  1. This is a bit closer to what we latitudinally challenged resort to ...
  2. LOL me TOO ! My world thrives on people thinking they need a newer bigger better thingy . And discarding the old. But I've read enough of niphilim's posts to know that's not what their on about. Although it remains a bit of a mystery . Trust me back in the day (coming up 12 years plus back in the day) when I was still a working stiff and not on "fixed income" I was a hardware nut. Knew all about the latest stuff and what was peeking around the corner. I considered taking Niph to task on one thing though ... not knowing every last nuance of every last feature on his motherboard before buying it!!! For all my motherboards I had the manual downloaded long before purchase, had studied them so intensely that I knew just about every page number for stuff that mattered ... RAM timings ... yup page 4-20 for my ASUS Striker Extreme. Not knowing stuff like SLI support ... probably would have known that before I even downloaded the manual. You are saying you know it better than me ? How could you possibly know in the Canadian lattitudes ? Life is not fRanK up there . LOL ... we have defenses that are specific to our particular latitude induced challenges. Some have other names for it ... we call it antifreeze (keeps the brain cells from crystalizing at low temperatures). Very effective (however for some it can become somewhat "affective").
  3. Better Bouncing Boobs ... there was an earlier attempt at animating female breasts that was called Moving Breasts. - Edit - A quick search turned up this mod.
  4. And now, as that one radio host used to sign off with ... "And now you know, the rest of the story".
  5. As high as your Hotel ... you know the one that Mk is always onto you about Paga??

  7. If C-cup is all right with you I highly recommend you consider EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion. It doesn't offer a D-cup variant but it does have a complete HGEC compatible clothing and armor replacer (an important consideration when moving away from vanilla bodies).
  8. HG EyeCandy Body has a number of optional body sizes that fit your request (probably C-cup normal ... maybe D-cup). Those are all non-BBBed versions. For a similar BBBed version look at HGEC Body with BBB v1dot12 (also available with either C or D cup). If you are looking for a nude vanilla body I don't think you will find much you haven't probably already seen ... the vanilla body meshes haven't had the appeal to get much attention.
  9. Mods that have quests can be good partners in a load order until they reach a certain quest stage, and do something that throws a monkey wrench into somebody else's sandbox (or somebody else's wrench didn't hurt them until ... ).
  10. I'm sure as heck not getting into a "mine is bigger than yours" spec competition. The only one I'd have any chance at is a "mine is older than yours". :laugh:
  11. LOL ... now Mud Pie I've heard of so Mississippi Mud Pie wasn't a stretch, but this Bucket of Mud!! Reminds me a bit of a menu selection at Bubba Gumps down in Daytona ... Bucket o' Boat Trash. You should cross post this over on Jose's Recipe thread.
  12. "You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!"
  13. Perhaps you have seen the post I made regarding my "old girl". She's sitting on the hard on the south shore of the North Channel of Lake Huron, about an eight hour travel from the Striker Manor (go north old man, go north!!). Sadly it seems likely that there will be no boating season for me this summer (unless this COVID19 situation makes an abrupt turn for the better). She's shrinkwrapped (mast down storage for me, so make that properly shrinkwrapped) so a summer spent "sailing the hard" won't hurt her. I have the hatchboards, screens and cockpit seat hatches home with me so by the time the old girl and I are reunited their varnish will be as close to Bristol as they can get (most certainly not Hinckley standards though). My best of all my marina friends live in Port St Lucie and normally make the long drive north each summer, stopping to visit family on the way north. It will be disappointing to not have the chance to see them this summer. Normaly the lawnmower and I only get a passing acquaintance in the spring and fall (the shoulder seasons) ... I have a fellow here that takes over for the summer. Looks like I'll be "available" to chase my own lawnmower around the yard (oh joy, oh joy ... be still my heart). The situation ... a family drive through the COVID19 wilderness. The setup ... the family has pulled out of the driveway and made it almost to the end of the block. From the back seat ... "Are we there yet??"
