Rayhe hi! Personally i only merge the good guys for Boethiah and Namira into a personal merge to load near the bottom of my load order. DB good guys requires a patch from LOTD patch central to work with LOTD, you could merge this in your personal merge, but may have to add LOTD as master or Wyre bash to change mastership, also if memory serves DB good guys has errors in it that needs fixing before merging(use xedit): Thieves guild good guys again as memnochs says i keep separate as i await v3 to come out...though Mordivia2 is quiet clear on upgrading. Don't use immersive jewellery, there was a problem awhile back with LOTD and Dual Sheath Redux..slot positions, BUT they may have been resolved by now..know LOTD has a patch for it

Rayhne hi! Concur with both godescalcus and memnoch: I use all good guys mods, amulets of skyrim, oblivion artifacts and as memnoch says fix some minor issues by hand

A happy New Year to Darth, Lexy, Nozzer mate, all the regulars, forum administration staff of STEP, and all others. May you find peace, joy and happiness this year, to both yourselves and families

Meshkis hi! Lets start from basic...deactivate all your mods in MO. Activtate Skyrim through Bethesda performance tweak armor. Does the game load with menus? If so, add the next block (other fixes - as headlined) until the menus don't show. This way you are narrowing the options down, on such a big guide, as to where the problem may lay..see how far you get. If you get to a point were no menus show (which block), and then in the problem block, try individual mods. If you get to "The big push to the end", you know the set up to that point is working as intended and we can look into it further. Apology if you already know this and have tried this....its long winded but what i was going to advise ZeroSignalDX before he found his problem. Best regards and good luck

Well caught Darth, how were you able to tell what version Wyre bash was by simply looking at the error report? Zerosignaldx glad all is resolved.....i was in the process of posting when your post came through, but not relevant now, enjoy your play

ZeroSignalDX Hi! when i said not to worry about dyndolod it was ONLY WHILST TESTING, to find the problem. i.e just to see if the load order would start and show menus. If you have adjusted your load order AND YOU ARE SURE THE GAME STARTS, WITH MENUS...if not, its pointless you still have your issue. Then it may be best to run everything from Khjiit show ears through to Dual Sheath Redux, so that you know every thing is clean and good. Once you are sure all is well then start a new game. Best regards

ZeroSignalDX Hi! I'm not familiar with this bug..never once encountered it. So i'm just spit balling here: 1. Are you using mods on top of this guide? If you haven't already, try disabling them and first follow the guide exactly. Ensure that your load order is the same as Modwatch...yes Loot gives slightly different, and the guide has hand placed mods to overcome issues. Rerun your FNIS, BASH and Skyproc patches (don't worry dyndolod yet) and see if the game will load with menus etc. If not then you will have to go over your layout, merges etc and verify everything is correct. If all is well then 2. If you wish to add mods on top of this guide, do one at a time...but FIRST download Lexy's Modwatch loadorder text, and place it in your MO profile file...this allows you to set your loadorder easily without having to rerun LOOT and hand move esp again each and every time. When you add a mod on top of this guide, run LOOT and note its load position/no, restore backup(the loadorder modwatch text added, by using the Yellow arrow symbol in MO) and manually place the new mod in the required position. See if the game will load with menus....we are ONLY SEEING if the mod clashes with or is the cause of the bug encountered. Its a painful process but you are slowly narrowing down the issue 3. Any mod added on top of this guide may need to have conflict issues resolved and you will have to make you own CR patch to do so. 4. If you find the problem check conflict issues, run LOOT..note your mods positions, restore backup l/order, hand place mods, rerun all patches and hopefully all is well. This is my process and others may have easier ways of do so...hope you find the issue..good luck.

Merry Christmas everyone: Wonder if someone could help with a strange glitch that seems to have crept in game. If i stand too close to a door and activate the door, it seems as though I'm pulled into the door (from camera view) and anything around me i.e books, are knocked off shelves etc...(not using blocksteal redux). Also if i stand in idle pose the camera doesn't have the leisurely 360 spin round, but twice if not three times the speed. If i talk to someone, the face tracking is really quick. I thought it may be Face to face mod and adjusted the speed but seems to have no effect. Has any body encountered this before and a possible solution? I can live with it, just have to keep away as far as possible from doors when activating

People say they wish for a white Christmas....give me the sun and beech every time

Nozzer i fully agree and understand: This may be a temporary situation....i was merely speculating in the long run should things go south...personally I'm happy with the guide as is, and am finally playing and not adjusting/upgrading etc...hoping to have a long playthrough. Side note: Are you going to have a barbie(Braai/barbecue) and a few ales over the festive period with the feet up. You've got the weather for it, unlike here...grey and miserable oh and not to mention boxing day match?

