I managed to start the game by disabling the Interesting NPCs mod. The one with 3DNPCs.esp. It can't seem to work with that enabled... However inside the game, random npcs male female children appear with black or really dark faces. Which mod could be responsible for that?

Double checked, all BSAs that were supposed to be extracted, are extracted. I just finished the whole guide with the DynDolod and bashed/smashed patches but still the game won't start. :/

What do you mean by LE BSA? I'm pretty sure I extracted every single BSA where applicable as per the guide's instructions.

OK I ignore but what about the no game starting issue? There is no error message, no nothing.

Hello Lexy, I gave the guide another run and it went smoother than the last time I tried. I reached the finished line after running LOOT with exactly 250 mods. No errors. However, when you say at the finishing line to do a test run, I can't seem to start the game. I use SKSE through MO2 but it starts up waiting for the game to start but it reverts back to MO2. No error message, no nothing. I tried all the usual suspects like a load order or missing esp but all are there, no errors at xEdit either. Can anyone help? I don't want to continue the guide with this issue as I feel it will mess up even worse... PS: Should I clean ArtifactsofBoehtia.esp (3 ITMs), Imp_helm_legend.esp (5 ITM), Andromeda (1 ITM), MLU.esp (271 ITM), Helgen reborn.esp (20 ITM) etc? PS 2: LOOT suggests to use MLU Improved Closed Faced Helms patch, and other such warnings about Predator vision.esp etc should we? PS 3: LOOT reports incompatibility errors on the following mods: Immersive Horses.esp with Relationship Dialogue.esp, Immersive Citizens AI Overhaul.esp with Dawnstar.esp

Hi there, I just reached the finished line part of the guide and reached the time for a quick test point. the game starts OK but hangs just after the initial screen. The bottom right corner has the spinning loading icon shown even after almost 20 minutes... I didn't find any mistake in the steps of the guide and followed them to the letter. I couldn't however figure out what you mean in the intro of the merge section, to use the "optional folder of MO or auto disable the merged mods"? Could you elaborate a bit on how to do that? The weird part is that after running LOOT several plugin ESPs get disabled automatically after the sorting. Not the small esps that are patches but really important ones like Skyrim immersive creatures, falskaar etc. The game starts but crashes as is expected, so I just re enable all of them so there are no missing masters error in MO2 but the result is the eternal spinning loading icon...

I noticed after a bit of gameplay, around the time you first go to meet the emperor, that Geralt's body is pitch black!! Not his head, just his body! For some weird reason, it stays black no matter which skin mod I install lol Any suggestions?

Well after a lot of restarts etc the game with the guide works properly. Had some issues after the tutorial scene in Kaer Morhen where the game was freezing right after, but it got resolved somehow...

OK I found the cause. You have a line in the user.settings edits: TextureMemoryBudget=half your memory GPU, when I set that to 4096 (I have 8192 total VRAM) the texture quality setting in video->graphics becomes LOW for some reason. I just left it default at 800...

Greetings Neovalen, awesome to see you making the Revisited guide for The Witcher 3. The Skyrim one was amazing. So, I followed your guide to the letter and when I went into the game, the graphics were like the picture attached. Seems something happened to the textures or something? Any guideline would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello people! I recently got TW3 in Steam and tried Neo's modding guide (since I loved his SRLE work). I reached the merging part of the guide but I got an error in the process: This of course lead to: and then it continued with: and ended the cooking process with: Did I do something wrong? I followed the guide to the letter up to this point :/ Anyone help me?

Great!

Yes it is strange, my CPU goes up to 20-30% while the GPU up to 80%. It's very intensive within Whiterun with the beautification changes on. Without it I get around 45-50 fps very smooth gameplay and 60 flat outside. Edit: Maybe some of the mods in the SMC Full are too heavy still. Like the ones that are not in the nexus and I had to get from other sources SRTO/SRO. They are the UQ versions. 4K+ textures etc. I will disable those and retry it. Also a small detail that escaped the guide. When you make the changes for the Race Adjustments in the final steps of the guide. After you run the script and you click CTRL+S to save the file, the file is saved as: [00:00] Saving: Requiem for the Indifferent.esp.save.2016_11_14_13_38_44 Now, in the following steps where you transfer the height values from Race Adjustments to the Requiem for the Indifferent.esp, the changes are saved to the regular .esp. The initial esp remains in the overwrite folder while the other is in the requiem output folder. I think that before you make the race adjustment values you should quit xEdit and copy that overwrite .esp to the output folder before doing the final adjustments. Am I correct?

