How do I measure FPS? MFG console? I took all those mods out (per the above list) and ran the clean save point. The fan is going, but it's barely warm, not like before, and the system doesn't feel laggy. I still have the clean save to test, though, to be sure. That's without the HiAlgoBoost...I want to benchmark the clean save first, then the clean save with HiAlgoBoost. Those tests I'll run tomorrow and post the results. Just tell me how to do them. And I almost took Better Dialogue Controls out until I remembered, it doesn't add to the game, just allows you to use the mouse to click on dialogue.

I've done the install-from-scratch twice in the last three days. I've run the ENBoost from Modding Beginner's Guide. I should have said ENBoost in the beginning, my mistake. The point is: DOES NOT WORK. If it's videocard deterioration, then I'm !@#$%^ anyway. I have no problem getting rid of some of the mods on that list. The Optimized Vanilla Textures mods seem to have the opposite effect on my computer, and I still haven't figured out why the help command refuses to work. I could pare down the mod list further, and this should just about do it. If I can't run it after this, then there is no hope on this computer. I'm still debating on HiAlgoBoost...Oh, hell, I would probably have that, too, just to try to reduce strain on my system.

ShowRaceMenu with Precache Killer Dawnbreaker II (a private mod from GrandBulwark that upped the damage of the Dawnbreaker by like 5) Bashed Patch, 0.esp How much of a strain would the remaining mods really put on my system? There's not a lot there, especially if CBBE is set to Low-Res in the installation. I would like to try to get away with Hearthfires Multiple Adoptions and the Enhanced Character Edit. The Hearthfires one doesn't add much considering it just changes the tags of what is already there. The ECE, though, I'm not sure of. I'm not even going to mention Convenient Horses...And would I even need the skeleton with any of these? If not, that would be one more that could go.

I've run more than ninety mods at one point, inclucing Climates of Tamriel with Minty's Lightning Mod and Real Shelter. I had all the above mods at that time. Now, however, it wants to crack. As far as ENB goes, I've gone round and round with ENB with tony971, along with the whole Sheson's Memory Patch, DDSopt, and everything else, and that very negative experience makes me avoid them like the Bubonic Plague. If I can't run texture mods, fine, but if I can't run mods that add more material to the game, such as lands, story lines, and whatnot, then what is the point of playing? I could play the b.s. version and be bored on my PS3. That will just have meant that I wasted $40 on the pc version, along with hundreds of hours of trying to get it to work. I want to know what changed since I was running all the same mods before, but ever since playing with that stupid !@#$%^ ENB and skse.ini from the Modding Beginner's Guide, I've had nothing but instability and CTDs as far as the eye can see. I don't want a game that looks like a damned cartoon, and that's exactly what happens when you lower the resolution or mess with the shadow settings in the configurator. So unless I can figure out something quick, I'm done playing skyrim for a very long time as I do not have the money for even 2GB of RAM for my laptop. Yes, I am that broke, with no future in sight. Skyrim is pretty much the only joy I have aside from my fiancee, who is 7000 miles away right now. So, I gues, thanks, but no thanks. That's the end of skyrim for me.

Update: Painstakingly reinstalled everything but the optimized textures mods on NMM. Still crashes. Uninstalled Audio Overhaul, crashed at the logo. Uninstalled Immersive Sounds Compendium, crashed at the load screen. ~!@#$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am literally moments from smashing my laptop and calling it quits forever! Nothing I am running works, and no mods I am running should be causing this big of a !@#$%^ headache! HiAlgoBoost is not going to stop crashing at the load screen. Moreover, I used the Skyrim Configurator mod, and I dialed back the shadows, the resolution and anything else I could to help, and nothing works. So either, there are mods conflicting that I don't know about (Nothing showing in LOOT or WryeBash) or I am just destined to be forever stuck with this @!#$%^&. I'm so pissed off right now I can't even see straight. I AM WILLING TO PAY SOMEONE TO OPTIMIZE THOSE MODS FOR ME!!!

Yes, but will HiAlgoBoost work on my paltry system? I tried it once before with no results...I mean, is that mod list really that bad? I didn't think I was asking too much of my system with the handful of mods I want to run. As for removing shadows, is there a way to reduce them drastically without eliminating them entirely? And how do I reduce, and what is, draw distance? I'm getting the configurator, too, thanks!

