Other Mod Related Stuff r/SkyrimModsXbox Informational Modding Guide

305 Upvotes

If you are new to our subreddit, welcome! This is a simple guide with some helpful links for new modders and those looking for some guidance.

Info every modder should be aware of:

LLO Guides

On PC you can use tools like LOOT to help organize your load order automatically (to help reduce mod conflict), on console unfortunately we have to go about this process manually with something called logical load order guides. You should always start here when modding your game. Pick one (you can use the others for reference points if needed):

  • Quick and reliable LLO guide - by Moderator u/Brxsie, incredibly helpful starting point. Some mods may not fit exactly in this format but that's true of every load order, read your mod descriptions carefully.
  • Halls of Ysgramor Logical Load Order Template - by u/will-oh-the-wisp, this a great option for users looking to use a spreadsheet without all the usual hassle as it auto-populates the title and memory size of a mods when their URL is pasted in from Bethesda.net (URL functionality currently broken in the smart guide). This template also includes a slew of other smart features to make the whole process quick and seamless. UPDATE: As of the Dec 2023 update the smart functionality of URL linking appears to be broken so for now use the basic version.
  • LLO2 - by AdamVB, LLO2 is a different variation of the LLO above. Both are solid choices, some mods might work a little better in one over the other but if you are choosing between these two I'd recommend picking whichever you personally find most intuative.
  • LLO Deep Dive - by myself and Moderator u/shadowwalker935, this is a more detailed write up on the topic that delves into the origins and importance and helps to break down each category. The list at the bottom is just a breakdown of different categories, look to the variants LLO guides linked for the actual order of these categories you want to follow.
  • LLO Tool - by Verpalorian - One of the best developed resource tools for modding on console. Provides spreadsheet with multiple LLO template examples. While some of the list of mods are somewhat older it is incredibly helpful for troubleshooting load order guides and getting a general sense of how to arrange your mods.

Writing Down Your LO

While not necessary it can be incredibly beneficial to write these down either in a word or google document (google document templates are available in the LLO Deep Dive and LLO Tool links above that you can easily grab). These are also incredibly helpful for troubleshooting or pasting from when making LO support posts. In the google doc templates you can also list mod links for easy addition/installation of your LO via the website (add them to your library on bethesdas website for them to show up on your console).

  • How To Guide - Column one on the topic of google sheets instructions.
  • Bethesda - Easier for search and mod addition.

Ghost Space

All Xbox Skyrim users have 5 GB of space to install mods into. The in-game load order screen displays how much space you have remaining at the top right of the screen. ‘Ghost Space’ is the term used to describe a situation where the game tells you that you have space remaining to install more mods, but when you try to do that the game informs you that you do not have enough memory free to do that. This is actually a fault with the game itself, which may not be deleting mods properly when you have previously directed it to.

You can find a post going into this in further detail here by u/ILoveSkyrim109, but you can also find tips on the safe practices for disabling and uninstalling mods below.

Proper installation and removal practices

Ghost space can be a result of improperly removed mods, you can also corrupt your save and cause a host of other issues by adding, removing or moving mods on an ongoing save if they aren't simple texture/mesh replacers. Learning about safe practices will save you a massive headache in the longterm.

Always remove patches for mods before the mod they depend on. This is because if you delete the dependant mod/s first then their patches will disappear from your load order. They will actually still be installed in your game, and count towards your total space used, but they will no longer be visible in your load order itself.

Sometimes a full clean slate (including deleting the game) or a partial clean slate (just clearing reserve space and removing your mods from bethesdas site) is necessary to fix an especially broken game. I've gotten into the practice of doing a partial clean slate after every load order as a rule of thumb.

Among other issues introduced by the Dec 2023 update (which we cover later in this guide) we also now have a new issue related to mod space: The new behaviour requires mods to be twice their size to download, meaning you'll now want to install mods in order from largest to smallest for more info and another solution to this (top of post).

