Are there any mods out there that fix the issue of the horizon not really matching with the landscape? Like, I'm around High Hrothgar and looking north, and the sky doesn't really really cleanly meld with the sea up north.

Check your Skyrim directory for the Creation Kit application. Creation Kit should share the same directory as your Skyrim main game files, or otherwise it cannot locate the .esm.

Never mind. Have managed to find my own solution.

Did you specify a target for the healing effect in the script? Either way, post it.

Okay, different problem than what I had before. Using getplayercurrentammo seems to work, but the problem is that whenever I switch ammo types, the clipsize setting does not always match up to the ammotype that I want to pair it with.

EDIT: Never mind, licked the problem.

So what I've been working on these past few weeks is a mod that would sort of overhaul how poisons work in New Vegas. It also combines aspects of the Poisoner Perk and Poisoned Darts mod, albeit with some additional functionality. So far, I've got the dart system sorted out, as well as most of the "Poison Injection" perk... sorta. I also need to finalize creation of form lists, etc... Aside from the usual NVSE requirement, it also needs the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC to operate, primarily because it uses some resources from that mod. However, I'm willing to release a version that does not use those resources, if necessary. To give you an idea of what the mod would be like: Basically, the poison system would be broken down into three forms of delivery: The dip-your-melee-weapon-and-slash-'em varietyThe shoot-them-with-special-ammunition varietyThe sneak-up-and-stick-it-in-their-neck variety Each form of delivery would have its pros and cons. The first is easy and has a fairly long duration, but lacks any of the special stealth effects associated with the other methods. The second is easy, safe and is more effective when done as a sneak attack, but has much shorter duration compared to other methods. The third is the most effective of all and has the longest duration, but can only be performed steathily (sneak up to target and press the activate key, must have an empty syringe in inventory) and requires a perk to do so. The poisons themselves have also been changed to further usefulness, or to fit a certain niche: Silver Sting works pretty much the same as before, except that the damage is now drawn out over a longer period. It cannot be put into a syringe or a dart. Bleak Venom has the damage drawn out over a longer period as well. However, direct injection through either syringes or darts will have a high chance of inflicting cardiac arrest, causing severe damage to the chest and possibly even paralyzing the target. Tremble works more or less the same as before, except that direct injection through either syringes or darts can cripple a target's arms. Mother Darkness works very much differently than before. It has a greater and more intense damage effect than before, in addition to a movement-slowing effect. Direct injection through either syringes or darts can cause devastating damage to a target's limbs, as well as their ability to perceive. New poison that I have added: Sleeper is basically a sedative. It makes targets drowsy and given enough time or a high enough dosage, will put them to sleep. Direct injection makes it more likely that only one syringe or dart will be needed. Now at this point in time, I'm just about done with the first phase of the mod, and will release it in maybe a week. Second phase would involve creating some gas weapons, which may probably require Dead Money DLC to some degree. If I ever get that far, the third phase would add on a few more poisons, some ingredients like nightstalker poison glands, and maybe other delivery methods. However, I have a few concerns I want to get sorted out before I put up the first iteration of the mod. For starters, I need some way of making it so that getting hit with poison from either method will cause a character to become hostile to you, except in the case where they get brought down instantly (whether by Sleeper or death). I feel as if my numbers are a little excessive or that my scripts are a bit leaky, although I guess I can't know for sure until I get some playtesting done by others. I'm also wondering whether or not I should have some sort of poison sorting/classification system so as to better organize different poison effects; just a sort of aesthetic thing, really. It'd also be nice if I can get some ideas for some poisons and ingredients to include, and what kind of effect that it'll have; I'm already planning to make a gas weapon based on Cloud residue, a knife with a radioactive blade, and Nightstalker poison glands. There might be more that I need help with, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Thank you, thank you. I was planning to use GetCombatTarget, but I had some misgivings that it could possibly backfire.

Okay, but how do I make the script use the references provided by the perk's Activate Choice?

Take some inspiration from the Dunwich building. Use very few enemies, and take full advantage of "pick up item-OH MY GOD WHAT'S THAT SCREECH OH s#*! THERE'S A REAVER BEHIND ME". No companions. Heck, if possible, I'd make it so that the Pip Boy radio doesn't work. And if you turn on one of the radios inside... Instill an atmosphere of unnerving, creeping wrongness. Doors that open on their own; a skeleton suddenly dropping from the ceiling, with some signs of movement on an upper level. Areas where there is almost no sound or even environmental music at all. VATS and perception detection failing to work properly.

How can I make a "perk Activate Choice" option transition into a Message screen with button options? *EDIT* Just going to expand on what I've said here. Basically, I want the Activate Choice option for a perk to switch over to a message screen with button options, and the way that would work is that each of those button options will apply an effect on a target similar to the robot shutdown or cannibalism effects.

It's more that the 1st solution neatly covers both queries. That being said, I'm wondering if I could apply that to reverse-pickpocketing of a poison...

