CBBE should work fine, it all depends on the preset you use. for the default body. You can just use or create a preset that has significant variance between weight 0 and 100. And yeah, another option is OBody for distributing presets to NPCs

If they put all that hardware in there, I suppose it is designed to handle the heat. I would read the reviews anyway to see if this model has heat issues. That said, getting Core 9/RTX5090 just so you can "keep Skyrim out of Program Files" is ludicrous. 1. My Skyrim is installed at its default path (under Program Files) with no issues. If you got problems, likely you messed up your setup elsewhere. 2. If you still don't want it in Program Files, and only have a single SDD (C:), you can always create a 'Games' folder on C and then tell Steam to install Skyrim in there, rather than default location. 3. If you are dead set on putting Skyrim on a different drive, and your laptop only has one SSD, practically ALL gaming laptops have a slot for an extra SSD. Buying an SSD and sticking it into your current laptop is a whole lot less hassle than replacing the laptop.

There is no hard dependency. MG01 completion stage (200) has MG02.Start() line in its stage fragment, so finishing MG01 should start MG02. However, in MG02 starting stage (0), fragment code has: if MG01.GetStage() < 200 MG01.SetStage(200) Endif Which basically means that there are likely alternate means of starting MG02, and if MG01 will be completed if it is not yet when MG02 starts.

One step at a time. See if it can start on a pristine game. If it can, go through saves till you find one where quest will no longer start via console.

Definitely abnormal. Very rarely(maybe once in 20-30 times) my game will hang on startup, and mostly because I am switching to other programs while it is loading. But taking 2-3 tries each time is just wrong. How many SKSE plugins and mods are you running?

Vanilla skeleton has WeaponBack, WeaponBow and QUIVER bones off the NPC Spine2 bone. And I would imagine, 'Weapon Adjust' property on ArmorAddon adjusts translation on those bones. Most likely, your backpack is currently weighted primarily to NPC Spine2. You could try weighing it to WeaponBack or QUIVER instead. You might, however, have to adjust the rotation.

It looks like you did not actually make the mod available. (Link gives 'Page not found' error)

It is about a methodical approach. If you use 'coc qasmoke' at main menu, you essentially start a brand-new pristine game world. TOO pristine actually, as a number of things that get set in motion when selecting 'New Game', get omitted. But that is beside the point. What we are trying to establish is whether the problem with Saarthal quest is inherent to your mod lineup from the get-go, or if it is something that gets compromised further into the game. So, you do 'coc qasmoke' at main menu, and then 'startquest mg02', and then 'sqv mg02' If it still shows that the quest is Stopped and at stage 0, it means your existing mods mess with your world sufficiently to render Saarthal quest non-startable. And I am afraid to say that it means you did not do the due diligence when checking the alias RefIDs. Just in case, here they are again. The Refs starting with FF are actually spawned by the quest, no need to check those. If the quest does start in the newly initialized world, it means that something messes with one of its prospective aliases somewhere in the course of the game. I am not sure if you have a habit of making regular manual saves of your game (you should), but I would recommend trying following: Starting from the earliest one you made for this playthrough, start loading your savegames, and try 'startquest mg02' on each one. Say, if you load save #24, and can start the quest, and then load save #25, and can no longer start the quest, you can start looking at what has changed between those two saves.

Try following: Launch game. Get to main menu. Instead of choosing 'Load', open console and put in command: "coc qasmoke" You will end up in a test area, in what is more or less a new game. Now, do the command: "startquest mg02" Then check it with sqv.

No, Nerien Alias actually has a 'Allow Disabled' flag. Now about this: So does the quest actually START, but is not working right? Cause if it actually starts (which can be verified with 'sqv mg02' command), then all these alias checks were essentially barking up the wrong tree...

If you use Vortex, you should be starting game via Vortex, nd no longer use Skyrim launcher. No need to check anything in the launcher.

So female merchant clothes are borked. In Riverwood, Sigrid - Alvor's wife - wears merchant, so that is likely her triggering this. Depending on which female body replacer you use, you should go into BodySlide, and rebuild the outfit. I.e. if using CBBE, you should have 'CBBE Vanilla - Body - Merchant', as well as a variant with 'Physics'. And depending on what outfit replacers you might have installed, potentially other variants (i.e. CT77 Merchant). Choose whichever you prefer, choose a preset, check 'Build Morphs' in lower left and build.

