gromulos Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Hang out in the Discord / Nexus chat room, there are PLENTY of MODS USERS in there who will tell you the same thing It's one thing to make a video and follow what a program says what to do, it's a completely different situation when you actually do it and find out for yourself Edit: I just realized something, when you say "masters" what files specifically are you talking about? cleaning the DLC's are fine, but you should NEVER clean the skyrim.esm or the update.esm as for the unofficial patches, refer to the description pages for those Also I want to point out here and now, that a beginner really should NOT be cleaning vanilla master files - it's really not a beginner issue and MAY lead to some major issues Edited February 7, 2017 by gromulos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwmc Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 In fact I was doing that right now, and I heard people sharing both views. When I said masters I was referring to what other guides suggest: yes Update.esm, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn. Only these, not Skyrim.esm. All other guides are pretty consistent on this. Some will go deeper and suggest to clean Dawnguard twice automatically + once more manually with a few references removal (this one precisely). What are your thoughts on memory patches? I hear about skse.ini for DefaultHeap, but also about ENBoost and Crash Fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) the memory fix you posted earlier should be all you need honestly "~snip~overriding memory pool sizesdefault heap = 768MB (effective 512MB if not preloading animations)scrap heap = 256MB as for the Update.esm I would not clean it, but I am also double verifying my info on that Edited February 7, 2017 by gromulos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) ok there are only 2 people I trust when a situation comes up like this one where there is some question as to what should be done Jannifer from Nexus Chat on Discord, btw congrats on making moderator :DandGopher from youtube, so with that said, follow THIS video and do exactly as Gopher says I will say this, personally I don't agree with cleaning the master files, BUT, I can see the advantage to it Edited February 7, 2017 by gromulos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwmc Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I want to give your guide a fair try, because first try I already had some progress from other guides so it's hard to tell what went wrong. So, I cleaned everything for a fresh start, and reinstalled every single piece from base game to all the tooling and mods, with no backups whatsoever. I'll probably take a few hours or days to come back with some (hopefully good) news! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleimetter Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I apoligize for the stupid newbie question. I've downloaded Skyrim V thru Steam. NMM won't find it to allow me to install any mods. Should I not have used Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You HAVE to use steam otherwise you can't play, most likely what you need to do is go into NMM's settings and tell it where to find the game. Many people have this issue if they don't install steam, the game, or NMM to the default paths. for me my game is located @ C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim OR C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition Edited February 7, 2017 by gromulos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleimetter Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you very much I'll try it. All I have is an shortcut on the screen that doesn't tell me where the .exe file is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleimetter Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yea that's not working. I can't find the exe file in my computer. Just the URL and the config settings and prefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 verify your files through steam AND re-install NMM after you do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
