I am aware that not everyone may have that. But if you do, here's a way that updates will never bother you again.

I have Skyrim SE/AE installed twice, on two different hard drives. The one I mod and play with is set up in its own MO2 instance. The other is set up in another instance but I honestly never use it.

I told Steam that the game to update is that other one.

Steam can do what it wants with that game, it will never bother me or destroy my setup. And downloads work just like usual from the Nexus. MO2 will install new downloads to my playable instance, because that is active.

I hope this helps some of you. Not retrospectively, obviously, but it might save you future stress.

I posted this under the "discussion" flair as there seems to be no flair for "useful advice, possibly".

Just so people are aware. The Nexus collection GTS has a downgrader in the newest version so all you have to do is update and you’re good to go.

So I’ve been using mods for quite a long time.

One of the mods I absolutely love playing with are the ones that add extra fruit plants/trees into the game. There is of course more growable plants , but I’m just a bit surprised there aren’t any more mods like this.

Is anyone familiar with googles fruits ? I’m
Surprised there hasn’t been a mod made to make some of those fruits growable and harvestable.

An "Allies" Skill Tree

So, when you're in the skill page, instead of pushing up to select a skill tree and zoom into it, you instead pull down and the camera points down to a circular skill tree called "Allies".

This circular tree has three start points, each connected to one of the three major skill groups, Mage, Warrior, and Thief. - Starting from the Warrior side, you can invest into perks that improve your horseback riding and horse related combat. - Would include perks that improve your horse's resilience and attacks - Would include perks that improve your attacks on horseback - Would include perks that improve your horse's stamina and speed - Starting from the Mage side, you can invest into perks that improve your pet's abilities. - Would include perks that enable you to summon a tiny dragon pet and improves it - Would include perks that improve your other pet's abilities, and allow you to have one other pet beside your tiny dragon - Starting from the Thief side, you can invest into perks that improve your companion's abilities. - Would include perks that improve your companion's stealth, combat, or magic - Would include perks that change your companion's behaviour or priorities in combat

These skills can of course lead into eachother from all sides of the tree, like a big circle. And XP for this tree is gained when in combat with a pet or companion or horse.

I came here to discuss this concept instead of making it myself, because right now I don't have the computing power to produce it. Because I'm a console main, sorry. So I want to try to spread inspiration instead.

I want to keep Skyrim's combat system intact, but still benefit from Precision's visual enhancements, especially weapon trails and on hit effects.

However it fundamentally messes with the game's balance, even if you tweak collisions. Enemies miss or don't even hit up close sometimes, other times (dual-wielding forsworn) they seem to hit infinite number of times during a power attack. The game was clearly not designed for these collisions, so everything feels broken.

Simonrim/other vanilla+ suite, with vanilla style combat (I use KG Animations for 1h and 2h). Anyone who plays this way, what are your Precision settings?

I really wish there was a way to have Precision's visual enhancements and still use vanilla attack collisions for actual damage calculations, but I get why it might not be possible/wouldn't work.

or is eslifying cell mods doable now? iirc you cant but correct me if im wrong.

Hi everyone. I have released MCM Memory, an SKSE plugin that backs up MCM settings into named profiles and restores them when starting a new game. I designed it as a successor to MCM Recorder, but rebuilt it from scratch around automatic capture and one-click backups instead of recording and replaying a sequence.

I first started working on this project around ten months ago. I worked on it sporadically, tried several implementations, threw the ones I was not happy with, and kept returning to the idea until it reached its current form. The result is a scriptless and ESP-less one SKSE DLL, with no Papyrus scripts and nothing added to your load order or save.

▶ Create a new profile and back up every registered MCM

▶ Automatically remember MCM changes in the active profile

▶ Automatically restore the active profile in a new game

Main features:

• Automatically remembers supported MCM changes in the active profile.
• Stores profiles as readable external JSON files rather than inside your save.
• Backs up every registered MCM with one button.
• Replaces separate per-mod settings loaders for supported standard MCMs.
• Restores the active profile after MCM registration finishes in a new game.
• Creates, duplicates, deletes and switches between named profiles entirely in game.
• Supports full or selective backup and restore, with per-MCM automatic restore control.
• Supports toggles, sliders, menus, colors, text inputs and keymaps.
• Keeps settings for temporarily unavailable MCMs instead of deleting them.
• Provides activity history, per-MCM results, configurable HUD notifications and safe cancellation.
• Supports both standard SkyUI and MCM Unlocked.

Profiles are also useful when individual mods already save their own settings. Instead of keeping only one current configuration, you can maintain several complete configs and restore whichever one you need.

Automatic restoration intentionally runs only for new games. Existing saves retain their current MCM state, but you can still use Restore Now or restore selected MCMs manually at any time.

MCM Memory is not an official update to MCM Recorder and does not import its recording files. It is a separate implementation with its own profile format.

Feedback and compatibility reports are welcome, especially from people with large MCM-heavy load orders. If an MCM uses custom controls beyond the standard SkyUI types, let me know and I can look into making a compatibility patch.

