Lol. I repented. I patched Immersive College of Winterhold to Apachii and I get CTD without it. Too many patches to take care of and too big a change to load order. Lol. Oh well, at least some other people look better with it.

Edit:
Lol, repented again. After seeing how horrible Jzargo looked, I just had to remove it. Lol.
 
lol i hated the ctd's luckily though mine has been a beast and has been good since i ran boss, and removed a lot of unnecessary mods.
 
For some reason, when I kill dragons I no longer absorb their soul. Any ideas why or how I can fix this?
 
lol

Well I guess I only half lost my dragon blood. I wouldn't be able to kill the dragons otherwise, I think.

I don't think I need to work in a mine though. I have a billion coins worth of enchanted armour and weapons stashed that I don't have time to sell. All the merchants are cheapskates and can't afford my stuff lol.

Have you been modding the game? You may have inadvertantly disabled a feature in the game. Or you have acquired all the dragon shouts or the dragons you are killing have no souls

That's actually normal for dragons you already killed (static dragons with a mountain lair).

If it also is happening with random encounters it may be a bug or mod bug
 
You can use an xbox controller, but personally I don't like using a controller because I want more hotkeys, plus a lot of my mods need hotkeys.
 
You can navigate almost all the menus with AWSD (like a console) -- I personally think it's a very good hybrid PC/console menu system.

And with mods like SkyUI adding sorting and searching to the inventory it might be worth giving the PC a go.

/my suggestion :)

Also C is auto-run. A finger-saver.
 
Funny, I just reinstalled this on Steam when I reinstalled my OS about a month ago. I have to admit, using the controller has made the game a lot easier to manage.

Yeah, I'm finding this to be the case myself (as I've actually got my controller set up properly now)
 
Yup depends on the game. I have more than 30 hotkeys in Skyrim. Not possible for a controller. But for other games like NBA 2k, a controller is preferred.
 
So, anyone try this utility yet? It's called "Save game script cleaner". It's used to removed orphaned scripts from uninstalling script-heavy mods.

It can improve performance and revive old saves. It's one of the Hot Files on the Nexus right now.

Yup. Used it before it became hotfiles. Works as advertised in my case.
 
Ok so how do people usually go about updating their mods?

I had a perfect working copy of the game with around 50 mods installed I was happy and working my way through a play-through,

Due to still been abit of a novice I had not updated any mods and ended up with about 15 to 20 that were out of date.

So I started updating them one at a time and testing skyrim after, worked fine at first but got frustrated that it was taking so long after the first 4 or 5 so I updated the rest all in one go,

Things went drastically downhill from there :(
At first it wouldn't even start, got a CTD right after the bethesda logo,
Abit of help from nexus forums solved that,
Then got a CTD the first time I searched a body, managed to sort that.
Now im getting a CTD as soon as I enter my first city :mad:

Does everyone else update there mods as soon as there is an update or do they tend leave updating mods it once they have a working version of the game they are happy with until they've finished each run-through?
 
I update as soon as there is an update. It all depends on how you install and what you do after you install. I have like almost 350 mods in the game running. Sometimes I update 10 mods or more in one go.

1st of all, mods must be loaded in a certain order, which is called a 'load order' (obviously, but some don't get it). If you update a mod, it gets put at the bottom. Now, some mods must be loaded before or after specific mods because of dependencies. So if you don't fix the load order after updating mods, you'll end up with a missing master CTD, which happens before, during, or after the beth logo. Basically you don't get to the game menu. Also you have to read in the updated version has increased requirements. For example, users of Skyre who don't have dawnguard should only use v0.99 of the mod as v1 onwards requires dawnguard. Another problem comes wheb you don't use mod managers to update. Modding manually may leave behind script traces that are orphaned, calling for removed scripts.

Basically, your problem is either a missing master or a bad load order.

Did you say 350 mods?! :eek:

Well plugins. Some mods don't have plugin files anyway, others Ive merged. Like I have around 10 armor mods from different authors that I merged into one esp file so I can use more mods. What's wrong with that? I interact with guys in Nexusforums with mod builds bigger than mine, having 400 or more.

Plus it's not like I install willy nilly. All of those have been carefully tested to work together over months to achieve immersion, realism and difficulty. Lol. I just remembered. I started playing dark souls two days ago, and I was laughing at how they say it's very difficult. My Skyrim on adept is more difficult.
 
ChanChan is pro :)


I've lost my interest in Skyrim lately -- maybe in the fall i will start fresh with SkyRe / reproccer and all that.

I'm just too lazy to make merge patches etc. But I was pretty happy with my 30 or so essential mods. And they worked well enough with very few issues.

- SkyUI
- Follower trap safety
- Quality World map with roads
- Deadly Dragons
- Ethereal elven overhaul
- Interesting NPCs
- Frostfal
- Guess the distance
- Wet and Cold
- Footprints
- Lore-based loading screens
- Convenient horses
- AFT
- CoT
- iHud
- whatever armor / creatures / body-type / hair add-ons

Still may favorite mods were some of the quest mods
Moonpath
Dark Brotherhood Resurrection
Wyrmstooth
Falskaar (amazing but lame story...kinda like the main Skyrim quest :) )

Sands of Time was pretty sweet too, but kept breaking my game and sadly had to toss it. That one avenger boss was really frikkin hard (although due to somewhat cheap stunlocking)


Best mod ever though?

The Shrine Of Kharjo

it's a must have.
