All i did was forward the conflicting records from my patch into the npc fixer patch. I played for a good 10 hours with no ctds. Cleared fellglow keep, and a few other mage infested forts and caves. AAE to be fully compatible and integrated tho needs further patching. Cloaks and npc retextures conflict with it. My patch only covers YASH. I also installed some of sir jestos patches. Check darths guide for reference. Did my own custom merge for that. Once the requiem guide is finished being updated i am dumping YASH. Requiem is better in every single way.

cool. good to see some action in this thread again. lets not let these guides fade out. Ruscky found a solution to the immersive horses issue in the requiem guide.

yeah its a good idea but i dont have the disc space to do that. My skyrim folder as it stands right now is 86GB in size lol. Thats the entire yash guide plus majority of textures from SRLE LOTD. Whats crazy is that number DOES NOT include a couple large mods like LOTD itself and interesting NPCs because those were downloaded manually and put into my "pending mods" folder outside of the skyrim directory. Add those and my skyrim folder would be even more bloated. I dont delete mods in the download folder. I just select "remove from view" after installing.

Forgive me if this seems too obvious but is your ENB local set correctly? When i used Darths LOTD guide i was having a lot of CTD's in combat due to what im almost sure were memory issues. I was also using windows 10 and i didnt set crash fixes properly. My memory usage was going over 4GB which was causing freezes and ctds. On windows 7 if crash fixes is setup correctly and your ENB local is configured correctly i cant imagine why you would have any memory issues especially with your hardware. https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI/Memory

Awesome. If you got it to work stick with requiem...its a LOT better. I LOVE requiem. I am using NLA at the moment.

Me too. I typically only keep the vanilla skyrim profile and then my "modded" setup whatever that may be. Otherwise its waaaay to confusing and cluttered. If i redo something ( like switching from requiem to yash) i nuke everything and start from scratch. The core is basically the same sure but its a mess of patches and redoing merges.....just simpler to start over. Dwonside is these guides and heavy mod lists in general take for me...minimum of like 3 solid days to install lol. The merges alone took me all night to finish. If you have a busy real life schedule it could take a full week to install.

I attempted to patch it but it didnt work. Its the horse race record being overwritten that causes the issue. Loading the immersive horses patch below MA and wildcat DOES solve the problem. I tested it. I just didnt like doing that because its a deviation from the guide. im kinda OCD like that My current YASH setup functions flawlessly. Minus some light issues with claralux which i THINK doing a reset in game fixed. Looks AMAZING also.

Not intended to be a knock on the authors. But its an issue/mistake. Obviously i like the guides or i wouldnt use them..... This thread was for bug reporting...and immersive horses definitely is an issue. YASH is alright but Requiem is FAAR better. IMO.

There is no left pane limit....only a PLUGIN limit. I have seen people with up to 1000 mods...yes one thousand in their left pane. Right now i have around 500 in my own left pane. Doesnt reflect that in modwatch due to merges. The only reason i can think why your mods wouldnt show up in game is if you didnt have fileselection enabled in your ini files.

Believe JD answered a similar question pages back......using newest versions is perfectly fine. Changes are more than likely very minor. Cant remember what version i installed cause its been a couple weeks. But i installed newer version than whats in guide and everythings fine.

Yes and no. The patches and load order are setup in a way that adjusting load order like that will mess up the patches of other mods. In order to fix that issue the patches and load order would need to be redone. Immersive horses is completely broken as is in the requiem guide and for that reason i stopped using it and switched to YASH. Immersive horses patch (the traders patch) to function correctly needs to be below both minor arcana and wildcat if you use it....which doesnt work with this guide like i said due to how the patches and load order are setup. One possible solution might be to remove the immersive horses patch from requiem patches merged....rebuild the merge WITHOUT that patch and then load the patch by itself below everything i mentioned. Over sight apparently during development of guide.

I run the YASH setup on windows 10. Didnt use SMC but instead manually installed textures based on SRLE and the LOTD extended guides. Used all 1k and 2k textures. Mostly 1k. I barely get ctds. So it is possible. Reduce your texture sizes and check memory usage with skyrim performance monitor.

Wrye Bash works fine for me. Are you using the standalone executable with the Mopy folder extracted to skyrim directory? Is it properly setup as an executable inside MO?

Welcome. Guide was designed to be compatible with ANY ENB preset you want. I would follow the NLA merge section of the WLSO part of the guide and just substitute NLVA instead. Believe you would also need to install vivid weathers (without the esp). NLVA uses the textures from it. Not sure what patch you are referring to but i dont think its needed.

