[What to do with lvlanimal in my exterior cell]

Ironman, are you sure that's correct? I would have thought deleting them would create potential for CTDs with any other mod that attempts to alter them in some way. Try to disable them. I'm not sure offhand whether that is possible with that form type.

[Tracked mods being wiped]

I'm sure the site admins are looking into it. Until they know more, they can't comment. They might find a way to restore the data. If it is permanent, I think it's a small price to pay for the MAJOR site upgrades.

[Logging in to skyrimnexusmods help]

I had this issue, and it was resolved after deleting my nexusmods.com cookies AND resetting my router (to snag a new IP address). Could have been coincidence though.

[Cluster move complete, a few bugs to fix]

Things seem to be working really smoothly, comments always load like a dream. Thank you!

[MOD Creators M.I.A.]

It's unlikely the mod author doesn't check the comments once in a while. If they consider their mod to be in its final state, there is no obligation for them to respond. The comment section is just that: for comments. Not for messages directly to the author. Posting comments that say "you should do this" or "you should do that" or "this mod just doesn't work" (user fails to mention they are using cracked version of the game) or simply asking the same question for the umpteenth time, especially if it is already answered in the description--all of these may seem like no big deal to most mod users, but they are tiring to many mod authors after a while. You really can't blame them if they protect their sanity by just ignoring the comments all together.

[Adding a spell through dialogue]

Try adding the property through the properties tab, not manually. This will ensure it goes in the right place for a fragment.

[Toggling GMST in MCM]

In your AddToggleOption function, add OPTION_FLAG_DISABLED. Like this:

 

MusicSpeechToggle = AddToggleOption("Music Increases Speechcraft", 1, OPTION_FLAG_DISABLED)

[Falskaar Lost Knowledge bug]

You're more likely to get help if you ask about this in the Falskaar comment thread.

[Falkskaar Bug !]

I'm sure if you report this on the proper thread (not here), AJV will look into it. But you're going to have to do a lot better than "game gets all weird looking" for him to have any idea what you're talking about, whether it's an issue with his mod as opposed to some other issue or mod conflict, and if so how to fix it.

[Creationkit Error]

If you choose ignore, does it load anyway?

 

Also, do you have your language settings set correctly? It seems to be trying to find your localized strings. Try verifying your local game cache through Steam.

[Falskaar w/ SkyRe]

Who in their right mind *wouldn't* use the Guard Dialogue Overhaul? :blink:

[Creationkit Error]

Which release of Skyrim are you using?

[Favourite a Mod]

You can do this by Tracking mods.

[Toggling GMST in MCM]

I see. Here's an example snipped from one of my scripts:

scriptname _LP_ConfigQuestScript extends SKI_ConfigBase
 
GlobalVariable Property _LP_SettingMusicSpeech Auto
 
String[] Pages
Int MusicSpeechToggle
 
Event OnConfigInit()
    Pages = new String[1]
    Pages[0] = "Options"
EndEvent
 
Event OnPageReset(String Page)
    If (Page == "")
        LoadCustomContent("skyui/res/mcm_logo.dds", 258, 95)
        Return
    Else
        UnloadCustomContent()
    EndIf
 
    If (Page == "Options")
        SetCursorFillMode(TOP_TO_BOTTOM)
        MusicSpeechToggle = AddToggleOption("Music Increases Speechcraft", _LP_SettingMusicSpeech.GetValue() As Int)
    EndIf
EndEvent
 
Event OnOptionHighlight(Int Option)
    If (Option == MusicSpeechToggle)
        SetInfoText("Whether playing music increases your speechcraft skill")
    EndIf
EndEvent
 
Event OnOptionSelect(Int Option)
    If (Option == MusicSpeechToggle)
        If _LP_SettingMusicSpeech.GetValue() As Int == 0
            _LP_SettingMusicSpeech.SetValue(1)
            SetToggleOptionValue(Option, 1)
        Else
            _LP_SettingMusicSpeech.SetValue(0)
            SetToggleOptionValue(Option, 0)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndEvent

[Toggling GMST in MCM]

I'm pretty familiar with basic MCM menu scripts, but what is GMST?

[Event triggered upon entering a cell]

I think the way the health bar is working is the way it's supposed to work given the way you have it set up. By modding their health higher with the active effect, you're setting it above 100%, not raising what the 100% value is. To do the latter, you would probably need to adjust the base actor health rather than add a temporary health buff.

[Alternatives to Economics of Skyrim's blacksmithing/ enchanting se]

Okay, as I get down to actually implementing this, I have a couple of more questions:

 

How do I make this mod "balanced?" Meaning, if a certain blacksmith (let's say Eorlund) is capable of upgrading weapons to Legendary, what is to prevent a character from saving up his money and taking his weapon straight to Eorlund, making his weapon then overpowered very early in the game? In the base game, this is not an issue since you have to level up quite a bit to get your smithing to 100.

 

Do I make a system where different quality upgrades cost you more? So perhaps Eorlund could do all the different levels of upgrades, but Legendary is really, really expensive (thereby making it later-game content)?

[None replacer mods not working]

If you have a Steam version, it will update automatically. Sometimes you have to restart Steam to force it to happen.

[Bards, Barding, and Speechcraft]

I'm sorry I assumed-- Almost always, if someone is missing Update.esm, it's because they are not using a Steam version, so I expected horses, not zebras. Sorry about that. Glad you got it working.

[House Ownership With Console]

Just do this:

 

player.additem f 50000

 

or some other gold amount. Then buy the house. If you have any left over gold, you can leave it in a respawning barrel somewhere or just player.removeitem f X, where X is the left over amount you want to remove.

[Bards, Barding, and Speechcraft]

Yeah, it helps if you buy the game. You'll likely run into other problems down the road if you try to mod a cracked copy, no matter what updates you get.

[Bards, Barding, and Speechcraft]

 

Become a Bard

 

Also, search for "Play & Bash."

So if I do something dumb like play Age of Oppression in the Blue Palace will I be attacked?

 

 

Not with the version that is currently released. A new version is being tested for release... soonish.

[Bank Robbery and hostage mod]

I seriously considered adding a bank to Skyrim for an economics-themed mod I'm working on. But then I decided it didn't really fit with Skyrim. The closest thing Skyrim has is the Treasury House, in corrupt Markarth, which hoards all the money and pays pittances to the workers. So, perhaps you could rob the Treasury House? :)

 

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

 

Oh, what poor Thomas Jefferson would think of his country today.

[Alternatives to Economics of Skyrim's blacksmithing/ enchanting se]

This is interesting. I will do a simple mod that adds these two options. How should I handle smithing perks? Should the improvement level be calculated as if the smiths had the "can improve twice as much" stat for all weapons? I would make it race-dependent (i.e., Ghorza can improve Orc weapons twice as much), but obviously there aren't blacksmiths for all the races.
