trying to figure out why the moldering ruins is acting up

[trim sail]

Then ask that question here instead of how to improve your daedric prince experience. The two questions aren’t necessarily related.

[deep inlet]

Wintersun, or Stigr Virding which uses Wintersun as a base and expands on it

[fervent flame]

Thank you

[wind stag]

I had originally ported it but had seen reputable comments where Flora Respawn Fix could cause long term instability in games so I removed it.

[sand ember]

Thanks for the responses I was curious what had happened with it. Also thanks Arthmoor if only there was some other work around lol

[golden depot]

After update 1.6.1170, Creations menu no longer show a download progress bar. Is that right? Why did they remove this feature?
HUD still broken/stretched at 16:10 screens caused by update 1.6.1130 (no surprise to be honest).

[echo pivot]

I haven’t got a clue where to post this, but my entire creations page on XBOX just up and died. It reverted to the old style prior to the new update, several of my mods are disabled and I’m unable to do anything with them. Can’t delete, enable or disable.

[sweet wolf]

Ooo I guess it's just the other channel that doesn't allow pics to be posted. Good to know!

[sudden fog]

I wish DAR was on xbox

[orchid shadow]

Please try the listed steps: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/54795

[keen fog]

1 - The creations menu still randomly crashes (much less often though) from time to time after the update. 2 - That double space bug remains.
3 - after another crash mo LO has been slightly rearranged automatically.

[raw bluff]

For clarity, are you saying all mods require double space or only mods that have multiple mod pages. IE Arthmoor's mods like USSEP, CRF, and LAL. Though I believe he has removed the duplicate pages for CRF and LAL.

In my testing only mods that have multiple pages are doing this as it seems the manager is trying to download both. Only one actually gets downloaded as the other is overwritten.
Bethesda can't help us if we wont help them.

[echo pivot]

the former

i believe mazzy has mentioned it affected all mods in #modding-general

also kyn and a few others tested with other mods

[raw bluff]

I've downloaded multiple mods that did not require double the space. There is clearly more to it. As I said I've only seen it for mods that have multiple pages. Check to see if the mods you are attempting to download have more than one page up. Even if it's by other posters.
The manager may be trying to download any mod with the same file name. Which is crazy, but more solveable than, "any mod does it".

[echo pivot]

🤔 that'd be strange because the mod kyn mentioned flagrant graphical overhaul doesn't have another port with same esp name. don't think skyland aio and fantasia landscapes have the same esp names either but i haven't tried those.

are you sure you're not confusing it for normal ghost space which sometimes can happen like that? downloading mods with same esp name?

the workaround for this new issue is basically downloading mods from largest to smallest because if you download normally, you might come across the issue depending on the mod

[mental crane]

Not sure if this is the right place to report this or not, but wanted to mention it instead of assuming others had already. After the update, I opened Skyrim, entered Creations, and checked my load order. Everything was appropriate and I did not change a thing. But when I backed out of Creations, I got the notice the game needed to restart because my load order had changed. I restarted, went back to creations, and my LO had almost 100 mods disabled and rearranged. Huge time suck and disappointing that’s still an issue after this update

[sweet wolf]

Just to be clear, the double space issue ONLY applies when trying to download/install a mod. After it's been downloaded it will take up the correct amount of space. You will only see this problem when you don't have double the available space left of the 5GB limit. This problem happens with all mods.

[amber furnace]

I agree with you. But in any case this is an IT nonsense. I don't know how mods are managed on Bethesda side, but it should be through a DB. Why link a request to a filename when each mod has a unique id ? Double check should be set on mod_id/filename when sending the request. Btw, I have mods listed twice in my LO, different versions, different thumbnails, once the space.

[raw bluff]

Humm, I've only been trying single mods. Or a short full list. Any idea how many mods it seems to take?

[raw bluff]

This is what I've been wondering. The new interface will see that your save is missing a mod, it only knows the filename, then try to download that mod for you. Is this making it download all mods with the same filename? Cause that would explain this issue. I don't think it even tracks the IDs.

The pages for multiple similar mods have unique IDs though. For reference I'm looking at the PC/Xbox page for USSEP:
https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/5621/Unofficial_Skyrim_Special_Edition_Patch__USSEP_
And the Xbox only page;
https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/5616/Unofficial_Skyrim_Special_Edition_Patch__USSEP___X

[echo pivot]

from what ive seen, it depends on the mod(s) size. easiest way to test out is thru downloading mods til you get around 2-3GB then attempt to download skyland aio which is around 1GB.

[raw bluff]

I tried with Skyland AiO cause I've seen it reported. Didn't get it saying it needed double the space. Let me push it to the last mod installed and see what happens.

