Hi! I've only written here a couple of times (and always to ask stupidities, I'm afraid), and now, well... I'm kinda back to it. I can't keep away from Skyrim from long. So I'm in my upteenth playthrough and I have to play with most of the mods of this pack. I can't use all of them because my laptop is about to die, sadly (I don't think it'll survive the summer, I'm saving for a better one). The thing is: I like Skyrim to look populated, as in, with more little villages and such. I love to explore. I think I love more exploring every little corner than questing, actually, so I'm always searching for things to add to Skyrim to go all 'awww' when I find it. Things like: - the Oblivion Gates (I have it) - the Ysmir https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/20708/? I had it a couple of playthroughs ago, but now I'm not sure if it'll be a good idea as I'm using Convenient Bridges - the new Wayshrines mod Have you seen it? I'm waiting for a more stable version (or for my new laptop) to try it - Little villages and such. I've been considering Legendary Cities - TES Arena but I want to wait for the npcs to have voices. I am also considering Nyhus https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55551/? , Folkstead https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58331/? , Haafstad https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55552/? , Heartwood https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58373/? , and so on... but I'm not sure which ones are the safest/best/more immersive. As I said, I already have almost everything from the pack. In my latest playthrough I explored Granite Halls by 13Oranges (creeped me out, it was awesome), Amber Guard and Lainter Dale. - Hroldan Nightgate and Sawmills village - the problem with this one is with Cutting Room Floor, unless you use the modular files... and I'm in *checks* 233 active esps right now. So... I guess my question is, could anyone recommend me little additions, little spots to find and explore? Sorry for being a nuisance, I'm just a girl that loves to explore :) Also thank you all for such a good work and your suggestions, both you and the STEP team, it has helped me to enjoy Skyrim all my laptop allows me

Just wanted to say that a patch for lastest EFF version is available at the Interesting NPCs Nexus page. I've been using it and no problems so far. It's the patch labeled EFF patch by Noozbar tested on EFF v4 beta 13

Awww thank you for checking. Now I have to think what to do, as I use Inns and taverns. I haven't dared to use SMIM in fear of my laptop spontaneously bursting. I haven't installed ETaC either, for the same reasons :( Thank you for checking the mod, if I decide to try it I'll be back to tell if there's any other weirdness to report. I'll keep checking the mods you add! :D

Haha I thought that all by myself :D I had only Amber Hall in my list anyway, I tested Laintar Dale and Granite Hall before and Laintar Dale made my game lag quite a bit. Maybe I have too many immersion mods but exploring is my absolute favourite thing to do in Skyrim. I tend to head for a quest in X place and end in the other part of the map because I keep going and going after any grey icon that appears on my screen. Also, I'm not really tech savvy, I just read carefully every instruction I can find, and try to avoid the shinies that would make my laptop explode... These are my stats: Acer TravelMate 7740G i3-330M processor 2.13GHz 3MB L3 cache 8 GB DDR3 Memory ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Up to 2234MB HyperMemory Avoiding any big overhaul mod, like Immersive Settlements, Expanded Cities, etc etc my game runs quite smoothly. How in the range between total failure and sweet and swift is my machine, mod speaking? Also, sorry for my english, is not my first language, but I'm trying to improve

I just registered to say a heartful thank you for your guide, I've discovered many things I wanted in my game here. Also, wanted to ask if you knew the existance of/considered this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/47989/? it's still a WIP but for the comments it looks quite good. I'm planning to test it, but as I have a fairly stable game now (if a bit strained due to all my mods), wanted to ask first if anyone was using it alongside the good mods in your pack. I don't use all of them because my laptop can't run them without issues or are not my cup of tea, but the ones I use I love. Thank you for your work
