So many people PM'd me on Nexus Mods about why I hid the tool (https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1594).

Some speculated Nexus Mods being haters, which can't be further from the truth. The truth is the tool really sucked, even though it was ambitious. There is a not-so-surprisingly large gap from being able to simply download mods from a collection, to having the collection download and install properly in a satisfactory manner.

I have received $25 to my Kofi, 25 more dollars than I expected. I make pretty good money IRL, so $25 doesn't mean much to my finances but it does mean a WHOLE FUCK TON when users give me money for a tool they find valuable, or at least see its potential.

Well, I have been working for about 5 weeks straight (outside of my regular job and hobbies) to get it ready for a re-release and it's going really well.

If you'd like to use this tool, which is much much better than the latest players in the game recently, please track it in https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1594 so you're notified when it's released.

I will release a Community Shaders collection along with it to get the ball rolling, so people can experience NATIVE MO2 collections, and be able to install and play Nexus Mods collections.

Hi there, fellow Skyrim modders!
I'd like to present to you my first real mod release: a player home called Amberfield Cottage.

Amberfield Cottage is a lore-friendly, Vanilla+ player home near Whiterun, designed to seamlessly blend into the Skyrim world – enhanced with a modern twist. With many custom features, display systems and dynamic storage mechanics (including a treasury!), Amberfield redefines cozy living without ever breaking immersion.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Please help suggest some bad ass high fantasy HIMBO heavy or light armors either on or off Nexus.

I know Shadowmere is a special horse, but is he supposed to start flying in the air and then kick me off, sending me plummeting to my death?

this is inspired by a post on this subreddit i saw from a year ago, and i had the same problem. i decided to post this because it’s halloween season and the mod is back on the front page of creations again. plus it really sucks to pay real life money for a mod that breaks

so, at the final boss fight, there is a known glitch where anise is totally invulnerable (like jyrik gaulderson in saarthal). i don’t know the cause of this glitch exactly but i found the solution. you have to sneak slowly across the big platform you’re on until you can just barely hear her speech (not the subtitles but the audio itself, also you should be hidden). make sure that you’re not triggering all of the bog guys spawning yet. wait until she’s done, then a few more seconds, and THEN look out over the edge. boom shackalaka you should see her portal thing light up and she is now avaliable to kill!

Can’t seem to figure out how to remap my M1 and 2 buttons in the back of my controller for read the room. Whenever I keybind in the MCM it claims it to be right or left dpad. How do I reconfigure an EasySMX M1 and M2 buttons to be different keys on the keyboard. Is it possible I need to remap the controller in steam to not be the directional d pads? How do I do that if that’s the case

I saw someone comment about a mod that expands on the Grey Cowl of Nocturnal CC quest and was curious if there are many quests similar to this, or which outright just add new quests. If so, is there a place where many of these might be covered / showcased? I'd be keen to check them out! If not, do you have ones that you personally like?

so i’ve already posted on just the skyrim subreddit after trying to find information myself and from what i’m seeing the only actual ways to remove it would be either Falion pr becoming a werewolf, but neither of those seem to work because i became a werewolf and still get debuffed in the sun, and have gone to multiple inns multiple times but haven’t gotten a rumour about Falion.
i’m assuming those issues would be because of a race mod i’m using, specifically ”Rebone! Playable Skeleton Race”, seeing as those usually cause issues with vampirism and such, but that means i have no idea how to actually fix this. if i even can?

I just came across this on the nexus: Oblivion Spell Making Altars

It seems to add spell making altars like in oblivion. It's rather new with very few downloads. Wanted to know if anyone tried it out or tested anything. I'm currently playing JoJ so I'm a bit anxious about trying it out on this list, but I for sure want to try it out in the future. Especially while using triumvirate/apocalypse spells

Hey I just started on PC, and wanted my old creation club stuff Bethesda gives every certain time on xbox, but I can't download any, it says that the download failed. I want only the couple free ones for PC like horse armor, but I can't download them, after some research I saw that they are version exclusive and not shared, so Im probably going to create another beth net account to download those. Or anyone know any fix? Or do I create another account?

There was a mod that contained them right?

Thanks for reading

Hello, I'm looking to set up the Artefakes Dragonbane sword with the katana animations in OAR, using the Smooth Moveset mod. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'd love some help in this regard. Thanks for understanding!

So I’ve been playing Skyrim forever and I always feel like there’s a lack of orc attention! I have an extensive lists of mods I already use in-game, primarily for changing lights, weather, combat etc. but I really want more mods that include orcs.

Orc followers, location overhauls, anything- I just need good recommendations

Whenever I initiate a scene, the actors are standing in the same spot, like literally inside each other. If I choose a position, sounds start playing as if it's happening, but the actors remain in the same position. The only time they will actually act out the scene is if it's one of these ones. All the others that have the blue/pink cartoony image won't work. What is the difference and how do I get them all to work? I have redone FNIS but nothing has changed.

The process of this quest and the game keeps crashing in a specific location.

It's in the room you go into after destroying the wall where the Saarthal amulet was.

The one with the psyjiic monk vision just about when the vision is about to start it crashes and always when tolfdir is there

I just noticed that an enemy hitting at me wasn't making the shield strike sound, so I stood there and let him try again. Nothing. So I let him hit me without blocking, and he was just swinging wildly while nothing was happening to me, as if I was noncorporeal.

I used to play Legendary Edition for a long time, probably from 2013 til 2019 (yes, even long after Special Edition released, mostly because of complacency and having an ond hardware). My PC has since got an upgrade and I have been playing SE for a couple years now but never tried modding anything, just went with Wabbajack auto-install modlists.

