HeyYou

Not really. Bear in mind, this was the late 1700's. The west was still the frontier, and it wasn't that far away. The ruffians, invaders and plunderers where right there handy. They didn't need to cross an ocean to be right on your doorstep. Irregardless, there were threats then, and even more so today. So, having the citizenry armed, and able to defend themselves when necessary, was then, and is still today, a right that the people need, and should have. Passing laws to disarm the public, will only disarm the law abiding, the 'bad people' will still have their weapons, and being assured that their victims won't have the ability to fight back, will only make them bolder. Look at Chicago. They had some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, yet their crime rate was still higher than most other places. Or washington DC for that matter. They outright banned public ownership of firearms, and they were the murder capitol of the nation, for many years. And as I have pointed out earlier in this thread.... I you remove five Democrat run cities, with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, from the statistics, the US becomes just as "safe", if not more so, than any European nation, that doesn't allow it's citizens to own firearms. Laws only affect the law-abiding, and by their very definition, criminals, are NOT. They won't care that they are breaking yet another law, they will still have their weapons. Disarming the law-abiding doesn't make them safer. It makes them victims.

Hokey Doke. Here is the rest of the article. “The peaceable part of mankind will be continually overrun by the vile and abandoned while they neglect the means of self-defence. The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside.... Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them; . . . the weak will become prey.” Seems to me, Tommy understands that there is evil in the world, and that they will take advantage of those that cannot defend themselves. Depriving people of the ability to defend themselves, pretty much assures that evil will triumph. Sure, if NO ONE had arms, we would all be on an even playing field, and then the 2nd amendment wouldn't be needed. The problem with that is, it simply isn't going to happen. The bad guys are always going to have access to arms, regardless of what laws are passed. Thus, banning civilian ownership of firearms, would only ensure that the law-abiding would be unable to defend themselves against the law breakers. Quite honestly, it looks to me, you like are misinterpreting what Tom has to say. You wouldn't be the first to do so, nor will you be the last.

Taking guns would work if Americans had respect for their own laws, and by extension, themselves. But, as your comment implies so eloquently, Americans have no respect for their own laws and will excuse; and even abet, any abhorrent behavior in the name of "freedom". And that is what Thomas Paine feared and railed against, an armed citizenry with no control or oversight. An uncontrolled, armed mob without regard or respect for societal norms and morality; the rule of law and the law itself; and the rights of others. Exactly what the American Supreme Court created. Congratulations America, you routinely sacrifice your school children to the almighty GUN on the Alter of Freedom. And once again, your statement is based on how you interpret those laws/amendments. I would also point out, that Tommy once said: "Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them." Where in that comment did I "interpret" any law or amendment? Did you actually read what I wrote, or is your response based on some imagining? And you took Paine's comment out of context. The larger context warns against the perils of an armed citizenry becoming a vigilante culture, capable of self destruction. But that larger context would not support your argument, so you were right to leave it out. There are two sides to every coin. On the one hand, here you are trying to convince us that Tom didn't want anyone to have guns, yet, above we have a statement where he says disarming the populace isn't a good idea. So, which is it? Not to mention that Tom was one guy, a couple hundred years ago. Laws evolve over time, as do interpretations. I am going to stick with the Supreme court on this one. Mainly because, Who ARE 'the militia'? Back in the day, the militia was every able bodied man over the age of 14........ They weren't part of the continental army. They were volunteers, that supplied their own weapons. If the people didn't have those weapons, the militia disappears with them.

I am not seeing anything in there that should affect perks, or even menus...... At least, nothing obvious.....

Have you tried updating your video drivers??

So basically I just have to disable some plugins until their count is 255 for stable work, right? Exactly. :smile: Keep in mind, ESL files don't count toward that 255 limit.Thank you sir, that really was the solution of problem, after I disabled some mods all works fine and even game runs faster. Good Deal. :D Have fun!!

Are you running any sort of ENB?

As I explained earlier, the "well regulated militia" was written as the superior or most important clause in the Amendment. What the American Supreme Court did was to eliminate the "well regulated" portion of the Amendment, which is the very definition of Judicial Activism. And I will leave that there. At the time that was written, "Well Regulated" meant "Functions Properly", not "restricted by law". That too has been discussed quite frequently here in the US. "Well regulated" means neither "Functions Properly" nor "Restricted by law". Remember, militia have a long history which predates the American Revolutionary War. In the 1600s, militia were used to fend off attacks by indigenous peoples who resented being pushed off their lands. Militia were used during the war between England and France over control of the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River region as well as for control of the greater Mississippi drainage area. Militia were also used as posses, in the event there was a need to track down and return a fleeing felon. So, militia have a long and somewhat checkered history in North America. "Well regulated" meant accountable to a governmental or municipal entity for direction and oversight, just as they placed the military under civilian control. Militias, or any group of armed men, possess the potential to turn from protectors to vigilantes. To the writers of the Constitution and the Amendments, "well regulated" literally meant "under control of and responsible too", because a bunch of armed men with no control of oversight are little more than a mob. There are a fair few constitutional scholars that disagree with you. Not to mention the Supreme Court. Think I will go with their interpretation, not yours.......

Generally, that's a result of running too many mods. The hard limit is 255. That includes the base game, and any DLC's you are running.

If you are using OBSE, you watch for the keypress to close the book, once it has been opened.

There are several. :) I use Build High. You can get pretty tall with that..... there are also mods that raise, or even eliminate the item count limitation...... Quick search will turn up numerous options.

Running the beth high-res texture pack? Or any other mods that change textures? Nvidia card: Try setting Ambient Occlusion to Ambient Occlusion (HBAO+) Ultra

I've been running NMM for quite some time now, and I have never seen that error.... what settings are getting corrupted?

Once precombines are broken in a save, they stay broken. Just disabling the mods that broke them won't change anything. Uninstall all mods that break them, verify they aren't disabled in any of your ini files, then start a new game, and see how framerates are.

Probably a good plan...... :) I think the longer you wait, the more likely you will find cards for good prices. Of course, by next year, the Nvidia 50 series (and 40 series) cards will likely have come out too. :D

Trouble is, from what I have seen, with the values of various crypto-currencies remaining high.... I don't see the boom being 'over' any time soon. And we also have the supplies issues with the chips. So long as the pandemic is still an issue, that's gonna be a problem too. We have been able to get various cards at work, even for reasonable prices. And we can sell them at a pretty serious profit...... (which we do.... yep, scalpers.....) I am waiting for our next round of 3060Ti's to come in, and I will likely buy one..... Should last me for the foreseeable future. :D I don't see vid card prices coming to to anything I would consider 'reasonable'.... for at least a few more months. If you have vid cards of recent vintage you want to get rid of, now is certainly the time. We are getting really good prices on even 570's and such. :D

The are all the same game, and all require steam. Just be sure the version you get includes all the DLC. :D

There is an official support thread over on Beth.net.... Could try posting there.

Did you do anything with precombines? Load any mods that break them? What background processes are running? With that rig, you shouldn't have ANY FPS issues, at all......

Bad texture/mesh?

Those who are willing to give up their freedom for security, will have neither. And the writings of the various founding fathers have been interpreted in a multitude of ways. I do believe that 'defending ourselves from an authoritarian government' entered into the argument for the 2nd amendment as well. Please take note what happened in almost every country that banned civilian ownership of firearms. Millions dead, at the hands of their own government.

Hhhmmm.... Might want something with more system RAM, but, definitely something with more Video RAM.......
