This is interesting lol You can make skyrim have a winter overhaul and add some survival mods and just make it into a customizable Version of The Long Dark.
Lets say if I was to just activate this in my load order and play with it for awhile. Then decide to uninstall it. Do the NPCs come back to normal or is my save screwed and then I would have to start over??
Some scripted events might mess up, especially if they've already been initiated (Roggvir's Execution) and it depends on the mods you have installed. But otherwise it shouldn't. Though I would recommend doing it in an interior that only has 1-2 NPCs normally.
Thanks. I'm mostly curious about this. Probably make a version where its only animals and creatures like trolls and ice wraiths. No un-dead creatures like skeletons and draugr. I think then people can make a skyrim like "a last person alive survival simulator" lol
There is some nice possibilities here. So thanks for making it. Like the other dude who made the mod of "Nothing" That mod truly lives up to its name 10/10
Okay. Which means I'll be removing elk, rabbits, probably make most dogs hostile or just remove them (not including wolfs they'll stay in), foxes, and anything else which isn't hostile.
No. I mean keeping all the animals both passive and hostile. Then like the only creatures you would add would be trolls, spiders and chaurus enemy creatures. no NPC or undead is what I'm saying I guess. Yeah that. lmao idk why I wouldn't have said that earlier lol Have you played the long dark? There are no humans and you are just in the wilderness going against nature and trying to survive off of salvage and what animals you can kill for food. This obviously doesnt have to be done. I'm just saying if you could make this version then someone could essentially make skyrim into a fantasy The Long Dark type of game with this mod and right survival and difficulty mods installed.
of course! Makes it harder lol I would think that there are mods that make creatures faster. So even if seeing a bunch of animals and creatures the player wont be able to catch them or out run them that easily.
I also play The Long Dark. I've been trying to get a load order together that includes Frostfall, Campfire, Wet and Cold, CoT, etc. and as soon as I include this one I end up with the same problem others have noted; it hangs on the load screen. I'd really like to use the 'creatures' version, but I'm at a loss at this point. I can live with ditching my regular load order, but not with only adding this mod since I want to recreate TLD as much as possible. Any suggestions?
Try not using COT. That has sOOoOo many patches. Don't get me wrong that weather is amazing but the patches are just too much sometimes. Try purity, NLA, NLVA. And switch the wetahers to be more cloudy and rainy or snowy. I think purity would be better if I'm not mistaken. I honestly wouldn't know what to do with the Esp in terms of making it stable and flawless. Have you tried to ask on reddit? If not then I suggest making a quick account and posting your problem on r/skyrimmods. You will be surprised with who can help you or lead you in the right direction. You could join the skyrim modding discord and ask them too. They are pretty active as well.
Maybe get a hold of mihail for his monster and creatures. Like his wolf and deer to incorporate them if you wanted to make a much MUCH larger mod out of this.
Thank you, I'll head to reddit and ask there. I removed every mod I had that even remotely affects npc's including cbbe; but things like convenient horses and wet and cold also raise questions since they both include coding for npc's. Convenient horse herding requires the guy at the stables to be there to sell you equipment, dogs, etc. so I am fairly certain that is a no-go. Even things like Sate that appetite I'm questioning now although it doesn't change npc speech to my knowledge, just what is available for sale at inns and in leveled loot. Lol, I've never fought with a load order so much before ~ even before I learned how to mod!
Yeah dude. I feel you lol. Skyrims load order can be really hard to manage if you are trying to make something or make a compatibility. Best of luck to you. I’m still tracking your page here just in case.

