User:Paul666root/Skyrim YASHed/Finish Page
FORUMS: Visit Skyrim All YASH'd Up forums click Here
On this page we do our finishing patching and scripts. Also we will organise our mods.
Sort Your Load Order
For the purposes of this guide we will not be using LOOT. Sorting the load order with LOOT is not possible since it will not sort in the same way for every user and thus compatibility issues may arrise using the patches in the guide.
However we have a simple solution, don't worry you dont have to manually sort all the esps. Download manually this archive: Load Order from MISCELLANEOUS section in the Patch Central then follow these steps:
# Close Mod Organizer # Extract the archive # Go to [Mod Organizer Path]\profiles\Skyrim Modded (this should be your Profile created in Mod Organizer in the beginning of this guide) # Backup your loadorder.txt from there first so you can always revert to your initial Load Order # Copy the loadorder.txt from the archive and Overwrite into the Skyrim Modded folder # Open Mod Organizer.
Now you should notice that all esps are ordered with Dual Sheath Redux.esp being last. If you have installed any other mods that were not in the guide all those esps will be after Dual Sheath Redux.esp deactivated. This is a good way to also check if you have different esps or if you made mistakes in the installation process.
TIP: After you copied the loadorder.txt in the profiles folder back it up by pressing the save icon in the top right corner of the right pane as in the picture below.

WARNING
This template is deprecated. Please revise markup to use Template:GallerySimple instead.Load Order Backup
When you update merges or add mods to your load order you can restore the order by pressing the yellow curved arrow near the save icon and choose the backup from the window that appears. This is a easy way to restore the order of your plugins without having them manually moved again.
Merge Plugins - Skyrim YASHed Profile
In this section we will be creating a new profile in Merge Plugins so we can create new merged mods separate from other profiles you might have.
- Open Merge Plugins.
- Click the big plus symbol <Create New Profile>.
- Name the new profile Skyrim YASHed
- Path: This is where TESV.exe is on your system.
- Once loaded you will be asked to setup the new profile... If not click the Gear Icon in the tool bar at the top.
- Setup as the following instructions which can be found HERE.
This section will define merges to be completed using Merge Plugins Standalone. These merges reduce the final plugin count and thus allow room for further expansion. A guide to setup and use this tool for the purposes of this guide can be found Here. Once Merged the mods can be deactivated in Mod Organizer.

TIPS
Since this guide is modular this means it includes A LOT of esps. So merging these in Merge Plugins it's hard because you have to click every esp one at a time... ofcourse this you do if you don't know there is a HIDDEN FEATURE in Merge Plugins that, after you shift select all the esps you want to load in MP, lets you check ALL OF THEM at once by just pressing SPACE.

