Hi folks, I'm new to modding and I've got my game running; still escaping Helgen right now. My issue is that FNIS keeps opening a window on my screen asking me which *something* I want to activate next time, with a list of letters for me to choose from. There's no obvious way to close the window, including clicking outside of it. I just clock all over the place and it goes away, I whack some Imperials, it comes back. Am I stuck in some kind of FNIS programming mode, and if so how can I turn that off? Here's my situation: I'm running from SKSE. I installed my mods using the following steps: Installed vanilla mods using Nexus Mod Manager, then installed some manually (the sexlab mods) using instructions on that site (I don't want to link the page because the ads make it NSFW). Used Nexus ModManager to generate a load order list Ran FNIS for Users Ran Boss to sort the order. Removed the mods that gave Boss heartburn (made sure nothing depended on them) Ran TESSedit on the mods that Boss said had bad code Ran Wrye Bash, verified it put a bash file in load order list. Starting the game with the SKSE loader. Any ideas?

Wow, DahliaLynn! I just had a fan girl moment - ok, I'm better now. :). Thank you for replying. I think I have it fixed. For anyone else with similar issues, here's what I did: For very app I used to install a mod, I went and uninstalled them all (except DLC). I also took everything out of my override folder and parked it elsewhere. I rebooted my PC just on general principle. Then I went back in DAOmodmanager and systematically installed *only* the mods I needed, and that I had verified as being probably compatible. The rest of the mods I was using id put back into my override file, again being sure I knew exactly what I was putting in and why. Finally, I gave up on my old game saves and started a completely new game. I did realize I had another possible problem earlier. I had moved some of the dazip files to other folders after installing them with DAOmodmanager. I don't know if it looks back to file locations but I suspect it may. Before starting the new game I did go back in the old one and verified that the installs were working. All were, except still no IRS camp options. Anyway, with the new game everything is working very well, and I think I do have IRS. At least, I seem to be having dialog options I never saw before (did I always have the option of telling Fergus' wife I might have three lovers? I don't recall that!). I haven't romanced Alistair yet, so I won't know for a while if I have those romance related new dialog options. So, two questions for you if I may: 1. What are some things I can look for to know if IRS is working? Specific dialogs that are changed here earlier on? I'm currently finishing Redcliff castle, then I'll do the mage's tower. Alistair is at about 55 approval (still neutral - I'm holding off on gifting this time). So far all the dialog with him seems to be following the usual pattern. Oh by the way I'm a Prince, oh let me tell you about that nightmare, etc. 2. I've now got your first night kiss (verified in the previous game) and it works, but before (a conflicting mod) had a very different first night kiss that involved warden wrapped around him like a monkey, kissing madly (though he was staring in the fire - very weird). Do you know what mod that was coming from? ETA: or is the hot monkey kiss part of your first night? If so, then I'm not sure which first night kiss I've got now - it's fairly low key - could be the one from mild_sexscenes? And thank you so much for replying!

Hi kind folks! I was trying to make a "perfect Alistair experience" and I seem to have broken Alistair Romance Fixes mod. None of the hug/touch/etc options appear in dialog with him. Of course, I'm sure I'\ve ccaused this with all the installing/uninstalling/editing I've done trying to fix things. I'd like to save this game if possible, but if I need to start all over I need to know what to do to make sure it works next time. You help would be much appreciated! Here's the (homefully enough) info: 2. Yep, I inistalled a bunch of mods, and then uninstalled them, and I'm sure that's where I introduced the problem. 3. . All of DahliaLynn's mods *do* work so far, including: First Night, Visible Kiss, Nightmare, Sleep Till Dawn. I've got swom 3. I also have installed, are working, and I don't think are3 involved in the problem: JB3,Natual Bodies (ummmm, yeah...) PineappleTree's Vibrant Colors (light, I think), Dragon Age Redesigned (wow, beautiful!), No Helmet Hack, Extra Dog Slot, Skip the Fade. 4. I have TMP Mild Romance installed and it seems to work, but as it involves Alistair I can't rule out a conflict here. 5. These things are installed but haven't triggered yet: Alistair's Dark Ritual, The Proposal 6. Things I installed manually because why not and then uninstalled at various points trying to fix: ZDF (Zevran Dialog Fix), Rondevous at the Tavern, More Options at the Pearl, ZevRing, Ze Romance Scenes, ZRS-IRS Compatibility Patch. I also installed and then removed Better Sex Scenes (I much prefer Mild Romance - who knew I was such a romantic?) NOTE: I did remove 4 lines from IRS Slistair that the instructions told me to to get compatibility with ZDF. 6a. I definitely got new party banter from ZDF. 7. There is another mod that gave me a camp tent that prevented Sleep Till Dawn from running. When I removed it I got Sleep Till Dawn, but maybe this caused a problem? There was also a file mora.lel.dazip that I installed and unsinstalled and it seemed shady for some reason (I'm sure it's a perfectly nice file but I don't know when or why I installed it). 8. Currently all my .dazip mods are installed with DAOModmanager, and all others is in their appropriate folders in my Override folder. 9. On my very first go-round I used Nexus ModManager to do all the downloads and installs I could, and I loaded it up - dance party, etc. Tthen I unchecked everything in there and used DAOModManager and putting things into Override exclusively. Oh, at some point I also had things installed with DAModmanager -- I uninstalled all those within DAModManager (correctly or not? seemed right). 10: Obviously now I have to Force Load, but the3 game is pretty stable when I do, other than still not having the IRS content. 11. I truly think that none of IRS is working at all -- for example, there was no added dialog option after Goldana. 12. Somethingweird happened when Alistair's First Night triggered. You know how the original kiss was broken with Alistair looking at the fire while the Warden is kissing him? Well in the modded version he's still looking at the fire, but the Warden is leaping all over an invisible Alistair, waving her hands like flippers, gazing romantically while suspended in air -- hilarious, actually, but it's clearly missing the effect of an awesome kiss. After the levitating flipper kiss they go to Warden's tent and have a lovely, steamy first night sesh with no glitches. Here are my questions: 1. Where should I look for things to really and truly get rid of all traces of the mods I don't want, so I can do a clean install of the ones I do want? Including Override Folder, DAOModManager folder, and any other Dragon Age folder. 2. Do I need to abandon my current saves and start a new game, if I'm willing to live with the force loads? 3. What should I then install to get a solid, compatible modded game that includes IRS for Alistair? Here's what I really do want: JB3 Natural Bodies PT's Vibrant Colors Dragon Age Redesigned No Helmet Hack Extra Dog Slot Skip the Fade, if possible Mild Romance Scenes All of DahliaLynn's Alistair mods and, of course, Improved Romance Scenes - Alistair Can anyone help?
