[sudden fog]

I can't report a bug until I download it...

And I play Xbox lol

Oh well. I'll just deal with it then.

[pulsar wing]

You don't need to have it on PC to download the file.

Nexus doesn't have a mechanism for verifying that you actually used the mod; it only knows if the file was downloaded.

[sudden fog]

So dl it on my phone?

[pulsar wing]

Correct.

[sudden fog]

Just did. I wonder if restored helmets is on xbox...

And bug reported

[sweet lily]

@terse shard I have checked nexus about it but overall nothing pops out that is relative. It probably is just the mod, and it’s unfortunate because theres nobody I can contact that developed it that can give insight.

[elfin copper]

Does anyone know which quest gives the "Join the Imperials" or "Join the Stormcloacks" misc quests in the creation kit?
Because I swear I legit checked every single one and didn't find it.

[terse shard]

You could ask on the nexus mod page.

[craggy turret]

I don't have access to my pc to check, but you might use this uesp quest page, scroll to factions, pick one and look at the join quest pages. Then try searching ck with the quest ID, or other unique info. You may find something that leads you to it.

Follower Dialogue Expansion: Rayya 1.0 is available on Nexus!

"I saw a child riding on her father's shoulders, singing our old folk songs. I heard the winds blowing, along with it the friction of sands... And I finally understood. I will never have my home back."

In this mod, Rayya is expanded as a desert warrior haunted by her past sins and struggling to find redemption. She punishes herself by refusing to be loved. This is almost a Middle Eastern-themed Western in an Elder Scrolls setting.
Rayya has a stoic, contemplative demeanor, where she is often calm and wise. However, when questioned about the Thalmor, the Empire, or her people, her calmness turns into a burning vengeance which she could never shake off. She still struggles between her hatred and her desire for redemption.

Will you help Rayya find redemption and make a home in the lands of Skyrim?

Features:

1. Expands Rayya with 307 lines, all voiced by high quality AI (see the video for reference)
2. Quest awareness for vanilla main quest, DLC main quest, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, Companions, In My Time of Need
3. New story-driven interactions with roleplaying possibility
4. New romantic lines if she is married
5. Approval system
6. Location-awareness, including cities and dungeons
7. Weather awareness
8. Explore Redguard culture
9. Immerse into your game world as a character who lives in it, rather than taking over the show

[craggy turret]

Is there an option to take her back to Whiterun, to watch Braith slap Lars Battleborn around, for a while?

[thorny sky]

Uthgerd has content for Braith

Braith actually got her attitude from Uthgerd because her parents didn't spend enough time with her

[sudden fog]

I wish there was a true lance weapon mod on Skyrim for xbox

Closest I found is the silver spear from PrivateEye's Heavy Weapons

[terse shard]

The animations are the main problem

[sudden fog]

Eh, I'll deal with those. I'm a 1st person pleb, anyway lol

[craggy turret]

I'm hopeful that, one day, someone will harness the power of ai to make custom animations quickly and without need of the "suit." It feels like a better use than what its currently doing.

[sudden fog]

I'm not touching AI lol

[craggy turret]

Me neither, but a lot are. Maybe one will turn toward it eventually.

[sudden fog]

Well see.

Wish animated armory extended to silver weapons

[cinder stone]

what graphics mods from the creation club would yall recommend for the series s

am currently running mythical wonder but it does not seem to have good compatability with other mods

[silver talon]

Is there a way to view .esp names?
As far as my research has gone, fallout 4 has one.
Is there a way to view the names of .esp for mods in your/my LO for Xbox?
I know that there used to be a way to do such a thing without mods on Xbox. You could just go offline, or so ‘could have’.
Ever since the December 2023 update that is no go.

Is there anyway to view the .esp names for mods on Xbox, or is there a mod to do that?

[tight hull]

suit?

[final timber]

Motion capture suit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_capture_suit

[tight hull]

thanks i forgot about that,if aardvark wants to make animations you dont need a suit there are tools to make them

[craggy turret]

I don't know how. I was just thinking maybe ai would make it a quicker/better process one day, and maybe somebody would go hog wild with it.

[cinder stone]

is it nornal for skyrim to crash when loading a modded save if you change the mods

[pulsar wing]

It varies, but usually yes.

[cinder stone]

ffs loaded an interior cell ans it crashed 😅

[craggy turret]

Best thing you can do now is either put the mods back how they were and reload a pre-change save, or leave them as they are and start a new game.

[cinder stone]

thanks for this, turns out it was just one mod that didnt play nice with others and i was clicking the wrong button

[hard granite]

Does anyone know if the bard mod is available on PS4?

[sudden fog]

The bard mod?

[hard granite]

Yes

[sudden fog]

The bard college expansion mod?

[hard granite]

Yes yes

[sudden fog]

It is not

[hard granite]

F okay thanks

[sudden fog]

Xbox and pc only

[hybrid hill]

Hello, I don't know if anyone can answer my question but is it normal that mods for Skyrim on the PS5 CE cause errors because I play without mods, so I would be very grateful for an explanation 😊

[terse shard]

Most mods are well made. Problems usually only arise if you have conflicts or missing patches or overload your vram limits.

[hybrid hill]

Thank you

Anyone got a good recommendation for a quiver relocation mod on xbox?

Thanks, chips of aardvarks!

@craggy turret I should look up some of your mods lol

[cinder stone]

how do you get the chocolate levels mod to work on xbox

as for me it is not working and i dont know why. it could be due to the load order of the mods (can send if needs be) but ive got it enabled and it doesnt work

[craggy turret]

You're welcome Acid. They're gone from nexus, but I reuploaded a few of them to AFK (Arthmoor's site). None of mine were major mods, mostly tweaks, retextures, and a very few mesh mashups. I can show you a lovely little, move in-ready stone tower, nestled cozily and conveniently at the crossroads in front of Whiterun 😄

[sudden fog]

Yeah, show me!

[craggy turret]

Sent you a dm.

[spring holly]

any reccomended randomizer mods?

is chus a good one?

[final timber]

My favorite is Ultimate Deadly Encounters and Spans, by tonycubed2. Among many other things, it does away with vanilla spawn timers and vanilla spawn points, making combat encounters happen almost anywhere in the game world at almost any time. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3093

[spring holly]

addin now

wish there was a mod that randomized dead enemys loot

[cinder stone]

I've become addicted to mods to the extend where i dont use base graphics and to get the game to run at 60 fps ive had to install 3 different performance mods we ball

[spring holly]

what grqphics mod you running?

[spring holly]

none i just like modding

[cinder stone]

oh fair dos its really fun

[craggy turret]

That mod took my lunch money

[young scaffold]

I'm looking for a vampire and werewolf mod that only enhances them without changing anything else in the game like perks, spells etc. I just want a better leveling scale for them and allow them to level my skills. I would also like to get some of their spells for my human form when I unlock their perks, like the vamp lord blood spell, summon gargoyle, vampiric grip or the werewolf power to summon other werewolves. Do you guys know if such mod exist?

[floral forge]

I have a problem. Honningbrew Meadery is closed when it should be open, and Mallus Maccius flags me as an intruder when I break in, even though I completed Dampened Spirits, gaining him as a fence. Updating, deleting, and re-downloading the USSEP didn't help, what do I do? I'm on Xbos Series X, btw

[cinder stone]

what times are you trying to enter?

[misty sage]

Hey fellas, are we ever gonna get more mod space on consoles? The devs said it could be done but it would wipe everyone’s load orders as a result, I’m entirely ok with that as I can just save my LO to their website. The current limitations really just holds us back from making awesome LO’s so I’m hoping they might have mentioned they’d look into it or something?

[sudden fog]

Anyone know a good no helmet mod that works with cc armors? I'm on Xbox

Currently using this, but it only works on vanilla armor

ah

was wondering as you could jave a mod that makes people work 9-5 instead of 8-8 but thats slap bang in the middle of thebday

[floral forge]

It cleared up. I guess I just had to quit and restart from the home menu

[cinder stone]

oooooooh

that sounds about right for Skyrim

[acoustic idol]

I love that one 10mb mod makes it so skyrim has alot less loading screens it feels so seamless now

[cinder stone]

is that on creation club?

[acoustic idol]

It's basically like a playstation version of open citys/interiors no idea how it works but its cool that it does and it somehow doesn't cause lag

[cinder stone]

aaaah ill have a look when i get home

[acoustic idol]

It's also by my experience so far compatibility with most of jks city mods

[cinder stone]

ive just got haze 2 for graphics

Past introduction quest for a mod

you speak very wisely

Simple question: can anyone explain 'exactly' how to install SkyPatcher?

In detail?

[rain oxide]

glad you like it 😎

[ionic stratus]

Anyone know any good killmove mods out there bar Violens?

[craggy turret]

That's the only one I've heard of.

[acoustic idol]

Anyone know where the other body is for Yorgrim hall the ones near the cart don't have any of the items

[brittle blade]

I'm new to PC modding and unfamiliar with community shaders do I still use lux and a weather mod with it?

[brave karma]

Anyone know what could be causing this? I'm almost certain it's something to do with Open Cities/JK's Skyrim AiO/Capital Whiterun Expansion

[terse shard]

Do you have patches for all that?

[brave karma]

All the ones I could find I've tried in multiple variations

[terse shard]

Is there a patch for CWE and open cities? I don’t think there is. And it would def be needed.

[pine crown]

That looks like the LOD engine bug. Have you tried simply saving out, quitting, and then restarting the game?

[brave karma]

If this doesn't work I'll mess around with disabling open cities to see if what Tanis said is right

[pine crown]

I wuldn't expect removing a mod to end well on an existing save.

[brave karma]

Yeah I have a copy of my current

[craggy turret]

Is there a patch for open cities and capital Whiterun?

[terse shard]

Don’t think so

[snow fulcrum]

Anyone else ever used touring carriages?

Is there anyway to prevent it from permanently disabling random encounters?

I know that the mod turns random encounters back on once the ride is over, unfortunately random encounters won’t come back for 10 in game days.

[pine crown]

This may be effectively what you want.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45391

[snow fulcrum]

Is the issue a game engine bug or is there a way it can be fixed?

[craggy turret]

Thank you, Arthmoor. I was asking because of the issue that @brave karma was having, but I didn't realize I wasn't seeing the most recent post.

[terse shard]

It’s not available for Xbox though

[ionic stratus]

Is it wise to use ChatGPT to compile a load order for Skyrim Xbox one based on a guide

[terse shard]

Nope. It does not understand Xbox vs PC at all.

It basically will just give you a most popular list of mods. And some will even conflict and overwrite. And it will not give you any needed patches. Plus some may even require SKSE and such.

[ionic stratus]

[minor hollow]

hello there guys, I'm starting to program and stuff, made a couple mods for some offline games that i play. Does anybody have a link to a "skyrim modding guide" or something? I'd love to customize the game a bit

[pulsar wing]

I'm not sure if there is any one singular comprehensive guide. I think for the most part people just refer to the creation kit wiki and then various youtube video tutorials and other scattered tutorials on websites and forums and such. The official CK wiki is also currently down for maintenance with no ETA on its return, so you'll have to use the backup mirror of the old CK wiki that UESP set up: https://ck.uesp.net/

There are a couple Papyrus scripting tutorials in said wiki as well, but they are very barebones.

[minor hollow]

thx, guess i'll just keep finding out by myself from there, works pretty good too lol

Anyone use Last Seed?

Features:

2. Quest awareness for the College of Winterhold questline, vanilla main quest, DLC main quest
3. Many new story-driven interactions
4. Location-awareness, including cities and dungeons
5. Completely lore-friendly, expanding rather than completely rewriting the character
6. Immerse into your game world as a character who lives in it rather than taking over the show

I keep wanting to make new characters lol. I got two new ideas, make an Argonian that's analogous to Lizardman from Soul Calibur, and a Redguard that uses Blades armor and a Katana, since the race is heavily Japanese culture inspired

[full aurora]

How do I get the cheat chest to show up

[acoustic idol]

I think there's a patch mod or a separate version of jks skyrim that makes/is open city's compatible and CWE compatible usually is for the recent mods on ps anyway

[terse shard]

I don’t see a CWE - OCS patch for Xbox. Also might need a combined patch for JKs , CWE and OCS. Not sure if using individual patches alone would be sufficient.

(The person asking appears to be a Xbox player)

[acoustic idol]

Idk what the moding scenes like on xbox just kinda assume you get the same stuff as us on ps and better external asset using mods for now anyway lol

[terse shard]

Yea I’m surprised PS has it and Xbox doesn’t. I’m pretty sure the reason it never got ported to Xbox was the fair assumption that CWE and OCS combines would be crash city on Xbox one. Might not be a problem on series S/X

[acoustic idol]

Dude the people who mod and port mods on ps are actually wizards on how they get some stuff to work

[terse shard]

Yea somehow the cracked the code on the PS limits. Good news for the community for sure.

[vague relic]

Starfrost in SimonRim.

[lament ravine]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/145166

[final timber]

I do "survival mode" manually (i.e. characters eat, drink, sleep, bathe, avoid map-based fast travel, wear clothes appropriate to the situation they find themselves in (light apparel in warm areas, heavy apparel in cold areas, changing from armor to street clothes in cities), cooking most food before eating it, ect. I also turn off health regeneration and lower carry weight (the exact amount depends on the character). I may apply a few more restrictions, depending on character. I play on default difficulty and use mods to increase combat difficulty. I have never yet experienced any survival mode or mod that felt realistic to me so I handle it myself.

