Okay, so SKSE uses the first 256MB, so 768 means that you have 512MB available. If you get ILS with 768, then bump it up another 256MB to 1024. You may need to bump up the second one 256MB as well, but usually not. That heap is usually pretty stable. DynDOLOD usually requires more than the recommended settings if you used it on High settings.

I usually have both profiles. I can't make the patches with only the Extended profile. If it's not forwarded then that's probably on purpose. Like there are some things from Relighting Skyrim I don't completely forward because it interferes with CRF. I always have N++ open and copy paste the formID's I mess with.

Tech, if you are doing testing for new stuff then you can grab the Core patches from the Copy Share in the STEP Patches\2.2.9.2 v2 folder. EDIT: NVM, messed something up.

Yeah, that's it. Memory block log will show you weather that setting is being applied.

That was phazer's job. He may be busy though. May need a new minion.

Memory block log is a SKSE plugin by sheson to see if the memory patch is working. Get the mod from the nexus and then it will put a log in the Memory block log mod folder after you boot the game.

New ADAM version is up. I don't know if the instructions need to be changed for the new patch that was added.

You should have every plugin ticked on the plugin list for TES5Edit. xEdit can only load .bsa's from plugins that exist. MO can load them into the game without the plugin, but no xEdit.

I'll be updating the STEP patches today or tomorrow. The current STEP patches are fine to use until then.

Simple fix is to make the non-ELE patches have the same name as the other ones. This will make LOOT sort them properly. Would have to change up the package structure a little for that.

With a lot of authors having returned to modding for Fallout 4, I'd bet we could get permission from many of them for their older mods now. I'd like to get some of the smaller textures and meshes into the compilation.

With AICIO updating today, I'll have the STEP Patches updated tonight. Your game won't explode until then.

Shouldn't be. It includes everything you need.

Yeah, just delete them. The compilation now includes them.

Is it weird that I love this time of year, but hate Christmas? I like all the decoration and festivity, but hate the hyper-consumerism stuff. I guess I'm just getting older. I hope you guys all have fun doing w/e it is your doing with family and friends this year! I know I will.

Prodigy is touring? Totally thought they were done. Guess they keep getting back together for the third time now. Hope they make it across the pond. When I was 16 and away at school, I snuck out of the dorm with my buddies to go see them. Awesome show, also the first time I ever rolled.

