Nope, not done yet, nowhere even CLOSE! So, first. It took me a couple of days to get it working right. Because I wanted to use the LAL Relic Hunter start, that meant uninstalling and removing Skyrim Unbound. Unfortunately.... NMM doesn't deal well (um.... okay, doesn't deal AT ALL) with the scripts - and it took me a while to realize why things seemed.... wonky.... even after the update patch from icecreamassassin which fixed some things that got patched wrong. I wound up having to physically delete the actual scripts from SU which were left behind. Now, the next thing I want to state is that - this mod (well, hell - you can't call it "just a mod".... it's like a whole new game - and about the same size, content-wise, as all of the DLCs together) adds a LOT of content, and "repurposes" some of what's already in the game. The best thing so far? It gives you a framework for actually DOING things that are super-fun, things that I for instance had forgot to do because of the way I've been playing for the last year or so. It gives you absolutely a reason to do every dungeon in the game, become thane of every hold, complete every guild questline.... And let me just say, yes, dragonborn Kynsynna may be, but I'm having a huge amount of fun with this! You don't have to do any of that - you can play using Skyrim Unbound, no dragons, not dragonborn. You can use the galleries to store your stuff from armor to uniques. LotD has a lot of mods "built in" to have display space - Cloaks of Skyrim, Skyrim's Unique Treasures, Gray Cowl of Nocturnal, and on and on. I'll be a while getting anywhere close to finishing this. At some point, I'll likely want to go back to SU for someone - and at that point, I may just set up a second Skyrim install because you absolutely cannot use NMM to swap between SU and LAL: it's just not possible. And I just love the archaeology thing that goes on! |

Hmm well looked at the Web page.. meaning read most of it.. not all.. <sigh> I will not be able to use it with Asherea, even if I start over ( which I don't want to do really). The mod Author recommends not using it with Sex-lab framework, which Skyrim Romance 3.0 needs to function ( animations) ...and as that is an integral part of her story.. bummer... But now I am wondering if it wouldn't be better suited to a "Dwemer scholar" play through..From the description it just might... |

Actually, sis, I was thinking that's what you might do with it! It didn't sound right for Asherea.... Stick went out yesterday btw - husband actually got there before Dave left.... Duh. I forgot to link it *sigh*.... Thanks! |

IDK The mod Author says it's not a good idea to use sex lab or O-sex with Legacy. I didn't read through the whole "read me"... as I didn't have time right then. I will before I add it in... My guess is that it's not a "conflict" so much as that they add instability. ..though I have not really had any issues with them. |

I think it's probably the amount of scripting and animation juggling - LotD is HELLACIOUSLY huge on the scripting. I haven't noticed any issues - but then I don't have a lot of other heavy script mods. You might just do a search on google to see if someone's posted somewhere about why it's a bad idea. There's no way to search 48k posts.... when I tried on the nexus forum thread backend looking for an answer about something or other, it choked and died after about 10 minutes.... |

Now that makes a lot of sense, sex lab is just a framework, but anything that uses it would be script heavy also. .. o-sex is script heavy. .. I use sex lab for the framework. ..so other things work.. plus Skyrim Romance IS going to be massively script heavy...so better not to use it with that anyway. |

Okay. Update. Yes, it's fun. I'm having one HELL of a time getting the sequence of "events" to work though. As you add stuff to the displays, a counter keeps track. At every 50 items, something is supposed to happen. So far - and I've started 7 girls, testing various things to see what might be borking - NONE of the scripted events is firing. I'm pretty sure this is something with my entire install (the whole game, not just LotD). In order to verify that.... well.... it's going to be ugly. I'm going to have to set up a new game folder, and tell steam where to find it. Then I'm going to have to make a vanilla install again from my disks and have steam verify the files (and hope I don't have to download anything....) Then I'm going to have to add ONLY UNP ('cause I can't play without it), LAL, and LotD. And see if it works right. I'm not listing all what I've tried - because it goes on forever, and I get all frustrated again.... *SIGH* But I have tried just about everything. Including reading all the docs and articles until I'm crosseyed, and then posting on the mod page - which didn't get me any further on either. |

Sere if you've tried this just ignore. ;) Set your timescale back to default of 20. I know some scripts won't fire properly in mods at all if it is altered. iirc correctly yours is at 8 from another post. :book: P.S. read the following quote on the FAQ. Not sure if doing the step outlined would fix your specific problem, but it definitely points to a timer issue at least for the quoted instance. "Q: auryen isn't giving me any rewards and I haven't been given the sword of ancient tongues by him A: sometimes the update timer malfunctions for some people for whatever reason. Use the console and enter SET DBM_REWARDDELAY TO 0 and wait 24 hours. Auryen should then greet you and it should work from there out" Edited by Brambleberry, Mar 22 2017, 09:56 PM.

Yep. First thing I did was start a girl at vanilla timescale. Didn't help. Next thing I did was use the console to reset the rewarddelay, waited 24 hours. Didn't help. Are you running LotD now? |

Not running LotD. Have it tracked and am waiting for it to come to SSE once skse64 gets done. I am VERY tempted to fire up SLE just to try it it out though. I've read the full guide and ... dang! .... it just sounds amazing!

It is amazing - even with the issues I'm having. A place for EVERY DAMN THING.... and I am getting the Finders Keepers quests every 5 days or so - but I'm not getting the people who visit the museum at 50/100/150 displays, etc. I've been thinking about reinstalling from scratch anyway - after making .bsa files out of all the mesh and tex folders in all the mods I'm running. Lot of work.... when I just want to play this mod.... *shrug* We'll see. |

Dang.. wish I could help but as soon as I but legacy into Lucien's load order.. I get constant CTD's.. something I have is not compatible.. and it's not something on the list, cause those I already took out.. I put it in a "test" character with only my "base" mods and it ran fine.. Of course it's always possible I just have to many heavy script mod's going at the same time.. and that is the issue. |
