...intentional ? it s a ck export navmesh bug reported by boss you 're talkin about... this mod is clean as possible. Bethesda is aware of this harmless bug, and they are "working on it..."
thank you for the update I have high respect for people who support their mod for better quality. it's sad that there are many good mods out there got left out by the authors just because it didn't have many attention from people.
AdalMatar.esp CRC: BA0C35C4 Note: V1.1+: This file contains 3 deleted NavMesh records that TES5Edit cannot repair automatically, and which are reported by the mod author to be harmless artifacts from Creation Kit export. Warning: Contains 17 ITM records. Clean with TES5Edit.
Why don't You Just Run it through TES5Edit and Stop making a Fuss....Some People are Never Happy..I have just Learnt how to Clean Files,but the Instructions were Difficult,in the End I Used Common Sense and can Now Clean in 6 Easy Steps....I didn't Really Notice any Problems with Visual Glitches etc..The Graphics were Superb,as they are on ALL Games with a GTX 980Ti..I have NO Idea on How to Make MODS and having a "Serious Lung Condition" I don't have the Time to Learn,so Appreciate All the Work by MOD Makers,who make the Game More Enjoyable....
...have another skilled european modder in our international team! we are working on Atmora (sorry my French is too bad to talk to you ;-) ) and so our new continent is 90% finished and gets a last polishing now! would you like to have a look? ("Expedition to Atmora" (home place of all free man))
Wish i could have played as others. I found some thalmor in the eastmarch camp stole the secret agent notes from them found the advance camp and just climbed up the mountain. I don`t think it was suppose to be that way. Did i miss something ?
Перекопал весь сайт и не нашел ни одной нормальной орочей крепости, куда можно было бы привести жену и детей (хотя бы 2-х). Ваш мод поддерживает усыновление, или тоже нет?
Aww man I wish I could CK better because this needs a patch with Dragonborn Gallery due to Adal Mata and a shrine Dragonborn Gallery adds overlapping. You can sort of get it to work if you use Mator Smash i didnt get any crashes due to nav meshes being overlapped or anything. But there is a shrine in the middle of the Stronghold dedicated to boethia that wouldn't be there. If anyone who can CK feels like making a patch that moves Dragonborn Gallery's shrine to somewhere else close by, that would be awesome. Until then I will wait until I play a playthrough where DBG isnt "essential" to play this series of mods.
Also if you have this whole quest series installed its very easy to accidently end up in a massive 1v A whole army by accident because you just wanted to get a radiant quest done or one of those random quests like find this guy's helmet or my crew lost the shipment whilst drinking in a cave. Those quests can sometimes tell you to go to the locations added by this mod series before you even start the mod series so to speak. But yeah anyway would've been cool but its too in your face which means you can't leave it in your game unless you are definatly 100% gonna use it in that playthrough which makes it not so great for making a balanced all round load order.
game keeps crashing every time i approach the lost ruins/Adal Matar area. i'd like to enjoy this mod (and especially kill Thalmor), but i can't when i can't even experience the content.
i've ran LOOT and xEdit, they say it's clean, but it still CTDs the moment i get too close to the area. should it be somewhere in my load order that it isn't right now?
Load order for anyone interested (PS - some of the Workshop mods have been removed, especially Temple of the Akaviri and The Bigger They Are, as they were causing CTD issues)

