Alternate Start - Live Another Life 4.2.1

About This File

Misery and despair have haunted you all your life. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, you've been arrested and thrown in the dungeons. Your trial was supposed to be weeks ago, only nobody has come for you. It's been so long since seeing daylight you no longer know what month it is anymore. The dungeon is cold, damp, and worse still, you're running out of food. At least you have that leak in the wall for water. It seems as though you've been forgotten, soon to rot away and die. The eight have forsaken you! Or... have they?

Live Another Life provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen. You will be given the opportunity to choose your race and then choose a new life for your character to lead. A wide variety of choices will be available. What you choose will have a lasting impact, so choose carefully or the gods may forsake you again!

Additional support has also been provided to allow you to extend Live Another Life with your own starts.

Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch to be installed first!


What's New in Version 4.2.1

Released

Updated USSEP synchronization.
Fixed a landscape anomaly at the Khajiit Caravan start location.

Guard Extension Example has also been updated for 1.6.1130.

Arthmoor only provides the latest version for download, which is what is available here.

Also, read this topic. There's no such thing as a "non-AE edition" of the game; it's still Skyrim Special Edition. AE is an optional downloadable package of CC content.

This is incorrect as any version before 1.6 does not have ANY AE content.Ā  Like many people who wanted to avoid upgrade problems until all or most of their mods had been upgraded, I disabled updates before SSE version 1.6 was out.Ā  Several major mods I use still don't have a new version yet and the new version is still being worked on.So, if no one wants to help or give advice, I am just asking if anyone knows where I can download version 4.1.5 of this mod.Ā  Is that really too much to ask?

Wow... I didn't really expect that from you.Ā  You have always been amiable in the past. I have asked twice (NOT in the OP).Ā  The second time was a clarification directed in frustration from all the contrary responses to a simple, non-intrusive question..

  1. I Did not ask for "support."Ā  In fact, I made it clear in my OP that I intended on troubleshooting this myself.Ā  I am quite capable of supporting myself. I was just asking in case someone had happened to have the same problem or knew what might cause it; it might save me some time.
  2. Plenty of people host previous versions of their mods... so I didn't really see any problem in asking.Ā  Sorry I stepped on your toes..

First of all, you don't have the latest version of the game through Steam.

This point is negated by your follow-up statement that it worked for you on this (1.6.342) version.

Also, as stated in the current Alternate Start - Live Another Life.txt from LAL 1.4.6 under Installation Requirements "Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.318 or greater".Ā 

Is 1.6.342 greater than or less than 1.6.318, Pete?

Quote

Second of all, what you're say isn't true, I didn't have that problem in my game before I updated to 1.6.353Ā the other day.

This point proves having 1.6.353 isn't needed so you're contradicting yourself while being snarky. What I said IS TRUE in my case otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time providing the feedback.

Quote

There's a chance that you and others with the described issue either don't have the mod near the bottom of your load order (like the instructions say you should)

This is false as I allowed LOOT to sort it then double checked to make sure it was near the very bottom since my reading skills are at least college level.

Quote

or you're at or extremely close to the limit of 512 plugins in your "Data" folder.

Also false as I'm currently running only 150 active plugins.

I would like the plugin to work which is why I installed it. I provided feedback that the dialogue options DO NO APPEAR after activating the statue of Mara which leaves me stuck in the prison.

You think I'm here to waste my time making up stories for entertainment? Couple of you really need an attitude adjustment based on all these replies to your users.

If you simply want to blame us for YOUR product not working then might I suggest you just delete the forum for support altogether since you obviously don't want to support it by placing the blame on everyone else that provides you with feedback.

idk, mate. it works 100% fine for me. ive never had this issue with the options missing. i follow arthmoor's instructions and it works.

several posts earlier, someone mentions something RE: adjusting hotkeys in MCM/SkyUI causing a similar issue.

also: have you tried loading the game with ONLY (and i truly mean only) the base game + all DLC + USSEP + ASLAL? not even SKSE. not even SkyUI. not even MCM. nothing else. just those two plugins?

creation club content should not affect anything regarding this mod. key word: SHOULD. the 4 that comes with SSE for free might be the only ones that even have a chance.

maybe you need to look into your ini files? the mod obviously works. Arthmoor does good work.

That was me and this *is* an issue with SkyUI making dialogue disappear. There is nothing wrong with ASLAL.

Ā 

Edited to say: skse claims they fixed this issue in the latest update. I have not seen the issue repeat, but also have not fully tested it.

Something's messed up, that's for sure. I select the statute, and the game CTD's every time. I've disabled XPMSE, same result. Disabled LOTD, same result. I've moved it to the very bottom of the load order, same result. I even reinstalled USSEP to see if it was a dependency issue, same result. At this point, the only thing I haven't tried is starting the game without it.

for me, with LOTD patches, the statue wouldn't insitate dialogue. No crashea, just can't use ASLAL with LOTD parches. After enabiling and disabling eveyrthing, it's the LOTD the mess it up for me.

I hope you can resolve whatever got you to leave nexus mods. This site is trash. Feels like im back in 2003 trying to mod morrowind. You have a lot of great mods the world needs to see!

have you tried disabling every single plugin EXCEPT USSEP and ASLAL (and i mean literally every single one) and then trying it again? and no other mods either? no SKSE at all? no DLL mods? no ENB Series? no re-shader? nothing. no other modifications at all in any way, shape, or form, including texture and mesh replacers?

until you can show that the mod fails in these conditions: it isn't this mod's fault.

Trying to set up Skyrim AE on a new system. Added this mod because I like the chance to start in different places. Everything seems to be OK but I get an odd error message in LOOT. The message refers to the .espĀ  Bathing in Skyrim SE - Alternate Start.esp

and reads "This plugin contains records that have FormIDs outside the valid range for an ESL plugin. Using this plugin will cause irreversible damage to your game saves."

OK, but it's an esp, not an esl. Doesn't that make a difference? Should I ignore the error message or remove the esp?

@Bartlett Bob

a file with the extension ESP can still be flagged as an ESL within the file header. this is usually done in xEdit.Ā 

furthermore: youre asking for support for a different mod... sure it is a compatibility patch.. but this has nothing to do with Arthmoor.Ā 

Ā id recommend asking whomever uploaded that compatibility patch instead.

You can get all of the creation club content before 1.6.x.

most.. there's at least one 1.6+ exclusive. fishing. mind you, i havent checked the CC store to see if they added that. not that would matter cuz if anyone downloads the live version of SE from steam it will be 1.6+ and come with fishing.

arthmoor adamantly only supports the live version of the game. and for very good reasons. so, arthmoor (as well as others on the team) will make the mods assuming that the user has the live version installed. (unless otherwise specified)

I have been having trouble with getting this mod to work. every time I try to enable it it says "this mod cannot be installed since it depends on files hat aren't present"

I have tried to extract it through WinRAR but it sill does not work (yes the files are in the data folder in the 'local files' of Skyrim)

Please help me I would love to use this mod!

I use PC btw

@kacchan2029

the only files you should need are all the base DLC (dawnguard, dragonborn, hearthfire) and the unofficial skyrim special edition patch (USSEP). (and update.esm)

why is it a 7Z file instead of a regular .zip file?
