They were cool at first and i thought i could manage them but with the wolves avoidance AI and the guards avoidance AI its causing constant immersion breaks and im not dealing with it any more. iv invested too much time attempting to correct it with no notable results and im over it.
im letting the guards keep the Jaws of Solitude spell to summon the wolves though because it offers the same effect without the AI issues.
Still going to make a kennel though where you can buy them like horses or something like that once you have solitude fame. still thinking it over.
im disappointed but it was worth a shot and i learned something so its not a loss.
This makes this area livable for me instead of buying property in Solitude.
Maybe, I set up camp nearby and hang out at the Salty Spriggan in between quests.
Great looking mod! Seems like you put so much into this too! Thank you for sharing!
This mod has had a bug for a long time and honestly my inability to fix it kinda killed my motivation to keep working on it for a long time
If you spend any time at all on the docks ( I live there in game) lol. You will know that the mountains to the west and water to the east under the solitude archway just don't render. It's been this way for a long time and it's always been a sore issue for me. Like a wound that won't heal.
K so. This happened when I tried to make the skyrim map show the new layout of the docks as I moved the ships around and added the spring an.
Doing that I layer learned it can be a huge conflict for people hat have custom LOD. It was only after I did it that I found out what an issue it can be.
Finding a fix for the chunks that were failing to render has been next to impossible. But a few people have had similar issues with other mods.
The only working answer "remove the mod causing it" and I'm sure some of you did that with the docks for this reason.
Well spending.... Countless hours searching and testing/editing with TES5 EDIT I have found part of the issue. It's about 90% fixed. All of the LOD and chunks are rendering now in every cell except 2 and I'm getting to them.
When I'm don't all the mountains and water will be rendering properly at the docks and there will be an update with more dock add-ons.
One notable feature is the blacked out windows in the East Empire Co warehouse. You can now see through them.
I took that building all the way back to blender and even made new collision for it so you can even shoot arrows and cast spells through the windows. Pointless to most I'm sure but I take a lot of pride so something like that is huge to me.
Anyways yeah new update soon. Super excited
Open the Esp in TES 5 Edit navigate to the cell where the distant LOD fails to render.
Example:
Example.esp
Workspace
0000003C
Block -1, 0
Sub-Block -2, 2
000092BC Solitude Docks
This would be Tamriel -16, 23
All you need to do is select this cell
Then in the drop down list on the right look for
TVDT - Occlusion Data
Make sure this string match's Skyrim.Esm
Do this for all cells that fail to load chunks of LOD when standing in them and it will correct the rendering.
4 day trial and error and it was right there in front of me the whole time. The pay off is worth the headache.
After I finish getting the docks Deco also the inside of the spriggan, I will be working on the Grotto.. After that I'm driving into AI and dialog.
I'm going to be making my 1982 Conan a follower as part of the docks.
I never finished him. But i will. I may have to make the Docks an ESM to do it. Anyways Conan will be making a come back.
