Lexy or others,

 

I didnt download a small handful of some of the listed items, and a few things I swapped out for preference but got what i could to line up so the end result is right around the count your guide 100% would have had.

When you say "listed modsitems", to what are you referring?

 

I should have said "listed items" to echo what Reidlos posted.

I think he is talking about the mods which are in the guide.

I am sure that Reidlos was referring to the items (mods) in Lexy's Guide, BuddyKidd.  What I was wondering was: which items did he not install, and which ones did he swap out?  I like to understand different points of view about a subject (this Build) and I'm curious about the changes he made.

Hi lovely skyrim modders!

As I've decided to follow this magnificent guide to the letter, please enlighten me this two concern (question):

1. the estimated disc space required? 

2. Is there a way to "lock down" the guide (and all subsidiary pages) is its current state? I can only do modding on spare time and afaik, this one keeps evolving. It would be wonderful if I can safely do this in a longer time span.

 

Thanks in advanced!

I'm not at my main computer right now, but the laptop build of this guide I'm looking at is built with Wrye Bash and takes about 60Gb for installed mods (wrye bash works with compressed archives, while MO's mods are folders, so, consider about 80-90Gb and add another 15Gb for the main game) and about 100Gb in downloaded mods, that I keep in a separate drive. I do include a lot of extra quest mods related to the Dragonborn Museum that may account for some 10Gb of drive space.

 

You can keep following a specific older version if you select the "Page Tools" tab at the top right of the main page, then "History". You'll be shown a list of links to all the previous versions, just pick the one you want to use. Keep in mind that you'll need to download the version of conflict resolution files available under "old files" that matches the one called for in the older version of the guide that you're following. Also keep in mind that it's not just this guide but SSE that's evolving fast - mods and patches may also have been updated and not be entirely compatible with the older conflict resolution.

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep these tips in mind. (and probably go get extra storage hehe)

Awesome news, Kneph13!

Cool!

That Better Dynamic Snow SE update.....*shudder*, ya'll know what I mean.

[DarkladyLexy]

hey guys back in the sunny UK (and the Sun is actually shining) after our romantic weekend away we're staying Darth's parents tonight. I'll look at new stuff this week cos of course ICOW dropped while I was away (typical) so I might put off adding Morrowloot for a little longer but not too long .

[minos55]

Just a question, I seen this mod for skyrim and it is very good to add into this guid in my opinion, it can get converted, and as far i noticed no changes that would cause troubles to this guid would just add immersion to stealing i think.

WB Lexy!  Hope you all had a wonderful time.  Bells1453 and SirJesto also put this out:  Immersive Weapons Patches.

[dcads]

     This new version fixed all of my soft lock, white screen, and npc enchant fix issues!  I can now use zEdit!   *and there was much rejoicing*

Bloomin' opposite for me.  020 is perfect. 040 is a white screen 

[DarkladyLexy]

Most Immersive Weapons Conflcits are dealt with by the CR's at the moment.

Lexy or others,

 

Giving you guide a go, just finished merging, but damn so many plugins lol  I thought i was mod crazy before, but never gotten this close to a mod limit.

 

I didnt download a small handful of some of the listed items, and a few things I swapped out for preference but got what i could to line up so the end result is right around the count your guide 100% would have had.

 

My question is...  Is there anything NOT discussed in the merge section that still could be merged?  Some Id like too, sadly cant be done safely (like all arthmoons town changes) but at a glace i can see some maybes but wanted to first get any ideas from the author and the users.

Well, all the mods that "merge" into the Bash Patch coiuld in theroy be done by Merge Plugins (I do know some users have done this) it will drop your overall mod count to 190ish. I have been meaning to look into this sort of merge myslef especially now SMASH is "Officially" out.
