There's Community Shader itself, then the forks like Bottled Shader, Open Shader, and Jiaye CS. What are the pros and cons of each? Which one do you guys prefer and why?

Hi Everyone,

Are you a Skyrim SE mod author interested in voice acting? Would you love to voice a fully-written, completed male follower and husband mod without having to write a single dialogue line, papyrus script, or quest? And would you like to help a fellow mod creator put a vital finishing touch on a passion project? ❤️

Last month, I published Ra'zorro - Male Khajiit Custom Follower and Husband Candidate

He's subtitled for now, but has been quite well-received with over 220 downloads and 31 endorsements to date (10/28). I've given open permissions for a voiced add-on, but I wanted to present this project opportunity in this sub as well since it's very easy to miss new mods on Nexus.

I'm praying for a fellow mod author who's already got a basic proficiency with the CK and other mod creation programs (Audacity if you don't want to record directly into the CK, Yakitori for converting the sound files to .fuz form but I'd be willing to try that part) and who would love to create a voiced add-on for an otherwise complete, fully-written (and promisingly popular) mod. I'm a creative, right-brained writer type, and the technical side is my weak point, so I'm not up for being sent hours of voice files. What I'm looking for is a mod-creation teammate, someone who would like to have a fully completed mod with finished quests, dialogue, follower AI, etc., who would be willing to record their voice for Ra'zorro's lines. If I had a male baritone voice, I would do this myself and just record directly in the CK with a decent mic. So please, I'm not asking for someone to take on a half-a-year project of polishing audio files!

Still, even recording directly in the CK is a big project, with 1,641 lines of dialogue. But it would allow the voiced add-on creator to benefit. Every download of my mod means a download of their voiced add-on. And hopefully even of greater importance, someone may have a lot of fun with it!

Therefore, this is a collaborative opportunity for a mod creator who also wants to voice act, not simply a voice actor, which is why I haven't posted anything in Casting Call Club.

But if you're a mod creator who would love to create a voiced add-on for an existing mod, Ra'zorro has much to offer:

• Fully developed backstory, personality, and romance arc
• Unique custom wedding
• Spicy, sweet, romantic, and slightly NSFW romance flavor (respectful but sex-positive!)
• Fully completed, clean, and lightweight mod lacking nothing but the voice
• Completely written, proofread, and play-tested dialogue (1,641 lines)
• Strong start on Nexus even as a subtitled, silent follower with great positive feedback (read the posts)
• Collaborative support with myself (Glyndorell is my mod author name) as needed if you have questions or run into any concerns during your project

I envision Ra'zorro with a smooth Puss-in-Boots style voice, but permissions are open to other interpretations. This Khajiit rogue speaks in first-person, being a very "cosmopolitan and cultured" fellow, as he explains to the player character when asked why he lacks a typical Khajiit accent. So no worry about "This one thinks that..."

Ra'zorro's personality is based loosely on the classic Zorro archetype, and as such, I included some limited Spanish words and phrases. Krou705 also has kindly created a Spanish translation for Ra'zorro. I would love to get an English voiced add-on first, but if you'd prefer to do a Spanish voiced add-on, you can reach out to Krou705 as well.

Thanks for considering taking on this project. Please reach out to me on Nexus if you're interested in creating a voiced add-on. My mod creator name is Glyndorell.

By the way, you'd be fulfilling the wildest dreams of a bunch of Khajiit-loving players, especially those with any sort of a Zorro crush....LOL! 😂

Basically a nevernude body mod that makes VANILLA female body look better, similar to what Males of Skyrim does.

Only found gooner stuff on Vortex after looking around. Maybe I missed it, but I specifically want the simplicity of having enhanced/improved vanilla bodies for my playthrough, not those that completely turn NPCs into unimmersive dolls.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I tried searching Nexus but didn't find anything.

I think I'm gonna make this myself, but want to make sure it's not, like, already part of a popular quest expansion or dialogue overhaul somewhere

Salutations all! I recently made a lightweight plugin for Skyrim that tracks corpses around you, and unobtrusively places markers on them on your compass so that you don’t miss any loot after mangling half a dozen bandits

Easy to understand demonstration on the mod page if that sounds confusing still. Inspired by stalker 2, really useful qol utility in that game

Customizable, performant, and script free

If that sounds neat to you, I’d love if you checked it out ! :\^)

Cheers

I am currently trying to download CSVO (revision 4 from the nexus collection through wabbajack, so I can be on 1.6.1170), but it keeps saying...

