Do you have any animation mods? Cuz I have had this happen before with some animation mods (that did not touch mining at all) and running FNIS helped fix it.

In response to post #57628901.You can. It is in the dashboard part of the program. You should see it about the middle of the screen. There you can launch SKSE64, SSEEdit, LOOT and any other thing you want. If it is not there you can add it on the right side with the Plus button.WhiteZero wrote:
So you can't launch the game with SKSE64 through Vortex?

In response to post #57609666. #57611286 is also a reply to the same post.You have to click on the red lighting bolts in the mod section of the program. It will pop open a window showing what is conflicting and allows you to set 'load before' or 'load after' rules. It should tell you how many files conflict and if you click the text that says how many it will show you the exact files. After which it should turn to a green lighting bolt. It is true that the program does not really tell you what to do to fix somethings, I found most stuff out by randomly clicking things.adamscd123 wrote: I tried to give this program a second chance, but it is still pretty useless to a non-advanced user. While I understand that this program is a work in progress, it is not ready for general consumption. When I install mods, it tells me that I have conflicts that I have to create rules for. There is no option that I have been able to find to do so. NMM at least auto-prompts if a given file needs to be overwritten. If you have to use a separate program for the rules, then what is the use of this program when it is supposed to be a one-stop shop solution? I do not endorse this program, but hope that you (the team) can make it be more than just a pretty interface that does nothing. Sorry if this is a bit harsh, and I freely admit that the problem might be my own inability to understand this program, but for now it is worthless to me.

You can drag the symbol next to it to the mod it's conflicting with, OR you can click the lightning bolt. I find it easier to click the lightning bolt. If you're using mods that conflict here, you're going to have had them do the same in NMM, the difference is how it's presented. Inside that lightning bolt, you will see something about how many files are conflicting. You can then use a drop down menu to choose which option is best, from loading the mod before the conflict, or after, or if it's dependent upon the other mod (a hotfix should load after, an update should be set as dependent, a file you want to overwrite (like you did in NMM) should load after, the file being overwritten should load first). When it came to NMM, dragging and dropping to correct a load order was a fairly easy process, this one is too it just has a learning curve. In the long run, that step is not only basic, but also advanced at the same time, giving you a lot more control if the file has specific instructions, or simply putting it where it should go if not.
An example of mods that overwrite files would be if I downloaded Mod configuration menu for fallout 3 or new vegas, and then installed Hud menu, Ihud, Ahud, Uhud. Each of these files do something different but they all have one main problem. They're all loading the same file in different ways. So you have to have the order figured out which one will load first and last. The mod page should say something about that in install section, and often times will say something about it when you click "download" from the nexus site. If you tell me which game, seek out which files are causing you the headache and name them off, i might just be able to help you load them in order so you can see it for yourself. I won't be able to do it every time, but a small amount shouldn't be too much of a headache for me. :P
One other thing to note, if you can't figure out which mod is which because sometimes mod authors name them strangely. I get they name them for their own updating purposes etc. but man does it become confusing when you're loading 100 mods or something and you have 30 files that aren't named the mod themselves. NMC_UL_v1.2-2342342-v1.2 or something goofy. If you double click that mod, it will pull up a menu on the right, click the orange link that is under the nexus drop down menu thing. It should say something like see the mod on Nexus. When you click it, it pulls up the link page, then you just flesh out which of the files in the download section, go back into Vortex, highlight the name, rename it to that file. Done.
Hope that helps! -
Wow. Congrats! You know it has been amazing watching the growth of this site over the last seven or so years I have known about it. And this truly seams like a natural next step and I am excited. I want to say nice job to Robin, nice job to everyone on the Nexus team and nice job to the community that supports them.
Thanks!

