I stumbled upon this guide in a comment section on this reddit, and thought more people should know about it.

It's a list, by Glanzer, of tons of mods for a good guy playthrough, lots of alternative routes or endings for quests you are traditionally a bad guy in.

The Skyrim modding community is a leader in the larger modding community. The increase in AI slop mods is not just in Skyrim. But, this sub is a popular place for information sharing and discussion for new and current modders. I think the sub has an opportunity to come together and share the negative consequences of allowing AI slop mods remaining unchecked with little quality control by Nexus.

What would it look like for us to do a letter or petition from this sub to encourage better Nexus quality control?

EDIT:
Please don’t just comment “AI bad” the goal was to talk about opportunities for this sub.

Not to ban AI, but to encourage additional quality control measures. Lots of recent good suggestions by this community.

I didn’t see anyone saying they wanted to come together as a sub so I posted this.

Hi y'all!

I am currently reworking my main mod list after oh so many years (my MO2 installation up until now survived several computers, hardware changes and a switch from Windows 10 to Linux)

Up until now I have just been modifying my Proton Prefix and install MO2 on there but I came across Fluoride Manager which is a Linux fork of ModOrganizer. Has anyone tested it? Would it be a good 1-to-1 replacement (meaning I just chuck my modlist at it and let it run)?

Title says it all. Long time modder but first time Dyndolod user. After a few days of research I am wondering if I can shave off some dyndolod generation time and prevent any conflicts by doing as the title suggests: installing first only mods that would be affected/affect LODs, grass, etc. THEN installing my quest, gameplay, audio etc mods afterwards (making sure that Dyndolod and its dependencies have the correct load order afterwards of course).

I could get away with doing this, right? The reason why is, as stated, I don’t want to build out this entire list, then run it, and it be caught up with an error that prevents it after having the program run for hours.

Just as the title suggests. I'm a huge fan of standalone Followers, as well as basic NPCs improved by speech expansions of all sorts (and we are in something of a golden age for these). While I have tremendous fondness for female Followers (I site Remiel, Auri, Jenna/Katya, Eris, Ashe, Serana SDA, Katana, Thogra and Yazakh as absolute joys to run and regular additions to my load order, and I've had fun with Rin and Is during the past week or so), I do love male Followers, perhaps because their numbers are fewer (although I have Kaidan, Xelzaz, Lucien, Gore, Bjorn, the expanded Sinding, Taliesin, Caryalind Thallery, Redcap, and others in my permanent list).

All I'm curious about is, are there any planned or forthcoming male Followers that are in the works? Gentlemen I can look forward to adding in future runs? (I believe I'm aware of all current male Followers, but if one has dropped in the past few months please don't hesitate to mention him.)

Grateful thanks for any information you can provide!

Okay so I'll bite. I see people say there are some incredible SFW mods hosted exclusively on loverslab. I've never actually looked at it because I thought it was all mods for horny teenagers.

Which SFW mods are worth looking at on LL??

Just wanted to announce here, after I tested it myself, that the mod Dynamic Grip works for vanilla combat. It even works with modded animations (I am using KG Two handed) and precision.

Ive been searching for a mod that will let me simulate what CGO used to, that is, quickly swap between a spell in my left hand and a two handed weapon in both hands (like dark souls lets you do).

This mod allows for it! All you have to do is equip your two hander, press G to go one handed, and then put a spell in your left hand, then press G again to go back and forth between two handed and one handed with spell. I actually prefer it to the old CGO way because now you gotta put in a tad more effort manually swapping between spell mode and two handed mode.

Only bug I encountered so far is that, if your left hand is empty, then you cant switch back to two handed. Which isnt an issue for me since as a spellsword Ill always have a spell ready in my offhand.

It seems to also function with the spellsword based perks from Ordinator. Very happy!

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a new Skyrim setup and I'm interested in running Community Shaders together with Seasons of Skyrim, while also making use of PBR texture packs where available.

Most of the discussions and showcases I've found seem to pair Seasons of Skyrim with ENB, so I'm having a hard time finding information from people running this specific combination with Community Shaders instead.

A few questions:

• How well do Community Shaders and Seasons of Skyrim work together these days?
• Are there any compatibility issues when adding PBR textures into the mix?
• Are there any texture mods that work particularly well (or should be avoided) when using Community Shaders + Seasons?
• Do you have any favorite Community Shaders presets or lighting/weather combinations that complement this setup?
• Any general tips, load order considerations, or mods that you think really improve the overall experience?

I'm aiming for a modern-looking game without going the ENB route, so I'd love to hear from anyone using a similar setup or who has experimented with it.

Thanks in advance!

Generating facegen isn't exactly complex. The issue is that characters list in CK shows literally everything, including draugrs, so you can't just ctrl+a to select all, and generate the facegen. You need to manually select actual NPCs, which takes time, and is best done race by race.

Is there any better way to do it? I have been told you can create a helper plugin with xEdit that has NPCs that you care about, then it pretty much becomes one click operation, but preparing that plugin is also time consuming.

Among the current deluge of AI mod authors, there is one on the Nexus trending page right now who has been releasing AI-generated mods non-stop for a week. That's 25 mods per week or 3-4 mods per day.

Even if LLMs generated the mods instantly, how do they have enough time to test and verify their mods? How do they have enough time instrument with sufficient sample size to prove the tiny purported performance and stability improvements? Of course, if people encounter problems, they just say their mod is still work in progress.

When asked by a user if they need to run Pandora or Nemesis to use their "Modern NPC Pathing" mod, they said:

not sure [sic] id do it anyways to make sure

How do you NOT know if your mod requires regenerating animation behaviors? You literally need to create specific files in folders named "Nemesis_Engine" or "Pandora_Engine" to use the tools.

