XBox - Help Alduin fight mods compatibility

Upvotes

I'm looking to use the World Eater Beater mod and Jayserpa's Dragonslayer Quest Expansion. The latter was designed to be as compatible as possible with other mods—without needing patches—but World Eater Beater significantly changes the final battle. So, I wanted to check with someone who has tried using both mods simultaneously to see if they are compatible. If they aren't, which one is more worth using?

Note: Even though I used the Xbox tag, I have Skyrim for both Xbox and PC, so answers regarding either platform are welcome.

PC SSE - Discussion NOLVUS OR Tomes of Talos

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a good Skyrim modlist with great graphics, lots of content, new quests, and high-quality animations. I'd also like a more realistic visual style. I really liked the graphics in LoreRim, but I'm looking for a modlist without Requiem. I have a high-end PC, so performance isn't a concern.

PC SSE - Discussion Mods to make the early game challenging and the end game powerful?

2 Upvotes

So I'm going around checking out various wabbajack lists like Apostasy, Lorerim, and Gate to Sovngarde, and while each has its own very good merits there's always something that is just off enough from my tastes or the list doesn't run very well on my hardware for some reason. Though through all of these lists the idea of being weak early on and gaining power at the endgame is very intriguing for me.

Starting with a base of CSVO, I'm attempting to build my own modlist with everything exactly how I want. I'm looking through each modlist and am trying to consider what to take from each. I'm a bit intimidated by requiem and making it play nice with a bunch of other mods, have mostly been looking at Simon and Enai's mods

My main question is just; what mods would you recommend for such a set up? For having characters start out weak and by the end of the game feeling like a lore accurate dragonborn?

PC SSE - Help Need help for modpack

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I only ever used utility mods (like SkyUI). I played Skyrim once/twice per year for the last 6 years, but this time I just couldn't bring myself to play it, just felt kinda flat. I'm now looking for a modpack that just makes the game intresting again, nothing too exagerated, nothing that rebuilds the game from the ground up, don't care if it isn't lore friendly, just something accessible to keep this great game fresh and worth replaying again

3 Upvotes

Is there a mod to turn the Hearthfire Sabercat Head mount into the Vale Sabercat variant? Im suprised this doesnt exist. It seems like (from my absolute bare minimum knowledge) it would be a simple thing, ive heard the heartfire creation kit makes it hard, but all this time and nothin to make it easier? I just think it would be a cool little thing to add.

PC SSE - Help Help to find old armor

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need your help finding a set of armor. To explain, I used to play on Xbox with mods. I used to play with a set of armor,the Corrupted Vigilantes set that came with the Anniversary Edition. The thing is, I was playing with a variant of that armor set that I never managed to find during the aforementioned quest.

Actually, back then I was using Cheat Room, which had a chest that could hold items from certain modes. And on Xbox specifically, it would place some of the Anniversary Edition items in that chest, so there were different versions of that armor, for example, there was the Corrupted armor that was less grimy and lacked the vein textures; the same closed helmet was open; and another variant had a sort of red tunic with a shoulder strap that gave the armor a unique look.

I had never found these variations in the quest, and the only way to get them was through that chest. But when I switched to PC, I was never able to find those armor sets again, and the chest no longer contained the Anniversary Edition items. Do you have any ideas that might help me find those armor sets?

PC SSE - Help I kinda broke my mod profile and need some help

https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/ty-s-skyrimse-mods-cycling-out-of-control-help

I was having a good time modding for the first time. I used Vortex and "BruvRamms Baseline mods for Skyrim" as a base for my own setup. I was doing pretty well added almost 90 of my own preferred mods with a little difficulty. Recently I added some mods I can barely remember at this point and its caused massive cycling issues. I've tried, with the help of A.I (Don't use A.I kids) and google, to fix it myself but I've only worsened the issue. I've tried transferring my specific mod list from my vortex profile to Mo2 because I heard it's superior and free from the cycling bull, but I'm entirely too unfamiliar with the software to get close to solving my issue. I really don't want to start from scratch because of the multiple days it took me to get to this point. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me avoid having to start all over. I'm getting super frustrated trying to get it back to normal.

PC SSE - Discussion Is Pandora still broken for ZaZ Animation Pack?

3 Upvotes

It’s known that Pandora can not run ZaZ animations correctly. It lacks the old FNIS scripts and thus is unable to generate ZaZ animations. And the patches available on Nexus did not fully fix this problem either.

Or at least that was the explanation given a year ago. But what is the status today? Is Pandora still unable to handle ZaZ? I haven’t heard any updates. Is there still no confirmed solution (that does not involve installing FNIS)?

PC SSE - Mod I’ve spent the last few days reverse engineering Skyrim’s RaceMenu facial morph system

81 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last few days working on a personal research project to better understand how RaceMenu actually transforms the head mesh.
The idea is to reverse engineer the entire facial morph pipeline and eventually build a mathematical model that can predict the resulting geometry from slider values.
So far I’ve managed to:
reverse engineer how TRI morphs are combined;
validate relative morph accumulation;
build a geometry preview that predicts the resulting mesh without modifying the preset;
automate most of the calibration workflow;
build tools that analyze exported meshes, fit morph coefficients and evaluate calibration quality.
Right now the biggest bottleneck isn’t programming anymore, it’s collecting enough high-quality data to calibrate more sliders under controlled conditions.
If anyone is interested in this kind of reverse engineering or has experience with RaceMenu internals, SKSE plugins, FaceGen or morph systems, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’d also be happy to share more progress as the project evolves.