  14. Ya we had amost a half acre in garden, maybe 1/3rd potatos, enough carrots to last most of the winter, a corner set aside for corn, cucumber for pickles and eating, and of course my Mom's tomatoes. Never failed those extra tomatoe plants she said she needed "because there won't be enough" were the ones that would put us over the top. Blanching and peeling tomatoes in prep for canning ... the skin on my fingers burns just thinking about it. I did my fair share on the working end of a hoe.
  15. By the time I got to Woodstock the half a million were gone (a few years too young). I do have the movie on DVD ... I could take a trip and never leave the farm.
  16. Better Cities doesn't have a reputation of making the game more stable. Maskars has a lot of stuff running in the background via scripts. You are at the point where the tried and true method of troubleshooting is looking like your next option. I do it as I install mods one at a time (and test thoroughly in between). You can do the same by uninstalling mods one at a time and test thoroughly in between until you find the culprit.
  17. Best to avoid thinking (well over thinking at least ... it seems to me that we need to be looking up at roots instead of looking down at flowers to actually stop thinking). My method sidesteps those persky considerations like too much water for this person, not enough for the other. The big mug gets exactly the same amount of water each time (all it can hold). Mornings call for a bit more ooomph so the three scoops of fine ground are closer to three full meal deal scoops. Lunch doesn't call for such high octane so the three scoops are bt bit less full meal deal. Supper is somewhere in between. I have the technology and experience to get it exactly how you want it Paga, so no coffee fears if you drop by for a visit (I'm a bit farther down from that grocery store ... may want to leave fairly early and pack a sammich or two, it'll take a minute or maybe more to walk here).
  18. What happens if you don't install OCOv2 Beast Races Enhanced (don't have that downloaded myself so I can't see what in all it overwrites etc). - Edit - I see on it's mod page it expects/requires load order above Oblivion_Character_Overhaul.esp ... depending on what you have done between install order and your current load order who knows what the game is using to display Khajiits, likely a little bit of both.
  19. I understand the points raised even though I have zero experience with the game. I'm pretty old school ... I play a game because I find it fun. Immersion is something I do in a bathtub or at the lake (and requires water). Every instant I'm playing from save load to to hitting Esc I know I'm playing a game ... not saving the world, curing social ills or creating anything of value (even to me ... beside a little diversion from whatever day to day tedium or otherwise my current path is taking me through). I can also tell you squat about any celebrity beyond recognising some of their names (an unintended unfortunate side effect of story headlines that I ignore but I am still victimized by those darn photons hitting my retina and finding weak spots in my garbage filter). ... what were we talking about ... my train of thought either left the station or is late to arrive (depending on which time zone you find yourself in). I couldn't have wrote that better. Even though I was beginning to use the Batcave exercise room, Tarzan swinging exercise room, and the ninja wall climbing gear less and less as it got easier and easier. I am old now. Someone else's children are going to have to pick up the fizzical fatness cream puff bod they've got off their couch and spend hours, weeks, months, and years to get in good enough physical shape and stay like the, > We don't call 911 family > Chuck Norris raised. He even has an adult swinging rings, overhead rows of solid bars to swing around and race like monkeys through metal trees indoors in his jungle gym. Maybe you remember those rings we used to jump up to grab an swing from one to another. At our old school's playground we had outdoor jungle gym stuff like that while in Kindergarten-6th grade. It takes a lot of exercise and special equipment to be a super healthy acrobat in the Circus. The Flying Trapeze, lifting 1000 Lbs, walking the Tightrope, leaping high in the air, and jumping across ten feet to do a tap dance on the head and face of a guy with a gun. I remember when climbing skyscrapers got national attention by Spiderman fans. Tom Cruise barely got any notice swing across skyscrapers in the Mission Impossible movies. I use my secret weapon against the ravages of Time ... I'm a coffee drinker (Mr. Three a Day, that's me). I'm real fussy about my coffee (well lots of other stuff too but let's stay on subject ... if that's at all possible). I use one of those Melitta coffee filter thingies that sits on top of my coffee mug with the paper cone filter and my favourite extra fine grind. The water gets boiled exactly one mug full at a time ... takes some time for that water to boil. Turns out it takes exactly 5 round trips up and down my basement stairs for the one mug's worth of water to boil. Then there's the time it takes for the water to filter down through the coffee. When you stand there and watch it the Laws of the Universe kick in and it takes forever and a day ... so I distract myself with some shoulder and hip exercises. Next thing I know I'm back on my butt in front of the computer, sippin' a nice fresh steaming mug of my favourite drug. What is most perplexing is I know for certain the real estate drivel concerning my house made no mention at all that it came with a "Stair Master" (I sure as heck didn't pay extra for one anyway).
