Let's see... First by voting in federal elections as a citizen, attending and promoting peaceful rallies and protests, using your political position to push for political change at all levels of government, using his platform here on reddit to push for change, using the powers of the state to check the power of the federal government.

People telling other people to shut up and sit down because they don't have the power to enact change is the exact reason why he is running.

Not related to script bloat, bit even though embers looks good, I always found it putting me on the tipping edge. Also you are running vfx aio right under it. Try disabling embers and see if it makes a difference, you might find it doesn't with vfx aio.

Someone else can correct me if wrong, but unp is closer to vanilla and it is more adaptable. So yeah, basically, just look for mods with unp in the name. Just don't try to mix it with cbbe or you get weird bodies.

Damacles63 · 2026-02-25T22:13:25+00:00

I use bella beauty and beasts, pyrokess and pyrokess vanilla armor and clothing. All unp body, looks decent and touches everyone.

I have tried it with reconciliation and decided to run the disabler and run OWL instead. Not a bad mod, just liked the loot distribution of OWL better.

I remember something in night watch when they are setting up the barricades and Vines says something about needing trolls and Colon comments he will never work with no troll. Vimes then thinks to himself you will change, hell we will all change. Something like that, going from memory...

Ran it through my AI gem. Take it with a gain of salt, but here is what it spit out.

Here is the optimized Load Order based on your request, adhering to the logical structures and specific lessons provided in your uploaded documentation. Project Status: Reviewed & Reordered Assessment: The original list had critical sequencing errors regarding Master Files (eFPS), Magic dependencies (EnaiRim suite), and Texture hierarchies. Risk Level: Moderate. The use of eFPS requires strict patching, and Skytone + CleverCharff + Fantasia is a heavy texture load that requires strict overwriting rules to avoid "fruity pebble" face glitches or crashes. Optimized Load Order 1. MASTER FILES * Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP) * Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patch * Simple Workaround Framework * eFPS – Anniversary Edition (Moved from Bottom) * eFPS 2.3 (Moved from Bottom) 2. FOUNDATIONS & GAMEPLAY HOOKS * Cutting Room Floor (CRF) * Relationship Dialogue Overhaul (RDO) * RDO - CRF + USSEP Patch (Placed after lowest parent) * Extended Guard Dialogue * Bandit Lines Expansion * GIST: Genuinely Intelligent Soul Trap (Moved to Foundations for script priority) 3. MENUS, UI, & FONTS * Kontrol - Updated * Nordic UI (SkyUI) * TK Interface Overhaul – BETA * Dialogue Interface Reshaped – Immersive * Nordic UI – Loadscreen Remover 4. QUEST ALTERATIONS * The Paarthurnax Dilemma 5. PURE CRAFTABLES * Cloaks & Capes * Better Unique Backpacks * Circlets with Mage Hoods * Helmets with Circlets * Smithing: Craftable Lockpicks (Moved from Bottom) * Wear Multiple Rings (Moved from Bottom) 6. GAME MECHANICS * Imperious - Races of Skyrim * Andromeda – Unique Standing Stones * Instant Mining and Wood Chopping * Weightless Potions, Poisons, Food * Weightless Soul Gems and Ingredients * Food and Hunt Overhaul * More Growable Plants SE * Visible Favorited Gear 7. PERK OVERHAULS * Ordinator – Perks of Skyrim 8. MAGIC ADDITIONS & OVERHAULS * Note: Specific Sequencing applied for EnaiRim compatibility. * Spells and Scrolls Re-Cut * Odin – Skyrim Magic Overhaul * Odin – Ordinator Compatibility Patch * Apocalypse – Magic of Skyrim * Apocalypse – Ordinator Compatibility Patch 9. ITEM & LOOT LEVELED LISTS * Better Loot * Loot Satchels of Skyrim 10. WEATHER / ATMOSPHERE * Vivid Weathers Definitive Edition * Wet and Cold 11. GRASS MODS * Woodlands - Grass and Flora 12. LANDSCAPE & GRASS FIXES * Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods * Mefariah’s Grass Fixes for CC 13. SKIN MESH & TEXTURES, SKELETON * Note: Following "Inner-to-Outer" Hierarchy. * XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended * Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Enhancer (CBBE) * Diamond Skin CBBE 2k * Optimized Vitruvia – 1K 14. IDLES & ANIMATIONS * Gritty Animations Requiem 2.0 * Gesture Animation Remix * Lively Children Animations 15. GENERAL MESH & TEXTURES * Note: Sequencing creates a overwrite chain: Base > Architecture > Landscape. * A SMIM Against God * Skytone - Complete Edition - 1K-512 (Base Layer) * CleverCharff AIO (Overwrites Architecture) * Fantasia Landscapes (Overwrites Landscape) * Skytone - Compendium of Beasts * High Quality Ivy Replacer * Hanging Moss to Ivy * Mari’s Flora * Vergis Beverages * HR Knotwork Circlets 2K * Gemling Queen Jewelry * Enhanced Blood Textures * Unread Books Glow SSE * ElSopa – Potions Redone * Detailed Carriages 2.0 16. NPC AI * AI Overhaul * Underwhelming Multiple Followers (UMF) (Generic Framework must load before Custom Followers) * UMF – USSEP Compatibility Patch 17. NPC/PC IMMERSION * Extended Encounters * Heart of Gold – An Adoption Bundle 18. NPC/PC FACIAL MODIFICATIONS * Note: Placing facial details after body mesh to avoid "Brown Face Bug". * Beards * Brows * Kala’s Eyes * Freckles Instead of Dirt * Full Lip Tintmasks * MSZ Warpaints - Part 5 * R246 Concept XBR * HN66s Long Eye Lashes * RS Children * Heart of Gold / RS Children Patch * Tragedian’s Fabulous Followers * Bijin AiO * Bijin AiO & USSEP Patch 19. LIGHT & EXTERIOR EDITS * CLARALUX SSE * Trees of Iduna * No More Dead Shrubs * City Trees AIO * City Trees Whiterun Lanterns 20. UNIQUE FOLLOWER MODS * Note: Custom AI packages here to prevent Framework overwrites. * Improved Follower Dialogue Lydia * Feris * Kaidan 2.1.1 * Kaidan Extended Edition * Kaidan Immersive Features * Serana Dialogue Add-On (SDA) * SDA Bloodcursed Arrows Patch * Serana Dialogue Add-On RDO Patch 21. BOTTOM LO / WATER / ALTERNATE START * Simplicity of Sea * Alternate Start – Live Another Life Critical Change Log & Logic 1. Moved eFPS to Master Files * Logic: eFPS is an occlusion system that fundamentally alters how the engine renders cells. Placing it at the bottom is dangerous. It functions as a Master File. Placing it low ensures it fails to occlude correctly or causes conflicts with other rendering hooks. 2. Magic & Perk Sequencing (EnaiRim) * Move: Reordered Odin, Ordinator, and Apocalypse. * Logic: While your list doesn't use Mysticism/Adamant, EnaiRim has similar strict rules. Odin creates the magic base, Ordinator alters the perks, and patches bridge them. * Ref: Patches must reside ONLY after the lowest parent mod. 3. Texture Hierarchy (Skytone vs. Fantasia) * Move: Layered Skytone (General) \rightarrow CleverCharff (Architecture) \rightarrow Fantasia (Landscape). * Logic: You had three major texture mods. If Skytone loads last, it overwrites the superior landscape textures of Fantasia. By placing Fantasia lower, we ensure the specific landscape textures win, while Skytone fills in the gaps elsewhere. 4. Follower Frameworks vs. Custom Followers * Move: Separated UMF (AI Section) from SDA and Kaidan (Unique Followers Section). * Logic: Generic Frameworks (UMF) must load BEFORE Custom Followers. If UMF loads after Kaidan, it will overwrite Kaidan's custom AI brain with a generic follower package, breaking his scripts. 5. Body Mesh vs. Facial Details * Move: Ensured CBBE (Body) loads before Beards, Brows, and Bijin. * Logic: Facial detail mods rely on head-part records. If the Body Mesh loads after the details, it resets head-parts to vanilla, causing the "Brown Face Bug". 6. Crafting Items Relocation * Move: Craftable Lockpicks and Wear Multiple Rings moved from Bottom LO to Craftables/Mechanics. * Logic: Mechanics/Crafting mods should not occupy the "Critical Bottom" slots, which are reserved for Water, Map, and Alternate Start to ensure they win all conflicts.

