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.

Goooooood Morning Tamriel! Agh my head ... good morning Tamriel

Avrie wishes you well on this first day of Morning Star. Avrie hopes everyone had a very good time celebrating the death of the old year and made it home safely. Avrie is sorry for being tardy but is sure you understand. We'll just stoke the fires quietly and put some water to the boil...

First brew of the new year will be the master roast from India, and we have a tray of crumb cake in the oven, but it needs a few minutes more and has to cool as bit. Avrie needs a few asprin more than biscuits right now anyway. Never mix tequila with Champagne ... this one needs more coffee.

Checking the hot sheets we have 14 new, a nice selection of bimbettes and accessories...

thesuperpwner released a stripped down ENB preset based on Cathedral

Turns off most of the post processing for weaker systems

CrimsonLeader89 corrected the leveled lists so that Thalmor get Elven weapons instead of steel ones ... Avrie never noticed ... 1 cookie

Oooiii patched lautasantenni's Aetherium Armor and Weapons to allow the ore to respawn
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31416

KAIS by TarkArk adds a one handed sword (that looks 2 handed to this old cat) and a really interesting dark plate armor that looks very well done. Based on fan art ... This looks really good but the specs are not listed. Seriously worth a look ... 2 cookies

Lets see...
digitalx1990 released a small player home near Whiterun

Lertkrush made the block angle of swords and shields so large you're blocking enemies you're not even looking at ... Milk drinker

MisterB1969 stole a couple of his favorite perks from Ordinator and added them to Vokrii

giamel wants the PC to dance for money ... ahhhh, right

Let's finish up with the the only mod this old cat might actually use in game ...

Slower More Relaxing Nirnroot Sound - Lore Friendly by gyashaa
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30052
This mod slows the loop speed of vanilla Nirnroot sounds to something much less annoying. Nice and very lore friendly ... 1 well deserved cookie

And that will do it for the first day of the decade. Avrie will be in the corner with a cold bottle pressed against his far head. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are. Ugh! bloody Nords ... where's that mop? We-B-Open!

Technically the decade doesn't start until 2021.

It comes down to language and the chosen terms:
https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/decade.html

More importantly, I'll celebrate 2021 as the new decade too, so the confusion suits me perfectly.

Hell, if I don't have to work the next morning I'll be able to celebrate it properly even. 🧚‍♀️

[fauxpas]

Hmm, now I'm curious...


Yep, falls on both on my normal days off, so assuming Evil Overlord doesn't alter my schedule for this year Ill be able to have some fun next year. 😈

[Avrie]

I think I had a little too much fun ... oh well, no one to blame LOL

I have about forty more mods to install, then the base patching starts. Time for a fresh cuppa and start with the flora mods ... I'm still making up my mind on the trees

[fauxpas]

Yeah, after work I think I'll trim my minecraft mod list, it's only 132, but when I find myself asking if I'll ever use a feature it's time to look at whether taking my fps from 120+ to 20-30ish is worth the performance hit or not.


Plus I think I'll gut the RPG Skills datapack I'm running down to the combat skills only as the non combat bonuses are more annoying than useful.

[fauxpas]

Hmm, also ought to actually test the Zelda datapacks I added into the mix and make sure they're stable.

...


Assuming they survive the chopping block of course.

OK, I'm officially senile now. I have a problem: I moved Steam from the program folders to a new folder and all went well.

I can play games from Steam, but my MO2 was screwed up. I found how to change the game folder on MO2, but now I get an error message saying Skyrim is newer than my SKSE and I need to update SKSE.

I forgot how to upload a picture to steam.

I followed directions and went to skse.silverlock.org but I'm not sure what to do next.

Could someone refresh this swiss cheese brain of mine about what app to use to upload pics to steam?

Then should I follow Charles guide to start over? I don't think I need to download Skyrim again, but should I just delete MO2 and start over from that point?

Thanks,

Your elderly decrepit resident old-fart member

Current SE build 2.0.17 (runtime 1.5.97).

If you can upload Steam screenshots from ingame events, then F12 takes those and screenshot manager should open after exiting the game.

Otherwise you can upload images as Artwork. Steam has it's own option for that.
- Top screen > Artwork > Upload your own artwork.

And then there are also services like Imgur, or Discord. I am often uploading my own images to Discord and then posting the direct link here. Those images do not link to server itself, so they are basically just image links.

Of course that is easier for me, when I have two servers, where I can just post stuff to hidden channels, without bothering server members with picture spam.

Happy New Year dear trolls. I am off today. Didnt drink too much last night because I want to play Skyrim today and didnt want to get myself wasted for half a day.

I have a lot to do. There will be no excuse if I don't finally beat Skyrim even on adept. A year ago my attempt to beating Skyrim failed because it turned out I spent more time modding than playing. Hence my dislike of mods. But now am much more lightweight with mods and focused primarily on the game.

[roger.alms]

Thanks Ilja, here is the error that I am getting:

Yep. You are using 2.0.16.
The current version of SKSE64 is 2.0.17.

Download the archive and unpack it in to your game folder. Delete the old version DLL-file manually. You should then be good to go.

Sadly I can't take credit, Roomate and (his) Girlfriend were were telling stories and apparently that's what they did back in 2000 / 2001.

Ilja set you straight on the SKSE64 version you need ... I'll drop a link to SteaScree which allows you to upload pics as actual screenshots instead of artwork ... the only drawback is you need to log out of steam before uploading them