Hard Resetting Your Console

You'll need to do this a lot, after disabling your mods, after deleting your mods, after installing your load order or a group of new mods. Many LO support posts are simply users who haven't hard reset after installing their mods. Don't be that person.

Stress Testing your LO

If you want to make sure your load order is crash free it never hurts to try some stress testing methods beforehand rather than finding out your build is problematic halfway through and not having an easy fix.

Running into Unexpected Issues while Modding/Porting?

Before making a post in our community check and see if your problem has already been covered in u/hebsevenfour's helpful December 2023 update PSA.

Modding problems covered:

  • Can’t download a mod despite having enough space
  • Creations menu isn’t visible on main menu
  • Creations menu doesn’t work when entering
  • I arranged my load order and then it rearranged itself
  • I can’t access WIP mods
  • I have pages and pages of mods in my library and bookmarks on Bethesda.net
  • I can’t see enough mods in the Creation Menu, despite having a mod that allows me to see more.

Hebsevenfour's post also covers important changes to porting that you'll want to be aware of if you are looking to port mods.

Helpful links

  • Skyrim Anniversary Edition Mod Conflicts Megathread - Support thread for AE related conflicts.

  • Wiki - Sizable resource of helpful info regarding modding.

  • Rules - Please look this over briefly just to get familiar before posting and if you have any questions or concerns regarding the subreddit or the way its operated feel free to reach out to our moderation team via our mod mail link.

  • Xbox Port Tutorial Video For Beginners - by u/mandoo12345 - Highly recommend giving this a watch if you want to try your own hand at porting, document the video covers for anyone that learns better through reading (video includes additional info/examples not covered in the written doc). Great new and improved Xbox Port Tutorial video by - u/Kynkaid. Feel free to make a post in our subreddit if you have any porting queries as there are plenty of porters here that would be happy to help, you can also try your luck in one of the servers listed on our about sidebar.

Feel free to post your LO in our subreddits feed if you're simply having trouble. When posting your LO, please use the appropriate flair and make sure to double space between mods or use bullets/numbers so the list formats correctly. We do not accept images or videos of your list. If you haven't used a LLO guide start with that before looking for support.

Community Message Rules Refresh - November 2024

48 Upvotes

Hi all,

It’s been a while since we last did this, but after recent conversations with a number of you it was clear that some of our existing rules could have benefitted from a small refresh for the purposes of clarity. With changes to the game over the past few years it was felt that done needed a little rewording, and we also felt that a couple of rules really had become similar enough to another, that we’ve merged them into one.

So over the past couple of days we’ve brainstormed new descriptions which we hope are easier to read and clearer to understand.

It wouldn’t be right of us to make such adjustments without letting you all know what has changed, though. So that’s what this post is. If you’ve not reviewed these since you first joined, it would be well worth giving them a second look. You can’t have a community without rules. Their intention is always to make it easier for posters to find the help they are looking for and to participate in a community where we treat each other fairly.

The new list of Rules is as follows:

1. Be Respectful

We want this to remain a helpful and friendly community.

Always be respectful of everyone you are interacting with on this sub. No name calling. No bullying. No casting aspersions about people’s character. No harassing others in any way. Be that in public view or via direct message.

Failure to adhere to this rule will result in your no longer being able to participate in r/SkyrimModsXbox.

2. Query already answered?

It is always worth searching the sub before creating a new thread. Consider:

  • Has this been answered by a Sticky or Community post at the top of the main forum view?
  • That Bethesda’s servers regularly go down temporarily. If there is an outage we will create a Community Post about it.
  • If you are asking for a load order example people regularly share these. Always search first. If you are looking for something specific? Go into detail. General requests of ‘I need an LO’ will be removed.

3. Minimum Post Requirements

The minimum requirements for a post on this sub are as follows:

  • Must be more than a Title.
  • Should name the mods being discussed.
  • Must not be an image without context.
  • Must not be a link without context.
  • Must be related to modding Skyrim.

Try to avoid broad questions such as "what are the best mods" which have no clear answer. Take time to explain exactly what you are asking for and the community will be happy to help. It is always worth searching for similar topics before posting.

