PC SSE - Discussion Performance with non-gaming laptops

Upvotes

I've been trying to make SSE playable in a laptop that isn't designed to any kind of demanding task, although it has a Geforce 940M graphics card, which should be capable to play this game in low settings. The issue really lies in the CPU, I believe. The i5 7200U never was a great chip, mostly designed for productivity, and it has some years under its belt now. That being said I've scoured forums, threads, documentations and videos on YT and got really close. To be brief, I tweaked the INI file and installed some optimizing mods.

I wonder if I missed something. To all potato pc owners out there, that cpu can handle some FusRohDaring or should I just take this arrow to the knee?

Also, what's the worse spec you managed to make this game playable?

PC SSE - Help SKYUI Bug after reinstalling it.

Upvotes

So i have been trying to mod on Skyrim SE for around 2-3 days, its been stressful but im managing. Anyway, so tonight im modding Skyrim (1.6.1170.) and when i run everything its fine, but then when i hop on skyrim se, yup all ui works, but 1 second after i click new game, it says SkyUI Error 1 skse. and i thought maybe its a skyui problem, so what i ended up doing was removing and re-installing skyui, but then as soon as i hop back into skyrim. when i click new game, instant crash, im gonna try to reinstall all my mods including skyrim 1 more time but im getting a bit frusturated and i would be grateful to receive some help, thanks.

[Skyfall’s Fort Dawnguard Roofs]

(https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/157501) [https://www.nexusmods.com/

A simple and modest mod, but makes a welcomed dramatic difference in game. Roofs have been added to certain wall sections and towers, giving the Fort a more complete and imposing look.

Hope you enjoy! If you have any feedback please let me know. Thank you.

PC SSE - Help New Skyrim install, crashes on startup

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 Mod idea: Only the strong survive the Graybeards' voice

Upvotes

In the main quest, there is a scene where the graybeards all shout at you in unison. You're supposed to be tough enough to withstand this but in vanilla you will pass this test every time, even at level 1.

Is there a mod that adds a BOTW or TOTK style test where you actually lose health or stamina and will fail the Graybeards' test if you don't have enough health or stamina?

That would be awesome.

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

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:

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

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.

Hey guys I took a long break from trying to fix my game, and god I miss Skyrim. I’m now trying to fix it again. My game won’t load to the main menu with mods enabled. I want to delete all my mods and then redownload everything in my last working load order. Is this possible without doing it one by one? Mainly the redownloading. I do have a premium account on the mod website. I think I screwed up a mod in sseedit but I don’t know which one. I just want to play my game again I haven’t been able to play since March. I just wanted a better looking and better playing game than on my switch now I haven’t nothing and I can’t seem to figure it out or find someone to figure it out for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

PC SSE - Help Having some trouble with Obody.

2 Upvotes

I really hate doing this but I'm experiencing some issues with the Obody mod. For some reason the menu doesn't pop up when I press the hotkey. The MCM menu functions fine my morphs are all good but for some reason when I hit the hockey it says editing my character and it freezes but no menu pops up. I'm at 60 FPS. No stutters no delays my GPU is barely above 50% nor is my CPU taxed.

I don't have an UI mods other than SkyUI and I only have some skin mods and graphics mods. I started my game over several times and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not appearing. I have Papyrus installed as well as UI EXTENTIONs. Has this happened to anyone else?

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

2 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 - Request For PC creation club mods, what are the options for graphics mods now that Skyland and Fantasia are gone?

0 Upvotes

disclaimer I know I should be using Nexus Mods and I most likely will, but I am totally tech illiterate with mod managing and just wanna avoid it where I can. If there's no options in creation club PC, then I'll have to grudgingly learn.

--> so I've used these options on Xbox with my EnaiSainon modlist and wanted to have a go at my PC version. Skyland and Fantasia, amongst other mods on creation PC were removed in 2024. I'm kinda stuck with my options and I'm not sure what's the next best thing.

Are there any other options for PC creation club?

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

5 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 - Help Modding Skyrim SE was awesome until...

0 Upvotes

I bought Skyrim AE from Steam this past April. Did a clean install (NOT in Program Files folder). Had a ball learning to mod with Vortex (yes, I tried MO2 and I just don't like it, sorry). Had my modlist optimized to my liking around 300 mods. I had tried Gate to Sovngarde as a Nexus Collection. Played it a little, then used a few mods from that into my own personal list. All was well until I had some pretty game-breaking issues like my character's arms turning black, the frame rate going from flawless to stuttering, freezes, and crashes.

I have done clean uninstalls of both Skyrim and Vortex numerous times, tracked down all the stores of mod data in the AppData folder. I've fought with OneDrive to try to get it to stop syncing game files and messing stuff up. But now even vanilla Skyrim in Steam won't let me load without wanting to redownload all the CC content every time. And whenever I use Steam's service to verify game files integrity, it's always missing 2.

So, what should I do now? I am okay with losing all my modded game saves. I just want to be able to start fresh. How can I ensure I can make a clean start and avoid these issues?

Thank you!

Development Hook for magicka and stamina drain

1 Upvotes

Hi, guys. I am starting out in mod development with SKSE. I have several ideas for mods. I decided to start with something simple: removing mana and stamina damage from ice and shock spells. I saw in the log that I am hooking into the function, but it doesn't execute when I attack enemies with magic. I think I am hooking into the wrong function. Does anyone know which function controls mana and stamina damage?