Fores New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS
Fores New Idles in Skyrim, hereby referenced as FNIS is designed to allow new skeleton and animation designs not possible with the default Skyrim engine such as new animations, gender specific animations, poses, etc. This involves the use of an external patcher GenerateFNIS_for_Users.exe which will create specialized .hkx files to match the current skeleton and animation configuration. Perform the following (and again every time animation mods are changed):
Start Mod Organizer. Select FNIS in the executable selection box and click [Run]. The FNIS main interface should appear, if it does not, review the installation section for FNIS. In the Available Patches at the bottom of the window, check the box adjacent to "SKELETON Arm Fix", "Gender Specific Animations" and "tktk1's TK Dodge" Click the [Update FNIS Behavior] button and wait for a message to appear in the window stating "X animations for Y mods successfully included.". Click [Exit]
Mod Organizer has automatically placed the generated files into the <Mod Organizer Path>/overwrite folder for inclusion in the game. No further action is required. For reference, the files generated are:
- meshes folder containing new hkx behavior files.
- scripts folder containing 2 compiled scripts for version tracking.
- tools folder containing logs.
Dual Sheath Redux
Add the program to Mod Organizer. First make sure you have installed the latest Java -> here
To add it go to the Data tab in the right pane of the Mod Organizer and scroll down the file tree until you see SkyProc Patchers. Expand SkyProc Patchers, then also expand Dual Sheath Redux Patch. Right-click on "Dual Sheath Redux Patch.jar" and click Add as Executable. The default name should be fine. Click [OK]. Now you will see that DSR has been added to the program list with all the right parameters.
Run this patcher from the Mod Organizer top right dropdown menu. Dual Sheath Redux is a mod designed to allow left handed weapons to be displayed when sheathed and shields/staves to be stored on back.
In Settings > Other Settings, select the following: Left Biped Slot: 55 Right Biped Slot: 47
For reference, the files generated by this mod are:
- Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp
- Entire SkyProc Patchers/Dual Sheath Redux folder containing logs/configuration files.
Wrye Bash
Wrye Bash is a tool that can be used to install/manage mods but more importantly it has tools to merge leveled lists and can even merge entire mods together into a "Bashed Patch". Perform the following (and again every time mods change with an esp):
Start Mod Organizer. Select Wrye Bash in the executable selection box and click [Run]. The Wrye Bash main interface should appear. Scroll down the mod list and right-click Bashed Patch, 0.esp and select Rebuild Patch. A popup asking to deactivate mods prior to patching may appear. If a mod is marked NoMerge, simply uncheck the box next to it then click [Ok]. This will deactivate the mod files not marked "NoMerge" and they will be merged into the bashed patch. Check only "Merge Patches", "Import Names", "Import Stats", "Tweak Settings", and "Leveled Lists" in the left pane. Click on "Import Names" in the left pane. Uncheck Skyrim.esm. Click on "Tweak Settings" in the left pane. Right-click "Crime: Alarm Distance" and select "1000". Right-click "Timescale" and select "10". Check the box next to both "Crime: Alarm Distance" and "Timescale" to apply them. Click on "Leveled Lists" in the left pane. Click [Build Patch] at the bottom of the window. A dialogue asking to activate it may appear, click [Yes]. Exit Wrye Bash by clicking the [X] in the top right corner.
The Bashed Patch, 0.esp is automatically moved to the Mod Organizer/Overwrite directory for inclusion in the game. You will also notice that some of the esps were auto-disabled in the right pane of Mod Organizer. Those plugins were merged into the bashed patch so they don't need to be enabled again.
Now FNIS, Dual Sheath Redux and Wrye Bash output files now can be found in overwrite folder in Mod Organizer. Now create from overwrite a mod called Skyrim YASHed Profile, place it last in left pane and activate it.
ReLinker
- Close Mod Organizer and Run ReLinker
- First time you have to set Mod Organizer's root path into ReLinker
- Second you have to set Mod Organizer's mods folder path.
- Once ReLinker completes place ReLinker Output folder that appears last in MO right before DynDOLOD - TexGen Output folder then Activate it.
DynDOLOD - Dynamic Distant LOD Generation
Running DynDOLOD generation is a two step process. The first executable, TexGen.exe, will generate object LOD textures from the currently installed object textures. This will only need to be executed again if object textures are changed. Perform the following to execute TexGen.exe:
Add TexGen.exe located in the standalone DynDOLOD install directory as an executable in Mod Organizer. Run TexGen using Mod Organizer. An appropriate output folder should already be pre-filled by the tool, make a note of the location then click [Ok]. Once the execution has completed, select [Exit] to close the window and then delete the DynDOLOD-temp folder inside of <Mod Organizer Path>/overwrite. Navigate to the TexGen output directory and copy the contents as a new folder named DynDOLOD - TexGen Output in the <Mod Organizer>/mods folder and activate it. It should be placed at the bottom of the left pane.
The second executable, DynDOLOD.exe, will generate data files and the DynDOLOD esp to dynamically handle all the world objects found in the current load order. Perform the following to execute DynDOLOD.exe:
Add DynDOLOD.exe located in the standalone DynDOLOD install directory as an executable in Mod Organizer. Run DynDOLOD using Mod Organizer. An appropriate output folder should already be pre-filled by the tool, make a note of the location then click [Advanced >>>]. In the top left selection box, check all of the boxes by right-clicking and then clicking "Select All". Click the [High] preset button if you have a high end PC, but I would recommend selecting [Medium] preset for this guide. Below the preset buttons, check the boxes marked "Candles" and "FXGlow". In the options panel, tick the "Windows", "High", and "Fake lights in child worlds" check boxes. Click [OK], this will begin the LOD generation process (can take up to 30 minutes). Once the execution has completed, select [Save & Exit] to close the window then click [OK] on the following window to close the program. Navigate to the DynDOLOD output directory and copy the contents as a new folder named DynDOLOD - Worlds Output in the <Mod Organizer>/mods folder and activate it. It should be placed at the bottom of the left pane below the TexGen Output folder.
