Ooops. It's Skyrim SE

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes. Does the number of saves you have in a run through have any adverse influence on your FPS or performance in general? My gaming computer is starting to show it's age so this is important to me. I run resaver regularly on my current play through which usually gives a boost. Deedee

----------------------------- I´ve just trashed Gimp and installed Paint.net. It opens all the files I can´t open in Gimp. Must be your great plugin (now part of the program install) that does the trip. Have a Great day and a great weekend. Deedee

I tried uninstalling everything, and just installed the Gimp program. It then refuses to recognize any DDS files. So I installed the plugin again and back to same problem. Will recognize SOME DDS files and not others. Maybe I´ll just trash it and try out Paint.net instead. Don´t really want something that´ll create great masterpieces. Just want to modify existing files.

Thanks for replying. My version is 2.10.32 The plugin I installed was the 64bit 3.0.1 version. I´ll try and uninstall the whole thing, reinstall and see if it changes anything. I assume it doesn´t matter whether I use the 32bit or 64bit plugin. By the way, is the Paint.net program you mentioned worth a try for a newbie?

I´m new to Gimp. I installed Gimp 2.0 and the DDS plugin as per instructions on Nexus Wiki. It´s been working fine with the DDS files I´ve worked on til now. I have CBBE Bijin skins installed. They work fine in game. I tried to load a texture file from this into Gimp and it gave me this error message: Unexpected DXGI format (90) I have also installed Texture Viewer from Github and this displays the File without any problems. What do I need to do/download to make Gimp use this file type. Much appreciate your help Deedee

I've always hated the way you become Thane in Skyrim The Dragonborn is a superhero for god's sake!! He's the only one who can stop the dragon scourge and the only one who can take down Alduin permanently!! Yet the Jarls degrade him by making him run round and do menial tasks for their citizens before he can become Thane???? It's not as if they're voting him in as Highking!!! Here's my take on becoming Thane: Start by doing the main quest line til you finish Dragon rising. At this piont you will be given the title of Thane of Whiterun. You can purchase Breezehome. You will be given Lydia as house Karl. It's important to do this quest as it is towards the end of dragon rising people realise you are Dragonborn. Here comes the change.... The houses in the other holds you get when becoming Thane are already occupied by a Thane in my scenario. All of them come from other parts of Tamriel. They are all old and tired and want to return home to live the last part of their life in peace. Away from dragons and the civil war. To become Thane you don't have to suck up to the Jarl. Just knock on the door of the "Thane" house in the hold you want to live in. The old Thane will open the door and recognise you as the Dragonborn. You say you have heard rumours that he wishes to sell his property. He'll say yes, if you meet his price. You hand over a large amount of gold. He'll sign the deeds over to you. He'll then say that he has no need of his Thane title as he intends to leave the hold permanently. He will then perform a short ceremony handing the title over to you and instruct his housekarl to serve you as well as he/she has served him. He will then leave after that. That's it. New title. New house. New housekarl. The house is fully furnished when you buy it, of course.

Hi. I use the RDO mod. Sometimes the gaurds will stop in awe and say "Is that Azura's star?. How did you come to pocess such a rare object?" Which is quite cool. What's uncool is the fact that you can't actually see it. Would someone please make a mod that will let you equip the star on your belt like you would onehanded weapons and pouches. It would't conflit with your weapons if it was clipped to the belt on the right side as all one handed weapons are attached on the left side. Regards Deedee

Thanks for the reply. It's slghtly different to the format structure I'm used to. Once again thanks for the clarification.

Hi guys A real non modder newby question... Can anyone tell what governs how a nif file reads a texture file. I know that if you install a .dds file with a different layout to the original you may end up having a nipple on your back and fingers on your chest etc. Not good.. Is it the .bsa file, the esp file or the nif itself. Deedee
