| == Mod Installation ==
| |
| As with my custom STEP install, I install in category groups when possible rather than a set order with the following priority:<br />
| |
| <b>Utilities -> Bug Fixes -> World Meshes/Textures -> Effects -> Sound -> UI -> Actor Meshes/Textures -> Animations -> Equipment Meshes/Textures -> Gameplay Changes -> Content -> Compatibility Fixes</b><br />
| |
| Obviously, these categories are not always exclusive (textures included with meshes, etc). All mods are in LOOSE file format rather than BSA where available.
| |

|
| |
| == Final Steps ==
| |
| Now that mod installation is completed, we only have a few steps left to do.
| |
| === Step 1: Run BOSS ===
| |
| This will download the latest master list and order your esp/esm files.
| |
|
| |
| === Step 2: Clean ESP/ESMs with TES5Edit *IMPORTANT* ===
| |
| Follow the guide [http://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=TES5Edit_Cleaning_Guide_-_TES5Edit here]. Some of the mods in my load order contain multiple ITMs and UDRs which can be fixed using this method.
| |
|
| |
| === Step 3: Activate ESPs / Update Bashed Patch ===
| |
| Use mod manager of choice to activate ESPs. Start Wrye Bash and right click on the Bashed Patch, 0.esp and select "Rebuild Patch". Click skip for any pop ups calling to deactivate mods. Make sure only the Leveled Lists check box is checked, do NOT merge Patches or Alias Mod Names. This will merge the leveled lists from the installed mods so there are no conflicts.
| |
|
| |
| === Step 4: Create a TES5Edit Merged Patch ===
| |
| Load up your entire load order, select "Create Merged Patch" from the right click menu. Save it as "TES5Edit Merged Patch".
| |
|
| |
| === Step 5: Run BUM ===
| |
| This will allow you to set user rules for the mods not recognized by BOSS. Right now my userlist is:
| |
| ADD: Distant DetailHF.esp
| |
| AFTER: Distant Detail.esp
| |
|
| |
| ADD: Stolen Souls.esp
| |
| BOTTOM: Vanilla fixes
| |
|
| |
| ADD: TES5Edit Merged Patch.esp
| |
| BOTTOM: Post Bashed Patch
| |
|
| |
| === Step 6: Run BOSS Again ===
| |
| This will now properly load your mods for use in game.<br />

|
| |
| == Mods Under Consideration (And Why) ==
| |
| === Combination Vampire and Werewolf Mods ===
| |
| I have yet to actually play at length as a Vampire or Werewolf to determine the best mods in this category. These are my choices for now and should be fully compatible with each other. I have heard good feedback and once I have had a chance to play for myself they will likely return to the main load order.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22274 Predator Vision - Vampire and Werewolves] v0.91b ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> None.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21631 Vampire Lords and Werewolves Can Loot and Activate] v2.0 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> Use "WW and VL Activation plus Map Feature" only.
| |
|
| |
| === Vampire Gameplay Mods ===
| |
| I have yet to actually play at length as a Vampire to determine the best mods in this category. These are my choices for now and should be fully compatible with each other. I have heard good feedback and once I have had a chance to play for myself they will likely return to the main load order.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21689 Bat Travel Vampire Power] v2.0a ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> None.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9717 Better Vampires] v5.7 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> None.
| |
|
| |
| === Werewolf Gameplay Mods ===
| |
| I have yet to actually play at length as a Werewolf to determine the best mods in this category. These are my choices for now and should be fully compatible with each other. I have heard good feedback and once I have had a chance to play for myself they will likely return to the main load order. Tales of Lycanthropy and Multiple Lycanthropy Regift remain in the main load order as ToL is essential and MLR has to be in place before completing companions quest to work properly.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21717 Scary Vampire Lord and Werewolf] v1.0 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> Use "Scary Werewolf - No Explosion" only.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22134 Werewolf Perks Expanded - Dawnguard] v1.51 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> None.
| |
|
| |
| === Magic Mods ===
| |
| Again, not enough playtime with these mods yet to "certify" them but feedback has been positive.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16225 Apocalypse Spell Package] v2.04 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> None.
| |
|
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11139 Empowered Magic] v3.8 ====
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> Small Bug: Summon spells are permanent but when going indoors the pet is not dispelled (vanilla problem). Apocalypse Spell Package includes a "Unsummon" spell that helps with this issue.
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17353 The Revenge of Colette - Powers and Spells For The Discerning Adventurer] v4.1 ====
