I really enjoy the idea of polearms. And I'm disappointed that they were left in the game in an unfinished state. Being able to carry them in your inventory, and unhiding the skill, are only small steps in the correct direction. I would really like to get blocking, perfect blocking, and master strikes working with polearms. I KNOW these are in the game at some level already because Bernard can do all of these things with the training polearm. The animations exist. And if Bernard can do them then all the logic should already be in the game. I'm not sure where to start looking though. I have browsed some of the BehaviorTree xml files in the scripts folder, but I'm not seeing anything that stands out (Though, I probably just don't understand what to look for.) Does anyone have an idea for where to look?

What is happening in those screenshots is your "eyes" are adjusting in game. The calculation does not care how long you have been in the dark, it cares about how bright the center of teh screen is compared to certain predefined spots. There are few options to deal with this. If you can't deal with the super dark shadows, raise the ambiant light levels until you can see into them WHILE looking at a bright area at mid day. The same goes for dungeons. look directly at a bright spot, adjust the ambiant light. Note, this WILL make shadows even brighter when you are in them and looking at a dark area. So thats your choice.

I know this is not something you want to hear, but in game play is just not going to meet your expectations. Here's why. You mention Gopher's gameplay and how he never seems to get much stuttering. He happens to be using 2x Titans in SLI. So unless you are going to drop 2 grand on more video power, you will need to scale back your textures/effects. Gopher also says in many of his videos, that the top end ENBs he shows still manage to cripple his framerate in some sections. The kinds of mods that it takes to get those beautiful screenshots people post make Skyrim TOTALLY unplayable.So, now that I have crushed your dreams, what can we do to build them back up? Here are some tips when going through the visual end of your modding adventure. Resist the urge to always choose the "ULTRA HD" version of every mod. This will quickly snowball out of hand. Start with the mid quality textures. Then back down to the low quality version and see if you can really tell the difference. Ask yourself if you care more about that 4096 grass texture, or being able to move your shadow fade distance out another 30 feet.Resist the urge to bump up your UGRIDS. If you intend to PLAY Skyrim instead of just testing mods and taking screenshots, you don't want random save game issues.Pick a visual theme before you start. It will help you pick the mods that match. Sometimes it looks better to go with a slightly lower quality texture that fits the others you use.Shadows are killer. I find them intolerable without using an ENB (even if it is the ONLY option I enable). Since I'm defering my shadow rendering anyway, there is NO need to have the game engine do any more work than it needs to. So I lock my shadow resolution to 512 and make ENB do all the work.Just my 2 cents. Start with the HD DLC, then put 2K textures on over it. Look to the texture pack combiner for more ideas.

Lets say I have a mod with 100 new swords. Is there a way I can add all the enchanted versions of each sword using the CK, Tes5Edit or any other method WITHOUT having to do it by hand? To clarify, I am talking about the low/mid/high versions of soul trapping, shock, frost etc.

Issue resolved, Following up in the ticket. Thank you sir.

Why not use an IP failover for the maintenance site instead of a DNS redirect? That way you won't have issues with people using cached DNS addresses and reloading the maintenance site over and over.

Here are the steps I use when I am having issues downloading manually (which has not been in a few months thankfully. The FS seem pretty decent now) I happen to use a download manager that I can set up prefrences for certain sites. I set nexusmods.com to only make 1-2 connections at once. Click the download manually link. In the window that pops up, pick one of the locations near you. (I usually pick from the middle of the list but it should not matter.) When the file save dialogue comes up it should have a "From" field containing http://fs##.nexusmods.com. Take a note of the ## part. If your download stops for some reason, repeat the process choosing a different link with a different ##.Some download managers will recognise the file and restart from where it left off even if it is a new link, this may help, or it may cause the download to stop again later on if the server feels you are being too agressive. Try it with and without this setting. I realized that I was having a particular problem with 3 specific files servers. So whenever I saw those ones, I just hit back and chose another location. Hopefully this helps you. Prophes0r EDIT: is there SERIOUSLY no way to post a fully formed URL without the editor making it into a link? Even unlinking the text does not work.

