EDIT* I think I have an understanding of how this works after digging through this entire thread... Guys, For Guard Dialogue Overhaul, I'm not really that clear on these types of steps, particularly the bold part. Anyone have any more detailed pointers? Expand "Dialog Topic">"0800C497" and select the "000AC12A" node. Right-click the "Conditions" bar in Guard Dialog Overhaul.esp and select "Add". Drag the "ArgonianRace" condition from Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp to the corresponding check in Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp.("Equal to"->"Equal to / Or") Drag the "ArgonianRaceVampire" condition from Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp to the newly created condition in Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp. Right-click the "ArgonianRaceVampire" condition in Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp and select "Move Up" until it is below the "ArgonianRace" condition. Repeat this for the "000D27E5" and "000E0FA6" nodes.

I haven't actually TRIED the new one in game yet... but I know for sure that doesn't happen with the old version and SR. To all: I've updated everything EXCEPT the USKP now. Will see how far I get but I should get done before the evening is out. Updating for the new USKP slowly in increments, please be patient. Mod patches updated so far (will update as finished): Clanking Armor Guard Dialogue Overhaul (Weapons and Armor section changes only) Better Skill and Quest Book Names (simply update) More Interactive Items Skyrim Coin Replacer SkyTEST Distant Detail Hearthfire Edition Consistent Older People Pelagius Wing - Unlit Candles Ars Metallica (No changes - waiting for Arthmoor to fix - requires script merge. Not a show stopper though.) Non-Essential Killable Children Bring Out Your Dead UPDATES COMPLETED. Hey Neovalen, Just wondering exactly what this entails? Does this mean after updating the USKP, that I should delete and reinstall these mods with instructions that have been updated in the Wiki? It's hard for me to tell if any changes have occurred there. Thanks for all your work and for bringing me back to Skyrim! I should have my GTX 680 w/ 4Gb VRAM incoming soon, so I'm going to blow out these hi-rez textures. Basically for any updated mod simply open in TES5Edit and basically recheck/add changes at least for this go round. The safest thing is to reinstall said mod and re-edit but really not required this time. USKP changes are obviously the most difficult due to the mass number of changes each go round. @MorningLightMountain: In case this helps you or anyone else, here is what I have been doing to find the exact changes Neovalen has been making. Obviously he can't put everything in the changelog, so this is a good method to find the specific changes and has worked pretty well (I'm pretty anal -- or it's just OCD)! :) 1. Get Notepad++ if you don't have it (highly recommended/versatile text editor):    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ 2. After installing, open Notepad++ and go to:        - Plugin            |_ Plugin Manager                    |_ Show Plugin Manager 3. Find the "Compare" plugin and install it 4. I also recommend installing the TextFX Tools plugin while you're at it (named something like that) 5. Then in Neo's Guide page select all the text -- CTRL A works but also selects Wiki menu stuff (don't need that) -- this is what I do:         - Start by clicking/dragging a selection before the "S" in "Skyrim Revisited" title and drag down a line or so         - Let go of mouse button         - Scroll to the very bottom - DON'T CLICK ANY TEXT YET         - Then hold SHIFT and click at the very end of the last line "....versions and confirmed in game." 6. Copy the text (CTRL C) 7. Open Notepad++ and paste all the text 8. Save as a new file somewhere and KEEP IT! 9. Next time Neo makes changes, repeat steps 5-8 but be sure to save as a different file and don't overwrite the previous one 10. Then open both text files in Notepad++ at the same time 11. Run the compare (it's very fast!) by using the shortcut ALT D 12. Now you can scroll down and see each every change in the new text file compared to the old one TIPS: You can see what the highlighted colors represent and even change them to personal taste by going to >>Plugin >>Compare >>Option settingsAlso you can undo the Compare quickly by pressing CTRL ALT DHope that helps someone! :)  Thats a great idea actually. I already use it for work anyways to compare configuration files for telco gear....

Hey thanks for the quick response. Have you checked out these mods?: https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8429 Interesting NPCs by Kris Takahashi I haven't tried this one yet but it looks promising. https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3646 Duke Patricks - Archery And Heavy Weapons Combat by Duke Patrick aka SpookyFX-com This might not be for everyone, as it slows down the combat pace significantly, but it feels real and the author has much actual experience with medieval weapons combat. It seemed slightly buggy when I used it before, but I also don't have your knowledge regarding the cleaning/compatibility/patching end of it. Also, have you considered making some kind of "theory" guide on how you are evaluating these mods and finding the compatibility or dirty issues, so others can learn from this? Or what resources did you use to learn this stuff?

Yes I am. Of course, this is my first experience using MO, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it works yet.