In addition to what nozzer said make sure you are NOT using the newest relinker. use version 40. new one has issues which caused CTD at menu for me.

Feel free to take a look (or anyone else since i know paul doesnt have it installed anymore) Their definitely not compatible out of the box. many many conflicts. Patch took me a couple hours to make. The patch on the YASH site is for version 1 of AAE we are now at version 2.5 load it up in TES5Edit and let me know if you disgaree with any of my changes. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/82232/? I mostly merged them together. Just kept YASH static levels and stats while adding all the perks abilitys and combat styles from AAE.

Question for JD or Paul. I added advanced adversary encounters because i dont really find YASH to be very hard. I made my own patch to make it compatible with YASH. Which i uploaded to nexus btw if anyones interested. Problem is that the NPC fixes esp overwrites a number of the changes and reverts them back to pre patch. Is it safe to either forward the changes directly into the NPC fixer esp OR just simply load the AAE stuff after NPC fixes? What would you guys suggest?

Verify that merge plugins as the right permissions and is setup correctly. also make sure your load order is right before attempting the merge. Missing even one master wont allow you to fully do the merge. I had this issue a few times. If merge plugins is setup right and your load order is correct everything should be fine. I move all esps i want to merge to the very bottom of my load order and make sure their in the correct order before i load merge plugins.

Looking at your mod list it looks like you deviated quite a bit without even knowing if you got the guide working. You should install the guide EXACTLY as instructed. TEST your game to make sure it works and THEN and ONLY then add other things. Its important to follow instructions because you cant really test as you go due to all the esps in the guide. It looks like you didnt even follow the prerequisites section correctly. Also like nozzer said make sure you have your left pane sorted by priority. Easy to accidentally click something and get confused if you arent experienced with MO. and i hope you arent trying to run this on intel graphics like your ini files say..........................

Make sure ENB is installed correctly and your ENB local is configured correctly. Also make sure you have DirectX libraries installed or ENB will crash. https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB

I wouldnt mind helping i am just not sure im comfortable taking that over. Really doesnt need major changes tho. Just some minor edits and adjustments. The Requiem guide is kind of broke IMO. I installed and played both. Immersive horses in requiem doesnt work at all as it is. Patches need redone, merges need adjusted, and load order. Requiem also is MUCH better IMO. I am playing YASH right now mostly cause i wanted to use this guide and it doesnt have the compatiblity issues requiem does. But Requiem is a FAR better experience. I am level 30 in YASH right now and added advanced adversary encounters to make it more challenging. (made my own patch). Spell failure makes magic pretty much worthless early on. You have to grind the skills up to at least 35-50ish to even consider relying on it in battle. He does compensate for this somewhat by faster magicka regen and it also affects NPC's. I turned picking ingredients failure off because i thought it was retarded to have a skill requirement for picking flowers and muchrooms.....that doesnt and shouldnt require skill. YASH isnt bad at all but Requiem is just plain better. YASH offers a less hardcore and more forgiving experience than requiem.

That shouldnt happen. I never had any issues with that. I would double check your load order and your DynDOLOD installation. Make sure you did everything right up until that point.

I installed YASH with ECTV and i was getting ctds trying to go outside. If started outside i would CTD randomly. The ECTV merge has errors. Believe paul posted a link to a replacement (fixed) esp somewhere pages back. They should put that link in the guide and mention why. I just removed ECTV altogether and all relevant patches. Just had to rebuild 2 merges. (didnt find out about the fixed esp till after). Game works perfect now. I would like to use ECTV but the city mods are very performance heavy and i already drop into 30's in some spots and ive already started playthrough. The SOL mods were another concern and why i havent went back and added ECTV in. Guide needs updating.

I just skipped SMC altogether and installed texture mods the normal way. Mostly whats in SRLE and darths guide. Aside from several mods no longer being available i just prefer installing them normally. The 50GB of disc space was also a concern. YALO and others have been hidden. The guides really need updated. With the requiem guide as is immersive horses is completely broke YASH guide several merges have errors that the guide doesnt even mention how to address....so users have to go searching for solutions on their own. ICH has errors. ECTV has errors. SOL mods are hidden. Great guides but they need fixes and updates or people will be discouraged from following them. Except for very knowledable ones who can fix things theirself.

i am using the latest version. Something is definitely not right. Rolling back to version 40 worked for me as well. (just tested) newest version has issue.
