The Elder Scrolls Megathread XX: Might as well be XXX
3,795 replies, posted
Following on from this fyat waddling wide boy I had to add the other guys mods to just complete the set.
I present to you.
DUCKS.
Ok you shiny happy people, finally got off my arse and copied down my mod list from fucking forever ago since I'm antsing for some Skyrimming and want your sexpert opinions on it. Namely looking for anything like "that mod is old/breaks your game 50 years in. Use this one and your save will last until Bethesda drops the Gamebryo engin." or "that mod is outclassed by this one," mostly for the combat and other larger overhauls I'm using. Also load order conflicts though that's only if you spot something obvious, I don't expect anyone to go over the list with a fine-toothed comb. Probably willing to go up to 175 plug-ins since I have mountains of other mods I want to add later but they're either quests, followers, or items and rather self-contained. Long-ass list incoming so sorry for stretching your page.

Remove lipsyncfix, get BugFixes
The Notice Board is sort of iffy from what I've played. Things like quests happening in dungeons that are locked away for other quests. An alternative would be to just keep Missives, as you've already installed it. I'd recommend choosing one or the other.
That and I always have to tailor The Notice Board quests' rewards to be worth doing them every time I started a new game, so it made it a hassle to start new games.
Remove iNeed and Wet and Cold. Those tend to be the easiest to bloat saves and/or corrupt them.
What would you recommend as alternatives to iNeed and Wet and Cold then?
iNeed is pretty much the main need mod.
I honestly don't know. Every one I've come across can either bloat or wasn't to my taste. I just roll with a no needs system.
You could try Last Seed but atm it just has hunger and chesko hasn't been updated it in roughly a year.
LL has minineeds, which as clean as you're going to get.
Unlike last time I'm not going to justify my statements with a five hundred word essay with links and pics on why these following mods are bad, the post(s) I made covering that are in my post history now, so if anyone is really that consternated hurt and sadfeels by an opinion supported by facts or the premise of facts > feels you can go look up the posts thereof or just ignore this one.
the following mods are problematic, period:
Immersive Weapons
ineed
wet and cold
winter is coming (non hdt is better than hdt)
The following can cause travel CTDs
Horse/Patrols
Carriages
LOHS
You have the uncapper, I don't see a mod that needs the uncapper
Notice board is a yes/no situation, sure lots of new quests, but those quests are generic as it gets and frankly if you need those to do your thing in Sky, you're already bored.
Xpmse should be dead last in your order
your bashed patch should be right above that
Immersive AI should be above that
dyndo + billboards should be right above that
After you set that you need rerun FNIS in admin mode, period.
You have four loot mods, are you REALLY gonna be using all those weapons and armor, cause you really aren't. you're gonna be using what ever you get at the beginning, whatever you craft and like and that one broken one that just wrecks everything. you know the one.
You need to get Cfixes and Bfixes (same author) and integrate/configure them with your enb, onetweak is completely redundant now AND if you change the render mods with one tweak that shit will stick until you uninstall skyrim regardless of any other visual/focus fixes or apps you use. Annoying as hell.
You have a rescaler mod but you don't have a locker for that rescaling like Size Does Matter
Disparity should be lower
MiniNeeds
I ain't makin' a LL account.
Dammit he didn't fall for it. we'll have to think of something else lads.
I looked up the same name on the Nexus, and it's there surprisingly.
Reminds me of a mod way back
I remember that one of the LL realistic needs mods added not just pissing, but shitting too.
Naturally they where flawlessly animated but the real big thing was that the shit was an actual thing you could pick up with physics.
It was considered an ingredient, and did mainly poison effects
It was weird, reverse pickpocketing your dung onto people or killing dragons and bandits with literally shit covered weapons
But it made playing as a Wood Elf so much more authentic and natural.
god the 2h weapons counting as 2 bonuses is going to be a fucking whacko good update for healers
mainbar lich, have jewels for it, then have a 4p spell damage/crit set OR a support set, spell power cure, and back bar spc
By the way, the Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul has a built-in hunger and sleep needs system.
Best about Elder Scrolls games is when you come back to your old save files(this case over 1 year and 2 months) and then try to figure out where you left off.

