As an avid enjoyer of the Alternate Start mod for the Class/Legendary Edition version of Skyrim, I decided to boot up a new save on my new PC with all my old mods re-downloaded. I decided to pick the option where you start as a Werewolf in Solstheim. I did all I wanted and now I'm ready to touch the cold shores of Skyrim once again, particularly because one of the major quests asks me to. I run over to our trusty captain, pay the fare, and... I don't go anywhere. After a short, black loading screen, I end up precisely where I was when I paid the captain. I decide to Fast Travel to Skyrim using the button on the map—same issue. I decide to COC myself to Windhelm—interestingly enough, it will send me to Windhelm, but only to interiors? I try COCing around all of Skyrim and it only puts me inside buildings. The even stranger part? When I try to leave an interior and go the exterior of Skyrim, same deal: I open the door to load back in to the door I just tried to leave through. Doing some digging, I download the Open Cities mods, reload my save, and try again. No help.

So now, I beg for help! I cannot find another post with my issue and I cannot find a solution. Again, to TL;DR, every time I try to travel anywhere that isn't Solstheim, I end up at Solstheim UNLESS I teleport inside another building—in which case, I still cannot leave that building out to Skyrim. It seems like my game cannot pull up Skyrim as an option for me to travel to. To be precise, when I try to travel via fast travel, in-game transport, or console command COC, if my designated location is Skyrim, I can only end up in an interior and I can never actually make it to the open map of Skyrim.

I will also add, unfortunately, I do have a shit-ton of mods. However, I don't have any drastic Skyrim/Terrain/Exploration overhauls! Almost every one of my mods is purely for the gameplay/QOL, not changing Skyrim itself. 

Please help! I will try to be as helpful as I can!

Load order is 

HDT Physics Extension

FNIS

FNISPCEA2

dinthairpack

NetImmerseOverride

XPMSE

No matter which installation I use for XPMSE (Basic, Extended, etc.) game crashes after combat, when I try to open my inventory or enemie's inventory.

I revert back to the installation I got first, before I installed everything new:

RagdollPlugin

HDT Physics Extension

FNIS

FNISPCEA2

dinthairpack

XPMS

I get the same result. In my former installation this worked like a charm without crashes.

I think I narrowed it down: If I use the XPMS(E) Skeletons without HDt Physics and vanilla hair, everything works fine. I use UNP body. I tried also the crash fix for hdt physics (SKSE Plugin).

What am I overlooking? What is the correct installation order (I use MO 1.2.18)? I use other animation mods like player headtracking, hood animations, immersive broom sweeping, let your hair down - all after FNIS and these run fine. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you and greetings from Tasheni.

Maybe someone can point me into the right direction - I'm somewhat out of ideas after trying for two days 
Thanks in advance. 

I wanted to increase the payout for Companion radiant quests, so I modified the CompanionsRadiantQuest.psc script. Here’s the new if-block I added:

int level = Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()
if     (level < 10) 
  RewardAmount = 500 
elseif (level < 20) 
  RewardAmount = 600 
elseif (level < 30) 
  RewardAmount = 700 
elseif (level < 40) 
  RewardAmount = 800 
elseif (level < 50) 
  RewardAmount = 900 
else 
  RewardAmount = 1000 
endif

I compiled the script using the Papyrus Compiler CLI. Initially, I had issues with compilation, but I got it working after placing the TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg file in the Skyrim directory and passing it as a parameter to the CLI using the -f flag.

I tried placing the compiled .pex file in both:

• /Data/scripts
• /Data/scripts/Scripts

However, no matter what I try, I still only get 150 gold as a reward.

The original script contained a faulty if-block with three < 20 checks, and I read somewhere that the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (USLEEP) fixes this bug. Since I am using USLEEP, I suspect that it might be overriding my modified script. If this is the case, I’m not sure how to ensure that my version of the script takes priority over the patch.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to use/install FNIS Animations mods with Project New Reign - Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine ?

Or.... what archery mods do you prefer, anyone who's still here? 

If you pass the shrine and do not loot his corpse during your first visit, his body will disappear once the area respawns, making his ring unattainable if you are collecting the missing college apprentices' various items.