Good to know. So which one was it?

At the very least, try using GrepWin to scan scripts under both scripts/source and source/scripts for 'setvolume' and 'inifloat'

Been a while since I last played Skyrim VR on my Index, but... Yes, there is a seated mode (the only real true difference in seated mode is you don't physically crouch to go into stealth mode - you press a button). There definitely is a way to set height. Pretty sure it was a built in setting (not via a mod), but I could be mistaken. As to mods... you definitely want the basics: SKSE64, address library, RaceMenu, PapyrusUtil. ConsoleUtil... there is also this mod 'Skyrim VR ESL' which allows use of light plugins. Then you got VR specifics like VRIK, PLANCK, HIGGS...

Ok, so the game can write to your ini file just fine. And it is not like you got mod-defined volume categories using up all the available slots. Just to be sure - check your SkyrimCustom.ini if it has AudioMenu section. Try a couple experiments: Have the folder with SkyrimPrefs.ini opened on the desktop. Edit the file, set fVal0 to the value you want, and save. Start the game, load a save. Alt-tab from game. Re-open the .ini file - did it get fVal0 updated back to 1.0? Go into the settings menu, audio settings, What is SFX volume set to? If it shows max, set it to what you want and exit menu. Re-check the ini file again - did it get updated to the value you set.? Save the game. Re-check the .ini again. Same or back to 1? Exit the game. Re-check the .ini. Same or back to 1? Start the game again and load the save you just made. Check SFX volume in menu. Experiment 2 - Again change the .ini to value you want. Start the game, and when main menu appears, open console and type "coc qasmoke". You will get loaded into test area. Check SFX volume in the menu. What I am getting at, is that it is possible that one of your mods has a script that runs when a game is loaded. Something along the lines of: SoundCategory Property AudioCategorySFX Auto Float SavedSFXVolume ; getting the value SavedSFXVolume = Utility.GetINIFloat("fVal0:AudioMenu") ; restoring the value AudioCategorySFX.SetVolume(SavedSFXVolume) Utility.SetINIFloat("fVal0:AudioMenu", SavedSFXVolume) And unfortunately, it would be really hard to hunt down exactly which mod/script is responsible, especially if author of that mod did not include source files.

I suggested Improved Camera cause I know it generally does what you asked for - but I do not use it myself. You will probably do best by joining their Discord channel (link is on the mod page) and asking there.

Do you have the proper version of SKSE64 and Address Library? What is the launch error you get? Does it say anything in Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\skse64.log?

Audio menu slider settings are saved in Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimPrefs.ini, section [AudioMenu] For example, mine looks like this: [AudioMenu] fAudioMasterVolume=1.0000 fVal7=1.0000 uID7=0 fVal6=1.0000 uID6=0 fVal5=1.0000 uID5=0 fVal4=1.0000 uID4=151039367 fVal3=0.5000 uID3=466532 fVal2=0.7000 uID2=554685 fVal1=0.8000 uID1=1007612 fVal0=1.0000 uID0=94881 The top value is self-explanatory, that is your master volume. The other 8, however, are pairs fValx / uIDx. fValx is the volume (0.0=min, 1.0=max) and uIDx is the FormID of a Sound Category form in decimal. So what you want to do is convert these uID number to hexadecimal. Can use Windows Calculator app in Programmer mode for this. So lets see what are those values (with leading 0's added to pad them to 8 digits) uID0=94881 = 000172A1 uID1=1007612 = 000F5FFC uID2=554685 = 000876BD uID3=466532 = 00071E64 uID4=151039367 = 0900AD87 The fact that first four of these start with 00 means they are defined in Skyrim.esm. In SSEEdit, I expand Skyrim.esm, Sound Category. There are a number of forms in there, many of them are actually derivatives of other categories, and only some of them have the "Should Appear on Menu" flag. Namely: 00017A21 - AudioCategorySFX ($Effects) 00071E64 - AudioCategoryMUS ($Music) 000876BD - AudioCategoryVOCGeneral ($Voice) 000F5FFC - AudioCategoryFST ($Footsteps) The Master category (000EB803) is there as well, but I suspect the game has it hard-coded, which is why .ini file does not store uID for it. Now, of special interest is uID4. It starts with (09), meaning it is from a mod. In my load order, mod index 09 is 'Realistic Water Two - Resources.esm', and indeed it has a Sound Catagory Entry: 0900AD87 - AudioCategoryRWTWaves (RWT Waves), flagged 'Should Appear on Menu'. And yes, when I go into Audio menu in the game, there is an "RWT Waves" slider there. Also of interest is the fact that there are three empty 'slots' (uID 5,6,7). They provide space for other mods, but I wonder if that means that there are only 8 slots, and what happens if you have more contenders than slots. Now, on to your actual problem: When I go into audio menu in the game, and change a slider, I can see my SkyrimPrefs.ini updated with the new value the moment I exit the Settings menu. If your SkyrimPrefs.ini is write-protected, or is being used by some other app (BethINI maybe?), then Skyrim might not be able to alter it. That could be one reason. However, if file updates, it is likely something else. If you post here your SkyrimPrefs.ini [AudioMenu] section, that may shed some light.

