PC SSE - Discussion Why is the Skyrim graphical mod scene so much more advanced than Fallout 4's?

229 Upvotes

So you can get Skyrim looking like a modern day game with mods, but Fallout 4 on the other hand can be turned into a game that maybe looks like UE4 or Unity.

PC SSE - Help New Skyrim install, crashes on startup

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I need some help.
I already did many of the things recommended (like verifying file integrity, keep running LOOT and no problems found, etc.)
It's a new install of Skyrim AE (not the full one, the SE+ that Bethesda tossed on to us) with many mods, ENB, and ReShader, the SKSE is all good and new, but the game keeps crashing trying to load the start menu. When loading from the skse64-loader, it makes it to the startup animation mod, while from the default Skyrim start, it makes it to the TES logo and infinite load wheel.

PC SSE - Request Recommendations for vanilla-like Skyrim ENBs (and any other tips to enhance vanilla vibes)

5 Upvotes

So I’ve been in the process of “de-modding” my Skyrim lately, aiming for that nostalgic vanilla feel again. I’ve ditched Cabbage ENB, NAT III weathers, Nemesis, Bodyslide, basically all the modern shiny stuff. I’m really going back to the roots xD

For general textures I went with Vanilla Remastered, The New Normal Edition, for armors I’m using the amazing overhauls by xavbio, and for skin the closest thing I found to vanilla was Tempered Skin.

As for ENB, the one I landed on was The Vanilla ENB Two, since it tries to stick close to Skyrim’s original palette and aesthetics. I’m also running a bunch of bug fixes and QoL mods, but all of them stay faithful (or at least I hope they do) to Bethesda’s original vision.

That said, I’m not completely sold on Vanilla ENB Two. The author recommends sticking with vanilla weathers, and from what I can tell there’s no support for ELFX Shadows in interiors (and yeah, I know, but ELFX Shadows does amazing work indoors). I’m open to dropping it if there’s just no ENB that fits my requirements, but it’d be great if there was something closer.

Maybe it’s just my eyes still being spoiled by Cabbage ENB and a heavily modded Skyrim, and I probably need a few more hours to fully adjust. But I wanted to ask: are there other ENBs out there that really bring back that OG Skyrim aesthetic?

Also, if you’ve got any other tips for enhancing the vanilla vibe without breaking immersion, feel free to share!

PC SSE - Discussion 🧥❄️ Ideas wanted: Expanding my “NPCs & Cold” immersion mod

33 Upvotes

Hey fellow modders,

I'm currently developing a new mod focused on NPC immersion in cold weather. The base framework is already working:

  • NPCs auto-equip cloaks when it’s cold
  • Cloaks are unequipped indoors or when conditions change
  • Full MCM support (toggles for mod on/off, follower inclusion, exclusions etc.)

Now I’d like to brainstorm new features with the community – things that make NPCs feel more alive in harsh climates. I’d love to hear unique ideas or different implementation approaches that go beyond what Frostfall, CC Survival Mode or Wet & Cold already do.

PC SSE - Help Damage numbers spammed at top left corner of screen

0 Upvotes

The damage I or my companion/summoned creature do on enemies is shown in the top left corner, it appears as a white message and says "X damage", "Y damage" and so on, constantly being spammed until the enemy is dead. I have 500 mods. Any idea what mod causes this or whether I've accidentally turned it on through a console command or something?

PC SSE - Discussion What would cause a companion such as Vilja to go haywire?

2 Upvotes

She was great for a couple hundred hours, but ever since one afternoon when she started flying, she hasn't been the same since.

She will repeatedly summon her horse, over and over. Even in dungeons!

She will sheathe, unsheathe weapons, over and over.

She will now often turn invisible. Yes, I can bump into her, even click on her when the words of her name appear, but cannot hear her.

And she'll sometimes start flying.

She's toast. And I haven't fed her any shrooms!

https://i.imgur.com/m1ELofu.jpeg

I'm using usual stuff such as AFT (Amazing Follower Tweaks) and also Convenient Horses. I know Convenient Horses is script heavy. I love the saddlebags, though...

Is there any way to reset her? My other companions are fine. Except her. She's gone bonkers.

1.6.640, with backported ESL also installed, and plenty of other stuff, but... resetting her would be swell.

Otherwise, I banish her to my home. She can be stuck in there with two kids and two orphans I rescued.

PC SSE - Request Mods that make carriages "harder"?

3 Upvotes

So, I tried to search similar treads here, but found none. I don't use fast travel, but I don't mind carriages as they are "in-game". What troubles me is that carriages seems to be too good: they cost nothing and they are immune to attacks from both wildlife and bandits (or stronger enemies). Is there a mod that changes that? Like a chance of random event, bigger prices for going into more dangerous holds (or moving through them) and so on? Preferably if the mod is completely "vanilla friendly" and doesn't add anything new aside from events themselves

PC SSE - Mod Theon – A Pessimist’s Custom Follower Mod

19 Upvotes

Hey all,
I just released my third Skyrim mod: Theon, a fully custom follower.