When asked by a user if their "Nextgen Disk Cache" mod supports v1.5.97, they said:

probably not

This is despite their AI-generated thumbnail saying "SUPPORTS SE 1.5.97 & AE 1.6+ (GOG)". When confronted about this, they said:

it's always reassuring when mod "commentors" comments a useless comment. I dont have older skyrim copies so I cant test it myself I cant guarantee it

How do you NOT know if you defined 1.5.97 hooks and offsets in your SKSE plugin?

source

A lot of their mods are just running the ai over other people's existing mods. UnjustHarry (u/DrCubed), the original creator of "Save and Load Accelerator for SKSE Cosaves - S.L.A.C.K." commented them on their "Save and Load Accelerator for SKSE Cosaves (Continued)" mod:

Please, at the very least, have the decency to use a different name for your fork. The original (and entirely human-made) mod was never discontinued in the first place. I don't want my name, nor the fruits of my efforts, associated with misanthropic usage of LLM technology,"

they went on to disrespect the original author they took from:

Your mod was made under "BSD Zero Clause License" so its not what you want its what you put lol you already opened the permissions so idk what to tell you. Your last update was made 6 months ago. I tested both mods and my mod has improvements over yours. Why overcomplicate it... This LLM virtue signaling is getting old.

source

Some of these comments have been deleted.

Is this person just letting LLMs do everything and releasing untested code to users to test?

I've installed it using this guide, it transitions to a black screen and then closes by itself in a couple seconds. Skyrim is installed in C/programmefilesx64. Running as administrator doesn't fix it either

I have a mod that you can ask a follower to move out of the way if they are blocking a door but is there a mod that will stop them from stepping in front of you when you're trying to attack an enemy? IMO nothing is more annoying than when your sneaking around, have that perfect kill shot lined up with your bow and arrow and your follower stops right in front of you blocking your shot.

So I think with a mod, maybe Unofficial patch or something else, a woman will speak to me in the Windhelm prison after I have been arrested, she says something along the lines of that I need to earn my freedom. But nothing pops up, no quest or anything, I can walk out the prison with no bounty. Interestingly the woman has seemingly vanilla dialogue, it doesn't sound edited or AI generated.

This has me thinking though. Is there any mod like this? Either restoring this content and letting me fight for my freedom or adding something similar?

I know there are arena mods, and I could technically RP with that one Windhelm arena mod(I forget its name) but it would be so much better to actually do that, without having to RP it.

Is there ANYTHING like this? Doesn't even have to be prison related, maybe I'm captured by Bandits or something and they make me fight for their amusement. I'll even take NSFW mods if that's the only option.

I appreciate the help.

So I completed The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, which is made more straightforward with this mod. The horn was actually there, so I could take it straight to the Greybeards without making the detour to riverwood. Of course I assume this is part of AYOP since the point of the mod is taking breaks between quests and not being pushed into everything. However, I’m not sure how to start A Blade in the Dark now. I’ve tried talking to Arngeir, Delphine, and waiting for a letter or something to no avail. I’ve tried looking up a guide or something, but I’m only finding download pages, general descriptions, and reviews that don’t go in depth or anything.

When playing Lorerim (or using the Wheeler mod), you may find that you can change Wheeler settings in the dMenu, but that the changes have no effect. There is a "Save" button on the bottom right, but it is off-screen, so you cannot press it. To resolve:

1. In the dMenu (pagedown to open for me), go to the "Settings" tab.
2. Uncheck "Lock Position".
3. You can now freely resize and move the dMenu window. Do so, and tinker until you can see the "Save" button on the bottom right.

I spent an hour searching and trying to figure out a solution, and I don't think there is an answer online (at least not one that's accessible via a search engine), thus this post. Hope it helps folks in the future. Credit to an old comment on the Lorerim discord that pointed me in the right direction.

I’m loving this modlist, but I can’t interact with certain things as the one argonian race (the itty bitty one) is there anyone else who has this issue too?

This is genuinely getting exhausting at this point.

Around half a year ago I download Nolvus and the loading screens are full of AI slop images that look terrible, AI voice acting too, awesome. Puts a bad taste in my mouth that sours the experience.

Fast-forward to today, I feel the skyrim itch. I hear about renowned modpack Lorerim, give it a download and it's EVEN WORSE then Nolvus when it comes to AI, it's influence is absolutely everywhere.

I would genuinely rather have chicken scratch placeholder drawings then these AI slop images for the love of god. Please, is there any mod packs that aren't filled to the brim with this stupid shit?

As the title says, anytime anyone shoots a bow, the arrow will have a trail of blue fire following it, complete with smoke vfx, this will persist until it hits something or lands somewhere, but i cannot for the life of me pinpoint the reason.

For the record, i do not have Mihails bone colossus installed, i know that has had similar issues in the past.

Modlist WIP here: https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/wip-modlist-2

Very simply, I am trying to give a custom follower an HDT SMP hairstyle. Ive tried doing it in Creation Kit, but CK crashes when I select the modded hair. It loads and allows me to swap the vanilla hair just fine.

What do? Any better way to do this?

Id like to make this a mod that I could upload

I just completed the first part of the Sarthaal quest and now need to speak with the Arch Mage.

His waypoint is in his quarters, but when I get there, his waypoint is outside his quarters.

I think this is because of the updated mage quarters of Obscure’s College mod.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am looking for a healer follower for the party. Which do you think best as a healer? Toccata and Cerwiden are obvious options. Some of the big names can heal too but I want someone who is primarily a healer

I wanted a collection of mods that makes my character and all NPCs prettier, I once downloaded a collection called Immersive & Adult because of the thumb, but I don't know if the mods didn't worked for me or if it wasn't what I was looking for, but the NPCs and my character was still ugly.