Now that I know this particular word/phrase is unacceptable I will refrain from using it in the future. However, I do have some counterpoints to both of your replies... "Contact Us" is an industry standard phrase/link for "This is the page containing our Corporate phone number and mailing address for official correspondence". I never would have thought to look there for technical support. But now that it has been suggested, I will attempt that avenue next. EDIT: This link brings me to the same support ticketing system that I used yesterday. I did look through all active users at the time I made the PM. I contacted the ONLY admin online at the time. It would make no sense to pick a random offline admin. Nor would it have made sense to message ALL of them. As a normal user, I have no way of knowing... That there is a built in site censor in effect as it is not detailed anywhere in the ToS nor have I seen any indication of its use. My guess was purely human moderation. What the entire list of blacklisted words are. Assuming I had guessed there was a censor in the first place. How the censor would mask blacklisted words. If anything, the industry standard is to change ALL characters, or remove the word/post entirely. There is nothing in the ToS that prohibits implying profanity. (And in fact, the ToS refers to "Profane" which by US and UK legal definition are "acts which violate the sacred" or "Blasphemy" which I'm almost POSITIVE is not what the ToS actually refers to. It should probably be changed to "Profanity" which is defined as "a subset of a language's lexicon that is considered by some to be strongly impolite or offensive.") "Inappropriate behavior" is not defined or prohibited anywhere in the ToS. The only thing involving that word is a statement about content being removed. At no point in any of my posts have I discussed any "Staff actions". I was very careful to only discuss my own actions, and any included information is either a quote of my own statements, or relevant error messages included for troubleshooting purposes. I have removed the name of the admin I contacted simply to avoid further complications. Though nowhere is it prohibited for me to say I talked to anyone by name, admin or not. The ToS itself is written so loosely that it both explicitly prohibits and implicitly allows any possible action (and technically inaction as well). I do always attempt to rely on my own "good judgement" as to what might be acceptable in any particular situation. But sometimes it is difficult to find statements that some person, somewhere, at some time, in some context might consider vulgar/obscene/threatening/invasive. Even at this point I still have no indication whether I am having a technical issue, or an administrative one.As a comical side note, technically saying any of these terms is against the ToS because they could refer to "Piracy". ARRYARRBoat/ShipPlankHookBlackBeardBlack Flag (Fun fact: A plain black flag was historically hoisted to indicate intent of a boarding action during piracy. Not the stereotypical skull & cross-bones)I don't see how anyone could reasonably expect to be banned for using these terms. Though perhaps this is another example of my Good-sense leading me astray. EDIT: The Contact Us link brings me to the same support ticket system that I posted about using above which has not yet resulted in a resolution. I suppose I will just continue to gather data in the off chance that this is a technical issue until I get a response to the ticket, or further instructions from another source. (Also edited for spelling and grammar)

Yesterday I was in the live chat and got a message saying I was kicked. Which I found odd. After waiting about 30 minutes I attempted to reconnect and got the message I noticed that there were still other members in the live chat, so I assumed that I had done something wrong and gotten banned. So I opened up the ToS again to make sure I had not done anything wrong without realizing it. Nothing I said falls under the restricted actions, so I figured I would send a PM to REDACTED, the only admin in the chat at the time and just wait it out. Perhaps not the most eloquent question. But simple and to the point. After a few hours I was still unable to enter so I started digging a bit more. At the moment I am only having issues connecting to the chat. I have not recieved anything else that would indicate that I actually have been banned Then I came upon the sticky thread I Got Banned. Which states at the top By this line it seems that it IS possible to be banned from only the chat, though it still is not very specific. I checked in the Forum rules and strikes to see if I was in fact banned, but my name is not there. My next step was to try following these instructions. So I tried to contact a member of staff via the PM system to resolve the issue. You would think this would be simple, considering there is a link at the bottom of the forums The Moderating Team. Unfortunatly this is another dead end because the link brings me to a blank page in Firefox 23.0.1 - With or without any extensions enabledFirefox 23.0.1 - With or without Cookies enabledFirefox 23.0.1 - Private browsing modeGoogle Chrome 29.0.1547.62 m - With or without cookiesMobile Chrome browser - (This has a different IP and it cannot get into chat either so it does not seem to be an issue with my IP block being banned)At this point I'm confident that the Moderator list is broken so I cannot be reasonably expected to follow that route. I checked my PM to REDACTED and I see this at the bottom OK. So I can assume my PM has been read? The problem is not resolved so I am not sure. I'm wracking my brain at this point going over everything I have done in the past week that could have possibly gotten me banned. I can only think of one thing that MIGHT even remotely count. At this point I am still trying to follow those instrcutions above about not making a forum post about the issue just in case I AM banned. So I search a bit more and find a section under my account tab called Client Area. I then procede to open a trouble ticket It has been a day since my last attempt at contact. I still have not recieved a response to my PMs or Ticket. Nor do I have any more indication as to whether or not I was banned from the chat. I still have access to all other features, and I still get the same error when trying to get into the chat. So I am posting here since it is the only thing I have left to do. I believe I have done my due diligence in attempting contact through other chanels and I am justified in finally taking this route. Could I possibly get some help with this issue? EDIT: Redacted the name of the admin I contacted.

