Xzibit pimped my Skyrim !

[Kasigi_Yabu]

So I've been going through mods and I've came up with a list, and decided to us Tendos' SkyRe
But I just have a few questions:
does the crafting overhaul http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49791/?  work if I have armors/weps from other mods? and with SkyRe?
Is immersive animations http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34950/?    compatible with SkyRe?
I'm also going to use the Floral Overhaul, but are realistic aspen trees (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51069/) compatible with it and is more fallen trees (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55699/) compatible with it?
Then I have found 2 ENB's:
Phinix Natural ENB  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24235/
RealVision ENB http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/
would they be useful with/get in the way of mods like the floral overhaul?

Download Skyrim Redone - Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade Patch and SkyRe Compatibility and ReProccer Patches.

Is immersive animations http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34950/?    compatible with SkyRe?
Yes.

I'm also going to use the Floral Overhaul, but are realistic aspen trees (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51069/) compatible with it and is more fallen trees (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55699/) compatible with it?

ENB's generally change contrast/saturation, so some stuff can have a bit different colour, but both should be fine. Keep in mind that SFO can fuck up framerate, although it's really nice. If you like vanilla feel, try Phinix'.

Regardless, whenever you have doubts about mods, better check the description and posts pages first and, if you don't find your solution in the first page of posts (or pages if you bother), you can click on "View Forum Thread" and then use the Search function.

T3nd0's Perkus Maximus (PerMa) is the successor of SkyRe, and it changes less aspects of the game, compared to SkyRe, remaining similar to its perk overhaul part.

Less or No Magic Mod attempts to remove magic from the game. Instead of using spells, casters now go melee. I haven't tested it much, but, so far, I have only found one or two casters, and I think they were mod-related.

WARZONES has been updated! At last!!!

• Forget about Steam Workshop, unless it contains mods that aren't hosted in NEXUS. NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) works very well, making installing and uninstalling mods pretty easy.
• Always run LOOT after you have installed all your mods (or after installing a new mod mid-save to position it correctly in the load order). LOOT is the new version of BOSS, and it works like a charm, without the need of BUM or anything else. Run it and everything is sorted! Failure to sort your mods properly will result in anomalies in-game and CTD (Crash To Desktop) or IFL (Infinite Load Screens). LOOT won't make the perfect order, so, after using it, you should have a look and place mods' addons (like UFO Dragonborn patch) right after their corresponding mods' main plugin. I'm not sure if this is crucial, but it's better for organisation's sake. At least do this in cases where the mod's author recommends a specific load order among certain mods.
• If you install more than one mod that alters levelled lists (what "respawnable" NPC's carry, like bandits) (generally this means armour and weapon mods, which usually give the items to NPCs as well), then you must (re)build "Bashed Patch, 0.esp" with Wrye Bash. Have a look at the Tweaks tab, because there are some interesting things you can change, like blocking actually blocking up to 100% damage ("max resistance" option), or changing timescale (how fast in-game time passes), or the distance at which guards notice a crime committed by you.
• Remember to install SKSE (version 1.7.1), as most mods will require it. If you download the extractable file, you must extract everything, including the folder, into Skyrim's main folder, but you can just download the installer, which is easier.
  You will always have to run the game with "skseloader.exe" for it to work, so make a non-steam shortcut in your Steam library of this file and always run the game with it; don't worry, it will count as playing the original Skyrim, and your hours will be counted.
  You should also add this:
  
  [General]
  ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
  
  [Memory]
  defaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
  scrapHeapSizeMB=256
  
  to SKSE.ini in C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\SKSE (if you don't have it, create a new .txt and rename it to SKSE.ini) so it can help avoid corrupted saved games if you uninstall scripted mods. The [Memory] part is what SSME used to do but now is integrated in SKSE.
• If you plan on using many script-heavy mods, like in most cases (most good mods involve scripts), you should edit these lines in Skyrim.ini (C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\My Games\Skyrim):
  
  [Papyrus]
  fUpdateBudgetMS=1.6
  fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.6
  fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0
  bEnableLogging=0
  bEnableTrace=0
  bLoadDebugInformation=0
  bEnableProfiling=0
  uTraceStatusOfQuest=0
  
  There's a lot of documentation about these Papyrus settings, but, recently, most people advise against changing them. According to this post, you can raise the first two lines up to 2.2, so I've settled with those settings and I have zero issues. With the default settings, you could get script lag. Like everything in modding Skyrim, it's all about trial and error.
• If you plan on using HQ texture mods, you should use Optimizer Textures once you have installed everything - I use "maximum profile" and resize if bigger than 2048.
• If you have to uninstall scripted mods throughout a game, use Savegame script cleaner to clean the saved game of orphan scripts.
• Take a look at Skyrim Stability Guide to know what to tweak and not to tweak and Speed and Stability Guide for ENB to tweak your ENB mod, if you use any.

  • First, open the console and type "coc qasmoke" (this will teleport you to an empty room, necessary for safety).
  • Second, wait a minute without doing anything (not in menus, just let your character "AFK"), then make a normal save (esc - save game), then exit the game.
  • Open the program, load the saved game, let it analyze until it says "analysis complete" on the left (it might take a couple of minutes), then click on "Remove unattached instances", until it says "removed x number of instances" (bottom-right), then click on "Remove instances", tick "Remove instances with undefined classes only", then remove, and, when done, close the program.
  • Go to your saves folder (my documents), move those last saves you edited (not the ones that start with EDIT) to your desktop (for example) then copy their name (without file extension) and paste it in the new EDIT files in saves folder (renaming them like the originals).
  • Run the game, load the save, wait a minute, then make another normal save.
  • For maximum safety, repeat the previous process - sometimes it might take another pass with the scalpel to completely clean it (I know, Skyrim is a bitch to mod). If the second pass doesn't eliminate any scripts (0 in both actions) then you can just delete those new EDIT files and forget about it.
  • Finally, to go back to wherever you were, type "help xxxx", where xxxx is the closest place; if you were near Whiterun, type "help whiterun" and scroll through the console with ScrlUp and ScrlDn to find "CELL" commands, then you would type "coc whiterunexterior01" (one of those CELL commands) to teleport yourself near Whiterun.

wonderful mod list!