Custom Follower Dialogue Expansion: Violet Cici is released on Nexus!
This gives a blank-slate eyecandy follower new dialogues and personalities.

She is a joyous, adventurous fighter, generally kind and soft, but can sometimes be playful.
While she is a Nord, she also has some Akaviri and Imperial ancestry, hence her unique name.

She is taking a rest in Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood, and you may recruit her after her quick introduction.

She has 100 lines which include location and quest reaction, quick introduction and some location dialogues.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/145357

[silver talon]

Which is probably not good because Sony strictly states that it isn’t allowed.
That goes all the way back to 2016 when the first remaster came out.

[crystal stone]

Not talking about doing anything that breaks the ToS. Just finding creative ways to create the same stuff for PS without using external assets. E.g. I came up with a way to make Night Eye for khajiit into a toggled ability in Subtle Race Overhaul above without using scripts so it works on PS

[silver talon]

@crystal stone I got the sounds to work again. I just deleted records that bugged them up in my custom patch.

But what is special about the future update is that, it would include more features such as literally bugging quest off the bat.

Anyone know of a mod that moves arrows to their own tab in your inventory, instead of them cluttering up the weapons tab?

[left sedge]

Wanted to play skyrim again, tried it - had to eject myself quickly to escape immeasurable pain from the subpar dialog and quests.
Anyone have a modlist to suggest that aims to mend this?
To actually make the civil war matter, improve vanilla quests, improve immersion, faction quests, stuff like that
An added bonus if it improves on other aspects like combat as well

There's so many modlists to choose from, so I'd love if someone could give me some tips

[elfin copper]

There is a bit of everything you want in the mods, the problem is not finding the mods, the problem is making them work together.

Stuff like immersion mods and overhaul mods rarely go together, so your best bet is to give up on some fronts.
OR be a crazy person and self patch everyfreaking mod.

[vague aurora]

This could also be a load order thing. In other words you may have to place some mods above others so they can load in properly.

[elfin copper]

True but load orders can sometimes cut off content from the mods below.

I had a mod overwrite a bandit overhaul mod, and the thing it overwrote was the core part of the mod lol.

[vague aurora]

True. That is when it just becomes a task of figuring out which mods to place where in the load order. That in itself is tedious and time consuming. 😅

[elfin copper]

Skyrim modding is truly a thing you can get a diploma at.

[pulsar wing]

scholarships when

[heady pagoda]

modding gets stupid at times bc wdym I can't enable a mod due to not owning a random cc mod no one uses

oh the issue was downloading all cc doesn't install umbra what LOL

[pulsar wing]

a random cc mod no one uses
Try to remember that you can only speak for yourself when it comes to something subjective/preferential like that. What you think nobody uses may in fact be used by quite a lot of people; they just don't necessarily have the time, reason, or opportunity to stop whatever they're doing to tell you about it.

[heady pagoda]

ok

anyway this time it was bittercup I'm going insane lol

[heady pagoda]

beauty of skyrim adds the most vanilla snow elves I've seen

[left sedge]

Well yeah, thats why I'm hoping someone would've made a modlist with this in mind, that someone could point me to.

There's so many to choose from on Wabbajack, and these authors arent always that good at declaring the intent of their lists 😒

Thanks for the reply btw

[elfin copper]

I'd rather suggest making your own modlist, I know it can be painfull and time consuming but that is the only way to get a skyrim that is morphed to your needs.

Most modlists have either 3-4 mods that break their whole idea, purely because those mods are popular.

And you can't even just disable them without something breaking in the modlist, truly a pain.

Also on the visual side, If you have a good enough computer to run ENB get it, and do not use any other visual enhancements mods with the ENB, ENB alone can be customized into oblivion, and trust me it feels so freaking good when you get the ENB settings just right to your needs.

otherwise if you don't want to use ENB, community shaders mods are pretty good.

[quiet schooner]

[loud cargo]

Ever since the NPC enhancer gun mod came out for starfield on Xbox I always thought it would be great if someone would make a mod for Skyrim that would do the same thing for on Xbox.

It would be great if players could have a ring or spell that they could use on npcs or followers to change their hair color, race, make them thicker or thinner, change their eye color and more.

There has been many times when I would create a load order I would base it on certain race such as a Breton then I would have to go through all the mods to find Breton followers and most times they would always be given every magic ability when my character is an archer.

With such a mod a player could change any non-magic user npc into Breton or any other race to fit their character and if they wanted to make them a follower if they were an npc they could just use a follower spell like the ATF make follower spell.

[native summit]

I made a simple mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/142818 , which uses MiscItem OnEquipped event to use items.

At first, I let all items share the same script, and found that sometimes when item A is used, the data obtained in the property is item B. I thought it was because of the use of the same script, so I created a script for each item.

Then I found that this problem still occurs. I let each script file output its own name in OnEquipped, and found that sometimes the script called when item A is used is script of item B. I can no longer understand why this happens.

In the end, I can only check the player's inventory in the script. No matter which one is called, if the item is insufficient, tell the player to try to discard the item and pick it up again. I feel that my MOD is a complete failure.

The mod includes the source code, The mod is created via xEdit. The items of the mod are put into some containers through levellist. Then some items obtained from the container have problems when used.
The items I manually added through console player.additem are all correct.

Hope to get some help, thanks

[magic rock]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but hoping either it is or I can be pointed in a more reasonable direction - I'm working on a mod right now and I need to have some modeling done. I'm very bad with modeling and was hoping maybe someone else would be interested in creating a custom perk dome nif for my mod. (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/145617 mod for reference in case anyone is interested)

[tight hull]

what is a custom perk dome

[craggy turret]

My guess is a dome spell effect, to give the appearance of a defensive area ward, or Shield spell of some type.

If I recall correctly there was something similar in Chesko's campfire mod, where you could summon the common or Noble bed and furniture, inside of a little magic Dome

Or maybe it was frostfall. It has been quite a while, since I have been able to play.

[magic rock]

Not what the other user was suggesting, there's a mesh file that is used to display perk trees like the vanilla skill menu and also the vampire and warewolf ones. In order to change things like the graphic displayed before you zoom in, you need to edit the mesh file.

[deep harbor]

Question: Does the SE creation kit work on the original skyrim version?

or does it only work on the SE version of skyrim? I bought the original game back in the day, and dont see any reason to buy the game again. But i dont know if the SE creation kit will work on the original game

ah, nevermind. the original one was already in my steam library. I was looking for 'The Elder Scrolls' rather then 'Skyrim'.

[boreal dawn]

I wonder if Bethesda will do a Switch 2 version of Skyrim with Creation support. Could be cool.

[craggy glacier]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/133366 Modder gives port permission. He has dlc 1 and 2 covered along with vanilla. 1k Architecture, dungeons and artifacts would be nice. Armor and weapons have been ported already.

[tulip kelp]

Anyone on here on the Nolvus discord? I click on their invite and it sends me to whatever chat that I’m in.

[pine crown]

This is the official BGS Discord. Not sure why another server would send people here with their invite.

[proper parrot]

Anyone know of any good Xbox controller mods for Skyrim? I tried Kontrol but it counters my preference for remapping sprint to LS. Their “shift” key for additional hotkeys is LB and that’s usually my change perspective button so when I use it, I’m constantly switching from FPP to TPP and back.

[pulsar wing]

When I still had a controller I tended to use a third-party program called Joy2Key which lets you map buttons to keyboard inputs.

[proper parrot]

Well. I’m on Xbox the console.

[pulsar wing]

Oh.

[tulip kelp]

No idea, however when I did it again on my phone it went where it was supposed to.

[nova birch]

Yeah could never find that chest

[blazing stratus]

It's in Riverwood under the bridge. I'm not sure why a lot of people can't find it.
If you look at the banner on the mod, the mage is staring directly at it

@nova birch

[nova birch]

I found it now. It's so small and blends in. I appreciate it man.

[blazing stratus]

Ok cool. How you like it? My favorite spell is StormHawk

[nova birch]

I love it. I haven't finished trying everything yet. The movement speed is a godsend

[blazing stratus]

Ah, with the Lucky Coin?
One of the main effects is "all magic x5"
And it works exactly like the Necromage build, but you do not need to be a vampire.
Any spell you cast/potion you drink/enchantment you wear is x5 meaning amulet of Talos gives infinite shout

[nova birch]

It's amazing. After playing thousands of hours, the help Is much appreciated

[sudden fog]

Thanks for adding a smelter to SouthPine Forge, The Stupid Dunmer!

[graceful belfry]

Does anyone have a big monster mod that'll add monsters like cyclops and minotaurs like how there is in dragons dogma 2

[craggy glacier]

You won't get the attacks from minotaurs like Dogma 2. Mihail has Minotaurs.

[lime barn]

Anyone know how to find the key codes since the site is down?

[honest python]

https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Input_Script

[craggy turret]

I don't know about Cyclops, but I believe Beyond Skyrim: Bruma has Minotaurs

[lime barn]

Appreciate it!

[graceful belfry]

Hey can someone help with Skyrim script extender

Everytime I try to open through it says failed to open address library file

[craggy turret]

I'd double check your SKSE version vs the game version. I remember seeing people with that issue but I don't remember the fix. I believe I was on the steam forums when I saw it. There are some heavy duty pinned threads at the top, which should be searchable with ctrl +F

[bright mica]

@tranquil sparrow I was wondering how long does the effects of the doomstone last and can I wait them out or is there a way to force the effect off my character because the ritual stone effect i receive from a mod i have is annoying and Im curious if I need to backtrack before I accepted the stones power or just hope it runs out soon because it lasted me entire falskaar playthrough so it feel like its never ending haha

[craggy turret]

They stay until changed. Go visit a different stone.

[bright mica]

But that stone give you all the stones effects so going to any of the normal stones just tell you that you already have this stone

[hollow dirge]

Hey everybody, MysticMadman here, author of the Verified Creations: QSO (Quantum Stealth Operations) Safehouse for Starfield, and Hlaalu Treasures: Seize Your Fortune for Skyrim.

I wanted to let you guys know I've got an exciting new Verified Creation for Skyrim due to come out (hopefully) any day now, for all consoles! Here's a sneak peak of what's to come. ⚔️

Thank you for your time. 🙏🏻

[tranquil sparrow]

It lasts for around 8 hours real time I think. If I recall correctly you can visit another vanilla stone and interact with it to remove all other effects and just get that one.

I would check on that if I were you, if not I’ll have to patch in a way to remove it without waiting because I can see how it would be cumbersome.

[bright mica]

Not sure if it has something to do with Andromeda stones I have that mod but when I try to go to one of the normal stones it tells me I already have that stone and to select another to change

[bright mica]

Yeah a patch that allows it to be removed prematurely would be a life saver, I have a save before gaining the powers but its also before I started and finished falskaar so I'd prefer not going that far back😅 if something like that is possible it would be insanely appreciated 🙏

[dark nova]

You’ve got my Skyrim money

[blazing stratus]

New mods out now

[devout valve]

Looks like I missed this message.
That likely means the issue you're having is preventing the quest from starting entirely, possibly due to an alias failing to fill, and/or an issue in a previous quest in the same quest line.
Did you have any issues in the quest "The Temple of Miraak"?

[ornate gorge]

Hey! Thanks for the albiet late response, but i ended up fixing it by going and leaening the bend will shout, shouting at the mind stone, and then going back and using the ring to fully complete the quest

[devout valve]

Ah, nice. Glad to hear it.

[bold birch]

Hi, I'm looking for some help, I wish to make mods for Skyrim, but i'm having trouble finding an alternative to the Creation Kit Wiki. Does anyone know where I can find important CK info? As if I was new to making mods? (I'm not actually new to modding, I just need documentations.)

Can someone recommend me a combat overhaul animation mod that isn't bfco or edlen rim bfco

[latent violet]

Could you check over your spelling a little bit. Thank you.

[craggy glacier]

What does your mod do? Pictures show floating swords.

[hollow dirge]

You'll have to wait until release to see 😎 but hopefully not much longer. However, yes there will be "floating sword summons" of unique varieties!

[craggy glacier]

Thanks I will keep look out. Love the seize fortunes mod. Be great to replace dark elf furniture.

[hollow dirge]

You bet! Thank you for the suggestion. I've been thinking about the next big update for "Seize Your Fortune", and yes I am planning to overhaul the furniture in the Windhelm Gray Quarter at the very least. There's a chance I could overhaul Solstheim furniture as well. Is that something you'd like to see?

Here's something I am working very hard on as well, that I am also using some of these assets to create (and many many more which have never been seen before).

I don't mind sharing a little teaser... Stay tuned for Isle of Hla'ruhn, a mysterious Hlaalu owned and operated island town in the Sea of Ghosts. I'm planning a whole town with 20+ buildings with interiors and at least 40+ NPCs, with many quests and immersive interactions across the island. Fully voiced with unique personalities. This release is still a while off, but I'm thinking you guys may be interested in what I'm getting up to, nonetheless. 👀

We're currently busy working on architecture and new armor sets, as you can see. The architecture pieces shown in the screenshot are all fully modular, which means we'll be able to make some AMAZING locations for you guys to explore. Stay tuned!!!