Well, I haven't tried it yet since I started a play through just using the other survival mods, but I am fairly certain the solution is the same for 'Alone' ~ ditch either USLEEP or the previous patches. It makes sense when I stop to think about it, but if that is the case, I think it should be stated on the description page. Also, does this require Dyndolod the same as 'Alone', or would there be any conflicts using it?
I did add Purity and I love it! Thank you for that suggestion TheForkOnTheLeft!
I know dyndolod for the most case is fairly compatible with most mods unless what you are doing is going to mess with weathers, world lighting, land and world edits of any kind. Honestly wouldn't know too much about how this kind of modding goes dude. I'm mostly aware of the basics for weathers and grass mods lol And really well rounded for ENB and SKGE to en extent. I wish I could help more. :/ Your best bet is asking around. Maybe someone knows somebody who isn't too busy and who can help you much further down than I could lol. I just have an idea and that's it lmao. I'm glad you like that weather. I want to make a preset for that weather once I'm done with my other presets.
I've hit a brick wall as far as I can tell. Dyndolod requires USLEEP ~ and this mod won't load unless I remove it ... but also won't load without Dyndolod. The ONLY way I can get it to work is if I load SKYUI, Dyndolod, LAL, and this mod. ANY other mod and I get stuck at the loading screen ... but without it I can add in 179 others including several weather, Real Shelter, 17 different plant and tree textures, etc.
I can't even get Campfire or Frostfall to run with this ~ which sort of defeats the whole purpose. I don't know enough about the CK to even begin to try and figure out why, but I do know just removing the USLEEP master in Dyndolod is not the solution. The only 3 other mods that were in my list that required USLEEP weren't relevant since they were things like consistent older people (found that out by trying to remove it with my stable load order prior to starting this head banging session). Trying to get Lonely and Dyndolod to play together sans USLEEP is just a no go though and so far I haven't seen/talked to anyone else who has tried and succeeded. Right now it's looking like I'm gonna be playing a recluse and just shunning people ... or a wanted fugitive running at the sight of others rather than wandering a lonely Skyrim though. Sigh.
don't use real shelter. Just use the newest ENB binaries (Don't need a weather preset. Jt the files that come with borris's origional ENB files. It now had rain occlusion which doesnt use any scripts that skyrim uses and soley relies on that third party .dll file that is used for ENB.) More Esps= A bad time. Don't do those things lol Try to stick with a few you absolutely need and the rest just dump them. I'm more than sure you will find a way around it. Don't use dyndolod. That should only be if you want nice lod textures and distance. Try using a high quality texture lod or something. Considering you can't use DynDoLOD at all then thats your next step here..or at least option.
This is perfect for survival sandbox play. Warning though this does not work with USLEEP and its impossible to make a mod like this work with USLEEP due to deleted NPCs. On the other hand if you want a hardcore survival sandbox experience, I highly recommend this along with Random Alternate Start, Campfire, Frostfall, Art of the Catch, Hunterborn, Scrimshaw Expanded, your favorite needs mod (I use RND), Useful Dogs, your favorite dog mod, and Wintersun. Also highly recommend Skyrim Unlocked, it will let you get into places that are normally quest locked in the vanilla game.
You just saved my bacon; thank you so much. I was encountering the conflicts with USLEEP when trying to do Alternate Start: Live Another Life. I appreciate the mod recommendations, too!
If you remove all the people then add a war mod then increase the amount of soldiers to an insane amount you could make Skyrim a pure battlefield. I am using Special Edition with a save at the Helgen cave exit. I used console to disable Ralof in Riverwood. Bleak Falls Barrow had the bandit in the spider webbing but no spider. Falkreath, Whiterun, and everywhere else I have been are empty. This was not a clean test and I think the mod delivers it's claim at 99% or better. There is an impressive amount of work done in the files too. In my opinion this mod is a major asset for multiple purposes like people making nature video loops for Utube soundscapes or just testing other mods. If I decide I want to remove a character or group from my populated Skyrim I can learn from this mod how to do that. If you are modding your game also from inside the files this mod is a great tool to have in a folder.
Do you have a problem with my comment? The comment section is not for your opinion of others. If it were I would say you are the poop in the field of flowers that everyone avoids.
Im trying this out, but does anyone know a mod that removes all npcs that just dont have quest for you, i just want to remove the npcs that take up space. Edit; Cant get this to work.. Game just Freezes at the main menu :( Edit: annnd this officialy broke my game, awesome, now i have to reinstall.
I prefer it this way. No more annoying NPCs saying dumb things over and over. Reduce lag. I just want to survive animal attacks, not some archer "sniping" at me while at the same time making sure I am aware of his locations by obnoxiously shouting at me. Damn, the ai in this game is dumb.
So...I think it's this mod that is causing my game to not work with USLEEP. Are there any patches or workarounds to fix this? I'd really like to use this mod but when I have it activated, my game opens but the main menu never appears, just the dragon emblem.
I loaded this and tried to start a new game, it wouldn't initiate, just removed the main menu and continued playing the theme. so I loaded a lvl 1 save and for some reason it CDT's once the world is loaded...
Well, I couldn't seem to get it to work with all the mods I have. But while looking for similar mods I found this, https://rd.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67661? It doesn't remove all the NPC's like yours, but together they work beautifully, and create a very isolated world. Although I had to have both deactivated to start a new game.
Can't. One because it would take too much work (which I'm fine with) however even though I transfer between two computers neither of them is powerful enough to load up the Creation Kit with multiple master files (.esm's).

Also would Hagravens and Giants be included as they're technically humans?
All animals including predatory animals and trolls I guess.
That seems reasonable.
Have you played the long dark?

But i'll be honest this is useful for taking scenery screenshot. I like this.
