pack A Real Explorer's Guide to Skyrim

@ Noobzor & Red. Ok! I'm about to enhance my normal setup (IP-agro, OBIS, SIC & DD) with DM, ASIS, HLE, SkyTEST and Duel. Better hold on tight I think I'm in for a hell of a ride!

 

I'll leave Skytweak and DCO for another day. The heart can only take so much. I really appreciate your guidance.

 

Noobzor, you mentioned MM. I don't know that one?

You might consider the SIC / HLE integrated package, should give you some unique bosses within SIC's spawn framework.

You might also consider Automatic Variants with the SIC / SkyTEST wildlife integration, I'm enjoying that quite a bit. By limiting my AV packs to a reasonable level (just Bellyache's & StarX's right now) I'm not noticing a performance or stability hit.

I prefer ACE / Deadly Combat to Duel, but otherwise I'm picking up what you're putting down.

I do use the SIC version of HLE, I just failed to mention it.  I also use ACE with Duel.  Deadly Combat is good, but a little too fast paced for me...Duel is more my speed. :)  I was also using AV until just recently, and I cut it for performance gains, but I might add it back in...haven't decided yet. 

 

Hey guys

 

Loot is reporting a deleted Navmesh for Thedomain.esp which is provided by REGS patches...

 

Are we okay or is there a problem?

 

Thanks!

This is fine.  This should be corrected in the REGS patch version, but because it is the same filename, LOOT is thinking it is the original version.

MM is Skyrim Monster Mod.  I am kind of on the fence on this one...I keep adding it and removing it.  The problem is that the full version has some monsters that aren't quite lore friendly.  There is a lore-friendly version that removes some of those, but the esp for the lore friendly version is a mess and has all kinds of unresolved references in the level lists which causes them to not merge correctly in either the TES5Edit merge patch or the Bashed patch.  Even the latest update to the lore friendly version didn't fix it.  Anyway, right now I am using the full, non-lore-friendly version to see how it goes...I might cut it, though, if it is too ridiculous.

Thanks for sharing. Can you share list of esp(s) in your merged esp(s)? Thanks again

Sure.  I actually keep a record of all these, so that I can remember...well, most of them.  Here is my most recent list.  It should be pretty much up-to-date:

MM is Skyrim Monster Mod.

Thanks I'll keep that one in mind. I think I'm in for a big shock as it is. Thank goodness for UFO! Although I'll probably have to set any follower to essential. Normally I'm ok to let them die - quite realistic. But since installing DD any sign of a dragon was an instant death sentence for a follower. Ha ha - can't wait!

This new ship was released on the Nexus and it sounds pretty awesome. Anyway you could add it to REGS and maybe make a compatibility patch for it?

Hey, nice pick-up. This looks quite good.

[redirishlord]

Has the Better Falskaar and Wyrmstooth Map been considered for REGS? Seems like it would fit right in.

You can insall that without any issues whatsoever. There's another mod that adds clouds to falskaar map.

Excellent, I just did :-)

[Muladhara86]

Wow,  I wish I had found out about REGS earlier; nothing like doing blindly what others have already got down to a science.

 

I've searched the thread and seen no mention of Wheeze's Dungeon Pack, Explorer Dungeon Pack, or Solstheim - The Lost Levels.  Have these ever received consideration?  Are they outside the scope of REGS?

 

In fact, I rarely see mention of these packs; is there there some sort of issue with them which people avoid them for?

 

Also, has The Evil Mansion received any consideration?  I haven't been able to play much modded Skyrim (I'm far from a stable game, I think), but I have managed to play around with this and it is fantastic.

[redirishlord]

Thanks for the links. I'm excited to try the Solsteim Lost Levels (Bloodmoon FTW), The Evil Mansion sounds interesting, but it may conflict with ETaC's Morthal (but that's modular).

[Teabag86]

Thanks for the links. I hadn't heard of them before and the two dungeon packs and Solstheim dungeons look quite good. To answer your question, the comments about the rogue scripts in the Wheezes dungeon and CTD's in the Explorer Dungeon make me think twice before downloading. I can't speak for everyone though. So I'll wait patiently for redirishlord to test and report back :)

[redirishlord]

Whoa Tea-mo-sabe, I grabbed the Solsteim extra levels, but that's as far as I went. The forum comments on the two dungeon packs gave me pause as well, and I gotta see me some ETaC Morthal wall before I consider dropping a house into my swamp.

[Teabag86]

I'll let you know how the Morthal walls look, promise. Thanks for volunteering!!!! Tea-mo-sabe ROFL!!! Love it.

@ CJ3211 or anyone in the know, I tore some holes in my Whiterun, specifically the farms to the south. It may be because I merged the REGS CRF patch, I think its to far west for the Apple Garden but I merged that too. Any thoughts on what would leave me without some triangular patches in those fields, it was amusing kiting a young tundra troll into one but I think I've lost farmers and / or companions when I wasn't looking.