[craggy turret]

@deep harbor RE: foxes - it might be worthwhile to create a fix-rich zone in your mod. Duplicate an existing fox, make sure it can respawn and drop a pelt on death. (May need to create one, not sure. Give it a simple package to wander x distance from a marker, then sprinkle a bunch of them around. Maybe leave a journal or note somewhere, on a skeleton with its leg in a trap maybe, about the best places to fox hunt.

[deep harbor]

That's too complicated for my level of knowledge

I only know how to edit armors and recipes. Although, i tried to change that recipe (from fox pelts to deer pelts), and the game kept crashing as soon as i tried to load my game. But as soon as i put the recipe back to fox pelts, the game worked fine.

[hot elk]

Does anyone know how to change ur block bind in nolvus Skyrim? So like when u have a spell in one hand and a one handed weapon in the other u click the B key to block/parry. Say I wanted to change that function to the F key. How would I do so?

[maiden osprey]

Does anyone have any recommended/mandatory mods for PS5? I'm losing my mind with all these new mods and stuff, and there are so many load order guides out now that I have no idea what to follow. I was using a post I found on Reddit from people porting PC mods to PS5 that seemed rather updated, but I've seen a few, and they're all different. I know there isn't a set-in-stone Load Order, but there's gotta be some type of baseline, right?

[dark nova]

Any update on when this will be added or am I just not seeing it?

[hollow dirge]

It's currently in the queue, but thank you for checking in! I'll be sure to tag you when it's out.

[silver talon]

Hey.
So, I'm adding more to my personal patch.
It now involves LeanWolf's BSWs and Skyforge Steel weapons, namely the battle axe.
Only problem is that it doesn't make the Skyforge battle axe mesh ovewrite it's original, it just rather be using the BSW version.
Even with the paths being directed 'correctly' in the esp.
Help, please?

[craggy turret]

Look down at the 1st person model. (Follow the file path through windows explorer) See if it leads to the same thing, or if it's still going to Leanwolf's version. You may need to add a 1st person model to the folder and point the CK at it, as well. If it didn't come with one, you should be ok duplicating the model and just renaming it to add 1stP to the file name, then duplicate the one in CK, rename it and point it to your new 1stP model.

[odd kiln]

anyone know how to rebind tkdodge hotkey?

[odd kiln]

another question, how do i get mod combat movesets to work

[pulsar wing]

That info is on that mod's description page.

[odd kiln]

oka thank you

bigger Problem, using mco distar and i wanna use the for honour combos, downloaded them did everyhting but nuthing

@pulsar wing

[pulsar wing]

I don't use either mod so I wouldn't know. When in doubt, check their mod description pages and comments sections for info, and then maybe try contacting the author or someone else who is more knowledgeable of said mods.

[odd kiln]

okay thaks

[coarse helm]

I dont know if anyone can help me but I am trying to update some form 43 plugins into form 44 plugins with creation kit. However, when I try to load into creation kit with the mods and select them as active files they are not there. I have considered the fact that creation kits app id is wrong and tried to open up mod executables but I have a Schrödinger's cat scenario going on where I can find the file in my mods folder but when I try to add executables from files and paste the address it says windows can't find it. I really have no clue what is wrong and would appreciate if someone could help.

I forgot to mention I am using mod organizer

[vast osprey]

So weird space issue.
Cleared reserve space because I thought I was having a ghost space issue. So we can rule that out immediately. Cleared, hard reset etc. The whole package. Went through and was redownloading all my mods one at a time.

Now we get to the weird issue. I was trying to download the Divergence Vanilla+CC AIO 1k-512. Says it's file size is 603mb. I had 800+ free space. So I went checking and some other mods roughly around 600 would install but Divergence kept giving the space error. So I deleted something around 40mb and still the AIO wouldn't install but I decided to try installing them separately. The Vanilla AIO and then the CC AIO. Mind you, separately they actually add up to more space.... it worked. Then went and easily re-installed the 40mb mod I deleted before. Seems I did have enough space?
Then I noticed there was an Anniversary Edition of Divergence. So I deleted the Vanilla and tried to swap it for the Anniversary Edition. No dice. Said it was too big, no space etc. Went and deleted the 40mb mod again, and still no go. So I deleted Divergence CC and something else. Installed Divergence Anniversary... then installed the Divergence CC and it all went smooth and I was able to still re-download my 40mb mod from before and the other mod I had just deleted. So to test my remaining space I also grabbed another mod that was 108mb.

So tldr. It won't let me install an AIO that's 603mb saying I don't have enough space, but will let me install the same thing but as two separate bundles coming in at 649mb and another mod that's 108mb for a total of like 757ish 🤔 Anyone got any clue why this happened?

[covert rover]

I don't know if this is something that happens in Skyrim, but it is a general computer thing, so maybe. When you are installing something, there is a certain amount that exists in memory during the installation process. Anything that is too large for RAM or designated as not necessary for RAM speed gets dumped into "virtual memory", essentially disk space that acts like slow RAM for that installation. When trying to install the entire 603mb file, there was not enough virtual memory space to complete the install (because remember that your files still exist on the disk in their original location until the install is complete). However, when you tried separately, there was enough virtual memory space for the individual components to complete their installations. Even though it takes up more space now, the space required for the installation process was less, and that's why you could do it the way you did.

[terse shard]

It will do that if you don’t have double the space available for the mod you are downloading.

There is a workaround though

[sudden fog]

Is there a way on xbox to clear out unused mod files that linger after the mod is deleted?

[terse shard]

Do you mean clear the cache? That is done when you hard reset.

Or maybe you need to clear reserve space. (That also wipes your current LO)

[sudden fog]

Well, I do save my current LO to Bnet

I saved my LO, lemme delete all creations to see if the reserve has any residual files

Yep! There is a residual 1.25GB used

[terse shard]

I would not recommend using that feature. It’s mostly broken.

[sudden fog]

I haven't had any problems with it

[terse shard]

Just need to rebuild your LO after clearing reserve space.

That’s good news. First person I’ve met that had success. Depends too much on recent upload dates of mods and total number used.

[sudden fog]

Ok, so i cleared my LO, how do I get rid of this reserve?

Unless the 1.27gb is creation club content?

Or would that not show up in reserve?

Would deleting the game and redoanloading it fix it?

I'm going to try that, I'm in no rush to play skyrim today lol

Yeah, I'm redownkoading skyrim as we speak. I'm sure that'll do it

[terse shard]

DELETING SAVED DATA/CLEARING RESERVE SPACE:

1. Bookmark all the mods in your LO you want to re-use
2. Press the Xbox button
3. Select My games & apps
4. Highlight Games
5. Highlight Skyrim SE
6. Press Menu button to open the More options menu
7. Select Manage game & add-ons
8. Highlight Saved data
9. Select User profile
10. Select Delete everywhere, repeat until data is cleared
11. Select Reserve space
12. Select Clear reserved space
13. Perform a HARD RESET
14. Download mods (they'll be in bookmarks if you did step 1)
15. Ensure mods are in the correct order
16. Exit mod menu
17. Quit game
18. Perform a HARD RESET
    .

[terse shard]

Should never really need to delete the game. Doing the above takes care of everything.

[sudden fog]

Oh, well i did do that anyway lol

[terse shard]

Deleting the game works too though. Just takes longer.

[sudden fog]

I'm in no rush. I'm patient 🙂

I'll keep your instructions for future refrence

[sudden fog]

I appreciate the assistance, dude

[hot elk]

[violet hare]

thanks

[abstract ledge]

hey, i just got the creation, but Maxima does not have anything in her "what do you have for sale", do i need to do her quest in order to unlock all the summoned sword?
Also, do they last 8h in real time or ingame time? And is there a way to dismiss the swords?
Thank you!

Also, i can summon only one sword at a time, or several, and is it affected by the atronach trait (to summon up to 2 of them)?

[hollow dirge]

Hey there! Good question. I believe Maxima only sells the swords when she is at the Atronach Standing Stone. It's in the mod description but perhaps I'll make it more noticeable. 🙂 they should also last 8 hours in real life time, although Maxima's summon lasts 60 seconds.

Thank you so much for getting the mod, it helps me pay the bills and keep my lights on.

I'm not actually sure if banish works on them or if you can summon two of them, but I'll certainly get that going for the first update!!!

[abstract ledge]

ok just in case other people wonder, i could buy from her, as long as she did not follow me, also, for the swords, i'm not sure if it works as an atronach, but i tested with the "skytrait" creation and i could summon two of them with the "dark art" trait (summon one more creature but it lasts 50% less)

[abstract ledge]

i also noticed that they still are active after fast traveling but they don't fast travel directly in cities and only re appear when going outside the city. (instanced cities)
They also don't follow if entering in a city using the gate, so maybe they don't go in instances (which could be a problem for dungeons, etc...)

I just tested, they also don't go through buildings, caves, etc.. and if summoned inside they'll wait in it.

[hollow dirge]

Thank you for the heads up. I'll look into these things myself and will get er going for the next update. 🙏🏻 I already have some ideas bouncing around my head.

[silver talon]

There is the one quest in Dragon Bridge that involves helping a fed up wife find and secure the husbands mead stash. A quest in which I’m trying to do.

It’s a misc quest. Thing is, the quest WILL NOT start. I’ve tried using BOTH quest debugger AND debug menu. Neither helped, even when following guides properly.

I even tried the methods that other people (of Reddit mostly) have used before, the quest just isn’t starting.
Can someone help figure this out, please?

user-created creations or bgs created creations? Also what type of character build?

Creation club doesn't exist so the request is very vague and confusing.

[neon orchid]

what is your favorite skyrim overhaul mod?

[solid tusk]

If someone feels like helping me with a Playstation mod load order, please dm.

The release of oblivion remake has got me wanting to play elder scrolls again, but I'm not buying oblivion, from what I've seen and read, they didn't update the combat to today's standards, or even skyrim standards, I tried getting on skyrim a few months ago but the dated combat got boring quick. I need mod suggestions to make skyrims combat feel more in line with today's games combat mechanics.

[abstract ledge]

i did read that but i don't find the outpost with all the npc's.
the only thing said here is that there is a mailbox in front of the whiterun house with a letter explaining how to start the quest but there is actually no mailbox in game there.

so, i was asking if someone here actually knows where to go, i hope the creator will help but i had no news from them.

there is really no indication about what to do, where to go, so if anyone knows i'd appreciate it

[abstract ledge]

@ebon stag since you created this mod maybe you could give me a hint, please ?
would be a great help.
thank you!

[craggy turret]

Not a mod In familiar with, but is it activated? If it's been installed but not activated, nothing will show up yet.

[spiral sage]

Is there anyone here that's experienced in working with skse that can answer a few questions for me?

[abstract ledge]

it is, i met a random npc in solitude belonging to this mod, Whispers, but the npc can just follow me, no other indication about where to find the outpost.

I would find it surprising that no one else here used this creation, also i did tag the creator but no answer yet, and nothing on google/youtube, maybe the creation is new so no one really made a review about it yet.

[wispy prawn]

hey guys do you guys know where I can find a list of all the key numbers so I can change it in a .ini file?

found it

[craggy turret]

Try typing outpost into the console, see if it gives you an interior cell, then you can at least coc to it.

[abstract ledge]

i typed "albion" or even stuff related to the creation

"not found", nothing is found, i start to wonder if the creation really exists sometimes but for 800 credits i hope so, i'm surprised literally NO ONE made a review or talked about it on reddit or anywhere.

this creation: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/fdbd6769-1340-40c2-a0a3-8a65f36da629/Albion_Armor___Outpost_Edition

if only there was a little hint somewhere to say how to start the quest or start the creation, etc, but there is no indication at all, no ingame quest started, no ingame courrier, nothing.

[craggy turret]

Hmm. I was able to find a reddit post where they mention a journal in The Whispers inventory. But, this is probably the point where I would open up the mod in either X edit or creation kit, and start looking at coordinates, and slash or using it to determine cell or item names.

[solid tusk]

Anyone got any Playstation mod suggestions for survival... combat overhaul , perk overhaul, magic overhaul.

[craggy turret]

My only suggestion would be to sell it, and put the proceeds toward a PC.

[abstract ledge]

i find the npc named whispers randomly while roaming around, found her journal, it just says hints to find the "black armor" but still nothing about everything else in the mod, like the outpost, player home, etc... I'd like some feedback from the mod author, but i still have no answers, just tagged him on discord but he might be busy or something. I'm at the point where i might reach Bethesda support for a refund

[solid tusk]

That's a huge help, thanks for contributing...

[neon orchid]

anybody have a fix for MCM recorder not working? recordings don't show up in the MCM menu

[craggy turret]

Glad to hear it. You're welcome.

[craggy turret]

Is anything in data/mcmrecorder ?

[neon orchid]

yes, there are a couple recordings but they don't show up in mcm menu

i managed to get this working once by reintalling papyrusutil but after that no success

even after reinstalling the mod, and all requirements

[craggy turret]

You may have already seen this, but just in case, here is the FAQ from the mods main page. Do you by chance use mo2?

The only other thing that I could suggest, would be to go into the post and Bug sections on this page, and see if anyone has had this issue before, and how they took care of it.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/61719

[neon orchid]

using vortex, how does it matter?
didn't find anything useful in faq section and i read through some of the posts already

is there an alternative to this mod?

[craggy turret]

I'm not sure. In the faq, it mentioned an override folder for mo2. I didn't know if that may account for your recordings not showing up in the mcm, if it was looking for a different folder. Just grasping at straws, on my part, there.