Nozzer /Lexy...not that it effects me now as I'm playing, but if MannyGT still has his mods hidden for awhile, whilst this situation is resolved, Claraux might be an option for LOS, though i will admit I'm not sure of the work involved to make it fit with the guide.......ready to go down in a hail of bullets lol To Lexy's post regarding Moddrop yaya in full agreement

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you Lexy, Darth, Nozzer and to every body on the forum.....here's wishing you all the best and good fortune in the days to come

And there we have it Ladies and Gentleman, we have a winner....chalk one up for the humans....ONLY MESSING AROUND, each to there own

Kneph hi! Nah! Well placed arrows to the knees and whilst they on their knee saying "i cannot best you...mercy" you pullout your dagger and say whilst applying the throat smile "mercy ..like you were going to so me" Ok Ok more mercy? A well placed arrow between the eyes or in throat, got to be better than up close a personal with a sword...besides we have to look after that "sweet beauty", blood yuck, think of what it will do to my nails and i have just had manicure Lexy you bet me to the punch again: as to point A. Yes we all know that. B. have you attended the wake yet? LOL

Out of simple curiosity Nozzer, what female character did you finally settle on? A big boned heavy weapon wielding female orc, or an egg hatched Argonian born under the serpent star and given to the King of Argonian to partake in Shadowscale trials of the Dark brotherhood, or a sweet beautiful Breton archery/ magic wielding spellssword, if any. Lastly what is the secret ingredient/substance your boys partake in....can't seem to do any wrong with bat and ball and congrats

Lexy hi! LOTD v19.2.2 is now out with the required scripts to clean from save game. On a separate note, you know how you find a mod and just love it that you would not play without...for me LOTD, College of Winterhold, Helgen Reborn, Levelers Tower....found another thanks to Mcshame and his video play through. Simple mod that gives you a diary that you can use in game, to note wildlife, quests, journal etc. Used similar in Morrowind and is now a part of my game that i will not play without. Hmmm strange i love it in game, yet in real life never used one...go figure...https://www.nexusmods...yrim/mods/48375.

Memnoch hi! Yes the red priestess..love fantasy art and found this on a web page and loved it...obviously not me, but it showcases good art, and when you compare it to the actress, amazingly realistic

Memnoch love the wet cheetah, sums up how i feel some days....as for Darth, poor fellow...if he's not in the dog box, he's kicked around, when not kicked around, he's told there's a pregnancy taking place, after being away awhile, and no it's not Lexy......heart stopping fear of not my girl!!!!! BUT the dog. Perhaps the picture of said cheetah sums up his days sometime ONLY KIDDING, bet Lexy thinking this right now

Mcshame hi! Thank yes, found it after digging around on web, prior to seeing this post, and like it. In Morrowind as said similiar mod that i enjoyed playing with so looking forward to trying this. Appreciate the feed back and again thank you

Reddvilzz hi! Sirjesto mentioned this on one of his post(Not sure where..possibly patch central), though he states that he had not personally tried it out. I brought it up here in case the guide wished to resort back to RRR enhanced as on the previous guide and Neovalen's guide at one stage, but i think the consensus was to say as is. My thinking at the time when there was a shortage of bathing areas, RRR enhanced could address that issue, but Showers in inns had already been added in

Mcshame hi! Out of curiosity on your youtube "Skyrim Playthrough (DID) - Ravlof Haugen 1-001", you have a journal in game that you are able to edit etc, which reminds me if a similiar Morrowind mod....SO is this a skyrim mod and if so which one, or one you added in for the playthrough video. Appreciate any feed back

Lexy sweetness a small query: Idiot check for Loot under "Big Push towards the end", "IcePenguinWorldMap.esp - Load after Vivid Weathers - Merged.esp", but on your Modwatch you have it loading BEFORE crime overhaul, and not below vivid weathers merged....SO is this rule wrong and should we follow LOOT which places it before crime overhaul?...Ta sweetness

Reddvilzz Hi! If i remember correctly the reason this isn't used is because of conflict with LOTD.....Nightgate Inn in specific, caused problems for the Ongar's Kegbreaker Quest, the chest with relic item and DB Orc...again if memory serves me correct, something with layout, navmesh etc due to RRR Enhanced. This was flagged by the LOTD team at the early stages of this guide being made

Geeee785 Hi! Generally speaking these are what mentioned in the guide: 1.LOOT: Perform the following(and again every time mods change with an esp): 2.FNIS: Perform the following(and again every time animation mods are changed): 3.Wyre Bash: Perform the following (and again every time mods change with an esp) 4.DynDOLOD: This will only need to be executed again if object textures are changed.Perform the following to execute TexGen.exe: 5.Skyproc Patches:Each time load order is changed, ASIS/Dual Sheath Redux should be run again to remake all existing patches.Failure to do so may lead to a CTD on startup.

JDGBOLT Hi! I will be the first to admit I'm no expert with computers and there workings etc but as Redvilzz mentioned in an earlier post today, you can go though the guild again and substitute 2k textures for 1k textures which may help with memory problem, also possibly Nobles skyrim mod, skyrim flora overhaul and trees/grass mods as they tend to hit fairly hard. In the past it was advised for people with less vram to: CrashFixPlugin.ini It is advised to adjust the following in your SKSE/Plugins/CrashFixPlugin.ini file: [Patch] UseOSAllocators=1AlignHeapAllocate=1It is recommend to set these as well to avoid memory fragmentation CustomMemoryBlock=1CustomMemoryBlockTotalSizeMb=128 (this value is system dependant; set it to 64 and increase little by little until the ingame console shows the memory blocks between 80-90% and none to 100%)However Memnoch would be the best to advise on this and to read his guide Stability Performance Optimization ENB Configuration - a Comprehensive Guide by Sthaagg if you haven't already