In response to post #45788870. #45798700, #45799680 are all replies on the same post.I am going to have to agree with icecreamassassin and bigdeano. I know that making follower mods is difficult but recently they have been on the Hotfiles all the time. And personally I get sick of the vanilla voiced followers that drown out a lot of the followers that are voiced/quested.sleepytigereyes wrote: Did you forget follower mods? We don't seem to get any credit at all but they are in so much demand and yet we are left in the dust.icecreamassassin wrote: Did who forget follower mods? BlindJudge? This is only the second Modder showcase interview that's been on Nexus.
and what the heck do you mean "We don't seem to get any credit" follower mods dominate the hot files almost all the time and 90% of the time they are just some plastic looking eye candy with no real depth to their character. Only once in awhile does one come around that has some real substance and feels like they really belong in the TES world. Too many look like a fashion magazine (or worse) IMO.
And frankly as a player and as a mod author (just my own opinion) followers just get in the way, both in game and when I am searching online for solutions to other completely non follower related technical issues (searches erroneously return follower how to info left and right, it's so obnoxious).
That said though, despite my personal feelings on followers, I appreciate the work you put in, because having added follower functionality to several characters in Legacy, I know how much work it is.bigdeano89 wrote: Can I just correct you op please? SUPER followers are in demand, like Inigo, Arissa and Sofia, ones with backstory, depth and custom voice packages. Like Ice says, "eyecandy" superfluous followers are most certainly not, they are a dime a dozen on Nexus frankly.
The rest I agree wholeheartedly with Ice on. Sorry, but you put in the work you get rewarded, and eyecandy followers arent much work to make imho.
The Discussions are new and eventually an author of follower mods will be interviewed.
And I do feel that apart of the reason you do not see as much "credit" to follower mods is due to the shear amount of them that have popping up. Most with the same amount of quality to the mod, that they dont stand out as much. -
In response to post #45634790. #45635625, #45643415, #45644335 are all replies on the same post.@MrJohn Its more like having someone else drive you around and they are willing to do it for free if you occasionally look at their crappy paintings. That person still has to maintain the car and put gas in it and you don't.MrJohn wrote: Interesting article, much better content than the others I would commend.
The problem I have with the advertisements are mostly their annoyance. As far as I knew, you had removed the "lifetime membership" option back when you announced the "final sale" of them. But my opinion is not gained a positive spur from this article.
Viewing picture 5 and 6, I would like to say a few things. Beginning with picture 5, the banner advertisements aren't too bad. The bright background mitigates my first issue, which is contrast. The second square ad really breaks this. The first thing that pops up on the site is a bright white box, clearly disrupting the otherwise gray and pleasant to look at information, trying to squeeze my eyes to look at it, interrupting my viewer experience to push their product. It doesn't fit, and thereby becomes an anomaly in an otherwise good site.
We scroll down, and see what you see in picture 6. Not too bad. Banner ad holds the color of the page, it can be ignored successfully. But there it is again. Bright colors, clearly attempting to gut at you. "Look at me!!!!" it screams.
Which is the purpose of an advertisement, to gain attention. But right now my attention wants to be on modding.
Which brings me to the 2nd point, targeted advertisement. I am not condoning the art of cookie tracking, am quite strongly against it and any form of advertisements, even though their "wooo eviiiiil" is necessary. But there are a few simple steps that could help. Using your examples for picture 5 and 6, only one advertisement could be uniformly helpful to anyone viewing your site. The first banner ad, Discord. Something for the gamers. The rest are about christmas presents or traveling, nothing that you would come to the Nexus for. I doubt Github would have as much success putting up ads for puppies as you would for traveling. Understandably, you do not control the ads yourself as you've said, but it doesn't help.
A minor tweak would be to add more focus on gaming related advertisement, or to push your ad-provider for more things closer to home. Gaming equipment (keyboards, mice, Logitech/Razer etc.), computers (such as Origin PC), games or games media. These things would be interesting to your demographic (gamers/modders), and would maybe persuade more to help out. What I would rather fear is that it would cost your bottom line to restrict advertisement content. As far as I am concerned, most of these ads are just as bad as any other "bad ads", only "less frowned upon" so to speak.
I can only speak for myself of course. Generally, pages without ads are just better, cleaner and smoother. Less bandwidth is used, if you are on a metered connection, than if not. It all eventually boils down to ethics and morals.
What gives you the right to show us ads? Because you own the site? It is an open internet and you've made this site as a free resource. Some people pay for their bandwidth (such as mobile internet), and would probably not want to pay for the advertisements themselves given the choice. Is it right to push advertisements on them? And if we have the magic switch that says "no thanks", is it right for others to slander them because they don't give out money instead? Should we be expected to hand out cash for sites in exchange for ad-free nature? Ads that they push themselves.
In closing, I commend you for this article. The look into the backside of Nexus is always interesting, not always positive, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy them. You also avoided the "we needs monies, pls help" side of the story, though whenever a site mentions the "ads", they usually want to spark some feeling of "Maybe I should help", which is quite cheap. Personally I am torn on the issue regarding finances, as I know it is difficult.Ethreon wrote: "What gives you the right to show us ads? Because you own the site?"
Exactly. He owns it, and he would have to pay for it from his pocket. Even if he'd be a rich man, doubt you'd get the same amazing offer if there were no ads. Rest of your argument might be based and intelligent, but that there is a dumb statement.MrJohn wrote: A fair point. But there are other variables than just ownership. Consider it an open house. To enter you need to bring posters. But the house is open for all. No entry fee. So you arrive without grabbing that poster. Does he have the right to smack you for not taking the poster? The house is open, after all. He could plead you to bring the poster. A form of begging, if you are cynical.
But the fact is this that the road you use to travel to said house, the car/transport you use and so forth you cover yourself. Only the end-point is "owned", so to speak. But ads are like a baggage that rides along with you. Like a poster you need to bring with you.
This boils down to opinions, but really I don't think ownership of a site would also give you right to force ads people do not want to see. What would be a great idea would be choice of ads, where you could see the ad options and tailor the ads based on color, contrast, type and so forth, to actually give a personalized ad service that could be unintrusive and maybe even helpful.
I don't blame the users of ads, but rather the ads themselves. It's like producers like EA f*#@ing companies over, the same as advertisers f*#@ the companies using them over. It's all greed.Elianora wrote: > What gives you the right to show us ads?
^ The fact that he spends hundreds of thousands of monies a year to provide the service free for ungrateful people like you and hired a team of professional people to keep the site running as great as it can. -
Congrats and Good Luck!