Also, thank ya'll for helping clarify this issue more. I know it's happening, just trying to figure out why it's happening.

[echo pivot]

hmm how much space did you have left before downloading skyland aio?

[raw bluff]

Last time? Around 3 ~ 4 gig.

[echo pivot]

ah id recommend trying it at around 2GB minimum for skyland aio

[sweet wolf]

You need less than 2GB available space for this to show. Skyland was tested multiple times with 1.5GB available space left and still had this issue. About 10 people have confirmed this.

[raw bluff]

The question then becomes why the manager doesn't show Skyland needs 2 gigs when you have more than that available, but does when you have less.

[amber furnace]

Could the 2x have been implemented to allow updates ?

[raw bluff]

Shouldn't.

They did make the manager smarter, it now shows you that it's holding ~40MB of space for itself. Whereas before it didn't. But then we also got a host of new problems.

[sweet wolf]

Skyland doesn't NEED 2GB. It's 1023.04MB (just under a 1GB). That is the correct size and has been since April 8, 2023. The double space problem only showed up after the December update.

[amber furnace]

I know, but I have seen so many nonsenses in my IT career. This is just a feeling I already had before the Decmber update.

[raw bluff]

As have I. 😂

[raw bluff]

Ok, for clarification. When you go to download Skyland AiO, does it say it only needs 1 gig, but then says you don't have enough space? Or does it say it needs 2 gig, which is why you don't have enough space. I'm not in game yet to retest myself. Trying to get something taken care of before the direct today.

[sweet wolf]

The mod shows the correct space on the download page (1023.04MB) but when you go to install with less than 2GB of available space left, it says you can't download due to not enough space. I sent a picture of the message to Carto yesterday btw

[amber furnace]

As for Skyland AIO, are you sure that Skyland Architecture AIO doesn't share the same filename. It's around 800 mb. Just to eliminate the multiple select issue.

[raw bluff]

I missed that, I'll search it up thanks.

[raw bluff]

AiO has a similar filename. But it ends with "aio".
I checked that myself yesterday.

[sweet wolf]

I am 100% positive. Plus, the multiple mod with the same esp name download issue only happens when you switch to another version on the same LO...

Example,
In your LO you have ModName.esp installed but you see there is another version so you remove the one you already have installed and then download the new one. BOTH versions will now show in your LO as installed but the one you previously removed isn't actually installed. When you delete 1 of them they both get deleted. But once you re-download the one you want again, only the correct one will show in your LO.

[silent copper]

Hi guys. Sorry to jump in, but do u know if it's possible to go back to the 1.6.1 version? I just got my LO to work after the december update but since the update yesterday(?) they don't work anymore. And I'm really not in the mood to change my LO again :c

[amber furnace]

Ok, thanks for the info. This means that they should add the mod_ id or/and pathway to the local index file on the console to fix it.

[echo pivot]

just curious, which issue would that solve?

[raw bluff]

The one Kynkaid was explaining here; #skyrim-se-mods message

Probably wouldn't do anything for the double space issue.

[amber furnace]

Multiple download of mods with same filename. Your LO only knows the mod filename it seems.

[echo pivot]

oh

[sweet wolf]

Also, if thers a way for the site to acknowledge when you've updated a description and hit publish again as actually being updated like it used to do. That would be atleast a temp fix for the problem most are having with not being able to access their older uploads. Currently locked into the 100(ish) most recent uploads and the previous ini fix no longer works. Before the December update, whenever you updated a description the site would acknowledge it as being updated and inturn pushing that mod to the top of your list in CK.

[amber furnace]

Indeed. If the x 2 value is a constant, then it is set somewhere at best as a parameter, at worst hardcoded.

[raw bluff]

Should be a parameter as it wasn't there prior to the update last year.

I would hope they didn't bake it into the UI anyway.

[raw bluff]

That would also cause the mod to show up as updated in the in-game manager as well. I think Bethesda wanted to stop that as a way to "bump" your mod into the "Recent" list. Which of course broke something else in the process.

[amber furnace]

We had a full new Skyrim in December (the file I mean), so who knows ? Good practices ... 😁

[sweet wolf]

Ya I agree that was absolutely a problem so I understand the need to get rid of it. Hopefully the ini fix gets fixed (lol) or the new ini setting we need gets figured out asap!

[raw bluff]

What's the old adage; "Best practices are only a suggestion if no one uses them."

[raw bluff]

I'm afraid they wanted to disallow ini edit mods and nobody told us. Nobody told Carto either apparently.

