I've not been here for a while (holy crap the layout) but I trust people's opinions here rather than other places. 

I use Morrowloot Ultimate with many patches. I also use stuff like Wrye Bash for levelled lists etc and TES5EDIT for merging some aesthetic mods that don't have many scripts.

Can I merge these morrowloot patches together to save space, or is there a more in depth process for this than just merging them? 

It could the the 'dxgi.dll'. I figured that out as my problem. Rename it to something like dxgi.dll.bak and see if it still does it. I saw this solution in another thread. 

Reinstall the last driver. I'm having this problem too. The newest one seems to break the SKSE, as uninstalling my ENB doesn't work. The game seems to run without SKSE. 

I'm Beta testing the new Battlefront, which the new driver was made for, so i'll probably reinstall the last driver when it's finished. 

The nexus will never allow or accept any use of other game's assets. I believe they banned a few witcher mods before realising that CD Project Red basically gives you a "do what you like" policy. Any nintendo content will be an automatic ban - Nintendo are the strictest out of any company with assets. 

But I do like your idea, it was good. 

I managed to have a look before it was taken down. 

I have a hard time believing they weren't ripped. They look literally exactly the same as in game meshes and textures. 

Whether or not, nexus mods won't accept the risk of a mod using ripped textures, no matter how convincingly 'replicated' they may be. 

I hope they move to DRM free for further installments, maybe including Oblivion, Skyrim and the Fallout series. The Witcher 3 is immensely successful even with no DRM. DRM doesn't solve anything, it only makes pirates more determined.

The makeup and warpaints are pretty pixelated, it ruins an otherwise lovely character. You should be using the SKSE ini if you're not already. 

It's alive!

 

I need an adblocker please.

Erm..... Adblock? 

Give us a pic or two when it's done, SR-2 rigs are always sexy. 

Don't forget that the SR-2 is one of few server boards that can overclock. The SR-2 can overclock BOTH CPUs. It won't overclock to mad, 4.5GHz clocks, but most compatible xeons can overclock to about 4.0Ghz. That's good because skyrim is pretty CPU heavy, that extra headroom will help. 

Using an SSD is basically a necessity now they're so cheap, I agree that uncompressing the BSAs is a good idea for SSD installations- the load times go down a few seconds. especially if you're running stuff like ENBs and high textures. 

Try and run the least amount of background processes as possible, it can definitely lower framerates on those boards and they're very susceptible to both physical and software interference. 

Swap your 970 over to the new one and overclocked, it'll be more powerful than your i7. Also, don't swap the ram - SR2 is both a server board and a 1366 board, it needs triple channel ram. The stuff in your computer is dual channel and won't work properly. For maximum speed, keep the triple channel stuff. However, the Sr2 can hold a massive 48GB of triple channel ram. 

Oh and if you want to go SLI for some reason for performance etc, you're in a good position with the SR2 as each and every slot is X16. If you run sli, the second card will run at x8 though I think. But you can put lots of high speed gadgets (like a pci SSD perhaps =p) and they'll run at the best speeds. 

Windows 10 is still very buggy, the smart thing to do is wait for a while for them to get alot of the major bugs out, most techs are saying wait 6 weeks or so.

I don't understand this. Any bugs people are experiencing are hardly bad enough to boycott the os until it's fixed. They're a couple of bugs, nothing bad. I've not had one single problem playing any game on my system since upgrading. 

I've had absolutely zero problems playing skyrim on windows 10. 

It is something on your end, not the OS. Reinstall your drivers, skyrim or mods. 

I thought i'd just ask a question since you mentioned Perkma. Does perkma do a good job of building levelled lists, or would it be possible to lootify things in conjunction with Perkma? I don't like to cheat and I'd like to see some mods included in the levelled lists. 

I don't usually do screenshots; so here's one. 

Testing a new Kriss C:

 

also testing blood meshes on a few tactical knife before release ports (￣▽￣)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love those weapons and attire. Where did you get them, or did you make those yourself? 

I would love to get them, it gives me a great idea for a roleplay. 

 

 

Sometimes people make bad decisions. Heck, I made so many bad decisions in my life, I should know

But people deserve a second chance if they realize their bad choice and regret it.

 

The Paid Mods are gone, but the community is still tearing itself apart over it. That makes me sad.

We need an "Unoffical Mod Community Patch". We have to pick up the pieces and glue them together again.

 

Many compared all of this to a "war" or "battle".

If anything at all, this was a proxy war. Valve/Beth pitted modder against modder.

We should not let talented modders become casualties of this proxy war.

 

Of course, like with every war, there are collaborators, they should be shunned. But we should make sure, we shun the right people.

And we should embrace those back into the community that got sucked into this by making one bad decision.

 

Let us set a sign that we are a community, not a corporation where someone gets fired for one bad decision.

Let us show that we are better than that.

 

Peace!

 

 

You're right, completely right. The paywall is gone but the rubble is still there. People are going to take a while before they trust team Sky UI or Isoku again, since they sold us out in an instant. Their mods are crucial and the base of many installations, it's a bit of a punch in the face.

 

Respectable modders should've at the least talked to the community before going straight to paid mods. And I have even bigger respect for the big name modders who didn't go for paid modding or even consider it like t3and0. He was completely against the idea - even though many people would've paid quite a lot for perkus maximus as such a crucial and widely used mod. 

 

 

Man, all those garage bands over the years; they're sellouts! They should have just kept to their hobby and played music for themselves for free!

