NextWorldVR Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I found my 167th mod with ZERO INSTRUCTIONS OF ANY KIND in the description. Another way to say that: I have never once found a MOD with instructions! I have 45 mods running and no idea how to change anything! BUT This one I need to change because that's why I got it. Anyone know what cryptic, secret unknown info one needs to make this thing darken the scene? THANKS!! Why do they NEVER GIVE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DESCRIPTION?? I can't spend my life reading 200 pages forums to get a single key command! !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 not sure if you are talking about the Skyrim or New Vegas version (or other games , if it exists on other games)but the mod has very detailed instructions on how to use itfor the Skyrim version , Gopher has made a nice video about it , which explains how it works (or at least how it worked at that time , not sure if works the same way today) . you can find it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__AjiwdtuxU if you could please post a link to the mod you are looking at , because what I saw had very clear instructions on how to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextWorldVR Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Hello! I mean for Skyrim Special Edition , I see a lot of info, 'what it is' 'what does it do' 'a brief history lesson' (?) All it says about how to use it, is that it has an: 'Easy-to-talk-to 'Magic-Man-Menu' WHAT IS THAT??!??!?! here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4577/ I :smile: Look at the page with fresh eyes like someone who has no idea about it, a new Sky Rim player,. would be as I am , CLUELESS about how to use a lighting mod,.. ? There is a section called: 'how to use' but it says NOTHING ABOUT 'how to use it'!! HOW TO USE:The HELPER returns with corrected code! I always preferred the HELPER to MCM, personally, since the changes you'd make with him were visible immediately in-game. And so, without MCM in SSE, it seemed only reasonable to resurrect him and put him back into the service of helping you make the most wonderful Skyrim you can - without need of outside tools like RESHADE or ENB...... and with ZERO performance loss." WHO IS THIS 'HIM'?? WHAT???!?! Right?? Am I nuts here, or does that say nothing to a new user except it is inaccessible and unusable.. If I have to spend hours researching something for a GAME, (MCM? as opposed to "Helpers" and how it relates to 'lighting' with 'Reshade' and 'ENB'??) then I will put that energy towards making MY OWN games at NextWorldVR! :smile: Games should be fun,.. It's not fun to have to post questions like this about things that should be self explanatory! :smile: IT says something about a 'spell' but I have never done that, you don't get spells early in the game! How would I automatically know how o even where to do all that? It should have steps by steps with real info, every Mod I have seen is just like this, 7 pages of 'info' but no real information... UPDATE: i HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO ACCESS him (LITERALLY A PERSON THAT STOPOD THERE FOR SOME REASON WHILE i WENT THROUGH THE MENU :) but WHEN i WOULD CHOOSE A lIGHTING pRESET, nothnig changed in the scne (i COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT,.) OOOPS SORRY CASPS, To tired from fighting 'mods' that don't qwrk (for me at least) to retype,. :) Any help is appreciated, I am new to gaming, even though I have ANIMATED CHARACTERS for games for 25 years :) Edited August 20, 2018 by NextWorldVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 the description itself actually does tell you how to use the mod It allows you to separately control visual elements like Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Sky Brightness, Sunlight Output, Bloom and Tint all from within an easy-to-navigate HELPER.You will be able to SUMMON the HELPER from a SPELL that is placed in your arsenal upon startup of the mod. Call him forth and behold! Control of your visual world.so obviously you need to learn and cast the spell to summon the helper , and simply talk to them as for presets and all , I haven't seen any mention of it not working for other userscan't comment personally as I've never tried this tool . I just remember seeing Gopher's videos regarding it point is , I feel like you are getting overly upset for no reason . so please calm down and go over the description againI'm sure you'll see the instructions which are clearly written thereif for some reason an aspect of your game still doesn't work properly (for example , you can't apply a preset) I would suggest making a polite comment on the mod's page asking for assistanceexplain (again calmly and politely) what the issue is , what you've tried and what happened , and hopefully someone that knows the mod will be able to help youdo note that the whole angry ALL CAPS approach isn't going to work . it's just liable to annoy people , which means they won't spend time trying to help you . so keep that in mind ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
