Heya justjr, appreciate you trying to help.  I've been through the entire thing with a fine-toothed-comb, and I just can't see it. In fact, the only use of the word "script" that I can find in there is in the VMAD section. These are my screenies of the whole thing, 1 page at a time (5 pages). Thanks again for taking the time to help me out and apologies if this is really just me having a fit of the dumbs today, but I'm completely stumped.

Having trouble following the instructions to fix compatibility between Realistic Room Rental and Bring Out Your Dead, I'm just not seeing the WIDeadBodyCleanupScript referenced anywhere. This is what I see: The only mentions of scripts at all are in the VMAD section and there's no mention of the WIDeadBodyCleanupScript anywhere. I've been ill this week and am a bit spaced out on drugs at the moment as a result, so I could well just have the dumb, but I'd appreciate any help :)

In the instructions for editing Better Skill and Quest books names, the instructions say to remove the "YNAM - Sound - Pick Up" record, but there is no remove option if you right click on that specific record. Instead you actually need to right click on the overall Sound category and remove that.

True his instructions are nebulous but the only file in the "light" archive is a installer that you simply give your Sky rim directory to. (Similar to BOSS/Wrye) So I'm not 100% sure how I can make that clearer? Maybe I'll write an extra line in the setting up executables section. Maybe just a simple, ignore the author's installation instructions and once the file is in your Skyrim directory no further setup is required?Perhaps somehow (?) I managed to do something wrong, but I found I also had to add ATTK to MO's list manually, it wasn't automatically detected in any way.

I'm getting a consistent crash when going indoors during the Helgen start. Anyone have a "gut feel" for a possible responsible mod, or am I into chunk-at-a-time troubleshooting?

Neovalen, if you have time, would you care to share your thoughts on things like Climates of Tamriel, and ENB? That type of stuff is one area that's conspicuously absent from the guide so far, and I was curious what your thinking is on those so far. I'm also interested to know what your process is for checking out any new mods you use for compatibility with the rest of your list - are you just firing up the entire load order in TES5Edit and using a filter?

In the instructions for Atlas Map Markers, you tell the reader to open the "00000D74" node without telling them to expand the "0000003C" node so they can see it first. They only have "0000003C" selected at that point. EDIT: Oh! And while I remember, I know it's very minor, but throughout the guide you have written "Copy as Overwrite into...", when in fact the TES5Edit dialogue says, "Copy as override into...". EDIT2: Found another one: In the instructions for creating the AS-SkyTEST patch, you don't specify which mod's Worldspace entry you should be opening up.

These are my thoughts exactly. [snip] Stepping down from my soapbox now. That was a fantastic post, thank you.

thalastswon: that is a problem with Alternate Start - Live Another Life, you either flubbed something or you just need to update it to the latest version (Neovalen has already.) Neovalen: There is also a "patch order" problem with Alternate Start and SkyTEST. Very definite thumbs up for SkyRe from me. EDIT: Also just wanted to say thanks to Neovalen for this great guide. I used to do something like this myself but "life changes" have meant I don't have the time any more - it took me the best part of 3 days to work my way through this iteration of the guide a bit at a time! (And now I'm kicking myself for not taking note of the errors.) This guide makes it possible for me to have the sort of modded up Skyrim I want even though I don't have the time to keep up with the modding scene myself any more. So thanks an awful lot for that! :)
