Pandore

Don't think I missed lot of things, I think I missed to read all the readmes from all the mods, and some things were not written in the guide. Like that thing to not delete the Overwrite folder content from the ui mods. But yeah maybe I'm not good at modding if I get all that issues. Nevermind, I have other issues ... Don't think it is really important and maybe it's normal but I get missing images of objetcs in Pip boy menu, like on the SS https://imgur.com/a/wk9ZT The most annoying problem is I have in game background music (not radio) that loops, always at the same moments I thing, like it's lag but it's not because I'm at 40 fps minimum. An idea again ??

Ok I deinstalled all the ui mods (I deleted it, that I did not do before, I just replaced them with new install *sorry*). So now all is working even One Hud !

New problem ! (Ty so much for the help again) When I was in Doc Mitchell house, I could access the menu normaly (with save and load), but when I got out (I think after I tried my weapon, the 9 mm) I can't access it anymore, I just can click on the MCM menu ... An idea ?

Mmh the link redirect me here I don't know why :(

Thank you all for your answers ! For the pipboy thing, it can't be the ENB because I deactivated it before it became blank ... And i did not use graphic modification from the enb so ... For the ENB, maybe I missed a thing ... I don't think I have the good version because I think I remember than in the guide nothing was precised and I took the last version. But I think I'm not gonna use it anyway, too much trouble for just memory management, I'm okay with the FPS so maybe I'm gonna skip it. Edit : ok maybe I'm gonna try you made SS and all to explain :p For the HUD, I tried reinstalling all the UI mods, I always delete the things in overwrite before launch so I don't understand ...

Ok found the problem for the Third : that was Omnis Hi Res Pip Boy 3000. When deactivated it it was normal. I don't know what is the problem because with ENB it worked ... (even if missing textures on character heads)

Full edit of my previous post : FIRST PROBLEM I thought I had a problem with FCO with missing textures for characters (Doc Mitchell at the begining) but when I launch without ENB, my textures are back. So ENB is the problem. It do things like that : https://imgur.com/a/PW302 I precise I only use ENB Boost (normally, I followed the instructions ...) but with ENB Injector (I have Nvidia Optimus and already had problems with ENB on Skyrim so I didnt tried without it). What can be the problem ? If I can't find well I'll just play without I think ... SECOND PROBLEM One Hud is making bad things with my hud. It works without it. With it activated, it do that (cubes of color) : https://imgur.com/a/6HMj3 Can I play without ? What can be the problem ? (I reinstalled it once alwyas with the patch for DARNUI v4 ...) THIRD PROBLEM When I get rid of the two problems ahead, I have a problem at the beggining with the Character creation (reflectron), it do that : https://imgur.com/a/KnuwR What is that thing ??? I don't even know what is responsible of the view of that element, so I can't even search the problem ... HELP PLEASE Thank you :(

Hi there again. Well, I'm trying hard but always problems. Here it is : I can't get rid of that textures of Fallout Character Overhaul. I can't launch the game from my F&L profile in MO without having no textures without that mod. If I launch the game through steam normally, it works perfectly and all the textures are there. I don't know what to do. I want it installed to get NV Redesigned 3 working but even if I deactivate the 2 mods it don't work. The only way to make my MO install work is to activate this FCO.esm with the mod ... HELP PLEASE ! :(

Thank you ! Ok I've chosen NV Redesigned, but I did not thought of the conflicting cells ... I'll see if it works, if not, I'll come back to FCO.

I also have smthing to report but maybe its nothing. When I generated Bash tags for my Yuki Merged Mod.esp I have 12 bash tags but I don't have the Actors.AIPackages Instead I have "C.Name" Is it normal ? Edit : well FNV Edit said that but in Wrye Flash it says the good things ... Don't know why :/

Thank you a lot ! I also have another question I saw the guide is using Fallout Character Overhaul, which is great. However, I discovered NV REdesigned that is a bit more recently updated, and that looks great to correct some of oddities in the apparence of characters compared to the story. (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56312/?tab=3&selected_game=130&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D56312%26user%3D1%26gid%3D130&pUp=1) What guys think of that 2 mods ? Can we use both ? What mods do you prefer and why ?

