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 am not familiar with CC oddities. If someone could help them out?

I had to laugh at the Jon Battle-Born make-over.

I usually make Jon and Olfina enemies, then make Olfinia marriageable and possible follower. She has all the dialogue and a strong Nord woman needs a strong Nord man, not a Jon

Anyway catch everyone later, road trip time.

Oh man, big disagree, tough woman X soft poet guy is an ideal pairing (though tbh Olfina herself seems all mouth and no trousers on the "strong Nord woman" front, I can't even have a fist fight with her... Show me, Bethesda, don't have her tell me!)

Morning Xy, looks like an interesting melee combat mod. I honestly don't go in for melee so I'm happy to see others picks.

went with precision + valravn + valravn addons combo. Did some practical test setups, I'm satisfied for my companion run soon.

[Corinze]

Old cor slumps lower on his stool and picks his feet up real high as the badger strides by.

In my defense just a few clicky clicks in the CK and she is one hellofa fighter. Teach her some things with NFF and well, pictures speak thousands of words. I never tried making her the first wife to see if all the dialogue is there, I’m pretty sure it is there. The stern looking one, in armor, in the middle with the burnt fire staff from showing her dominance.

Now Jon and that bard over at Riverwood who sometimes works at the mill, I see them as useful as a trap door in a canoe. I can do lots of things in the CK but I no god, there is no helping those two.

Now please don’t hurt me ~.~ Good Morning Skyrim lol

Morning *waves* Played late, slept late, no apologies offered. Just settling in with my first cuppa. 56 new mods I've yet to look through. I'll wake the cat in a bit. Me first.

I looked, but Altbert has the right of things. They obviously missed some of the installation requirements for the wabbajack they chose. They need to bother the author not the forums. This has nothing to do with CC unless the AE download is required for the modpack.

I keep forgetting I have Valravn installed as well, on top of wildcat, and RAID. They seems to work really well together as I completely forgot I had it installed. I've yet to add NFF. I'll drop it and a few other things specific to followers when I'm ready for the long game. During testing I have no use for door blocking pack mules. I am finally looking forward to bringing Inigo along for the journey.

I'm still trying to decide if/who I'll choose as a female companion for the prospector. When I wrote the back story I'd always intended to travel with Arissa. I love the idea of her getting the better of him first, and that's when he takes a shine to her. The back story was intended to be at 'Dead Man's Drink' after he frees her from the guards.

Arissa - The Wandering Rogue
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53754

She was arguably one of the very first 'custom' followers, and fits my play style perfectly, but of course oldrim, and no Chesko for porting and current updates... Sofia made a fair substitute, but I really liked Arissa in oldrim. Not in a huge rush to go anywhere, completely morally ambiguous, and Chesko's 'reguard system' ... well she's not easy ;-)

That was a same typo in both threads. I was writing before second cup of morning coffee.

Totally forgiven old friend. I just poured mine.

wait ... If I read it correctly, Valravn is a mini-Wildcat. And you have put them together? Interesting.

Still, can I showcase you this mod? ;)

Getting old and set is one’s way, it is guaranteed, and I would not change a thing.

Now that is one song not only do I love but I can fully agree with and relate to. The ones who aren't a fan of country don't sit and listen to the words for which are being told or the stories being told.

I just checked, I do have them both installed and the SPID / Unclock patch for Valravn. So far I'm on the fence with adding sneak tools... etc. I lean more towards doing that for a thief character. The prospector likes stealth, but he's not really focused on it. I do like how they usurped the 'Grey cowl' code for masks... Great idea.

Smoke bombs, stealth take downs, working masks... All great additions, just not needed for this character. He prefers to wander in the shadows / dark places, but it's not a 'profession'

Like I tell people all the time. I enjoy making the world fit the character. Modding is the game, but for my next actual thief build... Yeah, sneak tools and this looks to be a good combination for me. Thanks for the recommendation.

Okay, I've been side tracked and screwed off long enough. Time for a third cuppa, and to wake the cat. I'm starting to think food... best get on with it ;-)

[freault]

Good morning.sitting down with my first cup of hot tea and how are things in the land of Skyrim.

Arissa's great, she was OG Nerussa's first ?friend? back in the Requiem days. I haven't ported her myself (the incomplete storyline bothers me) but I know people who have and she works perfectly fine. Doesn't have as much Stuff as most modern followers but I'm not aware of any issues with her that would need fixes. She's strictly platonic, fwiw. (I wouldn't call her one of the very first, she came out nearly a year after Inigo, well over a year after Vilja and Cerwiden (never gonna get over that misspelling but afaik the mod was good) not to mention over two years after the earliest version of Interesting NPCs, though I'm not sure when Zora and Rumarin or any of the other followers were added, definitely well before I started using the mod in late 2013/early 2014 when I started playing with mods.)

[Avrie]

Morning Gnewna, Mia Culpa... I'm not a follower person so it's not surprising I'd be clueless of relative time lines. Let's say she was the first custom follower 'I'd' discovered, that I could relate too. LOL

... FYI ... Quite a few mods this morning caught the eye... Still looking