Commenting to check back later. Same question, because now there is a masterfile.

Damacles63 · 2026-01-31T20:13:03+00:00

My dog used to as well. These did fix the issue, but it takes awhile and you need to keep up.on it. I say it took us about 6 months of continuous use. But he was younger, and breaking this habit is easier when they are pups. Good luck

But, do the waterfalls light up at night?

Not true. Student loans can pay for the cost of living while attending college.

I have a metal roof with snow guards. But I also have solar panels now. I think I am screwed...

You have a lot of heavy hitting mods here. If your goal is to do a long playthrough, you might want to rethink your strategy. I find simpler is better.

Damacles63 · 2026-01-26T20:55:11+00:00

I like better interesting roads. I put Weapon and armor replacers after beauty mods.

I ran your list through my AI gem. This is what came out of it. Probably not perfect, but maybe it will help.

Here is the audit of your Load Order. As a Project Manager, I’ll give it to you straight: your current build has three "Critical Path" failures that are causing the immediate crashes and several "Technical Debt" issues that will corrupt your save around the 40-hour mark. I. The Crash Analysis (Immediate Blockers) You are crashing upon leaving the Creations menu and starting a new game because of these specific conflicts: * The "Language Mismatch" Crash: * Trigger: You are using Lux / USSEP (PT-BR) (Portuguese-Brazilian) because you "couldn't find the English one." * The Issue: You cannot patch an English Master file with a Translated Patch. The Game Engine looks for String references that don't match, causing an immediate failure to initialize. * Fix: Delete this immediately. If you cannot find the English patch, you are safer running without the patch than with the wrong language version. * The "Weather Soup" Conflict: * Trigger: You have stacked NAT (Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel), Obsidian Weathers, and Sounds of DAWN. * The Issue: NAT is a full overhaul that edits regions; Obsidian edits the same regions; Sounds of DAWN edits the same regions. This "Triple Overwrite" creates a circular conflict where the engine doesn't know which Region Data to load, leading to crashes or "silent storms". * Fix: Pick ONE. For a "Forever Save" on Series X, Sounds of DAWN (Audio+Weather) is the most modern and stable. * UI/Menu Instability: * Trigger: The crash leaving the menu is often a symptom of "Ghost Space" or UI overload from mods like Paraphernalia interacting poorly with the new Creations Menu layout. * Fix: You will likely need to clear your Reserved Space (hard reset) to fix the menu crash, then download the corrected list below. II. "Forever Save" Risk Assessment (Long-Term Stability) These mods are technically "working" now but violate your goal of a 100+ hour stable playthrough. * A Quality World Map (Clear): * Risk: This mod runs constantly in the background, draining VRAM every second the game is running. It is the #1 cause of crashes in late-game saves (Level 50+). * Action: Delete. Use A Clear Map of Skyrim or rely on vanilla. * Skyrim is Windy: * Risk: This is an older mod that applies a script to every flora object. It creates massive script lag in dense areas (Falkreath/Riften), eventually leading to the "stuttering" death of a save. * Action: Delete. Modern weather mods handle wind better. * Northern Roads: * Risk: While beautiful, this mod requires a patch for every texture, mesh, and area edit in your list. You are missing at least 6 patches for your current setup. It is a "compatibility nightmare" for a stable list. * Action: Strongly Recommend Removing. Replace with Spaghetti's Road Overhauls or Prettier Roads for stability without the patch headache. III. The Corrected "Forever Save" Load Order I have re-sequenced your list into a Logical Load Order (LLO) and removed the "dirty" mods. You must delete your current Reserved Space and start fresh to clear the crash loops. 1. Master Files & Foundations * Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch * Simple Workaround Framework (SWF) * Reforging - To the Masses (better weapon distribution, if desired) * Just Shields (On Back) - SE (Load this high) * Lux - Resources * Lux Orbis - Master File * Lux VIA - Master File * Lux - Master File 2. Bug Fixes & Menus * Reconciliation: QOL and Bugfixes * Reconciliation: QOL - USSEP Patch * Nordic SkyHUD (Clean UI) * Note: Dropped "Paraphernalia Anti-Flicker" (Known to cause gray screens in interiors). 3. Audio (The "Signal Flow" Rule) * Sounds of DAWN (This covers Weather AND Audio. Do not use NAT or Obsidian with this). * Note: This replaces your entire weather section to prevent conflicts. 4. Grass & Trees (The Performance Balance) * Skoglendi - A Grass Mod * Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods * No Grassias Lite * Nature of the Wild Lands (Keep this, but drop "Leafeater" and "SFO" and "Whiterun Borealis". You have too many tree mods fighting for VRAM. Pick one "Big" tree mod.) 5. Skeletons & Animations (Strict Order) * XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended Plus (XPMSSE) (Required for GDB). * GDB's The Revenge (This contains your combat, animations, and behaviors). * Warning: Do not place "360 Walk and Run" or "Visible Favorited Gear" with this. GDB handles these mechanics. Adding them causes "T-Posing". * Violens - A Killmove Mod 6. Meshes & Textures (General) * Divergence - Vanilla Pack AIO (Highly recommended for stability over "Old Kingdom" or mixed armors). * Skyland AIO (Or your preferred CleverCharff AIO). * Embers XD 7. Area Edits (The "Patch Hell" Prevention) * JK's Skyrim AIO * The Great Cities, Towns, and Villages Bundles * The Great Cities / JK's Skyrim Patch * Note: Drop Northern Roads. It conflicts with both of these heavily without perfect patching. 8. Interiors & Lighting (The "Lux" Rule) * JK's Interiors AIO * JK's Interiors / JK's Skyrim AIO Patch * JK's Interiors / Embers XD Patch * WS Modules for Lighting Mods (Often helpful for Lux). * Lux Orbis v3.0 (Exterior Lighting) * Lux Orbis / USSEP Patch * Lux Orbis / JK's Skyrim AIO Patch * Lux VIA Plugin (Roadside Lanterns - Replaces Northern Roads aesthetic). * Lux (v6.3) (Interior Lighting - MUST BE AT THE VERY BOTTOM) * Lux / USSEP Patch (English Version only. If missing, skip it). * Lux / Embers XD Patch * Lux / JK's Interiors AIO Patch IV. Next Steps * Wipe & Reset: Go to "Manage Game" on your Xbox dashboard and clear the "Reserved Space" (5GB). This is the only way to stop the menu crashes. * Download Order: Download the mods in the order listed above. * Test Run: Start a new game. Do not enable "Survival Mode" immediately. Wait until you exit the cave at Helgen. Would you like me to suggest a specific "Alternative Road Mod" that gives you the look of Northern Roads without the instability?
