WOW.... So I just beat Mikkrul Gaulderson and that fight was extremely easy. Playing on expert mode with Sofia as my only follower at level 20. Super tempted to add RotE back into the pack. OHHH! Also the boss chest at the end of the ruin was absolutely horrible!!! Had ONLY a few Harolds in it, my chest from Bleak Falls Barrow was also the same too. If you ask me boss chests shouldnt be touched by scarcity but I digress.

I just finished playing for 8 hours for the day, privileges of being sick and calling into sick for work lol. Not even one crash during that playtime for me.

Well I fixed the issue kinda, I went into the windows recovery tab and to restore to the last build and after doing that java is working fine now. Same version I had even. I see the grahpics driver I had before updating and looking up that error lead to several post with ppl who also updated their drivers and then java died on them too. So Im off to see if I can replicate the cause the now :P.

Thats not quite why, when I said all of the java applications I wasnt exaggerating. Besides both the ASIS and dual sheath redux patchers I also cant launch the Twitch app I have for accessing modded MineCraft nor the launcher launcher called ATLauncher (both are for MineCraft) and dont work. Windows did do an update on its own and I updated my graphic drivers to the latest build and then manually downloaded the latest java file for both 64 and 32 bit. Removing the old executable from MO for the patchers and adding new ones does not resolve my issue :(.

This is so frustrating, IDK what happened but now ALL of my java run applications are simply not working. I noticed this when I tried to run ASIS (something I have done many times in the past) only to get "Java Platform SE binary has stopped working".

AND of course, (literally the first texture I look at) happens to be the one Im seeking lol for the building foundations in Solitude is called sstonebase01.dds and it doesnt confilct with any other texture so I suspect the rest of our folks Skyrim looks that way too! Just seemed odd that this stone base texture was used around the Bards College door. PS im sorry but I couldnt edit my original post to include this, seems there is a timer in place?

OK does anyone know by any chance what filename this texture is, it looks like some cliff stone edge texture. Is this supposed to be what the game looks look like in Solitude? First picture is the the entrance right past the gate next to Erikur's house to the museum. The same texture can be seen around the Bards College door as well. Problem Area Images: https://imgur.com/a/Ar6e2 Also if anyone has any insight as to what makes this happen: the door to the Blue Place has trim around the door that lets you see through the building, I know its a broken mesh BUT I just dont know what the dang filename is for so I find the problem mod.

Since Undeath Immersive Lichdom 3.6 was updated we no longer need to clean it and remove RaceCompatibility.esm as a master as instructed to do in the guide.

Im so sad, been looking into GPUs and my eyes are dead set on a GTX 1080 Ti BUT the market for these cards is absurd right now with insufficient stock and WAY marked up prices. On a side note I play at a resolution of 1440p, could this be why my Vram is above 4 Gb?

Awe so I should have afterburner NOT monitor the GPU while Im playing Skyrim then. Still need MSI though for the overclock I have. Also is it 'OK' to run SMCO over my entire texture mods or are there certain files it shouldnt touch such as paralax and npcs?

OK so for those are interested in why my game was freezing like it was because it indeed is because of VRAM usage. I Had my GPU managment utility (msi afterburner) display the chart ontop of the skyrim gameplay window so I could view all the stats. Whenever those freezes occurred the VRAM usage was near the max amount 4060. To add further onto this I walked all the way from the Solitude ship dock start to Helgen, not once did it freeze and during the entire time (2 hours of playing or so) VRAM was at most 3800 Mb so a new GPU card is certainly in order :P.

mY gpu is only a lowly 980 with 4 Gb of vram so this definitely could be why and as much as Id like to upgrade (already have a buyer in fact) I must wait for when the new line of cards come out. The next launch GPUS likely will come with at least 8Gb of Vram by default too. I didnt really keep track of the time but seemed like it was anywhere from 30 to 50 mins in playing. Needles to say I have already started trimming the mod list down back to original SRLE Extended with only 6 additional mods, of which are all quest mods: Clockwork, Beyond Reach, Qaxe Questorium, Teldryn Serious Enhanced - A Teldryn Sero Backstory Quest, Skyrim Underground and finally Aurlyn Dawnstone - The Reclusive Philosopher.

