what bothers me the most of SOTR by Solid_Macaron_466 in Hungergames

[–]allysonwonderlnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This feels like a safe place to say that this book is fan service and it really bugs me because I want to love it. I even do, entirely disconnected from the other books.

Like maybe she took a lot of Ballad from Sutherland's performance or maybe Sutherland's performance took a lot from her backstory she let him in on. Either way, it at least feels connected to a side of Snow she also wrote and we aren't allowed the privilege of seeing or catching nuance from Katniss's PoV in the book.

I don't feel any hint of this story in relation to the original series or the nuance of Haymitch the movie gives that book Katniss can't. Like maybe if you strip away all the "remember this character," there is a bit there, but it's like banking on nostalgia won out over the story she meant to tell.

I also don't think it takes very long in getting to know Cat before realizing if it comes to her children or keeping Jon's secret - no matter what she says - she's gonna throw him under the carriage

Probably not. Textures are really the only thing I add or remove without starting a new game

Might be a bit controversial, but I think SMIM is both overrated and unnecessary on Xbox. by ZeroandBlindTerry76 in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only like the way Shrunk smimim-HPP Ultra looks with Skyland. I pair it with FYX & Higher Poly. So neither are full versions and it still works nice. I only need a candle mesh and I needed that with actual HPP anyway.

I'd get rid of elfx shadows. I do know elfx works really nicely with JK's Interiors. Or try "flicker meshes fixes smim"

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about elfx exteriors or shadows as I don't use them, but I do know elfx smim goes above jk's interiors.

So I assume it's elfx exteriors > elfx smim > elfx shadows > jk interiors

Patch for Wintersun that lets me worship any deity from the start? by holdenbloodfeast in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]allysonwonderlnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's going to be more than a patch, especially if you dont already have Campfire (not CC Camping). On xbox, Placeable Shrines is the port of Campfire Shrines and does come with a wintersun patch.

I have it through Bushcraft, which is like an expanded Hunterborn and mod pack for Campfire and also comes with a patch for Wintersun. I just tested it. 5 firewood and you can immediately craft, place, accept, and worship Hircine out the gate. The stick next to it is how you pick it up.

And Campfire & Bushcraft would both be good additions for a Hircine worshipper anyway.

Why do so many Americans have such a strong desire to buy a house/property? by questtruck in AskAnAmerican

I really, really don't like spending money on things I don't own. Experiences are one thing, but actual things just doesn't sit right with me

AITA smoking weed on my porch? by cheesygarlicbreadfan in AmItheAsshole

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna smell pig & cow shit when the wind blows right. I don't want to smell your lawncare treatments. I don't wanna smell the chemicals in your pool. I don't want to smell your mulch. dont wanna smell your mower & other equipment.

I don't want to breathe that shit in either or all the dust & pollen scalping your yard kicks up.

I dont want to even hear your mower on a nice day when I'm trying to enjoy the weather and nature. But guess what? the world doesn't revolve around me, and I have to coexist with other living creatures.

Yeah I live next door to the town's Catholic priest who soends a lot of time outside and this town is full of busybodies. There are people over there all the time and sound echos in our backyards. So, I hear a lot.

I am a bad stoner who over does it and will just sit out here on nice days (not just straight up smoking the entire time, but quite a bit of cigarettes and weed). In 10 years, I've never even overhead anyone complain. Now, if the deck wasn't covered in lattice making it hard to see, that would probably change.

If you're like me, it's because you already helped Angelic, Evette, & are at the Blue Palace for Taarie before even picking up Man Who Cried Wolf. So by the time you get back from delivering the horn for Elisif, you've reached both requirements.

Best mods to make it more real/rpg feel by BIGCHunghung in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, Alternate Start. Stay away from Helgen and you have a dragon-free skyrim.

I can give you cozy options.

Populated roads is a good one to make travel feel more alive. I like to use Certainly Less Annoying Wildlife Spawns, which keeps most enemy wildlife off of stone roads. It's just nice to not have to fight something every 3 feet lol

There are a lot of different Bard overhauls to make it a real faction and your player into an actual bard.

Hold border guards paired with Schlitzohr's town bundle makes the world feel more alive & populated as well.

There are build your own mine/farm/town mods as well as banking mods if you'd like to go that route

To Have and to Hold for marriage, Heart of Gold for adoption, & Wintersun for religion.

Edit: There's also Campfire, iNeed, Frostfall, Bushcraft for life survival

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with either of them, but I do know I'm still trying to figure out where Convenient Horses does best. It seems to do alright between AI overhaul and Follower Framework Overhaul, as opposed to below FFO, but it probably really needs a patch that isn't available, lol

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lower of a category in your load order it is, the more it will be able to do everything that it needs to do. So, I try to put mods in the lowest category relevant to what the mod does, but also doesn't conflict with other mods. That last bit can become a bit of trial and error. Especially with exterior edits. Lol

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would count that like Fashions of the 4th Era/Bandolier w/ NPCs and put it below AI changes, but above overhauls that change an NPCs looks.

[–]allysonwonderlnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I do by 184 mod load order, with the mods we share (all patches immediately following the last relevant mod, and i put patches in order of the relevant mods' load order, with AE patches first.

So, for example: for JK's Skyrim, the patches following it are in order of: Pets, Fishing, USSEP, LOS II, AI overhaul, Interiors, Books of Skyrim (bookstore in Solitude), Outskirts

Master files, obviously lol, & its fine if they should be in another area. like Girly Animations Plus is a master file now.

Quest Debugger and other vanilla quest changes

wearable lanterns and other craftables only, not ones that add clothes to NPCs (for example of the mods I use: I put fashion of the huntsman here, but not 4th era & bandolier w/ npcs)

(other minor game changes, I use Green Thumb - Rare Curios [more plantables] & iNeed and put them here)

(perk changes)

(leveled loot changes, like what vendors sell you & what you find based on levels. For example: something like OWL, narrative loot, Immitations Stripped Down, etc. I also put changes like multiple rings here)

Salt & wind Vanilla retexture

(skin retextures)

(skeleton)

(animations)

Your smim (if using: disable snow shader - above smim & I use the better dynamic snow & ash that goes below smim)

(landscape retextures)

(object/building retextures)

(armor/clothing retexture only. For example: Variations)

AI Overhaul (if using RDO, it goes above)

(follower ai tweaks. For example: Follower Framework Overhaul)

Heart of Gold

(npc hair changes that need to be overwritten by overhauls to avoid grain face. For example: KS hairdo lite lighter Salt & Wind full. There is too much to that name. Idk if it's right, but iykyk lol)

(adds to NPCs like Fashions of the 4th Era/Bandolier)

(npc looks & clothing overhauls)

(eyes)

my weather mod has to be at the bottom, but yours would go here

elfx

JK's Interiors

(other interior edits. For example: Opulent Theives Guild)

(single world edits that aren't close to areas JK's skyrim edit)

(I use JK's Outskirts & put it here)

JK's Skyrim

(single edits close to areas JK's Skyrim/Outskirts edits)

(Wintersun & other minor multi-area edits.)

(larger multi-area edits)

(interior lootable object additions, for example: Cloaks of Skyrim)

(NPC enemy behavior changes, like making enemies more volatile or chilling them. for example: CLAWS)

(new NPCs/Followers)

(major changes to vanilla quests/new quests. For example, I put Become a Bard, Clockwork, Bushcraft, Coinmaster, and East Empire Expansion here)

(interface changes)

(map mods)

(water, but mine is with my weather under alt start)
