SRLE + REGS + Requiem?

[MitchellKrever]

I just finished modding and testing Skyrim Extended + Requeim and it is alot of fun but I want to go a step further and I was hoping if anyone knows if it is possible to have:

 

Skyrim Revisted Legendary Edition    - https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited_-_Legendary_Edition

 + A Real Explorer's Guide to Skyrim - https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Explorers_Guide

 + Requiem                                     - https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Requiem

 + Immersive Weapons                    -  https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27644/?

 

I was wondering what everyone thinks of this? Is there a better alternative? Has anyone been successful in installing these together? What other mods would go well with this setup? 

 

Thanks

Seeing how I'm running Legendary, REGS and Requiem, the answer is likely yes. 

 

Mind you I am at about 230 plug ins, and might need to merge a few, but that'll happen when it needs to.

[MitchellKrever]

Ah great that is awesome news! I'm guessing that you also have other plugins/mods as well? Do you know any good ones that go really well with this setup?

I ALWAYS run Book Covers Skyrim. Just adds so much it's not funny.

I can confirm that these packs work together well. A compatibility patch loaded after the SR:LE CR patch is a useful thing to build as well, just to make sure all key stats and or mods are running as they are supposed to.

Is there anyone who has a neat guide, tips and/or tricks to put this stuff all together?

 

I really liked the details that the SR:LE guide has given me. REGS has a similarly detailed guide as well, which helps a lot (especially since it has notes for SR:LE compatibility). However, when it comes to installing Requiem I get really confused and uncomfortable! This is actually the reason why I never finished a fully modded version of Skyrim to my liking.

 

The problem with Requiem is that I get really uncomfortable when it comes to installing these mods. The plugins aren't recognized by BOSS and there are so many patches that I need to install, that I get confused about which ones I actually need for my setup! I know there is a Requiem Pack by Smile44 - and no offense to you - but I find that it is lacking the details that I need, to be able to comfortably install the mods. I know that it is incomplete, but missing information such as plugin load order (such as custom BUM rules) really make me uncomfortable in installing the mods. Furthermore I get confused when it comes to batch patches and the conflicting patches, if that is entirely left up to myself then I feel really insecure about doing so.I'm still waiting for a fully detailed Requiem installation pack that covers all those details, because I am too afraid to do everything by my own guess.

 

Last time I tried to install all this has been a while though so I may be a little bit inaccurate on this now.

 

Edit: I just noticed after re-checking Smile44's Requiem pack, that he added some BUM rules. So I might have to try it again later but I'm pretty sure that I can find something along the way that will make me insecure about the final setup.

@Faylon,

 

You just need to take a leap of faith :-)   It's not easy that's for certain.  I'm in the middle of a REQ build myself customizing STEP and SR to my own liking.  Haven't hit REGS yet but will.  

 

Try to stick with the mods Azirok has patches for.  Read SMILE's great REQ Pack thread - in there are load orders from smart people who have things working correctly.  Also go to Azirok's patch central.  He has a load order in there himself.   .  You'll then get a feel for where the patches should be loaded.  Learn BUM if you don't know it - that's the key to having the plug-ins slotted correctly

 

I'm almost to the point of having all my mods in place - next step will be learning TES5edit and what I should be doing with the bashed patch: which boxes I should be checking, level list or no level list ?  Talk about confusing.  But one step at a time.  

 

In a perfect world SR would have a REQ overhaul and all we'd have to do is follow instructions.  That's not the case however so we have no choice but to roll up our sleeves :-)  

[Smile44]

Hi, I've tried to keep the instructions on the guide as simple and clear as possible but the instructions do assume a complete working build for either STEP or SR:LE both of which would get you using all the main tools, especially SR:LE. With that knowledge the Requiem Install is more straight forward. That said it will at some point get a revamp as "Requiem for the Indifferent" 1.8.1.1 is out and needs at least a Dragonborn patch before it will be compatible with wither STEP or SR:LE. Some of the existing patches will work but the community is trying to get more done with Azirok temporarily out of the picture due to work RL stuff.

 

But when it is sorted I will update the guide. Requiem now has a skyproc patcher which mainly makes NPCs more compatible, but there are many more possibilities with it so looking forward to that.

 

Good luck with your builds,

I'll take this moment to Hijack this thread and say DSR now adds the appropriate Requiem keywords to allow it to function with Requiem 1.8+ combat equip restriction functionality.

[Smile44]

Yup as I was implying it is all coming together, they were talking about that over at the Requiem page and site, DSR has become such a must have mod (much kudos). Just need a few more links in the chain. Once that happens I will set up STEP Core again and test it there. SR will probably take a little longer due to more compatibility issues to sort potentially. Still Requiem seems to be edging more firmly towards compatibility, always was more compatible than a full SkyRe install due to the way they changed weapon and armor stats. It all looks rather interesting especially the amount of control you have through the MCM.

 

[Faylon]

Oh don't get me wrong, I have learned to work with tools such as BUM. Neovalen has put up some really good instructions on how to work with these tools. So I can't say that's the problem. The problem lays partly with myself as well though, I'm a perfectionist and I probably score pretty high on the OCD test as well. I always want things to be perfect (hence SR:LE is such a good guide for me, since it's just perfect), but I probably have to accept the fact that that is most likely impossible when it comes to Skyrim modding (especially when you're using large overhaul mods).

 

Last time I had a go at it I saw that the most recent update of Requiem didn't have a patch for Dragonborn yet. And as I just read these comments here, I suspect that it's still the same. So partly, I am just waiting for things to come together before I have a go at it: Some mods aren't finished yet, SR:LE wasn't finished yet either, Smile44's Requiem Pack was still a work in progress as well.. Therefore, I decided to wait for a few months longer and try again later. Assuming that no mods are taking down, I can still mod Skyrim whenever I want at a later stage. Plus, I'm also interesting what is coming out of STEP 3.0.

 

I was also thinking of using the following pack set-up instead, but I wasn't sure yet:- SR:LE- REGS- Modular Morrowloot Overhaul

The WIP tag on the pack has been there from the start, need to get that changed as it works fine as is, but only for Requiem 1.7.3 not the new one. SR:LE is also fine to use, though more mods will be added this may take a really long time so no point waiting, as updates and new additions are fully tested and integrated via the CR patch.

 

The other pack set up will also work but you will need to merge many mods, as both REGS and Morrowloot packs potentially add more plugins than SR:LE does on it's own.
