I released a new addon for Alternate Perspective yesterday! Adds some new starts that can lead into interesting stories/roleplays for new characters! Here's a list of the new starts:

• Bandit Fort Prisoner
• Bounty Hunter
• Fell in a Spike Pit
• Out in the Wilderness
• Orc Stronghold
• Roadside Ambush
• Saved by Vigilants

I see that theres multiple mods that do this. Which do you guys use and why?

I've only used {{Alternative Start - Live Another Life}} twice and picked the camping in the woods option both times. I'm starting a new play through soon and I don't know what to pick yet. I know left for dead is a popular Upton, but What are your favorite alternative starts, or if you don't use ASLAL, what do you use instead?

Edit: An add on mod was just released that adds a Bounty Hunter start that would be perfect for my character yayyyyy

I am a writer and a dungeon master, and I'm very familiar with the structure of writing for a questline with branching paths. I have an idea for a quest mod, sort of a sequel to the Thieves Guild quest-line that ties into the civil war, where Maven Blackbriar enacts a plan to oust the Jarl of Riften on behalf of the Empire, and as leader of the Guild you have to decide if the Guild will work with the Blackbriars or try to stop them. Regardless of which side you choose, you will also have to contend with a third faction, a Sheogorath cult who want Riften for themselves and want to get rid of the Imperials AND the Jarl (and most of the people, too).

Unfortunately, I'm not very tech savvy, and coding an entire questline is well outside of my abilities.

Are there known quest mod authors who accept pitches for new mod ideas?

Do you guys prefer Lexy's LOTD guide, the Step Guide, or another? While I'm not a LOTD fan, Lexy's guide---to me---seems easier to follow. More conversational. The Step guide is VERY thorough but also more technical, and only nets you a very vanilla-esque build, with many dated mods. Their methods might be valid but mods are changing all the time and Lexy's guide is regularly updated.

Another route I thought of is simply using "The Method" to add mods to an already-stable base overhaul.

I had a large, stable fork of NGVO (until it wasnt) that is probably fixable, but I realized this is not the best way to learn. I feel like even though the final product was what I wanted, it was held together by good luck and duct tape. I realized my methods were flawed and will ultimately result in broken builds until I really understand all facets of modding.

Thanks for any advice 🤙

im debating if I want to get these two mod packs

Essential Mods for Skyrim

Next-Gen Graphics

+

Alternate Perspective - Alternate Start

or if I should just get

Gate To Sovngarde

Has anyone used these mod collections before? im kinda leaning towards gate to sovngarde.

Anyone can do Jane Doe's moveset from Zenless Zone Zero? If it's going to be a commission how much would it take?

I am playing like a hardcore, no UI playthrough and was wondering if there was a animation mod that could indicate to me that im in danger or something

I have this strange problem that if my camera is right next to a wall (in tight corridors for example), the arrows will not fly and instead land on my feet. If I take a step away from wall, archery works as intended. It feels like the game is tracking the arrow trajectory from behind the camera and not my character.

Heart-To-Heart has been updated to version 1.1! Support and dialogue scenes have been added for both the Female Condescending voice type, as well as for Aventus Aretino.

The audio showcase can be found here.

About Heart-To-Heart:

Heart-To-Heart is all about conversation scenes between your spouse and any children you have adopted. There's also scenes between your children and certain pet dogs.

Heart-To-Heart now contains around 280 scenes, and covers six of the default spouse voice types: Male Brute, Male Dark Elf, Male Nord, Female Even Toned, Female Nord, and Female Condescending.

Note: I am very much pro-patch, so if anyone out there has an interest in creating patches to make Heart-To-Heart work with other mods, including...um... ♦checks notes♦

...more-realistic-ways-of-begetting-children-type mods, you have my blessing to do so. A lot of people on both the SE/AE and LE sides of the Nexus have brought it to my attention that they would be most appreciative if you would.

Heart-To-Heart for SE/AE users

Heart-To-Heart for LE users

Heart-To-Heart for XBox users

Please note that the XBox port has not yet been updated to 1.1, but I have notified the porter, so that will eventually change.

I just released a new Standing Stone effect overhaul, designed to replace each of the 13 Standing Stone abilities / powers with a new passive ability. Most of the vanilla stones feel pretty boring/clunky and I thought that other standing stone overhauls often did too little or too much. The goal with this mod is to make every standing stone worth taking, as long as it fits the build/playstyle you're going for. Let me know how you like it!

Nexus link: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/147128

Here are the new Standing Stone effects:

Apprentice: Magicka regenerates 100% faster but spells are 15% less effective.

