Question for some of you more knowledgeable modding types: would it be at all feasible to add a kind of function to the game so that when you pick up a new item you can press a button to quickly pull up the item description? I'd love to be more thorough and diligent about reading them as I pick things up, but stopping to hunt through the inventory each time is driving me crazy. Just curious if it's even something that's possible.

Yeah, me too. But now I'm noticing that some categories are missing altogether - like "Creatures" for example. Weird.

Anybody else having a weird thing with Skyrim SE mods in Nexus Mod Manager where they all get thrown into bizarre categories? None of these things are going to the right place. I mean, i know it's not an issue of modders not labeling their mods because it's categorized on the site. And I'm not having this problem with other games. Do I have something set wrong or something. Anyway, not a life threatening problem, just curious - and maybe a bit uncharacteristically ocd. lol

Was searching for answers on this myself last night but only found threads like this with no real answers. I'm no expert, but I played around and got it to work. Thought I'd come back and share what finally worked for me. My apologies to the OP for being so late. :blush: (I used Sundracon's version, so other versions my have different options and file organization, but I'd assume the basic concept would work the same for FavouredSouls or any other) So for MO, you know how when you try to install it brings up that window where it's looking for the data folder? Normally you just find the data folder in the tree and set it, but as this mod has several, each pertaining to different options and whatnot, the question becomes 'which one to choose.' My answer: install multiple times, once for each option you want to choose. Example: You want to set it up so that you have no body hair. 1) Main mod install: Ok, the "Install Mods" window has just popped up looking for the data folder. Right click on the second "Data" you see (the one that is capitalized, not in braces) and select "set data directory." Then, go to the top of the window, change the name to something like "Better Males - Main", and then hit OK and let it install. -> <data> -> Data <----------- Right click and choose 'set data directory' -> [ OPTIONS ] 2) No hair option: Now, double click the mod to install it again. This time open up the options folder and find the data folder for your choice of body hair texture. Set it as your data directory, change the name of the install to something like "Better Males - Option - Body Hair 0" and hit OK. -> <data> -> Data -> [ OPTIONS ] -> [ BODY HAIR TEXTURES ] -> Body Hair 0 [smooth & muscular] -> Data <---------------------------- Set this one You'll now have two Better Male mods in your mod window, each named whatever you changed the name to - each option is its own separate mod that can be turned on/off by checking/unchecking in the mod list like any other mod. If there's another option you want thrown into the mix, then make another install setting the appropriate data directory and change the name (if the name is the same as another install, this new one will replace the old). Make sure "Better Males - Main" is above any optional versions in the mod window. Later, if you want to go hairy, just uncheck "Better Males - Option - Body Hair 0" in the mod list and make another install accordingly.

FINALLY!! You know, a little recognition was all I wanted. =D

So THAT'S why I kept having to fight so many dragons! I was starting to thing they were getting a little intrusive, but it was just retribution for my laziness - now I get it. LOL

Pardon me while I exercise a little frustration here. I just finished the main quest; slew the evil dragon semi-demi-god and saved all of man, lizard, and cute-n-cuddly kitten kind, and for what? A couple of phone numbers and a dragon flyby? I hate to sound materialistic, but where's my damn reward swag!?! No awesome weapon? No glittering, gilded armor? Nothing? After I killed that Dragon Lord guy and picked up his staff that shoots a wall of lightning I thought, 'hey, I'm not really a staff guy, but that's pretty cool.' But no, turns out that's just a damn key to be coughed up seconds later. Maybe I should have this post moved to another forum because I have a modding request - clothes that say "I saved Tamriel and all I got was this lousy tunic." You know, it's not really the reward thing that's bothering me; it's the lack of acknowledgement - of consequence. After the [big?] fight I thought I'd make the rounds, check in with some of the big wigs that had gotten involved, maybe cash in on some post-Alduin kudos. But the only person who even mentions the victory is that one greybeard. I checked in at Dragonreach to see how the keep was holding up after housing a dragon, and the Jarl just whined about how very tiring being a Jarl is. Yes, I imagine sitting in your big chair inside your huge castle is very hard. Now excuse me while I retire to my tiny cottage on the poor side of town. I dropped by Solitude to see how the whole truce thing was working out, and do you know what Colonel Tigh said to me!? - "Hey, don't I know you. Aren't you that guy from Helgen." REALLY!?! Don't you play effing coy with me, you bastard. I just mediated negotiations between you and that Stormcloak guy an hour ago, but you remember me from the opening scene? I totally favored you in those negotiations, too, old man. The main storyline had really pulled me in there, for awhile: The head of the greybeards is a dragon! [Ooo, M. Night Switch-a-roo] Retrieve an elder scroll. [Hey, that's been in the title of the game like forever! *clap* *clap* *clap*] By the way, that scroll is locked up in the coolest, most trippiest underground city ever. [whoever designed that place must've been eating the giant glowing mushrooms - and for that, we thank you] And then you want me to trap a dragon inside a castle??? OK!! Everything after that was disappointing: "Climb on my back and prepare to see the world as only a Dove can." [Omg, omg. I'm going to fly a dragon!! ... or I'm going to get a hard cut to "Hey, we're there."] "Of course, Alduin will have all of his forces guarding this place." [Ooo, will I be hacking and slashing my way through a whole host of dragons?? .... No, just two? .... Can I fight them at the same time? .... No? Fine.] And for the climactic battle: (putting on my Wrestlmania announcer voice) "Yooooooou've beaten Alduin once, but can you do it again with three other legendary warriors helping you?" [i'm pretty sure I could have literally sat that one out. Hey, what about this dragon whose skeletal neck I have to walk across to get to the Hall of Valor - can I use the elder scroll to go back in time to fight that?? No? Fine.] All ranting aside, Bethesda, you've really outdone yourself with this one. This game looks so amazing, the landscape so enticing that I almost forget how tired the whole medieval times schtick is. It may be hard to believe with me stuck in frustrated, sarcastic mode, but I really do enjoy what you guys do. You're good boys, you just frustrate me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go work off some of this frustration. Think I'll try to carve a little recognition into Colonel Tigh by taking a razor to Admiral Cain. [Yea!! Galactica jokes!! Actually, I just like to sit in that room listening to those two talk and pretending I'm playing in a Battlestar episode. =D]