 

Man, all those artists and illustrators, who have ever made money on something they created, they're sellouts! They should have just kept to their hobby and  done their art and given it away to the public for free!

 

Man, all those people who design video games, they're sellouts! They should just design and publish video games, because its a hobby, for free!

 

Man, everyone who sells stuff on etsy is a sellout! They are all hobbyists and shouldn't make money on their products and give it away for free!

 

 

You're not stupid, you know this isn't about getting paid for their efforts. It's about betraying the entire community the moment money is dangled in their faces. More people would've had respect and even uplifting if they'd spoken about their choice beforehand. 

Most of us disagree not with the whole idea but with the way it was implemented. One day "BAM!" it's right in your face without any warning.

If it was more like a humblebundle style which let you donate the amount you wanted - with the choice of how much of a cut goes to the modder, more people would be on board. Charging several pounds for a sword ripped from DOTA is not the right way to do things.

Update: After discussion with Valve, and listening to our community, paid mods are being removed from Steam Workshop. Even though we had the best intentions, the feedback has been clear – this is not a feature you want. Your support means everything to us, and we hear you.

It might have been more in this and the role which ever one has played. Although it looks like victory day in reality the casualties were big. The community has lost or get in quarrel and dispute with people who didn't deserve it, who have been unfortunately in the wrong timing of the events. A damage on the reliability about all has been altered. So anything that is dividing a community is the worst and the "innocent people" who have fallen in these grey days have suffered.

A testing condition planned long way back on 2012 has revealed that many want to earn in back of others. So the time for rebuilding has started and all of us must do the best to help.

In the name of Talos rebuild Skyrim.

p.s. Read about the origin of Talos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talos

I thought this was appropriate.

Thank Mithras. I knew from the start that they'd see sense pretty quickly. It probably won't be the last we'll see of steam trying to economise modding though. 

I've had a good read of that reddit and thought about the key failings to this:

My problem right now is there is no quality control. How will steam deal with a mod that requires Sky UI's newest version? - a paid mod or soon to be. It's those kinds of compatibilities and quality control failings that make this a terrible idea. 

There's nothing to stop opportunists overcharging or even stealing mods from the nexus and reuploading them.

Piracy is already a thing - all of the paid mods have already been torrented. 

Possible DRM for modding. New games will limit the availability of mods to the workshop only.

Censoring that means nudity or graphic depictions or just something valve/beth doesn't like will just be pulled.

Support issues won't be handled properly. 

New games won't be very moddable because of selfish modders keeping the tricks of the trade to themselves so they can potentially monopolise the market. 

This won't stick and Gabe as well as Valve will pull it, claiming to be the heroes of the platform for seeing sense. 

Game developers want a cut from a mod that people have already bought the game for - greed in it's lowest form. 

CD project of witcher development give away the games very resources for modding and would never put up with paid mods. They are a company for public service - if this paid modding crap goes on maybe everyone should jump ship to the witcher to mod. 

At least we can still get CBBE outfits for free then. Since they rely on the body which Caliente is insisting is free and outfits can't be sold for payment, we still have some hope there. 

I care more about outfits than anything else. Weapons are sure to be sold for ridiculous prices, especially if bethesda is endorsing certain works. Sky Ui really disappoints me and it's just incredibly disappointing that so many people betray the community when some money is dangled in front of them. Isoku said he'll put his current versions on nexus - only after getting some 'pocket money' on the workshop. I don't like sell-outs. I've lost jobs and quit jobs because the client wants to pay less or my co-workers wanted more for the project, I don't like people who want more for doing the same thing they've always done. It's not like these modders are going to be giving us more mod for our money either, they'll be the same SkyUI and Wet and Cold - with a pricetag. 

I don't care I have a lesser experience because of this, I will never pay for a mod, unless it is something that special - like falskar. But even Falskar's author has said it will be forever free. Same as with t3and0 and insists his will be free forever. 

I appreciate donations for authors - that is a good thing. If you love the mod and can't play without it then a couple of quid is fair enough, but charging £3.50 for a suit of armour is just abysmal. 

It's just a shame we'll most likely see a rise in piracy of mods now. 

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gabe-newell-says-valve-will-dump-paid-mods-if-they/1100-6426893/

Gabe has already said that if it's bad for gamers, valve will ditch the paid modding service. The backlash has already started to work - people will not buy mods because modding is sharing. I dislike people who expect modders to do this and that; they do so because they like to or because they want to give to the community. I never expect modders to do anything - I'm just happy for the next awesome release, no matter when it comes. 

How about just completing the game yourself and keeping a backup to mod for later? 

Or do people not PLAY videogames anymore? 

It is only 'the universe' because we have no decisive or visible proof of other universes. I'm sure we'll name our universe something idiotic and unimaginative when we find another universe - then we'll give that one a cool sounding codename. 

That loverslab completely dropped facebook integration (or they've just gotten better at hiding the links) and won't let me use my first account as a result so now I have to make a new one just to use the site.

Because facebook is a pile of horseshit 

As someone with a broad range of music tastes, japanese included - BABYMETAL is a fad. 

It's an interesting fad though, as it blurs genres and boundaries in music and I can see this genre becoming a mainstream norm in japanese music. I'm not a fan but I can see why some are. And elitist music snobs are right in their own way too, it has been done before in most other countries, with the lolita thing wearing pretty thin now.
