  1. Hey. I used to make mods. Skyrim mods, Fallout mods, etc. I literally made one of the most popular F04 mods ever in the first two years the game was out. Featured in hundreds of articles and YouTube videos etc. So don't lecture me on 'creating things'. My wife is dying. Literally. From a horrible cancer eating her alive that she's exhausted all treatments for. Every minute she is awake, I'm spending it with her. My day is PAIN 24/7 and exhaustion from two incurable rare diseases that have left me largely bedbound every moment I'm not taking care of her or my own basic needs. Every day my strength & mobility and dexterity diminish. That 'hour a day' I MIGHT have between dealing with basic survival for me & my wife, I'd like to NOT be engaged in a 'project' thanks very much. I just want to PLAY my favorite game while I still fvxking can for a little bit of a distraction from the hell of my life, and I'd like it to be modded with a few of my favorite things - particularly the mod that makes it worth replaying for me and supporting / companion mods. I don't want to waste the very, very precious time I have left relearning all the things my damaged brain has forgotten about modding, learning all the new things that have changed in the last years, or figuring out all the tedious time-eating junk of getting everything setup. This was the most ableist and disrespectful POS post imaginable. Even worse if you are actually a disabled person in any way.
  2. Hello all. I have been very sick for a long time and am permanently disabled. It has been years now since I have been able to play Skyrim and my very favorite mod DLC - Legacy. So I am seriously seriously behind on Skyrim modding in its present state. I don't even know if you have to clean masters anymore or remember how if you do! I'm doing a little better on new meds and would really love to have my game back as a distraction and help with pain management. But I have very limited ability to think through all the complexities of modding anymore (mild brain damage) and physically I have very limited time I can sit at a keyboard. So I am looking for someone who would be able to create an easily installed Nexus mod pack for me. Mostly just Legacy and related stable mods and some cosmetics for character & NPCS, and I wouldn't mind some prettying up with some graphics and landscape mods that don't conflict. If there is anyone that might be interested, please give me a DM. I am willing to pay well for the help.
  3. It's a learning curve that's for sure. I should clean up and upload my own preset sometime maybe LOL. Although it's probably rather boring to be honest. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
  4. Actually, this video shows all the things including where apartment preset saves go -
  5. Oh so sorry been out of town. You can save your apartment preset! I hope you didn't delete it already. You just need to save the apartment as a preset in game through AMM and then save the preset file it makes somewhere ourside the game folder and then pop it back in after you redo your mods. I'm on my phone so I can't type out how to do those things but I will tomorrow when I get online just in case you can still save it. And yeah, I dumped Redmod and any mods that require it. Too much messiness.
  6. I totally understand. It can be daunting dealing with modding at the beginning and yes, there is some snobbery from long term modders. I hope it won't push you off though. It can be such a fun and rewarding thing, refreshing old games and making them new again, or improving on newer games in ways that should have been in the game to begin with. Just FYI there is a mod that actually will actually remove all mods for you - very useful! https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/8597
  7. Well. You are going to get different people telling you different things. One of the biggest issues with Vortex is that many mod authors do not package their mods to be properly handled by Vortex installation. So things end up in the wrong folders and just will not work. And in some cases, Vortex just does not get along with certain kinds of mods. I have probably 300? mods for CP2077 and I mod entirely by hand. I download a mod manually, then I check to make sure it is packages in the correct file paths, and if not, I repackage it so that it is. Then I unzip the mod to my CP2077 main directory and store the zipped file separately so I always know what files to delete if I want to uninstall it for any reason. Considering how many times I've ended up with serious problems via Vortex and had to muck about for hours to fix them, I'd rather take the other time to mod manually. But it's really a personal choice. Whether you mod manually or using Vortex, there are two very, very important things that are the base of all modding. 1. Make sure you download the REQUIREMENTS for all mods. These are specified on the description page of the mods and usually when you download as well. 2. Make sure you know WHERE the mod files are supposed to go, and that the files are packaged properly to actually GO there, whether you are using Vortex or unzipping them manually to add to your game. It may seem complicated and annoying for a while, but whichever way you choose, once you get the hang of it, it will be easy enough. And it will change the way you play PC games forever. Especially in improving mediocre games to make them good, make good games great, and making great games so awesome you will just keep remodding and playing them for years and years.
