That sounds like something wasn’t right with your SKSE installation. Version mismatch? Files in the wrong places? A conflicting file somewhere?
For help diagnosing crashes, post the crash log in a pastebin or gist! SKSE should write logs if it gets far enough along. And for crash logs from SKSE plugins, use this crashlogger.
Do you run the checker on your modlist afterward? It’ll help you diagnose things like that. Also, before you build you really should review its notes about potential problems and fix them. It tries its best to help you build a great merge.
The mod author changed his user name on the Nexus to look like he deleted his account but he did not. 🍿🍿🍿
Here are some not-Immersive-Armors armors you can use to spice up that load order:
And here are some weapons:
Well, that Reddit post was one heck of a journey.
I end up being pissed off that the mod author is likely using false claims of transphobic harassment to distract from his own commonplace sleazy behavior coming to light.
I went looking for videos featuring Skoglendi earlier and found this one. Looks great.
There are some great base-install modlists for both the Vortex (via Nexus Collections) and for Wabbajack (a more fully-featured modlist installer). These modlists will cover the major bug fixes plus the frameworks or extensions used by many other mods.
One modlist for each tool covering what essentials if you want to move on and install some other fun mods of your choice on top:
If you’re modding with Mod Organizer 2, use Wabbajack to install a modlist. If you’re using Vortex, install a Nexus collection with it.
I keep coming back to Elysium Estate as the best home I’ve tried if I want to adopt the maxed-out number of orphans. This has all the mod cons and the latest version has been around long enough that it’s well-patched. Bath, kitchen, basement with enough display space for me, crafting stations in believable places, comfy bedroom, cozy decor!
In the playthrough that I’m going to start any day now I swear I am going the entire opposite direction. I’m installing some small shelters in out of the way places, and probably sticking with Breezehome for a main base. Right now that list is:
I am still hunting for something in Hjaalmarch and something near Markreath if anybody has a suggestion!
I look forward to tools like this putting me out of a job answering questions about crashes :D
I used to steal everything that wasn’t nailed down in Elder Scrolls games. Somewhere along the line, I stopped being a pickpocketing klepto and started being a boring paladin, even with the sign of the thief on me. I did a playthrough recently with the goal of getting all the daedric artifacts to get the acheivement, and oh my god, I hated killing Erandur. I will not do that again. It felt awful.
That is great. TY for the pic!
Sforzinda’s armor and clothing mashup mods are always my first answer to this question, because they are so good. The Nexus has supporting patches, like bodyslide conversions and compatibility tweaks.
My second answer is always high-poly-head, which is a SFW mod on a very NSFW site. But it’s such a good visual upgrade!
Synthesis is critical to my load order, and I have no idea how I missed these patchers. TY for linking!
Check, check. I think this makes sense.
Can you explain how to use other people’s presets? This one baffles me. I want to use a preset that claims to replicate what AllGUD did by default but… I can’t figure out how to even load it. I think I am looking at the wrong windows.
I’m reversing this! I used Blade & Blunt in my last playthrough, so it’s Valhalla this time around. We are overwhelmed with choice right now.
Whichever way you go, definitely check out Precision. This makes any combat overhaul feel tighter with better weapon collision and movement trails. Great stuff.
Oooooh, interesting point. I need to take a closer look at what AI Overhaul does!
I dunno about UniversalHatred, but for me half my modlist is texture mods, some of them tiny mods that just retexture one thing. And a huge percentage of the plugin list is tiny patches that I’ll merge before I start my real playthrough with it. So that mod total might not be as heavyweight as you think.
Grimacing with pain… I’m going to say that for the purposes of this question, I’m going to skip all the bugfix mods and the staples-of-everything mods like SKSE and SkyUI. I’m also going to skip the enabling mods like OAR and Base Object Swapper, because so much is built on top of them now that they’re requirements.
When I mod Skyrim, once I have the base layer in place, what do I always include even though I don’t need it?
True Directional Movement. This is so good that for me it’s now a base mod. I love that third person mode both feels good and looks good.
High-Poly Head and NPC makeovers using it. Hard to un-see the clonk in the old heads once you see the nicer ones.
QuickLoot. Massive QOL improver.
Any mod that adds cloaks.
ENB Lights. They make the game so pretty.
The EasyNPC discord server has a channel for preview requests and a channel full of fulfilled preview requests. This was pure gold! They also have links to all the tools they use for making consistent mostly-automated previews if you want to give it a shot yourself.
IIRC it’s linked from the mod page.
