I have made some bookcases for my player home and they functionally work. I click on the activator, inventory opens, books go in, all works.....EXCEPT I have dancing books. Although it can be amusing to watch them bounce around on their shelves or hover over them by an inch or two, the entertainment wears off quickly. I have added all the collision cubes, resized them, adjusted them in every way I can imagine (and I have a big imagination!), made certain none of them are clipping the books, blah, blah, blah.....it seems worse on the top two shelves. the bottom two seem to work fine in most attempts. How can I tame my dancing books? I'm at a loss here. :wallbash:

Thank you! It's definitely not ready for a full install thingy I don't think. It's just the house with some clutter. It does use some custom statics and two custom scripts. Would just enabling the plugin be alright then? The house still needs to be navmeshed and I haven't even started with the exterior. I just wanted to make sure there aren't any gaps and that my lights look alright before i start navmeshing it.

I built the interior of my house and want to see it's progress in the game. Mainly I want to make certain there are no gaps in the structure or floating items. Vortex manages my mods. How do I get it to show my mod as active?

Thanks! Building everything I can in interior cells is an awesome idea!

That worked beautifully. Thank you so much!

The tutorial I'm following for my house mod is at TESA....in the instructions, it tells you when you're getting ready to set your house in the exterior world, to find your cell and rename it if it the "wilderness" name hasn't been changed. I found a spot....it was named "Wilderness" so i changed it's name to my mod.....Then I loaded up the game and high-tailed it to the spot I placed....all looked good, but....on the way there, I went through a different spot, not far from where I put it, that I like better....sooooo.....what do I do? I'm I stuck with the original spot or is there a way to undo what I've already done? Man I so suck at this. lol Forgive me for being an idiot.

Thank you everyone. I'm not new to modding. I've been modding Dragon Age for years, but....Skyrim seems much more finicky with load orders and frowning on too much scripting (how much is really too much??? lol). It has taken me months of just getting a stable game using other modders work and to the point I feeling daring enough to play around under the hood myself. lol I will probably have a lot of noob/dumb questions over the coming days. Thank you again.

I know this will probably sound dumb, but here goes.....is it alright to make a temporary interior cell to house all my grouped items like filled shelves and baskets so you can copy and paste them to different rooms or other cells to keep from having to make them over and over? a completely terrible run-on sentence, but i think it's understandable. lol it's my first time making a mod for skyrim.

I got it fixed and I have a pic of it, but I can't for the life of me get it to take my link to it on imgur. It keeps telling me I can't post that extension on this site....it's a jpg. Oh well. https://imgur.com/a/onigBf7

My specs: Operating System Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU Intel Core i5 @ 2.90GHz 41 °C Coffee Lake 14nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz (15-15-15-36) Motherboard Micro-Star International Co. Ltd.

Imaginator is already set to boost saturation +10. I haven't touched the brightness/contrast tho so I will try that. As for facelight, I got it and it's all well and good I suppose, but I don't know now to target myself....sooooo....Seriously, I don't get why this is doing this at all. Although my pc isn't NASA approved or anything like that, the specs are good. I can play the game with a steady 60 fps with everything set on the ultra values. Everyone's screenshots of characters made with CBBE and BS all look great, but mine looks like the butt end of ugly on a mule. All I want is skin textures without dirt and decent hair. All the CBBE and body slide stuff doesn't mean a thing to me. I tend to like attrractive, but realistic characters....the enormous boobs, butts, and half-naked women running around isn't my thing. I don't fault anyone who wants that, but all I want is no dirty bodies...including the neck. lol If someone could kindly tell me of a way to get without all the other stuff, that would be great.

Turning off Imaginator did nothing, but I've figured it out. It's shadows from her hair. If I change to hairstyles that leave the neck region largely bare, it's fine. Unless there is a way to turn off hair shadowing, I'm just going to have to find her a different hairstyle. oh well.

For some reason, all my female player characters created at the start of the game have a hideous gray neck and I haven't been able to find anything to address this issue. Modding Skyrim is an all new experience for me, so I'm not really sure if I'm giving ya'll all the necessary information, but here's what I've got....Any help fixing this would really be appreciated.

I am using Nether's Follower Framework & convenient Horses. The description for NFF says that you can turn off the followers' horse options or tweak them, but I can find nothing that mentions horses at all in the follower commands. I really would love to turn it off because it is annoying when my team summons their horses and a herd of other horses show up as well. Could someone please tell me how to turn it off? Thanks.

I have a few mods (nothing huge) that I manually installed, but now I want to install vortex. Do i need to uninstall the existing mods or will vortex find them and add them to the whatever it does?

After years of playing Skyrim (on ps4), I'm finally going to play Oblivion for the first time and I wanted to add a few new followers. Anyway, after browsing the follower categories just a little bit, I found one I liked in the "Companions - CM Based" category....What exactly are CM followers? Do they have special requirements or something? I know...total noob questions but oh well. lol

Is it possible to run two versions of DAO on the same pc like maybe on different drives? I like the gog version better because it comes with a lot more stuff, but I dont want to have to mess with reinstalling the toolset and all that other junk too. So would it break anything to install the gog version on my backup drive and play from there and use the original for just toolset purposes?

thank you so much!

I have looked in the wiki for something to explain how to install mods in Skyrim, but I'm not finding anything. I've played Skyrim for years on PS4, but I finally shelled out the $$$ to get it for pc...and now I want to add mods....A link would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, LH

There is a way to do it with awakening. I read a tutorial on it once, but it said it could be game breaking. So I never actually did it. I dont know how the gog version will work with the toolset. I gave my old computer to the grandkids and installed the gog one on that. Then I applied my "no romance" mod to it. Lol They are only ten and eleven. So they also have the desire demon covered and the lady of the forest retexture mods. I didnt install the toolset at all on it. Honestly tho I'm tempted to uninstall my dvd version and use the gog version. I *thought* I had everything but I thought wrong.

The reason I hate the overlay so much is because my grandkids like to play it and its annoying having to stop what I'm doing to go put in the password every time they want to play it. As for it being truly unlocked I'm not really sure what you mean. This gog stuff is new to me. It doesn't require logging in to anything to load it, but I havent actually played it other than to make a character.

Omg it worked! Thank you soooooooo much! I HATED that login screen. Lol now about what you said about DAI.....do you have to play it online or just be logged into it?

Oh I already bought the gog version of DAO ultimate for the grandbabies. It was only $5. As for da2, how do i set it up I don't have to put a password in every time I play it? I've already made a short cut to the executable but it still brings up that annoying origin login app.

I have the retail dvds….I'm not sure where I bought them but I'm thinking Walmart...years ago. DAO was originally a Christmas gift for my son, but they (the dlcs and awakening) are all registered legally to me. The only thing I have through Origin is DA2 and I *HATE* it. it's annoying to have to sign into it EVERY stinking time I or a kid wants to play it. It's my biggest turn-off on going digital. But the GOG version I bought doesn't make me do that, so I don't mind it as much.

Thank you. :) My son wanted to try building one and he did good! As for adding the mods, I did play all the way up to the end of Ostagar and it did beautifully. It didn't start acting up until after I started adding mods....and I did figure out which mod broke it....and it wasn't the Thedosian armors mod. It was MINE. It wasn't the first time one of my mods broke my stuff and I'm sure it won't be the last. lol It's fixed and now it's running like a champ. :) I still have a LOT of stuff left to install before I can get my creativity flowing again, tho.