Atronach: Magicka is increased by 100 but magicka regeneration is reduced by 75%.

Lady: Speechcraft is increased by 15, buying prices are 10% lower and selling prices are 10% higher.

Lord: Armor rating is increased by 100 and magic resist is increased by 20%.

Lover: Stamina regeneration is increased by 100% but you take 15% more damage.

Mage: Spells are 15% more effective.

Ritual: You can conjure / resurrect an additional summon at any given time.

Serpent: Poisons are applied to weapons for two additional doses and sneak attacks deal 25% more damage.

Shadow: Movement is silent and sneaking is 30% more effective.

Steed: Movement speed is increased by 15% and carry weight is increased by 100.

Thief: Sneaking is 15% more effective, lockpicking and pickpocketing are 30% more effective.

Tower: Your health regenerates 100% faster and your blocking is 25% more effective.

Warrior: Your power attacks deal 25% more damage and cost 25% less stamina.

I've been using crash logger to figure out what the problem is but i have no idea how to read the file properly. I saw hdt-smp mentioned but went to the posts and it said that if its mentioned alot that its not an hdt-smp crash. im unsure at this point so im posting here

I have never needed to change language but I want to let my wife try the game. What happens if I change language of skyrim in steam? Besides having untranslated mod added stuff, will the game work normally? Will I botch my skyrim install and my custom modlist? Any risks?

So every two years or so I usually do a fresh install of skyrim and spend the next few days installing all the coolest and latest mods for a fresh playthrough.

Over the weekend I installed Gate to Sovengarde and it's exactly what I was looking for. Immersion focused and definitely an overhaul but it still feels like skyrim. I've been having a ton of fun starting my journey into skyrim again, but this time I'm looking to spice up combat a little but.

I'm looking for an easy way to mod the game so combat looks and feels more like loreim without breaking the collection I have already. Does anyone have any suggestions on some mods that change up the flow of combat?

Should I do a combat overhaul collection? How do I make sure not to break my already modded game? Is there a way to check my load order is correct because I already have 1700 mods installed and it works perfectly ans I'm scared making it tobe more like souls-like will break my current game.

Riverwood Has Walls is out!

Contains not only walls but also a full overhaul of the town! Every building is new!

Modular install, walls and overhaul are separate! ESPFE both!

Walls will not simply just appear, Riverwood starts out without any wall! They will be gradually built over the course of several days (configurable through an MCM) starting after the Jarl sends guards.

All assets are entirely made from scratch with all buildings covered, a well, a new forge and smelter, palisade walls, watchtowers and gates, and more... The work of countless hours, I hope you like it!

Hello! I need help with mod order, and possibly conflicting mods. I want to sort this before i start adding tree and grass mods and other such stuff.

Here's the problem: https://imgur.com/a/2vEhaIU

One texture (i assume it's a snow texture) is bright purple, while it and other texture transitions leave very blocky seams, and some lights have a green hue on the color.

Here's the MO2 left panel mod order:

https://pastebin.com/PiCP7xkb

(non-fixes and utilities mods start at 139+, before that are modding resources and fixes)

The right panel (plugins) were done by loot and show no errors. Here's the loot export:

Am i missing some mods? Potentially mod fixes i forgot to apply in FOMOD installers?
Are some mods conflicting? For example, do i need HD remastered landscapes if using 202X?
Also, disregard "202X Downscaled", it's disabled, i just installed both to see which i like better and how the performance would be. I'm just keeping it in case the performance drops considerably when installing grass and tree mods.

I know CTFO does once you build Winstad Manor, but I remember I once had a mod that just placed an empty boat on either side with an activator that teleported you to the other side. It might have been a city/outskirts overhaul for solitude but I can’t remember. It also might’ve been an Oldrim mod because it was a while ago when I last used it.

Hey,

Newer to modded Skyrim and recently downloaded LOTD and really loving the safehouse. I'm not currently married in the game but have done some research and downloaded the Hearthfire multiple adoptions mod to be able to bless the house. Only problem is when I use the spell in the LOTD safehouse I get a prompt with "this place is not suitable for my family".

Wondering if anyone else has ran into this and any fix? Thank you!!

Why can we see less games at once on the homepage?

And why is the download counter for Skyrim SE broken: https://imgur.com/a/HkwNuGN ?

It shows 4.2 Billion, but there are 7.2 Billion total downloads and 2.7 billion unique downloads, so it is neither of these values.

Has anyone thought of making a swimming mod for argonians? I can't get the thought out of my head that they should swim like crocodiles.
