Yeah I'd have to agree with a lot of the points made here. My only gripe is that I just recently finished the Step:Extended guide and was tinkering with different ENBs when I stumbled across the SR:LE guide. Now, here I am, back at it.... I had a stable game, running the Extended mod list, and I even started on my legitimate playthrough when I caught wind of this Legendary guide. Now, I have to feed my addiction all over again! :confused: I must have the **Perfect** game files to play! I'm sure I'm not the only one. So, I'm wondering, where was the clue hiding, of a SR:LE guide, while I was working through my step guide?? I even glanced at the Pack list at the end of the step guide to see if anything intrigued me that I'd have to make room for. No news of SR:LE there!

Yeah, for sure, all I've been doing since I replied is drooling over the 970's on newegg. I've always been fond of the GTX x70 cards; generally a huge upgrade from the x60 with only a mediocre increase in cost. Plus, I found out the EVGA FTW+ was just released so I'm all over that! (though I AM tempted to get that fanciful golden SEdition from MSI ) Probably a 2-fold increase over my current GPU clock speed if I can OC this new card as much as the reviews state! My 570 wouldn't oc the tiniest bit so we'll see. and yeah... I got the Asus GTX570 dc2. It's nearly a foot long and a whole 3 slots deep! this new 970 will be puny in comparison. on a side note, I can't wait to see what happens with the new NVlink tech in 2016 with the Pascal chips. mind-blowing, but probably won't be consumer-friendly tech for another 2 years. Thanks all! officially marked as solved!

Thanks for the tips! I built this rig the year skyrim was released, so I was quite disconcerted to hear it wasn't enough for an ENB, but that just shows how much I know. Since I never see benchmarks or a baseline GPU for any ENB presets I wasn't aware. I did manage to find that 'common CTD and memory issues' page before I logged off for the night but I wasn't able to peruse it to use it by then. So, I'll definitely check it out now. I thought the enblocal.ini memory settings just created headroom, aside from the reserved mem size, which I was still messing with to see its effect on fps. How could too much headroom be detrimental? As for an upgrade: I did actually have my eye on the competition since I came back to the PC-gaming scene and I've certainly noticed the rep the GTX 960 was earning. Since you guys already know my situation, if anyone has a second to comment, could you let me know what it is exactly that my GPU is lacking? I'm fairly learned in the ways of CPU and RAM etc. but GPUs always seemed to stay out of my reach. I can't imagine it's simply the card's memory that's holding me back, so what is it? Thanks again, I'm really glad I know the problem so I can stop tinkering with settings and just play for once!

Just to try add information to this weird error. I had the same yellow screen at the main menu; sometimes accompanied by a CTD, sometimes I had to alt-F4. I had launched MO through Skyrim Performance Monitor with the d3d9 ENB hack in SPM settings applied and had fraps fps counter on screen as well. Clearly, this seems to be an overlay conflict.

I am coming back to Skyrim since I found the (thousand) STEP program (worth it!) I finished STEP: Extended using MO, capitalizing on all Hi-Q versions except for the unnecessarily insane 8k res trees etc. (minus a few mods I much prefer to exclude) [spoiler=Skipped STEPs]2.D Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice SKSE-Elys-AltF4 2.E KenMOD Time On Loading Screen Lockpicking Interface Main Font Replacement Skill Interface (taken down) 2.F Bethesda HI-Res DLC Optimized 2.H Bellyache's Creature Pack Female Vampires Have Fangs More Realistic Hair 2.J Burn Freeze Shock Effects 2.K The 418th Step Silly Level of Detail - Potions and Poisons Silly Level of Detail - Wine Cellar Super Realistic Ore 2.L Better Weapon Swing Sounds Improved Combat Sounds Thundering Shouts Ultra Realistic Bow Shoot Sounds Ultra Realistic Crossbow Shoot Sounds 2.M Come together N Out of the way I am able to run this setup in the densest of exteriors with at least 45 fps but when I flip the shift+f12 (enb) switch my frames plummet to a range of 5-20. Now, of course I was expecting a good drop with all the rendering active but I never imagined I'd be under 25fps. Throughout all of this, Windows Resource Monitor (I'm still figuring out Skyrim Performance Monitor) has told me my CPU(%) and RAM usage has never gone over half. So where's my bottleneck?! I'm guessing it's my GPU core since I don't think WRM even bothers with those stats. Stats, Specs, and Troubleshoots: My attempt at a clean run with only the necesities applied in MO (skse & Unofficial Patches) and ENB made almost no difference. My fps goes from the expected 60 (w/ vSync) down to 10-25 upon activating ENB within the intro cart ride as well after character creation. The skyrim launcher reset my FXAA settings once and that obviously disabled a lot of ENB effects. During that gameplay my fps was almost unhindered but this was before I tried troubleshooting.

