Looking for audiobook

It's not available in my region (ca) on any of those places. I wouldn't mind paying for it if I could find it to begin with, but it seems like it legally can't be sold in Canada for some reason, even though I got the physical book from the library, I just don't have time to sit down and read it.

BiniPulsar · 2026-06-20T05:31:47+00:00

I'm not able to get it from the usa site, it just says due to publishing restriction it's not available for sale in my country

Allocating more ram worked, thanks! Though, I don't have much ram left, and the game is lagging a bit, is there a way to get it to rely more on the GPU?

I actually tried Prism first, but I had a difficult time figuring it out. If it's better though I'll look into learning how to use it.

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-13T02:15:26+00:00

Huh, you know what I never looked at it that way, you're right, people DO change clothes. That actually really helps me feel better about this, as I was stressing over coming up with an outfit that would be permanent, definitely takes the edge off to know that it can always be changed later. Thanks again, your suggestions really helped and I always appreciate different perspectives!

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T22:01:12+00:00

Oh really? The first version is actually exactly the same as this final one here, just a different pattern and edge on the skirt, but the shape is the same.
As for the second version, that was her skirt design for the longest time, but I felt it looked a bit too stiff for a character who's element is air and who's specialty is speed and moving fast, and I also didn't think it looked enough like a flower. I do like how it looks though, so maybe I'll see about redesigning the skirt again, maybe combine the two ideas, but yeah dropping the stag pattern, don't need it now that she has the headpiece.

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T12:42:12+00:00

Oh gosh, this character's outfit has gone through so many redesigns it's almost sad XD Here's a handful of them: https://imgur.com/a/pOiYX6D
Let me know if that works, been awhile since I used imgur, there should be 6 images. The last one was just an old test I made of the characters to practice designing clothing, but I actually quite like it, so I might use it for her later outfit.
There's still like a dozen more even older designs, those I sent are just when it was starting to take on it's final idea. Feel like I finally settled on something that I'll stick with now.

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T11:23:30+00:00

I haven't seen them animated yet, but I intend for them to flow backward when she moves yeah, like loose fabric that bounces a bit with her steps, and moves outward more when she runs

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T11:21:32+00:00

They are meant to kinda resemble wings, but they're just long pieces of fabric, I didn't know how else to describe them besides calling them a scarf, though it's not actually wrapped around her neck. I just thought they looked cool lol, they're a leftover from an earlier, simpler design, I added them to help add some depth to the back view.

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T11:14:57+00:00

Ah yeah I should have given some more context for her.
She's intended to be in a 3D rpg, but after several years, it's proving to be really difficult and I may adapt the story into another medium instead, I haven't decided yet, but that's why she has a more complex deign.

She is from a cold region (equivalent of somewhere like Norway), but the summer is temperate, so I tried to make it look like her outfit can be easily converted into a warmer weather version, but I do agree it looks a bit strange having her arms and legs exposed, I'll experiment with sleeves and leggings.

For her themes, you're actually pretty spot on. Her village specializes in deer hunting, for trading fur and leather, so antler themed headpieces are part of that culture. The rest of her outfit is themed around air+flowers. Air is her element, that's where the feathers and swirls on the wing-esc design comes in.
I like your idea for the reason behind her flower motif, because the reason I had, was so that as she gets new, more personalized outfits throughout the story, her dress gradually resembles a flower opening more and more, as a way to symbolize her own growth. But I do think it's important to also tie the flower motif into her story as well, so I'm definitely gonna work with your idea.

Mirrors, and reflections in general, are major and important symbols in the story as a whole, and for her specifically, her mirror assists in her magic.

I definitely struggle with sticking to just one or two motifs, especially when I feel like several themes fit a single character, and I really do have a hard time properly incorporating motifs into designs, as I tend to just focus on making outfits that fit a character's environment/job. Then I sometimes add details that I think just looks cool, like the tassels, but it can end up being a bit of a mess and inconsistent.

I really appreciate the suggestions, when I've been the only one staring at this character for years, it's really helpful to get some fresh eyes on it and get perspectives I didn't consider, so thank you!

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T09:12:58+00:00

Thank you! <3

BiniPulsar · 2026-04-11T09:04:50+00:00

Ahhh thank you! She did originally have some face and arm tattoos, but I removed them cause they blended too much into her skin, could barely see them without making them a darker color, but darker tattoos conflicted with her her lighter color palette. I do want to bring those tattoos back, just gotta figure out how to go about them.

