Why fix something that's not broke? Please keep the old design up for option as it is clean and simple and makes browsing easy.

Did you run FNIS? only reason I say this is because only times I have ever heard of t-poses is due to animation mods and FNIS not being ran and or installed. If your computer was weak it would CTD.

Skyrim is a game for entertainment but some how due to its popularity money has been the skeleton in the closet. Most people who I see who mod do it for entertainment and just with to share. Creation club to me seems like a money grab for all the wrong reasons.

T pose is usually from animation mods that were installed and you don't have FNIS.

Not really accurate but ok.... Oldrim as people like to call it works just fine my current load order I have is 208 mods and 243 plugins and no CTD perhaps learning about how to run mod is the answer. SE is ok but it is not the holy grail nor is loot learning how to run mods is the best advice take time and learn you will thank me later then you can take full advantage of 50,000 plus mods here who knows how many on other forum. This is where to start if you really want to learn. copy and paste hot link seem to not work but the author of the page is trusted and used by many. good luck

I was worried that would still be the case. Maybe if someone would make an identical clone of her that would appear after finishing the Dawnguard quests, and fix the bug for the clone. That way, we shouldn't have to worry about breaking the story-line. I think a lot of problems stems from her unique follower file as at certain times she cannot be dismissed.. I use AFT however I only use her follower dialog "come with me" never try to change her with any follower system it never works out. Then i give her all new armor and get rid of the dwarven dagger she has.... Oddly it helps. I only really use her after Dawn-guard quest line is done as a follower. I have found once I start Dawn-guard just keep with it and only do Dawn-guard till it is done it seems less a lot less buggy.

Similar to her asking "what do you need" all the time.. Serana is a bugged NPC probably the most bugged in Skyrim. And no never heard of a fix for her the attempts I have seen of messing with her breaks her and her quests.

So here is the bigger question you should ask is all bandits re-spawn aka what they look like face gen including what type they are ect.. you do relies if you marry one the odds are in ten game day he/she will be different looking right?

I run both and both are fine depends if you can get a stable running game with the older version and/or can run the new version. The big difference is the available mods 54,000 mods for the older version nexus alone vs 8,000 new some will never be ported due to the age of mods and also mod authors "retiring". My self I like the older version if you take the time and learn how to have a stable game it is still a top tier game and has to numerous of possibles to even count. hope this helped happy gaming :)

First time this is where you want to start if you really want to learn how to have a stable game and add mods https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE7DlYarj-DdhDG41roBVJfNCqvO5MmKP Gopher videos are legendary and a must watch it will save you lots of questions and save you from lots of headaches.

Vilja is beyond large and DLC size no doubt about it she basically can go start to finish with your player as she has dialog for most if not all quests as well as a large assortment of quest she has. Rigmor of Bruma is also very well done it will pull you in and make you want to finish her quest. Sofia the funny is also a very well done mod much like Vilja she has a very large vocabulary and is quest aware no real quests but is a great follower. Arissa the wandering rouge is yet another well done mod .

Dragons reach is one of those places that puts a big pull on CPU power and memory... try entering through the dungeon aka jail... there is lots of scripts involved in at Dragons reach lots of textures and often many people CTD happens a lot when Delphine is there again lots of memory usage.

Logistics and environmental issues do factor into warfare and sieges in Skyrim, that said, the Nords, as a people, are used to fighting with each other and against common enemies in such an environment. I think the real stalemate of the civil war has less to do with the environmental and logistical issues and more to do with the insurgency/heart-and-minds aspect. Militarily, the Empire could likely surge more forces into Skyrim in an attempt to overwhelm and defeat the rebellion, but there is the concern (sometimes voiced by Nordic soliders in the Legion) that such a move would simply add more fuel to the Stormcloak fire. Many holds and people in Skyrim, as you noted, simply want to be left alone. A forceful and overbearing move by the Empire could easily persuade many of them to join the Stormcloak camp, which is what the Empire is trying to avoid. Bandits are, and always have been an issue, in Skyrim and though out Tamriel. But to suggest that they are a real threat to the government forces (of the Empire, the Stormcloaks, or any of the individual holds) is inaccurate and unrealistic. If you want to play a mod where they level up and get ridiculous armor and weapons, that's your call. Me personally, I don't think its realistic or lore-friendly that they be carrying high-level armor/weapon sets or that they should be able to defeat guard/army NPC's. In fact, i think it should be the opposite where the bandits are barely scraping by and carry low-end stuff while the guards/army NPC's should be allowed access to better gear. But that's a personal choice for each player to make. As for there being a 3rd option where all "factions" leave Skyrim to the people, that's basically the same as letting the Stormcloaks win. Skyrim has always had a system of semi-independent Holds which was subject to a high king's rule through a feudal relationship. Jarl Elisif would never be taken seriously as Skyrim's ruler, with or without the Empire's backing. So if you want an option where a high king rules over the Jarls and Holds of an independent Skyrim, Ulfiric and the Stormcloaks are the best option and closest option that brings you to that reality. There is no reason to believe bandits are weak and ill equipped quite the opposite most would be ex-soldiers, mercs, hunters, and mages who have seen their fair share of combat. Look around Skyrim White-run is surrounded by bandit camps the Jarl has done nothing about because he cant same with many holds. Also no reason to believe only the "Dragon-born or soldiers" should be the only ones allowed leveled weapons that is just does not make sense even vanilla camps have boss chests that may spawn dadric or dragonbone equipment so clearly they have them. If it is available in game it should be able to be used by all JMO. As far as leaving the civil war alone is like letting the Storm-cloaks to win does not make sense either.. they can't win nor can the Empire hence the stale-mate and your involvement both sides need help to turn the tide in their favor ...and oddly enough most of the time they want you to clear bandit camps because they cannot.. Ulfric will slaughter his own people just to gain power and Tulis is just a lackey for the Empire who cares nothing for Skyrim...Hence I leave it be

