aragorn767 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hey all. So I have about 40gbs worth of mods on my skyrim which I've been playing with for the last few months. I was looking to install Maids II, but the author recommends installing on a new game and not mid playthrough (something about the mod being heavy script based or something). Has anyone had issues installing mid playthrough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aragorn767 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I should mention I do not want to start the whole game over, as I've invested a lot of time into the character I'm playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aragorn767 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Quick update: I backed up my last 10 or so saves on a separate drive prior to installation of Maids II. I then continued my game, and played for about 4 hours. Though I just continued the current quest I was completing, I've noticed nothing out of the ordinary, outside of familiar glitches or two (camera/mouse lag, which fixes itself while playing; and a sound glitch, which has happened before (which is fixed with a disable and enable of the Audio Overhaul mod). So, so far so good. Has anyone else installed this mod mid playthrough? I'm wondering what issues I should expect if any, or if the warning is just a precaution.

jjb54 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There is a chance and notice I say: " CHANCE " that your game could / might slowly start getting buggy and eventually CTD. I say this from doing / trying the same thing you did w/a different mod. You might do okay, but just be aware ... it might / could happen ....

Anselmp Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I tried Maids ll recently with a fairly new character. I have found it best to try only one of these big quest mods at a time. otherwise you significantly raise your chances of memory issues and conflicts. While they make efforts to be compatible with popular mods it gets too complicated to align them with each other.The first area and early quests are quite nice and not likely to be a problem. There is a character you may grow to like. She and the area are later destroyed. This is a mod for masochists. The second main new area is large, grey and ... well, you get the picture. Also I started hitting bugs, not crashes but irritating things like a body missing (a clothing malfunction). At that point I gave up on it, having read what was to come. So good luck with that.

aragorn767 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 CTD? Also, I have a lot of different quest mods on my game (currently playing through Project AHO.) I'll let yall know if I hit anything game breaking. Here's hoping nothing bad hits. In the link is a screenshot of my mod staging folder. So far I have 100 hours with no issues, and all of these mods with the exception of Maids II and a few smaller ones have all been installed and enabled for the entirety of the playthrough. Also, I'm fairly new to modding and PC gaming so everything I'm doing was learned about through a ton of research and trial and error. https://ibb.co/RzGpCxS There is a chance and notice I say: " CHANCE " that your game could / might slowly start getting buggy and eventually CTD.