[neon orchid]

i am on LE version of the game btw

[craggy turret]

Ohhhh.

[neon orchid]

hmm, perhaps something similar is in vortex, i can check it out

no, Vortex doesn't keep anything wortwhile in its folders

[craggy turret]

I didn't realize you were on Le. Here is the Le mods page, set to look at the postings. It looks like a bunch of people have the same issue, but I don't see any mention of a fix yet. I am not in any kind of a position to help with troubleshooting on script mods, but as a wild guess, I wonder if this was created for special edition and then manipulated to work for Le. If so, is it possible that some facet of the mod did not get changed to Le, and is looking for a special edition folder or something to put recordings into? Like if the author converted nine of 10 files but missed the 10th, for example.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/111370?tab=posts

Please bear with the weird format. Using talk to text.

[neon orchid]

thanks for the link but i already looked it up, realize that this likely doesn't work anymore but i somehow got it working once so was hoping that there might be a trick to it, i guess that would be too good to be true
it's likely as you said or the LE version didn't receive updates for a long time

anyone who tried both frostfall and survival can compare these two

[solid zinc]

Here me out .... a extension mod to the dawnguard questline where you request meridia to help you on your quest to kill harkon and so you have to do a few quest to prove yourself worthy and actually spreading her name. In return you get a set of armor based off the same design as dawnbreaker and a blessing to fight harkon with. Something like this. Thoughts??

[abstract ledge]

question: who uses vampire extended framework?
I'm curious about all the new features vampires have (turn into bats in combat, etc), is it only for ennemies or also for the player when they are a vampire?
thank you!

[abstract ledge]

looks cool, i'm sure it would work, that would be a must have for dawnguard/paladin players

[neon orchid]

guys know a mod that stops guards from commenting about my skills?

[jolly moth]

Hey guys! Can anybody lend me a hand? I'm struggling with saving my W.I.P mod. Whenever I give it a name and try to save it in basically any folder it tells me "Invalid Directory." Any advice or does anybody have a tutorial of saving the mod?

Oh wait, nevermind, I've found the source of my issues!

[craggy turret]

At once, every undead creature in the chamber winced, some groaning pitifully while others fled in raw terror. The Champion of Meridia strode, unheralded, into the chamber.

Wielding the legendary sword, "Dawnbreaker" and clad in a terrifically resplendent armor called "The Whole Rest of the Day," for expediency, The Champion brought the imminent promise of fiery destruction to the reeling undead. A searing white light scoured the decaying eyes of all who looked upon it, destroying the necromantic magic which had given the dead a predator's vision, leaving them helpless as Dawnbreaker rended leathery flesh and crushed brittle bone.

In but a moment, it was done. For the first time in a thousand years, the Dread Temple was still, free at last of the tyrannical horror of the risen dead.

[sudden fog]

Your name for the armor killed me, holy crap

[sudden fog]

Sweet armor concept!

[craggy turret]

@neon orchid https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/66126

I believe this was in steam workshop as well, for LE.

[neon orchid]

thanks a lot, will add it
what would also help would be if merchants wouldn't try to fight vampires but run instead, cause they might still die if they go full suicidal mode

i don't feel like messing in the fights as there's high chance of hitting npcs during the fight but this time my lvl 10 char was pretty outmatched even when trying to meddle

[pulsar wing]

iirc Arthmoor has a mod called "Run For Your Lives" for that.

@neon orchid here: https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/files/file/1918-run-for-your-lives/

[neon orchid]

see translations only on nexus, oh i see all the mods are on afkmods

[pulsar wing]

Another mod I'd recommend if you don't have it that's also on afkmods is "Gildergreen Regrown".

[neon orchid]

why is that?

[pulsar wing]

It makes it so that the Gildergreen in whiterun can be restored regardless of the path you pick in the relevant quest. If you bring back the seedling instead of the sap it'll actually plant the seeding and over the course of 6 in-game months the tree automatically grows into larger and larger forms until it returns to the normal size and appearance of the gildergreen and is thus restored.

It's one of the things that bothered me a lot in the vanilla game because without it if you chose the seedling you'd just be stuck with a seedling the rest of the game that never grows.

[neon orchid]

i didn't even realize that there are more paths in the quest, i go to kill hagravens and then take the sap with nettlebane

[pulsar wing]

Yeah. You're supposed to encounter a monk who stops you and implores to let you find a more peaceful way to restore the tree as the nettlebane knife will actually injure/poison the larger tree.

If you opt to help him, it takes you along the different route.

[neon orchid]

where am i supposed to meet this monk? is it a random encounter?

[pulsar wing]

If I remember right, he tries to run up to you after you leave the temple of kynareth in whiterun, but it's possible to leave the city before he reaches you I think and thus you can end up missing him there. I want to say I think he can also appear and approach you near the cave, but I vaguely recall that may simply be that he tries to travel from whiterun to there to catch up to you and is vulnerable to dying along the way since he's not particularly strong on his own.

When you opt to help you basically need to escort him so that he arrives safely iirc.

It's been a lot of years since I last did that quest so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

[neon orchid]

there is an npc right in the temple of kynareth that wants an escort, which happens after bringing nettlebane to the priestess, from the dialogue it wasn't clear to me that they want to take a different path at all, and when i took them to the tree there was no dialogue/event

don't do the quest very often though, last time the guy died on the route and time before that he died to the spriggans after taking the sap from the tree with nettlebane

[pulsar wing]

Hmm. You might've encountered a bug, perhaps. Have you installed USSEP as well?

[neon orchid]

yes i have it installed
a bug in skyrim? can't be

[pulsar wing]

ikr

[neon orchid]

using legendary edition btw

[pulsar wing]

err, why?

SE is way more stable and has more and better mods these days.

[neon orchid]

better performance
didn't encounter stability problems in the base game and it's true about mods

why do you say that it has better stability?

[pulsar wing]

sorry was afk to grab some food. basically, it just is. it's a more developed and improved iteration of the game's engine. it has better memory range (64bit instead of 32bit), can handle more mods with much less difficulty, has the ESL plugin system, crashes far less, can handle a lot more simultaneous entities in the game world (you could drop thousands of items into the world in SE, whereas if you try in LE it chokes and dies, etc), and so on.

i'm probably forgetting a number of other improvements.

[proper saddle]

have any of you played NVGO?

[pulsar wing]

doesn't ring a bell.

[craggy turret]

Bear with me on this, because it has been a while, but if I remember correctly you can take whatever route you like, or fast travel, to the cave. He'll follow you through and when you hit the branch with the dagger to clear it out of the path he'll make a comment about how barbaric you are. Once you approach the tree, give him a minute or two to catch up to you, and he should make some statements that will allow you to prompt him to give you a better plan. When you do that, he should pray to the tree, and a sapling should appear.

[torpid hamlet]

@karmic path I'm new-ish to the whole discord thing, and don't really use it much, so I'm not sure if this is where I ask you about some of your mods and discuss possible update items/issues for them with you. Is this the right place? If not, can you point me to the correct location?

[dark nova]

Is there a Skyrim mod that adds oblivion gates as dungeons or like ayleid ruins as dungeons. Besides the Cause creation club quest

[sacred void]

my Abyss mod features an Ayleid ruin and my more recent Birthday to Remember one has one too. There's also Sirenroot which is set in a large Ayleid ruin and is worth trying if you haven't. I can't think of any that add Oblivion gates like the Cause off the top of my head but I'd be more surprised if there isn't something out there

[dark nova]

If not then just have to wait for the skyblivion mod

[craggy turret]

It's been a while but look at afkmods.com for Oblivion
Gates in Cities by Arthmoor.

[dark nova]

Yeah I have that downloaded. It’s great I just am after something where the gates are functional. Arthmoor is 10/10

[sacred void]

I kept looking for ones with functional gates and found a mod called the Oblivion Realms Serie 1 and 2. There's also Warden of the Coast but both don't seem to be anywhere aside from Nexus so no good for console people. I haven't tried either but both have active Oblivion gates in the pictures

[dark nova]

I’ll have to try them out on PC then. Thank you

[neon orchid]

if i wanted a requiem experience light, what mods would you recommend me?

stamina problems early game and generally deleveled world which makes early game quite a slog is making it annoying starting a new character but i like the changes it does otherwise

[terse shard]

Yash2

[abstract ledge]

question about vampire extension framework: if i use the hardcore version with vampires attacking towns at night, will they attack me if i'm also a vampire?
thank you

[neon orchid]

anybody knows how to make skyui remember sorting options in various menus like for example bartering one?
want to have equipped items first but sometimes i want to sort items by enchanted and have skyui remember it, instead of having to set it each time i open barter menu

[neon orchid]

i don't see it being any different to requiem in this regard, even worse actually

[rugged compass]

Thinking about transitioning into PC modding, anything I should know about using Nexus to mod Skyrim?

[dark nova]

Higher download speeds require paying? Idk hahaha

[craggy turret]

Nexus is pretty straight forward. Some of the mood hold multiple versions in one download.

Strongly suggest you research and choose a preferred mod manager. There's vortex, mod organizer 2, and I believe Wrye Bash has that function. You can mod manually but it makes the data folder messy.

Get LOOT, xedit, and Wrye Bash. Between them, you can get a more stable load order, be reminded if missing dependencies, create merged and bashed patches, even edit and create mods, though some still need to be done in creation kit, and wrye bash allows for a bunch of very nice tweaks to be added to your bashed patch, like number of training sessions per level, number of summons at one time, etc.

You should be able to find a lot of installation/use tutorials for the various tools, between gamerpoets and gopher, on YouTube, and there are dedicated discords for loot and xedit.

Hey comfortable with all these, and you merge/change/reorder to your heart's content, to make your mods do exactly what you want.

Bear in mind it has been a while for me, and things may have changed some. Also probably want to read the pinned posts on the steam page, as some very experienced modders have created super resources for modding the game.

[rugged compass]

Ty for the advice

[blissful glen]

Is Xtudo in here?

I wanna say that I absolutely adore all your unisex armor mods and they are some of the best work to grace Skyrim!

[hidden hinge]

So quick question for the mod collection "Gate to Sovngarde", say that after 100% downloading everything and wanting to remove certain mods and possibly replace them with something of my personal preference. How do I go about in doing that, and do I need to do something specific with specific mods that are deemed "crucial" for the collection such as additional follower mods?

[wind void]

I recommend youre to download 🙂
I worked a lot on it, I think it should be in the trends

@pulsar wing it is, that mod.

[pulsar wing]

?

[wind void]

Do you remember me

[pulsar wing]

I had to jog my memory with the chat history. Congrats on the mod.

Does anyone know if @TheShadyBuynny is still around and updating his mods?

[naive pine]

Which mods have more of a main quest like to it for Skyrim V 1.5.97? And which is best Helgen mod that adds new content to it after Unbound quest?

[sterile cobalt]

the east empire expansion is pretty cool. pretty much the quality i except from kinggath

[naive pine]

I haven't used this one mod yet cause idk how compatible it is with other mods but about Skyrim Engine Fixes, is it worth using tbh? My game runs fine without it.

But I do wonder if I don't need to use the flashing save game fix mod if I use it.

[round jacinth]

hey guys, looking for a Skyrim Xbox mod recommendation

SPECIFICALLY something i can do at the end of each of my character playthroughs as a symbolic retirement of that character. Like fighting a boss, or going to a cool location

[pulsar wing]

SSE Engine Fixes is one of the most important mods to have.

[naive pine]

oh, does it work with Skse64 2.0.17? I dont have 2.0.20 or im not using that one.

[terse shard]

Go to Breezehome. Hang up your sword. Rest.

[half creek]

does anyone know why torches look like this, Using Ember XD, Lux, Inferno

[pulsar wing]

You can get the most current version of SKSE via their official website: https://skse.silverlock.org/ You are using an out-of-date version. For AE you want 2.2.6: https://i.imgur.com/Q7wbSTX.png

[naive pine]

Oh. Would the out of date one for skse 2.0.17 be bad tbh for engine fixes or it dont matter?

[pulsar wing]

It will most likely not function so that would be bad, yes.

You can check the page for SSE Engine Fixes to be sure, but again that is not recommended to use out of date versions. You want the game and all mods you use to be current to get the best experience.

[naive pine]

How to check which skse version engine fixes uses?

[knotty loom]

How can I make perks that increase the strength of existing enchantments on specific items? I'm trying to make a skill tree mod for Runemaster magic to give the weapon effects progression.

[sudden fog]

Is that color patch fix mod worth keeping? Or is it not that noticeable without it?

[terse shard]

Not needed anymore. Not since like 10 USSEP updates ago

[sudden fog]

Awesome

hello i wanted to ask is the some skyrim mod pack for a user with a old pc? 16 ram 1660 super r5 3600x

[craggy glacier]

@arctic helm Can you please make a new Riton AIO? Please add blue plaster to Solitude? Replace Whiterun with Whiterun 2 and add Dawnguard and Skyhaven temple.

[swift imp]

I think Wildlander has a low end mod pack option. This is the only wabbajack mod pack I’ve used

CPU and RAM should be more than capable. Big limiting factor is going to be your GPU as most mod packs include high res textures. But still I think there are low res variants. Also if you are playing at 1080p that will be a big help.