WARNING: This thread contains references to mods that are NSFW. Also, this is kind of lengthy, so I apologize ahead of time. Background Information: The System: IBM-Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E350 Intel i5-3230M Quad-Core @ 2.6 GHz 4GB Ram (3.58GB available) Intel HD-4000 Graphics Approx. Total Memory: 1,638 MB Display: 1366 x 768 (32-bit) 60Hz Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OS All drivers up-to-date The Game: Legal copy of Skyrim Legendary Edition (of course) The Problem: Well, besides the fact that I am rather dumb (the avatar is not meant for irony, here. It's a warning), I have tried to mod Skyrim, following such things as Modding Beginner's Guide by tony971, and Skyrim Stability Project by GrandBulwark, along with Gopher's Machiavellian videos on YouTube (Machiavellian to me. By viewing my avatar, you agree that you were fairly warned). So I was able to run about 90 plugins or so, including some adult animation ones which I no longer bother with, having gotten bored with the novelty. I've experienced CTDs, broken saves, Matrix-like slow downs of NPCs (which makes for great theatrics, but not really great playability), stuttering, and even console failure. Impossible, I know--I've heard it all before, but there it is. The "help" command in the console refuses to work no matter how many ways I write it out. Example: help lydia. help lydia 0. help "lydia" 0. And other iterations. All result in the Filters: 0-..., 1-..., 2-... etc pop up. Page Up and Page down do nothing. I've run as high as 90 plugins before, but the game would always get so glitchy by the mid 30s levels that it becomes unplayable (I've yet to be able to play past level 35 because of that), with constant CTDs. I've pared down the mod list to what I want the most, and without these, I might as well not even play it on the computer and just stick to my PS3. I've tried the ENBoost, and the SKSE.ini to unlock Sheson's Memory Patch, and none of it works for me, resulting in my frustration, and that of the Vampire Dante, Millenia, and MotoxxScorpioxx as I annoy the chatroom mods and guests with my ignorant questions because I am...say it with me...A MORON when it comes to modding. And no, I don't have enough money to upgrade to a better computer, or build one myself. I am stuck with my laptop. Thus, being on the verge of rage-quitting my favorite game forever, I've decided to submit myself to the public forum, risking ridicule I'm sure, and ask for your help in determining the following: 1. The correct load order, if it is wrong, for these mods I've listed; 2. Anything that will help save VRAM and boost performance while making it more efficient; 3. A setup that will help me play the game completely through with a minimum of fuss I'm not asking for immortality, here, just playability so I can enjoy my game. That's all.

And yes, I have a clean save that is CLEAN. I understand that my system is underpowered, but I am not trying to run a lot of mods. Just these. If there are others that would make my system use its resources more efficiently (like Remove That Grass), I would love to know that, too. I apologize for the length of this post, truly. I want to be as thorough as possible, though, because I really don't understand what is going on, and don't know what information someone might need to be able to tell me, hey, dummy, you have to change this. Thank you ahead of time for your patience. twowolves80

Judassem: Found the way to do it. If you want to download something, download it manually as a zip file, then open MO, and click on the little icon in the top left corner that looks like a cd in front of a box. It will open a dialogue box asking you to open a file. Just point it to the zip file you just downloaded no matter where it downloads to (most people leave the default location as their Downloads folder). Worked for me. I finally got CBBE installed.

When I try to install a new mod from an archive, the masters are shot. The BodySlideOutFitStudio, for instance, doesn't want to set a data directory, no matter how many times I right-click it and select Set Data Directory. TES5 seems to place files in the overwrite folder, too, when I run it (a folder called TES5Edit Backups)...I had to import CBBE from NMM to get it to install, and wound up with the MO not recognizing the version number, so I get the harmless ! in the triangle next to it in the downloads tab. (Couldn't tell you how I did it, either, or do it again if my life depended on it! lol)

Hi. I just got done following the tutorial to install mod organizer (Modding Beginner's Guide), and everything was moving along. I was installing all my mods, and then I got to CBBE. When I tried to download it, it kicked back an error message, saying the server denied the download and said it was a 202 error. Although I am not sure it is material to the problem at hand, I have two error messages in MO, which keeps putting files in the overwrite area that are not mods: Tools, Scripts, Meshes, Docs. I don't know how that happened, but it occured when I installed FNIS for a certain 18+ animation that shall remain unamed. I can't figure out why CBBE won't download, though, and I need the CBBE body for several other mods. Please help!

XD lol Meanwhile, back at the Legion of Doom...(mwa ha ha ha...)

How about starting with small stuff first to kind of reflect how the people of Tamriel are slowly integrating the Dwemer technology? That's more realistic. Stuff like stoves, hot water heaters, working toilets, sinks--practical stuff--with the occasional oddball scientist who swears he's invented a way to fly to the moon on an airship, but it never really works. People would adopt stuff that has immediate use first, but you could also have schools spring up where there are people working to reverse engineer the technology, sort of like in the Wheel of Times series where Rand did that.

Has anyone come up with an answer for this because I get the same thing.

Can someone tell me plainly where the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe file is located? I cannot find it, even though I have the FNIS mod. Can't find anything that tells me how to use it or where it is on the forums, no help in chat, and nothing on Google. The next step is going to be to take a sledgehammer to the laptop, and then I won't have to worry about it anymore.

Hi, guys. Don't yell, but I am at a complete loss as to how to get several adult mods to run together through the Nexus Mod Manager. I know for sure it's something I am doing, but I don't yet have the experience tinkering with mods to figure out what exactly is happening and going wrong. I am trying to run the following mods together (so please tell me if they are incompatible, though I have tried to filter out those that clearly say they are): Animated Prostitution FNIS Behavior v. 5.1.1 and v. 5.0.2 4uDIKs Real Body Calientes Beautiful Bodies Dimonized UNP Female Body (skinny and main bodies) Nude Males v. 0.4 Now, I have no idea how to access the slider tools for the Calientes mod, or the others, as I am using the Nexus Mod Manager. I have tried installing these mods in different orders, tweaking the Animated Prostitution Mod's settings (selecting 4uDIKs and the FNIS options, as well as no to the BBC install option, since I have the Dimonized version), all to no avail. What ends up happening is that there is a silhouette of flaccid genitalia on the males surrounded by odd black patches where the texture maps haven't taken hold. I cannot get them to show erect no matter what I've tried (since I don't know what I'm doing in the first place), and a lot of times, the script breaks and the males will stand there, or will sort of "merge" with my character and not do anything. I stopped using the Adult Show XXX mod because it is incompatible with the Animated Prostitution mod, though I would love to find a way to merge the two while eliminating conflicts. Also, I would like to know how to call up the tool sliders and whatnot as shown in the Dimonized and Calientes mods so I can tweak the appearance of the textures. Please help!