This is what is known as hypothetical, not theoretical. It's a guess, but without any real world observation. A typical way of making things look really expensive or bad without actually having to observe it's cost in the real world. American conservatives employ this with taxation rates, saying that we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Hypothetically. Effective tax rates, or those they actually pay, are much lower, some of the lowest in the world. The facts of NHS and lesbian birthrates are much different in reality. Lesbians under 35 have about a 10% higher success rate of getting pregnant, mostly attributed to heterosexual women seeking fertility treatment doing so for subfertility issues. Not that women who are lesbians don't have subfertility issues, but fertile heterosexuals seek treatment at a much lower rate. Also, the NHS sets guidelines for the maximum amount of care they will pay for, but does not set what care they will actually provide to citizens. The CCGs do that and they get to decide how many cycles to pay for which varies greatly from place to place in Her Majesty's Kingdom. Many, many places in the UK do not give out the maximum amount of care to citizens. Also, when actually looking at how many treatments the NHS pays for vs privately funded treatments we see how hypothetical the burden actually is. The following image shows "The number of NHS funded (dark line) and privately funded (light line) treatment cycles performed each year (2007–2012) in HFEA licensed centres involving female patients registered with female partners. Panel (a) shows IVF/ICSI treatment cycles, and panel (b) shows cycles of DI." It's really not even close. The NHS isn't paying for nearly the amount of treatments as one might think if you can get them free, but lesbians are still going to private facilities. Maybe it's because being gay doesn't mean you are a burden on the system and can't get a job and save money and pay taxes. It just means you're gay. I'm sure all those homosexual women funding their own fertility will one day be a huge burden on the system since they wasted their live savings on trying to get pregnant and are unable work due to their crippling depression, obesity, and emphysema. Only, 1 in 50 babies are conceived through IVF/IUI/ICSI and 60% of those are paid for privately. So hypothetically it's has the potential to be a problem, but theoretically it is not. Same sex couples have been discriminated against in the US for a long time. The Supreme Court only made it a nationwide right on June 26 of this year. Having a kid is a pretty big decision nowadays and without some of the benefits heterosexuals had, it's probably easier to avoid it. They now have access to legal marriage and all it's benefits, such as health insurance, tax benefits, death/power of attorney benefits, adoption consideration... there's probably more, but I'm not gay enough to know all of them. Give it some time so we can form a theory of what really happens when they are free of discrimination. I wasn't talking just about Russia, but rather the fact they're demographic crisis isn't unique to them. People are tired of people. The rise of Western medicine has solved many of the issues we used to have. Infant mortality rates, plague, 40 year life expectancy, and even cancer to an extent. Russia's individual problem of demographics doesn't sit higher on the totem pole of over population problems facing the world. It is a massive country, but do you really want to live in 90% of that place? Canada is the same, no one wants to live in most the country. Global warming isn't going to make Siberia habitable anytime soon. I've been to St. Petersburg twice to visit Leningrad for lectures, and it was freezing in May. I'll pass on raising a family their. They can keep annexing parts of Ukraine for warmth and more people. Trying to justify limiting rights is nuts when your country faces tons of self inflicted wounds caused by so many other things than homosexual lifestyles. They'd probably find a lot more success looking other places anyways. Well, Russia has one of the highest smoking rates in the world at 40%. Lets see if they try to limit the smokers rights. I mean wouldn't it be in the same vein as the homosexuals' rights? All that welfare money they spend on smoking related diseases. I'm sure 44 million smokers is a much bigger burden on the healthcare system than the homosexual lifestyle. Lowers fertility rates too, doesn't it? They do collect data on lesbians or rather all new cases of all women. The CDC doesn't break it down by the sexual orientation of the person, they break it down by the cause of contracting the disease. You infer from that what the orientation of the people are from the way they contracted the disease. That is what's important. 84% of women with HIV got it from heterosexual sex the rest from dirty needles. As of 2009 the CDC has not been able to confirm a single case of female to female transmission. You can't pass certain STDs from trying to put the open ends of two buckets together. :hurr: They can still get certain diseases like Herpes or HPV. Actually, most people on Earth will probably get some form of HPV regardless of getting it from sex or not. It's a bad disease to bring up when talking about STDs rates, better left for cervical cancer discussions. I know all about the heightened risks of homosexual males getting HIV. I've had to deal with it in my own family. It's just that talking about it as a problem of gay lifestyle rather than a problem of the American gov'ts policy toward homosexuals when the HIV/AIDS outbreak started is disingenuous at best and offensive at worst. The President of the US wouldn't even say HIV or AIDS in public out loud. He didn't even acknowledge it was a problem. Instead the religious leaders and the morality police just took over the discussion and blamed the lifestyle of homosexuals for the disease. They even called it GIDS (Gay Immune Deficiency Syndrome) instead of AIDS. This was seen as propaganda by many gay men and led to the spread of the disease throughout the homosexual male community. That burden on our society is directly connected to the suppression of rights of a group of people that is still being felt today. It's still perpetuated by religious leaders and disinformation campaigns and still leads to people getting sick. One of my students came to me with questions about STDs a while back and I was floored with her ignorance. Also, because I teach math. She asked me if you could get STDs from anal sex because that was what she heard from a friend. :O_o: Regressive policies lead to that type of ignorance which leads to more people suffering which leads to a bigger burden on society. Our problem isn't from the gay lifestyle it's from the discriminatory policies that prevented a proper response and the lack information available to young people. Look no further that the epidemic of AIDS/HIV contraction in African nations for the effect gov't policies can do to heterosexual people. That's why regardless of the incorrect attitude the west has toward gay men and AIDS, women make up half the HIV/AIDS infected people of the world. Russia is in danger of doing the same thing. It's just as dumb as turning drug addicts into criminals instead of dealing with it like a medical problem. Criminalizing people costs so much more in the long run. It also destroys lives and families even though those laws are passes under the guise to protect families. The UK isn't the land of tolerance as you may want to believe. The Equality Act of 2010 was only passed a few years ago, and they only had decent protection under the law since ~2000. Well after the AIDS epidemic hit US/Europe. Not really easy to find many countries that had a good response to AIDS crisis in the 80s, even if they all now let gays get married.

