Hi, did you download the patch with nexus mod manager (NMM) or manually? If using NMM then you need to go to the Mods tab, select the patch and click the green check mark, that will install the mod. If you downloaded the file manually then you need to extract the contents of the archive into the skyrim Data folder (so go into steam/steamapps/common/skyrim special edition/data and put the files there.) If you are newer to modding then I suggest using a mod manager like NMM since that will make downloading and installing mods much easier for you.

@salllyo - the NMM should be able to detect all of the games you have installed including skyrim... if it's not giving you that option you can always go to the change game mode option at the top bar, then rescan installed games. As far as wryebash is concerned, you could use it as a mod manager instead of NMM if you wanted to, but as far as I know most people use it to make a "bashed patch" which is useful if you have a lot of armor, spell, or weapon mods. The beginner's guide here has an overview of how to use wrye bash - just scroll down to the relevant section.

Hi, you should be able to just download the mod as usual in MO. Then once the download is finished just double click it in the MO downloads window. The installer pops up from there and you can pick all your options.

yes, SkyUI comes with the MCM, so your mods will still work.

It looks like the author Ghaunadaur has hidden all of his/her mods. That said if all you need is access to the MCM you can just use SkyUI http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3863/?.

Well, Buttrammer, I would suggest taking a look at this guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/troubleshooting_guide (scroll down to the section on "CTD in a particular location"). You can also try loading the game vanilla (no mods activated) and see if the issue occurs there, if so you will need to verify the game cache through Steam.

I realize this is not quite the same thing, but Thieves Guild Alternate Routes http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78503/? also includes a dialog option to focus all of the jobs in a single hold, and apparently plays fine with USLEEP (according to the comments, anyway).

The cart and horses going crazy in the first scene is a pretty common bug if you have more than a few mods. Your options are basically to play through the whole intro (so up until you get out of the cave with Ralof or Hadvar) and then install all your mods, or alternatively you can use a mod to skip the intro scene entirely. I recommend Alternate Start: Live Another Life http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9557/?, since it's kind of cool to start your Skyrim playthrough shipwrecked or lost in the woods or whatever :)

It sounds like you have missing meshes, you can try fixing it by verifying the integrity of game cache through Steam, or you can completely start again from vanilla: http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Make_Skyrim_Vanilla_Again, then reinstall your mods from there.

Have you looked at Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29249/? ? There is a spell that comes with this mod that allows you to move your family (spouse + children) to a modded home, and there is a list of compatible player home mods on the page.

I'd recommend checking out the community at r/skyrimmods, they have weekly threads about best mods for new locations, followers, etc. The "best mods for" list is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/best_mods_for And the current weekly thread is about quest mods: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/540rvv/best_mods_for_quests/

So I downloaded your .esp to test it out and checked it out in the creation kit. It looks like you set up everything correctly but I couldn't get the follow dialogue to display either. This is beyond my expertise, sorry :sad:

Sorry if I missed this in your screenshots, but did you set the disposition to 75 or above (under the traits tab)? You have to set that in order for the "follow me" dialogue to display.

@AmbreTh http://ninirim.tistory.com/62 this was the only download I could find.

I don't know if you like video tutorials, but I always found Gopher's videos very helpful: This is the one that covers cleaning your master files with TES5edit, which is what LOOT is asking you to do. You'll need to download TES5edit in order to clean the mods and it can be found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25859/?