[echo pivot]

that'd be wild

[sweet wolf]

Oooohhh... Ya that's definitely a problem as many mods need ini edits to work correctly. Like performance inis for grass and such. Atleast some can be edited ingame via script but some are hard coded unfortunately.

[raw bluff]

They didn't take down any mods with ini edits, or mods that were only ini edits. But they also didn't take down any of the mods that attemped to change the FPS via ini, which no longer work, either.

[sweet wolf]

Guess at this point in regards to ini mods is that they reinstate allowing ini uploads. If you have anymore questions about the bugs we discussed, feel free to ping/message me.

[amber furnace]

Hard coding was (is ?) the programmer's life insurance...🤞

[sweet wolf]

Lol

[raw bluff]

I just need to get to more testing. I'm just piddling around right now and could have my Xbox downloading mods while I piddle.

"Piddle" isn't considered avoiding the banned words is it?

[chilly sand]

All I'm waiting for is fuzrodoh and race menu to get updated lol

[raw bluff]

I anyone even maintaining race menu at this point?

[burnt yarrow]

Anyone using Xbox, did you go offline from your network settings and turned off auto updates? Does it actually work? I have these settings on and I didn’t play Skyrim yet. I’m hooting it actually works.

I just made a new game like three days ago lol. Not gonna do this again in a LONG TIME.

[raw bluff]

That depends. Do you own the game digitally or physically? Digitally your Xbox will require a check to make sure you still own it at some point. Physically you could go offline every time you slot the disc and it would keep working offline.

[burnt yarrow]

Physically.

Should’ve been more specific before, but yes I use the disc.

[raw bluff]

Yeah, just go offline before you slot the disc and you'll be fine.

[burnt yarrow]

Yay okay! There is another game, a digital one, that needed an update and I used it as a test and I think I was able to launch the game without issues. I just did it like maybe yesterday, and I don’t recall issues from digital. I do prefer physical copies, but I had a game that’s not physical.

I can test it again to be sure.

[echo pivot]

I think that method just won't work with gamepass games

[raw bluff]

With the way Game Pass works the console make regular checks to see if you still have rights to a game. When it needs to do that for a game you've been playing offline it will throw an error asking you to go online. At that point you are locked out of the game till you launch it while online.
You'll also want to make sure you have auto-updates turned off so it doesn't grab the Skyrim update without telling you.

[burnt yarrow]

I already turn off auto updates for game and apps. Also I bought the digital game from the Microsoft store, I don’t use Game Pass.

[raw bluff]

Still, it will do the same check for owned games. Wish it didn't, but apparently that info isn't stored in your account. If it's your Home Xbox it will be longer before it does the check than if it isn't.

[burnt yarrow]

Do I have to turn off both games and apps and console updates? The console update is on for the console itself, the games and apps is off. I’m sick of having to manually update the console.

[chilly sand]

Does anyone know when race menu and fuzrodoh a silent voice is gonna be updated for Skyrim on PC 🙂

[magic turtle]

@karmic path Hey I found some of your skyrim PS4 mods for crafting items from the anniversary creation club content, I was wondering if these would work on PS5 Anniversary Edition or if I should use special edition. Sorry I am new to using mods and I am trying to figure out compatibility.

[karmic path]

Hi! Everything should be fine so long as you have the anniversary edition 🙂

[magic turtle]

@karmic path perfect thanks so much! I have only ever played vanilla skyrim, I am excited to jump into the new Anniversary Edition and try mods for the first time. I am going to use your two mods to craft creation content and the pirate stuff.

[karmic path]

Thanks for checking em out. Hope you enjoy ❤️

[burnt yarrow]

I had my console offline and disabled auto updates, launched a digital game, and played it for a bit and nothing happened. Like nothing went wrong. So my Skyrim is doing pretty great! Can’t access the creation menu, but my mods are working.

[raw bluff]

If it's your home Xbox it won't do the check for a month I think. If it isn't your home the check is either weekly or daily. I've seen nothing to verify the timeframe on this, sorry.

[burnt yarrow]

Like my Xbox account that I’m logged in? Sorry I don’t get that part. I am signed in to my own Xbox account.

But I’ll be offline anyway, could it check on you even offline?

[raw bluff]

If you don't have multiple Xboxes or don't let friends use your Xbox games on their systems it's something you won't have to worry with.
It's a setting on the console that allows you to play games you own or have via GP without being online.