  8. I'm a big fan of the Original Solo Body (since it looks super hot but works with almost all vanilla clothes & modded clothes for vanilla bodies) and the matching Solo Arms. A modder posted a lovely mod the past few days converting PL vanilla clothing for Solo SMALL BREAST Bodies & Solo Arms. Sadly, it did not have a conversion for Original Solo Body & Solo Arms or just Solo Arms alone. Nearly all vanilla clothing works fine for the Solo Original Body but a lot of the long sleeved items in the main game and PL have holes in the sleeves with the Solo Arms. But as far as I am aware, and I have done a lot of looking, there is no vanilla clothing conversion for the Solo Original Body & Solo Arms or just the Solo Arms alone either for the main game or PL.
  9. Thank you all for your input and advice. I appreciate you taking the time to give me so much information and the pros and cons of each. That's why I love the modding community. :D
  10. Hello all. So I'm coming back to modding Skyrim after a very long absence being ill. I was wondering, now that Skyrim SE is on GoG Galaxy and I saw some post on Reddit about it maybe being better to mod that version? So to all those modders out there who haven't been gone forever, which version would you suggest as the easier one to mod and the one less likely to get broken all the time by updates?
  11. In response to post #63130416. Actually, if it was a GOOD mousepad, with a wrist rest, I would actually buy that instead of just getting one from Amazon because I do need a new one... That's a good idea. Merch we gamers need anyway, instead of just stuff like mugs and t-shirts etc.
  12. Sure. Why not merch? I'm afraid I would be spending my extra money on computer upgrades and games... but maybe my wife might buy me a mug or something. :-)
  13. I never win anything. Sigh. That's my comment.
  14. This just started happening to me but in LE NOT SE. I don't know if I have permanently or only temporarily fixed it but: I deleted all but the last good set of .ess and .skse saves after backing them all up. Then I went in game and loaded that save. Then I deleted that save so there were no saves at all. Then I made a new save and quit the game. So back to save numbered one. Went back into game loaded the new save, and so far I have done a bunch of stuff and saved like ten times with no issue. Wish me luck...

  16. I think it is kind of not cool to take away all support for NMM. The latest version from the site has some issues as I'm sure y'all are aware, thus all the community fixes people are trying to provide. I just don't get why you had a great mod installation and maintenance program like NMM (at least for experienced modders who understood how to use it) and then felt you had to throw the whole thing out and leave everyone using it out to dry. Personally if it was too hard for someone to use, then go use something else. A lot of us really liked NMM as it was, and don't think reinventing the wheel is necessary.
  17. Thank you Kroekr! I did as you suggested and it weirdly turned out to be a house mod - An Adventurer's Abode, that was messing with the cooking pot activator script. Mod removed, and now all is well! You rock!
  18. Anyone have an idea how one might go about figuring out why I can't use any bloody cooking pot in the game (it says every one of them is in use when they aren't) without having to do the very tedius process of uninstalling one by one all my bloody 300+ mods on a load order that is pretty much perfect and never crashes and I don't want to mess up? Sigh.
  19. Bethesda needs a dedicated Modding Community Liaison who does nothing but work with modders to improve communication, tools, and development on both sides of the fence. I'd personally nominate you, icecream, or Chesko for the job. :-) Except it would take away from your modding time and I'm selfish, lol. Seriously though, Bethesda is missing massive opportunities for profit in my opinion, while building even stronger communities around their games, and that is the most mind boggling part to me. As for follower mods, there are thousands of them out there, literally. There is no huge demand for follower mods unless the poster is talking about custom-voiced, interactive, quest-based, really unique and interesting follower mods. Frankly I'm personally just constantly disgusted by seeing generic anime often prepubescent looking followers constantly cluttering up the Hot Files just because, well, boobs, instead of really great, awesome mods that took months and months (and years!) to make getting the attention THEY deserve.
  20. Awesome interview ICA! Legacy is, in my opinion, in the top five most epic game mods I've ever had the honor to enjoy, and I cannot wait to see what you may have in the store for us in the future. I agree with all of your commentary about Bethesda, and I hope that someday game design companies will figure out that using modders as a PAID resource would give huge longevity to their game titles, create more sales, and actually increase their profits. My big dream is that someday Bethesda in particular will see a mod like Legacy, and say 'wow' let's take this beyond the rather small modding community to the game community at large by PAYING the mod creator (in royalties at least) to collaborate on an official DLC. Saving Bethesda a TON of work, giving the mod author FUNDS to continue modding, and making a version of their amazing work that can be shared to the public at large. That would be awesome. :-)
  21. Can't wait to get that NMM update so I can start adding mods. :-)
  22. Do you know two things I would REALLY like to see? 1. Being able to completely uninstall and delete multiple mods at once. 2. Revert back to when you uninstall a fomod mod, and then reinstall it, it asks you for all the fomod options again. THAT one really irritates me. So I have to delete the entire mod again in order to change a fomod option. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
