Just for anybody who wants to follow the list; you probably want Quick Light instead of Wearable Lanterns. WL is a great mod, but has an annoying tendency to crash in any worldspace that isn't in vanilla Skyrim (notably, going to Solstheim frequently leads to Skyrim crashing to desktop).
Hi there! Nice guide and easy to follow! I really like your setup for the locations/towns! I was wondering what is your setup for the lightning? Did you use one or the weather + enb is enough?? See ya
Hey thanks! The light looks okay to me, if you don't like the vanilla lightning you can try something like Luminosity or ELFX, just look carefully what patches are required. Since I found a setup that is both nice and visible, I think I'm fine with it.
Been following your recommendations for awhile now since that reddit thread a few months back. I remember it being particularly notable because I was attempting to build a mod list with almost the exact same idea. It's great to see this all together in one place and so nicely organized! I notice a lot of deviation from the list that you originally posted. What were some of your reasons for dropping some of the earlier mods from that list? I'm intrigued by your thought process.
TBH I don't remember the reason behind each and every change, and especially in comparison to the last version I had posted on reddit, I think I added more than I removed (because I discovered new mods, or wanted to have a more complete overhaul). I think I removed a few things because I discovered incompatibilities I hadn't noticed at first, or were good enough for personal use but had too many issues for a published list. Nothing huge though. I also removed a lot of large texture packs because they were heavy and redundant, and added many others that focused on details. Also after finding myself helpless 1) in the woods at night and 2) in my very own home ^^, I stopped tinkering with light, and discovered Lucid ENB.
You mean for mods that need tweaking? I was thinking to more detailed tutorials (what cells you need to find etc) because apparently I'm the last person on Earth who's not fond of video-everything. :)
Some downloads need a little more info. Like for example Rustic Soul gems; unsorted or sorted version? And JS Dragon Claws, there's just "JS Dragon Claws+patches". Do you mean to download all 4?
What FOMOD option in Cathedral Landscape?
And what Diversity download file did you pick? There's three of them.
Don't want to pick any wrong option and break something, hence why I'm asking :)
Rustic soul gem options just organizes your inventory.. or not The only JS claws patch you might want is for Helgen Reborn.. Love those Claws :) Go ahead and tweak and see..
- Diversity: pick the one with CRF and custom hair
- JS Claws - it's the amethyst patch you need (I'm not using Helgen Reborn)
- Gems - I'm using the unsorted version since I only wanted a retexture; I *think* the sorted one should be equally fine, I haven't checked but I don't have other mods editing the gems
- Landscapes - up to you. I use the Grass Only 'cause potato, but if your computer can bear it it's worth picking the complete one since there aren't other mods for landscapes.
