I was wondering does the Moon and Star - Immersion Patch still conflict with LOTD cos it slightly a annoying that quest starts up right at the begin of the game.

I have still got the merge Section to sort out and the Main CR. I do have some planned rearrangement of some mods and polishing to do.

nope I am not replacing Windsong now the NPC Retexture Merge and CR are done.

OK So all the mods I planned to put in are now in (Apart from the Main CR) Next I will be working through the merges. I will take a look at the many "mini" patches Darth has made and start pulling together the main CR. This might take awhile but we are getting there all be it slowly.

Go On ahead is in the Heads Up Display mostly cos it ended up the Heads Up Display merge in the classic guide. A quality world map, better falskaar map, better dynamic snow for map are actually in the same place as they are on the classic guide which in turn is same place Neo had them for SRLE Base so it was never changed. Looking at there are no overwrites so i guess they could be move to sections which make more sense.

NPC Retexture CR now on Nexus Page.

I am finally there time to actually install LOTD and sort out merges. Merges Page is here https://wiki.step-project.com/User:DarkladyLexy/Lexys_LOTD_SE_Merge_Page nothing on it yet.

ah right I didn't realize it was the static body so we really do need to install the UNP body mod then or I need to change the skeleton, in that case I might as well readd the UNPB Body. You do realized with the merge you even need the Immersive people esp

hey guys I have been thinking about this all day and I have decided to readd Men of Winter so that mean I will be updating the NPC Retexture Merge. Now before i redo the merge what do you all think about the Windsong immersive Character all this really does is give you slightly better Player Presets. I take it most of you create your own character so do we really need them?

OK guys is anyone else CTDing with Simply Knock installed? Edit: Ah missed that part about it being recompiled against SKSE 2.0.5 for users running Skyrim 1.5.16. Only use if you are running these versions. use the Main File Version and you wont CTD I'll change that.

This does look very good indeed and I would agree with baronaatista I never liked Endgame Overhaul that much either also looks fairly simple to conflict resolve. So with that I yes lets add it as a replacement to Endgame Overhaul. Edit: I am also still on the fence about Men of Winter I know I pulled it but now I am having second thoughts.

OK lets save hassle and headaches and pull Endgame Overhaul. Darth honey sweetie chop chop xxx

Ah yes i knew that but forgot cos I was the one that asked. Well we have 2 options: 1 this will be that mod we "convert". 2 I pull it and not bother with it.

I am contemplating that as an alternative to Disparity but not tried so I would want to play with in installed for a while first. I am hoping kryptopyr will update Disparity but I can foresee that may not be a while yet.

Decided to go with Wildcat most because it easier to configure due to the fact it has an MCM while Smilodon doesn't I will also add Vigor as an optional so if you want to use that you can, the others i mention are still undecided. I might as well Add KS Dragon Overhaul as well since we don't have anything dealing with Dragon combat apart from things like AAE. Edit: The other suggestion that was made was Elemental Dragons instead of KS Dragon Overhaul too many choices.

I have not actually tested Smilodon but it doesn't have Wildcats Injuires system so it should play nicely with Vigor. I too used Wildcat + Vigor on Classic and that played very nicely after some tweaks.

Hey guys time to talk about Combat mods: I was think of going Smilodon + Vigor combat a injuries this time or should we just stick with wildcat? I Am also considering Sands of Time Sleeping Encounters Standalone Module, Mortal Enemies, Dodge Mod SE as well.

Guys can I make a suggestion with your test result maybe try and approach the mod author of SSE Nif Optimizer and put to him and see what he/she says about it all. Also now we have got rid of Massive NPC Facelift Overhaul we shouldn't need to run SSE Nif Optiizer with "Head Parts Only" ticked which renders the whole argument as academic for the guide.

You get immersive character as standard so I just left those in there looks OK, plus it will mean yet another update to the Merge and I can't be arsed with that at the moment (Unless I have another change of mind about lets say Men of Winter ). Yes I know I can use the script on CRF as well but Darth said he will deal with anything non USLEEP related in a CR so I will leave that for him to sort out.

Have updated the CreationKitCustom.ini file hopefully all is good now.

yeah sorry guys i was being lazy with the CreationKitCustom.ini it actually the one from TechAngels guide I'll get a fixed one up I can't see why not the difference between UNP and UNPB is UNPB has slightly bigger boobs.

Ok Guys Windsong is in bye bye to the headache that was Massive NPC Facelift Ovrehaul. take note of special installation also take note of the new shiny NPC Retexture Merge and also take note of the new location within the guide for teh whole NPC Retexture Section also added Interesting NPCs - 3DNPC - Overhaul which is part if said merge. with that i am out of here.

Hey guys you can now download a sexy CreationKitCustom.ini extract to your Skyrim Special Edition main folder. If you have already done these edits it should be OK you don't need to reinstall the CK.

OK guys what we really could do with is workout 100% if a mod actually does need optimizing cos at the moment I am saying every mod from classic need the meshes run through SSE NIF Optimizer but that may not be the case maybe. if it does we optimize if it doesn't we don't bother. I lack the knowledge on meshes to make an informed assessment so I have gone with the general recommendation of the community.

Cool as I do prefer the skin textures we already got but I stick with the UNP body from Windsong instead of going UNPB (there much difference really only slightly bigger boobs). SO far i am thinking we replace Massive NPC Facelift Overhaul with Windsong (and use that as our new base) + The Ordinary Women + Fresh Faces + Bijin + the 3DNPC Overhaul (I newly Spotted) I'll create a new merge and Darth said he'll sort a new NPC CR. I we will have extract windsong BSAs (All the other come loose anyway) and maybe even push the section slight up the install guide maybe above ++++Beards, Brows, and Hair++++ Section so those overwrite Windsong? I will remove the UNPB body + switch any UNPB related stuff to bog standard UNP. That I think will put us in good stead for the future. Also for reference I am not too concerned about the difference between this guide and the classic one if things need to chance they need to change.
