She isn't here on the site currently and might not be here for awhile.

The tutorial is a guide to get a beautiful Skyrim. The rest of the added mods are yours to discover. If you want I would suggest a new profile and save set and have at it experiment with the various options you can add to the game.

Two times now.. 20 times later. Kendo can attest that I was very weak in my skills when I started over on LL and now I still am but I am able and do provide testing and support from time to time. Continue plugging along and you will be able to provide more and more support. Even quicker if you continue with your GECK/CK studies

Step on my Soapbox

Being easily converted to console isn't the issue in my opinion. Bethesda isn't doing their job. The thief of a mod requires it to be uploaded onto their "sanctioned" site, correct? In order for it to be able to be uploaded into an Xbox or PS4 as I understand it. They started the paid mod crap earlier but allowed others to take the lead (Steam) and got bitch slapped when Steam wasn't handling the situation correctly so I believe they decided to host the entire thing themselves. yes.. that is the ticket. Lets "Assume Direct Control".

Well that would work if they weren't incompetent. The bitching will happen. Lets face it Console users just don't know, they are "users" and just click and play. One of the main attractions for users of consoles. No need to think just play. Nothing wrong with that. The game manufactures choosing consoles over PCs isn't their fault either, I would even go so far as to state the current "crybaby" situation and even downright thief of mods isn't directly their fault either because without an outlet for these stolen content or mods (Bethesda) the assets would be useless.

The blame here is solely with Bethesda. There will be stolen content, there will be bitching and perhaps at the beginning loads of bitching and exploitation. However it is through their system after they "Assume Direct Control" so it is something that they need to address and they are proving seriously incompetent in this matter. There will be some "growth pains" as it is hard to predict what will happen when a new feature like this is introduced however this should only take them a few weeks to sort out.

I suggest that they would:

• implement some more standardization on the discipline procedure(s) and make sure it is easily available and understandable in the various languages that is served by their system. 
• implement a more rapid resolution of complaints of theft. (mod can be hidden from users until sorted out any donations etc would be also held that haven't been distributed until the resolution of the complaint has been resolved. Frivolous claims can result in instant ban. Those found with stolen content will also be banned and all donations/monies etc not already distributed will be given to the correct author) 
• Establish a "Procedure of intent" where the mod author can establish if or if not they will be porting their content to the Xbone or PS$ on the mod download page clearly. After that has been done people posting or PM'ing them to change their mind will be met with warnings. After an established # of warnings (total not per author/mod) the member will be banned and all attempts at keeping them out will be taken. The procedure can be increased (# of warnings like say double) if someone post on the same thread within 2 pages requesting a port to Xbone/PS$.
• More responsive "Report" procedure and moderators that can and are willing to enforce the rules without bias those that don't get removed and others established.

Strong enforcement of policies and procedures, changing those that aren't working to more stronger ones, getting moderators that will preform their task will result in the site and the content being properly controlled limiting theft, bitching about not having a Xbone or PS$ version of a mod. There is no need to "remove the option" for future games just moderate the dam site properly. That is all that is needed to be done. Any failure is the direct result of Bethesda now. They took the responsibility for the process and they are the sole party that can provide the content to Xbone or PS$. They are the ones that can and should set the standard for processes and show the communities that they respect the content of the mods that people make for their games and will do all they can do to provide a proper environment for this.

If they fail they will be the ones that feel the pain as mod content creators will start to move from modding into retirement. Their games are "incomplete" and "empty" for most users. Without the mods being created which create in massive replability their games won't be as popular. Lets face it They do provide a platform that is one of the best ones (currently) that provide for modablity however that doesn't mean that people will mod, they will just stop like so many have in the past because of dicks and pricks that feel entitled to be jerks and assholes.

Time to step off my Soapbox

That is valuable assistance for the mod content creator. Very valuable contribution.

One thing you can do to show your appreciation is help others that need help on thethreads etc. Helping the author give support for those mods you love and know about. That is one hell of a thank you to the author. Another is to offer to beta test their mods as well. This is very important as they have been face in the mod the entire time and many times can't see some of the issues that others might when released. This makes for a much easier time after releasing the mod. I have regularly beta and sometimes even Alpha tested the mod for the community.