Did you check with Skyrim monitor and see if you reached the 3.1 GB RAM limit in this place where you experienced the CTD? Are you using „crashfixes“, ENBoost and/or Sheeson‘s memory patch? Are you using SKSE?
Having weird issue with the mine, when I enter caverns the screen gets dark and blurry, cannot access menus or change view, and getting attacked by what I assume are trolls that I cannot see. I thought that it was a cutscene where maybe I was supposed to die, but I have DA installed, so not really an option. I had to try TGM to manage to kill invisible enemies, but can't seem to go anywhere from there. Not really sure what I am supposed to do, eventually just COC'd out because I was getting frustrated.
FYI I have ported all 4 "Episodes" to SSE and played them without any major issues. I never actually played these "quests" in Oldrim so I don't know if they are 100% WAI.
My finding on these mods are that no quests are added, just player homes and explorable areas where you are supposed to follow clues contained in books, journals and orders in order to lead you to the end bosses thus clearing the areas.
Issues:
Part 2 adds places that are very close to the border crossing created by Beyond Skyrim - Bruma, which makes the area a warzone between the Thalmor & Imperials from Bruma. I also needed to incorporate the CTD Fix (a single line edit easily done in xEdit).
Part 4 I experienced some issues with the water immediately outside the mine entrance, and interior lighting within the Dragonmourn Inn, but nothing major.
I have been experiencing a sound bug wherein if I alt-tab out of Skyrim upon going back into Skyrim I would hear the combat music. Further investigation has led to the conclusion that this series of mods (Part IV?) is the culprit:
The solution is simple, open console and type "removemusic MUSCombatBoss" without quotes, save. Reload this new save and continue as normal.
I will not upload due to MadFrenchie's readme statement "Please do not rehost this mod without my explicit permission." and it appears that he hasn't responded to anyone since Mar '13 so contacting him is a waste of time.
So, Port process:
1. Manually download and install with your Mod Manager 2. Load the .esp in CK and save (Converts to Form 44) 3. Update meshes with Nif Skope - not doing so will result in black faces for NPC's created by this mod. 4. Unpack any .bsa - Parts 1&2 do not have a .bsa 5. Repack archive with updated files for backup purposes
I don't know what the permissions are for this, but could you please please please upload your port? I know for a fact that a lot of people would be ecstatic, even if they had to go through a 3rd party site to get it
This is yet another reason why the DEFAULT permissions for Nexus need to be some of the creative commons non-commercial share alike with attribution. or at least share alike on nexus non commercial.
Then mod authors would not have to explicitly go out of their way to help their mods survive over time.
Note: this is in no way a criticism of mod authors - after all, life can get busy, priorities change, etc. But often they may not think "hey, those tens of thousands of people who loved my mod, might want it to live on after I move on to other projects, and I forgot that nexus default permissions are antiquated and unless I specifically remember and go out of my way to set up permissions without a list or guidelines to help me decide, those people are screwed...".
Played this through, and, while it is dated, it provided a few more hours of gameplay, and some interesting challenges in the Lost Ruins. My only real complaint is that the Adal Matar mine has an exit to Skyrim (at the Adal Matar Orc hold) which appears to be crocked. I get a "gone blind" effect and an inability to revert to quick save there when exiting, but not when using that entrance. Much worse is the fact that the Adal Matar Caverns has the same issue, making that segment of the dungeon inaccessible.
Still, I really hate the Thalmor, so I will play the rest of these mods, and I hope I won't run into any similar problems. ='[.]'=
Had similar issues on FAtT IV, South Dragon Bridge, but was provided a solution by another commenter, there. Using the utility mod, STATUS:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32657/?
I could go through the exit with the "black smoke" effect, then take a coupla steps forward, access STATUS in the MCM, and check the coordinates (X, Y, and Z) in "Cell." Using that information, I could look for the Xtel coordinates in TESVEdit, and change them to the new ones I had discovered.
The corrected Xtel coordinates for Mine to Adal Matar Stronghold (FormID 0203322D) were:
X- 188046.375000 Y- 9469.023438 Z- 9327.003906
The corrected Xtel coordinates for Mine to Cavern (FormID 0203051) were:
X- 1929.504395 Y- 712.504944 Z- 7580.298828
I hope this helps anyone else who runs into that issue. =^[.]^=
i open the esp with the creation kit and move the headXmarker of the door outside the range of the object. You should do that for all the bugged entrances, that will fix them.

A good guide to porting mods can be found here:

You should do that for all the bugged entrances, that will fix them.
