Wow. I'd have to try this once I get my Skyrim installation set up again.

These patches can just be installed under Dual Sheath Redux itself. In fact, I merge them in with the DSR mod folder in MO.

Hey SS - however, someone already made a thread for the mod. Please search before you post. Also, PM z92 on the Nexus if you wan the nice and shiny Mod Author badge.

It's actually more to do with SkyProc patchers not being updated to support the false-flagged system the USKP uses now. Just go into TES5Edit and sort the masters after each patch run, untill the Skyproc patchers get updated.

Honestly, at this point, it's really best to save up for a new version of Windows. XP is reaching End of Life status (meaning, no support) in April. I'd recommend getting the 64-bit version of Windows (8 or 7, whichever is cheaper at the moment).

The USKP just added a dummy animation (that did nothing) to the chest mesh. Because this mod adds a (real) animation to the chest, it also fixes the "no auto activate" bug, and so the conflict with the USKP is harmless.

...and while I am looking to upgrade my CPU/mobo at some point, I live pretty much across the country from you, and the socket is the wrong type for the processor that I would get. And plus, I'm really more looking to upgrade my pitiful storage space to something more reasonable.

In Wisconsin, however, it only snowed once yet a few weeks ago, then the snow melted away. Right now, however, we're stuggling through really, really bitter cold (seriously, some temperatures are into the negatives). We will get snow sometime next week, so there will at least be a white christmas here.

This pack may be what you want.

I knew about both TESCosi and PyFFI beforehand, z92 (in fact, I linked to both in the proto-guide).

It's been a month and I haven't seen any sign of a response from the author.

In fact, I think the only other mod with a mandatory installer (that's still being updated) is the updated unofficial Falout 3 patch. I've poked the author to make a regular archive version, but he didn't respond (instead I got some stupid reason back about exe installers being easier for most users, which I responed back by saying that it doesn't exclude a regular archive from being created). Well, the mod was supposed to be installed the earliest, but still...

Actually, BOSS would put the listed ESPs there. SkyRe_EnemyAI.esp is placed after ASIS/ReProccer so that the changes from that mod overrride ASIS's AI changes. Also, all of Qot's patches would be loaded after the Reproccer.

...and yet you are forgetting that the mod arleady has one, and that the STEP wiki lists the ideal choices for the Dawnguard interface in the first place.

I'm gonna tell you, the HDR version is easier on the eyes. It's not shown in the comparision image, but opening up the skills menu and being launched right into a VERY bright menu is very jarring. The HDR version makes the brightness much more reasonable.

...is this the 2nd or 3rd time today that a person posted a support request in a subforum meant for support answers? Thread moved.

....mg729, you are using the wrong name for the processors. The official codename for the 4xxx series of processors is Haswell, not Westmere. Westmere was the codename for the chips released... 3 years ago. Also, all of the Haswell chips come with integrated graphics, so if you are shopping for Haswell chips (as you should be), you'll always get the intergrated GPU no matter what. Hey, at least it's a backup in case the graphics card fails for some reason. In any case, PC Part Picker will exclude non-1150 slot motherboards, so it makes it a lot easier for you to pick which memory you want.

You have a weird definition of recent, mg729. There's still no "rough with less shiny" or "rough with less saturation". Also, the FOMOD installer - while it works, it's not really accurate and a far cry from the improved descriptions that I put there before. This is my improved version of the FOMOD installer. I would put it on the page, but the author (for reasons unknown) removed my editing privileges for the mod - and he's inactive.

@mg729 - as Ayien and I said, ENB works better for Nvidia users than AMD. Also, I would recommend getting the 4xxx i5 processors - as they are the latest in Intel's line. Hey, if you have the money, you would spend it on the latest and the greatest, right?

