The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVII: Paid Mods? Not in My Community. - Games

im looking at a lot of radiant quests apparantly if you assault someone, theres a chance that someone will come to you and pay you to assault another person, or there's a chance that someone who's related to the person that assaulted you will give you shit and ask you to apologize

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47660098]Holy fuck I'm reading this quest. If you throw a valuable item on the ground near 3 npcs, they will engage in a scene where they fight over the item. I looked up a video [/QUOTE] And yet all of my valuable gems and high level armor remain lying around Whiterun for months. The one time an npc actually wanted an item I dropped it was an Imperial soldier in the middle of an Imperial camp who asked me if he could keep the Stormcloak uniform I dropped. He happily told me he was going to wear it right away. Yeah, probably not a good idea.

Y'all know that Town Crier in Solitude from Inconsequential NPCs? I got sick of his horn thing, so using the console, I launched him through the sky to the other side of Skyrim, killed him, disabled him, and deleted him. The world is now a better place. [editline]asdf[/editline] "Hahaha! Think you can NUH."

So I had just passed out after my newly built hot springs made me freeze to death when I get a message that my follower brought me to the nearest inn. Then the screen loads and my horse is standing on top of the bar.

ok apparently spell magnitude is based on 10????? apparently 10 points = 100% [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] creation kit please go home

[QUOTE=-Iker-;47658563]Damn. Anyway I totally recommend using both of these mods, they make using shouts so much more fun: [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14353/?"]-Improved Dragon Shouts [/URL] [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52648/?"]-Individualized Shout Cooldowns [/URL][/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41376/?"]Thunderchild[/URL] doubles the amount of shouts and basically lets you become a proper Tongue.

I hope all these Falmer made sure to say goodbye to their souls before I came through. Soul Cairn's gonna be having a large influx of pasty goblin-elves soon. Sorry soulbros.

hey guys what order do i install dual sheath redux, xp32, belt fastened quivers, and perma? also i have pcea but i only want certain animations on my character, and other animations like belt fastened quivers and dual sheath on everyone. using mod organizer btw. sorry for the long ass post. animation mods are a bitch

do not install dual sheath and never install it ever get xp32SE which will be near the bottom of your LO, bfq is already an option in xp32SE, then run the perma patcher, pcea should be very very close to last in your LO

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;47660320]Funny thing is that it was advertised before the game came out as a cool new feature, only problem is that once the game actually came out, nobody tried it or noticed it. It's just like how some shopkeepers may be replaced by another NPC if you kill them, which will rarely happen to anyone unless [B]a dragon[/B] attacks the town at the exact time that shopkeeper is going to or from their house.[/QUOTE] That's a funny way of spelling "Never-ending waves of vampires" also [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzGsud6ERzY[/media]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47660098] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP4TFHGQgRo[/media][/QUOTE] This feature is so dumb if you are one of those weirdos like me, who spends hours decorating their houses in Bethesda games with trophies they pick up on their adventures. Tried to drop the helmet i took from the ebony warrior on a shelf in vlindrel hall, and suddenly my terrifying orc wife sprints over and says something like "ITS A LITTLE WORN BUT ILL TAKE IT!", then my fucking housecarl runs over, says he saw it first and attacks her. both of them are essential so i had two npcs perpetually fighting in my living room while my stupid adopted children ran around knocking all of my shit over screaming "Why are they hurting each-other!!!!"

[QUOTE=Nerokhan;47663347]Why not give them daedric armor so they'll forget about your prize?[/QUOTE] I'm not giving them expensive armour they get iron armour and they'll like it, and if not... then they'll somehow trip and tragically fall onto a greatsword

The patch should go around the bottom of the load order. PCEA is a bit strange because all it does is add a new behavior file that can be used by different races. The default .esp file affects all the vanilla races, which means you'll have to use a custom race if you want certain animations for your character only. Alternatively, you can open it in Tes5edit or the creation kit and change the behavior files for the races yourself (for example associating the behavior that uses animations from KISS to only affect khajiit) by just dragging the path from vanilla to the altered one or changing the ending of the path from .hkt to hkx. The animations for characters that use the vanilla .hkx behavior files goes in the usual data/meshes/character/animations while the .hkt behavior uses animations in data/meshes/character/animations/pcea. Make sure also to run FNIS with the checkbox for PCEA checked. At first, PCEA might seem like a complete clusterfuck, but it's actually a really simple system.

