    Testing this mod with Embers XD (all options active, no effects excluded) and no ENB active: With this mod active and Embers XD > With this mod inactive and Embers XD I captured several screens with each, and picked the one with the most glow for each ... I see only the slightest glow in the second shot beneath the ?sconce? (I forget the proper term for this). That said, I see the same in some of the shots with this mod installed ... It's just variation. So this mod is redundant with Embers XD, IMO. I vote to drop it. For good measure, I decided to test this mod without Embers XD: With this mod active > With this mod inactive So, for this particular flame, this mod has no impact with Step setup. now I guess I need to find a flame with this issue ... back in a while with that news.... Now Testing another location demonstrates that this mod does apply to specific flames with this issue, but not when Embers XD is used: Vanilla > this mod > Embers XD (yellow) > Embers XD (orange) [Embers XD has all "Further Customization" options unticked]

    Yes, I do see the logic in that PoV. I never use screen effects outside of those that impact the sun (I also play in FP). Once could argue that subtle sun halo is apparent to the naked eye, depending on the eye. Especially unlikely to me are the dirt and blood lens effects. People that wear glasses may think differently, but I don't think anyone in TES games has glasses ... could be wrong on that though.
  3. z929669
    That one is the "no lens flare" option. The lens flare versions look good and just adds a subtle halo (or two) but is otherwise identical, but I suspect Tech and perhaps others will not want it, since it is not present in vanilla and we are disabling sunsprite in our ENB. I prefer the effect though. If we use this one, I'd say it should be user preference. I will grab shots of the lens flare versions this evening and post them if people want to see them. I will likely run with lens flare option (single) as well as ENB sunsprite in my game.

    Discussion topic: SSE - Skyrim Sun Enhanced by grvulture Wiki Link I think it's an improvement. I tested several sun replacers, and this is the only one that looks better than Step 2.0.0 (vanilla sun). The others (Improved Vanilla Sun, Simply The Sun for Sse) make the sun much bigger and basically wash out the sky with our setup. The following were tested at about 8:30 AM in clear (81a) weather. Step 2.0.0 (vanilla) > this mod

    Note that Fire Halo Remover may be redundant with this mod. We should probably test that.
  6. z929669
    This mod may be redundant with Embers XD. I will be testing that mod with and without this mod.

    Mod name changed so added a note to replace previous version to avoid installing two instances. EDIT: I decided not to add a note. It should install using whatever name the user give the previous version. It's just that the version is in the name, which is a bit messy for people like me.

    It looks like the magic effects condition bug conflict with Scrambled Bugs no longer applies with this update (and the latest Scrambled Bugs update). Created Mod Version page without this tweak (see OP strikethrough)
  9. z929669
    It looks like the ability condition bug conflict with Bug Fixes SSE no longer applies with this update (and the latest Bug Fixes SSE update). Looks like .NET 5.0 is no longer a requirement. Moved the Magic Effect Conditions fix from Scrambled Bugs to Bug Fixes SSE Mod version page created for 2.1.0. Mod page updated to reflect changes with this update that are most like our previous recommendations. Only config changes that deviate from defaults are noted.

    Please revisit those instructions and try again. They have been revised clarity. Also see comments on your other post.
  11. z929669
    Go back to those instructions and carefully read them again. I made some modifications. You seem to have all the vanilla plugins again probably because you are using the Steam "Verify integrity of game cache" and overwriting the cleaned versions before moving them into the "Cleaned Vanilla Masters" mod. You should probably start from the very beginning, reading each step very carefully. EDIT: It's also possible that the 'Download' prompt in the game caused the CC content to be downloaded again. In that case, see the next post.