1 game file doesn't match (built against 1.6.1170.0; you have 1.6.1170.0)
Mismatched:
installscript.vdf

I have been searching for a solution for a few hours now and nothing I could find in other posts or anything has worked, not sure if this is an issue with the modlist or wabbajack itself, but it is saying there's a mismatch, then listing matching versions still, so I really don't know what to do at this point, anyone able to help?

still in need of good Skyrim LE mods of male femboy type armor/robes

or any homoerotic armor or robes mods that are skimpy but NOT bikini armor / nor replacers

Will appreciate any recommendations and suggestions as always

running into an issue where if there are more than 706 SKSE DLLs, the game will crash before the main menu. my mod build currently has 723 SKSE DLLs. a google search suggested setting bMaxStdio to 8192 (er "true" with latest engine fixes) or disable memory manager. Disabling memory manager had no affect. Recommendations?

Problem

I wanted to go back to 1.6.1170 so my Nexus mods would work. Reliquary stopped with steam denied depot 489831 and wouldn’t finish.

What worked

1. Close Steam, reopen it, and open the console with Win+R → steam://open/console.
2. Run these one at a time. Wait for each to say “Depot download complete” before the next:

​

   download_depot 489830 489831 8442952117333549665
   download_depot 489830 489832 8042843504692938467
   download_depot 489830 489833 1914580699073641964

These manifest IDs worked for me, but check them on SteamDB first.
3. The files don’t go to your game library drive. They go to steamapps\content\app_489830 on the drive where the Steam client itself is installed.
4. Depot 489832 gave “manifest unavailable” and left some files incomplete (one .bsa was 0 KB). Rerunning the same command several times finished it. Don’t copy anything until all three depots say complete.
5. Close Steam. Copy the contents of each depot folder (not the folders themselves) into your Skyrim folder, in the order 489831, 489832, 489833, replacing files.
6. Right-click SkyrimSE.exe → Properties → Details. The file version should be 1.6.1170.0.
7. In Steam, set Skyrim’s Updates to “Only update this game when I launch it”. Don’t use “Verify integrity”.

SKSE mistakes I made

• Vortex’s Play button failed with “Executable doesn’t exist: skse64_loader.exe” because SKSE wasn’t installed.
• I first installed the GOG SKSE build by mistake. It gave “This version of SKSE is compatible with the GOG version of the game”. The GOG archive is skse64_2_02_06_gog.7z with skse64_1_6_1179.dll. For Steam you need skse64_2_02_06.7z with skse64_1_6_1170.dll.
• The main download links on skse.silverlock.org only list builds for other versions (2.3.1 is for 1.7.104). The 1.6.1170 Steam build is on the archived builds page.
• Don’t use SKSEVR (the VR one).
• After that, Vortex’s Play button launched the game with SKSE fine.

​

   skse64_2_02_06.7z       2024-01-17 12:31  734K  

Result: the game runs on 1.6.1170 with SKSE 2.2.6 on Steam, and the mods work.

Hi everyone,

I am new to modding the SSE and just installed an ENB (NLA for nostalgia reasons).
Unfortunately, my vanilla grass is glowing at night, like in this picture. I cannot find the reason.

I also installed ENB Light 0.98 Alpha 2 and ENB Helper Updated, as well as the particle patch.

Can anyone help with this issue? I tried playing around in the ENB settings ingame but could not find anything that solves the issue. Without ENB the grass looks normal.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Hello everyone! I just finished building my first giant mod load order for Skyrim after completing my first playthrough and was hoping to get some advice on what I have so far (example) placement of mods and such. I appreciate any help that’s given in advance!

LOTD Entrance blocked by a wall in solitude.

I know this issue has been covered and everything I've seen says that it's USSEP, but I've tried the mod before, after, and without any other mods. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Please tell me the issue is something incredibly stupid that I've missed.

EDIT: Also, yes. I've been starting a new game every time.

