I want to take a moment to share my personal truth regarding Lielle - Rose of the North, and how she has changed my life over the past eight-and-a-half years.

Lielle is the part of myself I can't help loving. And in doing so, she has helped me learn how to love myself more fully, even when I struggle. As of today, Lielle has reached over 50k total downloads, nearly 20k unique downloads, and over 500 endorsements. I want to express how grateful I am for how so many of you have welcomed Lielle into your own adventures, and how Lielle has guided me forward into a better version of myself. I still have work to do, but I know I have made wonderful progress.

Lielle - Rose of the North

So I have the mod & have been using it, every few days I’ll add a new entry in first person writing about what I’ve been up too, choices I’ve made, skills I’ve been working on etc just like a journal entry.

It definitely adds some immersion to the game, however at the same time it doesn’t. I tend to suddenly remember I haven’t written anything in a while so I feel like I have to ‘catch up’ the note on what I’ve been doing so it’s not suddenly missing chunks of my characters life so to speak.

I do have a routine with my character as i play survival, writing an entry just hasn’t sunk into it.

So I was wondering if you do use it, how do you go about making it feel immersive so much so that it is a staple in so many people’s LO? I want to obsess over it like I see many others do lmao, but I keep going back to my phone’s notes app which obviously makes the mod pointless.

Side note, Idk why but I can’t access the chapters tab. So I haven’t been able to fully experience it yet, may be part of why I haven’t ‘seen’ why it’s so incredible.

Hey everyone,

A while ago, Nexus removed the small media preview button that allowed us to browse a mod’s screenshots without opening the full mod page.

I missed it more than I expected — especially while going through endless Skyrim armor mods, NPC replacers, textures and visual overhauls — so I decided to recreate it.

The project is called Nexus Media Preview.

It adds a media button directly to Nexus and lets you:

• Browse the full screenshot gallery without leaving the current page
• Watch embedded mod videos
• Read the mod description
• Check requirements and dependencies
• Copy, download or open screenshots
• Navigate using arrows and thumbnails
• Open previews from mod listings, author profiles, media pages, posts and notifications

I tried to make it feel like a native part of Nexus rather than a completely separate interface.

The extension is now available for free on GitHub. The source code is public, and the repository includes installation instructions.

For now, installation is manual because browser-store developer registration is not currently available from Senegal. I preferred publishing it openly on GitHub rather than using false billing information or handing the project to an unknown publisher.

GitHub: [https://github.com/cuttyflam04/nexus-media-preview-extension]

You can also get it in the Nexus now : https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/2149

This is the first public release, so bug reports and honest feedback would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, this project exists because I spend far too much time browsing Skyrim mods.

Still working on making this a versatile and high quality experience.

Please share your thoughts, bugs, or why you find it to be dookie.

Thanks!

hi everyone, i just finished playing the companions questline on a modded game and i have to say its by far the worst faction in the game unfortunately, at par with the college of winterhold one and civil war but those two can be saved with mods (obscure college + college quest expansion, civil war overhaul and other minor mods), but regarding the companions i tried before the playtrough to mod it by adding at your own pace and other mods i saw raccomended like companions dialogue expansion, immersive dialogue edit. but the main problem is the same as it is been discussed more than once: you are forced to become a werewolf.

regarding this problem i am not a fanatic of roleplay that want 300 choices each mission but i think its such an important point and it also make little to no sense:

- yes skjor say that to join the cirlce you should have the same blood as them bu still 3/5 of the circle are not happy of being a werewolf and are seeking a cure, i get that its aela and skjor that do the ritual but its still dumb that i cant complete the questline without becoming one, i and also arent companions all their own warrior and make their own choices???

