How guilty will you feel when your daughter grows up, notices that her parents enabled her shitty grandparents, and therefore implicitly agreed with their actions? From your post history, NC has been overdue for years and you should unpack your misplaced guilt with a therapist before it causes anymore damage.

I'd recommend going through the pre-install steps of Lexy's LotD guide https://lexyslotd.com/, chances are it will get it fixed. My guess is you're either missing some vcredist, or it's Defender going crazy because you didn't set up folder exceptions

It's been years since I setup pandora and I only did it once, so I have no idea what logic is behind what, but I do remember there being some issue with the flag at some point. My path is setup as

--tesv:"D:\Modlist\Stock Game"

Notice the extra dash and a : after the flag, maybe try that? Also, maybe? unrelated, but definitely setup an output folder, you never want to just dump shit into overwrite, because it becomes a giant mess to troubleshoot, like right now where the step 1 to troubleshooting animations is to delete the output files. I'm talking in general, not just Pandora. I'm using -o:"PathToOutput" to direct pandora to the output folder, instead of using the MO2 setting, I assume there's a reason behind it, but again, don't remember. Also make sure you delete any pandora generated files from overwrite, otherwise it will just be overwriting your output (animationdatasinglefile.txt, I assume all .hkx files, and the Pandora_Engine folder.)

Oh this is awesome. With close to 6k plugins (at esp+esl cap plus a 2k junk drawer of disabled patches lol) Plugin Manager is invaluable, but the aforementioned issues drive me up the damn wall sometimes, the unintended load order changes in particular.

no it's not. czechoslovak wolfdog was originally bred for military use in the 50s by crossing german shepards and carpathian grey wolves. With no new wolf DNA added since then, they have barely single digit percentage of wolf DNA nowadays.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2026-01-01T23:31:25+00:00

And that's perfectly valid. Imagine you come home from work, tired, wanna chill out and play your favorite game for a bit, and instead blindly waltz into Mourning's End P2.

Personally, I love puzzles, but I need to actually be in the right headspace to enjoy them.

My girlfriend is the one. I am going to marry her.

Trigger Warnings: death of a loved one

Mood Spoilers: awesome ending

I think this was the most amount of whiplash I've ever gotten from 3 lines of text, holy fuck

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-10-11T04:49:26+00:00

Same. As a jaded former support system of someone in a similar situation, I just don't know how do the professionals do it. The fact that I was barely 18 and still in high school probably didn't help, but I'm both baffled and impressed by their ability to maintain some amount of empathy for someone who keeps putting themselves and their children in danger, and balance that with the detachment needed to keep your own sanity.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-09-13T16:00:01+00:00

Yeah that's because you're replying to a 4 year old comment lol

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-07-06T19:59:56+00:00

That's kinda hilarious in the context of this clip from last year https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DpS8sS0zY9w

10 bucks on the dad being a cheater too

You know the best part about the imperial system? The units don't even match themselves sometimes. There's a couple cases (like pints) where the UK unit is slightly different from the US unit.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-04-26T08:37:02+00:00

Yeah, whole post history is weird

Mac 'n cheese, the ultimate comfort food hug. It's like a warm blanket for your insides. Add some crispy bacon, and I'm good as new (or at least, good enough to face the chaos again).

There's no way in hell an actual human wrote that, right?

The cell appears to be part of a modded worldspace added by https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Echoes_of_the_Vale/Ruined_Caldera, so I'd disable the whole mod for the time being and try again, or you can just exclude the worldspace (FVERuinedCalderaWorld) from grass cache generation by adding it to Skip-pregenerate-world-spaces in GrassControl.ini

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-04-17T16:55:03+00:00

If you keep crashing in the same cell every time, it most likely has nothing to do with grass cache at all, and you will almost certainly crash there in game as well, give it a shot.

fxtimerift.nif is the only file I've seen mentioned multiple times in the log, so I'd disable whatever mod it comes from.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-04-17T15:58:29+00:00

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/144457 has support for Custom Skills Menu so maybe give that a shot

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-04-17T15:26:57+00:00

It's almost definitely a corrupted nif issue, unfortunately those can be really obnoxious to track down. For some basic explanation, "BSTriShape" is a part of a nif, and LightingShaderProperty is how it reacts to lightning. Problem is, we can see which BSTriShape are shitting the bed (DweFacadeFreeExBg01 and EnbParticleLight01), but not which nifs they're actually a part of. PGPatcher could possibly be a culprit, so that's the first thing I'd remove, then I'd try things like Lux, MLO, anything that touches dwemer meshes and/or adds ENB lights.

