Must be an installation order problem. Install the mod and click into the mod details and look at the conflict, this should identify which mods is overwriting the chest textures from Detailed Chests (and vice versa).

In AFT if you turn on equipment management, you will get a new option in the Follower menu to "show you her inventory" that doesn't not have a voice at all and just skips to the menu. The original option is still further down in her conversation menu that will activate her lovely voice. I prefer no voice, not just because Lydia's whining can be grating, but because there are lots of default generic followers that use the same voices (Like those added by corners of skyrim.) and if I have two followers using the same voice, its very distracting. (Of course, there are follower mods that are voice but these are by far in the minority.)

Try out Supreme Storms, Supreme Fog and Morning Fog together with OR without COT, they really add a lot of atmosphere and unique weather to the game. Looks great too. Volumetric fog is so hard to do and I think the author has done a great job given the limitations of the game engine. The Blizzards and Torrential Rain is really well done and just makes the world so much harsher. I personally think the Blizzards added in this mod really is NUTS and very much like the real thing, you can't see shite!Â

This mod makes sense, especially if Lydia is bugged to hate you, but since I am using AFT (amazing follower tweak), I don't use the normal conversation question to get into her inventory, so I don't get the whining at all. Which would make this mod obsolete with all three follow mods, AFT, EFF or UFO. So if these mods are going to be part of S.T.E.P. or S.R. or other packs, then this Lydia is just another mod in the load order that isn't necessary.

I have tested the mod without the esp and it works fine! BUT I only kept the first 6 files in the directory, as the rest of the files will do nothing without the esp. I also used the low res version (which looks fine) and actually decrease the size the texture a little further. By default the low res version is 512/512 (texture/normals), I recommend 512/256.

You can use the 1K textures alone without the rest of the mod? That's nice.

I am digging the amidianborn landscape for roads especially with an ENB. Totally have replaced the nice roads from SRO for me. Highly recommended. I will try it out your way now, maybe I will like Cabal's Whiterun without the green roads and average grass.

Just install it manually assuming the torrent isn't corrupted.

Unreal Cinema is a full on very heavy ENB experience, although there is a lighter version. I doubt that Unreal Cinema will be the recommended ENB for SR:LE since its a very cinematic ENB and is subject to individual tastes more so then an ENB that deviates less from the Vanilla. I am not the official guy, but I suspect ENBoost will be an integral part of any future S.T.E.P. or SR:LE edition and ENBs themselves will be relegated as optional. The SR:LE as it is today is very incomplete and is not recommended for use.

I have it in the load order and activate it occasionally for some spice. But, I don't dig the color scheme, so it's not a permanent fixture in my game. I would be interested to see if some specific textures could be integrated to the SRO, Skyrim HD and Serious HD SR pack.

1) it can't, so it must still be in your system(s) if it is truly the cause of your issues. 2) Well, I recommend renaming the Skyrim installation directory and just try reinstalling Skyrim again. Forget the guide for this test. 3) I don't have problems with ANY game with my old 580 GTX card or my new Titan card, if you have AA problems in other games, sounds like your card/driver combo has issues in general. I remember I had a SLI card in the past and that had issues galore. 4) Really? I've never had problems, uninstall and if necessary install a generic VGA driver first. 5) Who knows, you could run a stress test on the card though, there are software and guides online. I do it when I overclock to test for stability. 6) Sounds like its worth a try. I have found in the past if your game has an issue, you are stuffed till they fix it. I bought Far Cry 2 and I had to wait like a year till they found the problem and so I could finally load the darn game, great game btw. Well, I haven't ruled out PS4 or Xbox as a suitable platform, but not until they allow you to mod, upgrade your hardware and use a mouse and keyboard.

I thought so too, not a missing mesh as that means the texture wouldn't be there (as commented above by @Aiyen)... but it just looks like an "optimized" mesh to me, so now the texture isn't applied properly.

I've been using this mod since it came out, much better than the other replacer mods, good to see this one get included.