First one was exactly what I was looking for, thanks. For those who are interested on what I was working on, here's the block: Ref SleeperTarget Begin ScriptEffectStart Set SleeperTarget to GetSelf If (SleeperTarget.GetIsCreatureType 6 != 1) SleeperTarget.damageav fatigue 25 If (SleeperTarget.GetLastHitCritical == 1) SleeperTarget.damageav fatigue 150 Endif Endif End In a nutshell, the way this would work is that if you score a critical hit or sneak critical hit on a non-robotic target, they'll go down in a hurry. However, if you fail to score a critical hit... well, they'll go down eventually, but not as quickly as you'd like.

Alright, so two questions: One, how may I make it so that a weapon with a scripted fatigue damage effect is more effective on a critical, and Two, how may I integrate it into a script that applies fatigue for a specific type of ammunition?

First off, I'm just wondering whether or not anyone else has been annoyed by this as much as I was. The issue I'm speaking of is the fact that the college is the fact that the main foyer of the Bard College looks as bright at night as it does during the daytime. I experimented with several different lighting mods, but got no positive results. It took opening up the Creation Kit to specifically tinker with the light sources to finally come up with a solution to my problem. So now I have three questions: First, is anyone else interested in a mod for this? and Second, are there any mods that already fix this? and finally, Third, can anyone else name similar issues with interior lighting?

Okay, plan B. How do I make package items in the Creation kit? Like how you could buy a box of .223 ammunition in New Vegas and it would turn into 100 rounds of .223 ammo?

How can I make it so that I can use the "Economics of Skyrim" mod to actually make a profit by buying items cheaply and selling them for profit in another hold?

I predict a sharp increase in the number of immolated horses.

Because it scared the s*** out of me, that's why. I don't even feel like reopening the game right now.

So I was in the Riverwood Trader on a fresh save when after buying a few items from the shopkeep, I exited the trade window. Then I heard him say "Well, time to close the shop". The ENTIRE shop went dark, as in all the light sources basically just disappeared. When I exited the trade window, I was looking at Camilla sitting at her usual spot by the fire. She was staring back at me and her eyes were a solid red. I alt-tabbed out and shut down the game immediately.

Enhanced Corpse Harvesting Basically, what I am proposing here is to either add some sort of perk or ability that allows corpses of any time to be more thoroughly harvested for ingredients. This is different from simply altering drop values because it would be a good deal more selective, since a character who wouldn't normally brew potions and poisons would not likely bother with ripping out a human heart for sale. What would happen is that unlocking the ability or perk will allow you to take more off of certain creatures than usual. It could take the form of some sort of ability (like Vampire feeding) or a perk that simply makes those items more available. In any case, here's three proposed permutations of this basic idea: amount of ingredients that you can take is influenced by the level of your Alchemy skill. So if you have 20 Alchemy, you would have something like a 1.05x multiplier (since default is 15) to your chances of grabbing ingredients. As your Alchemy skill gets higher, you not only get more ingredients but are also more likely to grab rarer ones as well. This would probably be a supplement to an unlockable perk or ability. an ability like vampire feeding where approaching some or all corpses would give you the option of checking their inventory normally or extracting extra stuff from them. This would probably require some sort of perk in the Alchemy tree, status effect (like Vampirism), or is unlocked by certain quests/items. a perk that increase the drop chances of certain ingredients, especially ones which ordinarily would not be dropped at all. It would either be present in the Alchemy skill tree or unlocked by certain quests/items. Vampire Feeding This one is relatively simple. Make it so that vampires can feed off of human hearts and flesh in order to sate their blood thirst. Just so that this doesn't completely replace regular feeding, eating hearts and flesh may have a lesser effect or certain drawbacks. Could possibly be further expanded by allowing vampires to make these items into blood potions that also grant buffs like an increased resistance to fire. Specialty Bonus Buff What I am suggesting here is to make it so that choosing a certain number of perks from skill trees in either the Thief, Warrior, or Mage nebulae will grant a permanent passive bonus to some attributes. For example, if you have about 20 perks distributed in any way among the Destruction, Alteration and Illusion trees, you would receive a passive bonus called "Magicka Adept" which increases your magicka pool by 20 points, magicka regeneration by 2%, and increases all magical damage dealt by 5% while increasing magical resistance by 5%. Having a total of 45 perks put into Magicka skills would grant the "Arcane Master" passive bonus, which increases magicka pool by 50 points, magicka regeneration by 5%, and all magical damage and resistance by 10%. Basic Dualcast Buff Dual-cast Flames causes the burn duration to last twice as long, dual-cast Frostbite causes enemies to move even slower, and dual-cast Sparks doubles magicka drain. All dual-cast abilities have slightly longer ranges than normal, which applies for all spells with range.

I've spent the last week downloading mods more often than I have been playing the game. It was the same for Fallout 3. Has this happened to anyone else before?

First glance tells me that maybe both of your Lucky 38 mods are interfering with each other. Try disabling one.

Title is completely self explanatory. If there isn't, how may I go about doing it?

What an astonishing coincidence. I would have never thought of it.
