I'm having a problem and hoping someone can help. I've got the full Nexus version of the guide installed minus the HQ texture mods. My problem is that from time to time I come across a glitch where what I'm seeing in first person view is completely different from what I see in 3rd person - like I'm somewhere else. Usually not far away, but definitely not in the same spot. When this happens my first person view is typically stuck facing one direction - I can't turn left or right, and after about ten seconds like this the game crashes. If I'm quick I can save before I crash, and when I reload the glitch appears to be gone - only to come back after maybe ten or twenty minutes of play.

Probably a silly question, but is there a simple way to figure out which of my mods will need updating after SSE and SKSE have updated? Having discovered that my game had auto-updated, I decided not to roll back my game files to .73, but just take a break from Skyrim for a few days until everything updates then just play the new version (I know - life without Skyrim - the withdrawal symptoms are killing me!). I see SKSE has now updated, but I'm not sure which of my mods will need updates to work with this new version of SKSE. I do have a lot of mods not on Lexy's guide, so wondering if there is a simple way to identify which mods are dependent on a specific SKSE version.

@RavenHunter: Regarding the frequent updates, the advice usually given is once you start playing, stop modding. Unless there is something game-breaking that crops up I wouldn't worry about staying on top of all the updates on a regular basis. Personally, I do a big update maybe once every three months or so and get everything up to date, then I start a new game and don't update anymore. The Changelog page is excellent for keeping track of what has changed since you last updated. The frequent updates are actually really great as it means, no matter when you go through the guide, you get the benefit of the very latest mod updates fully integrated into the guide. But in the end, the goal is a playable, enjoyable game - as long as you have that, it's not super important to keep your game up to date. Such is my two septim's worth on the issue.

SKSE update is up.

It would be handy to have a link to the Prerequisites page at the top of the main guide. If you are worried about new users going straight to the Prerequisites page and missing the information given at the top of the main guide, perhaps that information could be at the top of the Prerequisites page instead (or as well). Just a thought, as you do have to scroll down quite a way to find the Prerequisites link.

SSEEdit is now version 3.3.2Beta. Are the special instructions still needed with this version or does the latest version fix the issue?

Thanks that worked. I had actually opened LOOT outside of MO after downloading, but didn't think to run a load order update. Once I did so outside of MO, returning to MO things were as they should be.

When I go to edit groups in LOOT I initially have only the Default group showing. The instructions say to add a few groups (Merge Patches, NPC Retextures etc), but then the diagram shows a whole lot more groups that aren't mentioned in the instructions. Am I missing something? EDIT: To clarify, by 'the diagram' I mean the image of what the setup should look like when done.

Might be worth adding an Idiot Check to SSoS reminding people the newly named meshes go in a separate folder. I know the instructions are clear if you read them carefully, hence my suggestion it be an Idiot Check not a simple Note. I for one copied and renamed the relevant meshes but failed to notice that the new ones had to go in a new folder - so I left them in the folders they started in. I'm almost certain this is why I was getting the CTDs I was reporting in the Haafingar Stormcloak Camp area a few days ago as that is also not far from Meridia's statue.

I'm finding that Ask Innkeepers to Show Room SE is not working in my game. I have the .bsa extracted and deleted, the .esp has been included in the Miscellaneous Merge, and the mod is unchecked in the left pane, but in-game innkeepers still just have just the vanilla dialogue. It was working back when I first installed it, at least some of the time, but now not at all. Anyone know why this might be happening?

A while back I posted about an issue I was having where whenever I came near the Stormcloak camp near Dragon Bridge I would CTD. I couldn't figure out which mod was causing the issue, so deactivated almost all and started a new character to test on. Over the next few days I gradually reintroduced the mods until I narrowed the problem down to the Finishing Line portion of the guide. It seems I had failed to update to the Morrowloot version of The Great Equalizer - though how a script that alters weapon and armor records could conceivably cause a consistent CTD at a specific location I cannot figure. Anyway, I have previously eliminated xLODGen from my game in favor of Trees LOD Redone as someone earlier mentioned it is less taxing on the system. Now my game runs fine so long as I don't activate TexGen or DynDOLOD. In all likelihood if I regenerated those two I'd be able to activate them just fine now that The Great Equalizer is fixed, but I've decided to just play without them until my next playthrough since DynDOLOD in particular takes so long to run. So yeah, probably not a problem anyone else will encounter as the offending (non-Morrowloot) script is no longer part of the guide, but thought I'd let y'all know what happened.

Looks great. Looking forward to getting stuck in. Small note - Know Your Enemy has the wrong version number in the changelog (correct on the actual guide page).

Tell me about it. Looks like a major update too. Better hold off on that Smashing methinks. :)

Know Your Enemy has been updated to 6.0.0

Thanks for confirming that. I guess it's not a general problem then, just one of my mods needing to be reinstalled. I just need to figure out which one could be targeting that specific area. I was doing a quest given by The Notice Board that sent me to the camp, but those are mostly radiant so shouldn't make changes in the areas they send you to I wouldn't have thought. I know LOTD has a quest that sends you there too, but that hasn't triggered in my game yet, so again not likely to be the culprit. Guess I'll start with those two anyway, and take it from there.

Anyone else having CTD around the Haafingar Stormcloak camp area? Every time I come close to it from any direction I CTD.

Pretty sure if you're not using all the NPC retextures then you'd need to keep the .esp for each one you do use. But bear in mind that the mods you choose may conflict with one another, so might have to experiment with load order a bit to get the look you want for all NPCs. The combined .esp has removed conflicts and chosen a single look for each NPC from those available.

You have to go into the Settings to find Copy General Assets. It's on one of the settings tabs.

@OCDCoder: I too dislike the term Oldrim. The name Skyrim LE (for Legendary Edition) is commonly used, and is nicer imho. The term Oldrim feels like a slur on a game that for all its flaws is still very much relevant if only because there are so very many more mods for it than SE. SE is catching up, as this guide demonstrates, but it has a long way to go yet before we should be consigning LE to the museum. *end of rant* As for being fun when you are done... remind me again what the definition of 'done' is. But in all seriousness, yes, of course this mod list is intended to be fun when it is done - whatever 'done' may look like. Even if like me you've spent thousands of hours playing Skyrim already, there should be plenty of new experiences to be had. And, btw, it will be 'fun' just staying alive in the early levels. I've been killed by a humble skeever more than once. Take my advice and get yourself at least one good follower asap if you want to survive!

When you have time an updated load order on Modwatch would be good.

I've updated everything and am up to the point of redoing DynDOLOD but each time I run it it stops after less than a minute with a Stream Read Error message. I'll paste the last few lines of output below, where things seem to go pearshaped. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ah, my bad. Seems I must have neglected to remove the checkmark beside SMIM when I installed the FOMOD. I reinstalled, making sure only the ones indicated in the guide were checked, and yeah, SMIM patch no longer there.

When I try to merge "Blowing in the Wind SSE.esp" and "Blowing in the Wind - Helgen Reborn Patch SSE.esp" as indicated on the merge page, Merge Plugins says the merge breaks dependencies and won't allow it to be built. When I include the other .esp from the mod (Blowing in the Wind - SMIM Merged All Patch SSE.esp) Merge Plugins is happy and works fine. Is there a reason why the SMIM patch should be omitted, or is that just a mistake on the merge page?

The latest changelog says that the WICO cleanup script is no longer needed. Trouble is, since it has obviously been deleted from the guide, I'm not sure where to find it or how to delete it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys. :)