I have absolutely no clue what I need to do. It doesn't help that Morrowind's Quest log is just absolute mess.
I don't even remember where my house is.
30% nerf to breath of life
Fuck off
Could you post your load order? That's the nicest I've ever seen Morrowind and its UI looking, I wanna check out your mods.
Here comes a big post.
For the Interface you may want these.
Morrowind Code Patch
Skyrim UI Overhaul for Morrowind
Skyrim Style Splash Screens
Better Dialogue Font
Rest of the mods I use are
Prince of Moonshadow - Azura Creature and Cinematic Replacer
Voiced Vivec and Yakety Yagrum
Blighted Animals Retextured
Animation Compilation
Better Robes
Passive Healthy Wildlife
Graphic Herbalism
Dark Brotherhood Armor Replacer Expanded
Hold it 1.92 (TR update)
Wrye Mash
Cait's Critters Unleashed 2.0 <- I know it breaks the lore a bit but I like 'em anyways.
Pluginless NoGlow
Better Almalexia
More Better Clothes Vol I - Vanilla
Better_Clothes Official Version
Better Bodies ZW
Morrowind Comes Alive <- If you want more lively lookin' world and more action, this is the mod.
Modern User Interface <- I only use the crosshair from this mod
Mesh Fix
Children of Morrowind <- Goes to Emma's website
New Beast Bodies - Clean Version
Better Morrowind Armor
Morrowind Land Texture Fix
Bloodmoon Texture Fix
Better Heads <- I also have another Heads mods but I can't figure out which one. It doesn't show up in the plugins.
Morrowind Acoustic Overhaul <- Requires bit of tweaking but 100% worth it!
And lastly for the graphics
MGE XE
In MGE XE I use these shaders
SSAO HQ
Underwater Interior Effects
Underwater Effects
Sunshafts
Bloom Fine
Eye Adaptation (HDR)
I may have edited the bloom and SSAO a bit.
Careful with FOV settings, I get occasional crashes when I load my save and only way to fix it is spamming ESC key when loading your save file(Who would've thought this would fix load crash?).
In case people want distant land to look like this... ( BTW I finished main quest and that's why there's no energy thingie on those ghost walls. )

I use these settings.
http://puu.sh/A5Dto/006318543d.PNG
In the Distant Land Generator Wizard
I use 256 for texture resolution
Medium mesh detail
150% Minimum static size
0% Grass
25% Mesh Detail Level
1/2 Distant Texture Reduction
and select only - Include interiors behaving like exteriors -
Reason I went with this is to get steady 60fps and outside cities and basically making the game look like vanilla but some enchantments. No texture mods(except bodies) and shi- was used. Prefer original look of the game.
Breath of Life is nice, but by no means should you be using it enough that a nerf will cripple you.
Healing Springs should be your go to, and save BoL as a panic button. Just use it twice, and bam, so long as your build isn't weak on the mag regen side, you'll be a-ok.
By the way, to any people seeking to replicate this list you should probably get Wrye Mash standalone rather than the version on the Nexus.
I've been doing exclusively healer warden, I have insanely batshit sustain on it, while still pulling 20k crit heals
BoL is a great 4 man heal but they almost seem to be making it less and less of a healing class for the sake of others being used more for healing.
So Morrowind for Xbox One is out now.
Apparently it loads faster and plays way smoother than the original release. It's always the GOTY, even if you put in a vanilla disc.
Sorry, ignore.
It doesn't look like a person you'd meet in the game but it's not that bad in terms of looking lore friendly.
might your breton know the "breastus maximus" spell
i heard it's getting popular over in high rock
whats with the tits
Nitpicking maybe, but it looks like she showers twice a day and uses a handful of hair products. Now I'm no expert on the lore of hygiene in the Elder Scrolls, but I'd assume that the folk of Skyrim are probably bathing just a few times a week and washing their hair with horker fat.
Also I'm pretty sure that no woman has ever had (natural) breasts that large without being 300+ lbs- but I don't think that's something you'll find in the lore.
With enough magic and CHIM your tits can be as big as you want
Good luck trying to fit those moon-sized mammaties behind steel plate
She wouldn't be able to use her bow with those bewbs.
I fixed your character to make her more immersive and lore-friendly.

The women of Skyrim are hardy and strong, and make up for in biceps what they lack in tits.
