Note about compacting mods: All mods with [ESPLite - C] may be compacted without problems (they don't have any patches or other plugins that rely on them). Simply, ignore warning from the mini-guide about ESLify.
first i wanted to say thanks for this great mod list and guide. Second i just have a little problem, not big i think. In the MO2 the files/mods YASH-Skyrim Skill Uncapper Patch and Mystic Condenser 2.2 AIO are shown in the wrong version for some reason. Even after i installed it correctly with the link and the right version (in both cases there is only the one file).
Hi guys, I am running a i5 3470, 8 GB ram and RX 580 8GB PC. I know we should not skip any mod but I am trying to identify which mod hogs the most performance. I have the full mod list but created different profile to test out.
1) Disabling Enhanced Vanilla Tree (or not using custom lushed trees) boosts performance by 5-10 FPS for me.
2) I don't know how but Ultimate HD Fire also takes 5-10 fps for me. But should this really happen? We are not even using the meshes from this mod.
3) How much does weather mods impact? I am testing Cathedral Weathers with Semirealis ENB (disabling AO & DOF). It looks so good. I hope the author adds this to this guide. Is the ENB AO more performance hungry than in game AO?
4) I am using the perofrmance option of the LODs and it seems it has no impact on performance in most areas.
5) All the city mods like JK's eats up a lot of FPS as well. Specially in whiterun and riverwood.
Can anyone else point me to other heavy mods that is used in this guide?
Well, my advice is to not use other mods (as the cathedral weather mod - it's not even give you more fps, lol) with the guide. You'll have issues. I have a full build with yashed in a 1050ti, 8gb ram and 50+ fps all the time. How? -> EVT with slightly performance choice tree -> grass with low stats -> no enb -> change ini with bethini. There multiple ways to increase fps... Decrease shadow quality, decrease/remove ambient occlusion, decrease/remove godrays... Very Ez. You may or may not like the changes (it's not that big) but it gives fps.
Either way this is an all in type of guide, not to choose mods from. It's the first and only rule. Not following that rule=no support for issues.
I did not mention about any issue.. I was just trying to find out which ways give me more FPS. I already mentioned I have the full modlist in my mod manager. But I am testing stuffs in another profile.
And ya, grass makes a huge performance difference when used with ENB. I switched to performance option of grass when I used it along with ENB.
Also from the ENB, disabling DOF, Skylighting bumps the FPS a lot too. I am currently using the ENB godray which looks pretty good so will keep that for now.
Hi, just a little question. I am modding Skyrim and I was searching for a good NPC Overhaul mod list. If I follow only the NPC section from this guide will it work without the black face bug or the megapatch is still essential?
I Crash when i try entering Markarth! Anyone can Help?` Except that everything is great and it looks so damn good.NEver seen Skyrim that Beautyfull with good fps thanks in advance
remove some mods? Theres 600+ mods in here.... and im sure the megapatch alone requires most of the mods to be enabled! Thank doe, i guess no Markarth for me :/
Hey! I just want to comment and say that though I haven't followed this guide to the letter, I've found many excellent mods through this guide, and many helpful tips and suggestions for helping me patch things much faster in SSEedit.
Also I love the Yash style of gameplay. It's harder but way more rewarding, and the playthrough I'm planning thanks to these mods will likely be a very long and fulfilling playthrough. Thanks so much for making this guide!
What about "Ultra Trees" The guide states to disable generation of Tree LOD, so I have trees that don't exist at long range with massive pop in. Am I missing something?
I thought I would note that I seem to have successfully added a few audio mods you and others might consider as I was able to ESPLite-C them.
Illy's High Quality Fire Audio - SE Edition (New Version) - Fires Never Sounded So Good... Has Fire Volume Setting Slider [ESPLite-C] Improved Horse Step Sounds (IHSS) - Honestly, once I used the mod I will never go back especially since it seems to survive [ESPLite-C]
I am still experimenting with [ESPLite-C] on....
The Northerner Diaries in Skyrim (Music) - Can Anyone Else Verify Success ? Realistic Husky Sounds SE - I convert dogs to huskies and wolves (smile) seems to have worked still testing - Anyone Else?
And, last but not least, an unrealistic sound set to be sure, but I am old enough to have pre-ordered Daggerfall and so I always include...
Skeletons of Daggerfall [OLDRIM]
...because it takes me back - it has no ESP and installs easily - crazy screaming skeletons - lol.
I would begin by noting that "The Northerner Diaries in Skyrim" is on this mod list and the status now reads [ESPLite-C] which is what prompted me to my post. Second, I believe 'fire' and 'horse galloping' are arguably more common in the average game play that hammer sounds and I thought might make fine additions to the list (either officially or unofficially) as sound mods should in no-way-shape-or-form interfere with any other aspects of the mod list and at the additional cost of 0 ESPs are worth consideration - IMHO. Moreover, since I was not looking for *support* I felt that this forum was appropriate and I did not feel that, given the Northerner Diaries *is* on this Mod List, I needed to make a second posting on Discord as I spend little time on Discord owning to my clinical practice and life obligations. And, finally, I am not sure that I see the point of your post... though I am fine that you felt compelled to make it none-the-less. Cheers.
Yes, northern diaries is in the mod list and it has a tag for compact-c, wich means it's safe to do so. It's quite ez to make a discord account and post the mods as mod suggestions. There is gonna be an official page with mods that you can add peacefully with yashed, that you can read about in the discord channel.
I guess my point was Northern Diaries was *not* so tagged until after my post which was the point of the original post. I do have a Discord account. It is more a matter of not having the time to flip and the fact that my post was not to get what I think of as support... hence posting here, but no worries. I hope you are otherwise, well.
True SKyrim adds "UNIQUE REGIONS NAMES" mod....when you exit a door you are supposed to see "WHITERUN HOLD" text on the screen instead of "SKYRIM" for example, but it doesn't work...
I get a YASH error upon starting the game. It says "CRITICAL CONFLICT DETECTED" something in your load order is overriding YASH race records. Not sure what it could be.
I managed to fix this on my own by creating a RACE PATCH for all race conflicts with YASH2. BBCJamesMay, I hid the races file in the file tree at the YASH part of this guide, like I said previously, read it. Of course, you know what they say about those who assume...

pick a lower preset in bethini
change ENB option for performance
I have a full build with yashed in a 1050ti, 8gb ram and 50+ fps all the time. How?
-> EVT with slightly performance choice tree
-> grass with low stats
-> no enb

Otherwise, those mods aren't in the guide, lol
