While the guide is "technically" in beta state right now there are some things that DarkladyLexy and Darth_Mathias haven't gotten around to: Like making the idiot check for Bash Tags. It will come this is still a work in progress and is no where near finalized. The amount of experience here varies from very experienced to beginners, you will know who is who.

Glad you switched to iAFT. I think you will like it a lot better and it is a "little" more immersive than the "wheel" in EFF. Now if Krytopyr will just port Better Stealth AI for followers I will be a happy camper. But that isn't on her list yet :(

Hot off the Shelf Sovngarde HD recommend the performance version!

As far as this goes, I'll take fluffy snow over footprints I prefer the look and I won't miss the footprints that much.

Since I don't really assist and test (I'm afraid of it) at the moment and just try to provide advice to the new people, I am starting to notice repeat questions of things we have already provided answers for. I hate to come off sounding like a posterior cavity, but there is a a search function on this forum, and before you ask questions (especially concerning MO2, SSE Edit, DynDOLOD and Wrye Bash) it is a good idea to type their names into the search bar and all the posts concerning them in this thread will pop up. You can scan them quickly and 9 times out of 10 find the answer you are looking for, because it has already been discussed. It's what I do. But I am anal, ocd and all with constant anxiety (did I do that right?). Just a suggestion.

I'm with Berndaroy. The speed with which you have and are doing this has taken a toll. Get better we all will still be here.

Welcome back DarkladyLexy and Darth. Glad all is well. I know you like your mountains and thought you might want to take a look at this (it comes in 2k and 4k versions with 1k lods for DynDOLOD or LODGen) Glacier 4k.

I use SSE Textures Optimized and SRO as base, put Noble on top, I also use Terrain LOD redone (love it) Majestic Mountains light for me, to much color and stuff going on in dark. Rustic Windows Too. Must Haves. Haven't got to Ultra Trees yet, saw it when it came out not too long ago, looked to complicated but will try it as I"m installing the guide

Yes, the mods merged into the bashed patch are included in it and there is no need to activate them. Just make sure that the mods that were tagged as NO MERGE by Wrye Bash were not merged. This also frees up some esp slots for additional mods.

The awesomeness of the DarkladyLexy never ceases to amaze.

I typically play 1-15 adept, 15-30 expert, 30-45 master, 45+ legendary and adjust as needed. The game "really" begins for me in 30-45 range when my character build is nearly or totally complete.

Well I think I am gonna take the plunge and start this profile and work on it for an hour or two a day in between current play-through breaks. It keeps pulling at me.

Me personally (considering combat mods and difficulty here) would use some natural regen. I typically play 1-15 Adept, 15-30 Expert, 30-45 Master, and 45+ Legendary, a little cheesy but I prefer it that way. I noticed a very short lag with TK Dodge last night also. Three files from it get overwritten by FNIS output, wonder if that could cause the delay? I also am a fan of Mortal Enemies and use it with OBIS/SIC/HLE/SIC-HLE/SkyTest/Smilodon and AAE, might be overkill. But I like the idea of making it Optional.

Not for milk drinkers my butt! Ultimate Deadly Encounters aka Sands of Time is for hardcore Skooma addicts only! It is OBIS/SIC with all additional spawns on Legendary difficulty times four (4). LoL

Okay I have a silly question regarding the SIC HLE file. Its states that it is an optimized version of HLE with SIC creatures added in; so, does this preclude any further use of HLE alone? I noticed that Advanced Adversary Encounters has a patch for HLE but not the SIC/HLE (patch) file. I'm currently using both and a couple of others on my TechAngel profile and if HLE alone is redundant, that would trim the esp count down some, not that it is a real issue at this time. I asked here because of the SIC/HLE file and AAE inclusions in SRLE Extended LotD SSE.

Toccata is pretty much a necessity on harder difficulties and combat mods. I typically use her and one or two others on typical play throughs. I did have a Battle Cleric with 5 followers on SRLE Extended but when I recently reinstalled Windows 10 it wiped the files (I didn't think it would touch my other drives, just my Windows install drive). But whatever. I have moved to SSE now. Making copies and rename as indicated in the meshes/prometheus/architecture/statuessnow/ folder. Do not delete the originals. Actually I will use SSE Optimized Textures and SRO as base and put Noble Skyrim Performance Pack on top of them. I like it. Did pretty much the same with SRLE Extended and LotD.

DarkladyLexy (and Darth_Mathias too) are amazing. I could not believe how fast you got this up. Stellar work and dedication. I cannot wait to install it and play with it. I am currently in a play-through with an Argonian Illusion Assassin (Bow for "flying" Dragons or very long range Fury/Frenzy application only) with a modified TechAngel85/SSE guide. As soon as I am finished I am going to dive into your LotD guide. I am salivating for it. I can't wait. This is the first Argonian I have ever created and I love him. He has really grown on me. He provides such different approaches to situations and combat with his "water" abilities. He is an excellent thief also. He is evil and has already committed a few murders. I'm debating the addition of vampirism, will see. Inigo is an excellent companion and this is my first "real" total experience with him. I'm really getting into the chatting, whistling and such with him. What an excellent character mod he is. I like him better than Sophia. No Toccata this run. Inigo is just there as back up if something goes incredibly wrong in dungeons, he is also useful for a traveling companion and random encounters. I do not fast travel.

I love it when you pop in game and get a little fun. I wonder if that flickering could be an issue with fluffy and no snow under the roof. Possibility?

I think you have to type 000000f or 00000f Lexy.

Well, DarkladyLexy....you could always say, "RTFM". LoL

I really hate to go and suggest an addition this early DarkladyLexy, but I really think you should check out Fluffy Snow. It works well with Better Dynamic Snow and to me it looks absolutely amazing.

I did the same with Asheron's Call before I moved to WoW. Asheron's Call's open world was so large you could put your character on auto run, leave for two hours and come back. As long as you didn't get stuck at some mountain or a "sticky" mob didn't kill you, you would still be running. I played it for several years and had only discovered about 60% of the world.

ROFLMAO "wussy". That made my day. Haven't heard that in a while. I'm more of an explorer and flower picker myself but I do like my combat also; however, it is secondary to exploration, flower picking and just admiring the scenery.

Thank you for the reply. She sounds wonderful, in fact I have two characters up and running with a modified version of Tech's load out. One is baby Argonian Illusion Assassin who I love and the other is a mid-build Breton battlemage very similar to your lovely Orsimer. I typically play females but these two are males. I also use Sofia as a pack-mule/archer, Toccata - because Toccata, and my Skyrim love; Jenassa, as a light armored dual-wielder to take the heat off me. She has never let me down. Sometimes I use Inigo or Jessi the Barbarous Beauty depending on mood. I so love this game.

Well I am finally going to ask....DarkladyLexy what character type is your lovely orc? I gots to know......:)