So finally done I think. Installed iNeeds too (the more immersive the better). Thing is beautification with ETAC... too much Fps hit even for a GTX 1070... I got from 4 up to 45 fps (average 20+) in Whiterun with this setup with or without ENB. It seems Skyrim isn't meant to be overloaded that much.

Great! Good to know!

OK it's history haha

OneTweak. Gotcha! Is it that important to have? I mean I don't use borderless window, should I have it?

Yes I will re-install iHUD later. I mean when the game starts to load and you click a mouse button or play around with the 3d model, it freezes and crashes. I did download the ruffled feather and used it with SMC but no such esp was there. Could it be that SMC was looking for the 4.3 version? I just renamed the 4.4 into 4.3 because the latter was not available anymore. As for the survival mods, shouldn't you look into them since you include them in your guide? Even if they're optional it means people have the option to use them and as such, they should work properly with the rest of the mods.

You think it's because of OneTweak? I haven't tested without it. This crash happens when loading the game initially from the menu screen. If I'm already in the game and transit between cell areas like entering a house, it seems to be gone. Reloading a game makes it happen again.

So you fix an issue and another appears. haha I reviewed my beautification guide, fixed some odds and ends, installed my Somber enb (it looks amazing) but here's what wrong this time: a) The immersive Hud hotkey stopped working. No matter which button I assign, the compass and rest of the hud doesn't appear. b) The Frostfall bars showing cold and hot feel a bit "wrong". The cold one works OK showing blue gradually growing when you get colder. The heat one however, remains empty with a red halo around it but it doesn't feel up with the yellow/red color when you stand near a heat source and you get the message "I'm starting to feel warmer". c) The crash on the loading screen if you click a button is still there, no idea what's causing it. It loads up normally if I leave it alone too. d) The better dynamic snow.esp is not present in the SMC output folder so I have to re-enable the Ruffled Feather. I think I will just delete the whole installation and start fresh...

OK and sorry for the lots of questions! I appreciate the answers!

I see. I will check to see if any of its files get overwritten by SMC because I haven't included any mod from the "NOT to download" list. You have a loadorder.txt for the beautification guide as well?

I have a kinda stupid question. Which mod in the Base guide installs the skins/textures/meshes for the female characters? I can't see any of the usual suspect like UNP. Is Or the male ones for that matter. All there is in the Skin/Body section is: 29.1 [CoverKhajiits]29.2 [FAR - Forgotten Argonian Roots]29.3 [Khajiit body replacer for UNP and CBBE]29.4 [Moonlight Tales - Werewolf and Werebear Essentials]29.5 [RUSTIC CHILDREN] And when I created the SMC profile I had to activate the original Ruffled Feather mod because the Better Dynamic Snow.esp was not included in the SMC Output folder. It could be that SMC required v4.3 but I only could find v4.4 though. Also shouldn't there be a LOOT argument entry in each of the guide's versions to sort the .esp files properly and automatically? It's kinda frustrating when you go from the base guide to the beautification one...

Just a random female bandit. I will check to see if anyone else is that way. Do you think it needs any patch in order for it work with Requiem or some other mod? I can't wait for this and Neo's guide to be ready for SSE. hehe

You're right about the ENB / SPM part. As for the other, I will check when I get home. I distinctly remember NOT downloading any body mods with the SMC though. The WSCO install is not messed up as it works fine before the beautification. I changed my ENB into the Grim & Somber and looks amazing now. Pictures to follow. I've had issues with textures and SMC in the past and I had been tried to avoid it. I will rebuild if I find any body mods were downloaded by accident. Also a mod suggestion: Gopher's Pumping Iron: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29476/? It's quite light and gives a really good immersion into the game.