    I don't think I was harsh, was I? Just saw that the mod hasn't been updated in nearly a year and it was cautioned as beta testing back then, so it seemed like the MA was leaving it alone indefinitely due to the AE update affecting his SKSE mods. Look at his forum profile bio. Just saying that I think the mod needs to mature a bit before it's ready for testing for Step is all.
  13. z929669
    That's vanilla lighting for the most part and too bright, but I have a fix we are testing now. ENB 0.3.5 update coming soon to fix this and some other things.
  14. z929669
    What is the ToD in that scene? With or without ENB? I think the ToD is around 9 AM in that scene(?), so I doubt it is ENB but rather EVLaS. Would need to test. I never run the intro, and I bet most authors don't either. Either way, I know our ToD is good in ENB, so I am pretty sure the occasional outdoor lighting glitches are from EVLaS in combination with CW. Again, need to test. Should be simple to see if it's ENB by toggling using shift+F12. Also should be able to check with EVLaS disabled w/wo ENB

    I think they look realistic but could be scaled down a bit for torches. The torch flames would look like that for a torch as big as a tree.
  16. z929669
    I told the author that any trees he does will break the DynDOLOD association where it exists. Maybe that's what he means. I don't see that this mod has the EVT files and last update is on March 2. Perhaps I am missing something?
  17. z929669
    Hmmm. MA seems to have left this mod since July last year though. No update on the description about LOD compatibility, so I wonder if he even knows his mod works with LODGen? If you look at his Nexus profile, he is only interested in updating his SKSE mods for AE ... and by the look of it, he seems disillusioned by the AE update.
  18. z929669
    Looking more at this mod, I still like the idea, but I don't think it's ready for testing with Step at this time. There are xLODGen cautions, and the MA claims that DynDOLOD 3 should not be used to generate object LOD. I was all ready to test and generate LOD, but I don't want to mess with it until it is matured to the point that it is supported fully by DynDOLOD and xLODGen. Looks to me like it has a ways to go yet ion this and other respects. Definitely something I will be watching though.

    Updated FOMOD for new options and added to changelog.
  20. z929669
    Updated BethINI instructions and PP alert to include sun size tweak. Updated changelog likewise.
  21. z929669
    I hadn't noticed that. I will update to your current targets .. we should also mention that using BethINI will also provide the correct settings. I just hate duplicating instructions, since it causes the need to keep them consistent. EDIT: We are mentioning use of BethINI for this, so I replaced with the following and will make edits likewise to previous posts. [TerrainManager] fBlockLevel0Distance=57344 fBlockLevel1Distance=147456 fBlockMaximumDistance=327680 fSplitDistanceMult=1
  22. z929669
    Always remember that the NGIO grass mode and DynDOLOD grass mode travel together as described in the doc. You should be setting DynDOLODGrassMode=1 in NGIO and using the terrainmanager settings and grass settings I posted previously. You must run TexGen 3 with grass ticked followed by DynDOLOD 3 using Mode 1 and selecting 'High' preset. You have grass LOD, so that's not the issue. The only other potential issue is that you have NGIO config settings overriding game INI settings. With the terrainmanager settings I provided, be certain that you have the following either commented out or enabled with these values. This could fix your entire issue without regenerating cache or DynDOLOD: OverwriteGrassDistance = 6144 OverwriteGrassFadeRange = 14128 If you care to try again at some point in the future, this will work Otherwise, post on the DynDOLOD topic with your DynDOLOD logs, and sheson will help you find the issue. It will take some doing that route. I also just updated our Grass LOD guide so that it is now correct for your situation.
  23. z929669
    Yeah, I never use the "create mod" feature of overwrite context menu. I think I saw/tried it once, but my knee jerk to creating a mod outside of the normal MO install process is to use top menu of left pane > Create empty mod > drag overwrite content (or send output to) the empty mod I just created/named. Lots of ways to skin this one it seems. Always a sign of a good application, IMO.
  24. z929669
    It's really inconsistent for me. I still often get the download prompt when I start a new game (but not every time it seems ... maybe just on a new instance?). I must hit enter to 'download' and make the message go away.
  25. z929669
    SparrowPrince is making rocks right now, so it seems like a good idea to me
