Got a Nexus.exe from the San Jose server via this mod's AV package. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13779 Just a heads-up.

... we have light bulbs in Skyrim?

Good Idea: Selling all your wares. Bad Idea: Selling all you wear.

Yes. But that's mainly because I'm currently stuck with a laptop with a great processor... but Intel HD Graphics. If only I knew the difference between integrated and dedicated graphics cards at the time... *sigh* And now my Asian parents won't let me get a new one since they know it'll be for gaming! 8D

oh ok i see then that makes sense. yes i have used boss and it said i needed 2 patches, i downloaded them and ran it again and it said i had no conflicts but when i play the game not all of the mods work. for instance, the tribunal maskes and robes. the masks work but not the robes. also the dance of death mod doesnt seem to be working, i have the menu for it though. i have another question, before i installed nexus mod manager i had downloaded a texture pack and copied it into my data folder, now i want to delete it and replace it with a new one. how would i go about deleting the current texture pack that i have?? For all of those, take a close look at the mod pages. They often come with detailed instructions (or at least they should) for installing/activating and uninstalling them.

Some mods don't have plugins. Prime example are retexture/mesh-fixing mods. What is your mod list anyway? Site note- Okay, so you have BOSS. Have you cleaned plugins flagged as dirty by BOSS using TesVedit?

Just read the instructions. Run BOSS and it'll reorganize your load order. Read the plugin list carefully. It's very much likely you'll have some uncleaned .esm's (you'll want to use TESVEDIT for those) or some missing master files. Honestly, Just take a look at the videos here.

Gigantic downloads like that sometime derp up NMM. Try downloading it manually and then placing it in your Nexus Mod Manager -> Skyrim -> Mods folder.

This might help you all out. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1443981-tweak-your-computer-what-does-it-do/

Maybe running a texture optimizer like one or both of these might help?

Okay. Well now it's pulled from the Nexus completely. Any ideas what that was all about?

You could always look under Files -> Categories -> Animation and filter for endorsements or downloads. Take a look and see what you like.

Well, mod page and comment tread's back up if you feel like taking a crack at things.

GPU pretty much = graphics card, yeah. An integrated graphics card is integrated into the motherboard and uses the system's built-in RAM as its source of memory. It's cheaper and runs cooler, but since it's limited to system RAM (which tends to be slower) you're definitely going to catch hitches in regards to gaming graphics. Meanwhile, dedicated graphics cards have their own separate and dedicated RAM which is used wholly and only by the GPU. As brought up in the previous sentence, dedicated GPUs are more expensive and run hotter- hence why they tend to have fan(s) built into them. Integrated graphics cards are good for normal computer use. Dedicated graphics cards can do all that AND they can allow you to play games easier (unless you have a craptastic processor) and run certain imaging/media programs such as Photoshop or Flash Suite, what have you. Seeing as you're prooooobably a gamer if you're here in the first place, dedicated graphics cards are the way to go. Or at least go with AMD integrated graphics. *is stuck with Intel HD Graphics...* Edit: Also, you could have just put this into a search engine. WHY DID I BOTHER WITH THIS?!

Sometimes desktops aren't really feasible, though. I for one, often have to game in secret because Asian parents. Thus, having a laptop allows me to, ah, face away from the doorway of my room. Sneakysneaky. Having a desktop? NNNNNot really feasible.

Basically, search "d3d9.dll *operating system here*" and use the whole d3d9_other.dll thing mentioned in the HiAlgoBoost FAQ.

If you read the FAQ, HiAlgoBoost is for GPU-limited set-ups. I don't know your rig too well, but if you're actually CPU-limited, then HiAlgoBoost won't help you. That said, if they're about the same, then just turn off the dynamic resolution via SHIFT + END. Also, don't be afraid to use a secondary d3d9.dll tweaked for your system. I use one, and that definitely makes a difference.

So... Beastmaster, White, Lawful Good Dwarf Paladin/Sorcerer. Well. That's quite a mouthful.

HiAlgoBoost- Basically dynamically changes your pixel resolution as you play. Standing still, you get full resolution when you can actually notice it. When you're moving and/or turning? It lowers it. Saves a ton of FPS. SMCO- Texture optimization. Even comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and it has a very simple, clean interface. I advise you only optimize DDS and BSA with DDS only. NIF optimization might go awry and cause crashes. Which is bad. Ordenator- Noticeably slower than SMCO but with loads more options. What this has going over SMCO is that is can unify redundant files in your BSA's, can resize patterns, can turn textures into mipmaps for faster loading, and can reduce/correct texture resolutions. That last one has been a boon with my wimpy Intel HD Graphics. Downside? It can't convert certain texture types, though it'll do its darned best to optimize them (like ARG8... something, if I recall). However, SMCO can. So, I run that first and then Ordenator. Everyone's happy.

Well, medium, sure. If you specifically want to play Skyrim on medium, then sure, you should be able to run it, especially with performance-boosting mods such as HiAlgo Boost and texture optimizing mods such as SMCO and Ordenator available. It'll be fine if you just want that. But, if you want to play other games- at least more modern ones- well... to be truthful, integrated graphics cards suck. A lot. I say this from experience because I'm using one- an Intel HD Graphics. Period. No 3000, no 4000. Just... Intel HD. It's not fun, let me tell you. I'm just trying to offer some advice here- if you're planning to game, you'll want a dedicated graphics card. Or at least an integrated AMD card.

Huh. 1TB hard drive, 8 GB RAM... looks good, man, looks go- "Intel HD graphics 4000" NAW MAN DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT MAN NO DON'T

Anyone?

Having a similar problem on my end. Have both Autohotkey and WScript, but I can't run either ATTK or ATTK Light without having similar stuff happen. Currently run Windows 7 64-bit. I checked in the processes tab of the task manager and found WerFault.exe*32 adding as the same time as ATTK's .exe, both ending shortly thereafter. I tried with and without running as administrator, with various compatibility patches, making sure they were excluded in my antivirus/spyware kits, and they still don't work. I really don't know what to say.