[burnt yarrow]

I have two Xbox: one for me and one for someone else. I own a copy of Skyrim. It’s hard to explain, but let’s just say that games like the digital one (a different game I rather not say because it may be off topic) that I tested used to be someone else’s game, but the guy moved to a new console and allowed his owned game, the digital one, to be mine. So I can play it without a requirement to sign in someone’s account. Anyway though, again I own Skyrim. The Xbox I’m using is mine. There is two accounts in there, but again he moved to another Xbox. Does that make sense to you? It’s hard to explain, but I want to make sure we’re on the same page on this one.

[echo pivot]

[ivory night]

Does anybody know if the update the other day fixed the Bethesda mod page from screwing up the load order or not. I've been wanting to play again but don't want to if they haven't fixed that.

[terse shard]

Sounds like some things are fixed but there are still problems

[ivory night]

Ah. Ok. Thank you.

[latent trench]

I need to check myself

I was scared it removed my mods but thankfully I just can’t access them.

[ivory night]

I might hold out if it's not all sorted yet. LoL

Wow. Yeah I seen people on here saying it was screwed up so I've been waiting.

[latent trench]

Even if it never gets fixed my load order is a basically perfect Skyrim Remastered. Not a bad thing to be stuck with.

[ivory night]

Haha Right. I'm not that lucky. I was playing around with my LO the last time I played. So it's probably all janky.

[terse shard]

That’s what I’m doing. Still not sounded like it’s usable. Maybe if you go offline helps. But there are other problems sometimes too that tgey didn’t know about like the double space requirement. (Not sure if that just an Xbox thing).

[ivory night]

Sounds more messed up than I thought it was. Yeah. I'm gonna play something else while they're fixing that. LoL

[latent trench]

Yeah Skyrim wasn’t fixed, still broken looking load order.

[latent trench]

@carmine swallow do you remember what you had?

[carmine swallow]

All my Skyrim mods got deleted and I can't even redownload them because my mod library is overwhelmed with past mods that I deleted a long time ago

[latent trench]

Yeah the menus are completely broken for some people like me.

[terse shard]

Did y’all try a hard reset? I think that is recommended after the update?

[latent trench]

Thankfully my mods weren’t deleted but it just means I can’t add or even look through the categories.

[carmine swallow]

Yes I've resetted my Xbox console I did a hard reset as well but I'm still overwhelmed in my library with past mods that I deleted a long time ago

[terse shard]

Yea that’s irritating.

[latent trench]

We might have to just keep waiting for a update.

[terse shard]

Yup

[carmine swallow]

Why couldn't they just reset to the way it was before they broke it

[latent trench]

Cuz they overhauled the menu to combine creation club and mods together.

They’re trying to make paying for mods the norm.

[carmine swallow]

I pray to all the daedric princes and Lords that will never happen

[terse shard]

Doubt it will ever be the norm for Skyrim since current mods can’t switch to paid mods. But Starfield. Could be the norm.

[latent trench]

Yeah that’s true.

[carmine swallow]

💀

[terse shard]

Up to the mod authors. I would think enough will still make them free. Unless Bethesda makes it hard to pass up.

[echo pivot]

Im on console, apparently with immersive features, they are loaded in a specific order, it’s messing with his face texture

[native latch]

Yeah if you are using a female body Kaidan 2.1.1 needs to be loaded above that. Extended Edition will go in immersion and Immersive Features needs to be near the bottom of the LO

Are you using a replacer and any male skin textures?

[echo pivot]

A male skin replacer

@native latch It also requires Kaidan 2

[native latch]

No it doesn't the only mods necessary to run Kaidan fully are Kaidan 2.1.1 (laura_moon port make sure it's the newest version) Kaidan Extended (Spectromance port) and Kaidan Immersive Features (Spectromance port)

[echo pivot]

Ok

@native latch So I can delete Kaidan 2? and how should they be sorted in the load order

[native latch]

#skyrim-se-mods message

[native latch]

If you are using any mod that is nemesis based such as GDB combat animations only one will work. Kaidan's Immersive mod animations will tpose if you have another mod that is overriding it.

[timber nexus]

hey guys, is it worth the hassle of going through the MCO installation? or should i stay with skysa if i dont have many MCO animations?

only got 1 MCO animation but it has SKYSA version

[pulsar wing]

Well, sometimes an enemy has a habit of falling through the geometry, so they might be there but not where you can see them. Have you tried looking all around with a Detect Life or Detect Dead spell to see if there's something you missed? Alternatively, the mod might also be looking at a list of targets rather than what's actually nearby (or may be checking for the site to have the "Cleared" status as seen on the world map), so if something was supposed to be there but for some reason went somewhere else etc it could cause it to fail to work right. As much as i'd like to pop it open in the CK or xEdit and have a look at what logic the mod is using to make that determination, I don't have the kind of disposable funds to justify buying it just for that. You should probably try reporting it to the author; maybe it's an unknown issue, or if it is known they may have some suggestions you can try to attempt to resolve it.

