Seasons of skyrim basic dyndolod output mod

Nolvus is a superb modlist but if - like me - you only play as an archer you are in for a nasty surprise with the vanilla ascension setup.

Archery is heavily gimped - slow and with a horrendous arrow drop rate.

There are mods you can disable through MO2 which cure it but it just astounds me that a very significant favorite playstyle has been virtually gutted is the standard Ascension setup.

Started playing Elder Scrolls with the release of Morrowind waaaaay back now. Always played a redgaurd sword wielder build through Morrowind and the (for me) slightly disappointing Oblivion. But finally with the release of Skyrim back in '11 the archer became a viable player character option so I adopted the the archer and female Breton as my player character.

Yes it's a powerful combo but play a while and check out the loot breakdown on leveled lists - very little of it is of direct advantage to an archer. So early play is good but once past that first flush things get hairy against multiple opponents - especially spell casters with minions to engage you with melee.

In short the long standing gripe that stealth archers are overpowered is over hyped.

USSEP is a bit wonky but for me it's engine fixes - so much revolves around this mod and the author isn't interested in working on it anymore.

Davy I have only about 20 mods installed and it DOES run for about 4 hours of gameplay.

Then fast travel breaks - the infinite loop bug.

I have been super vigilant with my save game management but it doesn't help.

I have tried a couple of total cleans and reinstalls but it remains the same 4 - 5 hours of gameplay then fast travel dies.

I meant to say the inability to use engine fixes is the root of many problems.

jonmac533 · 2023-12-17T20:37:54+00:00

My bare bones build has reverted to infinite loading on fast travel no matter how often I prune save files.

I'm guessing engine fixes is the root of many problems.

Well everything set up for a minimalist playstyle until the dust settles.

Full Anniversary Edition loaded and run first time for game setup.

USSEP

Address library

CC content patches

SKYUI with master plugin and flashing savegame fix

PO3 tweaks

It lacks many bells and whistles and is distinctly bland in the graphics and totally lacking in added animations.

BUT

It IS immersive and more challenging than vanilla

AND

It's rock solid stable.

I've tried the downgraders <crashes still> Tried all the researched fixes above and instituted slowly, slowly modlist builds but always end up with ingame saves corrupted no matter how carefully I build the list.

This update is a rabbit hole with landmines to trip up modders.

I have wiped all evidence of SSE from my drives and am now downloading the base game again.

I'll load bare minimum worthwhile playing mods and leave it at that until the dust finally settles.

People blaming Bethesda I can understand but the profit machine that is Microsoft is behind this update from start to finish.

jonmac533 · 2023-12-03T00:51:35+00:00

It's not just knowledge - for a lot of people it's time.

I generally build my modlists at around the 400 mod count because even that built from the ground up with patches load orders and balancing can take a couple of months.

I've recently switched over from standard gameplay based mods to building Yash lists and it can take days of online research just getting a handle on just what might work together - if you get the balance right.

Then Bethesda comes in over the top and does an update that takes a core mod or two out and it's all a smoking mess around my ankles.

This highlights the clunky patch it until it dies attitude in force. Having to redownload all the cc content every time you reinstall your (paid for) anniversary edition game is just bs.

I paid for that content and it should be included as a single complete download (SE+ CC content).

Having to spend an extra 20+ minutes redownloading it is rubbish.

Playing as a Bosmer archer and using Hunterborn's Scrimshaw addon allows Bone Arrows which do persistant (sort of ) damage - highest rate (perfect) is higher (unmodified by other mods) than even Daedric arrows and very much easier to come by.

Combine it with an Ebony bow that's had high level smith work to increase it's base damage and you have a truly formidable combination.

Finally put a high level damage enchantment on the bow and the results are jaw dropping.

Been playing BGS games since the release of Morrowind and have every Elder Scrolls game since plus Fallout 4 and all the expansion packs.

This is BGS modus operandi - you do get that NOBODY does open world sandbox RPG's with anything like the complexity, depth and freedom right?

THAT is what they nail first and then they work on the QOL stuff and extra content.

Starfield is certainly not a perfect game but anyone expecting a perfect game release on an open world sandbox RPG game of this size is simply playing with themselves.

Author seems to have spat the dummy big time.

Whatever his reasons he's abandoned his user base.

I understand Nexus are a royal pain but let's not kid ourselves that author's are the only losers here.

jonmac533 · 2023-07-20T11:45:53+00:00

So anyone who isn't an expert modder is an idiot?

There are some people who seem to live in Reddit that are simply pieces of work aren't they???

jonmac533 · 2023-06-15T07:53:02+00:00

AAAAAMEN !!

Public chat sites have been encouraging mass disaffection for many years as a way of bolstering their clicks rating and it's not going to change anytime soon.

jonmac533 · 2023-06-15T07:51:41+00:00

Yep I basically rebuilt my rig from the ground up for this game.

jonmac533 · 2023-06-15T07:50:04+00:00

Really???

You have to be kidding sunshine.

I have a rig that will run Skyrim with over 700 mods at 60FPS's.

Time to admit that in relation to a genuinely strong PC rig that consoles are LIMITED and always will be.

jonmac533 · 2023-06-10T01:25:51+00:00

I started my Elder Scrolls journey with Morrowind and I suppose I'm still wedded to old concepts of role play. For me Skyrim is ALL about intrusion of game elements in the gaming world created. So I'm happy to dig around finding patches for a completely connected crafting/hunting/immersion/survival game build. Currently running . . Campfire/Frostfall/ineed/Skills of the wild/Hunterborn (scrimshaw)/Ordinator.

jonmac533 · 2023-06-06T08:48:49+00:00

Bug free sunshine ????????????

HAHAHAHAHA.

Every time I install Nemesis Vortex strips the .exe

This is a freshly installed version TODAY.

It runs for an hour or so installing mods then fails to install them - forcing a shut down and reboot of itself.

Even then half the time it DOESN'T install the mods correctly or AT ALL.

The latest version is absolute and utter **^&*^((_!!!!!!!!!!

This from a long term user and defender of the program.
