on Skyrim HD's Wiki page for hiding files: textures\landscape\frozenmarshice01.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshice01_n.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshgrass01.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshgrass01_n.ddsAre out of alpha order. Also, I am guessing that textures\lod\dirt02_n.ddsshould be changed to "dirt02lod_n.dds" Also, in the FOMOD instructions for SMIM, there is an error in the installer for "Solitude Gate Doors." The installer has options of "Smelters" and "none." The Wiki says to select "Solitude Gate Doors." However, selecting "Smelters" in the installer points to the Solitude Gate Doors folder, so it just looks like a typo in the installer. Probably should say something about that in the Wiki.

Awesome - that seems to be fixing it. I can't recreate the issue with the Alik'r Warriors in Whiterun. We'll see if any other issues pop up. I added: [Papyrus] fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000.0 to skyrim.ini I also added lines to the ini to enable logging to see if I can find any issues after some gameplay. I can deal with extra load times, as it loads fairly well with STEP: Extended. I would rather have time for scripts to run rather than have quick loading with gameplay issues.

Yup, I will chalk this one up to "deal with it."

I started it, ran around Winterhold, Ivarstead, and Whiterun. It seems there is no handy log that outputs, so I can only summarize: average was almost always less than 50mn. The highest "high" was never over 100ms. (the Convenient Horses readme refers to a "local" latency test that would output to a log, but I cannot figure out how to start the local one, as the only option in MCM is to start or stop the test - and that test is the gameplay test) I appreciate the help.

No, I did not. I've tried removing Stable uGridstoload, and loaded a very old save thinking that may be the issue. But, no - the guard is still missing in the conversation with the warriors. Would it be a good idea to start a new game with Stable uGridstoload not used, to try and eliminate that as a source of the issue?

Hello, I just got done the other week installing 2.2.9 Extended, and am having a strange issue that I cannot pin down. Several NPC scripted conversations are starting without the second NPC there. I've googled and browsed many forums, but can't seem to find anything other than people talking about the forced conversation bug (which is not my issue). This is occurring in two separate new saves i started (trying something new with spellsword playthrough and thief playthrough). Here are a few examples only a few hours into each of the saves: 1) The conversation outside Whiterun stables between Skulvar Sable-Hilt & Uthgerd the Unbroken that begins the quest to go speak to Cicero at his broke wagon. Skulvar talks to no one, the quest begins. If I run up towards Whiterun gate, I can catch Uthgern have the other half of the conversation on her way down to the stables. 2) The conversation inside Whiterun between Adrianne Avenicci & the Battle-Born fella (forget which one) about forging weapons (the first time you even enter Whiterun). Adrianne is talking alone, and if I run up towards the Battle-Born's house, I can catch him coming down the walkway having the other half of the conversation. 3) The beginning of In My Time in Need, where the Alik'r Warriors are given grief by the Whiterun guard. The warriors are there, but the guard is not. I cannot seem to find him before the conversation is over. NOTE: with this one, I can load my autosave from the entering of Whiterun, and the guard will be there. I don't want to continue a character if I know this will be an issue in the future, and if I have to, it would feel immersion breaking to reload saves just to make sure I am not missing any conversations in content I have not seen yet (still have not played through Dragonborn). I appreciate the help!