Hello everybody I see people is more on that topic that on the support section. Smbdy can help with my issues ? Please :( It's here ... https://forum.step-project.com/topic/12208-problems-in-modding-my-fnv/ And I saw the question up in the forum but I can't find a real answer so maybe I'll ask it again (and sorry ...) What do we have to take instead of Realistic Wasteland Lighting Enhancement ? Or we take nothing maybe ? Thank you in advance and sorry to be the noob again :/

Hi ! I'm sorry to create a new topic but I think my case is a lot of trouble and maybe it will be easier if I expose all the problems in one thread .. If you dont think so sorry :s So, I've been starting from a install of F&LNV from 2015 (sorry), never touched it since, I already had problems. So I've checked all my plugins until the end of the UI section (after Flashlight NVSE and UI Organizer). So I tried to launch the game and I had so much weird problems maybe I'll begin to expose that before continuing to reinstall ... Here the screenshots link to see the problems : https://imgur.com/a/Gu0NT - Mouse pointer problem at the beggining - HUD is reprensented only by cubes of different colors - Meshes are really weird ... OMG Thank you if you have a clue on what is going on (please, I know I should go from a fresh start but thats a lot of work and I know I did the things in order the first time so it should work ... I precise I use cleaned esps and optimized textures of the original bethesda esps. (I tried without the optimized textures its not the problem ... The cleaned esps maybe ? Ill tried without tomorrow ...)

Hello everybody ! My rig is not really powerfull, but I absolutely want an ENB to run, smoothly as it could, with my game. So I felt the need to test the "Performance", as it states, ENBs to compare for my visual taste and for the performance impact. And I felt I can share that for the one interested ! I have the STEP extended install, and other mods, the main changes for landscapes is Verdant Grass mod, I think. For the ini changes, I put my iMinGrassSize to 80, and I removed all the deferred shadows (DrawLandShadows, Shadow on grass, etc). I changed the resolution of Shadows to 1024. For the moment, ENBs that are tested : My rig is not really powerfull, but I absolutely wanted an ENB to run, smoothly as it could, with my game. So I felt the need to compare ENBs about visuals and performance hit. And I felt I can share it ! Here it is : https://www.flickr.com/photos/137921014@N05/albums/72157661639983923 I have the STEP extended install (https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2), and other mods, the main other mods I use for landscapes is Verdant Grass mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60220/?), I think. For the ini changes, I put my iMinGrassSize to 80, and I removed all the deferred shadows (DrawLandShadows, Shadow on grass, etc). I changed the resolution of my Shadows to 1024 also. More comparisons will normally come. If you have an interesting ENB to test, tell me in the comments ! At the moment, ENBs that are tested :Redshift performance ENB, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55134/?Tamriel Reloaded ENB : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49834/?Vividian ENB, Vanilla Preset, performance version : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36067/?

Yeah I understand that. So I'll probably not get the 50 FPS, but if I can hold it in the 30s, I take all the good advice here ! Thank you for the warning !

I know but in movement it looks like a dozen of black squares that are moving around on my character face ... I'll try what you are talking about and see. And maybe I'll take a short video to show what I mean ... Thank you anyway, sorry for the stupid looking questions :p

Yups sorry, I thought it work like that ^^ https://www.flickr.com/photos/137921014@N05/24623203285/in/dateposted-public/ That worked ?

Hi there. So I am trying to get an ENB that suits me about performance and visuals. I am taking comparison SS atm to post it on Flickr soon, to share that (I'll make a post on the forum whe I have enough SS !) While dealing with all this, I thought that to gain performance I could tweak my shadows. I change my ShadowMapResolution to 1024 and I think it is that tweak that make so horrible shadows in my game, in particular on my character face, see SS, yeurk : https://imgur.com/7EqlmH9 (that one is with Snapdragon ENB, but in action and Vanilla it is THE WORST, hope you understand what I am talking about) Can I make this less horrible without losing performance ? Have you an idea on how to tweak my shadows better ? Here my settings about shadows (tell me if I forgot something) : Skyrim.ini [Display] iShadowMapResolutionPrimary = 1024 SkyrimPrefs.ini [Display] iBlurDeferredShadowMask =5 fInteriorShadowDistance =3000.0000 fShadowDistance =3000.0000 iShadowMapResolutionSecondary = 4096 iShadowMapResolutionPrimary = 4096 iShadowSplitCount = 2 ... iShadowMode =4 ... bShadowMaskZPrepass =0 ... iShadowMapResolution =1024 fShadowBiasScale =0.3500 iShadowMaskQuarter =4 ... iShadowFilter =3 Thank you in advance !! :3

Thank you very much, I was so confused ! I changed it in my ENB local ini, I'll try it without ENB graphic modifications EDIT : I gain like 5 FPS, not all the time. So I am between 36 FPS rarely to 45 - 50 FPS.

So, I removed Renthal's HD pack, I put the same inis setting for the grass that on Verdant mod page, and I gain 10 FPS in the light forest seen in the SS ... That's less pretty, but what can I do ... I am between 35 FPS and 40 - 45 now. And with less huge drops. Maybe I'll have to put that up to 100 for iMinGrassSize (I'm now at 70 ...). My lighting and colors is the worst, I think. It's very ugly in interiors, and depending on the time, in exterior too, in my opinion. I don't know what to do for that : all the ENB's I tried were very demanding. Maybe now I can retry, but I don't know which one I should try with the STEP config and my poor PC ... An idea ? Here the screens to show what I mean : https://imgur.com/a/h708T I am now using ELE Lite, Relighting Skyrim and Pure weather ... I mean it's not that bad but you know, if I can enhance it ...

I have an optimus PC, so I have an INTEL (4168MB, in my dxdiag main panel) and the NVidia Card (8GB, I see that in Nvidia Geforce Experience). Where I can find what you ask ? Because I am a bit confused with RAM and VRAM, I don't know if there is a difference. Here parts of my Dxdiag if it is what you ask : ---------------Display Devices Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 Display Memory: 4168 MB Dedicated Memory: 112 MB Shared Memory: 4055 MB Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M Display Memory: 6051 MB Dedicated Memory: 1995 MB Shared Memory: 4055 MB System Information------------------ Time of this report: 1/23/2016, 23:58:07 Machine name: MÉLANIEPC Operating System: Windows 10 Famille 64-bit (10.0, Build 10586) (10586.th2_release.160104-1513) Language: French (Regional Setting: French) System Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Hello ! Thanks for the kind answer :) Here is my enblocal.ini. I'll try installing low quality textures right now ... For the ones it exists ! enblocal.ini

Hello there, I am also interesting in that question. The ENBs recommanded in the dedicated section guide are too strong for me or functionning with old ENBs binaries. Maybe someone could have recommendations for me : a ENB that is working with STEP extended, that is not too performance hitting (Intel Core i7 + Nvidia GTX 860M), and with the latest binary ? Thank you :/

So here I took some SS with benchmark. I think FRAPS is responsible for some drops of FPS in this case, but there is a clear difference between interiors / snowy landscapes / forests So am I right if I suspect a grass mod ? Verdant ? Or SFO ? Or Renthal's textures ? I'll try to remove them to test but if it is SFO it's a problem because of the STEP patches I think ... https://imgur.com/a/0gL8T

Hi there, and thank you for that fantastic guide ! (and sorry for my english as I am french) So I followed the STEP Guide from the beggining, and just add (a lot) of other mods after, and do the proper procedure : DynDoLOD, Bashed Patch, Merge plugins, etc. I tried Vividian ENB but it's too hard for my rig it seems. So I just have ENB Boost. In interiors, I have a good FPS (between 40 and 100). But in exterior ... OMG. So I gain some FPS by turning down the draw shadows settings (on trees and grass) in SkyrimPrefs.ini, but I still have huge FPS drops (from 40 FPS rarely to 20 FPS). I'm pretty new to all of that so I don't know where it can come from, and I hope some of you can help me. Here my rig : GeForce GTX 860M Intel core i7-471HQ CPU 2.50GHz 8 Go RAM 1920 x 1080 I attached my inis settings (I took them from the MO folder), my list of mods, and a Screenshot of the SPM monitoring. If I forgot something tell me, and if I have to precise more or search somerthing tell me too ... I'm just desperate after all that modding carefully. I hope I am in the right place and I hope I can ask that kind of support, if not just tell me kindly and I'll understand ... :( Thank you for you attention guys ! EDIT : I'll do some different SS with benchmark to help see what's wrong skyrim.ini skyrimprefs.ini archives.txt loadorder.txt modlist.txt plugins.txt