Looking at some of the captures of the game some people put up one would think that all races are horribly mutated.

well, i never asked anything from anybody...  sometimes people offered me help and i accepted gratefully, but i never asked for anything...  i already feel guilty enough for downloading and using all those fantastic mods they create without providing anything myself, i would never dare asking for something more...

Yeah, I just spent about 2 hours convincing him to forget cbbe and use Jane Bod.  I like that one better.  

The mod theft on Beth's site though is getting crazy.  Saddest part about it is that majority of the mods you currently see going onto nexus for F4 have the " if you see this on another site, its been stolen and I offer no help nor am I responsible for said stolen work. "  I use more mods then I will probably ever create but I believe it should be common sense for people not to do crap like taking a mod they want from Nexus that the mod author says they wont make for console.  Just so console players can get it, even if they know its " stolen " work.   And the sheer amount of idiots defending the thieves just baffles me.

What the mod content creators need to do is figure out a way, script or something that will royally fuck up the console if it is uploaded on Beth's site but will work fine with regular PC :)this will work quite well as I believe most theifs are no talent jerks and wouldn't be able fix any issues. That or a class action lawsuit for Besthesda not providing adequate protection and verification of works uploaded. Much of the stuff would be under their rights as the EULA however much of what is being stolen was and has used outside materials and such which makes it copyrighted and not protected by the EULA. They have lawyers on retainer if not on salary for this so that isn't the issue... the public humiliation is the issue here. Can't beat them in court... destroy them in Public Opinion.

So either the game is SO bad that it needs mods to be playable or it's so bad that well-known modders aren't touching it.

It is an "or" situation it is an "and" situation

The way I see it FO4 gets one out of four; it can be modded...and that's it.

Well part of #4... according to the author and those working with him on iHuman.. the 64bit CK is changing the ESM on the fly. Something that isn't suppose to happen. So it is moddable somewhat. Likely what the issue with mod authors jumping on the modding scene as strongly as they have in the past. There is some issues. However... to be honest the 64bit CK is Beta so there will be issues.

Thanks for not only reporting the problem you had but working through it and reporting back the solution.

there indeed might be many others that have the wrong version of TES. I am not used to all the mods and setup that she uses in her tutorial but do seem to remembe now that I had a similar problem because I just used the version I had downloaded already.. Which of course didn't work.

I find that Unified Hud to be a great help when installing all these mods that alter menu's and the base game UI.  I have used your guide on LL before and have wondered why you never mentioned it.

It hasn't been mentioned because it is outdated. The HUD manager that is mentioned is the one to use now. It works constantly and seamlessly.

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57174/?

Review the page and I believe it even states it is outdated. It also works with MO very well without having to jump through hoops which you have to do with the other managers.

What did you have in mind? I can't say I'd be able to contribute as I'm already working on two mods. But I would love to hear what your idea was and maybe discuss techniques to do with world space formation.

I've made a separate worldspace that ties into a mod in Skyrim. It's not very big, 7x7 cells (a little bigger but everything outside of that is water or icebergs). I didn't use any generation tools like l3dt and heightmaps, I just sculpted it all by hand. It has been fun but it was an enormous time sink (if I could start over I'd do it differently). I have reiterated over it so many times, worrying that it was too flat, too sparse etc.

An idea that I had that must involve a separate worldspace (but not an alternative to the main game start). This isn't one of the mods I am working on currently but maybe for the future. (I've written dialogue for it but done no work in the CK )

I really love the Brotherhood of Steel and I have this huge role play desire to be a scribe in their ranks. What I imagined was adding a new officer aboard the Prydwen that assigned missions for aspiring scribes. You would be a scribe with a group of Brotherhood soldiers who effectively acted as your bodyguards on a mission. You're the brains, they're the brawn. You would board the vertibird on the deck of the Prydwen and a prompt asks if you're ready to undertake that mission. Assuming you do , load screen to you and your team aboard a vertibird coming in to land at the location of interest. Which would be a relatively small worldspace bounded by the Bethesda style obliterated landscape you see around the glowing sea and the "you shall not pass" scripted collision planes to ensure you don't wander too far off mission. The size of that space would differ from mission to mission but nothing too big. As for the mission I envisage it more about getting to know the team you're with. Some of them might be the typical BoS hardass, others much more relatable. And I think a cool metric for mission success would be how many made it back alive, despite the hostilities encountered or, more importantly, any story driven infighting during the mission.