Mods and Load Order: https://pastebin.com/Le4qweUZ

Planning to play skyrim for the first time in a few years, but there's an overwhelming amount of mods. I'm currently downloading NGVO with wabbajack as a base. What would you say are are the best current mods that play well with NGVO?

I've already decided I need QuickLoot. Precision looks interesting but does it work properly? Sentinel also looks great as I've always liked NordwarUA's armours, along with the accompanying Grimoire.

Looking for mods that add a mail order catalog that I can use to buy supply instead of having to run all over the holds or wait 48hr at a time to stock up on goods.

Basically I don’t exactly know what setting up a page file does so that’s the first question. the other is once I set it up and download lorerim onto it will all the other games I have on that SSD still run okay? Or will it have to turn into a lorerim only SSD?

I do have 32gb of ddr5 so I’m
Not worried about being able to run it without crashing the pc.

Any fix or presets tweak for this? i dont have any grass mods except for grass lighting which i've tried disabling but it still didnt fix it.

I have community shaders, azurite 3, skoglendi, azurite weathers and seasons, and elfx. My grass does not shade well. It doesnt look anchored into the ground if that makes sense. The grass is on the ground, it just has no ambient occlusion or whatever. I have screen space global illumination turned on and that adds some shadows, but not in the way that would make the grass look better. When there is cloud cover in my game the grass just looks super flat. Any suggestions or advice?

I'm going to attempt a guild build by claiming Fort Greymoor, claiming it (Neutral Civil War Forts mod), then establishing the site as a guild site (Sokco's Guild Starter), recruiting followers and setting up routines like guarding the gate, sleeping etc (My Home Is Your Home mod) and establishing ranger cabins around Skyrim for a short respite and resupply when a ranger team needs it (Ranger Cabins SSE).

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this or has recommendations to make this work using these mods or others, etc.

I look forward to establishing a guild with Agnes, a chef and a blacksmith in support of the rangers.

Any input would be appreciated. Let me know what you think.

I had a mod collection that I backed up on Vortex/Nexus almost 2 years ago. I'm just getting back into the game. I can't figure out if the collection will download the most updated version of those mods or not. If it doesn't, would I be better off doing them individually, or just updating them through Vortex after I download the whole collection??

We all know about al the mods aimed towards female characters and how you can create beautifull female characters in thousands of ways. But how about men? There have been several male comsetic mods but nearly all of them are for masculine men and femenine women, I havent found the propper male mods for what I want.

I want to create male characters that look like Sephiroth, like Leone Abbacchio or Narciso Anasui, I want my male characters to be fabulous. A pretty elven prince, a femenine male goth...

What are the best mods or presets for that look?

Modders and makers..... Looking for dark (non evil) door suitable for a very large castle. The keep uses Solitude assets and light grey stone with black marble edges. Ideally it should be large and dramatic. Similar to the holds palace gates, double is a plus! Happy to DL the mod for the image OC and will be noted in uses as requested.

Hi all, I'm in need of some help with an issue related to the Apothecary mod. Certain potions and poisons (seemingly minor potions of health, stamina, magicka and some weak poisons), are said to have an effect duration of "0 seconds" in the item description.

When used, it does apply the effect of the potion over a duriation of about 1 second. The effect is also applied when in menus, contradictory to Apothecary's features.

The mod's effects are correctly applied to crafted potions and poisons, this only seems to be an issue with ones which are found in the world or bought. I also do not have the Apothecary - 1 second restore mod installed.

I have posted my mod list below, any help in identifying the potential issue causing this would be appreciated!

Nothing gamebreaking or anything, but since installing Skylands AIO, Skylands Bits and Bobs, and Open Shaders, I have found that on occasion I get choppy framerates, dropping from 60 to mid-40s at worst. Considering I have a fairly new PC (RTX 5060 GPU), I'm curious if this issue is more on my side (i.e., my hardware is insufficient) or on Skyrim's side (i.e., engine / game issues).

I do have SSE Engine Fixes installed, but perhaps there's something else?

In terms of other hardware, I have an Intel Core 5 120 and 32GB ram. If it's on my end, I'd say its a GPU issue, since when I look in task manager I can see that GPU usage is in the 95%+ range when framerates fluctuate.