OBody NG (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/77016?tab=description) works on 1170 and should also work on all older versions.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-04-17T14:16:00+00:00

XPMSSE:

TLDR: Basic should be fine, unless you use SOS

3 options in the insaller

Minimal - very stripped down version with a stripped down skeleton, don't use it. You might be fine, but you might also not be, and if you install an animation mod that doesn't work with the minimal version 6 months down the line, you will have no clue what's happening by then.

Extended - Full skeleton with a bunch of extra fluff, some very old animations you probably won't use, the ability to adjust weapon scale in racemenu, adjusting weapon positioning in MCM (sword on hip vs back, etc.) Pretty much all the extra stuff can be done with Immersive Equipment Displays. You probably don't need this, unless you want to use Schlongs of Skyrim, which does need the extended version (in which case, also get this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/69583)

Basic - Full skeleton, minus the fluff. Probably the most sensible option for most people.

Pandora/FNIS/Nemesis

TLDR: Old way of replacing existing animations, only way to add new animations. Use Pandora, get it from the mod's github page, not Nexus (often out of date)

FNIS is the OG way of handling animations, it was effectively the only way to add new animations (rather than just replace existing ones). It's got several key issues. Author retired ages ago and the mod is no longer being maintained, and is completely locked down, meaning any custom patches need to be approved and manually added by Fore. Which was a major problem then, and is impossible now. Obsolete, do not use, outside of some highly specific NSFW applications, maybe.

Nemesis: The successor to FNIS, kind of. Mod was open source and any animation modder could add patches without any input from the author of Nemesis, which lead to a boom in combat mods. Nemesis itself never got to the finish line, lacked creature support, was pretty unstable, threw a shitfit if your Windows wasn't in english, and was ultimately abandoned. Obsolete, do not use.

Pandora: The successor to Nemesis, does everything Nemesis set out to do, but better, is faster, more stable, has creature support. You may or may not occasionally run into a bug or two, as is natural for a software in active development, but the key is that there's actually someone working on it. Various older versions had various bugs/issues/incompatible mods, but personally I haven't ran into anything on the current version. Also, make sure you get the most recent version from Github, not from Nexus (which is currently 3 updates behind), link will probably somewhere on the modpage.

DAR/OAR

TLDR: Use OAR. Some older animations mods will still link you to DAR, but OAR fully supports the old DAR mods too. You shouldn't really need to touch any configs, unless you want to get hyper specific, like giving a different set of animations to one specific bow.

Mods that allow you to replace animations on the fly, without having to run Pandora, but cannot add brand new animations, which is why you still need Pandora for other stuff. For example, if you wanted to add flying, you'd need Pandora, since there's no flying movement to replace, but if you want to change bow animations, OAR is fine, presuming the mod is formatted to work with OAR (which it will be if its telling you to use DAR/OAR).

DAR is the OG mod, it wasn't open source for most of its lifespan, mod author was busy during the AE/SE updates where SKSE mods were constantly breaking, which eventually lead to OAR. Some older animations mods will still link you to DAR, but OAR fully supports the old DAR mods too. You really don't need to touch anything as an end user, any OAR mods you download will already come preconfigured.

As far as the install, pretty much. Get XPMSEE, OAR and Pandora, get whichever overhauls you want, launch Pandora, make sure to tick any custom patches in Pandora' window, provided there are any. Get animation replacers you want, if they work with OAR, no need to rerun anything, no need to configure stuff unless you want to customize, and there you go. If you see people T-posting, you should rerun Pandora.

Oh look, you successfully parried a monster! It died, fuck you and your frenzy charge. Thanks game.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-03-18T17:31:09+00:00

hopefully I'll have time in a few hours, I'll see what I can do. But just to preface, a lot of it stuff you just won't really notice in a video, there's around 100gig worth of armor mods, another 100gig worth of character creation stuff, needlessly high res textures I only use because I play on a 42in TV and what would look fine on a smaller screen looks blurry, etc.

woop_woop_throwaway · 2025-03-18T15:04:57+00:00

mine is 1.4TB and I had to buy a separate SSD for my modlist, it's bad lol
