FAQ: When the undead appear in Whiterun (typically) my game crashes!
IMPORTANT NOTE (credit to Crushboss):
Players not using HDT Physics need to use the XPMS Skeleton 1.95.
Players using HDT Physics need to use the XPMSE Skeleton 3.77 (or newer).
Anyone using old hardware or a slow computer should not use HDT Physics (based
on your load order it doesn't appear that you are) and should stick
with XPMS Skeleton 1.95.
These skeletons are heavily tested and widely supported. The Skulltyrant and other skeletons are out dated and
no longer supported.
I'm extremely selective with the animation mods I install due to being bitten in the butt numerous times by them. It is really frustrating to spend two weeks troubleshooting a load order to find it's the animation mod that is causing the crashes (been there done that three different times).
Anytime you add any animations you must run GenerateFNISforusers.exe to register and build the new animations.
Your skeleton should always be the last mod installed and you shouldn't allow a mod to overwrite any of it's files.
Players often get confused and install the wrong skeleton and incompatible mods (mostly animation).
You should be using FNIS 6.2 and XPMS 1.95.
The only time players should use the XPMSE 3.77 skeleton is if they are running HDT Physics (which I personally frown on). This skeleton also has a ton of other requirements that will cause issues if you don't follow all instructions.
If you are looking for the most current patches, please go to our downloads page and grab them from there. (Why didn't you think to do that already? It's ok, we can spoon feed you.)
Have you ever installed a mod and then have your Skyrim hang or CTD? If you have been modding for any amount of time then you have. Our excellent optimization guru CrushBoss has put together a quick and easy to read guide which contains the most common types of problems and remedies to those problems. The guide can be found on our website on this page. It was nice of him to create the guide, and nice of us to post it for you. You are welcome in advance.
not your will, but mine be done.
Know this! By downloading SoT your insignificant and worthless life will at last have meaning. Be grateful that you will be a perpetual "beta tester" (puppet) for the multitudes of evolutions that the mod will continue to outgrow. It is expected for you to diligently report any issues you may encounter here and accept what fate is dictated for you and the mod itself. If your lack of commitment is preventing you from engaging in becoming a puppet for the Sands of Time team, then you should pass on to greener pastures, for ours have dried up long ago.
All: 27.0 LOOSE FILES IS Up. BSA is next.
1. added new facegen data to match new esp file name. thank you fb.
2- remove a shield from one wolf. bah.
V26
1. Renamed ESP file
2. Fixed 5 dirty edits. would never upload a new version for 5 itms but renaming was needed for better patch support and to make a grumpy man a little happier.
Surprise! (FB will not be surprised) . 25.0!!! Ported over from the SE side, after I said i would not. Go figure.
25.0 - I ported the SE version of SOT over to the old skyrim version. How is that for something different that most sane people are not doing? Half the reason I did it was to see how hard it would be. Interesting experiment. But it has been completed. The mod now has only ONE esp file, no more use of two esps. One esp to rule them all. This also means that:
1) New game required. NEW GAME REQUIRED. Do NOT spend any time trying to upgrade a new game. Will be game suicide.
2) Patches for earlier versions of this mod WILL NOT work any longer. Will cause crash to desktop if you cry. Hopefully Fishbiter will update his patches, they are very useful.
3) Your wrybash patch and your tesedit patch are probaly toast as well.
4) On the pro side you now will have all the fixes and new feaures I have added over the last couple of months.
I have found a MAJOR flaw in the spawn placement of bandits on the surface using the bolstered spawns feature. This feature will take existing bandits and clone them for a tougher fight. This is different from random surface encounters which may spawn bandits or 20 other enemy types and is working fine. The bolstered spawns fearure, which clones works in one of two ways:
on line of sight acquisition of player, from a bandit
or
when the bandit cell is first loaded , when all its 3d is loaded.
It defaults to line of sight, as that allows for good sneaking tactics. if you are not seen no extra enemies appear and you can take them out before they see you.
All that is fine and dandy.
What is wrong, and took 10 hours to fix, is that the new bandit spawns were spawning AT THE PLAYER LOCATION, or within 1800 units in a random direction from player location. This makes NO SENSE as they appear from nowhere, and sometimes end up embedded in a mountain. Had one that ended up with only his head above ground. Funny. I killed him out of mercy.