@maitrecarotte I believe you are looking for a mod called Armed to the Teeth. If you have Dawnguard, follow the instructions HERE instead.

Also looking for Khajjit Male Body textures/normals like these for females Khajiit female body Texture -Nude- Note, They don't have to be nude or clothed. I'm using bodies with underwear anyway. I just want something that changes the Normals to look like fine shiny hair instead of the giant chunky junk of the default textures. And A texture that works with it of course.

Looks good for the faces. Is there one for bodies? Return the favor no mod needed just enter this at the console. player.modav BypassVendorKeywordCheck 1 Vendors will no longer check if an item is on their list before buying it. and if you want to sell stolen goods to anyone... player.modav BypassVendorStolenCheck 1

Does anyone know of a male body and face texture that looks more "real" like Nuska Real Skin for Women. I'm using the Genox textures with Sundracon meshes right now. But all my males look like they are made of plastic.

@Badmagic I tried AFT, but the interface is SOOOOOOOOOOOO slow I couldn't deal with it. With EFF I can access my followers inventory in 2 seconds. With AFT it takes nearly 10. Also, I couldn't find a way to make them ride horses. Simply buying a second horse didn't let them ride them because they were player horses. AFT and EFF on their own don't let followers "own" or be assigned horses. Better horses for followers used to be the way to go about it, but it hasn't been updated in nearly a year and does not play nice with the current game version. It also requires the authors follower mod, which does not work well (if at all) with UFO/EFF/AFT. EDIT: It looks like UFO may do this on it's own. I'm checking now. I;d REALLY rather use EFF due to its speed/stability/lack of conflicts/simplicity but If I have to use EFF I will.

Is there an up to date mod that requires me to BUY more horses for my follower(s) to ride and lets me assign which one they ride? Convenient horses is very clean, but everything is free and that does not mesh well with my hardcore run.

If you have bothered to add "sexy" mods to Skyrim (nothing wrong with that, to each their own) then you probably have ApachiiSky Hair installed. Am I correct? This is a known cause of crashes in showracemenu, especially in exterior cells. Its so bad on my machine that I cant even run it. And my machine is an absolute monster.

Thanks, i'll try these out in a bit. I'd rather manualy turn off reflection, as his newer versions are much more efficient at dealing with shadowing and SSAO. Boris also recommends not forcing AF in the drivers, but I'll try it.

Oh you can turn MANY things off. But not NEARLY everything. see here So I can turn off: Bloom Adaptation AmbientOcclusion DepthOfField DetailedShadow SunRays SkyLighting Reflection Sky can be turned on and off on it's own But there is no setting to turn off: CAMERAFX (but setting the values to 0 seems to make it do nothing) ENVIRONMENT (setting it to 0 or 1 still makes MASSIVE changes to the game, 1 != 100%) OBJECT LIGHTSPRITE (0 and 1 still affect the scene noticeably) VOLUMETRICFOG (no setting stop the MASSIVE increase in fog) FIRE (1.0 seems to be normal fire range, but it is still reprocessing it) COLORCORRECTION (The biggest one, cant be turned off and even tiny changes massively change the scene) Anyone know how to disable these sections properly? Or if i MUST how to set these so that they still LOOK like vanilla, even if I have to have ENB reprocess everything without changing it.

I'm looking for an ENB config that ONLY enables the improved shadows. I'm not interested in any of the other options. I tried just deleting the sections in the ini, which actually worked perfectly for a few minutes until they all regenerated themselves to default values a few minutes later. I tried deleting them and setting the file as read only, but the game crashes when it tries to rewrite those values to default. I tried setting all the values equal to nothing (DirectLightingCurveDay= ). Most values just regenerate new keys in the same section with default values. Some just seem to use the default values anyway. Does anyone know how I can do this? I want to use the improved shadows, which are quite good, without all the color shifting and fog increasing junk. (Yes I know they are fantastic for taking screenshots and even video, I just don't want to play the game with it.) Hopefully someone can help me.