So I play with Dragon Combat overhaul... and holy shit. I refuse to fast travel so I use carts etc, I was gonna recruit Hoth the companion in Morthal so I went there and on arrival a bandit fucks up the town so I had to kill it. It was quite the tough fight so I went to the inn and spent the night there, and on the morning when I went back outside a vampire attacks the town. We attack it and my companion Valfar shouts at it... he hits basically everybody and the entire town starts to attack us. In the middle of fighting an entire town, a vampire, THREE FUCKING DRAGONS SHOW UP AND STARTS FUCKING SHIT UP EVEN MORE. It's the most intense fight ever and I've been fighting for half an hour. I saved and quit cause my PC had to rest.

We killed the entire town, the Vampire and one dragon. Two remains.

God, I love dragon combat overhaul.

EDIT: "basics" extended and "list" fixed.

Great mod list, installed a subset of this and am now doing a replay of Skyrim, it's actually mostly enjoyable. A couple of things are still pissing me off - is there a mod that removes the "executions"? Or at least stops enemies from executing you? That shit is so broken, it's not even funny.
Also, the bug with animals being teleported into the sky and then falling to their deaths... There is a mod that at least is supposed to make horses invulnerable, but according to comments it doesn't really help with this. Having my horse die from this bug within minutes of me buying it is GTX-inducing >_>

I think it's possible to abuse the Dance of Death mod settings to set the chance of executions on you to zero.

• With The Dance of Death or ViolenS, you can turn off killmoves on you.
• Try limiting framerate to 58, and setting this line to true: WaitBusyRenderer=true (under [LIMITER]) in enblocal.ini (if you use an ENB or ENBoost).
• Convenient Horses lets you give horses more hitpoints or just make them essential (immortal), among many other things.

I will check out those mods, thanks.
I don't use ENB.
Really? I looked through it's settings, didn't find that... --edit: yes, it's there, hadn't noticed, this saves me so much rage

Jaxonz Diagnostics shows an in-game MCM that lets you run script latency tests among other things. Check out his other mods. Lots of good stuff!

• Forget about Steam Workshop, unless it contains mods that aren't hosted in NEXUS. NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) works very well, making installing and uninstalling mods pretty easy.
• Always run LOOT after you have installed all your mods (or after installing a new mod mid-save to position it correctly in the load order). LOOT is the new version of BOSS, and it works like a charm, without the need of BUM or anything else. Run it and everything is sorted! Failure to sort your mods properly will result in anomalies in-game and CTD (Crash To Desktop) or IFL (Infinite Load Screens). LOOT won't make the perfect order, so, after using it, you should have a look and place mods' addons (like UFO Dragonborn patch) right after their corresponding mods' main plugin. I'm not sure if this is crucial, but it's better for organisation's sake. At least do this in cases where the mod's author recommends a specific load order among certain mods.
• If you install more than one mod that alters levelled lists (what "respawnable" NPC's carry, like bandits) (generally this means armour and weapon mods, which usually give the items to NPCs as well), then you must (re)build "Bashed Patch, 0.esp" with Wrye Bash. Have a look at the Tweaks tab, because there are some interesting things you can change, like blocking actually blocking up to 100% damage ("max resistance" option), or changing timescale (how fast in-game time passes), or the distance at which guards notice a crime committed by you.
• Remember to install SKSE (version 1.7.1), as most mods will require it. If you download the extractable file, you must extract everything, including the folder, into Skyrim's main folder, but you can just download the installer, which is easier.
  You will always have to run the game with "skseloader.exe" for it to work, so make a non-steam shortcut in your Steam library of this file and always run the game with it; don't worry, it will count as playing the original Skyrim, and your hours will be counted.
  You should also add this:
  
  [General]
  ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
  
  [Memory]
  defaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
  scrapHeapSizeMB=256
  
  to SKSE.ini in C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\SKSE (if you don't have it, create a new .txt and rename it to SKSE.ini) so it can help avoid corrupted saved games if you uninstall scripted mods. The [Memory] part is what SSME used to do but now is integrated in SKSE.
• If you plan on using many script-heavy mods, like in most cases (most good mods involve scripts), you should edit these lines in Skyrim.ini (C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\My Games\Skyrim):
  
  [Papyrus]
  fUpdateBudgetMS=1.6
  fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.6
  fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0
  bEnableLogging=0
  bEnableTrace=0
  bLoadDebugInformation=0
  bEnableProfiling=0
  uTraceStatusOfQuest=0
  
  There's a lot of documentation about these Papyrus settings, but, recently, most people advise against changing them. According to this post, you can raise the first two lines up to 2.2, so I've settled with those settings and I have zero issues. With the default settings, you could get script lag. Like everything in modding Skyrim, it's all about trial and error.
• If you plan on using HQ texture mods, you should use Optimizer Textures once you have installed everything - I use "maximum profile" and resize if bigger than 2048.
• If you have to uninstall scripted mods throughout a game, use Savegame script cleaner to clean the saved game of orphan scripts.
• Take a look at Skyrim Stability Guide to know what to tweak and not to tweak and Speed and Stability Guide for ENB to tweak your ENB mod, if you use any.

Action Combat is a very interesting new combat mod. I haven't tried it much yet but it looks better than Deadly Combat.