You do realize that gay people have families right? Your argument only holds the tiniest amount of water if you think they don't have any kids, but we live in an age where technology or arrangements get made all the time. Hell, in a lesbian relationship, they can have twice as many. Trust me the sperm banks aren't running out anytime soon. College kids will always need beer money. Being gay doesn't mean that you don't want kids. And what about straight people that can't have kids? Gotta suppress their rights too for the same reason. Can't have kids, gonna be a burden on the welfare system because they can't produce new people to hold it up. Can't make babies, can't get married, right? Hide your barren lifestyle propaganda from the kids or we'll fine you. "Can't have my children exposed to your propaganda or they might think it's okay go through life without having 5 loser children." "...Or when one's homosexual lifestyle left them with an STD-affected fertility problem (don't know about your country, but in Russia experts estimate that STDs account for up to 60% of cases of infertility)." I'm sorry, but are you trying to say that straight people don't get STDs? I know that HIV/AIDS is still associated with being gay, but that isn't the cause of AIDS. It wasn't a disease sent from God to smite the sinners, it was a monkey disease that happen to make the jump to someone that was gay. Could have easily been a straight person and the demographics of it would be completely upended. You could make the argument that the gov't policy negatively affects society because they are probably ignoring the STD issue and pushing the alternate lifestyle underground. Hard to control anything when have your eyes closed. Maybe they should spread a little of that gay propaganda and see about mixing in some condom use propaganda while they're at it. They have an STD problem they are blaming on people that like to have sex with the same gender, but ignoring that it is possible to avoid some of the problem with a little outreach of pushing protection. Don't forget all those lesbians though. They don't get AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, or hep from sex, so they can make up for all those infertile men. Balance everything out. People having a bunch of kids is just as much a problem. You can pump out and endless supply of useless, mediocre, ain't-gonna-do-crap-with-their-lives children one right after the other and no one will say anything. Those kids are gonna be burden on the system. Not like rich people have 6 kids, it's poor people that do that. Poor people don't exactly give birth to the rich though. Just another mouth to feed they can't afford and w/e welfare program has to cover the cost. Russia being in a demographic crisis isn't unique to Russia. They just use that to justify their discrimination. Half of Europe has a demographic crisis, even Japan has one. I don't see them saying it's all the gays not making babies that are really hurting them. Plus, people without kids can work more. Not taking a day off cause your kid is sick, not taking maternity leave, no added cost health insurance. Sounds like a win-win to me or that Russia just has one really stupid argument. You know why people aren't having as many kids. Because there's to many damn people. Demographic crisis and cultural preservation are just the new codewords. They can't use that old, tired tribal nonsense of keeping the bloodlines 'pure' and not mixing the races so they gotta come up with a new way of saying it. "We aren't making enough Slavic people..." "We aren't making enough <insert w/e> people..." Don't know if you're paying attention, but we are not to far from everyone being a blackish, brownish, yellowish, whitish color. Maybe two centuries until that is the majority. What culture you think those people are going to preserve? Demographics and culture change with the wind, so passing laws to slow down change can affect society negatively in other ways. Keeps you entrenched in old ways of thinking so there is no growth. Look at segregation and Jim Crow in the US, we still have to deal with keeping money and civil rights from 30 million people 50+ years after it ended. States usually pass laws that try to affect to people getting abortions or w/e, but they rarely block it anymore. They know that it will get struck down in court and then the state is liable for damages. Texas has some dumb law about doctors having to show you a video of an abortion or something equally dumb before they can perform the procedure. They mostly try to skirt the federal law. States with legal weed do so at their own peril. The DEA still raids dispensaries in states with the medical only laws. They just decided to lay off the other states because prioritizing actual drug problems puts potheads at the bottom of the pile. Sometimes even the progressive laws can be a bit repressive in the long run. Originally, rent control laws were considered progressive, but now there isn't an economist in sight that wouldn't laugh at it. Bay area still has rent control laws last time I checked. Lots of NIMBY stuff there too, so local gov'ts get in the way of progressive policy.

I welcome anyone to do upkeep. Few things that may not be apparent: Don't use: I, we, us, and you Document changes in the Changelog at the top of the page. Grammar stuff and version updates can be ignored. Any big changes, send me a PM so I know what's going on. Mod deletion/additions, moving mods from one place to another, adding a new section... Never delete anything, just hide it. Remove a mod? Comment it out. Keep everything looking consistent. The style is easy to copy paste when in editor mode.

These.

Sodomy was ruled on by the Supreme Court as legal a few years ago. Or rather your right to sodomy is inherent and the government shall make no law infringing on that right. All current laws are null at this point.

Hiding files just renames the file in the mod's actual folder. The game and MO don't really read the file at all because it doesn't have an extension that matters. There isn't something special going on other than just renaming the file in windows explorer.

Usually if it's just a weapon mod or something adds some items to the game you can use the clean save method. Stuff you can't remove is gameplay mods, quest mods, something that adds tons of items to the game like Weapons of the New Millenia, or weather/lighting mods.

Yeah the rest are in the Bashed Patch. I didn't think of the latest FCO being an issue because I haven't play the game since it came out.
