Yayyyyyy. Someone uses it. I think it could be a nice replacement for STEP. Currently, STEP uses the enhanced night Skyrim for the stars which is ok but looks pretty terrible with a lot of enbs. Also, the galaxy texture in STEP comes from the HRDLC, which is pretty meh.

Is this mod really worth the hassle with Better Towns Textures/SMIM/BDS, etc.? We should just bring the SMIM issue up the mod author, let him/her fix it, and also tell the author of Better Towns Textures that he needs to update the No Snow Under Roofs patch. Right?

No interest? Well then, ok :-(.

Just a nitpick, you are missing the note for "Dawn of Windhelm" that says to delete/hide the dawn of windhelm.esp, since it's used in the REGS Patch, right?

Ok. Sorry about that. I'll wait for the update and I'll read what you have changed. I just like to understand 100% of what I'm doing and what is in each file. It's just my personality. Believe me, I annoy people in real life too ;-). Does it matter that most of these mods can't utilize ELFX or ELE for the added interiors? Does it take away from immersion at all? Or is it something that you won't even really notice with a good ENB? EDIT: I just read your REGS Patch description. That basically answered every single question that I could think of. Thank you. All I can say is wow, the amount of time and work that must have went into making these normally extremely NON-compatible mods work nicely together is exhausting to think about. Good fu**ing job guys. I really appreciate that.

So it seems to me that the pack is either all or nothing. I was hoping to only use pieces of it (i.e., Dawn of X mods, ETaC, and maybe Immersive Docks or Expanded Raven Rock). If I did that, I couldn't use the Patch (since the patch depends on 3 other mods) and I would have to make my own patches for texture blending (like the esm) and patches to forward USKP edits, right? So basically unless I want to do a ton of TES5EDIT work, I need to install this pack as a whole. Am I getting that right? That is why I keep asking about the Patch. I was trying to figure out exactly what was in it.

Oh god. Duh. So sorry about that. I completely forgot about the STEP Patch.

If I am using Cabal's Silver or Gold Ebony Armor Varient (NOT the option that lets you craft different types. Just either the gold or just the silver varients) do I need to download the "AmidianBorn Ebony Compatibility Patch" for the meshes? Should I just remove that esp since I don't use the differentlyebony.esp from Book of Silence?

Is it no longer required to download the "Compatibility Patch - AmidianBorn Skyforge Weapons" and the "Compatibility Patch - Guard Dialogue Overhaul" optional files? They are no longer mentioned in the guide notes..

And the resources folder? What does that include? Is it that the cities.esp includes the merged esps mentioned in the guide and the resources includes the merged esms?

Last question about this, I swear. So if a mod says - included in regs patch, then it's included in the regs patch - cities.esp, right? I get that. And I don't need to use the STEP patch if I don't use BYOD. So what exactly is included in the Resouces folder? And are the OPTIONAL file "REGS Compatible version") of the mods? Are they your custom edits so that mods work nice with each other and don't clip? Thanks man, really sorry that I'm so confused on this. I'm also just really interested in this pack and want to be able to understand how you customized it.

Sweet. Thanks guys. And the esp needs to load after as well I believe, but I think BOSS sorts that correctly. What i AM confused about though is why the author states that you need to make certain changes to the [grass] section in skyrim.ini...but then the mod comes with its own ini with those changes already made. I don't need to make them twice, right? The author says on the description page to make the following changes: If you are confused, just copy this over your [Grass] section in your Skyrim.ini [Grass] bAllowCreateGrass=1 bAllowLoadGrass=0 bDrawShaderGrass=1 bGrassPointLighting=1 b30GrassVS=1 iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=8 iMinGrassSize=20 But then the .ini file has most of these tweaks so not sure what the point of the .ini file is. Are you using the regular density version or the less density? The no roads version? And are you using any of the mindflux optionals? Not sure why he included those.

I think there is something wrong with the messenging system right now. I think you can replace as well, right? Mine replaces. I also dont use the legendary version. I use each individual plugin and just replace them with the patch esps.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48643/? So this mod replaces both the stars and the galaxy. It is recommended on Prod's Serenity ENB Nexus Page. I tried it out and found that it worked VERY WELL with ENB. I've always had problems with star/galaxy mods looking either the wrong color or way to bright and oversaturated when using ENB. This one seems to have nailed it. It also looks good with ENB turned off. There are two versions. A regular version and a version with lower saturation for ENB (thus preventing over saturation).

I don't have the guide open in front of me (on my phone), but I'm pretty sure that the patch should have an esp that is named something identical to one of the esps in Weapons and Armor fixes. You need to make sure that this compatibility patch is installed AFTER the original mod so that it will overwrite that esp with the one from the patch. You can PM me if you're still confused. I can look at the guide in depth later. Let me know if that helps.

If I want to use this with SFO Regular Edition v191, do I install (I'm talkling about the files here, not the plugin) before or after Skyrim Flora Overhaul?

The unofficial ELFX patch says "It prevents major conflicts and crashes that may be encountered using these two mods together. It does NOT balance lighting issues that may result from getting rid of the conflicts.". Does that mean that it doesn't actually apply any of the ELFX changes to the ETaC Interiors? It just prevents CTDs?

I understand now, thanks. Sorry, I am trying to understand how your pack works.

Aw man. Come on guys.

Well in the pack guide, some mods have a note that says "Do not install X.esp (Included in the REGS patch). I assumed that's what the pack was for.

If I instead use those 3 required mods and then install the REGS Patch but NOT the regs - step patch, will I be good to go?

Hey guys, I'm sorry but I am still confused on the REGS Patch. Setup: I don't want to use the three mods that the patch requires (sewers, faction, and cutting room floor) and I do not use the STEP patch (I download all the mod patches individually). Do I STILL need to use the Regs patch, and if so, which esps/files do I need. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

If I could have figured it out on my own then I wouldn't have asked the question. At least we are all clear. The language gets confusing at times.

Should Better Towns Textures/Mills be placed BEFORE or AFTER this mod? Someone on the Nexus said AFTER but the instructions for Better Towns Textures says BEFORE?

Few more questions: 1.) The directions for the REGS patch load order are confusing. What should the final load order be? 2.) I dont use the STEP Patch....the REGS Patch contains a STEP Patch .esp. How do I work around this?
