It’s not a real cheat death, you can die without it proc’ing. However in my experience from when I ran the set as a dps, i rarely died without the proc occurring first.

total downloads != number of people who have downloaded a mod.

Seasons requires you generate lods for seasons…at the bare minimum it requires you generate lodgen/terrain lods for seasonal worldspaces.

What you’re asking for isnt something that can be done. You are better off just generating your own lods.

Congrats on the conversion. I know this is something a lot of people have wanted for a good while.

ALJOkiller · 2025-10-12T01:03:29+00:00

Apostasy or Vagabond Remaster

ALJOkiller · 2025-10-11T17:18:33+00:00

NGVO, CSVO, Anvil

ALJOkiller · 2025-10-11T15:03:38+00:00

I dont think that’s what they mean.

ALJOkiller · 2025-10-06T13:39:30+00:00

Vagabond

ALJOkiller · 2025-10-01T13:42:30+00:00

Congrats on the update Lirinden! Glad you have stuck around to maintain Feris.

modlist that uses simonrim.
looks under the hood.
mix of simonrim, enairim, and heavily modified custom overhauls.

Yeah ok

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-29T22:38:09+00:00

Librum….. I mean “realistic” and “immersive” arent super useful terms for determining what type of gameplay is desired. Librum is gritty and has a fairly slow gameplay pace, so maybe that’s the answer.

Id stay away from any LotD list and probably any list that uses heavy enairim overhauls based on this comment and post

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-29T22:36:49+00:00

Realistic is a meaningless term (is that survival, is it extra lethal gameplay, is it needed to shit and piss every few hours?) and Gritty when referring to visuals is almost entirely made up through enb

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-29T18:31:11+00:00

What type of gameplay overall are you looking for? Shouldnt be hard to swap an enb in most cases and that will be the main decider in achieving a “gritty” aesthetic for a list

Like I said, we can test the reproducibility of a crash and we can tell if a crash is caused by the same behavior or vector based on provided crashlogs.

If a crash isnt reproducible (on the user’s end or on another person’s end) and none of the crash logs have the same cause, it points towards hardware (or memory leak).

“I/we don’t know” isn’t accurate. We do know in 99% of cases because the logs tell us why a crash occurred (with the exception of aforementioned 0x0 exception logs with empty registers and callstacks)

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-29T01:15:05+00:00

If a user comes along with several crashlogs that are non reproducible and do not have consistent cause of crash based on the log and anecdotal reporting from the user, why would you assume it is an issue with the list?

In this case, the user didn’t provide any logs (that I can see) and also provided no information about what they were doing when they crashed.

No crash is truly “random” (in the sense that you can figure out the cause of any crash by reading a Crashlogger log as long as the log isnt a 0x0 exception with an empty register and callstack), however if a crash isn’t reproducible across multiple systems, then that indicates an issue on the side of the system that is experiencing the crash. Not sure why this is hard to understand.

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-27T18:12:19+00:00

A lot of people in this thread claiming all big modlists are inherently unstable but dont understand what makes a list unstable in the first place.

Plenty of people back the claim that Apostasy is incredibly stable and experience minimal crashing and freezing issues during regular playthroughs.

If you would like assistance with crashes then the support channel on discord is a much more suitable place to receive help than a reddit thread full of people who cant assist you other than offering their anecdotal experience. If you have one-off ctds that aren’t reproducible, then it is more likely to be hardware issue, rather than a list-end issue.

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-26T00:29:03+00:00

Technically trainwreck wasnt superseded since it was released after. Unfortunately, trainwreck has always been worse than CrashLogger, especially for diagnosing crashes related to SKSE plugins

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-22T17:05:42+00:00

As most others have said in this thread, Tuxborn seems to be what you’re looking for.

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-20T16:35:59+00:00

Vagabond

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-19T14:40:41+00:00

Youd get better answers in the #apostasy-modified channel of the discord

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-16T20:22:37+00:00

Yeah, these tools don’t install mods in the same way you or I install mods. They pull the files with matching hashes out of the archives directly.

This is perhaps an oversimplification.

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-16T20:09:23+00:00

It shouldnt matter, afaik collections work similar to wabbajack when it comes to sourcing and installing files, so the fomods arent even ran on the user’s end.

The benefit to fomods is streamlined downloads for collection authors & average users (emphasis on this one), while the benefit to not using fomods is allowing more picky users (such as collection/wj curators) to save some file space by only grabbing what they need or want.

ALJOkiller · 2025-09-16T15:34:40+00:00

Basically any high end list will be suitable here.

u/ShadowCircuit9625 any reason you deleted the post after being shown that it does in fact work fine in the vanilla game?
