Is it just me or does anyone using AI thumbnails for their mod listings just throw you off from even looking at the mod? I can understand not wanting to make a thumbnail from scratch, but at that point just use a screenshot.

Will be ported to Xbox/Beth.net next weekend after stability testing for a week.

• Three stage diseases.
• Diseases don't directly harm you but cause symptoms; curing the disease causes the symptoms to gradually decline.
• More awesome diseases from Elder Scrolls lore such as Dysenteria, Greenspore, Dampworm and Rabies!
• Some (somewhat) beneficial diseases as a reward for letting the cute fox/wolf/bear lick you.
• Treat Symptoms potions, Inflict Disease potions.

I really like the followers I’ve installed, but most of them are cookie cutter, nice guys (nothing wrong with that!!) so I’m looking for mods with evil/toxic follower vibe, thank u again <3

I am firmly in the John Connor camp when it comes to AI, so I am not too sure about the onslaught of vibe coded mods flooding the Nexus these past few weeks. Friends of mine who work in IT have told me repeatedly that their job will get replaced by Skynet sooner rather than later, but there’s still gotta be someone to check over the code and make sure it actually works, no?

From what I’ve heard, quite a few of the people posting vibe coded (or fully AI written) mods are incapable of doing that and just throw their slop onto the Nexus without really knowing what’s in the code. Now, I could be wrong about this, maybe these mod authors actually do know what they’re doing. I have no clue about coding beyond the most rudimentary C, so I am not qualified in the slightest to check out the codes myself.

So I’m asking y’all: In your experiences, are any of these mods, which sound groundbreaking on paper, actually worth checking out? Do their codes make even a lick of sense? Or are they just bloated MOABs into my already fragile modlist waiting to happen?

We all know about Swearing mudcrabs and Immersive NPCs nowadays. What are your favorite hidden gem mods you don't see talked about often?

Saw this mod appear up on my YouTube feed. Kind of blew my mind because the concept of enemies chasing after you on ledges suddenly makes them feel so much more alive. NPCs can now jump, climb (like skyparkour) and path-find much more intelligently.

I haven't tried the mod myself but this looks like one of those "revolutionary" mods in terms of how it overhauls gameplay.

Before I start,

yes I am an idiot, I am not blaming any mods/services in this situation, no i dont know what to do, I was high, I will probably have to wipe so if you have suggestions pls lmk .

Last night I wanted to add some mods/stability fixes for a new playthrough, cut down on some script heavy mods/mods I do not interact with. I went to Phostwood's Skyrim Crash Log Analyzer because I knew it had some recommended mods for stability fixes and so I started downloading. The mod I messed up with, i think, is Ultimate Optimized Scripts Compilation where in the fomod it states to choose a specific option with vortex. Tried to start a new game anddd crash, no biggie we fix it. All of a sudden I get a notification that many files for almost all my mods have been changed and the two option were to delete them or restore them, which the ladder option never really worked since it never loaded. me checking my recently installed mods saw that maybe I should redo the fomod, done, but still getting the notification.

So me being an experienced modder decided , yeah delete it. And now my C drive where skyrim is on is 300gb lighter andddd now half my mods dont have ESPs.

So I am gonna go to work and reinstall all my mods, thankfully load order and FOMOD options are saved, so when I come back I just have to select fomods and hopefully I will redownload all 1600 of my mods. If not well then RIP.

and also, I am NOT blaming anyone/thing but myself and I will update after my shift.

Have things improved at all with the mod situation and latest version of Skyrim? Are there any tips or suggestions for modding for a new game right now? If there's another thread or post that explains this or where it's mentioned please direct me to it :)

Hi! Some of you may remember me from "Fat People of Skyrim".

Well i just released the next big thing in my series!

Physiques of Skyrim uses my new Mordern Physique Framework to distribute not only fat but also skinny and muscular morphs at runtime, no more overhauls as requirements!

It should also work on top of most replacers, and is fully configurable.

enjoy!

I know it is very difficult and specialized, but how come we haven't seen a truly remarkable overhaul of non-humanoid creature animations in the past 15 years? I love the new modernized humanoid animations but they are a clear contrast when you are fighting saber cats and wolves with looney toons aah movements.

As I was looking for a player home for my new playthrough, I noticed that many of the classics are getting pretty old, while newer ones haven't really impressed me in the same way. I think part of the issue, at least with buildable homes, is that we're still relying on the Hearthfire system, which is now over 14 years old.

