I was not referring to base story structure. I was referring to a lot of visual ques, Such as young Lara Croft and Katniss both looking very similar, both using bows, both having somewhat the same hair style, both being around the same age, both in life or death situations that force them to make there first human kill. It all seems very much the same. I was not referring to the fight to the death sort of story, I was saying that it seems like they share a lot of visual similaritys. I guess I am the only one who made this connection in there heads right after playing the new Tomb Raider. Well what ever just pinging the forums to see if anyone else had the same thought, thanks for the replies and my sill post ^^

Okay I did a search first and found no post like this so here it goes. Does anyone else feel that Tomb Raider 2013 game had a lot of inspiration drawn from Hunger Games the 2012 movie? Or am I alone in drawing this connection?

Okay so everyone has seen that steel armor in game has two different helmets. One is smaller has no horns and chainmail neck, the other is what I refer to here as the "Heavy" version (there is no wait or armor rating difference) I would like some one to edit the "heavy" versions mesh, it's simple really, remove the spike at the top... completely! Now I know your thinking, "if it's easy do it yourself" Well I tried, I got as far as editing the mesh, but I can't seem to figure out (this is even after looking up tens of tutorials) how to put the poor Nif file back together and get it working ingame... same reason I stopped working on my armor model in blender. So if anyone would like to take up this simple (for those with the knowledge) task I would be most grateful. Thank you ahead of time to anyone who does. Some credit for the idea would be nice but not required.

It's not just an amulet, it takes up the 55 slot as well, problem being is when i tick these slots it won't let me wear that item as well as the armor, it just takes it off.

Please? Anyone?

Bought a new PC a nice 1000$ one (custom build) should relieve the hi-rez texture issues. So any custom script? Even ones that just make some armor crafteble? Or are there specific types that are more... spammy or something like that? (Yes i just kicked my own dead horse and expected a reply ^^)

How do I edit armor to hide other wearable items? I have a chest piece that still lets some jewelry show through, and the clipping is terrible, so I want to keep these items equipped but not shown while wearing the armor. Thank you?

I think I have already done #1, I'll try #2. It's always good to make sure, Also I forgot to reinstall that framerate fix for the ATI cards, I was using it before the ENB I installed that one time (not using it right now mind you) overwrited it so I need to put that back. Also how can I tell a if a mod will add an orphan script if uninstalled?

Just made a new character, with around 80% of my original mods, got rid of any that showed a lot of red in TES5Edit. Ran all the way through the marsh (FPS dropped to 14 in that place lots of particle effects) came out the other end (jumped to 30) and march into solitude Noooo problems at all, nice clean steady FPS. I think it's fixed for now, from now on i will have to be careful on what i get for my skyrim, and to always backup saves between any mods added, and clean and so on. Thanks for your help, I'll let you know VIA PM if anything major happens and I still need help.

I have not really had many mods in the past, Infact i tried my best to avoid mods with scripts if possible. I had Horses for followers at one point but deleted that. That is the only thing I can think of that had scripts in the bast, mostly I go through textures and meshs more then anything else. EDIT: wait I did have one other mod, it was script heavy, DSpSoB http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17746 EDIT: I have decided to make a new game, not a reinstall mind you, just a new game. So basically I have boiled it down to the mods that I really want, but of course will use better more stable mods that do the same things. I'm worried about the named soulgems mod as that seems like it would be ripe for screwing things up, but I have a habit for collecting my enemies souls for display. So lets just work from there, new game, old install, Default ini files, No saves, MO downloaded. How do i get boss to work with MO anyway?

I know I never manually changed that value, So how it got changed is beyond me. Could that be the cause of all my stability issues? and is there a way to salvage my save game from that? Also is there no way to remove a orphan script?

Okay so outdoors (depending on weather) I get 16-20 FPS and indoors 26-37 FPS on average. Also, very attached to my current save, and have sunk the better of two weeks into it. However I'm not adverse to a fresh start, I have learned a lot and could build a much more stable version, also here are my ini files. Skyrim.ini SkyrimPref.ini

Okay So should I uninstall my current book selves mod and add yours? or is it not safe to do so at this point? All the mods are showing clear of dirty edits now on BOSS. About the ini, when I returned to a default ini it crashed when trying to load a save game that was made without after I had installed an ENB, then uninstalled it, so at the time of the save there was no ENB installed. So I used my backup of my skyrim documents folder (I back up that whole folder) to replace my ini and it worked again. Let me go get the free fraps demo real quick. for the FPS.

Here is the nexus page for unlimited book shelves http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10891 Also the problem is I don't know what even 10% of what TES5Edit shows me, I don't know what a critical conflict would look like, I really have no idea at all how to use it. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to load my save cause I did something stupid and touched something I should not have, now it crashes when i try to load a save... So I'm just getting the original ESP files back into my data folder and overwriting the edited ESP files ^^ Also I know JetheadArmors.esp edits the leveled list for thalmor as it adds a new armor they use and drop when killed. And books books books adds more... books... they can spawn where ever books normally spawn and are ins vendors, so I think it also edits the leveled lists. No idea what my FPS is, don't have a counter, but I know that when i had an ENB installed it it was like 16-20 and so I'd say that normally (no ENB currently installed) I'm 20-35 EDIT: hmm reverting my INI seems to have broken my game, it was not my ESP edits at all... EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the TES5Edit when apply cleaning filter to all my mods.