[craggy turret]

Also, if need be, you can use CAO to mass/batch reduce the textures. Make sure you keep the originals in a safe place and work on a copy. If you see something in game that looks too low-res, make a note and then place a copy of the original, or not-as-much-reduced texture back in.

[long crow]

Is there a mod that locks all Radiant Quests to Skyrim? I'm getting a sidequest from Gunmar that's sending me to Solstheim and I don't do the Dragonborn dlc untill AFTER I defeat Alduin.

[craggy turret]

I don't know about specifically locking quests, but I always encourage people to go into the quest log and make sure only the quest that you're working on is selected. That way you'll have one Arrow to follow and not a bunch.

[smoky cedar]

Hi! Haven’t been here in a bit but recently started playing an old save again on PS4. I have some mods letting me spawn NPC’s and ANA’s Interior Decorator, and I’d love to move some to Fort Sungard, but I sided with the Empire this time and didn’t do Seasons Unending. So it’s still inhabited by hostile Forsworn, who I thought I could just erase with any one of the Erase NPC spells, but they’re ‘reserved’ so can’t be removed except if the fort is claimed by Empire or Stormcloak’s. Would someone be open to making a PS4 mod that changes all Forts to being owned by the winner, as if Seasons Unending had been passed and then Civil War was completed as well? Or if someone can just remove the Forsworn altogether, that’d be great too! Thanks!

[swift imp]

Is it possible to not load Dragonborn or other DLCs’ .esm files into SE / AE? This would be my work around.

[night violet]

thanks for the answer but is easy to install ? just download wabbaj e what else needs? im noob about modding and yes i play in 1080

[swift imp]

It’s very simple, you will install wabbajack and link it to your Nexus Mods account. I recommend paying for nexus premium otherwise you will have to manually install all mods (I think $6 USD a month and can unsubscribe when you finish the install). Once the account is linked search for “Wildlander” in Wabbajack and install. You will have a separate launcher for Wildlander from Skyrim that you will click to launch Skyrim. Within the launcher, you can select an option for lower end PCs. Also note that most Wabbajack mod packs including Wildlander are typically large in file size. Over 100GB. However, using the low end versions will make them smaller.

[night violet]

huge problem i cant pay for premium haha

[craggy turret]

You can still get them. Just a slower process.

@heavy imp Not sure which one you had, but here's a little not-fancy one of mine. Will get you anywhere from 10% to 5× stronger, depending on how you choose to enchant.

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/d6f9c0e5-ba99-4163-84be-b68583beff5a/PS4___Destruction_Power_Enchantment___Zurin_Arctus

[heavy imp]

Well ok then. I'll check that out later.

[neon orchid]

Requiem overhauls magic among other things and has a different formula for dual casting but not sure if it's available for PS5

Makes the early game much harder

[naive pine]

Whats it mean if I added a new dialogue in a scene in creation kit. But when I go to check the dialogue in xedit, it says it got INOM and INOA errors? Why?

Dialogue works tho

[sterile cobalt]

lol. This actually made me laugh so hard the first time it happened.

[sinful adder]

Yo why do my skyrim mods not work? Im on ps5

[silver talon]

@cinder lily I’ve a question/request

Can you re upload your Ivory Soldier Armor mod? It was sick looking. It would be good to have it back to be with your other armor mods.

[sinful adder]

Guys heeeelp

Someone help me my mods dont work

[silver talon]

It may help if you elaborate

[sinful adder]

Im on ps5 i dowloaded a pretty big amount of mods, and some of them, sometimes most of them just shut off

I downloaded a bunch of mods that was from a video he was playing on playstation as well idk what the problem is

Is there a chaos mod?

[terse shard]

Meaning?

[craggy turret]

Like...more chaos magic? Or like everything goes crazy at once?

[spring holly]

Everything goes crazy. Or like gta chaos in guess

Did I forgot to turn the ping off?

[craggy turret]

I don't know GTA but I imagine Sands of Time might give you some entertainment

[spring holly]

Udes?

[craggy turret]

I think they changed the name bit go through tonycubed2's mods

Look for Genesis and Genesis Surface Spawns, (separate) and whatever used to be called sands of time.

[spring holly]

Ultimate deadly encounters and spawns?

[craggy turret]

That may be it. I think they pulled genesis out of it and made it separate

But beware...you will not have a moment's peace

[spring holly]

Yippe

[craggy turret]

I tend to play with a larger team of followers so all the extra enemies can be fun.

For the two Genesis mods, you will want to choose leveled or unleveled, with regard to keeping enemies at roughly normal levels or spawning insane beasts. There also a dead body temover to help with performance. Works in background or you can choose to burn them to ash.

The mod names escape me at the moment but I believe Jonxor and settelisette both have encounter mods out there, too. Last I played, I use both and both genesis together. (On addition to double installs of populated Skyrim and immersive patrols.) It's no wonders I burned up my cpu.

*Gpu

[heavy imp]

Does anyone know a mod on PlayStation the adds damage numbers when I hit an enemy? It's be very useful

[craggy turret]

I do not. Even on pc, I was never able to find one like that. When I was testing a destruction magic mod, and whether the dual casting worked correctly, I ended up having to spawn a bandit Chief and manually adjust his health to a precise number, hit him, and then check it again with console commands, to see how much damage I did.

[heavy imp]

Damn

[edgy light]

Well if I would have got verified I already have one

[neon orchid]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14332

don't know of any on PS but then again i don't know any PS mods at all

this one on PC works pretty well

[pulsar wing]

Playstation is much more limited in terms of how the game can be modded as it doesn't have access to SKSE, among other things.

[blazing field]

Was wondering if anyone has ever used the Mysticism magic overhaul just on it's own without any other perk overhauls or gameplay changes and can tell me how the balance feels? I was looking at Adamant too but it feel like it really changes a lot about the balance, so I'm not sure about it.

[craggy turret]

Not I. With the exception of the usual suspects, various fixes, alt start, violens, etc., the vast majority of my mods are city/town expansions, population mods, and encounter mods.

Never got around to trying any of the big magic mods.

[barren pilot]

Is LoreRim 3 unstable or am I doing something wrong? I chose to start in Cyrodill and my game kinda crashes

[frank trail]

Any suggestions of modlists that are visual and fix focused only and that uses all of the AE content too? Just want something in the veins of Oblivion Remastered.

[terse shard]

Basically just a retexture pack. SMIM, plus some of the creation club texture add ons. So maybe Skyland AIO plus Xavbio/cc patch. Oh and lighting. So something like ELFX shadows.

[wheat patrol]

hello, are there any other good big skyrim modding discord servers out there? besides r/skyrimmods

i wanna get more into skyrim modding a lot

[craggy turret]

There are some out there with...debatable reputations. If I can't find it in bethnet, nexus, or afk, I probably don't need it.

[final timber]

You might try the AFK mods forum. Several knowledgeable folks post there. https://www.afkmods.com/

[wheat patrol]

i meant discord servers

[craggy turret]

I imagine there are Discord servers for several different groups of people who play the game, but you probably won't find anything like a specific Skyrim Guild or anything that you would see with a multiplayer. There are individual discords for loot, x edit, wrye bash, and some of the other common and important Skyrim modding tools, though. Some of the bigger tutorial makers, like gamer poets, also have their own discords.

[maiden mulch]

It's just as limited as Xbox...

[silver talon]

No, it really is more restricted.

[maiden mulch]

Care to explain how? As far as I know, everything possible on Xbox is possible on PS. The 1GB limit is the only restriction I know of.

[silver talon]

I would like to explain how. I really would, I just got a headache right now sorry

[maiden mulch]

No problem, get well soon 🙂

[neon orchid]

got only secondhand info, but the general consensus is that xbox modding is better

[pulsar wing]

Far more restricted, actually. Playstation mods are not able to have custom assets, with a single plugin file being the only thing that can be uploaded. So no custom scripts, textures, meshes, audio, etc. Supposedly there is an exploit some people are using to bypass that restriction in the Creation Kit but as it is not something normally allowed by it those people are presumably risking the mods being taken down, their accounts banned, and so on.

[maiden mulch]

Judging by what is apparent, mods are able to have custom assets on PS, that's why I said what I said... I do wonder how it got figured out though.

[steady delta]

In case anyone is thinking about getting the Albion Armor - Outpost Edition paid mod here's my suggestion: Don't. The outpost is supposed to have a note that gives clues to where the other armors and crafting recipes are but it does not. There is a book or note that I can't loot or even grab with Telepathy, and people on Reddit have that problem too, that might have the info. If the mod author had more details on it somewhere it might be worth it but they don't so it's not. If I could refund a paid mod I would do so for this one in a heartbeat

[pulsar wing]

As I said, it's due to an exploit, not official support; as such it's correct to say that the restrictions for playstation mods are still what they are officially stated to be and otherwise enforced by the Creation Kit by default.

[vast fjord]

OMG i just started learning how to mod skyrim and it has been a wild ride the past few days. got into TES games again after playing the TES 4 Remaster and now i wanna play through the story of skyrim but i cant stand the graphics so i turned to moding and i think i might have finally learned enough so wish me luck on the new attempt!!!!!

[muted roost]

I have Persision and Valravn for light combat mods any out there that might be better as a vanilla plus sort of combat mod

Anyone know of any mod that changes the aim mechanics of archery? Maybe dynamic reticles or alternative aiming methods for aiming it enhances eagle eye

contact bethesda to get a refund

[steady delta]

I did. Didn’t think I’d be able to but they said they refunded it. Still need to check

[muted roost]

That is cool they refund the points if a creation is bad

[hidden hinge]

Some quick help here, is there a patch for between Serana Dialogue Addon and Serana Dialogue Edit? I keep looking it up and people said there was a patch for both mods to be compatible with each other but I'm having no luck finding it?

[craggy turret]

Not familiar with either, but you can sometimes find patches or links to them in the requirements section, or possibly the comments, of one of the mods to be patched.

[silver talon]

@crystal stone Hey, Argonil. Can I ask for your help?

I noticed something wrong in my custom patch.

The patch consists of making a triple compatibility of Awesome Artifacts, Artefakes and VAE2.

The video below shows what's happening...

Any idea why this happens?

Sorry, video didn't go through right.

Hold on...

This

[muted roost]

disco swords. Special effects overlapping if they are slightly diffrent?

[analog depot]

Seeing as Benjamin Doon made the jump from Skyrim follower to Starfield follower, I truly hope we get other modded followers from Skyrim into Starfield, like SDA Serana, Kaidan or Inigo

[modern ferry]

so i don't know what's causing it but if I start a new game I experience extreme stuttering and then I crash I have a crash log mod but it doesn't generate any new logs

[vague aurora]

I recommend reaching out to our support team at https://help.bethesda.net/

Also, before doing so, you may want to try disabling any and all add-ons/mods/creations you may be using, as it is possible one of them (if not more) could be the cause of your issue.

[modern ferry]

ok well so far I seem to have gotten it fixed I still don't know what caused it but so far I was able to add back some mods and so far the issue hasn't occurred

[vague aurora]

Sounds like it could either be a single mod, or some mods conflicting with each other.

[modern ferry]

that's what I figured that's why I asked here to see if anyone else was having similar issues and if maybe they knew a fix or at least a mod to have known issues with similar results

[strange stratus]

I have a question. Anyone here know the ID for Garth in Beyond Reach? This girl named Dusk just won't leave me alone and I'm apparently supposed to talk to Garth. Problem is, I don't know where he is and this girl hounds me all the way through town, interrupting me every ten seconds while I try to find Garth to actually do the quest and it is driving me up the wall, she just will not leave me alone. I'm hoping spawning him in by force will let me do the quest and get her to leave me be.

[crystal stone]

No clue

[craggy turret]

I didn't see a uesp page for this, but maybe something here will help. It is the fandom page.

@crystal stone here's evidence of how things are arranged in the patch I made...
I should have brought up xEdit before, sorry.
Any idea now?

Forget it, it's not yours. I did some experimenting. It's VAE2.

[neon orchid]

Requiem removes the need partly by adding already smithed drops of various quality, doesn't remove it entirely

There are likely more that do a similar thing

@tall lintel I don't know how into modding you may be but IIRC this has a mirror to change your look, if you can't use the face sculptor

[tall lintel]

I don’t have mods at all I’m on console

[craggy turret]

Ah nvm. Sorry

[terse shard]

Mods are available on console

[tall lintel]

How

[terse shard]

You are talking about Skyrim right?

[tall lintel]

Yes

[terse shard]

You are on Xbox? On the main menu is the creations tab. Go there and you will have access to over 35k mods.

[tall lintel]

Oh I didn’t know that’s what that was

Imma see if there’s one to change my appearance bc I don’t wanna go through the trouble of getting cured just to do it if I can do that

[tall lintel]

I don’t have to restart my game to use them do i?

[terse shard]

Depends on which mods. Some require a new game. But graphics related mods like NPC appearance normally don’t.

[tall lintel]

I’m taking abt player character appearance

[terse shard]

Oh right. Same thing

[tall lintel]

I wanna make her hair color different I can’t use the in game way as a vampire

[terse shard]

Should not require a new game

No idea if a mod exists for exactly what you need. But good luck.

[tall lintel]

I’ll see

I didn’t know the creation thing was mods that’s cool that’s like how they do console mods in snowrunner

[craggy turret]

I was looking for Honed Metal on bethnet but couldn't find it. There are a couple different varieties of "Blacksmiths sell" mods, one specifies tempered up to flawless, another is advanced items but doesn't spell out whether also tempered. The latter is by @tight hull so maybe he can advise on improved items.

