3DNPC/Interesting Npc's question

[apr006]

Hello,

I've been wanting to get back into Modded Skyrim and I've been out of it for some years, I was wondering if the 3DNPC mod is still safe/stable to use ?

I used to play it years ago (and the fallout version too) and I always loved what they did, but I see the posts are turned off in the Mod page and the Wiki doesn't answer the couple questions I had.

Is it safe if its not up to date ? (haven't modded in a long while)

Is it safe to add to SSE + AE load order ?

3DNPC is probably the Mod I want to re-add the most and try and finish it all, but I wanna make sure its safe to add, and I'm not seeing a lot of topics on it compared to years ago.

Thanks

Hi, apr006. I've been using it for a few play throughs and have had no issues. In fact, I didn't even know people consider it unsafe to use *Laughs*

Specifically, I use the following related plugins:

• Interesting NPCs SE 4.53
• Interesting NPCs SE 4.55 update
• High Poly NPCs - Interesting NPCs SE (3DNPC)

The latter above is to give the high poly heads to the mod.

Ok thanks, its what I installed as well.

Also, if something is conflicting but not showing up on Vortex ( Ie. Infinite load screens) can we post our load orders to this forum for advice ?

Infinite load screens aren't always caused by load order conflicts. For instance, if you have the Prison Alternative mod (with several related side mods), you can have an infinite load screen in some situations unless you register all the side mods in MCM. So the mods are all there and installed, but you need to use MCM to register them with Prison Alternative mod.

This said, these forums do have a few people who have a high batting average for spotting issues in load orders. (I'm not one of those.)

Just remember to put the load order in a spoiler tag (or text document link) and not as one gigantic post

Got it thanks for the help !

I do have a couple of side mods to bigger ones (I mostly put in extra quests/dungeons mods) so it might be that, I loaded from a few minutes earlier save and the problem was solved for some reason.

So far, other than the shadow stone giving me a CTD (I read its a common-ish thing not related to only mods) everything else is fine and I'm having a blast going through all the new player made dungeons.