I don't know what it means to "pass the shrine" because no matter how I've handled traversing the geography, the Argonian mage was never there. Just lots of blood, skeevers and a few scrolls. Now, in SSE, the same conditional loss of IIas-Tei still seems to exist, except the quest is now active, and I'll not be able to complete it. Somehow I'll never understand, IIas-Tei has performed his disappearing act again, which leaves me with three items stuck in my inventory and an un-erasable quest entry in my log.

Is this fixable by patch, or will it just need to remain one of Skyrim's charming quirks?

Note: "Confirmed" means you can use the Creation Kit's settings editor to override the setting's value. Other settings were dumped from TESV.exe and must be added with xEdit to override their values.

I don't know if I have it installed right for skyrim le ? 

I would really like to use this in le skyrim,. and a version linked in the post was said to ok for skyrim le ?

Recorded with enb and a ton of other mods.

Ship is sailable and the wheel activator and the doors move to the right place, when player toggles the anchor. Two ship interior cells I can enter, but not exit anymore.

1: I can toggle sails and anchor and start sailing. Sometimes when I exit sailing with the e key, player gets stuck and nothing but quit the game helps - it worked fine, but suddenly stops working.

2:There are problems with SetVehicle. I placed an XMarker in front of the shipswheel, but player is always attached outside the ship. When I start to sail. player is moved to the middle of the ship. When I exit sailing and activate the shipswheel again, player is positioned right. How can I get the player fixed? I don't really understand how SetVehicle works, because the XMarker is not moving with the ship?

3: I can enter my ship interior, but there is no activator to leave the cell. I guess this is due to the system the whole thing is setup.

If you have any ideas, please read on. I explain now the setup and will post the used script:

Setup: A dummy cell that includes the static ship with furled sails, an XMarker as movement point, two invisible actors and two load doors.

On water: the movable ship with unfurled sails, an XMarker to attach the player to the ship with SetVehicle, and invisible activator at the shipswheel.

If player activates the wheel, a messagebox pops up: Toggle sail and anchor or start/stop sailing. If player toggles the anchor, the static ship spawns from the dummy cell at the exact place of the movable ship, the doors are moved to the right place at the ship, the movable ship moves to dummy cell marker. Sails are furled and player can now go inside.

If player starts sailing, the doors and the wheel activator are moved to the dummy cell. Player gets attached to the movable ship. When pressing e key, sailing stops, the activator moves from dummy cell back to the wheel.

If there is a better solution to achieve my goals, please tell me. And if you want to help me scripting, this is much appreciated.

I do not understand everything the script does. It's all trial and error for me. The values for the translation and distance of the invisible actors i.e. I simply tried different values until it worked.

What do you say? Screenshots here: https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/gallery/album/149-tashenis-the-isles-of-teia/

But I can't find The Paarthurnax Dilemma on the Nexus at all, and When Vampires Attack and Run for your Lives always have their scripts marked as STOPPED in the MCM and don't seem to work at all.

So where could I find the latest versions of these mods for SLE, and his other mods? Here, I hope!

I have:

The Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp dated 16/09/2015 (UK dd/mm/yyyy)

The Paarthurnax Dilemma.bsa dated 22/09/2015

The Paarthurnax Dilemma.bsl dated 22/09/2015

When Vampires Attack and Run For Your Lives from October 2015

Provincial Courier Service from 2013 works fine, but that is also nowhere to be found on The Nexus for SLE.

I tried Cutting Room Floor a while back (about 2018), but that also did not seem to work, presumably as I was using individual Unofficial Patches rather than USLEEP?

I have the latest official patch, SKSE and SkyUI for SLE.

Cheers!

This script is attached to the alias of my follower Ruby in a script started quest. It works very good. With Alternate Start from Arthmoor activated. With only vanilla Skyrim it works very good. Until I open racemenu with the console and change my character. After closing racemenu, script is no longer working.

I tested without MO. I tested without changing character, saved the game, shut down, load the game and the save and script runs fine. So it must have to do with racemenu (not the mod racemenu! I don't use). I tested on a start enabled quest. Same result, script stops working. What happens here and what can I do to make that work?

And a second problem occurs: I wrote my playerhorse now follows fine again, but that is only partially true, like I just now discovered. It works fine if I use Alternate Start. When I use only vanilla Skyrim, the NPC walks away as soon as I tell her to wait. The horse stays, like she should. A script changes the wait globalvariable to 1, package stack is evaluated for horse and npc and the stay package has the wait globalvariable set as condition as well as a quest stage set. There is no package everywhere that could fire in this quest stage. Why does it work with Alternate Start? And not with vanilla?