  20. The COVID 19 virus was engineered at Fort Detrick (Frederick, Maryland) in 2005 and bought by the Chinese for further 'development' in 2015. The two Chinese bio-engineers who went to Fort Detrick in 2015 both worked at a biolab in Huang, the same region from where the virus started spreading in October/November 2019. I suddenly feel like one of those guys at their club for MEN ONLY. You know the stuffy guys drinking out of Gold glazed Tumblers that hold a pint of whisky, gin, or hard liquor. And smoking huge cigars whilt standing around or sitting in a high top cushioned chair reading the newspapers. You know that one guy who heard you say the name of the Fort you were implying had some glorious status that none of the Battle Scarred minds of these old geezers ever heard of. Out of our Pay Grade or something, something. Then one of High Class Military Officers old ears buzz and he forgets what you were talking about. Then you say... that stuff and he looks at you and says. What?! SPEAK UP; OLD BEAN! THOSE SCOUNDRELS! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! MAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO, and SUCH and SUCH???!!! CALL OUT THE MILITIA! TO ARMS TO ARMS!!! And after he shouts at all the others they tip their drinks and say, CHEERS! Then go back reading their newspapers or bragging up a storm about their war days. A few call home to tell their wives they'll be late for dinner, don't wait up, I've heard we are being called back to duty. Mutter, mutter, mutter. Good God, Woman all of us old Soldiers are all that's left of any fighting men. WE ARE GOING TO WAR!!! :woot: Zz oon as I finish my nap. :dry: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... still chuckling ... thanks Paga! "Three cheers for Captain Pullings!!! Huzzah!!!" Back when men were MEN!!
  21. I see what you mean about restraint. Since I don't trust my future self, I'll give scripting a stab. 'Tis a hard, hard thing to ask of oneself, this restraint thing. One would think that it would be easy enough to just put the "God Gear" into a respawning container and then try again with that "restraint setting" cranked up a notch or two. Sadly the more likely path is (at best) put the God Gear into a non-respawning container in one of your houses and try again with the restraint setting turned up a single notch (because it just doesn't seem to like half notch settings). Those tracks you see through the widerness in front of you ... yup, I know how they got there.
  22. I don't necessarily agree that more ESPs = slower Oblivion, at least not in all cases. For example if you had a mod that quadrupled the number of plants in a majority of cells then yes you will probably find that it would create more lag time when one of those cells is the next cell to be loaded. Also if you have a mod that quadruples the resolution of the majority of the plants in the game you could notice an increase in load times when a cell with a lot of those high resolution plants in it needs to be loaded (perhaps to a lesser extent than the first example if you have sufficient graphics power available). If you run both of those mods in your load order you will add more load to your system. If you instead merge those two mods you will not change a thing for yourself while playing the game ... transition into a cell with lots of plants from mod A and plenty of those plants are high rez from mod B and the game will still need to render lots of plants and they will be high rez. The only thing you may save yourself a second or two is in the time it takes to start the game (i.e. from clicking your game shortcut until main menu) ... one fewer ESPs to parse but the number of records registered with the game will remain exactly the same. I'd spend the time getting one more sip of coffee into me before grabbing the mouse and having at it ... but that's just me being me.
  23. - Edit - Didn't quite grasp the original question. That said what is your motivation for doing this? Are you at (or almost at) the 255 plugin limit and trying to save ESP space? If that's not the case are you trying to resolve conflicts?
  24. Bevilex' modlist for Oblivion - Graphics ... not recommended for those who are not meticulous in following instructions.
  25. EngineBugFixes is indeed recommended. Two fixes it contains may have bearing on your situation ... one that permanently fixes the A-Bomb stuck animation bug and a second that fixes a problem of random wilderness crashes because of a loading problem with Speedtree.
