Okay, here i am again. Sorry if i am annoying u guys :D

I am getting a few warnings in Loot and i dont know what to do with them. I know, Loot isnt always right, for example it says, that dawnstar an immersive citizens are not compatible but i've read the nexusmod site for dawnstar and the author says it is compatible....but there are a few other problems:

1. Unique Unique_WACCF_Patch.esp
Loot says i should delete it because it is already contained in "Unique Unique_CCOR_Patch.esp". Both are provided by kryptopyr's Patch Hub. Both are for different other mods: CCOR = Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered and WACCF = Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes. Should i just hide one of them with "Information" --> "Optional ESPs"?

2. Immersive Weapons_WACCF_Patch.esp
Same problem with Immersive Weapons_CCOR_Patch.esp. Should i hide one of them too?

3. Ordinator_WACCF_Patch.esp
I added Ordinator to the mod list and i've got the same problem with kryptopyr's Patch Hub.
The other file is CCOR_Ordinator.esp. Deleting or hiding? I dont know :D

4. Landscape For Grass mods - Helgen Reborn Patch.esp
Shouldn't it also be deactivated till i activate Helgen Reborn?

5. Trade & Barter
Loot says that the "Keld-Nar-Patch" is missing even though its showing in Loot right under Trade & Barter. Is this normal?

Last Question:
Everytime i add a mod, activate a plugin or deactivate a plugin i will rebuild the bashed patch. Should i do the same for Dyndolod? Because i activated helgen reborn for Dyndolod and now Loot says of course that Helgen Reborn is deactivated. I know what that means for the game: Disappearing or wrong Objects when i get closer.

Maybe you guys have a few answers for me ;) . I learned a lot about modding the last few days, mainly and thankfully because of this guide, and i hope to play skyrim with these mods in a stable version!

Thanks for this info. Going through some medical issues but will add a note to hide these patches (1-3). Will add landscape patch to deactivated list (4). Also will notate that the message about the keldnar patch can be ignored (5).

Thanks to all those that picked my slack and answered your questions!

I've reached the end of the install process, and everything's working great, so thanks again for the amazing guide. However, along the way there have been several mods which have caused CTDs on start menu or caused the game to fail to open:

-Simple Taxes (crash on startup, game does not even show Bethesda logo)
-Blowing in the Wind (crash on menu load)
-Common Clothing (caused the game to CTD on load until I disabled zzjay's Wardrobe CBBE Bodyslides, after which it did not cause CTD but instead caused missing bodies and textures)

After disabling each the game has loaded fine each time. This may just be a problem on my end.

Hmm, that's odd. I have used a couple of those mods in the past without issue, so I would assume it's some kind of mod conflict.

In this specific case I think it's best to wait a few days and let cfs handle this one. I am sure he will thank you for the feedback.

And congratulations on a heavily modded Skyrim.

I just finished redownloading and installing the full guide on a new MO2 instance and vanilla install of the game. I did not run into issues with those mods and played for a few hours yesterday without incident. I did notice that sometimes Nexus would botch the download and there would be corrupted data. I wonder of that may be part of the issue. If you have not started a playthrough yet I would appreciate if you would redownload and reinstall those mods and see if you still have issues.

For common clothes you did use three of the files? One of the textures, one of the esp's and the CBBE files? That one is very odd as it and ZZJays Wardrobe have no conflicts at all. I wonder if something went wrong with Bodyslide when you ran it?

Thanks though! Glad you found the guide useful and was able to track down the mods causing you issues. If after reinstalling the mods you still have issues could you share your modlist.txt and loadorder.txt files found in your MO2 profile folder.

Maybe the heavy nexus traffic during this lockdown has something to do with it?

[cfs111]

Yep, that is what I figured. Noticed that the larger the mod the more apt it was to have issues, i.e. Immersive Armors. Took me three tries before it downloaded correctly, kept getting corrupt data errors when MO attempted to extract it.

[Vlad 254]

ok then, need to maybe throw up a warning for the new folks. lord knows it's frustrating enough for them.

[Avrie]

Morning Charles

There was already an update to Raily's lava adding in the missing falling column textures. make sure you have the update

His Riekling overhaul is worthy as well

edit - I also just added Clevercharff's Sovngarde with the dark stone option. The "white" stone looked a little too snow elf to me, but the new textures look good

[cfs111]

Just added the Lava this morning so I got the update! Going to add the Reikling stuff in a bit. The guide already had Sovngarde textured by LoD7995 and am happy with that one. Thanks though! And keep the recommends coming!!

[Gordon_S. aka Peter Venkman]

I found another black face bug, Olfrid Battle-Born in Whiterun was affected by consistend older people (SPTConsistendOlderPeopleSSE.esp). I fixed it with your tutorial, it worked. But there was nothing in the output folder. Maybe CR edited the mod directly?!

[cfs111]

Must have. As long as he is fixed. Will check him in my game and add a note to the guide if i can replicate. Thanks!