As a series, I can think of a lot of valid candidates, oddly, I remember distinctly the Elder Scrolls not being particularly successful as RPGs go back in the day of Daggerfall. I remember playing this Ultima Underworld want-to-be with its generic random dungeons and thought, dang this is buggy as hell and the graphics weren't even very good and the combat was dodgy at best. I remember Wizardry being way better and even the Might & Magic series being more popular. The problem with M&M was that in later installments of the game, they failed to innovate and smooth out gameplay, it just got bigger, more complicated and you had to be more dedicated than the previous installments which made the series as a whole less and less approachable for all but the most die-hard fan. Of course the success of the Heroes of Might & Magic, made that company lose its original vision of the game's roots. To tell the truth, I still like the multi-character party for the RPG genre. Makes more sense really, especially coming from Pen & Paper RPGs. The Elder Scroll as an influential series really didn't occur till the release of Morrowind, in which finally technology was able to catchup to the game creator's vision of the game world that they created back in Daggerfall. If nothing else I will give Kudos to Bethesda for their voracious tenacity with sticking with this franchise for as long as it did and bring it back from the brink of Oblivion (pun intended). Now its their biggest cash cow. But during the 90s, when you compare the Elder Scrolls to the 2D hand-drawn graphics of the games that use the Baldur's Gate infinity engine, Planetscape: Torment anyone? The early ES games were subpar in its execution in my opinion. Those infinity engine games were a piece of work, that worked well with the existing technology and I still remember opening my 6 disc copy of Baldur's Gate and thought wow(!) and when I loaded it, it totally freaked me out. It was engaging and gorgeous and in the end help kick start the RPG modding craze. Going way back (beyond the criteria of the referenced poll), I think games like the Bard's Tale and its various clones like Eye of the Beholder should get a mention, these were the Skyrim of its day and introduce tonnes of budding geeks to computer RPGs especially in Western Countries. I still fondly remember my master monk that would kick anyone's butt unarmed. Wasteland, as I mention before was simply visionary and its scope compares well with Fallout New Vegas & Skyrim especially if you consider that it ran on a Commodore 64. It was an amazing achievement. Brian Fargo deserved the recent success of his kickstarter for its official sequel and is a testament of Wasteland's importance in the RPG genre. It's spiritual sequels in the Fallout series, especially the early installments I think still pales in scope when compared to the original grand-daddy of this sub-genre. The storyline for Wasteland and its in-game execution is simply amazing and very detailed, the use of verbose battle descriptions is simply legendary. Wasteland and Pirate on the C64 are my favorite game experiences of ALL TIME bar NONE! One of my favorites of all time was Dungeon Master on the Amiga 500, now that was an awesome and beautiful RPG, not very grand in scope but was simply the distillation of all the best pseudo 3D dungeon crawl. Too bad as a series it fizzled out because of the limited scope of the system and dungeon crawl. But its execution as a game was simply elegance personified and even after all these years, its clean graphics and UI design is still beautiful to my aging eyes and its UI has been emulated by countless games there after. Not to mention that it was moddable, before the word "mod" came into popular vernacular. Ultima had a great start but between you an me Ultima IX totally destroyed the series' credibility. No doubt that its earlier games were the most influential RPGs of their time though. The high point of this series for me was Ultima underworld, an off shoot of the main series and the innovations in game play at the time is only rivaled by System Shock whose gameplay and interactivity with the game-world is astounding even today. Its relative obscurity from the main stream is the only reason System Shock isn't on more "Best Games Ever". I live in Hong Kong now (having been bought up in Australia for much of my childhood) and find that Asian countries are heavily influenced by Japanese Culture and because there are some overlapping characters (words) between Chinese and Japanese and a general lack of English literacy in the 80s and 90s meant that Japanese RPGs are the top dogs here. So I understand the popularity of the JRPG, but I think its due to the limited exposure Asians have to the hardcore western RPG genre. JRPGs are more about following the story as it emerges during the gameplay, the gameplay allows some character generation and development but not to the extent of Western RPGs and you tend to get hand-hold more so through the character development during the game. Also decisions in JRPGs tend not affect the main storyline (even though many western RPGs are guilty of this as well... Skyrim anyone -,-) and the storylines tend to be linear and the gameplay mirrors this as well. So I find JRPGs lack exploration during gameplay, they are more about exploring character abilities as they develop whilst sitting back and watch the pretty cutscenes. Hopefully games like Skyrim will bring more exposure to the RPGs I like here in Asia and in the end I think the Elder Scroll deserve a place in the upper echelon of games that matter. As for a Top 10 position, even with my professed love for the series, I think there are many competition that I think influence the industry more and I haven't even started to talk about all the other genres that are not any less significant (for example: Dune II followed by Command & Conquer that kicked of the massive RTS craze that is still with us now and what about Diablo, love it or hate it, its formula may not work as well as it did back when it first came out, but boy was this game influential and fun). These polls is a prime example of when democracy can fail and become a popularity contest. Now, Get off my lawn!

Okay, I will try that. I too doubt that just the textures (optimized manually) would cause issues on its own. Thanks. Will report back on the results.

