Thanks for the link...

I tried the new version as well but it wouldn't load when I tried to start it. Took me an hour to get back to where I was restoring the game files and putting my resolution back to normal.

Hi I hate to sound blank but how do a access the steam console? Mike

Hi Guys I finally found the solution. I was editing the .ini file in the Steam Directory. When I realized that it was having no effect on how the game opened I finally realized that, that .ini file wasn't the one that was controlling the game. I used Agent Ransack to look for Skyrim and .ini file on my Steam drive E:\ and then on C:\ and found another one in my Users file. Should have thought of that to start with. I edited the one in Users\Username\Documents\My Games and when I started the game is was in full UHD Wide Screen. I have to say that it looks great. I'm not sure what the mod did since it was a gigabyte in size so I assume it added some kind of visual enhancement. It's possible that all you need to do it edit the .ini file. Mike

Ok that fixed it and it downloaded but in only allowed my to get 2540 by 1440 resolution. Now I've got to find the one that lets me get 3440 by 1440. I'm having problems with that because I thought it said the download would do both. I tried again and I see that when it I click on Download to Vortex it says it's downloading the 2540 mod. How do I get it to download the 3440 mod? Sorry to keep bugging you guys but this is kind of a hassle.

I'm having problems with downloading things through Vortex, I never had problems with Mod Manger. But I tell it to download some file like the complete wide screen mod and nothing happens I look in Vortex and nothing show up. I did get Script Extender installed in Steam which it shows I need to do first. Now I'm trying to do the wide screen mod but nothing happens. I wish I could do this through Mod Manager. I'll try again after restarting.

Hi Guys Thanks for the input. I have all the games that I'm interested in playing now installed, even The Secret World installed and displayed correctly. The games all look great, but some of the older games don't look so up to date in this large a size. Skyrim is the only one that didn't offer higher resolutions, I'll try the mod. You have to see The Witcher 3 on this screen, unbelievable, it's like you are there. I was not sure about buying a curved monitor but it looks fantastic, you don't even think about the curve, it just makes everything look more 3D. I'll post some screen shots when I get a chance, now I'm transferring the stuff from my old computer to the new one. Mike

Hi I have a new computer but when I try and load Skyrim there is no option to set the Resolution to anything above 1920 by 1080. All of the other games that I've installed so far, (the Elder Scrolls Online, Conan Exiles and the Witcher 3 all work fine) work fine at the new resolution so I'm assuming there is a way to get Skyrim to do so as well. I noticed that Skyrim can't identify my graphic settings, I have a new Geforce RTX 2080 video card. So it set everything to low settings but when I loaded the game the image was so large that I couldn't navigate because most of the buttons weren't visible. This is weird I would think that the page would be too small, not too large. Any help appreciated Mike

Hi Where do I place the "Reshade" folder after I've downloaded it? I don't what to screw it up, and I don't see any readme file or instructions on the web Nexus page I downloaded it from. Mike

Hi The maps in this game drive me crazy. Here it an example, I suddenly got a quest on a timer that said I had to examine the corpses at a certain location. The indication was that it was north from my position but no indication as to where it was at. This is the example... http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff491/nohjekim/Witcher%20Map_zpspvrahe6s.jpg You can see that where he is standing appears to be a pathway, but there is no pathway there? The timer ran out while I still had no idea where to go. Mike

Hi Thanks for the info. I found Lydia, I just thought that maybe if there was a new Jarl there would be a new housecarl. I guess it's time to get the first expansion. I have all four of my companions in my house in Solitude and they are just sitting around waiting for something to do. LOL I'm pretty sure that I've done pretty much everything. I'm head of the College, the Thieves guild, The Companions, finished off the Big Dragon, eliminated the Assassins Guild, did some Bard quests. but that just kind of petered out, and I've freed Skyrim from the Imperials. I'll have to go back and look at the Bard's College, I don't think I finished that but it's not clear what I'm supposed to do. I don't have any Bard references in my Journal, in fact my Journal is almost empty now, and one of them I can't complete because of a glitch. Mike

Hi I finished the battle for Whiterun and then some other stuff. I went back to Whiterun and ran into the new Jarle. He said that if I had a house and did some things for the city he would make me a thane. I had already met the requirements so he made me a Thane of Whiterun again and said he was granting me a new housecarl. I can't seem to find any info about any Whiterun Housecarl except Lydia. Anyone know who the new one is, and where I can find him or her? I looked in Dragonsreach and at my house. Mike

Hi The console command worked, Lydia appeared with all of her equipment intact. Thanks again for the help. Mike

Hi Thanks I'll try the console commands. I've looked for her at all the normal places and I have AFT installed but I did it after I lost Lydia so she hasn't been invited after the install and doesn't seem to be included in it. The main reason I'm looking for her now was to include her in AFT. I no I told her to stay someplace but it was awhile ago and I must not remember correctly where I left her. Thanks for the help. Mike

