Hi, Rider. Happy holidays to you Your post reminds me of a book I read approximately 44 years ago (probably the Thomas Covenant Chronicles). A character in it said a line which stuck with me like a ghost for the rest of my life. He said: "In accepting a gift you honor the giver." In general I see this as how the game modding community works, particularly in places like Nexus Mods where mods are shared freely. The mod author and the mod users all get the joy from freely shared mods. Authors get the joy when they see their mods used (especially when the users are kind), and users get the joy when they see new things to try for their games.

I have no idea what ELFX Shadows is, but in my humble opinion, those "shadows" don't look natural. Whatever is causing that (ELFX Shadows, perhaps?) looks like it's just cranking up the contrast rather than enhancing shadows. p.s. I don't use ENBs nor reshade. Sometimes (rarely) I use Nvidia Game Filter if I want special effects for a film, but other than that I only use in-game engine lighting and mods which change image spaces and image space adapters (the method the engine uses for controlling lighting).

I had to log into Skyrim SE again because I ran out of raw footage to match the song I wrote for my film, so while I was logged in I took the screen shots. This is the reason your skin is discolored: https://i.imgur.com/Bn3rD3u.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/lVwfj25.jpeg I said it before in this thread and I won't say it again. If you don't listen that's on you. I'm done repeating it. You need to go into Race Menu and set every single Body, Face, Foot and Hand default overlay which isn't 100% transparent to 100% transparent. If you don't do that, sometimes your skin will be the correct color, and sometimes it won't. But your exposure to it being discolored is because of that. I'm unsubscribing to this thread, Red Head Angel, because clearly you are uninterested in getting the correct answer.

I'm currently editing a film so can't go in game to take a screen shot for you, but later tonight I'll log into Skyrim SE and show you where you need to fix the problem.

I didn't believe for a second it was caused by Fertility Mode (which I use with no issues at all). What you're showing is exactly what I used to have and is fixed exactly as I stated above. It doesn't happen immediately, but when you put on or take off pieces of clothing, the skin on those pieces can get that color until you restart the game. I continue to assert it's what I stated and honestly don't believe any dissent

I doubt it because I am pretty sure that mechanic is vanilla, not mod, at least if you're talking about using "e" on a sleeping person.

I also had a problem with body parts turning that color, and it stumped me for weeks. However, I eventually figured out it was a lingering effect of cum overlays. It was tough to figure out because it didn't always happen. I even thought it was related to a hair mod I installed for a while because it happened worst when that hair mod was installed. But it wasn't that. I suspect this is what RedHeadAngel is experienced based on the mods she's using. 1. When you get cum overlays, after an amount of time set in MCM, the cum overlays will be removed. 2. They seem to be removed, but they're not fully being cleared. The overlays are being set to "default" on the body parts which means they're invisible in most situations, but they still have opacity set (the transparency field is set to maximum opacity). What this means is there are situations where, even if the overlays are set to "default" in RaceMenu, sometimes they actually show up as blue/purplish over that whole body part. The fix is to go into RaceMenu and check all the body, hand, foot, face overlay fields, and if there are any where the color is set at all, even if it's set to default, you must go into the color field for that overlay and set the transparency slider all the way to left (maximum transparency). I'm certain this is what's happening to RedHeadAngel, and I'm certain what I describe is the cause and fix.

A few months ago I did a playthrough where I allowed my blacksmithing and enchanting to hit 200, and I also used gear which increased those values when I crafted. It made the game way, way too easy. I was one shotting everything for thousands of damage. I no longer ever allow the game to go over 100, and a week or two ago after hitting 100 I deliberately dropped back down to 15 on several skills. I can't answer what the dev team had in mind when they selected 100 as the cap (though technically they did not set that cap as there are items which allow smithing, enchanting and alchemy to go higher while you wear them). But I do agree that the dev team made the right decision because they balanced the game around 100 being the cap (unless you use gear to let it go higher), and if you go higher in those skills, the game becomes unbalanced.

That doesn't seem like strict role play to me. In real life, scientists and scholars can take martial arts and become experts and firearms and vice versa. I see no reason the head of the mage college couldn't also be a ninja assassin, a dragon born leader, an expert archer and a blacksmith. In addition, my favorite books are those where the main characters learn to do everything. Off the top of my head, the "Tower" series by Seth Ring are very enjoyable, and the main character delights in learning how to do everything from runes to magic to combat. So I guess in answer, yes, I play strict role playing by trying to learn to do everything, though if I don't like a faction, I generally try to slaughter them all if the game allows it (sadly in Skyrim that is often blocked. For instance, I can't slaughter the head of the thieves' guild when he's rude to me).

Just use racemenu (showracemenu). If you don't have an eye fix mod, then using race menu will turn your eyes vampire-golden regardless of what eye type you pick. 1. showracemenu 2. change the eyes to anything. 3. save and exit racemenu. You'll have vampire eyes.

