In the original ME1, there was a console command that let you gltich/hide Weapons by equipping an invisible weapon. Naturally, this was SUCH a cool features as I always liked not having to show the weapons I wasn't using on a specific play-through. It just made my character look cooler, and feel more consistent with ME2 and ME3's system. Here's the steam post on it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=816693686 I know LEME1 doesn't appear to have a Console you can access in-game, but I've seen a few cheat-edits for modifications that let you get some codes and such, and I was curious if anyone from the modding community had stumbled upon a possible way to recreate this original feature of hiding these weapons? Naturally, it might take a bit for a true means of doing it to appear, but I figured I'd at the very least start a discussion about it - in case someone manages to find it!

updated to be more specific as to what I'm asking.

What is an ENB exactly, I feel like I'm missing some vital information about them.

I've been seeing a lot of people using ENB's, and I recently just fixed an issue with my shadows. Does it really hurt performance a lot? As i'm starting to get A LITTLE FPS drop with all the texture and color mods I'm using. What's a good ENB I should use that won't hurt my performance too much? But my main issue, is what exactly is an ENB designed to do for the game's quality? And are there an FPS boosters for Skyrim that could boost the FPS so I can add a few more texture changes to make it look pretty?

ok, so I figured i'd do my own testing. Turn out my Shadow quality was set to "Low" for some reason. So I've fixed the blocky outlines, and the issue where some shadows wouldn't low until I was close. Still getting lines of shadow on my character in certain lighting, if anyone knows any basic Shadow fix's that are known and on the nexus.

If you links to those mods let me know, or any other information I can provide for you.

So, I've installed several mods to enchance the overall look and feel of Skyrim. - Climates of Tamriel (Dungeons & Interiors) - Climates of Tamriel (Vanilla Nights Level 2) - Real Rain (CoT compatible) - Enhanced Water (will get name if needed) - SkyrimHD 2k Textures And then I added some new armors and PC texture packs to enhance my character's feel. I wantd her to look pretty of course. - CBBE Slim (and compatible face mod) - Dread Huntress Armor - Basvanbeu Muscles Texture (& toned patch) The game runs suuuper smooth, and does really well in over all performance. And its LOOKS SOOOO beautiful...except one thing that is really really bothering me... The Shadows... The shadows look very blocky, and don't match up with the beauty of the area. There is constant shade flickering in armor, character modles, especially when looking at Fires. The shadows cast by flames in inns, at certain angles will ripple and look distored. Also, the shadow of harvestable items, and the static items near them don't show up till I'm nest to the item. They don't lagg, they just aren't there till I get closer. Now, I have an intel i7-920, ATi 4800 HD, 9GB RAM and overall a system that can handle it great with 0 lag. Occasionally in Whiterun or Markarth it stutters but generally non at all. My point, I can handle heavy duty graphics settings and twaeks without an issue, but it seems more like a glitch created by the texture mods that I used. Haven't seen any compatibilitiy issues with the mods. I believe I've isolated the issue for shadows on my character's skin as a CBBE issue. In the world I'm only assuming its the Tamriel lighting, or the Skyrim HD texture pack. Any known fixes? or settings I could change?

Thank you! ^.^ That's awesome.

So far, I haven't had too many issues with the Project Reality Climate and weather mod. Game lags a bit more in certain areas, but that's a given. My issue is really odd...whenever I talk to a shop owner, or open up my menu - instead of fading out the background screen behind the UI - it completely goes black! Again, not a big issue, but I isolated it to the lighting/climate mod and was wondering if anyone had experienced this and possibly had a fix for it?

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21377/ I'm trying to download the new Patch for AV - but for some reason, Nexus won't let me. Keep erroring saying that I need to wait 1 hour before downloading, as its a new file. But tons of other people have downloaded it...and its also been 2 hours since I tried last. Anyone know another way to get the mod? Or a way to get in touch with Nexus so I can get past the error. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e59/shadowwolf72003/Untitlederror.jpg

Here is my load order, in greater detail with the mods I have. That could very well be the issue, because I have changed this order. But not from it original, just to what I thought it would be. Oblivion.esm CCR - EE.esp Oblivion XP.esp Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp attack and hide medium v2.0.esp UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp DLCOrrery.esp DLCFrostcrag.esp DLCThievesDen.esp DLCVileLair.esp DLCSpellTomes.esp DMC Stylish - Specialanims.esp Knights.esp DLCShiveringIsles.esp Nico's Dreadweave Bow and Arrows.esp Stylish Jump.esp phinix_dual-wield_imports.esp Denock Arrows.esp 1.5xdamage_velocity.esp boethia custom race.esp KT_CustomRaceFix.esp R18PN - Eisen Platte Armor.esp Get Wet.esp RealWalk.esp DLCOrrery - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCFrostcrag - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch - SSSB.esp DLCVileLair - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCSpellTomes - Unofficial Patch.esp Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp If you can re-order this for me, to the proper way, I'd appreciate that. Otherwise, I'll try your fix, that makes perfect sense and now that I know its a Mod issue - I feel better, because that's an easy fix.