Replace premium membership with such "septims" system to let people download more than 5.mods.per day and you're golden.
Add a feature so the ones who actively supports the mod in the.comments, beta tests or getting.lots.of.kudos for.spreading their knowledge and shares their ideas with bonus "septims" and you see.much more people.will be involved to the process of helping the community grow and prosper.
Set prizes for the.best articles, posts and images monthly and reward them with these "septims" to stimulate others to buy and spent more, so.both nexus and modders get paid.

To me this whole thing just showed me how quickly the modding "community" could tear at individuals and be divided. As well as how people jump on each other for expressing their opinion and feelings. It is a shame that people drove out some of the best modders because their ideals did not conform with their own beliefs. But at the same time it showed us that even mod authors could act just as childish with protest banners, hiding or pulling mods, backlash or immaturity.
It is not the mod authors that if worried about or would call a sell out but the mod users that blamed them. People feared change and burned those who attempted to ride it. Some say that the damage is done, that even if the authors that used the Workshop came back that it wont be the same. I agree but it is not the authors that did the damage but the users. It is not the authors that swore. It is not the authors that gave death threats. It is not the authors that spammed. Chesko tried to reason with the users, try to appeal to the user and the users banished him.
It is not the paid mods I fear, but the backlash of users.
It is a shame that it is gone and it is a shame that is happened.

And the fact that you would turn away from the team that made Skyrim on PC a thing is just as sad. Look at their record.

Do you genuinely, from the bottom of your heart, believe those guys updated SkyUI JUST as a small, temporary cash grab with no intentions of getting rich by becoming the bottleneck that mod users will have to pay through in order to continue using mods in future?

Sound good. (Tell you the truth I read only the end half) Endorsement is a big issue and hopefuly with the new NMM and this, people will do it.

All this vampire hunting and stuff from Dawnguard has made me wish I could have some weapons from my favorite vampire hunting game, Boktai. But, I have no knowledge at all how to model, texture or use the Creationkit and with school and work I dont have time to learn. So I was wondering if somebody would like to try to make the gun(s) from Boktai/Lunar Knights.