[zinc valley]

I got them on my first time entering. After 3 more trys i found a spidersitting at the start of the long firetrappassage. But since than i never found any more npcs as i did visit it again and again if i wouldcome near ustengrav again

[craggy turret]

Hmm. How about the secret passage? When you first go in, past the mages in the main room, head down the steps into the battle between mages and draugr. After that's done, go through to the hall, make a right, and there should be a hidden passage on the right, before you enter the next draurg room.

Unfortunately, I use a lot of population/enemy mods, so I can't remember if there are vanilla enemies in there or not.

[zinc valley]

No enemy in that hidden passage in my game. Its only a chest in the end... Seems i have to make my nord warrior blacksmith turn in to a mageuser to use livedetect or find all thuum and maybe there is ashout for detecting too

[pulsar wing]

There is a detection shout called Aura Whisper: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Aura_Whisper

You also don't have to permanently make them into a spellcaster if you don't want to; simply saving before you start searching and/or using mods to search more effectively (such as using a mod like Debug Menu to enable god mode so you have infinite magicka and then can use a detect spell or the shout more conveniently) and then reverting to the save once you figure out where the enemies are is a viable strategy.

Makes sense

[raw bluff]

Honestly we don't know if that setting still does anything in the new UI. I doesn't break it but the list also shows more items than the mod is set to show you.

Plus right now it's impossible to update as I believe it's an ini edit and the CK won't let you upload ini files for some reason.

My recommendation would be to sign into your account on Bethesda.net and manually remove all the old mods that are in your Library.

yep. already informed carto a few days ago about it, the whole section is inaccessible in-game. grandfathered bookmarked mods seem to work, but newly bookmarked or newly uploaded are no bueno.

[sage echo]

Bookmark it on the website and then look under the category (LT) and then sort by Date descending. It came up for me after it very weirdly let me bookmark my own creation. But it is my own so that might be the rub.

If it matters, I care more about testing the quest mod rather than ini. Ini I spent 5 minutes on. The quest mod took me a month. It has priority

[safe vault]

Someone know a Skyrim modded discord where you can send in crash logs and supportive people tell you what may caused the crash?

[raw bluff]

Doesn't the Collective Modding Discord do that?

[brisk yacht]

Hey guys, hopefully someone can help. I recently went back to xbox skyrim to play vanilla but i got a problem (surprisingly). So basically im trying to get all achievements (im at 32) & ive got a 2 quests that seem to be bugged.

I had a similar issue with starfield so I downloaded a .dll mod that allowed me to use console commands without disabling achievements because a certain NPC or TWO was hostile so i needed to setstage to get past that bit on the quest. I have used the quest debugger mod on xbox to skip what im stuck on but since i enabled mods to test, i have achievements block. im currently downloading skyrim from the windows store hoping i can find a similar .dll to enable console commands without losing achievements so i can setstage. Does anyone know of one for skyrim?

This is what i used for starfield

[pulsar wing]

I can't recall if you can even mod the windows store version of it tbh. If you can, I suppose you could try seeing if the achievement enabler mod that works currently for Steam works for it. Specifically, it has to be the dll loader version of the achievement enabler mod, not the SKSE version as the latter is not currently functional.

[pine crown]

You can use mods from bethesda.net in the MS Store version. Nothing that requires SKSE though.

[brisk yacht]

Yeah the one ive been seeing on nexus mentions SKSE but ill check the DLL one. Another post mentioned on reddit says that its not a permanent fix but recommends for example:
Achievement at level 50, when at level 49, save the game move over to PC. Enable to mod get to level 50, save and go back to console and then repeat once youre about to get an achievement which would be a pain in the ass ngl haha.

I did find this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxGamePass/comments/xxz3qu/achievement_enabler_for_skyrimseae_on_pc/
Which points to this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/245
But the notes mention: Unavailable for UWP and Consoles due to their locked down nature.

Been trying to find out where i downloaded the StarfieldAB.dll from and hoping the guy made something for skyrim. I know he mentioned that when you save a game / use console commands, theres a few bytes that get changed and he basically forced them to stay a 00 instead of 01 for example.

Thanks for the help and i might aswell give the nexus mod enabled a go if all else fails haha

[pulsar wing]

If you're unable to use the dll loader with it then you're out of luck.

In order to get the achievement you may have to simply do something like create a new save purposefully for just getting the achievement and just blitz past everything else in the game and gun straight for the achievement. If you're lucky, you may avoid whatever bugs are blocking you from getting it. Then you can just move on with your regular playthrough.

