ACCEPTED Embers HD (by mindflux)

[DoubleYou]

Thanks!

 

That's night and day in those shots, considering I can't even tell what the hell the first one is. If I would have ran across that in-game I would have been scratching my head and asking questions (have yet to play any of Dragonborn).

I finally finished the Dragonborn questline for the first time just recently. I was actually a little disappointed. I thought the Dawnguard questline was much better, ironically. I'm surprised that Dawnguard gets such a bad rap in comparison.

 

I agree that the shots look promising. Can't say I remember even seeing those "lava craters."

I agree that the Dawnguard questline is much more fleshed out than the Dragonborn questline, but I've never really been a fan of Apocrypha. That realm seems as if it was copied and pasted from some other game.

 

I doubt very many people have paid much attention to the lava craters in the game because they seem to blend in to the dirt during the day and I think the eye tends to gravitate towards the far more visible heartstone that's usually next to it.

Well, from the compares, I'm all for including the new addon.

[Nebulous112]

Agreed.

[Kelmych]

Yes, it looks a lot more like it should

[Octopuss]

Does anyone know whether I still need the Ultimate HD fire effects patch if I load this mod after the other?

[Nebulous112]

Yes, you still need it.

[Nebulous112]

More updates yesterday and today for the Forges Add-On, the Lava Crater Add-On, and the Ultimate HD Fire Effects Compatibility Patch.

 

The description for the Forges Add-On states that the Skyforge mesh has been fixed, so I think it should be OK to not hide the file anymore.

[TechAngel85]

I agree but need to verify in-game

A noux addon to Ember HD mod

 

 

Embers HD Fireplaces Add-On is now available with following features:

- Adds Embers HD to all firepits and fireplaces in various inns around Tamriel.
- Adds Embers HD to campfires, both lit and unlit.
- Replaces logs with logs that look visually like they're burning, and in case of unlit campfires, burnt.
- Adds small flying sparks to certain fireplaces.
 

as i test actually vivid weather, i'll have to choose because some nif files are in conflict.

[TechAngel85]

You'll want Vivid to win the smokes and Embers HD to win most the other conflicts.

 

It's far better than what STEP is using now. I think all these addons should be included in the next release of the Guide.

[Mandalay]

Personnaly my installation was made from step guide with the weather pack added (COT 5 etc...) and vividian ENB

 

i deleted 7 different mods to replace it by Vivid weather and enb, updated a few mods (this one of course) and i won't go back. I like really Vivid. easier.

 

i currently just have desactivated weather a few hours to check the new addon for ember HD without the conflict.

 

EDIT : You are right for who must win

Should I install the Fireplaces Add-on? It is offered in the new All-in-One package.

[TechAngel85]

I did. They look good.

[Sakr3d]

There's now an esp as well as many other options with this mod. Instructions will need some updating. Then again, i don't think the new options have been vetted for inclusion in STEP.