I'm working each day this week and when I get home I'm troubleshooting / looking for new info on the subject online. I must have just overlooked something in one of the .ini files because, well, what else could it even be?! An outside perspective might just save me. Any help or advice will be infinitely appreciated! Edit: I was actually encountering a CTD, that I wasn't before, during the intro as soon as Alduin shouts to release the character. Now I can't even make it that far and these are some weird CTDs. I haven't changed anything except attempting to use Skyrim Performance Monitor with d3d9 ENB hack to display monitors in-game. Never seen these before: CTD before the main menu, after the screen flashed bright yellow No CTD but my entire screen was bright yellow during the main menu. The only thing I could see was the ENB activation text in the corner and hear the background Skyrim music. Alt+F4'd (It appears this happened to someone else running an overlay program (overwolf) at startup.) The last attempt with no changes lead to a successful launch with SPM monitors on screen and running (I noticed GPU @ 99% and fps @ 40) until the CTD about 30 seconds into the cart ride. All this happened with the minimal, necessary, setup in MO Now I'm going to work in 8 hours, goodnight Skyrim nightmare!

Did this just get forgotten about? I have been somewhat blindly following the STEP:extended installation due to the sheer immense amount of mods incorporated yet I luckily noticed the incompatibility of these two mods. It might be worth just adding a note to the STEP guide that you can't simply install them both anymore. #usefulnecro?

I have used TESVEdit to clean all the BOSS reports in my mods but that's the extent of my knowledge with TESVEdit. Is there something else I can do with it, here? The idea of a patch/port is already over my head. \/_\/

Problem: Attempting to purchase the Enchanting Laboratory Decoration for the Honeyside player home in Riften results in no change - Anuriel (the steward) says she'll add it to my home, as normal, then none of the gold is removed from my inventory, honeyside remains enchantless, and the dialogue option stays there for repeated disappointment. (the child's room upgrade follows suit, but idgaf about no kids. I want flaming swords dammit!!) I have all the addons (yes, Hearthfire) and unofficial patches (yes, Hearthfire) to go with them, 70 other mods (mostly resolution upgrades etc.) and it's all in a nice BOSS load order package within Mod Organizer. I'll explain my troubleshooting but I've basically given up at this point because I'm so flabbergasted. I'd appreciate a fix, a workaround, or even simply insight as to why this is happening. Honeyside is the first house I tried owning in this playthrough with this set of mods so I'm not sure which other aspects are broken yet (I'd assume the decoration that gets replaced by the child's room in each house). I successfully owned and applied the ench lab in a previous playthrough w/o hearthfire or most of these mods. I started with google and found out Hearthfire broke this aspect but the Unofficial patch fixed it - Doesn't seem to apply to me since I have both and double-checked their integrity. I found out some people were using some prid console command for the alch table in breezehome but I couldn't find one for this specifically. It's way over my technical knowledge to go about finding it on my own. I narrowed the problem mods down to these few via process of elimination - enable/disable .esp in MO, load a save, buy house, attempt enchant lab: HearthFires.esm (the official addon) + Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp Dual Sheath Redux.esp + Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp (animation changes for dual wielding and a patch for certain weapons. NO IDEA why this affects it!!) UFO - Heartfire AddOn.esp (Ultimate Follower Overhaul, changes the way followers interact with everything. Only the Hearthfire patch, I can use the other UFO parts w/o problem) disable all of them simultaneously and I can purchase the lab - enable any one of them, separate or together, and I cannot. I have to hand it to T3ndo for the integrity of SkyRe though; such a massive overhaul of the entire game and it's not causing any of the problems I'm experiencing!

Wonderful, Thanks! Tannin or anyone else we have to thank for this splendid MO might want to think about adding a filter in the data tab for all .mohidden files to look at only what you've hidden. I'm content with using the method of doing a file search in my MO mod folder in explorer for ".mohidden" though, just an idea to be tossed about. Not sure if there's a suggestions thread or what have you. I want to un-hide multiple files and it's easiest to just find them in explorer with a file search. What would manually removing the ".mohidden" suffix extension do? I'm just guessing it won't be that easy. =|

What exactly does this right-click feature do? I originally started using it in the conflicts tab as a "ty for notifying me about this conflict, it's intended, stop notifying me now" feature. As in, I assumed it wouldn't change the files just not show them as conflicts anymore. I was doing all of this while listening to the MO tutorial vids in the background and well... a minute or two later I heard Deathneko say something like 'I think the hide feature makes the files invisible to MO'. Needless to say, I facedesked instantaneously. I did some perusal and found some of the files I previously hid renamed to .mohidden, which can apparently be unhidden just as easily. So if I understand the feature correctly, hiding a file renames it as .mohidden, which breaks that file until unhidden? And then there's no problem right? :New user of MO, loving every bit of it <3