You know half of that was beyond my ability to understand.... I have little to no idea what a conflicting record is, or what a compatibility patch is... all i know is there is some things highlighted red, some with bright red text and other with less red text, and there green and black and sort of light green stuff...... Is my obsession with color making my lack of technical understanding clear? We are talking a total lack of understanding on how this all works.... All I have figured out is if i click and drag stuff in that menu some times the red goes away.... So far I have not made my game explode in nuclear fire.... Oh and i reverted my ini files.

Only things I have textures for is the people and one or two armors, the people (women only) are the ones with any hi-ras, I long since gave up on the notion of hi-res textures on everything. I deleted all the unrecognized plugings but the issue persists, I don't really know how to read the TES5Edit, it all just looks like letters and numbers, some in red some in green some just white.. I'm afraid to go dink with anything because I don't know what an error or a conflict would look like. Is there a video that shows how to use this tool in more depth other then the one I already saw about ITM edits? As for my ini no I don't touch that thing without instructions from a mod author, whom I assume knows more about ini files then me. EDIT: I stared at it for an hour... I think i got the hang of it, I looked closer at what was red and noticed that somethings like of instance unlimited bookselves was making lydias bow unremovable, while my other mod made to do the exact opposite was pulling the other way.. I made the changes by each mod match and it went green.... why would unlimited bookshelves edit bows on companions..... EDIT: After some dinking around I think I fix a long standing but I was having, lydia was spawning hunting bows because unlimited shelves was conflicting with my mod to make them removable so she would actually use the bows i have her. EDIT: Still getting CTD's but at this point it could just be due to my save game still holding scripts and such from before the fixes, I'm going to try and totally new game with my mods and see if that fixes the issues, after all my current game was running these conflicts for a while before I started "cleaning" it all up. Addition: This is my SkyrimPrefs And this is my Skyrim.ini After making a completely new 100% vanilla game, I ran from the exit tunnel from helgan, all the way north, through the marsh and into solitude with no CTD. After Making a completely new Modded game, ran from the exit tunnel from helgan, all the way north, through to the other end of the mash crossed the water to the docks and promptly had a CTD. So it's apparent that I have not yet fully cleaned my mods, I wish there was a better way to relay what I am seeing in the TES5Edit.

This cleaner tool is rather confusing... I'm rather afraid i'll screw the pooch. It's flagging the official ESM files for hearthfire, Dawnguard and Update as having dirty edits... should I clean those as well? I found instructions on how to clean the official ESM's on the site TES5Edit pointed out. I cleaned all the ITM logged and updated the greenwaterfix, uninstalled everything I did not care to go through the effort of cleaning. But I've had these CTD's since I got the game (even with no mods) I'm wondering if all the ITM stuff in the official ESM's might have been to blame... BTW WOW there sloppy 600+ ITM in dawnguard alone! EDIT: Still crashing... then again I don't even have a clue how to use this tool for more then ITM stuff. EDIT: It seems to have something against the marsh south of solitude... I walk all the way from Rorikstead to the marsh without a crash but once in the marsh after I got a little way into the marsh it CTD's, Then I tried from Solitude through the marsh, yet again it crashes only after going into the marsh. I am finding that odd. I installed WATER and all it's components so it's not that, but then again like i said, I have had CTD's even when i was playing vanilla... Is my PC just not powerful enough?

I don't know what a boss log is or where to find in on my machine. Oh... I don't have BOSS, never used it before either, I just use the nexus mod manager.... guess that is a rookie mistake... Just downloaded and installed it. Logs posted As for my ini, yes only by instructions from the ENB I use and faster arrows mod to increase the distance and arrow will fly before despawning. Also BOSS told me I did not have SKSE... at all... not sure what it is for, but I installed it anyway... I'm not very good at these things.... PS: I cleaned up my ancient signature and my original post to help clean up the page a bit for you. BOSS Recognised 01 BOSS Recognised 02 BOSS Unrecognised

I am getting constant random CTD's and it's bugging the s#*! out of me. I have this image of my load order so if there is anything wrong with it you can tell me. These are the three major repeat factors in 90% of my CTD's #1 Just travaling any real distance on foot, staying in a single area seems to be fine. #2 Looting or opening containers/bodies. (usually after I have travaled a large distance on foot.) #3 Saving, quicksaving, autosaving, (usually after travaling a large distance on foot.) System Specs: RAM: 4gb CPU: Intel Core 2 duo 2.60ghz Graphics Hard: AMD Radeon HD 6570 OS: Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium. Load order: See bellow, this is the whole load order (it fit in one window)

Nice!

Can some one make Lemkil as a follower, I want to use hi for boethiah's calling ^^ Either that or tell me how to do it myself?

Se second one is what I'm looking for in function but I have no intention of installing a third party download (as was instructed in the installed instructions) Really at this point I'm willing ti settle for a good Depth of field, I just want to take a posed screenshot.

Well mostly I don't want a huge change to the colors, I can get over some small change, but mostly I want really good optical effects for the screenshots, and to be able to just install it, and uninstall it with little to no fuss, no ini editing if possible and NO third party programs.

Can someone suggest me an easy to install and uninstall ENB for me to install for screenshot purposes. performance is not and issue, but no color changes to world textures.
