If you're new to Skyrim, or just having problems, and not sure where to begin ... Just ask. All are welcome, If you can grow pubic hair you're already an old fart to someone.

This is just a place to hang, chat, ask questions, and get abused by forum regulars. Feel free to drop by ... We might not have all the answers, but we probably already know the people that do, and we will be happy to help.

Bashing, spamming, self promoting, advertising, and trolling will simply provide us with target practice and make you look really lame. Please leave politics and religion at the door as well.

Personal attacks against forum guests based on country, race, ethnicity, and lifestyle preferences will not be tollerated in any way ... Period, and we will be enforcing the moderators rules around here ... Period

Keep it clean (mostly) While the game is listed as mature, a lot of the people aren't
Keep it civil (always) arguing a little is fine, just keep it friendly

Move over young ones ... Gramps moved back in.

I dumped MM a while ago for the same reason, I got tired of the patching and conflicts. I've been using Real Mountains which is meshes and textures only, and letting it overwrite my other landscape mods. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3704

Will have to admit that I like what I am seeing with RM. If I might ask what ENB are you using?

I've been using Real Mountains since the Oldrim days, and haven't found any reason to change yet.

I'm using Pi-Cho right now.

@isomorphic. I heard about Holy Mountains for the first time a few days ago. The screenshots on the modpage are pretty bad, but it might be worth a go. I'm a bit reluctant to put a mountain mod with an .esp back into my load order.

If DynDOLOD is showing errors that means there are errors in your list that NEED to be fixed. It doesn't just show errors for no reason.

Most of those errors, are things you need to alter (FOR DynDOLOD); it's not about loading order errors or mods errors. So, you need to "fix this" and "fix that" (and always re-running the DynDOLOD)... which can take 1 hr... you're about to finish and just about the end... you're getting a new error... and again, from scratch, running DynDOLOD...
...and loosing a couple DAYS of your life, to "create real 3d lods"!

DynDOLOD 100% shows mod errors. Broken meshes, deleted references, missing scripts, etc. will all cause errors.

@ Today's mods, Alteration Grant Armor, if that works as intended maybe we can finally get Maurice Jondrelle to Eldergleam Sanctuary alive without fast-traveling.

Now your asking for a Miracle of the divines for him making it to Eldergleam without dying I would love not to have to ft that quest.

I think that's dirt rather than birthmarks, on Adrienne it goes down below the neck, even.
...
Eh, I like gutmaw's stuff in general but I'm not sure about these

It may be dirt, but it just looks silly, and matching dirt? Warpaint on Balgruuf... Not for me

I agree with you. I probably would have said something to the effect, but I was in the museum when the nexus went down... Which is why the generic description. I did like the bars in the Museum, but I think you're correct Calixto's is a bit over the top with security book shelves, and puzzle stones. Still it's different.

Blah. BiS version of Bathtubs, Basins and Beyond simply refuses to work. Only rinsing happens, but that does not clear the dirt.

I'm using interactive wash basins
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/56039
Works fine with Keep it clean, and BIS. Though to be honest the activator sometimes has me washing next to the thing instead of in it, but they definitely do work.

anyone got any suggestions for a forest mod? Something that makes them look fuller and with better looking trees than the vanilla.

I hate to admit that I just ride my horse at full gallop there from Whiterun, and expect the engine to teleport him every time I get far enough away. I've never lost him, but I keep hoping

Lot's... My current build has several blended together

Traverse the Ulvenwald
CG4 Trees and Bushes SE - (WOODLAND Version)
Realistic Aspen Trees SE
Bent Pines II
Wigfrid's Tundra Oaks
Blubbos Treeaspenstump01 Replacer

And that leads into unique flowers and plants, several shrub replacers, and then grasses...

Now there is an idea. As this is the first play through for which I've really ridden a horse I never would have thought of that there. One of the reasons is because of the CH mod, At least the horse no longer wants to fight the enemies which is what I always hated,

@Dragon, I'm currently using Traverse the Ulvenwald; it looks great but packs a performance wallop.

[DragonMaster]

Avrie might I ask how you know what to let override what with so many?

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Slampears released Snow Material UV Fixes (SOS) as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/139591
"Addon for simplicity of snow which edits the UV scaling of Skyrim's snow shaders for consistency with terrain."

It's hard to get past how bad the rocks look LOL, but the UV scaling does appear to make a difference. No information on the patch itself. The old cat mat test this one. Have a cookie

Goodmorning, i'm getting the feeling mod makers are following old farts.

3th time in 2 weeks.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/139591

But to late for me.

Ok now what kind of a pain in the arse is it to install a LOD? Referring in regards to the Traverse the Ulvenwald- 3D Hybrid lods he mentions under requirements?

@Isomor- will have to admit it does look good. Will check it out more when I get back. Have to go get a full chest X-ray.

That's the thing... they don't over write each other. Bent pines and oaks are hand placed, and CG4 adds trees where vanilla doesn't.

This gives you a sense of the way they blend.

I do use the no bushes patch for CG4, and I've added several shrub mods