[brisk yacht]

Yeah im just gunna give it ago. Best way to test it really is when i load in on my xbox check if it has [M] next to the save file.

I swapped from modding skyrim on xbox to PC because of the 5GB limit, got around 883 mods or so but im mainly an xbox player and legit only really use my PC for modded skyrim but im tryna 100% my games achievements on xbox and skyrim is next on my list lol

Dont think it matters anyway tbh 😂 Skyrim just finished downloading and my saves havent downloaded 👀 dont think it has play anywhere 🤷‍♂️ 😂

[raw bluff]

No Skyrim is not a Play Anywhere title. You can't bring your Xbox saves over. SKSE will work with the Windows Store version so long as you aren't playing from Game Pass. You just have to follow the manual install instructions and find the game under a folder called "XboxGames".

[gusty tiger]

yo i tried to downgrade skyrim se but i got this

[honest python]

Perhaps it is a Windows UAC file permissions thing? That might happen for apps attempting to write files under C:\Program Files. These failures are from WRITE, so maybe it doesnt want to overwrite existing files if not a UAC thing. Try deleting existing files before downloading the depo too.

[gusty tiger]

how, sorry for the late response

this is the only part of the downgrading my pc has a problem with for some reason and i suck at anything with pc's so can someone pls help me

A few

[pulsar wing]

If you don't mind my asking, what's your reason for wanting to downgrade Skyrim in the first place?

[latent violet]

His PC’s a potato, that’s why,

[thick fulcrum]

How does downgrading the skyrim version help with it running better?

[pine crown]

It doesn't. Objectively it would be worse since that means giving up on the compiler optimizations in the 1.6 branch.

[raw bluff]

I'm sure someone out there is still selling LE. It will run on a lower end system.
It won't run better, but it will run.

[gusty tiger]

mods

but i got it working

[gusty tiger]

i got it working still thx

[pulsar wing]

Right, but which ones? SKSE already works with the latest version, as does sse engine fixes, and the dll loader version of achievements enabler works too. I'm curious what mods are somehow not covered by the aforementioned.

[gusty tiger]

well i do not really understand modding but i think the things like scar n stuff

and bruma and lotdb

[carmine swallow]

Can someone send me the link to animated clutter, mod because I can't find it on bethesda's mod page

No matter how I type it it's not showing up

[latent trench]

So I think it’s gone

I was walking someone through my load order and when we got to that one he could not find it. Probably was removed in protest of Bethesda.

[carmine swallow]

😭NOOo

By chance is there some kind of replacer cuz I don't want all the containers to be static

[latent trench]

I have no idea, it’s possible but you may want to ask in around here or in different skyrim mod groups. I’m more familiar with Fallout mods.

[carmine swallow]

Okay 😔

This honestly sucks first I can't find any body models and textures that I like cuz the one I had is gone now I learned that my animated clutter mod is gone as well

[gusty tiger]

can someone help me find this: appmanifest_388090.acf cuz i cant find it

[amber furnace]

You might want to check this one if you have the space. I'd like to test it but only got 12mb left and using GDB's Elden Beast that already has lots of animations https://creations.bethesda.net/fr/skyrim/details/20487/LW_Addon___Animated_World Some SMIM like Pauly's ARTS2 remix also contain animated clutter. What body and texture were you using ?

[carmine swallow]

Unfortunately I can't remember the body texture mod name but I think it was something like CBBE diamond body skin or something like that but I do remember it was for male and female

[night zinc]

So I have Simple Workaround Framework installed and I wanted to get other mods that require it to use such as Realistic Equipment and Just Shield on Back (i think is the name).

I own Skyrim AE on Xbox Series X but Realistic Equipment that require Simple Workaround for AE verison will not work. Says I dont have the mod required installed. For Shields I cant install any. What do I do to fix this? Its like if doesnt register Simple Workaround is installed.

[amber furnace]

Did you install all your AE content ? Now you need to activate them from the creations menu. It takes 16 mb of your reserved space.

[night zinc]

They seem to active themselves. The creation club items right?

[amber furnace]

Yes. Go to the creations menu, select Options, then select "Install all Creation Club creations I own", then press A.

[night zinc]

Once this is done, will it allow me to download the AE verison for Realistic Equipment and Just shields on back?

[amber furnace]

It should allow you to install all SWF mods related to AE . Or you can install an SE version. If it works, you know you're missing the AE Creation Club stuff. 🤞

[night zinc]

Okay, I will try when I get home. Thank you!