[tall lintel]

I found exactly what I’m looking for on nexus mods but idk if it’s on the console in game one tho

[terse shard]

Where did you find it?

[tall lintel]

It brings up the face sculptor menu which is what I want i don’t want the race menu because that messes up your stats

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10508

[terse shard]

That’s nexus. Might be available on Bnet. Search using Bnet not google.

[tall lintel]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/5531ad8d-16e0-4d5b-b5af-ab3040cd18a1/A_Change_of_Face__Face_Sculptor_s_Racemenu_

Same thing it looks like

“The face sculptor's racemenu (or limited racemenu) does not allow the player to change his/her race or sex but is generally preferable over the racemenu accessible through the developer console for the following reasons:

The limited racemenu does not reset any tintmasks. All of your character's color options will remain as they were when opening this menu.
The limited racemenu does not prompt you to rename your character and does not separate your character's saves.
The limited racemenu can not affect anything other than your character's appearance. Skills and magic effects will remain untouched.
This mod allows the limited racemenu to be accessible through your inventory and does not require use of the developer console.”

“This mod appears to be safe to use on vampire characters”(unless you change eyes which I won’t)

It says available for Xbox stats I’m on Xbox that should be good

Yeah it says platform Xbox on the details tab

[umbral iron]

What are the best mods to make my character and NPC's look better?

Hard to say what the best is as it’s all personal preference. But if you are willing to spend lots of precious MB I’d suggest Cathedral HMB.

[tiny violet]

Are there any mods that make Skyrim's combat feel more... fun?

hi all, i was wondering if someone could tell me what these settings are if i were to manually input them into my inis? just the three bloom ones in the middle

[silver talon]

does anyone have advice on 'combining' enchant object effects on weapons?

[craggy turret]

If it is more than two effects, it can become a royal pain, as inevitably one will not scale the way the others do. I'm stuck with just my phone, right now, but if you want to pull the armor of zurin arctis off of afkmods.com, you can see what I ended up having to do for a four effect enchantment. Short story, I argued with it for a long time, and ended up locking it down to exactly what the original enchantment was, because that was the only way I could keep them all in the range I needed them to be. An unintended effect, was that once it was locked down, another item could be enchanted no matter the size of the jam, at the same strength. The upside of that, is by the time someone gets to that level of destruction, making them find a grand soul, versus a petty soul, is really just not a big deal anymore.

[silver talon]

I should have elaborated, sorry.
If it's that difficult, forget the part where I said combining the effects rather than the enchants.
In other words, can I apply two or so enchants, but changing the effect to a different one?

And if so, can I have advice?

[loud crypt]

Holy cow I actually got a modless that works with my pc

mod list* stupid autocorrect

[muted roost]

congratz

[silver talon]

What I’m trying to say is:

How can I change the enchantment on an item, and at the same time change its art effect?
I'm trying to make a patch for VAE2 and Artefakes, since there isn't one already.
Like, what the problem is: the little snow effects on frost weapons can't apply to Aegisbane.
The VAE2 effects don't apply to the meshes added/edited in Artefakes.

Like this

[craggy turret]

, if I'm not mistaken, you would create a new magic effect for the enchantment you'd like to use, and change the art via a drop-down on that. Then either apply that effect to an existing enchantment, which I would not advise because it will change all in the game, or the safer method would be to create a custom enchantment using your new custom magic effect with the visual effects that you want, and apply that enchantment to the weapon.

[silver talon]

GOT IT

I'll get a screenshot later...

I cant figure out what could be causing the bow aiming to feel jerky and the vertical sensitivity is a lot higher than the horizontal. Also aiming movement does not feel smooth at all. Sorry if its hard to tell in the video

[pulsar wing]

the only things coming to mind at the moment is make sure mouse acceleration is disabled and vsync disabled (use driver software or third-party tool to lock FPS to refresh rate or lower to avoid screen tearing).

and then if you're using an optical mouse perhaps try cleaning the little window over the laser underneath it. little bits of dust etc can cause the laser to scatter and lose accuracy.

[frozen palm]

I honestly wish they bring back all of the awesome voice actors for each Daedric Prince that ever had an unique one, but they probably won't. They didn't do it for Hircine, and I doubt they'll do it for others who have gotten some amazing voice actors. (Most of which are from ESO since many Daedric Princes became primary villains throughout ESO's expansions).

Sheogorath & Herma-Mora are the only exceptions.

[hearty willow]

Sheogorath in ESO is a different voice actor, no?

Which is surprising since Wes Johnson voices both of them.

[calm bramble]

so i am playing skyrim but im having an issue with the game
i cant get this claw door (golden) to work for some strange reason

i have a full list of the mods im using

[terse shard]

Do you have the claw?

[calm bramble]

yes

its not just the middle part thats not working but also the rings

[terse shard]

Save and reload?

[calm bramble]

tried that and even tried to restart

and made a new save and tried that as well

im thinking one of my mods is the issue (let me try something first)

[pulsar wing]

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Puzzles#Bugs

[calm bramble]

besides using TCL(which i know works regardless) i know i tried every option

yea nothing is working

its gotta be a mod thats doing something

normally activating would attempt to open the door but its not doing anything

[craggy turret]

You must steel your resolve and venture deeply into the ancient, forbidden magic of the once mighty Nirnic Consolators.

Clear your mind of all distractions and concentrate on the door. Visualize a great Nirnic arrow being flung at the door with terrific force, causing the old portal spirit to tell you it's name, then command it to "unlock," that you may pass freely. When properly commanded, by one wielding sufficient power and Nirnic skill, the door shall be compelled to acknowledge, and will conduct you and yours safely to the other side.

[calm bramble]

so "unlock" doesnt work on those puzzle doors

[sullen pike]

So
How hard is the Skyrim modding tool to use?

[pulsar wing]

If you mean the Creation Kit, it's fairly easy to use; there's just an initial learning curve. The bigger issue will be what you intend to even create. There's a lot to learn and you'll want to refer to the creation kit wikis often, especially if you start writing papyrus scripts.

[pulsar wing]

Most likely. You'll probably want to try isolating the offending mod by disabling mods you suspect as culprits then going back to the door on a temporary new save (you can use COC from the main menu to teleport straight into the game, bypassing the intro) and attempting to open it. By sheer process of elimination you'll inevitably narrow it down to one or a couple interfering mods. Although you may be able to speed things along by loading the entire load order into xEdit and then searching for the door and claw by their EditorID and/or FormID to see which mod files are potentially editing their records, if any.

The latter assumes that the problem is edits to the door and/or claw which might not be the case.

I don't recall if the doors used an attached papyrus script to function, but if they do that may be another aspect to look into as well.

[echo pivot]

Hello, im having technical difficulties with my load order for some reason. Earlier today i was playing my modded save and realized i forgot to enable a mod i installed, now typically the mod is automaticly enabled the minute you download it but because creations is a bit unstable this isnt the case. i when into creations to enable the mod and reloaded my saves. When i go to continue my save, it prompts me there are mutliple missing mods from my save. Im very confused by this because last time i checked they were all enabled and in order. I go back into the creations menu to find half of my mods disabled and my load order scrambled. long story short i spend 3-4 hours reorginazing my save just to find it scrambled and disabled again. my creations menu is either broken or this is a bethesda.net issue. - Please help. Dev

im using Jks skyrim and interior AIO ~ Lux ~ Lux orbis & Via ~ Embers 2k ~ Northern Roads ~ realistic water two ~ Dawn and SWF ~ Blubbo Trees and Blubbos city and town trees mod. so having a very tight load order is important

[silver talon]

@craggy turret done for Dragonbane. finally.

[craggy turret]

That is awesome

[rough carbon]

i moved my save files out of the folder so i could install skyrim together, i put them back in after i reinstalled the game and it's like they don't exist?

nevermind, i hate skyrim

there is an entire save folder and it doesn't read from any of it except a subfolder!

How does one use the “download all library creations” function without having their own mods be included?

I just cleared my reserve space and went to BethNet to add and remove mods to and from my library.
But last time I used the aforementioned function it, it included the authorized mods which I didn’t want to install at the time.

[amber furnace]

On Xbox you must go offline before editing your LO. When offline (Parameters - Network - Disconnect), restart Skyrim and go to creations. Answer Yes to the message you will get to access your LO. Then reactivate all your mods. Before reorganizing the mods, exit and load a previous save dated before the issue. The game should tell you that the LO has changed and ask if you want to load the save(d) or the current/actual one. Select Save to load the game. Once loaded, make a new save and exit to the main menu. Go back to Creations and check your LO. If needed, reorder your mods, exit, load the last save and answer Current/Actual when prompted. If all is ok, save, exit fully and restart Skyrim and load your last save. Now you can go back online. While online, you can go into creations but only use the search and download functionalities. Any mod you want to remove -> OFFLINE. Any new mod installed -> OFFLINE to move it and activate it. New downloads are put at the end of the LO and deactivated by default when exiting creations online. Hope this will help you.

Hey.

In a patch I'm making or at least trying to, how would I go about making vanilla effects apply to custom meshes?
For example: There is that custom Bloodskal Blade mesh by BillyRo, but being custom like other new meshes kicks out the projectile effect and other such things added by other mods, thus making a conflict.
Any help will be appreciated.

[sharp helm]

A new mesh won't have any effect on the projectile

[flint patrol]

which house mod should i go with: Peregrine highwatch or TeXarium?

[craggy glacier]

If you own AE Tundra Homestead is at the location Texarium uses. Highwatch ctd with me. Was nice otherwise.

[flint patrol]

i don’t have tundra downloaded so i’ll be okay, also i’m on xbox and i don’t think highwatch crashed for me

[quaint gazelle]

I think paid creation mods are not allowed to deactivate the achievements at Standart

[sharp helm]

At least at their introduction, they all disabled achievements
I don't know if that has changed since, I don't keep up with paid mods

[proud snow]

Can yall help me? I just started modding and i'm trying to download "The Conflict Under the Cresent" but when I try adding it to my mod manager (mo2) it just says "No application registered to handle this game"

This is so complicated istg

[proud snow]

Nvm managing to download now

[proud snow]

Now i'm struggling on getting skyui

[calm bramble]

ever since the anniversary update modding had been a freaking nightmare

[ember dragon]

First error You had probably because MO2 could not find ur game executable in shown by You folder,
It often happens if You have pirated version of the game or You installed Steam / Game in other directory than the common one, or You got the game from different source than Steam... again for example Piracy... or GOG... tho idk if Skyrim is even on GOG...

How can You be struggling with SkyUI?

1. Get SKSE - Skyrim Scripts Extender - You drop its content to the game and done
2. Download, and if You pref. to use MO2 install via MO2 SkyUI

SkyUI have only 1 requiment which is SKSE...
Ofc. make sure that You are downloading everything for the right versions...

If Your game says version 1.6+ then You are on the AE, if You are below 1.6 then You are on SE
And I would personally recommend using SE ( there is Downgrade patch on Nexus )

I dont know tho how big differences are between AE and SE... other than CC and garbage from Bethesda that I dont want to have in my game...
But LE -> SE works 90% of the time, tho I learned for example that Bethesda ( or MS ) deleted support for DDS3 in AE... so LE works with only DDS3, SE works with both DDS3 and 5, while AE works only with DDS5 and for no reason support for older DDS got removed...

Meanning that if SE Mod uses old formats that would work in SE they may not work in AE... but its rly depending on the file formating...
And as for DDS, these are just texture files...

[terse shard]

Maybe because they are on PlayStation?

Oh. I guess they are PC. Profile says PS.

[proud snow]

Originally playstation now just moved to pc

[proud snow]

Mb it was late at night I meant true hud

[ember dragon]

The question still stays, do You have all the requiments and are they for right version?
Tbh. I didnt even know that You can have Skyrim on PS... I simply dont use and will never use PS or XBox, but since You said You are on PC now.

How does the issue looks?
Is the game staring but crashing when You load the save?
Is the game crashing before even showing the main menu?
Is the game running fine but mod does not work?

TrueHud have more requiments than SkyUI ( and including SkyUI )
Do You have them all? :x

[proud snow]

Well luckily it works now my problem was the other things I was supposed to get in the requirements tab

Also all the tutorials I watched told me to download nemesis to get it to work

[terse shard]

@ember dragon or anyone else what is a good example of a mod that changes the gameplay loop you mention here #skyrim-chat message ?

[ember dragon]

Im returning to Skyrim modding after 3 years, and last time I was playing skyrim was like 5-6 years ago, but back in that time there was "Build Your own City" Mod and some mod for Mine management that I dont remember name but it was around Morthal...

I was also always only playing LE so well... cant really help as many old LE mods are no longer for SE / AE :x... Tho they could be definetly be fixed to work in SE, the BanditKing thing I mentioned in Skyrim Chat was my own mod that like 99% of my mods is gone already :x...

-> https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40678
Thats the mod I have wasted like ~200 hours of my life xD tho its LE

[terse shard]

That looks very cool. I always liked the Hearthfire building aspect. Makes a home feel like it’s really yours. This would be even more of that. Not sure we have this on Xbox though. I’ll have to search around for it sometime. Thanks!