What I am confused about is why would the problem still be present after uninstalling Skyrim and then reinstalling afresh with no mods? That just sounds wrong or somehow the uninstallation or how Skyrim is run has left some residue files that continue the problem. After reinstalling, have you tried running the game via the default Bethesda menu? I am of the mind that if running a 100% clean install of Skyrim and you still get these issues, then the problem must be your drivers or worst hardware. Have you tried download a Nvidia driver remover program to remove your current drivers completely (app should be found on guru3d.com) and try reinstall the driver afresh? As for hardware issues, you can have those without temperature problems, so that doesn't rule that out. Of course, if all this still fails and other games works fine, then maybe it is a message from a higher-power that you should move on to another game. Modding is only fun if you have the possibility of actually playing the game without gagging on graphical issues that annoy you badly. I came sooo close to quitting myself, but everytime I am faced with the decision, I've uninstalled all my mods and found my game stable again...

Medium, ddsopted low, no difference for me. Freeze city. Garfink Skyrim Junkie Anonymous.

Test it yourself with your load order is best, mixed reports on this one. With my attempt at zero-crash tolerance, this scripted mod is off my load list due to its low priority. Garfink Skyrim Junkie Anonymous.

Really, I didn't know the Wood Elf had this problem, I also had a long hiatus and missed out on all the official patches. If the problem is still there, maybe its caused by an official patch not being installed properly? I've a wild idea and I am grasping at straws I know: I assume you own a legit copy of the game, so maybe you can try a non-legit copy with the patches pre-installed? I don't know why this will make a difference, but at least you know the patches were installed properly(?) I would do this if I was getting desperate. (I have 2 legit copy of Skyrim, the original and now the Anthology for the record!)

Skyrim's FPS is not capped, unless you turn on a FPS capper or vsync. I can assure you that it can go beyond 60 FPS (even if the Havoc engine doesn't like it)!!! and with ENB physics fix, the game works over 60 FPS quite well, you may still get the odd gravity issue, but its nothing.

Nope, I have a Titan & a 5Ghz CPU and the transparency AA still takes a toll, but the game still remains at playable speeds with it on... but with everything else turned up... it still hurts, with everything ON with Somber ENB (high settings), grass dense, temporal & subpixel & transparency AA, 2950x1440 res, FOV 85, I get 37 fps outdoors and 39 in whiterun. I get like 160+fps vanilla without ENB... talk about performance killing!

Reinstall Borderless Windows's single dll and see if that helps, if not then it must be a load order problem and I suggest you follow my instructions. I can't imagine that dll changed anything enough to prevent you to load Skyrim to the initial menu.

If you did re-install Skyrim and you still have issues, then you have either a driver problem or a hardware problem. Have you tried installing another driver version? Also have you then followed the S.T.E.P. Nvidia Inspector Tweaks to the LETTER? Have you overclocked your CPU or GPU? Have you check your computer's FANS? Have you messed with BIOS settings? (In this order). If all this doesn't help, then you've a faulty card/motherboard, then you are really screwed. Edit: I had a look at the pictures of faulty hair you posted.... I haven't checked if my game has the same problems BUT who cares, the hair problem doesn't look game breaking to me. Can't you ignore it for now and just simply move on? Don't pick those affected hairstyles and play in first person and forget it. I would. Edit Edit: These problems shouldn't exist in the Vanilla Game, so either you didn't really uninstall everything properly or something very weird is happening. I can only imagine the only cause for these odd issues is a mesh problem probably caused by incorrect optimizing. (I am no expert, since I don't know how to make mods, but logic seems to point me in that direction) It has nothing to do with transparency AA that's for sure. You may have mistakenly messed up the mesh somehow...

@z929669 Use Mod Organizer to install mods, all BSA are automatically unzipped to become loose files on install, so it doesn't matter what the author upload.

You need to download the FMC version of the previous builds, which worked well with Extensible Follower Framework for me. (I didn't know the new version lost this support, I figured the support was build in... oh well... good thing I am not using it anymore any how, I uninstalled it the moment that, I found that I was actually physically annoyed when I walk up to an NPC and discovered that it was from this mod, because you know it will interrupt your gameplay for at least 7-15 minutes with pointless dialogue, it felt like a in-game book that when you pick it up and you were forced to read it! The novelty wore out after 3-4 conversations. Now if every character in the mod had quests for you to actually play through, then the conversations would have been fun. Don't get me wrong, I think some of the character's life stories are very interesting, but almost all of them had absolutely no impact on you.)