So, I noticed in the Imperial City, there is a giant Yellow Polygon, with a smaller Gray one inside it, randomly in one of the squares. Its an eye sore... I noticed it again, in an Oblivion Gate Tower, over the arch-ways of several doors, where light should have been (if I recall). Mods Beautiful People Elaborate Eyes Ren's Hair Eisen Platte Armor Female Eyecandy Body Replacer Get Wet 1.1 HGEC Body 1.21 Oblivion XP v415 DarkUld_DarN_16 Attack and Hide Stylish Jump Phinix Dual Wield Denock Arrows 1.5x Damage Velocity Real Walk Unofficial Oblivion Patch Unofficial Shivering Isles Unofficial Mods Patch I don't think its anything to do with the mods, as I used to not have them months ago when I played. The only thing I've done differently is install Shivering Isles, Knights of Nine, and the corresponding Patches. It used to not be there, and things ran smoothly, just something about the patches screwed it up. Additionally, Jauffre, and Martin's faces are mess up, and they get scrambled when I talk to them in Cloud Ruler Temple. Jauffre gets red, and his face peels off, and his mouth moves behind it. I don't know what caused that, but every face was working fine, until just randomly those 2 started acting up. So I don't think its a mod again...

It appears that it is not: "Then, suddenly, I restarted my computer for an update to my itunes (fail itunes)." Um...since when does restarting my computer to apply an update for a program classify as not working in top shape? O.o Also, thanks Ben - it seems that the over all issue was indeed that after uninstalling it beforehand, I was unable to reinstall it. After making sure all the Oblivion files were removed before attempting another reinstall - everything seems to be running smooth...I'll update is I run into another issue as I patch and mod it again. But like I said...computer is fine.

I really don't see how it would suddenly just no longer run when it was running perfectly for the last week.

Soo...Not sure what happened. I was playing perfectly for about a week now, just running along, limited glitches here and there with some installed mods, but soon I was running bug free for a good while. Then, suddenly, I restarted my computer for an update to my itunes (fail itunes). When I went to replay Oblivion an error came up and said that it could no longer fine the .exe file to run the game. I was like wtf?? I even attempted to launch the Mod Manager, and it too errored out as if missing files. Note***** I launch Oblivion using the OBSE - which I have tried both v19 and v20 with no success). I check'd my files and folders and nothing looked out of place. So all I could seem to do was, reinstall everything. I cleared everything, got rid of all my mods and did a clean install. I did however, re-install the Mod Manager (no mods) as well as OBSE and attempted to launch Oblivion again. This time, it loaded up fine...for 3 seconds then crashed. Mind you have no mods installed, and only have the OBSE and Mod Manager set up. -I do have the up to date patches -I have recently done another reinstall with no success -I have recently installed KoN and Shivering Isles, with their additional content -Still have yet to put any mods in the game, just a clean install and launch using the OBSE The game will no get past the first loading screen before crashing. -I've scanned for infectious. -My computer is running in top shape -My computer can handle it no problem -I've check'd tried a reinstall using another person's install files (in case my install files/disc was corrupt - still doesn't work) Anything think I might be lacking a fix for this kind of thing?

^.^ you guys make my life. Thank you so much. I'm going to go do some more tinkering, this has been really helpful. Any tips or suggestions - that would really be appreciated. Gonna give this a try and see where it goes.

So...Can I install a mod using OBMM even if it doesn't have a OMOD file? And thank you soooo much for the information. I will try to reinstall my game in a different location. Also, what is OBSE? I tried looking it up in google, but got something totally off. Just need to know what the letters stand for.

I've been at it for about 12 hours now and still am having no luck installing choice mods. Things I'd figure to be simple like, Umpa's Sexy walk, or Some really nice armor sets that are suppose to appear in my inventory not working. I was able to get a body replacer work (exumes), as well as a nifty selection of eye mods (elaborate eyes)...but those are the only 2 working mods I can get to load. I've manually installed them correctly (assuming its as simple as everyone say) and they show up selectable on the launcher, but when I enter into the game is like they aren't there. My point is, am I missing something? Is their something like a patch, a mod fix download, or something that I need to install to get a majority of mods to work? Natural Face, Ren's Beauty Pack, Beautiful People, fail fail fail. Cool armors, Fail, Sexy Walk, Fail, Soya's 4 Hair pack won't even work. I'd like to get a better modded experience, as I've seen in frequent vids, but if the only mod I can get working is a Female body replacer...well I don't saunter around naked in game so it really doesn't do much for me... -No, I don't use the Mod Manager, because 80% of the people who make mods don't release Mod Manager versions, and I'm really not familiar with how to "create" those kind of files without the configs. -Yes, I'm copying the meshes and texture folders over to the data folder for a manual install correctly. I've downloaded about 30 popular mods, reading comments even to make sure that they work and people enjoyed them, and of them only 2 have worked...so I'm missing something. I do have it installed in my Program Files folder...but if that would cause 90% of mod fails...that should be posted on the guide... <.<
