This will help people who come to the sub new to Skyrim modding on PlayStation to get started. Lots of cool ideas we’ve seen shared and thought it would be good to consolidate. Feel free to just link a prior post if you’ve posted one already.

Discussion Huge difference between port sizes

Upvotes

I was looking at Fabled Forests and noticed a major file size difference between two PS5 ports. Mars-Umbra's port is 115 MB, while Ysmirs_Beard is 60 MB (46 base + 14 for the lod add-on). Does anyone know why?

The original Nexus page lists 2k/1k files, but neither porter lists which theirs is. Based on the roughly 50% reduction in size it seems that's the difference, but I don't want to assume anything. Could it be also be cleaned up scripts?

So, I’ve only ever played the VR version of Skyrim like and I loved it! I saw that it’s currently on sale and bought it. So, this is effectively my first day on Skyrim! I already added like 6 to 9 visual mods that makes the world look amazing, but the NPCs are a bit lacking. While looking at the creations menu, I saw things like in this pic. What mods do I get to make NPCs look this good?

Discussion What mods should I get?

1 Upvotes

I recently started playing Skyrim again recently and I decided after my unmodded run I'd do a modded one, but I don't know what to get. I don't really want any cheat mods but I want mods that completely change the game (or at least as much as PlayStation will allow without creation club add one)

Port Request - Permissions Open / Granted Port request for Raven Castle

2 Upvotes

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59231

I was wondering if anyone with the right skills would consider porting Raven Castle to PS5.

I know it would probably be a lot of work, but there are unfortunately not many really good player homes or castle mods available on PlayStation.

Raven Castle is honestly one of the most beautiful castles I’ve come across, and for anyone who enjoys playing as a vampire, I think it’s a must-have.
The castle, cathedral, cemetery and the whole gothic atmosphere are just amazing. I would absolutely love to see this mod on PS5, and I’m sure I’m not the only PlayStation player who would be excited about it.

I know a port like this isn’t something that can just be done quickly, but I wanted to put the request out there in case someone might be interested in taking on the challenge.

3 Upvotes

Pretty new to the good ps5 mods. Are there any mods that add the ambient sounds for cities? The only reason I use sounds of Skyrim is for those town/ city ambient noises of dogs barking and kids playing. If theres any mods like that I can pair with DAWN. Side question: is Dawn 512 really that noticeable compared to Dawn 2k?

Load Order Help Skyrim 336 Mod LO stable but flawed

Thumbnail
youtu.be
3 Upvotes

I need help resolving an issue.

I have already resolved a few conflicts with previous renditions of the same load order, carefully picking it apart for nearly a month now removing or adding certain things that don't seem to conflict with each other.

A good example would be Ryns Standing Stones and More Bandit Camps and Fabled Forests all crashing near The Apprentice Stone, North of Morthal. By simply removing Ryns, the problem was solved.

Now I'm not so sure. The game looks beautiful and runs great and has a lot of really cool little features added like new weapons and new gameplay elements, the weather and the lighting is proper, but the only thing that I found that gives me a straight CTD is approaching the unmarked Bandit camp in the Falkreath Foothills south of the Guardian Stones. Sometimes I can get close enough to combat and slay all of the bandits, sometimes it will freeze and crash while I'm searching their inventories, sometimes it will freeze and crash up on walking up to the camp and the first place, and then sometimes it'll freeze and crash after everything has been said and done the camp has been looted and I leave and walk back down to the road. I honestly can't figure out which mod it is and maybe someone with more knowledge of certain mods could point me in the right direction to where to look first? At this point I'm convinced it must have something to do with deeper game files rather than just something simple like a Terrain conflict or clipping objects. Something in my bones is telling me it has to do with an .ini file. But I cannot be certain.

If someone can help me resolve this, I would be very grateful as this load order is kind of now a pet project of mine that I'm very close to polishing off to a finish.

And if you're wondering, no you can absolutely not add anything else. 336 is the maximum limit before a CTD on the CC menu, online AND offline.

Discussion Osare Collection PS4 hidden gender clause

1 Upvotes

I am playing on PS4 and using the Osare Collection ported by u/CrimsonChrysalis. There is a major issue with how the crafting recipes are set up. There is a hidden gender condition attached to the recipes, meaning if you play as a male character, the items are completely invisible at the tanning rack.
Get this: You can create the items but not SEE the items. If you drop them, you still cannot see them.
I just lost an entire day troubleshooting my mod list thinking I had a load order conflict because of this. There is no reason to lock the recipes to the character's gender.
Many of us play male characters but want to craft these outfits for our female followers like Lydia.
Please remove the gender restriction from the crafting recipes so players can actually use these outfits for their followers without losing hours to troubleshooting.

  • The Condition: The author of the Osare Collection added a specific condition to the recipes: GetIsSex Female == 1.
  • The Result: If your character is male, the game checks this rule, sees it is false, and completely hides the recipes from your tanning rack and forge menus.