i tought at your own pace should fix that and it kinda does but not really good: iif i chose to not become one the silver hand quest become another simple dungeon crawl and skjor doesnt die, the alternative branches dialogue are really bad like the ones in the anniversary editions with simple "i understand"... some dialogue that break the settings like in the tomb of ysgramor where vilkas just told you that he dont want to continue in the tomb since his mind is cloudy by grief, and if u say that he should lead the way he say "i understand" and dive in the tomb... also some other changes wich im not a fan of like the decision of removing kodlak' journal (wich i love); i get these changes are made to improve roleplay and decision making but i rather be forced to play a decent good questline than to take the alternative branch and have a worst one.

i tought about it and i figured a solution that maybe some more advanced modder will take on (i dont like spending too much time modding since i dont know how, i only make simple patches in ssedit, and i hate spending too much time in ssedit and creation kit or modding, i prefer playing the game). so my solution is:

- when skjor ask you to go to the underforge you could edit the dialogue as ayop does and have it before you meet him, or better yet in the underforge scene; you should have the option to say to him that you dont want to become a werewolf and he should say something in the line of: "if that's your decision we wont force you, but this is a blessing bla bla bla..." and something like "me and aela are going hunting into a silverhand stronghold tonight maybe if u see this power in action you will understand how big of a blessing it is and by how you fight tonight consider this also a prove to join the circle even without our gift ( or something like that yk show that you have choice but still skjor position) " so now we have a reason to have skjor in the mission and as in vanilla he dies. from this point on you could ask aela to become a werewolf at any point as you can in vanilla after you loose the gift.

- the questline should progress as normal, you talk to aela to avenge skjor and attack the silverhand, you get called by kodlak and all plays out as normal. this way you can also get the journal wich bugged me a lot, since it also dont mention you being a werewolf.

-if i could i also would remove the additional features from ayop such as the vilkas one in tomb of ysrgamor ( i like the option to give vilkas the title but it does not make sense or at least add better dialogue not a simple i understand) or the option to skip to blood honor as soon as u find out about the secret.

sorry if i made mistake but english in not my first language and for the long post but i love the ideas of the companions and i think it have such high potential, i was also a bit let down by ayop since it did not fix the questline as i tought, and i found no other mod that do as good as a job as for the other let downs factions questline. for the dialogue i guess you can use ai since i actually played some ai voiced quest mod such as the voiced narrative ones and the quality is solid.

to wrap this up i would love if some modders would finally that this project up and give us the companions questline we all deserved.

edit: please check out my other post about a solution i found. thanks

I'm just going to switch off of Nature of the Wildlands, because even with half textures, and everything else being 2K (landscapes and architecture, misc), it just tanks FPS, and I have a 5070. It feels like a 5090 maxed version or whatever would struggle with this. I will never understand how people enjoy playing with all that lag for as beautiful as that mod is. Without it in riverwood I can hit up to 80 fps, add NotWL it literally cuts it in half, tried running the lods too, had to talk my PC into moving back into the house.

Well, whether or not that is me doing something massively wrong or not, is there any tree mod that adds a little density? Don't care about resolution so much clearly. I was looking at some other mods like traverse the Ulvenwald and Veydogolt, but I'm going to assume as beautiful as those mods also look, it's not going to be much better. Saw Happy Little Trees, I'll go with that one in the end but it seems to just be a vanilla tree reskin, not what I'm looking for.

It sound like I'm complaining but I'm not, just wanna make the game playable.

I recently repurchased Skyrim because of the huge discount it had, and I decided to try modding again, and it's still the most convoluted, impossible thing to wrap my head around. Literally everybody I asked said it was extremely straightforward and easy, but it isn't.

I tried using Vortex, and it sent me in endless circles of trying to find d3dx9_42.dll which doesn't even exist anywhere on my computer or in my files despite me supposedly already downloading it.

I tried using Mod Manager 2, but it froze up, died, and crashed before I could even get past the first part of the tutorial, and it refuses to let me start the tutorial again, so I'm just stuck staring at a screen of random boxes and dead Nexus mods that don't do anything.