It's really tiring. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Update: Playerhorse now behaves correctly. CK didn't save my property and I overlooked it.

Surprisingly I had issues this time with dialogue not triggering and some minor things, I could fix. What I can't fix, is the player horse. After player has talked to her, she transforms from a horse player can talk to to a ridable horse. And then she simply walks away to where I have placed her ingame with ck. But there is no AI package that tells her to move away. Instead she should follow the player. I deleted all packages of her and tried again, on a new game, with no effort. I tried to attach a sandbox package either to the alias or directly to the actor, or both. There is no change in her behavior. I deleted the sandbox and follow packages and created them new. Looks like game is not updating my changes (but when I change a script, messages show up right).

Looks like she runs an AI that doesn't exist. How can I find out, what AI is actually running on her? After spending the last two days with going through Helgen Intro to fix all of the issues I would really be glad to find a solution.

I could delete the horse and place it new, but she has so many linked references that this would take an amount of time, too

What I simply don't understand is, that the intro with Ruby and the horse behavior got broken, despite I changed nothing on that part and it worked always - with a ton of mods installed or without. How is that possible?

Any suggestions and help is much appreciated.

I am using the quest mod Clockwork and I have now found out that Keld-Nar in the "Arthmoor's Skyrim villages - All in one" mod conflicts with clockwork. Keld-Nar and Velothi Mountain tunnels are using the same world space so the village placement and the velothi cave entrance are messed up. Is there a way to make them compatible. I see there may have been patches in the past but now since Arthmoor has deleted all his mods from Nexus and basically everywhere else, there is no patches. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,

Most of the mods i installed for that game had to be scrubbed clean of certain Skyrim records in order to avoid a boatload of unresolved errors, mostly those associated with Container, Cell and Worldspace records.  I did all this before starting my actual play through in order to eliminate the chance that it might mess up my saves.

Unfortunately, i realized today that one mod (a skimpy armor replacer) somehow slipped through the net and might very well be a ticking time bomb in my load order with all the unresolved references it contains.  I'm not only talking about the regular records i mentioned above but also more tricky stuff like leveled lists that seem to serve no purpose.

This is the dilemma i'm facing right now.  Do i take the risk of breaking things by removing those broken records, leveled lists included, in an existing save or do i leave well enough alone which could mean that sooner or later my game is going to become unstable?  For what it's worth, i'm fifty hours in and i have yet to encounter a crash, infinite loading screen or other game breaking bug.

Long story short, what would be the recommended course of action?

Ingame, around the player, the closer terrain and objects are fully rendered, meaning they are using regular full-poly (and eye-candy) meshes. For short: the more all this stuff is distant from the player, the more it is replaced with simplified meshes in order to save performance. As the distance from the player increases, the LOD goes from 4 (very detailed), then 8 (less detailed), then 16 (even less detailed), and then finally 32 (poorly detailed).

LOD files are present in the 'Skyrim - Meshes.bsa' archive. DLCs also bring their own LOD files in their dedicated archives.

Once you have extracted the archives, and for the tamriel worldspace, you can find :

• a bunch of files in meshes/terrain/tamriel with the '.btr' extension type. They are the landscape LOD meshes.
• a bunch of files in meshes/terrain/tamriel/objects with the '.bto' extension type. They are the objects LOD meshes (mainly rocks and buildings)

Both can be opened in Nifskope , but let's have a look at the objects '.bto' files. Their names obey to a kind of logic : they're all named TamrielN.X.Y.bto, where N is the accuracy of the LOD (from 4/very detailed, 8, 16 and 32/poorly detailed), and X and Y are the coordinates on the map. The problem is : is there a way to know in which .bto file I can find a specific building/town ? The answer is YES !

I made custom maps for the level 4, 8, 16, 32 LOD files in order to save a lot of time when looking for the coordinates.

All maps for both Skyrim and Solstheim are available at nexus here for Legendary Edition and here for Special Edition. As this is a modder's resource/helper, the files are absolutely identical for both SLE and SSE...

I hope this can be useful for modders who are interested about LOD in these worldspaces.

If you have suggestions for improvements or conveniency, feel free to express.
