IDK.. that's weird... https://pastebin.com/giKQFR6q

Ignore that, doesn't exist now. Here's my current core + ectv + pce radioactive + smc load order.. Diana has been out for a few weeks and the wiki isn't totally up to date yet. She'll be back in another week or so adn we'll get the update wrapped up. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2227296/lockedorder.txt I strongly recommend you try out the post I made a page or two back relating to my current WLSO configuration including cot rrd ess and phinix. Having said that... I don't think she updated WLSO yet. The current WLSO stuff can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2227296/wlso%20bits%20and%20bobs.7z

You would only have one if you disabled northfire

hey joanna! Let us know how things go.. I'll do my best to check the forum several times today in case you have some issues since I know you're working through things for the first time.

Too many changes to things that are all over the CR patch. It's doable if you know what you're doing and wan tot spend the time.

Latest release also added a location for high hrothgar once the appropriate quest has been completed. Out of the box there is no Helgen Reborn incompatibility... there's simply no drop off point. The patch adds a drop off point for helgen and that's it IIRC As far as changing prices... it can be done via console or xedit.. Hell if it's that important adding an MCM for it would be trivial... all it has to do is adjust a couple global values. Edit: Note.. this isn't me suggesting you should change to CFTO... I have no opinion whatsoever.

Tad bit nipply outside today, eh? ^.^

Ehh, the whole quicksave/autosave causing problems is a sadly perpetuated myth in Skyrim... Example.. read Merad's response on https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/2z2cp8/question_why_is_using_autosave_or_quicksave/ There are several posts by Thalassa iirc linking out to more 'official' information on it but I don't feel like trolling through her post history to find it right now. Also yes... string count isn't an issue when running Crash Fixes.

Regarding equipment hud.. Try these keybinds: x: shout cycler c: left-hand cycler b: right-hand cycler +: add to cycler -: remove from cycler [: shift cursor left ]: shift cursor right I try to keep no more than 3-4 things on a given cycler... Just stuff that I'm liable to use frequently in combat. Less used but still useful things I drop on the standard 1-6 hotkeys

Probably needs NAME and STATS as well

Indeed.. I literally won't play skyrim without equipment hud or some equally useful alternative. It's such a huge quality of life boost.

The below settings control camera positioning during combat. Adjust to suit your needs. [Camera] fOverShoulderCombatAddY=0.0000 fOverShoulderCombatPosZ=-10.0000 fOverShoulderCombatPosX=30.0000 fOverShoulderPosZ=-10.0000 fOverShoulderPosX=30.0000

Whoah, that's like way more work. Just as you're making merges change the name of the mod to include the merge tag.. then use the search box.. For instance my ECTV merge mods are all like.. ECTV - ETAC Modulaar ECTV - Dawn of Skyrim ECTV - etc etc ++++ ECTV Merged Also, unless there's file overwriting concerns, arrange the bits of your merge in an order such that simply enabling them from top to bottom results in the correct order on the right side.. Entering ECTV into search box shows only things for the ECTV merge including the merge itself... So all you do is enable the mods and click launch on merge plugins with no further fiddling. Need to look at all of your merges for some reason? put +++ into the search bar..

MFG console simply replaces the console menu... If you install it before extended ui then you get nothing; if you install it after then you get mfg without the ability to full-screen the console granted by extended ui. There's no conflict beyond that and it's definitely not causing crashes... There's soemthing else going on there.

I'm not sure that this si what has happened but the aurlyn esp breaks if you sort masters on it.. or it used to anyways. Re-place the esp and try again.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/su184875tgrrofd/AACYFFXh6xAv9U-0ezU6ifena?dl=0 Everything you need should be there... except the phinix enb.. can grab it on nexus.. Let me know if you have trouble. Ignore the missorted FSP at the top of the plugin image.. just put it in correct order... Didn't notice until just now. Ignore the stuff not checked on the left side... I have to have ti all installed for working on the various versions of wlso for stuff... You only need the bits that are active.. After merging either copy the cot esm into your merge or leave the CoT folder enabled...

Oh, sorry, that's my oblivion load out.

Totally unrelated... and I'm utter **** at screenshots.. but this is what I've been working on in my spare time... Wish I could show it in motion. https://imgur.com/a/NY2ll

If you're so inclined you can find all of the patches I used for the original version of the guide here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hmj7x6vc3yj7g1h/AADF0LKCBw2ypspwrclyLhHja?dl=0 Filter by ectv, etac, dawn, jk, clef, etc.. you should be able to put together your own ectv by merging the bits you want and fixign any minor problems. Just make sure you regenerate the navi in the CK after doing the merge. For the guide it's just too much to be that flexible. For our sanity it has to be an all or nothing thing :P I'll do some thinking/looking and post again later today/tomorrow about what can easily be stripped out without affecting gameplay. The biggest impact on visual awesomness while still staying very performance friendly would be my current WLSO loadout.. Requiem Realistic Darkness + CoT + TS + Expanded Snow System + NLA + wlso and wlso__phinix with the phinix enb... It's glorious with/without the ENB to be honest but the ENB is very light weight especially if you don't run DoF. It strikes that perfect balance between realistic and gameplay. If you're interested I'll load up the 3 or 4 patches required to make it all work with the guide... You'll also want to edit one of the wearable lantern presets (i chose the 1200 range one) to match the Torch02 record from RRD.... Guess I could just include that in the wlso rrd patch so you don't have to mess with it...

IIRC the only real issue is an overlapping sewer exit outside of solitude... Can just deal with the visual snafu or move it in the CK. Fairly painless either way.

Do you care at all about the city expansions for instance or are you going for pure performance and gameplay.

Sweet, thanks. :D My time is slowly slipping away again so I'm sure I'll take you up on your offer soon. I'd rather not go 6 months in between guide updates this time if possible... it's just so much work in a condensed time frame. I really want to find time to do some balance passes and introduce the last few things I had planned for the update but I'm not sure it's going to get done. The real question really becomes does this guide still have a place in it's tiny niche now that Belmont Boy has released Ultimate Skyrim.

One would hope so but I assume nothing on these forums.

Unless something has changed it will not handle the expanded string capacity that bugfixes allows... Leading to save corruption. Alternatively you can just use ReSaver and not worry about it.

You can use a different ENB or adjust the coloring on Phinix to get the colors where you want... You just need to make sure to also adjust the brightness levels on your ENB choice so that the darkness remains roughly balanced and the eye adaptation isn't crazy. RRD does alot of adjusting to eye adapation, bloom and the color of light sources/image spaces in general to get those things just right. Or just stick with what you already like which is totally fine too :P