If you do a play-through without doing the main quest of being Dragonborn and try to be immersive.. "Via mods of course" ... It becomes interesting. I play a leveled character meaning everyone levels with me friend or foe also with Frost-fall and Last seed. What becomes clear is the stalemate in the civil war and why... Skyrim is very very harsh. There is a reason why the Dominion, Imperials, and Storm-cloaks do little about each other. Think immersive... supplies are a real issues as is the extreme cold one just cannot walk Skyrim without a real plan "much like the invasion the French tried in Russia". Also there is no reason to believe bandits are push overs quite the opposite as they would have some of the best gear due to raids and plundering caravans. Currently my game bandits can have Dadric weapons and often ebony armor they are more than capable of talking on any patrol Storm-cloak, Imperial and Dominion. This is why Skyrim is left as it is even after the great war it is to big and far to harsh to be ruled by one faction..enter the nine hold of Skyrim left to rule them-selves. Besides that if one walks around Skyrim and talks to people and reads books it becomes clear people just want to be left alone without outside influence ..for the most part. I wish there was a third option of booting all factions and leave Skyrim to the people. I currently leave it alone I do not agree with either side both are equally wrong for many reasons... I also believe much like Hammerfell Skyrim is unconquerable by the Damion or anyone else.

I played without any mods for almost the full 20 hours I can bear that boring heap of shite. It crashed twice. I suggest you get your stuff together. Anyway, your comments is completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Of course Skyrim runs great never any issues ever ..my mistake.. Unrelated got it.. again my mistake.. Stuff together got it ...please guild me oh Oracle of knowledge my life is in shambles. Comments unrelated got it..next time I'll ask you before I post to make sure it is ok.

What about them? Do you really think that inhouse content will require any of those? Who really knows but who in the PC world has not benefited by using SKSE? I fail to see the connection here. If they need functions to make the DLC content work they will be added as an update, or there will be ways found around it. Simple really when was the last time you tried to play a completely unaltered game of skyrim on PC? It is all but unplayable and no fun...why it crashes every 2 minutes. First thing most do if you want to play that is ..is the Sheson's memory patch right? So a playable and enjoyable game on PC requires other peoples work should they not be paid? Example.. Not long ago I installed a fresh game from Steam on a different computer thought I would play vanilla "nostalgia reasons" it is almost impossible to play and enjoy. Can't even fathom modding without it a memory patch.. get it now? It is through some real talented people that made Skyrim successful it would not be where it is today without them.

I would like to think Bethesda has good intentions but I have my doubts. it seems very complicated what about mods with dependencies? What about many of the mods that require SKSE and FNIS? I see this turning into crap storm of lawsuits and more people leaving and/or quitting the mod community again :(

Current mod list make sure Helgen reborn is active only after the first scene ... even using alt. start I would leave it unchecked until you save one of the soldiers from Hegen it will save you issues. Also be aware of combat changes to many are not a good thing to many changes to the same thing will cause conflicts that goes for any type of mod. hope it helps ;)

Few mods are on every play through but this always is in my game makes Skyrim more interesting as well as looking way better :laugh:

There are some overhauls but will change most enemies to female save for skeletons its called deadly wenches. My current level is 60 and bandits are level 60 with weapons ranging from ebony to dadric their skill trees level also so a ranger at this level will have 100 skill with bow same with guards ect.. all level with you they are tough. That mod author has many mods ..I play with most it changes the way you play because no longer can you rule a bandit camp with out help they will kill you. hope it helps :)

Skyrim seem to be the perfect storm for mods and game play innovation ...please refrain from going with stability comments that is not what this is about. Over 52,000 mods on Nexus alone thousands on lovers lab... unknown number of blogs dedicated to Skyrim and peoples own creations. Who knows how many videos on youtube. The shear innovation of programmers who came together to really make this game one of a kind including whole DLC size mods to complete overhauls of all types and of course a whole new platform to run on SKSE. It is safe to say there has not been a game like it with all that is available to it... even today there are no games that come close. You can literately make a new game check Endral from it .. the choice you have for game play is second to none there is no argument about that you don't even have to do the quest lines to have a great game. So it is my opinion that Skyrim is the perfect storm of timing, programmers, and interest will there be a game like it perhaps but I don't see it on the horizon do you?

It just sucks SSE does not have the utilities and options that Oldrim has. :(