There is a Skyrim reference in the new Wolfenstein, linked if you want to be surprised [url]http://i.imgur.com/vBrii3I.png[/url]

Every time somebody mentions Dual Sheath Redux it usually involves the words "crash" or "don't" I feel like it needs to go in the OP that everyone should avoid it like the plague

[QUOTE=piddlezmcfuz;47664089]Every time somebody mentions Dual Sheath Redux it usually involves the words "crash" or "don't" I feel like it needs to go in the OP that everyone should avoid it like the plague[/QUOTE] I've never experienced a crash with it. I'm pretty sure the only way you can make it crash your game is by not installing the right skeleton. The biggest problems I guess is that the install is really easy to fuck up and it requires a couple of patches if you want it to work with everything. I've actually recently reinstalled Skyrim with most of the mods I used to have and decided to skip PerMa and AoS, yet kept DSR. It even worked perfectly when I tested it as well.

why does she look sunburned

[quote] crash [/quote] Which means jack shit. "I've never had a crash with firefox, therefore it's the best browser and anyone who uses the internet should use it" "Everyone should just get an AMD card, this game runs fine on it, I don't see what the problem is" DSR is badly coded and has several incorrectly attributed and pathed nodes which aren't used by anyone else for those attachments except DSR, meanwhile everyone else producing the same or similar content has pretty much gotten to a standardized setup with proper standardized attribution, and instead of going along with that, the author attempts to convert everything else back to their system with a non-redundant and lacking basic pathing agnostic aware functionality patcher, can't imagine why most of the time that fucks up, no sir...

I mean in most cases people complain to mods authors that replace those slots that they have to fix it (which is just a quick edit in CK/Tes5Edit and NIFSkope anyway). DSR is good in this case because it has the patcher where the biped slots can easily be edited by the user to prevent conflicts, however I can definitively understand the complaint that every mod that edits those slots essentially "wastes" them because they are so limited and mod authors can't add more of them. A good way to try to solve this is to have mod autors agree that items that heavily clip or shouldn't be worn together at the same time should occupy the same slot, which actually doesn't cause any conflicts unless you plan to actually wear both at the same time. As for the script errors, I haven't had any problems with the patcher and have definitively seen worse examples of mods causing script lag in-game. If the code is a mess, I don't care as long as it works. That might not sound like a too good idea in terms of IT-management and programming in general, but I know this is a free mod and I don't actually have that high quality standards when it comes to those things. If someone has a better idea, they'd be better off making it themselves rather than complaining about someone doing it wrong.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47665179]why does she look sunburned[/QUOTE] Because I guess the person who made the mod thinks Nords should be really tan or something. Or maybe he has a shit ENB. idk I'd fix her skintone but I'm much too lazy. [editline]ad[/editline] He also gave most of the named vampires blue eyes for no reason. I had to go through it with TESVEdit and delete a bunch of the changes before I even bothered to use the NPC changes plugin :v: Some of the changes are kind of interesting, though, like Jenassa here: [t]http://static-6.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/52322-5-1395508911.jpg[/t]

So after switching to Kountervibe ENB, the Z-Fighting in my game has gone out of wack and now the mountains and distant cities are throwing rave parties and they didn't even bother to invite me. Ill test the Extreme version of Kountervibe ENB (Because on my system it actually seems to be a pretty light ENB for some reason), and see if that does anything. If not, is there any easy way to stifle Z-Fighting (I know there isn't a way to eliminate it) without having to go through a labyrinth of ini tweaks and drivers?

It's the exact same principle as the seatbelt argument.

Atronachs are really boring and Dremora are really rare, so it'd be cool to fight Scamps or Clannfear or Spider-Daedra again.

So, after fixing the Z-Fighting (It was Immersive First Person View), I was able to actually correctly install Kountervibe, and I'm not sure if I like it. It looks fucking amazing: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/718666189801164057/E0FCA880FDF25B792072C3CB070B4DBDB8FA0D2E/[/t] But I feel the DoF is way too toned up and that there is too many effects going off at once, It actually makes it feel a bit cluttered in my opinion. I might go back to TAZ or try some of his other ENB's to see what I like the best. Any ENB's you guys would recommend? I want a cinematic feel similar to what I get from Kountervibe, but without so much clutter. edit: I'm feeling it's set up wrong because theres no other screenshots of this ENB that look like mine, I'll be doing some stuff to see what happens.