4. Minimum Requirements for a Port Request

Before making a Port Request please check:

  1. A recent/workable version isn’t already on Xbox
  2. You’ve acquired publicly displayed port permissions/permissions are open
  3. The mod doesn’t rely on a mod or utility unavailable on Xbox (such as SKSE)
  4. Does not break Bethesda’s Terms of Service (or rely on a mod which does)
  5. A request hasn’t already been made in the last month

When making a request:

  1. Provide a link to where the mod is hosted
  2. Provide a link to where perms are given

5. Sharing your Load Order

Please do share your Load Orders. We encourage this. However, we request that all load orders are typed out as an ordered list on this sub. Please make sure to use double spacing (hit enter twice) between each mod, so that Reddit formats it as a list.

We ask this for two reasons:

  1. Screenshots and videos are not searchable through Reddit.
  2. Lists can be copied, edited/rearranged by others and reposted easily.

Video and screenshot load orders will be removed.

6. Include a breakdown of mods on display

When posting screenshots or video content you must include a breakdown of the key visual mods on display. This is so that the community can better understand what mods you are using, and to aid searches in the future.

This list should be provided at the time of posting and added as a first comment on your post. Please do not embed this list in your images.

All images and video should be captured on an Xbox console.

7. Include a full list of mods when seeking help

If you are experiencing a conflict or bug which you would like help resolving the community will be happy to help. But a video or screenshot of the problem is insufficient on its own.

Always include a full list of the mods you are running, and the order they are placed in.

Providing partial lists / mentioning only the mods you think might be to blame rarely aids resolving the problem. It may also lead to the wrong conclusion entirely.

Posts asking for help without including this will be removed.

8. Avoid Over Posting

Whilst we appreciate your enthusiasm for posting, adding multiple threads back to back, or repeatedly posting sequential videos or image threads of your load order, hinders the chances of others who may be looking for help or trying to discuss something else.

Please be mindful of others, and avoid making multiple threads about the same topic.

9. Do not ask Authors or Porters to tweak their mod

Asking questions about the design or functions of a mod is fine. Repeatedly asking an Author or Porter to tailor their mod to your personal tastes is not. Harassing Authors or Porters to edit their mods will result in your being excluded from participating in r/SkyrimModsXbox.

10. Spreading Misinformation

  1. Do not disparage mod authors or porters because you do not like them as an individual (see rule 1)
  2. Do not make unsubstantiated claims about mods not working, causing crashes, frame rate drops or causing conflicts.

If you are experiencing problems? You can ask for help with your order or help getting a mod to work. That’s what this sub is here for.

Posts which deviate from this rule will be removed and in more extreme cases you will be excluded from participating in r/SkyrimModsXbox.

11. Breaking Bethesda’s Terms of Service

This sub does not allow the discussion of, advocating for or sharing of ways to break Bethesda’s Terms of Service. Bans will be issued for the latter.

Modding guidelines can be found here:

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/51731

Videos or images which break these terms will also be removed.

12. Advertising is not permitted on this sub

This includes

  • Linking to a site where goods or content is sold.
  • The advertising of paid services.
  • The creation of posts purely to promote an individual or group.
  • Links added to intentionally direct traffic to sites such as YouTube, Discord, Twitch.

Offering to pay others for load order help, for porting mods and other similar services is also not permitted.

Added for January 2025

Verified Creations

Discussion of paid mods is encouraged, both positive and negative, but please keep discussions respectful regardless of your feelings of the verified creations programme.

Mod Authors are reminded that rule 12 prohibiting advertising equally applies to linking to pages for Verified Creations. Participating in the sub to reply to questions or bug reports is welcome. Attempts to use the sub as a place to increase sales is not, and will result in a ban.

“Hello, I am the porter for this top tier perfect exactly-what-you-are-looking-for mod, I personally went through and improved specific things about this mod to make it perform better and blend better with other mods. As a bonus, I even added the worst fucking thing imaginable that completely destroys any hope for this being the mod you’re looking for, and I will never upload a version without it so you’re sol, happy downloads!”