I use no armor at all and play pure stealth. I also use Acheron so that if I do get killed it's not game over. At worst I respawn outside the dungeon and have to work my way back to where I died. I use mods which punish illegal activity if caught (prison alternatives which may actually kill me in horrible ways or may hang me and have me try to snap the rope after the guards leave to survive). I explore randomly and in general ignore main quests unless I feel the desire to repeat one (as I've played many, many characters and started over several times). Mostly, though, I look for cool areas and scenes which might make a good film. Then I write a poem, turn it into music, film raw footage and then edit it into a film. Other people play Skyrim for screen archery. I play it (and other games like it) for film making. p.s. I can't really link any examples here as by Nexus Mods rules my films are only suitable for the Supporter image share, even though they rarely have any nudity.

RaceMenu is forcing the vampire eyes on you. When you use RaceMenu (either with the showracemenu or the "skee preset-load [file]" methods), if you're a vampire, it will give you the yellow glowing vampire eyes. I always play a vampire, and to keep the eyes human I do the following steps. 1. I installed this mod: Vampire Eye Fix (Disable Vampire Overlay) at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community 2. When I want to use racemenu in any form, I first use the console command to switch me to human. For instance, I'm currently playing a breton, so I type: prid 14 setrace breton 3. Now I can use showracemenu or the "skee preset-load penny27" command to make whatever change I want. 4. When I'm done, I switch back to vampire: setrace bretonracevampire Doing this I never get forced into vampire eyes. The key is to have the vampire eye fix mod and to always be in human form when you're using racemenu.

There is a lot of truth to that. When I was younger in college, for nine years I took every class that seemed interesting to me, with no regard to getting a degree. I just picked classes on things I wanted to learn or experience (including even rock climbing, haha). One of my favorite topics was English, especially writing and poetry, so I took a Kazillion English classes of every type. One of the classes talked about the progression of landed nobles (in England) with writing, poetry and music all the way to the 1800s in which the middle class began to rise to power due to wealth. The professor explained that the landed nobles didn't have to prove anything to get or keep their status in society, so they were often likely to sleep through concerts and plays. They didn't care. To them it was enjoyable sleeping through a performance, even with their head back and mouth wide open snoring loudly. (It's possible the professor also mentioned that because I used to sit in the front row and often fall asleep with my mouth wide open in class because I'd been up all night before at night clubs. I got an A+ that class anyway.) This practice changed with the middle class, and houses started getting built with larger windows so the owners could show off their wealth inside the house to people walking by, and it's also when the concept of paying attention during performances became what we know today. And with that, keeping this post on topic with the thread, I'll pick E Muzeki, a group I first heard while they were in costume at a Rennaissance festival many years ago, and I bought their CD from them and have listened to them many, many times since then in my iTunes. I see they're on YouTube now, so....

When I was ten years old (many years ago), I had a radio alarm clock. One day it went off to a Beach Boys tune which, instead of waking me up, wormed its way into my dream. I vividly remember dancing to the song, waving my arms and jumping in happiness. That's the day I discovered music could influence my dreams, and from then on I often made a point of sleeping to music I liked so that my dreams would be more delightful. Years later I fell asleep to the film Hellraiser 2, and I had the most amazing and wonderful dream of demons and devils trying to lure me to Hell It's one of my favorite dreams I ever had, so from that I often also tried to fall asleep to loops of movies to assure my dreams would be wonderful. The last couple of days the song I played on my headphones in a loop while I slept for hours at a time was the following. It gave me beautiful dreams. https://suno.com/song/77a083d3-508a-4985-b6dc-9f15c21c3723 Whether you enjoy dreams of dancing to innocent music or somber dreams of going to Hell, may you sleep well.

While I've heard that theory dozens (hundreds?) of times in the last 30 or 40 years, I don't actually believe anyone believes it for two reasons: a) sometimes who says the theory is the news, and they generally lie and inflate stuff to get people riled up and watch them, and b) generally people who say that are young neo nazis who, likewise, are trying to get people riled up. Back in the late 1980s through the 1990s I was in more rumbles and fights against neo nazi gangs than I can remember, but I didn't always fight them, at least not right away. I often talked to them, and many were not only friends with the people they pretended to hate but were rational deep down. They still were antagonistic in general and often required confrontation, but there's a separation between what people say they believe and what people believe. As for weird theories, well, that's kind of hard for me to think of any I think are weird because I try not to judge that way. But I guess, for the sake of the thread, I'll pick the theory that you have to sacrifice people on a pyramid so the sun will come up. I read a while back that the Aztecs killed 5 million people this way. I'm not sure if it's a weird theory, but it's a silly one. Post Script: I just remembered a perfect example of someone not believing what he is famous for believing. Anton LaVey. He produced musical albums, films and pretended to do sermons for and about Satan, but he was an atheist (meaning he obviously had no belief in it *Laughs*). But what he said was often profound and wise. For instance, on the back of his CD titled "Satan Takes a Holiday" he said: "The greatest sin is false gaiety." That's one of my favorite lines ever by anyone.