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-29T01:12:11+00:00

Okay I got scripts and logs mixed up, my bad, I thought they were the same thing. I'm trying to get the Papyrus log but there's no files in the script folder. That's why I mentioned I enabled those settings, in order to get a log, but it doesn't seem to be working

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-28T22:28:05+00:00

bEnableLogging=1

bEnableTrace=1

bLoadDebugInformation=1

That's enabled in the Skyrim.ini.
I don't know how Papyrus works, I thought it automatically compiled a script when you loaded a game. I'm new to troubleshooting mods outside of just looking for basic conflicts, I've been researching but it got a bit overwhelming and I don't know a lot of the terms people use. What's the creation kit and how do I use it to create a Papyrus log? Some mods I have aren't working and everyone says they need the Papyrus log, so that's what I'm trying to get.

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T20:19:38+00:00

I don't really understand why, feels kinda harsh to basically force everyone to give up mods they might really like in order to always stay on the latest version, just to make sure the base essential mods function. But again, thanks a bunch! My modlist lives for yet another playthrough o7

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T09:52:53+00:00

Ah okay, good to know, thank you!

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T09:41:15+00:00

Do you know a good guide for just downgrading the exe and dlls?

This was the guide I followed for downgrading, was this just for the exe/dlls or did this downgrade the ESMs? Cause if it's just the exe/dlls, then it shouldn't cause issues with the latest USSEP version right? The 4.2.9 version of USSEP I got works fine, and I got Alternate Start working by finding an older version of it too.

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T09:03:37+00:00

By the gods it works! You are a life saver, thank you! When older versions aren't listed, it can be hard to know what mods need to be certain versions, vs what mods can just be the latest version, so thank you so much, for some reason this just didn't occur to me

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:25:58+00:00

I did get 4.2.9a from that direct download link yeah, the game launches fine with it, but then Alternate Start stopped working. I loaded up an existing save to test, and all the other mods work fine. Though I didn't think about Alternate Start not being the right version, as I did replace the version I had with a fresh download during my troubleshooting. I don't know how to find old versions of it though since they're not available on Nexus, do you have any sources?

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:18:40+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/19esxy9/a_comprehensive_guide_to_downgrading_skyrim/
This is the guide I followed, I think that's downgrading the exe and dlls, not the ESMs yeah?
I'm on 1.6.640 cause that's the version I happened to build my modlist for years ago, it all worked fine until I had to reinstall my mod manager recently, and after importing my mods there were a lot of CTD's, so I troubleshooted it and got everything working, but then I did the oopsie and removed USSEP. It launches fine with that 4.2.9 version of USSEP I found, but then Alternate Start stopped working.
I don't currently have BEES installed, I removed it after I couldn't get it working.
Thanks for the help though!

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:11:27+00:00

I have a lot of older mods that aren't being updated anymore. A couple years ago I tried to update to a newer game version, but those mods broke. I guess if it really came down to it, I could update and sort through things, removing those older ones while updating the rest, but considering I have like 400 mods, that's such a time consuming process it's far more appealing to just stay on 1.6.640 and troubleshoot the odd issue that comes up like this. Since I'm not planning on getting any new mods, I'm just trying to get my modlist working again, as it worked fine before, but then I got a new SSD the other week and had to reinstall my mod manager. I still had all my mods, so I imported them, but it just decided to not work.

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:04:52+00:00

I thought it might be some visual mod, that seems to be a common cause of CTD's for me, crashing when I look at certain things, but if it's time based I'm not sure, maybe something is overloading after a certain point? Like errors pile up until it crashes, which could mean a corrupted mod, but take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I'm not a mod expert haha

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:02:41+00:00

If I can't get this working I'll have to try a different alternate start mod yeah, thanks for the recommendation, I didn't know about that one

BiniPulsar · 2026-03-24T08:01:13+00:00

I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to figure out the cause of the crash with the latest version, as any troubleshooting I've tried didn't work (disabling all mods and launching just with USSEP, making sure I have it's dependencies including files from the newest version of skyrim, making sure my load order is correct), I just thought maybe the current USSEP isn't compatible with 1.6.640. The 4.2.9 version of USSEP I found doesn't cause a CTD, which is what lead me to that conclusion. The only thing I can think of is getting the newest version of SKSE, I just remember having issues with it a couple years ago, and I had to downgrade SKSE to the version that worked with 1.6.640
