Adipose

Made mistake. Downloaded AESE. Several old standby mods don't work now. Frex, Schlongs doesn't work now. Questionable whether creator will update it on LL. I don't spend a lot of time doing the horizontal mambo with bitmaps but it's nice for characters to look like real nekked people. Frustrating. Have updated those that I could find but papyrus giving me trouble...along with a few others that are needed. AFSE won't run. Have uninstalled and falling back to Le. That runs just fine, the way I want it to run...most of the time. Thirty-four gets jammed up on occasion. Oh well, there's always F4. That runs just fine out of the box and I'm content with it for the most part. Far less buggy than Skyrim.

Skyrim LE Four dead word walls now. Annoying. Tried to max out "Ice Form". Two dead. Frustrating.

Interesting dungeon. Kinda tedious. Bit disappointing. Couldn't find all three of the "opague vessels". Quite possibly a screw up on my part. Lots of heavy spells being thrown around. Quite possible hit one and sent it flying to who knows where. Be nice if there was a map that had "X" marking the location of all three vessels. Level 65. Lots of high level Draugher. Good for filling Grand gems. Second word wall fatally bugged. Wouldn't light up. Chest had a handful of gold. Don't really need any at this point. I'm stinking rich. Did manage to lower the retractable spikes in front of the second word wall. Did so by jumping on top of the pedestal in front. Found that solution by checking on-line. Hey, I gave it my best shot. Spent at least fifteen minutes hunting for a chained ring, handle, etc. Finally gave up and did a small cheat. Would've been nice if I could've helped the Spectre take down the boss at the end. Oh well, so it goes. That's three wordwalls now that wouldn't light up. Now that's just not acceptable.

I really liked Jackerman's set of Thane mods. Since they needed to have high poly heads, I looked up the "Vector Plexus" site and attempted to join. Fortunately my Firefox Security IMMEDIATELY warned me off. Basic thrust of the warning was that VP was a nest of hackers and I shouldn't go there. Having been hacked a few times, I took the warning seriously and dispensed with any plans to use hp heads. Too bad really. Jackerman's work is top of the line.

There is a mod that includes a comprehensive spell that can be cast to force followers to quit fighting. I've forgotten what the mod is named. Does anyone know the name? Inside Lakeview Manor my resident followers are fixated on attacking a mannequin in the armory and it's becoming a bit of a problem.

I use "Adventurer's Tent". I also use "Mannequins Behave", which is a very good mod. I also had "Immersive Animations" installed. Mannequins in the tent did not behave, even though the mannequin mod is rock solid. On a hunch I disabled "Immersive Animations". Mannequins now behave. Go figure. KISS is a universal principle.

Okay, here's the situation. I've got conflicts among my mods. First off, how do I open "xedit"? Second, barring the build of a very expensive, state of the art PC, what not quite top of the line components should I put in? Right now, I've got trouble with mods that make a lot of changes. Frex, I installed a 2k mod that enhanced detail in Skyrim in-general. That caused unpredictable CTDs, particularly in Whiterun...which tends to be buggy anyway. Is it possible to build a PC that will be able to cope with just about any mod that FNIS can install?

I've a rather large number of complex mods installed. Frequently I'll have a CTD occurring during the performance of an action that's been performed many, many times before with no problem. Lately, I've had two CTDs when simply adding items to a chest. I just don't get it. Anyone got any suggestions? I wonder if it's simply a matter of going back and uninstalling some demanding mods that I can probably do without.

Did that. Made no noticeable difference. Mod still very tricky to accommodate. Simply not worth the hassel...at least to me.

Many thanks for the input. I'll take a close look at all the mods you've linked. Again, thanks.

Over five thousand players have posted likes on this mod. I'm currently running a game with it installed. The mod forces you to really plan ahead for every combat encounter, because you can't pause to change spell, potions or weapons and the structure of the game is such that you can't shift from one to the other without stopping. That means that while you're stopped to do a shift, the opponent is right on your arse and smacking the crap out of you. It also means that you can't pause in order to stop for a snack, to go pee, or any other normal activity. If anyone knows of any mod that enables you to shift spells, potions, or weapons while on the run I'd like to be able to install it. I'm probably not aware of a work around for this problem, since I'm not particularly well versed in the intricacies of the game and modding in general. Edit: After being whacked twice halfway through Bleak Falls at level four, I gave up, downloaded a very competent follower, recruited her and finished the run with no problems. Okay, so I made it easy on myself. At my age I don't need the stress.

