Right. So, I'm looking for a custom house mod. But a specific custom house. I want one that has the beauty, rustic home-feeling, and amenities(namely, specific displays for nearly every thing in Skyrim+DLCs, and all things needed for smithing and enchanting) of this house, yet also have beautiful exterior views like the Lakeview Manor's wrap around deck option. Is there anything that has the best of both worlds, and requires all three DLCs, yet hopefully doesn't require additional mods to get your wife/kids to live there)? I don't need a humongous mansion. Just something that looks like a modest home, has what I want and what my Hearthfire family wants, yet also has awesome exterior views.

The only memory patch I have is the one that comes with SKSE (I have the latest version).

So you're pretty much telling me, it doesn't matter what version of Skyrim they were made for?

Please be honest. Also, this seems to be the place to get advice on their load orders. Though I don't see why the Mod Talk category isn't. Anyway, here's my order; Skyrim.esm Update.esm Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Dawnguard.esm Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp HearthFires.esm Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp Dragonborn.esm Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp ClimatesOfTamriel.esm HighResTexturePack01.esp HighResTexturePack02.esp HighResTexturePack03.esp Unofficial High Resolution Patch.esp ABT - Progressive Damage (Vanilla).esp ABT - Faster Arrows Improved +100%.esp SkyUI.esp Convenient Horses.esp Immersive Sounds - Compendium.esp EternalTorch.esp ABT - Faster Bolts Improved +100%.esp ImmersiveFP.esp LinearSmithing.esp Skyrim Immersive Creatures.esp Skyrim Immersive Creatures - DLC2.esp Bashed Patch, 0.espI don't have that many mods, but I have gotten a few random CTDs here and there(but only in Skyrim. Didn't get one crash in Dawnguard). Nothing all that major. My saves load fine. Also, I use Mod Organizer, that uses LOOT to sort the order.

The thing is, 3/4 of the mods I have, they don't have what version they were made from in their descriptions. And the comments, also won't have been changed since the mod was out. Is this a sign the mod is dead and avoid to avoid bugs like CTDs? Or, just unpopular?

Just a random question to all mod makers. When you (or don't) make updates to your mod, will your mod try its best to work with whatever version of Skyrim is out there, unlike Minecraft? I've downloaded a few old mods I had in the past, and they surprisingly still work. But are they more buggy, or do they not matter? Or does it just all depend on how they're coded?

I've seen this twice with Immersive Creatures installed, and only in the Soul Carin. After passing the wall, going through the first structure, and over the destroyed one, I see this. Some floating grass, and only in this one area. Why does it happen, and how can I fix it? I remember there is 'a' fix for floating grass, but I just want this fixed. EDIT: Hmm. Closing out my game and reloading the save, the floating grass bug disappears. Interesting.

I searched to hell and back on Google and even YouTube, hoping someone has a map of Corundum Ores in Blackreach. Of course I need them for my house in Hearthfire. Now I've heard of these Geode Ores and how sometimes you can get this ore, but you can also get other ore and even leveled soul gems. I just need Corundum, and I'm not at the level yet to acquire the quest Boethiah's Calling, to access the 19 reported veins in Knifepoint Ridge.

I kind of like the look of Lakeview Manor (especially the option to have that walk around deck with amazing views of the lake), but it doesn't have things that I love about Elysium Estate, or any other custom house mod. Namely, I want to see specific display things in the house that I can show off, like Dragon Claws, Dragon Priest Masks, and places to put Dragonborn, Dawnguard, Thieves Guild, and Skyrim artifacts. Not even in the trophy room and armory options, does it have this. I don't understand why not. Would be nice if I could have these options. I just want more free customization. I want to stop feeling so... limited. And stop feeling I wasted 5000 gold (or even $5 on this DLC). I also would like to have a specific room for Smithing and Enchanting, that everything is in one place, instead of "Enchanter Table here, Smelter outside way over there, Tanning Rack upstairs".. etc.

Here's to waiting until the servers calm down and the Steam Summer Sale ends. Still, I feel instead of seeing "An error occurred", how about "Servers are overloaded right now. Please try again later."

Happening again. Before, I could get at least 1-2 chances. Now everytime, "An error occurred". Really? "An error occurred" doesn't tell me what happened. :down: If it is overloaded, then why can't it say "Servers are overloaded. Please try again some other time" instead of "An error occurred".

I'm trying to learn how to use this thing. I'm a long time NMM user, and the transition has been quite, confusing. I'm using version 1.2.6 (the latest). EDIT: I have a 3rd question now. Now, here's my questions. 1. In the Plugins folder, it shows the High Res texture packs and the unofficial patch, all with a 'Brush' flag next to them. Mousing over one says "This file is a dummy!". Is this a concern? 2. Playing with the profiles. Love what I'm hearing that I can create gameplay profiles that won't screw up the game. It sounds similar to something like MagicLauncher for Minecraft. So I create a test one, and I see... what looks like the load order messed up of the left pane? Namely, it has the unofficial patches and the High Res textures loading before the DLCs. Again, is this a concern? I also see the same thing in the Archives tab. Yet in the Plugins tab, the load order is correct. 3. How does downloading mods from the Steam Workshop work with MO?

Thank you for the guide. But I really doubt this would help. When I was trying to fix the issue, I had done a complete reinstall of Skyrim(wiped out everything related to the game), twice, and that didn't help me. The only thing that did, was a reinstall of Windows. All I want to know, will doing a System Restore fix the problem? ... Can anyone look into the future and see if it'll help me? I'll even sell my soul to Hermaeus Mora to know. :tongue:

Hmm. I thought it was my popup blocker(AdBlock Plus) causing it. I was trying to download one of the hot mods. And everytime I tried, it kept failing the download, or when it finally showed the downloading page, it took a long time until I got it.

Thanks for responding. Now, I'm not saying a System Restore wouldn't help if the issue happens again, but, my question is if (which I should had said in the OP but forgot...) I have Steam in my D drive, which I bought Skyrim years ago is on there. Should I tell System Restore to protect the D drive by "Only restore previous versions of files", or is it pointless to, and only the C drive will work? Again, I just want some sort of insurance (if it was registry corruption, that is) that the problem can be reverted and I won't need to reinstall Windows again. I know how to do a hard save in Skyrim. But that too, I'm hearing even with this, may or may not remove all traces of the mod(s) if I fall back to it. This isn't as simple as just doing this if it starts to happen again. If it's the registry, I need an "advanced" backup. I have no proof it was a mod that caused the issue in the first place. The only thing I know, it's something I did. But to know what that something was, I need help from my computer to save it. Only then, will I 100% know the exact cause and how to prevent it. I know I'm working myself over this. But I just got the damn thing fixed. I have to make sure it doesn't happen again, so I can freely play with no worries.