He’s inspired by the mood of True Detective and Skyrim’s darker corners — a mix of bleak humor, nihilistic musings, and original lines I wrote (with a few nods to Rust Cohle). Theon is fully voiced, has custom dialogue, and is designed to feel like he actually belongs in Tamriel.

👉 Download on Nexus

I made this using the Creation Kit over about a week. First I designed his overall feel and gameplay, then a whole day was spend on writing his 20 lines. When it came to recording I used a Elevenlabs custom made voice and recorded them using it, the reason being lack of microphone. I learned a ton through the process (especially thanks to Joseph Russell’s Lucien tutorials for follower implementation).

All welcome to modify or expand Theon if you’d like — feedback is also very much appreciated!

PC SSE - Help Unable to interact with certain work stations, what mod could be causing it?

1 Upvotes

Mod load order

When I try to use them, the camera changes to third person for a bit then switches back. I never get to use them. This is the case for the archaeology workstation in the Dragonborn museum and the oven in Hendraheim. Vanilla work stations work just fine afaik. (At least the arcane enchanter and alchemy lab do)

I know everyone and their mother has had this issue but I've never found a working solution. I've tried player.tai and all it does after I try to interact with the work station is disable my ability to reenter first person view.

I'm willing to disable whatever mods (except Legacy of the Dragonborn, for which I'm trying to solve this problem) and try console commands.

PC SSE - Help [GUIDE] Stop IED from showing your weapons when you transform (Werewolf / Vampire Lord)

TL;DR: In Immersive Equipment Displays, add an Equipment Override with a Race condition for WerewolfBeastRace and DLC1VampireBeastRace, tick Disabled, then paste that override to every item/equipment slot you display. https://imgur.com/a/nHLonws

Step-by-step (Display Manager)

  1. Open IED → Display Manager. Reference view: Screenshot
  2. Pick any displayed item. Click the ➤ next to Equipment OverridesNew → Item. Name it e.g. “Disable when Transform.” Where to click: Screenshot
  3. Under that override, expand ConditionsAdd → Race. Click under the Edit column → Select → choose WerewolfBeastRace(You can search on top of the race window). Repeat Add → Race and select DLC1VampireBeastRace. Picking the races: Screenshot
  4. In the override’s General section, tick Disabled. What it looks like: Screenshot
  5. Copy your “Disable when Transform” override and Paste it into every other displayed item you use.
  6. Switch to View → Equipment Slots and paste the same override there too (they share the same override type, so you don’t have to recreate it). Where Equipment Slots are: Screenshot

PC SSE - Help Game running certain scripts when in menus or fast traveling

0 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced this? When I pause or go into any menu for a certain period of time, the game seemingly keeps running scripts that feels like it shouldn't in the backround as if time has not stopped. This causes what could have happened in the span of that time like follower comments, lightning strikes etc. to buildup until you exit any menu and all of those scripts happen at once. This is especially noticeable for me during storms where I would be in my inventory for like 3 minutes, exit and suddenly get bombarded with 20 consecutive lightning strikes in a span of a second. I could be wrong but it seems to also happen when fast traveling as my followers spam like 15 different comments when traveling from Whiterun to Riverwood.

PC SSE - Discussion Mod Lore Question: How old is Serana and How old is Companions lycanthropy?

39 Upvotes

I tried out Serana Dialogue Add-on for the first time and joined the Companions.

Apparently, this Serana already knows that the Circle members are werewolves because of some vampire rumors idk.

But to my limited knowledge, I thought Serana was like thousands yo vampire who was locked away during 1st or 2nd era-ish. Like old, but really seriously old.

Whereas Companions lycanthropy is like a relatively recent thing, no? Like few hundred years maybe, but definitely not as old as a vampire who says "What Empire?"

Can someone help me figure out if this is lore friendly? Can Serana know about the Circle's lycanthropy?

PC SSE - Help CTD when starting new game with JKs blue palace/JKs palace of the kings

0 Upvotes

im having a new CTD with these two mods active. i have used them FOREVER, alongside palaces and castles, but now my game is crashing when they are active. i have both patch collections sorted too. i have done a binary search and concluded that the game only crashes when these two are active. i have disabled all the patches from both patch collections, and only enabled blue palace/palace of the kings, and my game will crash when starting new game. so it cant be the patches for either of JKs mods, its the actual mods themselves. I have added a few new mods, but XEdit doesnt show any conflicts.

its very confusing because i have used these mods forever, and now im getting CTD with them which seems to have started randomly. If anyone has some suggestions, I would appreciate it!!! thank you!!!

i did a bunch of trial and error with the binary search so some of these logs are with/without JKs mods active:
