Seems related to their API Gateway as I'm still able to download via site and install mods from my local file system, but like y'all reported I'm also experiencing issues authenticating and downloading from within MO due to Gateway Timeout.

The survey will close by the end of April, but I may also close it earlier if I see that I have enough data to go on, and/or I see that there simply aren't any more responses flowing in. The timeline is mainly determined by the fact that in May at the latest, I need to be sitting down and actually writing up the results, particularly because this survey is only one part of my thesis, and the thesis as a whole must be finished by the end of this year (not as much time as it might sound). Regarding raw data, I didn't have any intention of posting raw data, because I didn't think that anybody would be interested in it. But I certainly *can* do it, if there is demand for it. And yes, when presenting my results to you guys, I will also discuss my hypotheses. Needless to say, I can't discuss the hypotheses now, because it might potentially influence how people respond to the survey. I mean, it probably wouldn't, but it's just bad practice to do so. If possible, I would like to see the raw data once the survey is closed as well.

I've been using WTV on Windows 10 for a couple months without any issues, opening 4K textures as well. However a couple days ago it started behaving like you described. It's crashing very often on startup, while browsing prev/next is still fine. I wonder if something else I installed recently may have caused a conflict. I'd like to hear other suggestions too as I feel the same about heavier tools.

Answering now and looking forward to seeing results. Thanks for putting it together

This is awesome! The only downside is that the predator vision key you configure on MCM is only triggered during gameplay whereas the ENB toggle key is triggered during both gameplay and menus. So, assigning a key like 'v' may cause you to "desync" the state of both flags, e.g. you open SkyUI and type in something to search that contains 'v', it'll toggle ENB but not predator. That could be mitigated by assigning a key that you're not likely to use on menus but there may still be a chance to hit that by accident. I've been trying to tune brightness and saturation with Imaginator for the more reliable usability in gameplay with APPLYGAMECOLORCORRECTION, but I'm realizing it'll mess up with the ENB one way or another. When tuned for night it'll mess up with the day and vice versa, not to mention body color nearby large fire sources- it gets really odd. I think it would be really nice if predator vision could add two more options to MCM: 1. to auto toggle ENB if desired, and 2. to setup your ENB toggle key. That would keep the best from both options, visual quality and reliability.

I absolutely second this topic. Open source is one of the most amazing initiatives and this community embraces it warmly. I love to see how some mods and resources are built on top of each other. Y'all rock so please accept my greatest gratitude for all of the bits you've shared.

Hey I'm on night shifts and this morning I just got around to re-installing Old Skyrim again to enable me to do it .. among everything else I want to do .. Patience is a virtue. Fingers crossed I can safely uninstall Old Skyrim for good after this time. Its now done And I can concur your first run on Hearthfires MD5 I think you may have done the procedure slightly wrong and produced a different checksum. The only things different after cleaning with TES5Edit v3.2 was the auto cleaned and manual cleaned stages of Dawnguard.esm, those have new MD5 checksums and CRCs which concur with your results. Edit : And if anyone is wondering - I can confirm the same routine needs to be applied to Skyrim Special Edition plugins, even the manual cleaning, you will get a few different checksum results and amount of ITMs / UDRs cleaned because Bethesda managed to add a few more, but the routine is the same. That sounds great, I really appreciate you finding some time to revive this thread. It's been helpful to build confidence for new folks like me. BTW on a second run I was able to get Hearthfires CRC to match with your OP. About Dawnguard, thanks for verifying I have the right checksums since latest xEdit 3.2. I saw you updated the OP with that info which is great. I think the forum bugged though and duplicated your checksum blocks a couple times. I'm updating my comments to avoid confusion as well. Cheers!

Hey let us know when you have a chance to update the CRCs and MD5s with the latest tools. That was a great idea and it would be nice to keep it updated.

Hey Ishara just wanted to share some good news, I did a fresh install and everything's working just fine now. I'll probably some next steps soon (converting armor + HDT) but for now I'm very happy with this. Thanks for stopping by and helping me out!

3 years later... cam's solution still works like a charm! Thanks!! =)

Sounds good, take your time to catch up with oldrim and it's good to have you back active to help us out. :)

I understand all of that but it honestly doesn't belong in a beginner's guide. There are PLENTY of guides out there on how to clean files. My guide is not about that and most likely will never include info for that aspect of modding. This guide is for beginners, I MAY add another guide in the future that details more info for more things, but I want to keep this guide simple, clean, and easy for a beginner to use. If you understand "all of that", it's confusing why you didn't explain that before. Instead, you sent me to a popular Gopher video that contradicts your guide, saying you're not sure yourself about the subject: It doesn't add up either with the following comment you made a few hours ago: Still, I appreciate your intention in being helpful. Good luck! :)

I appreciate you explaining what you've learned recently, so it may be helpful as well for you to improve your guide. What I've learned from others in this short term is that the problem is not about cleaning specific files. It's rather about cleaning specific types of records. Per source, ITM records are harmless and UDR's are not. Deleted navmeshes are also harmful but wouldn't fit in a beginners guide. E.g. immersive fallen trees mod had this problem until more experienced users helped the mod author by adding navmeshes so NPC's could see the fallen tress and cross them (source: search this topic for "deleted navmeshes").

Once again, this is a BEGINNER's guide, I am not going to continue to answer those questions. If you had READ the entire guide you would have seen that there are 2 other guides linked at the bottom, 1 intermediate, and 1 for advanced. Go check those out. You're making a bad assumption gromulos in saying that I didn't read your guide entirely, especially in a childish tone like that using caps lock to emphasize the obvious. It sounds rather inappropriate for someone that is "willing" to help. In fact, I did read your guide entirely and it's rather confusing as it contradicts what experienced mod developers say in other threads. Thanks for trying anyway, I still appreciate your good intentions.

Yeah skeleton is latest XP Extended 3.93 - here's the full installation filename in MO: XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended-68000-3-93.7z - when I start a new game I notice exactly as you described, a message from Immersive Armors right after I setup the game start on MCM. I tried these other suggestions as they were new to me- not running the bat anymore and starting somewhere quieter, and I'm still having the same issue. I'm realizing yes I'll need to give up on something eventually, like a custom armor sounds reasonable but I'd love to get the armor replacers to work because they look so good and make a positive impact on the whole game. Thanks a lot for your help again any other advice that comes to mind is still greatly appreciated.