[carmine swallow]

Can someone please help me Download a UI mod now I can't get in the mod page

[carmine swallow]

I have to redownload my entire load order because of one UI mod well that's 2 weeks of work gone into 2 seconds

When anyone has the chance do you think you can make me some UI mods I'm particularly looking for ones that change the loading screen in game

I hope I'll be able to fix my Skyrim backed the away it was before it broke

😭 I hope

[raw bluff]

Loading screen mods weren't effected by the update. Only UI mods and Main Menu replacers.

[brisk yacht]

Yeah, i was gutted when i read it wasnt 😢 was really hoping it wouldve been since starfield is and with Microsoft acquired Bethesda

[raw bluff]

Skyrim was pre-acquisition.

[carmine swallow]

Question are orcs a beast race or a elf race I'm asking cuz I'm trying to figure out what hair mods would work with orcs

[raw bluff]

They are classified as beast I believe.

[carmine swallow]

[carmine swallow]

Are there any UI mods that won't break my Skyrim because my favorite UI mod is not working

[sonic fern]

Yes

[sonic fern]

Yes there are i got a list of them here #1184505392223490149

Thank you for helping me 🙏

[night sleet]

The legacy of the dragon born is that a mod or in the actual game been having trouble figuring it out

[pulsar wing]

It's a mod.

Damn, that’s crazy because somebody is cool looking it should be just in the regular game

[pulsar wing]

No thanks.

Anyone know of a mod for Windhelm that doesn't crash?

In regards to the Redguard Elite Armaments, what's the time delay between me brawling Azadi at Shor's Stone and receiving his letter from the courier.

Anyone know why the new version of USSEP won't install on ps5

[raw bluff]

You'll have to give more information than that. I installed USSEP on my PS5 just a few days ago.
Are you getting an error? Do you have the Okb bug?

[acoustic idol]

It says there's an update but it won't install the update says there's bad data or something

[raw bluff]

Uninstall the old version, then restart the game, install the new version. This is a bug with the current UI.

Hello everyone

[covert oxide]

Anyone know if the Faster HDT-SMP is outdated? My game crashes as soon my slider hit the HDT-SMP hair mods.

Same thing happens when I try this mod

I have no clue on order, so any help is appriciated

[raw bluff]

Where is your FINIS Output?

You also have the regular KS Hairdos overwriting the HDT version. If you want both put the regular one above.
Still will need to run FINIS for Users or it won't work.

[long crow]

Question for those that use AFT(Amazing Follower Tweaks), can you take a follower like, say Lydia, into the Soul Cairn? Or would they have to wait in Valerica's lab?

[covert oxide]

Its under MO2 directory, and it has worked before, but after SKSE got outdated (now updated finally) it stopped working.

[covert oxide]

Guess Faster HDT-SMP is not updated to current version :<

[keen fog]

@terse shard The name of the mod is "Debug Menu".

[keen fog]

There is a beta version. Check the forums section of that mod's page. Someone posted a link to it.

[covert oxide]

Yeah I found it! Thanks! 😄

[zinc valley]

Just a small question. Is there an mod outwhere that fixes that damn annoying architect fail in dragonreach? Lets describe the failure
you enter the dungeon of whiterun from the sideentry. Lets the floor high be zero. You leave the the dungeon on the other door to enter dragonreach. Now in the mainhall you have to climb 16 or 17 steps. Go to the main entrance and you have step down another 16 or 17 steps. So at the maindoor the floorhigh is zero. = Mainentrance and dungeonfloor are on same level for me.
After leaving the maingate turning left and going outside back to the side entrance of the dungeon again, why i have go uphill??? Its like i have to get another 16 or 17 steps to climb to reach the same floorlevel that i already have after leaving dragonreach. Im on xbox, so no way to fix that annoyance by myself.

[raw bluff]

There is apparently a crash fix for it with NPC hairs:
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/91616

[raw bluff]

The prison on the side of the castle? That's down some stairs?

[zinc valley]

Yeah. If you enter dragonreach through the mainentrance, , you go 17 steps up and than another 17 steps down to reach the door to the prison. prison entrance inside dragonreach is at the same high as the floor direct in front if the mainentrance. Inside the prison their are no steps. You leave the prison through the sidedoor and than you walk downhill to get on the same same level of the mainentrance again. Its annoying me since i discovered that nonsence. And you have to visit that damn place so many times if you play for a few months. thats why i had to ask, if there is a mod for xbox available, that fix that

[pulsar herald]

you forgot to ask where the water is coming from

It would be great if someone could make a mod for Xbox with proper fantasy dwarves armor like gimli in lord of the rings

[crude helm]

Just A Simple Alt Start Mod Update.

One of the smallest & Scriptless Alt Start mods.