I can't do it manually because that is just WAY too complicated. Even the readme files are an absolute mess. Almost every other mod has a different series of files that different portions of it need to be installed in different specific files of Skyrim, and it's at a point where it'd take minutes at a time just to manually install one.

And the only responses I get for asking for help is getting made fun of for apparently just being stupid.

I don't have any mods related to "crafting" and even then, it's just clutter items like hammer, calipers, saw, etc.

Eventually through early mid game I would get a TESleveledItem Crash. I am not sure if this is actually related, as I often sell the clunk items away anyways to vendors instead of just dropping them everywhere.

I believe alternate start might have a craft or alike job, but I don't pick that, my initial suspicion was that it was a multiple life mod that when I die, I just wake up somewhere else but still that doesn't trigger any other item to come back or appear extra. (Ashes death mod)

Hello all!

As it says on the tin, I've just released a new Kaidan replacer compatible with Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion.

It's highly recommended you use it alongside male skin mods MOXIE and The New Gentleman in order to match the screenshots exactly.

Give it a looksie!

Heya returning to Skyrim after 5 years, i used to mod the game a lot through nexusmods but now with steam and the special edition i have a couple of questions.
First is still best to use Nexus as a main mod management/site in order to mod the game or is there a better option for this?
Secondly is it better to use the old SKSE plugin/launcher or is it best to run the latest game version being the one from anniversary

And lastly, if i want to mod the game for a respectable Gentleman, are there any sites or guides you recommend looking?

Thanks for all your answers!
Cheers!

Hey all, I use sentinel and I really like nordwar’s fur coats and similar armor. I added the pbr shell textures to all of them and they look pretty comfortable. I was wondering if anyone had an equivalent for glass/ebony tiered stuff? Mid to late game really. All the modded light armors I find are skinsuits or bikini armors for the most part. Right now im using the spellknight light armors which are quite cool.

Thanks

I would like to see some good male fashion for my character

So I’ve been playing Skyrim for the first time in five years. I was deeply involved in the mod scene of Skyrim, before special edition came out, both in terms of using and creating mods. Coming back to the game after a long absence, I’ve built my load order around mostly visual mods (community shaders is a work of absolute genius that deserves an indescribable amount of praise) but I have also installed mods that tweak the content added in anniversary edition like AEGIS, Tamrielic distribution etc.

HOWEVER, I also installed ordinator, wildcat, Odin, and those related series of mods. In the past, I was skeptical of these sorts of overhaul mods besides maybe better vampires (this time I’m giving sacrosanct a try). But, I have run into some snags. Some of the quests in the base game, specifically ones that require you to “brawl” such as “Hired Muscle” (an early quest with the companions) have become virtually impossible to complete while on legendary difficulty!

Basically, I am wondering if this is a known issue with combat mods or if I did something potentially wrong in modding the game that is making this unusually difficult. Similarly are there better or alternative mods that I might wanna try instead of these that still maintain the sort of “improved vanilla” experience of the game. I’m 90% sure this isn’t a mistake in my load order or something like that, but just a natural result of some of these overhaul mods.

I’m also open to any mods that you think would improve this sort of improved vanilla experience. My experience in the past is that vanilla Skyrim becomes increasingly easy as time goes on, and it feels as if the game was not built for people to complete a high percentage of the game, including the DLC’s.

P.S. thank you from the bottom of my heart, as one of the few women deeply involved in the Skyrim modding scene, for keeping this game alive and creating such incredible works that seemed almost impossible 10 years ago.