Ah.. in any case that idea you have is pretty good. I haven't explored the BOS questline yet.

Finally a stalker... dam I have been stalking the mod sites for years.

Welcome and enjoy the site.

No sites are 'blacklisted' here that I'm aware.  With that, feel free to link or upload as you see fit.  We're not a bunch of tight-asses or 'because we said so' control freaks.  Provided it isn't illegal, or doesn't break the few rules we have you can do as you see fit.

Personally I would love for you to upload BE here.  It is one of the better functioning mods for Sexlab.

I'll second that. Most of us here (moderators etc) have accounts on other stites and go to and from them often as well. You might see us around So yes. I don't believe there is any issues with linking to sites or whatever so long as you don't violate our rules which are basic common sense. Don't break the law for the most part. If someone feels like they they want to post a mod here and have links to other sites for other mods then its fine. We are all about choice.

Now only a very short time away from the OP we are so very close to 2500 members

I am pretty sure you could create high heels and a dog collar right now :). Someone is working on Spectrum's Toy Pack and converting it over. Perhaps you mightfind something there when it is released.

It is still the same animation and such. The things that you found most offending. I have found some interactions and actions in the Far Harbor that was quite good...

However one of the main quest where you recover memories.  are you fucking kidding me!? I have to do that.. WTF. I was so mad and frustrated I `qqq out of the game and didn't return for a few days. Dam that was annoying. Also it appears now that I completed the main quest line that the other options really don't appeal to me too much to replay-ability isn't there. I just can't believe the other optional paths enough to get behind it.

I played the institute and my main companion is Valentine.. Imagine the issues that arise with that. Anyway if you do go to Far Harbor there are some nice events that occur only with Valentine with you when you travel around there. However apparently not that much. Haven't tried other companions there yet.

actually i was talking more about Skyrim CK then GECK but thanks anyway, i'll keep it in mind...

i think i found a setting that might fix the problem in CK too, but didn't try yet...

If you can't post around and see if there is one. I just assumed it was for GECK since this thread is for Fallout lol

Either, that's your idea of humor or you didn't make it to the "In reality" part.  Yeah, ban away. I'll go somewhere where people have mastered reading comprehension   (I.E. Never never land.)

You are already in Never Never land.  

Mastered reading comprehension, not humor. Funnies just don't work well with aliens I guess. We have to understand humans and I guess we don't know them as good as we thought. Hey at least I found the one single photo on the web with turtles in a bidet ( of course I believe you are joking about turtles in a bidet ... ... ... right?

Anyway it is nice to see you here. Hope you have a terrific time.

Ah.. now I understand you didn't see the content in the spoilers All is ok no harm done. I was just confused there for a bit. I know I am not very funny but most at least knew where I was going.

More more edit: If you find turtles in an actual bidet, I 'll be more than impressed.

Wasn't that a bidet in the picture (in the spoiler) ?

I am a 7 year old transgendered girl posing as an F.B.I. agent.  I enjoy slow walks to the watercooler to vomit.  My favorite color is 70's era car puke green.  You have all offended me because I have one single belief different than yours.  I like turtles, and training stray cats to use the local beach as a sandbox. 

 

In reality: I'm an old chubby, hairy, white guy that used to crossdress and interact with other people, but now uses online interactions and gaming to withdrawal from all non-online (and conventional social media) interactions as much as possible.  Personally I found my make believe profile more interesting and less gross.

Well YOU HAVE OFFENDED ME because I AM a 17 year old transgendered girl . Make jokes about that.. dam you..

actually i have a 4K monitor and Skyrim runs well and smooth but if i play for some time the card overheats and the game freezes (said this way sounds funny )

Ah then it sucks as some of the resources state it will be much better for the 4K monitors than the 980.  Still new enough that you might be able to sell it but it will be much less than you paid for it. However at lest you would get some of the money back to get the 1080