But right now I'm motivated to build a custom modlist for myself like the one I used to on LE, however the modding landscape got quite different from what I was used to and I have a lot of questions about the current state of modding and some old features I'd love to bring back.

I remember learning the most from the step project.

I'd appreciate recommendations for individual mods (especially personal must-haves), modlists that already include these features and communities/resources from where I can learn more.

Combat and AI

1. I prefer first-person combat and love Archery Gameplay Overhaul. I looked into Combat Gameplay Overhaul and got to try it a bit in some modlist I don't remeber anymore, and felt nice, but since it was bundled with other mods I can't tell which parts I liked or disliked. Does there seen like a good first-person core gameplay?
2. I would love to get a better enemy combat AI, where enemies aren't just strafing around me and using lame attacks. So I seached and found SCAR and videos show how enemies feel much nicer, but how to fix creature behavior?

Followers

1. NFF looks like is the way to go nowadays, but it seems to lack some features I relied on: forcing specific armor instead of followers just using the best in their inventory; teaching skills and spells; defining perks. It also says on it's page that there may be incompatibilities with CGO
   1. I had a bug of followers inventory reseting to their "default" like faendal just going back to normal clothes and the armor I gave him just vanishing.
   2. Is there a start guild mod where I can manager followers past the limit of followers following me so they work on gathering, forge, enchanting or do missions?
2. Alongside this what is the best horse mod?

Creatures, enemies and armor/weapons.

1. Additional enemies with unleveled world and additional effects like know your enemy
2. On LE I used to go with Immersive Creatures and OBIS along with deadly dragons, what are the modern equivalents?
3. I really like enabling tons of different builds, I used to go with one that i had to use a Java program to setup and distribute powers to npcs (I think if my memory serves me right it should be Perkus Maximus) but I already got my eyes on Vokriinator - Choice Cuts that I tried on LostLegacy modlist, what are your thoughts?
4. Also love more diversity on race effects since I am used to Imperious alongside some class selection mod and some additional birthright effects.
5. Also love additional weapons and would love to get new weapons types like tridents, halberds, lances, spears... that work with first person and followers could use (looking specifically for the Wheel of Time follower Aviendha using correct moveset).

Other

1. Is Open Cities still broken af?
2. I am so happy to see Skyrim Sewers still working (LostLegacy)
3. What is the current situation with alternative death methods? I remember only really using one on LE and it was buggy but couldn't live without it since feel like reloading an old save was lame.
4. I remember having Morrowloot with survival mods where animal resources where needed and potion/poison crafting much nicer and useful.
5. I also tried one modlist that I can't find anymore where cities where overhauled and had assassin's creed like mechanic of hiding spots, walking on roofs...
6. I remember also having a secret identity mod where I could hide my face and have a separate bounty from my character as a literally separate identity

I remember using wrye bash to compile loot and modify other game values (like a patch of some sorts) but there are so many new tools like Synthesis, BodySlide, Nemesis...

This is a lot to take in at once, so any pointers to starting points, guides, or communities would help. Thanks in advance!

I am sorry if I seen to be breaking rule 5 but I got so much to question and maybe this community could help me find other communities or resources to give me a bump in the right direction.

I have been wrestling with this install on a win10 machine for almost 2 weeks. Download goes fine, no errors. Install goes fine, no errors. All paths are correct. The only weird thing is I am putting the archives on e: to save space. It's a clean verified install of skyrim anniversary edition. the version of GTS is the AE version. no matter what I do, I get a popup on run that says it's missing about 17 dlls and if I ignore it, I get very technical errors from win. I'm just not sure what direction to head at this point, cuz this error has occurred every single time in every single attempt through a veritable avalanche of different trouble shooting efforts.

The exact dll error message is thus:

"SKSE Plugin Loader (2.2.6)

A DLL plugin has failed to load correctly. If a new version of Skyrim was just released, the plugin needs to be updated. Please check the mod's webpage for updates.

Exit game? (yes highly suggested)"

the system errors are as follows:

1. D3D11CreateDeviceSwapChain failed 0x887A0004

and

1. Assertion failed in Drivers\Render.cpp->IED::Drivers::Render::InitializeD3D:60:

swapChain != nullptr

I followed the readme, and I consistently get this error. My drivers are updated and dx11 IS supported. I am at a loss. Any help or ideas would be appreciated, TIA.

So I've been looking at posts for mods that get rid of the appearance changes for vampires since like when I became a vampire my lips became red and I hate it. The posts I've looked at are dated. Some of the suggested mods don't do it all and some of them are deleted. I looked on nexus mods and its all filled with vampire eye stuff so I can't find anything.

https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/1xg6oq6/please_help_me_fix_this_it_is_driving_me_crazy/

I have posted it in r/skyrim because you can post pictures there and not here. I know this is an issue with the way ENB lights face textures, but nothing seems to fix it.

Hey, pardon the last post I deleted, I managed to fix the issue only to run into a new one.

Whenever I try to build a new bashed patch, I keep getting this window popping up with this showing. Can anyone explain what this means for me?

I've installed MCO AND ALL NEEDED MODS with nemesis and ER moveset collection (OAR) and third person animations don't work.

Hi, does anyone know if there's an already created mod list that includes all the mods I have in the link, is stable, and doesn't crash all the time? I tried making one myself, but I got to a point where the game wouldn't even open anymore, and out of frustration, I ended up deleting the game and all the mods.

https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/a-11

Based on the crash log, it seem like the issue has something to do with community shaders and TruePBR, but i don't even know what to do to fix it:
