Two odd things just happened. A plague dragon attacked me, and its breath did zero damage. Eventually he started shouting and that did some harm, as did his physical attacks. Also, after the dragon died, with a whole animated death scene, it didn't do that whole dissolving thing and i didn't get a soul. I reloaded the fight and killed it using magic (the first time was with a weapon), and I got the soul. Not sure if this has to do with all the CRs and merged patches or a bug with DD, AAE or one of the other monster mods...

Is sirjesto planning on updating his merged AAE patch? (I also posted this QQ on his mod page)

Just to be sure I understand ... in the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod readme, for the upgrade to 16.5.1 it talks about the need to clean scripts. Do I do that by running the ReSaver, and then right clicking on the relevant scripts and deleting them?

I have never managed to finish Skyrim, and I am going to do it this time, damn it. I have always found the problem with many mods is that they make the game too easy.... Ideally, I would tweak the mods themselves, but I don't have the time or skill, so I am just trying to create a list of things to do (or not do), to work towards that. Comments from more experienced people would be very appreciated. Apocalypse: Don't use Ocato's recital. Way overpowered. EFF and Followers in general... don't use unlimited Inventory. Unlimited money. Timing is Everything - Set Daedric quests (especially Break of Dawn) to something like level 45 LotD - Do not use any weapon rewards, just put them on display CCO - turn off Smelter & Tanning experience. Do not smelt items created by player Consider installing PermaZones or Static PermaZones What else?

I just followed the guide https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited_-_Legendary_Edition/DDSOpt_Processing

Ignore. Disabling the Optimized textures from DDSopt fixed the problem.... but then that poses the question why does that affect anything ....

Anyone else not getting Helgen Reborn to start? Even using "SetStage BalokHelegn01 5" is not getting the quest to start. Unintsalled, reinstalled, nothing. Anyone else?

Here is the relevant part from the FOMOD EDIT: I dont know ... i must have done something dumb when I installed and gotten to an installation path that was incorrect... forget i said anything

BTW, the options for EVT has changed slightly and guide needs to be updated (darker LODs option at end)

When I try and run the hishy script on unique flowers, I get: Exception in unit line -1: Error in unit 'userscript' on line 32 : Undeclared Identifier 'RecordByHexFormID'"

Ok, lets start with the fact that Skyrim has pretty limited combat, and there isn't a lot to be done about that. So, the combat mods out there try and make enemies a bit smarter have value. And then there are the ones liek Vigor and Wildcat that start messing with the mechanics, and add stamina, stagger and injuries, and I just don't think any of them have improved it... just made it way more lethal, in both directions. It all becomes a question of who hits first, gets the stagger in, and game over. The full body stagger is just ridiculous, IMO. Curious what other people (whu might have better reflexes than me) think.

Ooooh. Interesting. Will need to look. Given his work on Injuries, we mightw ant to consider using Wildcat's injury system instead of Vigor's. Frankly, I am not sure why we have both Wildcat and Vigor. Its like 99% overlap, no?

ReSaver did find some dangling leftoevers, and I cleaned that, but still have the problem... o well.. I dont use 3rd person that much anyway

I disabled iNeed, and that didn't help. No, it doesn't happen in a new game

Nothing, unfortunately ... which is why I am pretty sure its some kind of state/spell/effect and not the idle animation itself

Did that. No

Indeed it does persist

Did that. Didn't help. I suspect I have some kind of hidden effect on me.

Yep

Posted this in the LotD thread, but that thing moves fast... Need help. Somewhere along the line by standard standing idle animation has become a wobbling drunk. If I am standing still, and go into 3rd person,i can't even walk. I can jump and then i walk, buts its a drunk staggering walk animation. Drawing a weapon breaks me out and i walk fine, and obviously it works fine in first person. I tried getting drunk and then recovering, but that doesn't fix it. Any ideas?

Wow. The LotD rewards are completely ridiculous. On the one had we have Morrowloot, room rental, you hunger, trade and barter, etc cutting back on the monty haul treasure-fest, and then LoTD dropping infinite charged, highly damaging weapons

Curious how people play with their mod settings.... What are people selecting for Treasures of Skyrim? Lore or non lore? ICW should have its setting to turn off all the free XP. Timing is everything ... given how pathetic and weak one is at 9th level, and how unpleasant vampires are now, its eems that should be delayed a bit. What else do people change?

Well, color me stupid. Ok, all of my BSAs are packed... can I ask why BSA should be unpacked? How does that help things?

All of them. They show up fine when I am not using my DDSopt bsa. Also, I am suspecting that my Jaysus swords are also no showing up. yes, I have the base jaysus mod installed, and I see the BSA in the MO data folder...
