01/12/2023: Mod has been updated. Check the changelog for more info. Let me know if you have any problems with the new uploads.
Also just a heads up, I changed the file name for the merged one since it wasn't the same as the others, so be careful when updating. Alternatively, you can rename it back to "Extra Encounters SE.esm." Preferably, wait until you do a new playthrough then update the mod. Updating is a choice, not a requirement. The bugs that were fixed were pretty insignificant, so you are not missing out on much.
Just a heads up, since this mod uses its own custom templates and factions for spawns, it doesn't mesh well with mods like EnemyReleveler which rely on vanilla templates and factions (for example it will spawn in level 1 mages when most of them are level 24), if you don't mind that then you can use this, but personally I'm not a fan of it.
I suggest Extended Encounters instead for a delevelled setup, as it only uses vanilla factions and templates so the levels are consistent with the actor type.
Why re-name the plugin?? Please never do this unless a new game is intentionally required for updating. Currently upgrading 1.3 will require a new game due or risk compromising an existing save unless users manually re-name it back to the former Extra Encounters SE.esm. It will also break any patches using the original plugin name as a master.
Because names are important. The original mod is Extra Encounters, but this is a port of Extra Encounters Reborn. Also, I seriously doubt your current save is the last, as goes with the notion that Skyrim modders are constantly creating new playthroughs. Plan on playing your current save longer than usual? Ok, you can wait until you are finished then update the mod. YOU ARE GIVEN THE OPTION OF UPDATING. It's not like I am forcing you. Also, any potential incompatibilities are addressed in the description of the mod page. For the most part, I haven't seen any incompatibilities with other mods, nor any addressed by people in the comments. This mod is fairly lightweight too, with the only script being a body clean up script.
By all means feel free to change the name of the ESM light file back to the former. What is so difficult about that?
I just updated and replaced the existing copy I had, and only after updating noticed that the name had changed. Now the old files are gone, deleted entirely by MO2, and the old version on the downloads page is Archived and doesn't give me an option to download. Since the original was included in my Smashed patch, it's now missing a master, and I can't load it either ingame or in xEdit to clean it back out. My only option is the manual rename.
for 1.3 just rename Extra Encounters Reborn.esm back to Extra Encounters SE.esm and you'll have no issue.
The issue with renames isn't so much related to any scripts, it's more so just that the baked location in the form data gets ripped from the save whenever a plugin is missing or is renamed. It's an caveat with the creation engine.
So I just need to change the name in the mod folder and remvoe the "reborn" from the "Extra Encounters Reborn.esm" and the game doesn't ask for the missing esm?
I've been looking for an old mod I used to love, and I'm wondering if this is the remake or if it has the same functionality (or if it could have the functionality added!).
The mod spawned enemies inside the dungeon door after a set period of time (configurable). The enemies would then start trekking toward the end of the dungeon.
That's it, but it was great, because a) it was immersive (i.e., simulated enemies that had been outside returning to base); b) it forced you to hurry to finish the dungeon if you didn't want to get ambushed; and c) sometimes it made getting back out almost as exciting as getting in.
Can someone help me ? I'm trying to remove this mod but everytime I disable it via the mod manager, I can't load my save. I get an endless loading screen.
Some ideas for some passive but immersive encounters meant to randomly appear in safe locations like cities and towns
Weddings for npcs marrying each other, I never really use the marriage mechanic so i never see it but seeing npcs using would be nice and immersive Could pull compatibility with Destination Weddings to add more locations if its installed
Funerals at halls of dead locations, and maybe compatibility with Kasala123 graveyard mods for most of the towns Mourning Restored adds in some cut content for mourning dialogue so npcs in these encounters and speech the part, its cut content so it wouldnt need that mod for it That mod makes npcs that a friend to a killed npc trigger mourning for a wile, where a funeral can have some random npcs spawn and speak these lines
Some over passive encounter ideas - Streaking npc where other npcs speak the naked comments, the streaker could have been caught cheating and is now running for his life or something to that effect - Collapse from hunger/exhaustion and have some npcs walk up do the crouch/loot body animation saying some relevant worried lines. Then the collapses npc wakes up and moves on - Arrest events in cities, a theif pickpocketing getting caught and arrested, or a thug starting a fight in the street and gets arrested
I guess these arnt the main goal of this mod but these passive encounters would be really nice to see to make the towns and cities feel more alive and lived in

So, there's that.

Is this the mod, or does that ring any bells?
- Does this mod have conflicts, bugs and incompabilities with other encounters?
- How its saftly for turned this ON in mid-game?
- Does is better then Immersive Encounters or Extended Encounters?