[ember dragon]

Well, in that mod ( it should work fine in SE despite being LE ) You just claim terrain ( by building ur own well and marking 4 poles what is "YOURS" )
And then You can place buildings that will generate resources and gold every day, but ofc. You can also be attacked and protect ur village 😄

Attacks can include Dragons too xD

Best if You save before picking location, because I liked to place in mountain terrains and not always it was possible to claim good terrain,
Your land poles must be in specific distance from the well, not too far, not too close, and sometimes its hard to find where to place them :x...

[terse shard]

Is that your mod?

[ember dragon]

"Build Your own City"? No :x...

[turbid summit]

This question has probably come up before but what's the general opinion on mods that are essentially designed for your character to be semi-OP from the start? I got back into Skyrim after a couple of months break and I totally forgot how weak I felt in the early game so I installed some armour sets and cheat chests that could get me started faster. I understand it's a thing of personal preference though (sometimes we all wanna have a good power trip).

[craggy turret]

Opinions will vary, but the "bruh I play legendary in just my underwear with a fork" types seem more likely to comment when opinions are sought.

In my humble opinion, it's a single player game. Play however makes you happiest. Trying to adhere to how others think you should play just makes it less fun and more job-like.

[honest python]

Yeah, do what feels good for you. What feels good to you might change over time. You're allowed to change your mind too.

My personal opinion is that it takes away from my enjoyment of the game.

[turbid summit]

I just enjoy being overpowered and smashing my way through draugr or bandits.
On another note, is there a mod that lets you keep Barbas? Ik you can technically keep him if you just never complete the quest but I like the idea of having a talking pooch following my goth dragonborn around.

(plus I've already seen a mod that makes him look just a little bit more unique compared to other dogs in the game)

[craggy turret]

OP is a blast sometimes. I put on the Armor of Zurin Arctus and I'm like 5x stronger in destruction, 6x if I enchant my cloak. Then I dual cast flame cloak and mosy on into the center of the dungeon. With multiple 'more enemies' mods, it's just a huge BBQ and suddenly the dungeon is empty.

[proud snow]

Any of yall know some good modlists that turn skyrim into a proper dark fantasy game?

[sullen pike]

Is there a SE update for the Dwemer Construct mod?

[hallow ocean]

Yo guys I'm on xbox S but it won't let me install the crowded streets mod says requires content that's not present but the mod doesn't say it needs any others?? Any advice please.

[dark nova]

Might need the community patch tbh

[hallow ocean]

Anyone know ant big questlines that won't just pop up at start

Any*

That I can download with mods on console please

[terse shard]

Lots of options. Project AHO, Wyrmstooth, Forgotten City might be the most popular

Oh and Falskaar is a classic.

[prisma matrix]

So doing the forgotten city and keep dying when collectin lakehouse key??

[hallow ocean]

It just keeps killing me regardless of what my health is

[hallow ocean]

Any1 any ideas

[craggy turret]

It has been so long since I've played that mod, that I can't even remember what most of the issues were. I do remember one thing. Once you get to the end, and you gain your Rewards, make it hard save, and test it. Sometimes it can stick and never turn off, so it's good to have a hard save to revert to

[proud snow]

Yall is there any mod list that turns skyrim into its old lore self?

[terse shard]

Wdym?

[proud snow]

Well like are there any mods that change the enviroment into something exotic and alien like in morrowind

[terse shard]

Skyrim and Morrowind are different provinces with different environments. So not sure that would be “old lore” would it?

But if you are playing on PC there are options for just about everything. Not on PS.

[pulsar wing]

I think they might be confusing Skyrim for the "jungle" version of Cyrodiil.

[proud snow]

Na cause I swear old lore skyrim was alot more weird and alien before the game

For example: flying whales

[pulsar wing]

Do you know of any lore books describing this? None of that rings a bell.

Not saying you're wrong but rather that I'd be interested in reading about it if that is what something in one of the games says.

[terse shard]

If anything Skyrim should be more cold/snowy than it is.

[loud heron]

Can anyone share the gamepad codes for tk dodge please? The site is down...

[pulsar wing]

[deep inlet]

the only flying whales i know of are in dishonored lol

[craggy turret]

I want to say I saw a YouTube video with flying whales in Skyrim, long ago, but I don't know in what context or whose channel it was.

A little bit of snow whale lore

https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Whale

https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/General:The_Snow_Whale_and_the_Dirtbird

Most of the "Old Lore" is PGE 1 and 3, which have been pretty heavily retconned in general

there's https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/43598 for Snow Whales

i downloaded a mod but cant find the chest, any help??

its the riverwood cheat chest

[craggy glacier]

It is under stone bridge leaving Riverwood.

[wild spear]

thank you

[sand ember]

Should I go with snipeys owl anniversary edition and randomized add on, as well as the difficulty and ez patch?

Or should I go fatal illusion with ghastly owl AIO with the creation club integration plug in and crossbow cc plug in.

[long crow]

Just thought it would be awesome if someone created a support/compatibility patch between Convenient Horses and the Saturnelia Creation Club pack. Riding around on an armored Reindeer would be THE best thing ever.

[teal basalt]

that would be pretty cool

[alpine elm]

how do i mod skyrim on pc? i forget how to as its been years since ive even touched the game

[pulsar wing]

Usually you'll want to get a third-party mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 (aka "MO2") and then learn how to use it and get a baseline mod install going by watching a tutorial series about it on YouTube.

[alpine elm]

[silver talon]

@sharp helm

[sharp helm]

so where's the issue?

[wild spear]

Heyy does anybody know where i can find sanguine in skyrim ?? i had donde the mision in my last gameplay but i cant seem to remember😞

[sharp helm]

It's a random tavern

[silver talon]

Nowhere anymore. I got it to work.

[silver talon]

No, it’s specifically in the Bannered Mare.

[sharp helm]

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:A_Night_To_Remember#Drinking_Competition
No

[silver talon]

Is it really random? Every single playthrough I find him in Whiterun.

[terse shard]

It’s not random. It has to do with something like the most visited inn or most recent inn at a certain level or something. So likely Whiterun for most people. But not necessarily.

[sharp helm]

I've seen him in plenty of inns

[terse shard]

Pretty sure if, for example, you have never been to Markarth, he won’t be in the Silver Blood Inn.

[wild spear]

I found him, thank youuu

i found him in whiterun inn i forgot the name

[pine crown]

He can appear at any inn that has the special marker for the quest. Including inns added by mods if they have the marker. It's random, but the randomness of the game leaves a lot to be desired sometimes.

[sharp helm]

I would assume it's "first valid inn the player enters after racing the requirements"

[terse shard]

Even if you have not been to that specific inn?

[pine crown]

Yes, it's a Change Location event that triggers when entering any location that has the Habitation keyword.

[noble phoenix]

UESP says you may meet him in any inn or tavern, once you reach level 14.

[pine crown]

Yes, as long as the town has a Habitation keyword, a center marker, an inn with the LocTypeInn keyword, and the inn needs the DA14SamLocation type set on a marker inside. So there's a small amount of work needed to make mod-added inns work with it.

[noble phoenix]

I would assume your town mods meet these criteria?

[terse shard]

Hmm. Thankfully I’ve never had him appear anywhere I had not been yet. That would be annoying.

[pine crown]

They do.

[noble phoenix]

Good to know that. Thank you for the info.

[craggy glacier]

What is with all the work in progress mods on Xbox Bethesda? Many are old and seem abandoned. If you add to your library or bookmarks on website, not shown in game.

[terse shard]

Yea they broke that with the update. Along with other things.

[craggy glacier]

They broke many things.

[terse shard]

Yup.

[craggy glacier]

How do you show permission for a plugin made on ck? I made a essential big bunnies plugin.

[terse shard]

If you made it no need for perms

[craggy glacier]

Thanks.

[wary prawn]

I had to return the game. I had issue's getting the mods to work. I rather wait for that all-in-one next-gen mod.

It was only a few graphical enhancements and that precision combat mod.

Eldergleam takes up too much space.

[silver talon]

Hey, a question.
My sword isn’t [un]sheathing properly.
I’m thinking it’s because I had it and GDB plus the realistic equipment patch both positioned wrong.

Can someone help?

Hey console friends! Our mod made it to y'all! Be sure to let me know if you give it a try and I apologize in advance for trying to unalive you in game! <3

[north plover]

Doesn't standalone in mods mean it doesn't affect NPCs?

[grizzled night]

is there seriously no way to run skyrim higher than 60fps? i have a 180hz monitor

[silver talon]

Is this the right place to share load orders and issues with them?

[sharp helm]

Depends on the context
What kind of mod is it?

[north plover]

Depends on your PC.

Skyrim will work on any newer PC.

[north plover]

What's your graphics card.

[grizzled night]

my PC is fine, i built it myself and its newer. my question is if theres seriously no way to play it at high framerate without breaking the engine. none of the mods for it work

[north plover]

No

if your trying to make it look like oblivion remastered it ain't gonna work lol 😂

[craggy turret]

Not that I'm aware of. Over 60 and your physics go wild

[north plover]

Todd Howard will never use unreal engine 5 himself

The new oblivion makes Skyrim's graphics look so old lol

[north plover]

Eye color mods. It's fine I did some tests. I use Cosmetic Vampire Overhaul that also edits the eyes for the NPCs. It's compatible with other eye mods for the player only. I just wanted to know if standalone means player only and NPCs are unaffected.

[grizzled night]

thanks

[median flare]

Are there any mods available for console (ps4 specifically if that matters) that make staff enchanting be affected by boosts to crafting or enchanting? My character is really high level and atp it's not remotely viable to use staves but I like the look and feel of using them

[craggy turret]

Question: if you take a potion to increase your destruction damage, and then use a staff, does the potion affect it at all?

[median flare]

Ill boot up the game and check

Yeah but only for the 30 second duration

[sharp helm]

There's no way to make staff enchanting create a stronger staff

Unlike regular enchanting, where the resulting item is created in the fly, staff enchanting just gives you one of the predefined staves in the game

This behavior is hardcoded and cannot be changed with the means available on consoles

[pulsar wing]

Technically you can but it takes a lot of effort in modded workarounds. The main problem is playstation lacking in options in that regard compared to xbox.

[sharp helm]

How?

[median flare]

Ahhhhh that makes a lot of sense. I did find a work around through a destruction damage enchant mod

[sharp helm]

Wouldn't you need a ton of staves to represent every possible value?
And how would you choose the correct one to craft?

[pulsar wing]

Basically combining multiple existing systems to set up a framework to support it. It's something I've been poking at for years, but custom scripts are essentially mandatory if you don't want to have to go the tons of duplicate staves route you mention.

[craggy turret]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/d6f9c0e5-ba99-4163-84be-b68583beff5a/PS4___Destruction_Power_Enchantment___Zurin_Arctus

The enchantments here were made using the magic effect from the potion, or a duplicate of it rather, so it may very well work to increase your staff. I haven't tried it with staves, but it does work to increase swords and Hammers and things like that. You might make a hard save, pop it in and yourself some of the jewelry, either from Drelas' cottage or buy from Faralda, to test it. If it doesn't work just pull it back out and revert to the save.

[median flare]

Ooh cool

[craggy turret]

There are a couple of minor fixes I need to make, like one piece of the full power jewelry can't be disenchanted, but it doesn't stop anything because the other three can. Once I have access to my PC again, I'll be making little fixes and updates.

[teal basalt]

ok so like, i'm a lil upset

i just checked the cc menu for skyrim, and one of the featured mods is the loverhill homestead

the icon used for it is ai generated

[vague relic]

idt it's against Bethesda's TOS to use ai generated images for free mods, but idk.

[teal basalt]

eh, it's not that big of a deal that its possibly not on the tos, but it still makes me a bit upset

[silver talon]

Is this the right place to share load orders and issues with them?

[silver talon]

@craggy turret I have a problem…

Okay, so… I need help.

When attempting, swords aren’t un]sheathing properly.
I’m thinking it’s because I had it and GDB plus the realistic equipment patch.
Yes, I’m also using a GDB mod.

The problem is: when attempting to sheathe the sword, the weapon just stays in hand.
Oh, and it eventually crashes the game.

Any suggestion?

[teal basalt]

question about the unique thane weapons mod for ps4, uhh, which weapon is replaced with which

like, the thumbnail has a cool sword that has red on it on the characters back, but i dunno which thane weapon that replaces

[terse shard]

Probably easiest just to refer to the nexus description for better details.

[teal basalt]

oh, huh

i forgot nexus was a thing

[teal basalt]

i think its a lil bit bugged, i tried doing the quests for the blade of the rift, but i got a blessed iron dagger instead

[craggy turret]

From the Jarl or from the priestess of Arkay in the hall of the dead?

[teal basalt]

from the jarl

i wanted to get the thane weapons because of that mod i downloaded, tried getting the black blade of the rift, and all she gave me was a dagger

[craggy turret]

Ah, sorry. I don't know what would cause that, unless maybe the vanilla (or some other) leveled list is winning out over the Thane weapons, or maybe it's injected into the lists but didn't remove the originals.

[teal basalt]

hm..

well then, how about uhh

is there a mod that lets me summon any item? kinda like console commands, but for playstation?

[cold mango]

Does anniversary edition give me more space for mods on Xbox?

[teal basalt]

i think the best option i could have is just uhh

playing the game for a bit with the ussep, getting the blade, and seeing if it'll still be there if i remove the mod

[terse shard]

No

[craggy turret]

You want to avoid removing mods in mid game. Bad things happen.

