Need help with Sounds of skyrim and realistic lighting overhaul

[Katohh]

Hi Thanks for replying/helping in advance.

I'm having some trouble though getting realistic lighting overhaul http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30450/? to work alongside Sounds of skyrim http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8601/?
BOSS tells me SoS - The Dungeons-PatchRLODungeons.esp is missing Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Dungeons.esp
and SoS - The Dungeons-PatchRLODungeonLighting.esp is missing Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Dungeon Lighting.esp

But I looked everywhere and really the mod realistic lighting overhaul does NOT have those esp's.
in the BOSS thing below here you can see the esp's realistic lighting has. and also the report.

I hope someone can help me, because I have been stretching my brain on this for some time.

sos - the dungeons.esp Active

Its always amazing in what problems people run.

So you dont find the compatibility patches packaged with RLO, simple logic would be to look at the other place where those patches could be .... at sounds of skyrim.

Takes 30 sec to find it:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20193/?tab=2&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D20193&pUp=1

No clue of its working though. Have fun. SoS are amazing.

Hey thanks for responding, Yes I actually DID find those patches, I also read the readme thoroughly. I copy'd the right files. If you don't have those patches installed BOSS gives even more errors and even refers to those patches (Such an amazing tool)

The only thing I didn't find in those patches are those 2 missing esp's I also didn't find them in the realistic lighting overhaul files.

If you look at that spoiler tag I made you can see all the realistic lighting overhaul esp's

Realistic Lighting.esp
Realistic Lighting Addon.esp
Realistic Lighting Patcher.esp
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Dawnguard Interiors.esp Active
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Major City Exteriors.esp Active
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Major City Interiors.esp Active
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Minor Cities and Town Interiors.esp Active
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Weathers.esp Active
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Brighter Dungeons.esp Active

 

The ones SOS claims are missing simply don't exist. So that's why I'm confused.

I think I know understand your problem. Its IMO a fault at the RLO installation.

There should be an option during RLO install similar to "do you want to install the RLO dungeon module y/n?" and you selected no. That prevented the copy of Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Dungeons.esp to your data folder.

But later there was another option asking you if you want to install brighter dungeons and you went yes. This copied Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Brighter Dungeons.esp to your data folder.

Normally you shouldnt be able to load up skyrim at all now (crash at main menu) as the brighter dungeon module _should_ need the dungeon.esp as master.

 

Boss now complains that the dungeon.esp is missing for the sos-rlo-dungeon compatibility patches probably because boss notices the brighter dungeon module (it doesnt make sense to make vanilla dungeons even more brighter).

 

The solution of this all would be reinstalling RLO and make sure that no dungeon options are selected there.

 

The inferior solution would be installing the RLO dungeon module (+ brighter dungeons) but now you will run into the problem that SoS needs patches (and as Im not able to download the sos compa patch file I cant say if such a patch already exists - damn nexus).

 

If you really want bettter dungeon lightning (RLO only provides imagebased light changes inside dungeons thats "dungeon lighting light") you could switch to ELFX which provides atm the best dungeon lighting in Skyrim.

IMO the best lighting (non-enb based) atm is CoT for weathers, elfx for interiors/dungeons. There are compa patches for SoS for both.

If you use an enb you have even more options (enb weather, ele and more).

 

Edit:

I just managed to download the RLO manual install package and looking into the archive there are the dungeon.esp (core) and the brighter dungeon.esp (optional). So its definitly a problem at RLO installation.

 

Edit 2:

Got the sos - rlo dungeon compa patch too and there are also 2 esps for the RLO dungeons.

 

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks! That was actually very helpful. I tried reinstalling first without any of those dungeon options, but then the problem remained, the second time I selected dungeon lighting. instead of the brighter dungeons and that actually resolved the dungeon.esp thing.

However dungeon lighting.esp is still missing though

There is no dungeon lighting.esp in the RLO archive (manual).

Start skyrim and if you load into the game with your current setup its just a superfluous boss message (of a probably older RLO version). Just ignore it.

Okay! Well thanks for everything, I guess this has solved the last of my CTD problems :)

[fiewiel]

Its skyrim, youll never solve all ctd problems.

Have fun.