Hi I thought I left Lydia in the house in Solitude, but later when I went back she isn't there. I know she's someplace because when I level I get a notice on the screen that says "Lydia is Leveling". Is there a way to locate her? A command I can type in to the console that will bring her to my location or something like that? Any suggestions welcome. Mike

AFT worked great and didn't change the way my characters looked plus I can get them both to follow at the same time now. Mike

Thanks for the help, I'll check out AFT, and I'll remove my visual mods open the game and save, activate the follower buff open and save then install my character changes and see what happens. Mike

Hi I have changed my followers appearance using NPC Editor. I recently installed the Ultimate Follower Overhaul which works great, but it changes all of my followers appearance back to the default. I tried reinstalling my appearance mods but they have no effect now when placed in the data folder. Anyone know how I can use my Appearance Mods and UFO at the same time? Any suggestions appreciated. Mike

Hi I've installed the Simple Multiple Follower mod several times but I can't get it to work. When I try and invite my second character the first one walks away. I don't get the "You seem to already have a follower" message the other one just turns and walks as soon as I invite the second one. It doesn't matter which order I do it in, the same thing happens either way. Anyone have any ideas? Mike

Hi I just re-installed Skyrim on my new computer. I'm trying to start a new game. When I get to the point in the character creation process where the first guy is supposed to get axed, the game doesn't advance. I don't mean it freezes, the characters are still moving around etc, I still have sound, I can move my view around but they just stand around and don't ax him. I can run the game if I load in one of my old saves, but I want to start a new character. Anyone know how to make it continue from this point? Mike

HI Thanks guys that's the one. It does only edit NPCs but I think it allows you to save them with a new name so that they are added to the world in a specified location. If you set them to be a companion profile they will join you as I remember. I know it will let you modify any of the normal companion characters in the game to be what ever you want, i.e. you can make Lydia look and act however you want. And I've changed the names and height, on some to the characters that I installed from other mods. I'm still setting up everything on my new computer, the game looks fantastic on my new 27" monitor and is very smooth at 144 Hz refresh rate. I have an nVidia 680 4 gig video card and the 3D kit. Once I get everything set up I'll try out the 3D. I'm leaving that for the last thing I do. Mike PS. got it downloaded thanks again.

Hi My old computer got hit by lightning. I have a new one and I just got Skyrim installed. I had an application that let you modify any game character, and create companions. You could select any character in the game from a list, an image of the character would show, and then you could modify pretty much everything. Appearance, skills default clothing etc. then you could rename it and create a new character. I can't find a place to download it now, and I don't remember exactly what it was called. Can anyone direct me to the site or link? Thanks for the help. Mike

Thanks for the information. I'll check it out in NPCEditor I think I can do that. This Mod Mini.esp is not the normal kind of mod, I'm just getting the hang of this so I'm not sure how this works but when you install this mod, "I downloaded it here at Nexus" you don't recruit the character. The next time you log in she just shows up, where ever you are she runs up to you and stands starring up at you, (She's short) and after that she just follows you around. She can summon the fire Atronachs and use a bow. She can be injured, but doesn't die, and she can't be interacted with other then then saying some random things once in a while. She doesn't carry anything or be told to wait or leave. But she doesn't interfere with other companions she's just follows along and fights when you need her. Here's the link... http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=6905 I haven't gotten into the creation kit yet, that's next, I want to be able to use specific textures that I create on specific characters and I don't think I can do that in NPCEditor. But I assume I could do this in the creation kit. I also wonder if I can create my own voice files for the standard dialog for a specific character? I have a very good English Female voice I can use. I'd like to record a set of speech files. Mike

Hi Again I have a couple of friends playing, one of whom also has the MIni mod. He hasn't gotten to the quest to kill the bride yet, I'll have him watch to see if the same thing happens to him. I posted before that I have had the Mini character go missing with other characters I'm playing, I couldn't get her to restart no matter what I did. Even deleting the mod completely then downloading and re-installing it. As was true this time, if I went back to an earlier save where she existed she would be there as she was originally so it wan't that the mod had quite working. But I never did the Wedding quest so I don't know if the same thing happened. I just never found her again. The bandit thing did coincide with Lyma disappearing. I also remembered that Lyma started talking about the execution after visiting Solitude for the first time, She never talked about it until we walked in and witnessed it. I thought that was pretty strange too. So you may be right, somehow the original character Mini may have been created based on a character from Solitude and going there triggered her to start doing the things the original character was programs to do. So when she got done she came back and joined my group again. Actually pretty neat!!! Mike

Hi I have a 2 year old Falcon NE Talon. I7 at 3 Ghz. 8 Gigs fast ram, ATI Radeon 5870 video card. I can run Skyrim with the HD graphics pack and everything set to max, even shadows and run a stead 60 frames per second. I have Vsync turned on so it's limited to that. My friend just bought a new Talon with a new I5 processor and 16 gigs of ram and it runs faster then mine. it cost about 1,500 dollars. If you can build you own I'd check out the components on their site and see what they are using to put them together. You could build something similar and save a few bucks.