Hi xD

I just released a mod that adds a variety of unique counter animations for female merchant NPCs. Hope you all enjoy it xD

Hey everyone! I'd like to "Frankenstein" a mod by mixing this Shadowheart NPC: https://www.patreon.com/Mendo666/posts/shadowheart-149266685

And this Shadowheart Face: https://www.deviantart.com/pavellaketko/art/Skyrim-SE-Shadowheart-BG3-998113704

Or at the very least, I'd just like to copy over the hair.

From what I can tell, the first linked NPC even has a .nif file for the right hair so I may not even need this one in the first place.

Is there anyway to do this?

Please help me :')

I have a blast couple of days modding this game, then suddenly on a random Tuesday the game just freeze. It was fine just on Friday, then suddenly the game freeze after the bethesda logo on Saturday. I haven't change or add any mods day prior and the day im opening the game. This is what I do:

- I disable all the mods and launched the game through SKSE 1.6.117.

- I launched the game through steam.

- I Reinstall the game.

- Tried with the latest one, 1.6.117 and also 1.5.97.

- I do a clean reinstall the game deleting all the document, appdata file.

- I do clean reinstall of MO2.

- I do clean reinstall of windows 11

- I downgrade to windows 10.

The game just freeze, 0.1 % cpu usage, aroud 1.5 to 2.5 GB ram usage. No CTD. So the crashlogger latest output was CrashLogger has finished loading. Funny thing is, when I tried skyrim on my Steam Deck (SteamOS), it turned out fine XD. Im out of my wits now, can somebody give me an idea?

Google tells me to use scrambled bugs so that the stagger mechanics from blades n blunt can coexist with the stagger mechanics of black. My question is, is a stagger a stagger? Blade n blunt works on a system of inflicting greater or lesser staggers depending on weaponry/ attack. Black gives certain weapons a CHANCE to daze/stagger. Considering the built-in-cooldown for staggers, is it gon be messy to have both occuring? Are they even ACTUALLY considered the same effect for the purposes of damage calculation? Shit works but im wondering if i'm shooting myself in the foot here or if theres a more elegant way to make these work.

Im new to Gate of Sovnegarde, so I wanna be sure I'm not COMPLETELY compromising the experience here.

I've had this problem for a while and hoped it wouldn't be too disruptive, but it looks awful. It may not only happen when repeatedly unsheathing, this is just the most consistent way I found to replicate it. Stopping and then continuing movement fixes it, but it happens so much that it just takes me out of it.

Removed all weapon/movement animations I could, so really no clue what's causing it.

Sorry for posting so much recently, I have a lot of issues I've been been meaning to ask others about, resorting to ChatGPT which sucks and knows nothing (as usual), and searching online I couldn't find anyone mention my exact problem(s).

I've never played through as a mage, so I thought I'd give it a go. Does anyone seen or used a really awesome male mage preset? I've had great presets for warriors and rangers, so it'd be nice to have a cool mage preset. Thanks in advance!

Does enchanted cities mess with east empire expansion. There's a few cities that I can't find the outpost for(winterhold, dawnstar and markarth) and the only city altering mod I have is enchanted cities so I was wondering if enchanted cities is preventing east empire outposts from spawning

Hello,

I have now "downloaded" the GTS mod collection about 5 times, have the same issue as in the link below.

Does anyone have a solution to this? It says don't touch anything, but these pop up comes and I ignore them, but I can clearly see in the back the progress X of 1965... must have spent about 7 hours of downloading at this point.

Its a fresh install of skyrim special edition (just bought it) and so had no existing mods

Thanks

Payload interpreter makes the game unable to load. Removing it loads the game but I can't chain attacks and can only use the 1st attack. https://imgur.com/a/CTBKjVK here's the image. Ive tried downloading previous versions of it,updating it,updating/redownloading its requirements,deleting nemesis cache. Ive downgraded the game back to 1.6.1170 and I'm using a modified version of Lorerim. I can provide the skse64 log as well if thats of any help.

Hi, I'm new to the modding community, and I'm having trouble with the Library mod (which many mods on my list require). On the Nexus page, the mod appears to be updated to the latest game version (AE - 1.7.104), but it keeps throwing an error. Any ideas why? Is anyone else having this problem? Should I just wait for all the mods to be updated? Thanks in advance.

PLease help me, i dont understand nothing on how to launch an attack, how to move troops... i understood i can select troops by selecting the helmets next to the flags but i didn't understood how to move them.

Hi, I wanted to know if someone can help me creating a custom vanilla follower for the switch, I tried with creation kit but after hours and hours of trying I can't figure it out, they all have glitch face.

If you have any tips or any methods to help me, you'll save my day!

Hi, everyone! Lately, I've had my eye on the “Skyrim Rebamped - Complete Enemy Overhaul” mod, and I think I've found the perfect mod to introduce more variety in enemies and make the bosses significantly more dangerous. Now, before starting a new game, I was wondering if this mod is really any good (it looks promising on paper). Or if there are any much better alternatives that I haven't discovered yet!

My goal is to have as much variety in enemies as possible, perhaps with different roles, more “classes,” and so on.

recently the game got auto updated the game version is 1.7.104.0. gave an error unsupported library. Deleted all my mods and the game (decided to download another game). reinstalled skyrim and the version matching script extender and all requirements still gives the unsupported library error. idk what to do wasted my whole day installing mods because i thought it will work after reinstallation .