Improved Camera?

1. More Informative Console 2. Drop your weapon on the ground, open console, click on the weapon. 3. To select a specific category in the info panel, hover mouse pointer over it and press Shift. 4. Go Enchantment - Magic Effects - {Effect Name} - Write down Editor ID and Base form ID. - Form location information - Write Down 'Base last modified by' plugin name. As in this case, it is dunSilentMoonsEnchFFContact, 0003B0B1, and last mod to change it is 'Summermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim.esp' 5. Open up Creation Kit. In File - Data, locate the plugin that last changes the effect, check it. Do not select an Active plugin. Click OK. 6. In Object window, under Magic - Magic Effect - look for the effect in question, open it up. Look for 'Enchant Shader' entry in the middle section. Set it to 'None', click OK to close. 7. File - Save - give it a name. I.e. 'noenchanteffect.esp'. 8. I use Vortex. Not sure how it is for MO2. But in Vortex plugins section, there will now be the new plugin you created, disabled. Enable it. Might as well also click 'Mark as Light'. The enchantment will no longer impart a visible effect on the weapon.

It might. But in this case, you really rather want SSEEdit A typical Spider is EncFrostbiteSpider (00023AAA) Once SSEEdit loaded all your plugins, expand Skyrim.esm - Non-Player-Character (Actor) category - and look for 00023AAA FormID. Click it to see if any mod overloads this record. The entry you are looking for in the record is the "INAM - Death Item" For a Frostbite Spider, it is "DeathItemFrostbiteSpider" (0003AD89). Unless some mod overloads the spider record and changes the death item entry. Another possibility is that some mod overloads "DeathItemFrostbiteSpider" itself, which is 'Leveled Item'. Also under Skyrim.esm, expand Leveled Item category, and look for 0003AD89. The vanilla version of it contains 1x Frostbite Venom, and a 'LootSmallTreasure10' Leveled Item.

When you tried prid on all the IDs I mentioned, are all of them coming with 'Is Enabled: Yes'? What about 'startquest mg02' or 'sqv mg02' commands? About SSEEdit: Once you got it installed, and launched it, have it loading all the mods. Then you expand Skyrim.esm entry, under it - Quest entry, and then look for 0001F252 I my case, only thing overloading that quest for me is USSEP, which is fine.

When Vortex marks a plugin 'could be light', it does check that the mod is good for it. Meaning the mod is not just small, but is also compacted - has no records outside of valid light mod range (0x800-0xfff for pre-1130, 0x000-0xfff for 1130+). I have plugins in my load order which are small (less than 1k records) and have no actors/dialogue/scripts, but are not 'compacted' - and Vortex does not mark them as 'could be light' Still, I would recommend using SSEEdit for it. Load up SSEEdit, open up mod in question, and in 'File Header' section, double-click the space next to 'Record Flags', and in the opened drop-down, check off 'ESL' box. With that done, right-click on the mod name in the list, and select 'Check for Errors'. If it says: Errors found: 0, then you can save and exit. Otherwise, might be better to exit without saving.

Try this: go back to the original meshes. Open lionmane_1.nif in NifScope, expand the root, click the NPC Head [Head] node and change its Scale to 0.9. Save. Do the same with lionmane_0.nif. See how that goes.