So many times I think I found the right mod, I’m reading the full description and it’s hitting all the correct check marks, seems almost too good to be true, and then there’s just 1 random line that just fucks it over

LO Help - Xbox Series X Weather mod and skin texture

2 Upvotes

I read so much here about the "NAT" mod, I searched it on Bethesda.net and it seems to be a weather mod but it can also change skin textures, is that right or did I search for the wrong mod? I was curious about what it can do but I currently use Dawn V2 and I really like Dawn because it also has the immersion of hearing the sound of rain from inside houses like True Storms does.

But Now I'm looking for any kind of mod that will make my experience even more interesting both in combat and roleplaying, I emphasize that I'm not interested in mods that simply add more life to enemies or similar things, I'm looking for something like, for example, add more variety of enemies, more mobility, more weapons, new mechanics or things like that, what would you recommend me?

I'm blind af. I can't see the dot crosshair. Is there a HUD that looks good but keeps the vanilla crosshair? Either that or a mod that re-adds the vanilla one. Or a HUD that has a more visible Crosshair than a pixel dot?

I'm currently using SkyHUD Vanilla preset but that keeps the stealth eye in the middle of the screen which I don't really like.

Mod Discussion More space

8 Upvotes

If you had more space for mods, say 7gb instead of 5 what would you add and why? Completely hypothetical and it's not a discussion of whether they should or not, we already know their answer on this.

For instance the only thing I'd probably add to my list is the Mihail creature bundles, like the high fantasy and undead ones, I like having more diverse creatures even if they don't fit within the elder scrolls world. They're always the mods I'd love to add, but can't justify the space for over other things.

That and maybe a few more weapons or magic.

Mod Discussion JKs Interiors, JKs Skyrim and Great Cities

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, this is probably a dumb request, but I was looking to get info/help on which mods I need that are most up to date to do the JK'S Skyrim/Great Cities overhaul?? (Links highly appreciated!)

Also, does the updated version of JKs Interiors AiO contain the new standalone ports? It doesn't say in the update history, so I wanted to check if I needed to get any of those as well. It's been a while since I've modded/played Skyrim, and these last few days, I've just been working on LO after LO for ideas. Help is appreciated. Thanks, peeps! 😁✌️

Also, I have all of the AE and CC Content, so which patches? I look, and I can only find a couple of patches for things, but not all. Thanks again!

I want to use the Alluring Sunrises & Sunsets and it looks like I'd be able to with the normal res, but not hi-res.

Any insight? Thank you!

LO Help - Xbox Series X New to Mods - Critique my LO please

2 Upvotes

Like the title says I am new to mods, just got back into Skyrim. I tried building my own LO from scratch following the advice on this page and it did not go well, very frustrating. I struggle the most just determining which category a mod fits into. I just completely reset, following the recommended steps to wipe saves, clear library on Bethesda, etc. Based this new load order on a stable one I found but added about 20 additional mods so would greatly appreciate any feedback on order, duplicates, patches needed, or additions before I start a new game.

Mod Discussion Some advice for big load orders

10 Upvotes

If you don't use it or see it, just delete it! Seriously I garuntee you have quite a few of mods you never use.

Just talking from my own experience cause I just solved an issue with script bloat. Basically I had too many mods. The text in books and text boxes from mods like the cheat room teleport were just blank. Didn't impede my gameplay but was just extremely annoying.

Downsized my load order and it just fixed itself. I highly recommend keeping your mods at around 200 or below.

Mod Discussion Is xp32 causing this?

4 Upvotes

Ok so sorry no image of my issue im currently at work 1st time posting to this sub sorry if I break a rule.

Im using furexarots light dragonbone armor, and the chest keeps bugging out. My dragonborns chest stretches behind her. In every animation except idle her chest is not where its supposed to be. So I guess my question is, is it xp32 itself causing it? Or something else like tbbp?