Start just outside the Helgen Exit Cave, No Armour, items or weapons on your character, see and customise your character properly, very useful if you use body and beauty mods.

A Loot Chest is also provided if you want some armour, weapons, gold, 2 basic spells and potions etc.

Helgen is not destroyed and this was intentional as I plan to turn Helgen into a busy town with shops and a player home.

Does any one know what is going on with this?…… Since Bethesda reorganised the XBox mod menu into ‘Creations’ I have been unable to access my Load Order from the Creations UI banner..pressing “Y” has no response…neither can I “purchase credits” with the “X” button.
I dare not even update mods without LO access.
Oh and mysteriously, Flawed Varla Stones suddenly stopped showing up.
Any one have an idea what is going on…I don’t think I’m the only one either!

[safe vault]

Hey, someone know a opitmization mod or some settings I can change in the ini file to reduce ram usage? I’m getting crashes because ram usage was to high.
(16GB)

[raw bluff]

I swear I saw something that let you use a larger page file with Skyrim. Can't find it now.
Unless your OS or something running in the background is eating up all your memory, you might want to review the mods you have and cut back on anything adding NPCs or mods running cloak spells. This is the kind of stuff that is harder on CPU/memory.

[safe vault]

It’s on Steam deck in gaming mode, so background applications should be turned off

Im Running 182 mods that’s why its using 13 gb ram 99% of the time but if a spike happens it crashes (crash log)

[safe vault]

Can I send you my collection and you tell me what I should take out?

[raw bluff]

Afraid I wouldn't be able to spot the culprits. Much more familiar with Xbox mods. Only recently been dabbling with PC mods and some of the info carries over. Another thing I would suggest for Steam Deck though is making sure any texture mods you have are 1K. Will save you on some memory. If those options are available.

[safe vault]

Ok I also have a stuttering problem I got some script optimiziation mods but idk if it makes it worse because it maybe changes scripts other mods use what cause problems

[raw bluff]

How are you doing your mods on the Deck? Beth.Net or manual install?

[safe vault]

Vortex, it runs perfect no crashes or conflicts ( working for 3 years on it since it’s based on my pc modlist) I’m just fine tuning it.

I just don’t know if the bug fixes mods are working all together

[unborn geyser]

Does anyone know any mods to overhall the dark brotherhood for xbox

[terse shard]

Overhaul in what way?

[unborn geyser]

Outfits and weapons specifically

[raw bluff]

Depends on how the fixes are applied. If you want to check them against each other in xEdit you could. So long as you have a regular PC to do so.

Sorry for my bad english and have a good day. 00:01:51.380 [FATAL] (Wabbajack.Installer.StandardInstaller) Unable to download Data_ccbgssse037-curios.bsa (GameFileSourceDownloader+State|SkyrimSpecialEdition|1.6.1170.0|data\ccbgssse037-curios.bsa)

[rotund beacon]

That may be a computer based issue rather than the mod or game

I am not really good with errors, so I'm just assuming it's a computer based issue based on the error

Nexus has a DM feature, so you can try contacting the mod author from there, unless you are downloading from Bethesda.net

[pastel garnet]

think you i will tri that. Have a good day

Looking for a team of modders who can assist with PS4's first ever new land mod, Snowfall Harbor, I need landscapers, town designers, dungeon designers, navmeshers, scripters, and quest makers.

The mod is possible, as I accounted for everything that needs to be done

[thick fulcrum]

I'd recommend looking for a place that allows you to comission mods.

[rotund beacon]

I am the lead dev, also don't most people develop for PS4 for free?

[thick fulcrum]

It sounds like you want to find a whole team to develop a mod.
That's usually best done via a comission. Cause finding a group of people to work on something for free is gonna be quite a challenge.

Also.
How do you expect this mod to be possible on ps4? From what I remember, you can not add any new things. No new scripts. No new textures.

[rotund beacon]

This mod relies entirely on vanilla, resource pack and cc assets, and there is a whole lot to work with when you add up all those official resources

[thick fulcrum]

But you can't add any new scripts at all.
Curious how you are working around that.

[rotund beacon]

I can't properly explain but given I am able to use what Bethesda already gave us, it's pretty easy to work around it. You should see how much is possible on PS4/5 when you are REALLY pushing what you can do with vanilla, cc and rp only

[thick fulcrum]

So basically. 0 new scripts, just getting by with what exists?

[rotund beacon]

Ye

I don't know how to use scripts myself, that's why I need someone to set up the scripts for me when needed

[terse shard]

Scripts (this is a coding this not talking about dialogue) are not allowed on PS.

[rotund beacon]

I was talking about vanilla scripts