But to illustrate further, I am approaching a tower with 5 bandits defending it. I try to sneak shoot them, I miss. they see me. They are on top of the tower and on the bridge. I am still a good ways off. Before fix, the spawns appeared not far from me, up to 10 or so if settings are set to 2, and in every direction randomly. this was no good and unfair, and not fun and unbalanced and etc etc.
Thus The Fix. I added a temporary invisible spirit that spawns at the bandit locaiton that sees the player. he is programmed to walk a little ways off, but not too far. Then the clones appear there, at that location where he ends up. This results in neatly spread out spawns over where the bandits are. On the bridge. On the tower stairs, on the top of the tower. Not two steps behind me. But to fix this I had to edit several hundred records, thus the many hours spent.
Additional changelog items:
1 - added two more traps in two more crypts.
2 - added Rune Sword Stormbringer as a reward when damsel is rescued. This sword and its companion Great Sword are no longer up on nexus or found anywhere, which makes them all the more precious now. The sword transfers life force from enemies to the Dovahkiin. The runes glow red in dark dungeons. Very cool.
3 - fixed up a quest description
4- made fiery horse from summons cowardly, he was fighting all my battles. will make him banish after three hits soon.
5- added new creature, debuting in bleakfalls barrow. carefully examine area around campfire when you first enter bleak falls barrow. let me know what you think.
6- fixed text in walking die roll description. was opposite of fact. and the fact is that the higher the die roll you set, the more spawn encounters that will appear.
7- added a skull pedestal in the graveyard of Falkreath. If activated it will start the zombie apocalypse. meant for players who report that the zombie apocalypse never starts.
8 - The greatsword version of Stormbringer is now fixed with proper meshes, a gorgeous creation. The Death Knight shield that was invisible is fixed. Avata of Baltazar was fixed. Some other misc things.
9 - changed textures and meshes to 1024k size. 32 bit skyrim cannot really ahndle more with a mod this large.
10 - Lobo fixed up many Rumiirua records and also made their skeleton more compatible with body mods. This should gete rid of ctds some people were having due to not using needed x32 skeleton version.
New Magical Ring added to game. The Chaotic Ring of Escape.
The ring:
1) sold by Melanie the Healer and the Gypsy Merchant.
2) injected into various game leveled lists , sepcially boss loots
3) if ring is equipped, the player will learn a new shout called "the wail of despair"
4) if ring is removed, the player loses shout
5) if player uses shout, he will lose the shout and the ring.
6) there will then be a 24 hour cooldown period. this will be in effect even if another ring is found or bought and used immediately.
7) the shout will teleport player out of danger, randomly placing him somewhere else in the dungeon or surface.
8 ) a random ammount of your gold will be left behind in a satchel at the spot you teleport from. you want it back then you will need to go back. when skse is back i will also have it removed some armor and weapon items.
9) all equipment will be unequipped once teleport is done. player will be woozy for a few seconds. after that he can re-equipped his gear.
This was something I was working on in the old skyrim version of sot and wanted to finish it. I was trapped in the room where you find the horn for the greybeards, and tired of being killed over and over. this was the solution, though i started a new game once I migrated to se skyrim.
fixes inlcude:
Question: why am I immortal?
Answer: you are not. It's a feature that you can toggle on or off. When hit, the feature turns to dovahkinn a random amount of health between 1 and max missing. Help newly dovahkiins survive and toughen up. Turns off by level 15. You can toggle off in one of the books. If hit repeatedly your luck WILL run out. Use mcm menu to toggle.
Question : I use Live Another Life, game never starts!
Answer: place after sot in load order and use bsa version of this mod.

slishkom pozdno. vam nuzhno sledovat' praktikam STEP bwst i deystvitel'no optimizirovat' vashu igru. Neobkhodimo ispol'zovat' versiyu SE ili AE, 64 bit. Komp'yuter dolzhen byt' prilichnym. vy ne mozhete dobavlyat' ili udalyat' mody posle zapuska igry s etim modom. yego poryadok zagruzki nikogda ne dolzhen menyat'sya. i t. d.
since I started a new playthrough once the SoT trigger started the mod the SoT Mobs - especially Ruima - appear as LARGE question marks (!) on red triangles.. that goes for all mobs - dragons - Liches etc..
anyone had a similar problem? or suggestion what may cause this. you can still interact - meaning Kill and Loot!!
How do you disable the "I have a bad feeling/I feel some change" everytime you're nearing bandit camp? The bandit Tower northeast of whiterun was supposed to be a "toll bandit" not a cult fanatic who just want bloodshed