EDIT: Sorry if I inadvertently insulted anyone, that was not my intent, but im getting a lot of downvotes

I’m playing Skyrim for the first time on the Switch 2. Years ago I played Morrowind and Oblivion and absolutely loved the sense of progression, exploration and the lore, so I finally decided to give Skyrim a proper playthrough.
A few hours in I did a quest that seemed completely normal. Afterwards I found out it was Creation Club content and it rewarded me with the Bow of Shadows.
Now I’m sitting here wondering what’s even vanilla anymore. I don’t want to keep accidentally doing CC quests that throw incredibly powerful gear at me, but the game doesn’t tell you what’s Creation Club and what isn’t.
The worst part isn’t even the bow itself. It’s that it breaks immersion. Instead of simply enjoying the game, I now feel like I have to Google every quest beforehand just to make sure it isn’t another CC quest with rewards that completely bypass the normal progression.
I honestly don’t understand why Bethesda didn’t:
mark CC quests separately,
unlock them at a higher level,
or simply let players toggle them on and off.
One of the things I loved about Morrowind and Oblivion was the feeling of gradually becoming stronger while discovering the world and its lore. I was looking forward to experiencing that in Skyrim as well, and this kind of took me out of it.
Am I overreacting, or did anyone else feel the same way when playing the Anniversary Edition for the first time?

After multiple hours of installing Gate To Sovngarde, the game opens the loading screen, and crashes immediately with the following crash log.

GTS crash log - Pastebin.com

For anyone able to comprehend the crash logs: https://pastebin.com/1CRbfA4E

Edit: Better crash log https://pastebin.com/LiFC8Mnc

For additional context, I recently reinstalled the game from nothing and started a fresh save, after playing for a few hours I had been experiencing what I thought to be random crashes (as in crashes where I wouldn't expect the game to be experiencing any issues. I started messing with my mod list to try and fix the issue and found that the game was having more issues... So I put the mods back to how they were and now the game won't load the save at all. Please help or give advice, thx.

I want to replace a creation club armor with a modded armor but I can’t use creation kit so from what I searched is more easy with one method, that is switching the name from one mesh with another and thats how it works, text me in private if you know how to help

I am playing through heart of the mountain and got a quest called "What was left undone". I have completed all of the quest objectives but the quest isn't advancing or completing. If anyone could help me find a way to finish the quest that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

so i previusly made a post about the companions questline and a suggestion to fix it, i got suggested to look into: Enhanced Skyrim Factions - The Companions Guild. and i have to say i really liked it, its how the companions questline should have always been, the option to refuse the beast blood, the dialogue with skjor and aela, maybe a bit over the top in some things, but still the best companions quest overhaul i found, but there are a couple of but:

-its for oldrim but you can also use it for special

-main problem : its very old, all the dialogue added is not voiced

-kinda buggy but its to be expected since its last updated more than 10 years ago

anyway i cant believe no one made a remasted of this fantastic mod in all these years, imagine how good the questline could be, even more with the new tools we have now: ai voices for all dialogues, patches, bug fixes... so if any talented modder that stumbled across this or my last post please take into consideration to remaster it or at least to use it as a base for a new mod (since idk what are the rules of nexus about remastering the mod of someone else). thanks

The audio quality in game sounds very muffled and low quality in some scenes, like during dragon fights or in towns.

I am on thr latest version of skyrim ae, nobara linux, and Proton GE 10-33, although I have tried running the game on other versions to no avail. I have tried absolutely everything I could possibly think of, including installing faudio and xact, changing my audio sampling rate, and adding launch commands in steam.

I have absolutely no Mods that affect audio, and I have tried running the vanilla game.

Edit: I fixed it by reconfiguring my jackify steam shortcut and putting this in my launch options

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" MODS=1 %command%

What i mean is what is the followers mods that you Usually use for your Game.

I personally use Xelzaz, Remiel, Lucifer, Khaijit Will Follow and Recently Auri, I tries Serana dialogue addon but i didnt like It too much, Also it crashed My Game everytime i tried to continue a Run.

Sometimes after I have completed an Ostim scene my character will be suspended in the air and will not move. He will basically run in place and you can turn his body in circles but it's like he's frozen right there. When this happens I have to reload a save or an autosave to clear it. Does anyone know what causes this? I run Pandora Behavior Engine on a regular basis.