Level 1 near Whitewatch Tower. Up on hill overlooking ravine leading uphill from tower. Two giants and their Mammoth. Attacked by group of bandits. Giants wiped bandits. I pulled aggro on one giant. Thought I was safe. He was Really determined to turn me into very flat roadkill. I ran to tower and started filling him with arrows. AI sent the guards against him piecemeal. He wiped the whole garrison then I took off and he pursued right down the road to Whiterun. He wiped two or three road guards and a local female farmer who attacked him on the way. Reached bridge. Two or three local guards joined the fray along with an Imperial prisoner escort detail. Between us we finally put him down. I put fifty iron arrows into him. Between me and the local bitmap detail, the giant was a pincushion. NEVER had that level of pursuit happen before. Apologies for this if it's boring. Regarding game action, at level one, it was pretty consuming. Did manage to strip bit bodies of all their gear. That was handy...if entirely cynical.

Do I need Frostfall and "Wet and Cold" in order to have that kind of experience in Skyrim Redone?

Now I know.

Nope, no vampire bite. Checked active effects and I'm starving. Supposed to end in 24 hours. Way past that in game time right now. Looks like a bug of some kind. I'll go back in and do mod assessment until the problem's eliminated.

Everyone, thanks for the input. I've grown old and tend to forget a few things these days. Checking system was one of them. Solved the problem. Thanks again.

Okay. Got sloppy and went too long without eating. Now suffering some kind of starvation effect in which stamina goes way down and vision is red tinted. Have eaten a LOT of food and consumed a LOT of water. Stamina still way down and I'm seeing red. Sleeping knocks stamina down below the line. Will it eventually recover or is the mod bugged? Otoh, I'm running Survivalism effects. Does that have something to do with it? Starting to become terminally annoyed and considering dispensing with some mods.

How do I save and exit Skyrim Se?

Won't load. skyre_main_esp requires Skyrim Unofficial Patch.esp message Any helpful suggestions. Can always uninstall SkyRe. Don't want to. Finally uninstalled. From my point of view, SkyRe simply to sensitive when it came to installing additional mods. Maybe my fault due to lack of expertise.

How come, by the time I hit level forty, I tend to become bored and have an urge to start over?

I've played Skyrim, literally, for thousands of hours of my actual existence. For the first time ever, I found Ulfberth War-Bear reduced to a pile of ashes up by the fruit and veg. stand. What's really annoying is that I don't have a clue as to who/what got him. A vamp probably scragged him and then did a resurrect but what in heck was he doing clear up by the market? FYI, I'm playing with no protection for essential characters. Makes the game more interesting...and occasionally screwed up.

Thanks for the input.

Okay, here's the situation. Just about into Winterhold. Jumped by a dragon. My avatar, plus two humanoid followers and Meeko, are fighting the D, when a passing Imperial patrol jumps into the fray. This is further complicated by two Trolls and a Snowcat that jump the lot of us. So, there we are, around eight NPCs and one PC fighting four hostile beasts. Spells and arrows are flying all over the place. Unbeknownst to me, 'cause I'm very busy, at least one of the Imperials is killed. Must've been either me or one of my followers that did him in, 'cause immediately after the four beasts are dealt with the Imperials and a nearby Winterhold guard jump me and my team. Normally, in a situation like that I'd simply fall back to an earlier save. I can't this time. So, since I've got a shoot-on-sight bounty on me, I can't get into the University for training. Is there any point where I'll be able to return there?

For my own personal reasons, I prefer to leave the Giants and their Mammoths alone. Further, I tend to intervene when they're jumped by Dragons, Bandits, etc. Invariably, when the baddies are eliminated they'll turn on me and my followers. Assuming it's possible, it would be nice if someone could do a mod in which the Giant crew would show gratitude instead of hostility when I've just saved their backsides. Today, my character and his crew saved five mammoths from a dragon attack by killing the dragon. It was a long, drawn out fight. After my avatar and crew did in the dragon, the tuskers turned on my character and crew. We were forced to kill the four surviving mammoths for precious little gain. I didn't even have appropriate soul gems equipped. To top it all, down across the valley, two giants were standing and just looking. I swear, they seemed to realize the futility of the whole affair. Eventually they just turned and walked back to their camp. I know it's all just bitmaps and programming but sometimes it seems to border on something else. It may be time for me to get out more.

Thanks again. I'll have a look at'em.