Does anyone know by chance what is happening with modded Skyrim: the screen randomly locks up after playing awhile and has that circular 'loading' icon, then the screen flashes to black and then game play is restored and can play as normal or sometimes the game freezes and doesn't recover forcing me to close Skyrim with task manager. I'm wondering if this is caused from the extra mods (mainly most are expanded cities towns, and villages mods) I added ontop of the SRLE Extended guide thus pushing the memory usage off the charts. Has anyone ever experienced this while playing? If so was it indeed a memory issue?

I found what it is!!! Its from Advanced Adversary Encounters - Ultimate Edition and the spell is called Primal Burst. My only gripe about this spell is that when I was play testing my old character I cleared out a cave of necromancers and EVERYONE of them had this spell, they also raised the dead and used wards too. But that fight was not only crazy hard :P but was a bit boring as only that one spell really was used.

Here's a question for you all, it seems like every necromancer character I come across uses the same offensive spell. Lets take Anise for instance (the witch south of Riverwood), she also has this spell where its a green projectile that comes in bunches of 4 usually....or the npcs are casting it crazy fast. This spell is crazy strong and hard to fight especially at low levels. So Im curious if anyone else has seen this spell or not (I already looked up Anise in tesedit and no mod was listed as altering her).

Is it intentional that we install the same Lanterns of Skyrim patch twice? Once in Vidid Weathers and again when we install the Vividian ENB.

..........HUH?! So I was messing around with some other ENBs and when I switched back to Vividian and started playing again the game looks WAYYYYY different in a great way. Wonder if I never actually copied the ENBSeries folder to the skyrim directory lol. Whooops :P

Might want to look again Wheels of Lull is included in the guide in the 'World Expansions' part of the guide.

Found a mod that I feel should be added to the guide when I was looking over memnochris guide SafeAutoSave .

Yes thats normal and seems to happen when there are alot of mods being managed through MO, when that happens I usually just refresh by clicking the drop down menu next to the back and restore buttons.

OH really, now thats interesting. Now I have to ask how many hours is a play session generally? As when I was playing all day yesterday which was 12 hours (was having a ton of fun) the game had a CTD 2 or 3 times but that crash fix error didnt occur during that play session.

Is this error normal from crash fixes? I have gotten this error a few times while playing my character now and have verified that Crashfixes is installed and configured correctly as the guide instructed to do so. Out of curiosity for those that are actively playing how many crashes do you get while playing? just for reference so I know what to expect. Skyrim has failed to allocate memory! Possibly running out of memory. Size / alignment of object being allocated was 5592580 / 0. Some things you can try: 1. Make sure ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true is set in enblocal.ini - if you don't have ENB then install ENBoost and enable this option. 2. Try set AlignHeapAllocate=0 in CrashFixPlugin.ini - if you get additional crashes then put back to 1. 3. If it's during ShowRaceMenu then close the menu from time to time to free memory. 4. Enable CustomMemoryBlock in CrashFixPlugin.ini to reduce memory fragmentation. 5. If it's during ShowRaceMenu then disable UseOSAllocators=1 and re-enable after character creation is completed.

One mod I personalty enjoy using with legacy is The Eloquent Reader. This mod give you a small amount of speech skill for each book that you read and since you'll be picking up alot of books to be put on display it complements well. You will want the 'True Scholar Sneak Preview' file as that version works with all books in the game, only complaint is that it also works on small notes too lol.

Does scarcity work well with legacy? I only asking because some of more interesting loot gold loot has a 0.004% chance of dropping lol.

If I want to try out some other enbs should I remove the Vividian - ENB from the weathers merge?
