Ogham Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hello again Neo, was wondering if you've seen and considered the mod Immersive Sounds ( Aural Assortment ) - only touches 2 Dwemer sounds from AOS, brings a nice overhaul to the mostly repetitive generic sounds, vid from Brodual is available on the mods page itself. I'm gonna give it try though. Link to comment
peppergomez Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have just begun the install for this. Am I okay to use the current version of the guide, which is from July of last year? https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited I noticed there is a disclaimer that the guide has been frozen while a new one is being created. I'm about finished with the prepping the Skyrim install and will start installing mods soon. Link to comment
DanielCoffey Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The newest Skyrim Legendary Edition is only about half to 2/3 complete but you should certainly be able to get the previous July/August Guide back up and running. You may find some of the conflicts resolved since mods have moved on since then Link to comment
peppergomez Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is it recommend that I run Skyrim after I complete all the pre-steps (optimizing the textures, etc) and before I begin installing mods, to make sure it's running okay? I assume I would run it via the SKSE option in Mod Organizer? Link to comment
DanielCoffey Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 You could do so but it is not mandatory. Mind you, it is often a good idea to check you have completed a key stage like the texture work properly in case it becomes harder to troubleshoot later. Link to comment
peppergomez Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 OK thanks. Do you all use the Mod Organizer to download all the mods linked to on the Skyrim Revisited page? https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited Link to comment
DanielCoffey Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes when the Nexus is behaving well but if you read the main Nexus News page you will see there are issues while they migrate to new hardware at the moment. Link to comment
peppergomez Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks. A few more questions: 1) Also, the advice for configuring NVIDIA cards on this page https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:NVIDIA_Inspector#tab=Creating_a_Skyrim_Profile is nearly usesless, since the options in the GUI are now considerably different from those in the screenshots on that page. I just went with the default options because I couldn't match up many of the settings in the screenshots with those now available in the NVIDIA Inspector. 2) In Mod Organizer, there is a Warning icon in the top right stating that there are potential problems with my setup. I have the following mods listed under my Skyrim Revisted profile: Skyrim Script Extender Dawnguard DDS optimized Dragonborn DDS optimized Hearthfire DDS Optimized Hi Res Texture Pack One DDS Optimized Hi Res Texture Pack Three DDS Optimized Hi Res Texture Pack Two DDS Optimized Vanilla DDS Optimized In the Overwrite folder I see the following ESMs: Update, Hearthfires, Dragonborn, and Dawnguard. I also see TES5Edit Backups folder Under Data I see Overwrite in red besire Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Update ESMs, and under Archives I see red exclamation warnings to the left of Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfires BSAs. "This archive will still be loaded because there is a plugin of the same name but its files will not follow installation order!" Screenshots attached to my post. The fifth one show shows the various red text information in the Data tab of Mod Organizer...what does this indicate, and how can I fix it? 3) Nevermind, answered this one 4) Just downloaded Anicent Nord Armor Fix 1st person and there is the warning exclamation icon indicating potential prblems with the setup. I chose Query Info but that didn['t retreive any information. Not sure if I should proceed with the install or not. 5) Based on this advice: Notice:You can remove the Unofficial High Resolution Patch.esp as the sole purpose of the ESP was to extract the BSA file. Should/can I delete the Unofficial High Resolution Patch from the mod list under the Skyrim Revisited profile in the left pane? Ditto for the Brawl Bugs Patch? ("You can remove the Brawl Bugs CE.esp as the sole purpose of the ESP was to extract the BSA file.") 6) Can I apply the skyrim.ini tweaks that are suggested in the current STEP install? https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.7 "Most of the following tweaks are recommended updates to existing INI entries. New entries will be explicitly indicated. " 7) I don't see advice in the Skyrim Revistited instructions for testing the game along the way when doing the install. Seems like an awful lot of mods to install before running the game. I'd like to run the game after every 5 installs or so, to check for smoothness. What is the best way to do so? Install the mods via Mod Organizer, make sure there are no conflicts...then what? I am guessing I will need to use Wrye Bash and/or BOSS, but I am not sure what I need to do with them. 8) For SKSE ELys AltF4 I see the warning in Mod Organizer: No game data on top level. What do I need to do to resolve this? Ditto the Skyrim Particle Patchj for ENB All In One. Link to comment
statmonster Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Does RRR no longer need to be patched? Or did putting in the no taverns patch for ELFX fix up all the issues? No conflicts with RND? Link to comment
julsnice Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm trying Skyrim Revisited for the first time (planning on using Iroha's guide to implement SkyRe too) A couple things: 1. There's a major error with the Legendary version in the instructions for using TES5Edit to clean the master ESMs. 1 line is missing; you forgot to say to move the cleaned ESMs into the backup folder in overwrite after you copy the backups to the Skyrim\Data folder. It stumped me for a bit but luckily I knew better before renaming the backups and overwriting the cleaned ESMs. Its a small but vital step that newbies will get stumped on and could cause CTDs if skipped. 2. I've been searching for/reading various threads regarding Skyrim Revisited of these forums but I'm confused because various times moderators say to post in the Skyrim Revisited forums for any questions, yet the only link I see to those forums are on the old Skyrim Revisited guide page, and the link points to a page saying the forum is no longer available. If that's the case then where is the best place to post if/when we run into issues? 3. Should I be using the Legendary guide or the old guide, or none at all? Please clarify, because both seem to be "works in progress" and I'm REALLLY trying to avoid wasting dozens of hours following a guide that produces a messed up, unfinished build... thnx Link to comment
peppergomez Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What's Iroha's guide? If there are other guides that will help explain how to do a Revisited install, that would be great. Thanks. Also, in 1) are you saying that the Clean The Bethesda ESMs and Optimizing The Bethesda Textures instrucitons here https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited#Final_Steps are not entirely correct? I just finished that process a few hours ago. If I need to tweak or correct something, I would love to know now. Thanks. Link to comment
julsnice Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What's Iroha's guide? If there are other guides that will help explain how to do a Revisited install' date=' that would be great. Thanks.[/quote']Sorry I meant to link to it:https://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=2252I just discovered this stuff last night so I can't vouch for it, but it seems to be an extensive followup guide to Revisited that details how to add some other mods like ASIS, SkyRe, etc. Link to comment