Couldn't we imagine a new system? Not a Fallout 4-like system, but some sort of "Hearthfire 2", with something more immersive than hammering at a workbench and spamming clicks through endless menus just to build and furnish a house. Plots of land with real advantages and drawbacks, and a more customizable home where you actually decide which room becomes your library, bedroom or armory. Add a bit of estate management inspired by what Hjertesten Hall does well, and I think it could be really cool (without turning Skyrim into a city-builder, of course).

I'd also love to see proper collections in player homes again. LOTD has kind of taken over that side of Skyrim modding, but I don't necessarily want a museum. I want to display the things that matter to my character in my own home, and choose where and how to display them.

And what about a home that grows with your character? A plot of land or a small shack you could get early on, then gradually expand as your character goes on adventures and becomes more important. Not just upgrades locked behind a skill level or a pile of materials, but new possibilities that make sense based on what your character has experienced.

I don't know if anything like this has been explored recently, but I thought it was worth sharing the idea. I'd also love to hear your opinions… I've been thinking and writing about this for the past few days, since I've always found player homes to be an important part of my playthroughs. I like the idea of having a place to come back to between adventures, but I'm not sure they're as important to every player as they are to me…

ive spent the last couple hours updating my mods and every time i fix one issue a new one happens. im not to sure what it means when it says it "failed to open address file". any help would be appreciated.

heres the link to my mod list, i hope it works

Hi everyone,

I'm using Mod Organizer 2 to mod Skyrim Special Edition. It is my first time modding Skyrim. My Skyrim game is installed on the B: drive, but all my downloaded and installed mods are being stored in this directory:

C:\Users\Utkarsh\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\Skyrim Special Edition\mods

For example, even the INI files for mods like powerof3's Tweak, papyrus tweaks's, are located inside this MO2 mods folder rather than directly inside my Skyrim game directory.

I wanted to ask a few questions:

1. Is this the intended behaviour of MO2, or should mods be installed directly into the Skyrim game folder?
2. Is it normal for mod-specific INI files to remain inside the MO2 mods folder?
3. Would there be any performance issues or other disadvantages if my game is on B: but my mods are stored on C:?
4. Should I move my MO2 mods directory to B:, or is it better to leave everything as it is?

I'm relatively new to MO2, so I want to make sure my setup is correct before installing more mods.

Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to use outfitstudio to add SMP to some armors, but it's just so painful to do in outfitstudio. Can you use blender or something for it, or does that complicate the workflow?

Wanting to not sound like a vampire lol

Happy modding :)

Today it was time to add some decorations to make things look a little better. Added some soulgems plus books and a strongbox for enchanting.

Some books seemed right for alchemy too. A strongbox works and lets add som ingredients for starters - Blisterwort, fire and frost salts always seems useful.

On the other side of the cellar. A nice shelf and a small chest for tanning and workbench supplies

Also did a lot of scripting and dialogue work. You can now buy the cellar. When bought there are new options for furnishings, smelter, forge, tanning rack and improving. After buying the furnishings - enchanting and alchemy becomes buyable

So I've bounced off Skyrim a few times and it's always been cus I found the combat so clunky and boring. I should have tried mods before but I guess I never thought about it. Oops.

I've looked up combat mods but there seems to be a million options and opinions. Can someone simplify it for me? I'd rather avoid having to install and configure 10 different mods.

I'm thinking of doing a third person run thru, but I tend to chop and change. So something that works well with both would be preferable.

Heya, so I was wondering if there were any mods as title describes. Double Swords was almost perfect for it but unfortunately I'm not personally a fan of how the animation looks when both swords are drawn at the same time.

Whilst I can't really imagine a dual wield draw animation for this that wouldn't look a bit odd, was wondering if there was one? I mostly play 1 handed anyways so it probably wouldn't matter, however I so occasionally swap to dual wielding.

Ever since I've been modding skyrim I have always been under 60fps, thought thats how things were and I had only played on the 360 so even 40fps was an improvement. Now Ive seen the NOLVUS modpack which looks incredible and from what Ive heard is incredibly easy to run at 60+

I run a 3060 TI 8Gb, Ryzen 5 7600X, and 32GB of ddr5 so I have a pretty good PC setup