[teal basalt]

the unofficial patch didnt even work

[terse shard]

Wdym?

[craggy turret]

For ps4 I could only find this. I think debug menu is only for xbox. I have no idea how well this performs. https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/c6856fd7-b4bb-43df-8711-d59e6a3ed0b9/Console_Commands___Multi_Utility_v6_1

[teal basalt]

the unofficial skyrim patch for ps4, on the uesp page for becoming the thane of riften says if you wanna get the black blade of the rift, you need the unofficial patch, but it didnt work for me

[copper niche]

did you install the patch on an existing save or start a new game with it?

[teal basalt]

existing save
(if you need to be on a new save for it to work imma be pissed)

[copper niche]

NPC inventory edits are only reliable on a new save. if your game has loaded that NPC its inventory is potentially part of your save
IIRC

[teal basalt]

dammit

[teal basalt]

wait, does this mean like, if you already load into an area with a jarl? or do you just need to load into a town

[copper niche]

Anywhere the NPC is, but if theyre set as persistent it may need a new save no matter what. id need to test to be sure

supporting altering a modlist on an existing save is tricky to put it mildly

[teal basalt]

i mean, i guess it would be fun to redo this run if it means getting the sword

lemme actually try doing a new test run first

[maiden mulch]

You should never download mods on an existing save in general, things can always break even after several hours into a playthrough

[teal basalt]

little thing about me, im gonna immediately forget that because

[terse shard]

The PS4 patch is a very scaled down version of the full patch.

[pulsar wing]

Again this is misinformation. Whether or not a mod will function correctly mid-save is entirely dependent on what the mod does.

[pulsar wing]

The problem in this scenario is that some fixes and changes to quest data are not retroactive. In particular to The Blade Of The Rift are the following bugs as noted by the UESP wiki (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:I_Done_Got_Thaned!#Bugs):

• "The Blade of the Rift" is never actually given as a reward: instead, you will receive a generic un-renamed enchanted weapon.
• The reward you receive is generated randomly at the beginning of the game, so will always be iron.

In this specific scenario you unfortunately need to have both the unofficial patch and the thane weapon mods installed from the start of your playthrough to avoid the reward not being correct. This does not mean either mod will not still function correctly for the rest of their changes; it is fine to install them both mid-playthrough. It's just that doing so won't change this particular outcome.

As a result, in order to get the unique thane item from the mod they installed they'll need to either use a mod like Cheat Room or some other method for spawning the item (ideally the thane weapon mod itself should include a method for retroactively acquiring the item, but not every author accounts for retroactive mod use), or they'll have to start over. Or just give up on getting the item and continue playing with other items. @teal basalt

[teal basalt]

is there a specific name for said cheat room mod? or like, a creator for it?

[pulsar wing]

One moment.

[teal basalt]

ps4 still by the by, so if its not on ps4 then you dont have to share it

[pulsar wing]

The author of Cheat Room is "Bradenm1" (https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/all?author_displayname=Bradenm1), but after looking on bethnet it seems they didn't upload it for playstation themself and you'd have to use one of the ones ported by other people: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/all?platforms=PS&text=cheat+room

Unfortunately I don't know which one of the ones in that set of results is the one you'd want to use.

That said, I should note that I'm fairly sure that on its own Cheat Room won't be able to spawn the unique thane item as it's not normally a unique item in the base game. You'd probably need a patch that makes the unique item mod's version of the weapon available in it, or a mod to just spawn the item another way.

[teal basalt]

and, if this doesnt work, i can still just restart my playthrough, right

[pulsar wing]

Correct. As another option, you could also try contacting the person who uploaded the thane item mod to see if they created a way to get the item retroactively and if not if they'd be willing to create a small mod to do so; realistically making a mod to add the items in somewhere inoccuous like a chest or a forge recipe would be fairly trivial.

[teal basalt]

hmm

i think i might remove this lightsaber mod

its cool, but i kinda wanna use something other than lightsabers
(i'm still keeping the guns tho)

is this "classes of the sky and rim" mod any good? i saw something about classic classes and i thought like, oblivion style

[pulsar wing]

Just to be sure, I would advise against removing the mod mid-playthrough - particularly if you intend to keep any custom items it adds that aren't present in the default game.

If you absolutely must risk removing a mod mid-playthrough, then be sure to first make a save before doing so; then, get rid of any items etc it added, then make another save, and then attempt the removal. The reason for this is that removing some data from the game's session by removing a mod can potentially corrupt your save or cause other bugs; it unfortunately just depends on what the mod does and how whether or not that will work out, so having a backup save will allow you to reinstall the mod and revert to where you were if it turns out that removing the mod broke things.

[maiden mulch]

People who download the mods don't 100% know what every mod will do, so to be safe they shouldn't install them mid-save. This isn't even misinformation 😂

[pulsar wing]

It is misinformation and you're just spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) without explaining anything. That is not helpful at all.

[maiden mulch]

It's quite helpful when you're not blindly loading new mods into existing saves and causing yourself headaches down the line when things start to go wrong.

[terse shard]

Common approach for most players. Can cause problems. 👍

[pulsar wing]

Lying to people is not helpful. There are many mods that are safe to use mid-playthrough. Try properly informing people instead of treating them like they can't make informed decisions on their own if people bother to explain a bit.

[terse shard]

You are both correct. One is technically correct. One is more realistic for average players.

[maiden mulch]

Oh so now I'm lying? I spoke of mods in general not every mod. You can dig into each and every mod if you like, but people would rather enjoy the game and this option is more appealing.

[maiden mulch]

Exactly what I mean, thank you

[pulsar wing]

"I spoke of mods in general not every mod." No, actually, you didn't. Since you need a reminder, you said the following: "You should never download mods on an existing save". That's you talking about all mods when you say that. And telling people that installing any mod mid-save is unsafe is lying because it is a patently false statement. Battling misinformation in modding is already enough of a pain in the ass without people like you just saying anything with reckless abandon.

[maiden mulch]

Yes that is literally me speaking of mods in general, I said mods not every mod, you speak of specific mods like every player can view the plugin or reads the description, they don't so safest thing to do is start a new game. It's not misinformation, it's a precaution.

I know what I meant and I'll update my message to reflect that

You know I speak for the average player, so you can get back to updating debug menu now. 👍

[teal basalt]

damn, i forgot which mod i used before when i was making my argonian character

i gave them light blue eyes, and i think thats all i used out of that mod

[pulsar wing]

What I do with my free time is up to me to decide and I most certainly do not need someone like you trying to order me around, particularly when you seem to think talking to people like that is some kind of counterpoint to being called out for fearmongering.

[maiden mulch]

You're the one who said I was lying and fearmongering. You speak of talking to people "like that" but you have a history of disrespecting porters, people earn respect FYI. Also I didn't order you to do anything, since you need a reminder, I said "you can" not "you must".

[teal basalt]

i found the mod :3

[blazing nebula]

Just to put my two cents as a porter, author, and someone who has been helping people with LOs for years, I have to agree with FM07 here. The general consensus is to never download, delete, or even rearrange mods mid playthrough. This goes for both PC and Console. The reason this is the general consensus is because the average player is not going to dig through the nitty gritty of a mod just to determine if it safe to do anything with mid playthrough. On top of that, many players do not even read descriptions. So no, it's not a "lie" to tell people that in general you should be advised against downloading a mod mid game, it is sound advice for the average player.

[pulsar wing]

You're the one who said I was lying and fearmongering.
Because you were and are. If you have a problem with accurate descriptions of your behavior, then please consider changing it.
Also I didn't order you to do anything, since you need a reminder, I said "you can" not "you must".
You know as well as I do that the expression "You can go back to <insert action>" is a condescending remark meant to order someone to 'go away' and do some other action; pretending otherwise is fooling nobody.
you have a history of disrespecting porters
A comment that, aside from being intentionally misleading, literally has no place in this topic and is toxic outright. Since this is the route you are committing to, I'm tapping out.

[blazing nebula]

Wait wait wait, let me get this straight, you can call out how FM07 is "behaving" according to your standards, but when he does the same back to you it's "toxic"? Did I get that right? 😂😂😂

[honest python]

Uninstalling mods is not supported. Do so at your own risk.

Installing mods mid playthrough is supported but even that's not a guarantee

[blazing nebula]

Same with downloading midgame. I get people all the time who forgot to install Hall of Wonders and then ask me if it's OK to do so mid game and I'm always like "I can't stop you, but I recommend against doing so" and then half come back saying it worked and half come back saying it broke their save and I'm like....

[maiden mulch]

You can provide us a list with every mod that can and can't be installed mid-save and we can go from there.

[honest python]

I'm pretty sure you meant and installing and activating mods mid playthrough. Simply downloading content into your data directory is harmless

[blazing nebula]

I mean, yeah, for the current conversation at hand we're talking about mods you install and activate mid game. FM07 and I are mainly from the console side of things so "downloading" for us is an all in one term cause you have to install and activate for the mod to do anything, even texture changes.

[maiden mulch]

Most players don't look into whether every mod can or can't be installed mid-save and it is safe to assume not, based on this assumption they will just start a new game.

[blazing nebula]

But yeah the one exception to the rule, that we tell people, is textures. Those can be messed with mid game as long as the mods are only textures and nothing else.

[honest python]

I'm a PC creature myself. On PC, it's not totally true what I said if the user is using a non-standard setup where their game is loading loose files. If a user has loose files enabled and they download a mod with loose files then that is not harmless. That could certainly have an effect on the game even when the plug-in is not activated

[blazing nebula]

Yeah and that's why even on the PC side of things I repeatedly tell people not to mess with their LOs mid game at all. Could some things be safe? Absolutely. Am I about to trust that some rando I'm helping is going to deep dive a mod and figure it out themselves? Absolutely not. Am I going to deep dive whatever mod they're asking about for them? Not a chance. So yeah, the in general rule is there for a reason. 😅

[pine crown]

Ah, the age old debate of "is it safe".

Let's look at this another way. If installing mods mid-game was somehow dangerous to the integrity of your save, DLC as a concept would never have worked.

[blazing nebula]

Yes, but DLCs were vetted and tested to specifically work mid game and any that proved to not do so were updated. You can't expect the same from free mods some random person made in their free time.

[pine crown]

Actually you can. There are a mere handful of things that shouldn't be installed midway through, and they all specifically tell you that in their descriptions.
The game is specifically built to be able to take on new content as you play.

What it's NOT built to do though is to remove that content from the game once it's embedded into your save. The developes themselves openly stated the engine is not designed to do that and taking things out of the game will likely result in things breaking.

[honest python]

💯 about removal.

[terse shard]

I always assumed Bethesda ensured this was safe for all their DLCs. Mod authors? Not so much. Some safe safe. Some safe nope. Some say nothing.

[pine crown]

There are even a few cases, like Helgen Reborn, where you're specifically told not to install it until after you've left Helgen.

[blazing nebula]

Yes, and if your LO is around 5-10 mods, sure, you should be fine. But when you get into using 100s of mods you then run the risk of adding something that then conflicts with something else, some of which can and have bricked saves. We aren't just talking about the ramifications of the game handling a new mod mid save, we're also talking about inserting a new mod into an established LO. And the implications of it conflicting with things within the LO. Sure, on PC there are ways to mitigate the risks, but there is almost nothing to be done on console and this advice, specifically, is handed out to console players the most.

[terse shard]

Sure. Designed that way intentionally. But again FM07 is playing it safe for most users. And most users and not fully informed. They just want to play without any research.

Pretty sure you are one of the main proponents I have seen for the don’lt download or delete ever philosophy.

You have the same ability to adjust load order on console as we do on PC. Telling people that X will conflict with Y is just an excuse not to instruct them on how to change the load order.

As for whether players are too lazy to read, that's not an issue with game design. That's a pebcak.

As a last ditch effort, you might try that console command mod I linked earlier. See if you can find the PS4 equivalent of help.

Help "blade of the rift" (w quotes)

Get the ID number, then

player.additem IDNumber 1

No guarantee it will be identical with the ps4 mod but it should be similar enough to recognize.

And no, Tanis, I've never advised people never to add things in the middle of their save.
But I HAVE repeatedly warned against removing things mid-save.

Changing the LO via rearranging is one thing, but with lack of tools like xEdit for conflict resolution there are some mods on console that simply will not work together because people can't do their own fixes and patches can't or don't exist for them. If someone has an established LO, and it is working, then the advice is to not touch it unless you want to start a new game. It's not like anyone has a rolodex of Mod X + Mod Y = Bricked Game.

People have tried many times to create that Rolodex

Unfortunately there is no publicly available equivalent of the help command on console - especially not on PS4. (except for the UESP records database, accessible in a browser, for base game records). There is an approximation in the works for xbox, but even then it is not as good and unable to directly query data by its EditorID. Fingers crossed that one day either the papyrus API is updated to add a function for it or the console commandline gets added on console outright.

wrong, i have every mod ever playtested alongside eachother. if ur lazy just say that smh

[pine crown]

There are nearly 100K mods out there spread across several platforms. Such a rolodex would be impossible to maintain.

You just want to take whatever side isn't mine lmao

buh

[blazing nebula]

Completely agree. Hence the advice given predominately to console players. Lol

Also it's not that a patch can't exist between X and Y. It's that often it isn't worth someone's time to produce that patch because too many people are ungrateful brats about it.

[deep inlet]

then why release the mod at all for these ungrateful brats
