Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition

[Natstar]

So still need to fiddle a bit - FNIS - PCEA and Follower Kaidan are not working for some reason. but pushed past those issues to actually see some of the game, and OH WOW!!!!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS FREAKING AMAZEBALLS!!!!!         

So totally worth the stress, tears, sleeplessness and determination.

Needless to say I need to go to bed.
Ill figure the details out tomorrow...

Question, could I still use the NPC Retexture Merged esp with a CBBE body? I'm currently in the process of replacing everything UNP from this guide with CBBE

Hey guys,

 

If you know of any good shadow tweaks that can be done in ini files to improve visuals, please let me know. I am playing at iShadowMapResolution=2048

 

Thanks

I had a glorious two days to play the game finally, with all my add-ons and changes and tweaks and it's been glorious. Course starting tomorrow I have to be out for the country for a week without my gaming laptop...by the time I get back the new LOTD will probably have dropped and it'll be New Char-itis for me again, lol.

If you use the search function and search this topic for 'CBBE' you'll see others have asked this question before and gotten feedback. Short answer: yes.

I did search, and did find someone else asking that same question, but he didn't get an answer.

Sorry for some reason my brain read Bodyslide and not 'CBBE'. Packing fried me a bit. 

 

Looking at the install options selected in the original downloads looks like the retexture merge uses UNP for Ordinary Women and all the Bijin Mods, so yes you'd probably have an issue with a simple swap.

Anyone happen to get a crash approaching Riverwood? Whenever I get close to Riverwood I crash to desktop. I can alternate start inside Sleeping Giant Inn but when  I leave the inn, crash. Maybe I missed a small step or something?

You'd have to go through all the NPC changes for female NPC's (ie the Bijin mods, Seranaholic, Ordinary Women, etc) and reinstall all of them with CBBE for consistency. You'll also need to change the install of any armour mods to use CBBE meshes as well. If you don't do that, your armoured/clothed NPC's will look UNP when clothed or armoured and CBBE otherwise. Can be a little off putting. :D The provided patch MIGHT need a little tweaking on that basis.

 

Short answer is yes, you can do this, but you may have to look at the provided patch and make some changes. If that's going to be a bit difficult for you, let me know, cause I'm currently reinstalling the guide. I can toss CBBE into my test profile and see what needs to be changed. If I can, I might roll up a patch in case people want to use CBBE. Won't be something I can do right away, though.

 

Failing that, roll your own NPC retext patch. It's essentially a case of choosing which version of overhaul you want to see and making it part of the patch. Conflict Resolution isn't that hard in general if you take your time and check your work.

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=3    should be used if your getting shadow stripping like this https://i.imgur.com/sddjyMc.jpg

 

set to 1 if using enb.

 

check out https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:SkyrimPrefs_INI/Display 

as it has good info on settings

Is it just from sleeping giant or walking from Helgen as well?

Quick conflict resolution question. I'm one of those Windows 10 people who can't get Wyre Bash to run even using the MO2 test builds from discord or the WIP wyre bash versions so I've been using Mator Smash instead, which honestly I prefer. I went through my smash patch to check it by hand and outside of some records from NPC retexture not forwarding the only other issue that came up was with the bandit leveled lists between OBIS and Sic High Level Enemies. I'm assuming OBIS should win the conflict right?

I'd go with OBIS on that, yeah. Will take a peek at Smash when I get back to that part.

Getting same riverwood crash issue - but I suspect that for me it is because I also added JK's Riverwood and T'Skyrim - its not going to be fun removiing the mods to test and fix but that is my punishment for veering away from guide as a noob... If one does know how to get it working with these and not having it crash I would love the assist. I am extremely reluctant to drop them from my load order completely.. 

 

If there is blackhead issues - just confirming it is because load order needs to be corrected yes? 

Brynjolf is sadly affected by this and unsure how he is affected.. 

 

And also, some of my trees are horrible 2d cardboard monstrosities.. defs not going to be a pleasant day puzzling and correcting these issues 

 

Lastly, I know it was previously mentioned - didnt see any comment on a fix about the Guild master start for LotD with all the invisible walls. Just confirming as well the test facility for the CLARALUX is where I can make indoors brighter Yes?

 

[uncleseano]

I'm using JKs Skyrim. No CTDs here. Better look elsewhere in your load order

hey, guys, I am back after the oh so joyous trip to see my mum and dad and catching up on a few things:

 

for starters, thanks for letting me know that Simple Face to Face Conversation was pulled bugger but I do have a replacement in mind

A Closer Look - Simple Smooth Hotkey Zoom - Special Edition - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14963

 

I also noticed that user luxor8071 has released few new texture mods that caught my eye and his stuff is always top quality:

 

Fort Dawnguard HD - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16061

luxor's Weathered HD Road Signs - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16151

Whiterun HD - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16176

 

I noticed the Eyes of Beauty has been ported to SSE but I think I'll stick in Improved eyes now.

 

I will be considering Morrowloot.