I myself build custom computer configurations - so I can help you a lot with your choices. Firstly, I highly recommend using PC Part Picker, it really streamlines building your own custom rigs. I use it myself - it's really helpful. Now, here are my recommendations: CPU: At this point, Intel is miles ahead of AMD in performance. For the suggested chip, I would not get an i7 - over the i5, you only get hyperthreading (won't matter when gaming is concerned), a cache size increase (again, won't matter), and a slight clock speed increase (overclock the processor if you are really concerned about that). That's not worth $100 USD extra. My recommendation would be to get the Core i5 4670K. This is the latest and the greatest of the Core i5 line, and it only costs $269.48 NZD - 200 less than the i7 you chose. You won't notice the difference, trust me. Cooling: Stock coolers suck. You should seriously look at a aftermarket cooling solution. Currently, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is one of the best things for cooling a CPU, but you can also invest in a water cooling solution (Corsair makes good versions of those). Oh, and whichever solution you pick, if it involves adhesing to the CPU, always make sure you have some Arctic Silver 5 handy. It's as essential as a screwdriver for PC building. (EDIT: Turns out Corsair's cooling solution does NOT require thermal paste. Good to know.) Motherboard: Really, I'd go for one that is fairly cheap and does the job quite nicely. I'd say a good motherboard would cost you from $100-$200 USD (or 122.14-244.17 NZD). My current pick at the moment would be the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H, through you should really look hard on PC Part Picker for what mobo you want. Memory: This is pretty dependent on your mobo - let PC Part Picker help you with that. Myself, I would restrict to DDR3-1600 memory only (there is no noticeable difference between that and say, 1866 or 2133 memory, unless for some reason you are stuck with using a internal GPU, which should NEVER happen), and also, ATM, just get 8GB (if you have a little extra to spare, you could get 16 GB and have further future proofing, but 8 GB is good enough for now). I have no specific recommendation here, just sort by price and see which memory you like the best. Storage: I don't know about you, but your storage selection is the major problem for me. Firstly, you are missing a SSD. At this day and age, you can't build a gaming PC without at least having some form of SSD in there. It will make Windows, your key applications, and your games load up a LOT faster. Secondly, 500 GB is... not actually a whole lot. Especially if that's your only storage. I find that this day and age, if you seriously game a lot, a 500 GB drive will get filled up fast. My recommendation is to get an SSD and a high storage hard drive (2-4 TB is a good size for them). OCN hosts a really good guide for SSD buying - here's the link. If it helps, what I'm planning on getting is a 240 GB Crucial M500 and a 3TB Seagate hard drive. GPU: As Aiyen said, Nvidia cards are much better for ENB users. Also, seriously go for EVGA over other manufacturs, for the slightly increased cost, you're getting more reliability. Myself, I use a 660 GTX 3GB - it runs Skyrim Revisited like a dream. However, really, my recommendation is to get the biggest, baddest Nvidia card you can. Case size is not a concern, and you should not concern yourself with running SLI. If you have a budget limit, spend the rest of the money on the GPU, you will NOT regret it. And please, make sure the VRAM of the card is higher than 2GB, else you'll run into issues with heavilly modded Skyrim. Case: Since you have already ordered it, I really don't think it would be wise to suggest another case. Really, all I have to say is that it looks damn cool, and it would probably fit even the biggest video cards. No idea on if it's actually good or not (never head of the specific case or manufacturer), but that's for you to find out. Power Supply: Use PC Part Picker to find one. I'd say, look around 700W-800W for your supply. If you can find one that's affordable and fits your needs, go for that. Optical Drives: You would need one to install Windows (unless you are using a USB flash drive). You could get away with getting a cheap DVD writer if you are just using it to install Windows and the few disk-based stuff you have, but you can use a Blu-Ray writer if you want to watch Blu-Ray movies on your PC, or make your own Blu-Ray disks (ya never know). OS: Gonna assume you have a copy of Windows (7 or 8) somewhere. If you do, use what you have. No need to upgrade to 8 if using a PC. If you don't have a copy of Windows, just get a copy of it somewhere. Sound Card: Unless you are doing serious audio work or your computer is set up for 5:1 sound or something, skip a sound card and just use a HDMI monitor - the internal audio can do the sound work for you quite well. Monitor: Again, I assume you have one (unless you want to upgrade). If you don't have one (or want to upgrade), I believe that (if you shop around on ebay), you can get Korean PLS monitors (really high quality ones) for around 200-300 USD. Here's a thread detailing info about them. Do you have a max budget? (in NZD I presume) If so, I can make a example PC using my recommendations (as a proof of concept). EDIT: Just fooled around on the New Zealand PC Part Picker and I found out that components are somewhat more expensive over there (shipping?). My advice still applies, though you might want to consider looking for a different mobo than the one I picked (which is more expensive in NZ than here).

Er, HQLOD and EDT2 replace the terrain textures, not just the noise. Sent from my Optimus G using Tapatalk

You have my interest. I'm thinking of (when I'm not as busy) trying this on my Skyrim installation - probally switching to Aiyen's ENB instead of Unreal Cinema. I'll also fix the load order directly in BOSS.

It just was removed, by the way. Sent from my Optimus G using Tapatalk
