Ugh, don't remind me...

@harlandgg Check and any firewalls on your PC, your router or modem, etc. If you aren't using a third-party antivirus or firewall on your PC (like McAfee, Norton, Avast, etc), then start at the built-in Windows Security/Microsoft Defender in your Windows settings. (I don't use Vortex or Windows myself, so I don't know the steps for this offhand. I went from Win7 to Linux, and never used MS's antivirus/security stuff.)

@Livania47 First of all, what version of Skyrim SE are you running? If it's the current 1.6.1170 or higher, then read on. There was an issue with SkyUI and changing difficulty settings in newer versions of Skyrim SE. Quest Journal Fix fixes this ... and makes the Flashing Savegames Fix obsolete too, I gather -- at least in game version 1.6.1170. The Flashing Savegames Fix was already obsoleted by the Difficulty Persistence Fix in 1.6.1130, which Quest Journal Fix incorporates a version of. (Please forgive me if I make any mistakes here. It's late and I'm tired, and it's been months since I've had to mess with any of this. So I've had to reconstruct some of this by peeking at my own setup and browsing around these mods' descriptions and comments.) EDIT: Also, the Skyrim forums are under Game Communities, either at the top of any forum page (on desktop) or in the ≡ menu > Browse (on mobile). Hit Join Community next to Skyrim there, or next to any other specific games' forums you want to post in.

Well, how do you have MO2 set up? Are you using a single MO2 install, with all your games set up in it? Or separate "portable" MO2 installs for each game?* (Full disclosure: I do not have FNV set up in MO2 yet, but I am familiar with MO2 from using it -- and MO1 before it -- with Skyrim and Oblivion.) * I do separate installs myself, since it works better with my Linux setup. Plus it's how I was used to doing things in MO1 anyway when I was still on Windows.

Well, the second one means either: You need the right version of Address Library (the one for 1.6.1170, if you're running that version of Skyrim SE now). Or possibly your downgrade back to a previous version (e.g., 1.5.97, 1.6.640) might not have been completely successful. Or possibly Vortex and/or your game are confused about which version you have now. I'm not familiar with Vortex myself (been using Mod Organizer 2 instead), so I'm not sure what to do with the first one, beyond maybe hitting Install Dependencies to reinstall those apparently-missing mods. I'm also not familiar with the downgrade process, since I didn't even have SE set up until the current 1.6.1170 had already dropped, and I haven't downgraded.

Indeed, in MO2 I have a few different profiles for just this kind of thing -- a "minimal mods" profile and a "very minimal mods" profile, and a "no mods" profile. (In addition to a "mod testing" copy of my regular profile, to make sure something plays nice with my existing mod setup.)

Castle Volkihar Rebuilt gets rid of them at some point on the Dawnguard side. But I don't remember the details since I last played through there.

Probably. But you'd have to do it manually, since rockerbacon's install script only works with Steam versions. And likely have to manually point their copies of MO2 to where the game files are. I don't know exactly how ATTW works, but is it possible to just use a different MO2 profile for it? Or is enough different in the game folder itself to make that impractical? I use the Linux version of OpenMW for Morrowind myself; it's a free-and-open-source replacement game engine (the .exe itself) for Morrowind. It has its own built-in mod manager, that (like MO) can load mods from separate folders outside the game. * in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/ on my PC; not sure where the Steam Deck keeps this. <number> will be the app ID number Steam gives these non-Steam installs.

I'm on Manjaro Linux on my PC, so the process is similar for me. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to installing MO2 for FO3 or NV yet -- only Skyrim LE and SE, and Oblivion -- though I'll certainly update in here if I do! (I'm also still on MO 2.4.4 for the moment. Maybe I'll try the current installer and see how MO 2.5 does with it.)

Indeed, I've seen people get reinstated before. Moderators usually update the person's ban thread when it happens; they add a new post and change "BANNED" to "REINSTATED" in the title.

Granted. Somebody fakes your death and forges your will, and runs off with all that money you made. I wish the weather wasn't changing so abruptly here. (Yesterday was summer-like warm-and-sunny, today is normal fall cool-and-cloudy, and tomorrow is late-fall cold-and-rainy/snowy.)

I ban @Pagafyr because I'd rather Turn Up the Radio.

Space is what you can see when you look up at night.

If so, are they less hazardous than tetraethyl lead was?

What version of MO2 are you using? Looks like QT (the UI framework MO2 uses for its interface) is complaining about MO2 using some UI-scaling feature that's not supposed to be used anymore, and suggesting alternatives. (This is more a message for MO2's developers, not its users.)

What game is this from? Not being familiar with it, that blue circle almost looks like it's part of the gun.

I forgot there was a thread about this a while back:

While I've used Mod Organizer in some form since 2013. Though I don't have NV set up in it at the moment. Yah, there should be something out there about getting mods to work in it with Vortex, given how many people use it now. I know MO2 has its own way of handling archive invalidation (checkbox in your MO2 profiles), but I have no idea about how Vortex does.

I don't remember if I needed to do that on Linux too, or Steam/Proton and Wine already came with it or auto-installed it.

Indeed -- that's as bad as https://xkcd.com/979/

That is weird; I've never seen MO do anything like that. Although ... what antivirus do you use? Have you tried whitelisting MO2 and Skyrim with your antivirus -- tell it "these files and folders are safe, don't look over their shoulder too closely"? (Kind of a shot in the dark; I moved from Windows 7 to Linux some years ago and no longer use an antivirus.)

Beat me to that one! And yet I'm wondering just what issue coridon was having. Was it an incorrect password? Capchas not working? Part of the page not loading? Maybe the site or their ISP was having issues, and they needed to try again later? The world may never know...

Indeed. I've had good online roleplays on both sides of that kink, myself. But I'd also expect someone who wasn't into it to move along to something else.

Hmm, I'm going to have to think about this one a while. I've long had a thing for orcs myself, but there are plenty of others I like too, from griffins to dragons to lizardfolk like Argonians.