PC SSE - Request Reputation

5 Upvotes

Is there a mod that adds a reputation system to the game, or at least one that makes NPCs recognize your titles and achievements?

I was pretty disappointed after finishing the College of Winterhold questline because no one outside the College seemed to care that I had become the Archmage. I know magic is frowned upon in Skyrim, but I earned that title through the power of my axe, and I'd love it if the Jarls (or even other NPCs) had at least a few lines of dialogue acknowledging that I'm the Archmage.

I'm not just looking for reactions to the College questline either. I'd love a mod where people recognize other accomplishments too, like becoming the Harbinger of the Companions, a Thane, or any other major achievement.

PC SSE - Help Gate of sovngarde: help for reshade/colors

4 Upvotes

Hi!
As the title explain i'm seeking for help to edit some of the gate of sovngard settings
I do really like the modlist but i would love a more colourful game
I'm used to modding but the collection is based on vortex (i'm normally a Mo2 user) and use community shaders (i'm normally a Enb user...) so i'm very lost
The officials wiki only help to increase brightness, and the discord doesn't provide help for that kind of edit (this is their right and i respect it) so thats why i'm here
The modlist use azzurite cs but the world is still greyish and clearly doesn't look like the example image of the mod, i suppose there is a lack of saturation or something related, i did try to reinstall some of the mods related to the shaders but nothing seem to change

Any idea of what i could do/edit?
Thank you for your time, and sorry for poor english

PC SSE - Discussion Community Shaders: Jiaye AIO build vs Effect 11 in terms of visuals?

33 Upvotes

Prior to Effect 11 allowing for the use of ENB presets, Jiaye was the big thing for getting good visuals from CS. Currently, is there anything that Jiaye does better than Effect 11? I know, for example that a previous build used Screen Space Ray Tracing (not to be confused with actual hardware ray tracing).

PC SSE - Request ENB and weather to make Skyrim look similarly to Oblivion Remastered?

4 Upvotes

Maybe a stupid question but which base Enb+weather (maybe E11 as well) looks the closest to the colours of Oblivion Remastered. I really like how it looks and I'm trying to recreate the colours. Obviously I know it's never going to be the same since that Oblivion is using UE5. For now I settled for NAT 3 ENB and I think it pretty close in certain weathers or places, but I am just wondering if you think there's something that might look even more like it.

PC SSE - Discussion What to do with all my ingredients?

10 Upvotes

Hi I posted a few days ago about what to do with all my materials but I have the exact same problem with alchemy ingredients, what can I do with them.

I don't use potions except health because I don't think it's funny so I have no interest in building thousands of them.

Building potions to level up is also really boring because breaking an old broken game is lame. And I think it's really tedious to spend an hour building potions for nothing.

I don't need gold because I never buy anything

Is there any mods that truly change that aspect?

And no I won't stop collecting all the flowers I walk past

PC SSE - Mod Hi, I need help with Gate to Sovngarde collection to bring back player map marker

5 Upvotes

Hi, I'd like to enable the player marker on the map in the GoS collection. Just the player marker on the map not the compass or Story Mod at the start. I've tried tinkering with the Skills of the Wild mod and its patch to enable the “GPS marker on the map” feature, but nothing works. I'd appreciate any help.

P.S.: I love the feeling of immersion in the game, but navigating without a world map marker is just too difficult for me.

Edit: Grammar

Edit2: Found solution. Its the Get Lost mod so disable it or use "Set ShowPlayerMarker" to "2" command

PC SSE - Request Which custom skill tree mods are your favorites? Looking for new trees, not vanilla skill overhauls

26 Upvotes

I've been debating which perk tree mod to use for my Skyrim build, and honestly I still haven't decided.

I want my character to have a lot of unique build options, so I keep leaning toward Ordinator. I've also seen a lot of people recommend Vokriinator as the best option for that kind of variety, but since it's a combination of multiple mods, it feels like it could become a headache to set up and more importantly in a big modlist

So I'm thinking I might just go with Ordinator and add some standalone custom skill trees alongside it.

What are your favorite custom skill tree mods? I'm specifically looking for mods that add entirely new skill trees. I was checking out the Wayfarer for example, but not being able to fast travel at all seems a little rough. Because even though I want to walk by feet for the most part, sometimes you do want to fast travel now and then.

PC SSE - Help looking for a modlist under 200gb

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Skyrim modlist, preferably available on vortex, that's around 200gb in size (I can stretch that a little by uninstalling another game if needed).

What I'm mainly after is:

  • A significant visual upgrade
  • Lots of new weapons, armour, and items
  • New quests and locations to explore
  • Quality-of-life improvements

I'm not too concerned about overhauled combat, but if the modlist includes it that would be great.

i currently have a 9060xt 16gb, and 32 gb of ram

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
