Not necessary. There would be no modding without us helping each other.

Test the meshes in another cell that you create.

Home and Pro, which is what I imagine most people had, only have 24-mo support after release. Anyway, my point was to give OP heads-up that primary components will soon be going next-gen and that might interest him as he plans for a new build.

Thing is, if you are going to use Windows, and building a new pc with the clock ticking on support for the current iteration, then it makes sense to get the latest version on a new pc where you'll get 10 yrs of support and/or updates. As it stands now, MS is no longer providing support for 11. Yes, you can "upgrade" if you are ok with that. Also, there is an advantage to having Intel's latest cpu when building an expensive gaming pc if you are the kind of user that keeps your pc for their full lifespan (particularly if money isn't the main concern).

Have you tried deleted these meshes and then adding "fresh" untouched meshws back in. This time don't optimize to see what happens. Blary's meshes are quite old so you may have trouble with that, but it may be worth trying out and then taking it from there. Do you have nifscope up and running? Also, what do these look like in the CK?

Where did you get those meshes? They may not be optimized for SE. SSE NIF Optimizer at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

In case it is something you wish to consider, Intel is supposed to launch their next-gen cpu end of yr as is Nvidia releasing their next-gen gpu. Windows 12 is likewise launching this yr. I'm also in need of new pc, but will likely be waiting for next gen hardware--especially since I tend to keep pcs for a long time.

@HollownessDevoured Perhaps those special Eclipse glasses will work for us?

Yes, I attempted to use the EDGE extension. Recoloring the website would indeed be fairly complicated as I learned (but may make a go of it again once everything is done here). Nexus has already said that there won't be a change to their current theme direction and they've remained mute on whether there will be any Nexus options for something different. It was suggested that we use a browser extension to implement our own custom choices.

I absolute love that every website detailing the best accessibility guidelines in fact use black fonts on white background on THEIR website!

If the actual date is of interest, you can place you curser on it and the date will be revealed.

Unless you sit in brightly lit rooms while viewing dark websites (I don't and probably most don't) the human eye dilates quite a bit looking at dark-mode (black backgrounds). What happens when your eyes dilate? It is harder to see fonts. People with common eye disorders, such as myopia, additionally experience a bleeding effect with the light fonts against the black background which make it difficult to read. These things should also fall under the concept of ACESSIBILITY but are not really considered much since those with these conditions are not impaired to the extent of those who are legally blind with major eyesight impairment. Even so, those with other types of visual challenges have legitimate concerns about this and if there is a way to offer choices in the color schemes for reading this website, I hope that Nexus will do it.

Since Nexus needed to do a website redesign, the change in colors may have more to do with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and UK accessibility guidelines then just arbitrariness on the part of the website designers.

@HollownessDevoured Maybe so. I was working on it yesterday when I suddenly started getting some kind very weird problem that prevents me from accessing threads. I click on a thread and get taken to a single random post in that thread. In other words, can't view the whole topic. The post is also with white background devoid of any website formatting. I'll probably have to uninstall EDGE and reinstall it to see about correcting this. Turning Stylebot off didn't correct the problem. When I switched to Firefox, no problem. So I know the problem is with my EDGE. Of course the best solution is to give options to those with Accessibility needs and those who need something other than the blackhole-look. I'm hoping we get an answer on Nexus' capability to do that as I asked about it yesterday.
