>you can now have a fully modded skyrim in less than 5 minutes without any bullshit

Mods I am not a paid shill I'm doing it for free.
Anons this shit is awesome. Modding Skyrim used to take ages but with collections I got it all working in a single hour and didn't need to tweak any settings once. It's a fricking game changer. You owe it to yourself to finally do a modded game using a collection.

Unfortunately, they always use the ugliest npcs with no way to change. If you get the nsfw list, it includes the degenerate trash mods.
the problem with collection is that you're at the mercy of someone elses shit tastes
>less than five minutes
>got it working in an hour
Which one is it, shill?
What the frick are you talking about, vortex has been around for more than a decade
Oh wait, I thought it was some bundled collection. lol wtf.. how else was OP modding before if not a mod manager?
I'm way too picky for that kind of thing. At the same time, it may be good for newcomers. Who wants to waste their time like I did actually knowing enough to be "picky" about mods?
>fully modded skyrim in less than 5 minutes
What's holding me back from using mod collections is the fact that I have to autistically know what each and every single mod does(game settings or script-wise) so I know how to deal with them in case something goes wrong.
I don't trust mods enough to function 100% plug and play.
This right here. Instead of just playing a preset pack for a mediocre game, I'd rather play a different game entirely.
Besides, I'd still have to install e-girl mods on top manually.
Collections don't hide what mods are being installed you Dingus. You can look at what's inside and even remove something you don't want. Collections just does the work of patching and removing conflicts for you.
You can then install individual mods after. Collections are just to get the essentials over with
I switched from mo2 to vortex and it's working much better. But feel free to explain what exactly is wrong
>You can look at what's inside and even remove something you don't want.
>Collections just does the work of patching and removing conflicts for you.
Those two are mutually exclusive, why do you shill so much?
I don't understand what you're not grasping here.
Do you think Vortex somehow dynamically does the patching and conflict sorting, like magic? Because if so, lol. Just lol.
Nobody said vortex did that my little moronic anon.
Do you not understand the concept of a curated list of mods made by the modders themselves that sorted out the conflicts together.
But I know modders are the most autistic group just below speed runners so you're probably a twitter troony with no experience socializing. You talk like a homosexual with no friends. If you don't want to use vortex just say it and frick off. I'm just trying to shill for anons who don't give a frick to waste their day modding like you.
>remove something I don't want
>shit breaks
Vortex is a complete piece of shit, use Wabbajack if you want a one-click installation.
I'm kind of tempted to try out that 2000+ mod list. It's like 330Gb.
Elysium and Aldrnari are both good, yeah - you'll get bored of the character before you get through all the stuff in it.
Does wabbajack have collections? Otherwise it's useless. I'm fricking done modding 1 at a time. I'm only using collections and if anything really catches my eye I'll add it after. I'm not switching to a platform without mod packs
Wabbajack had collections before Vortex did, that's its whole reason for existing.
That's neat. I unironically paid the $8 for nexus premium just so I could have collections installed instantly. But thanks for the info
Wabbajack also relies on nexusmods premium API to automate downloads (with a bum account you'd have to manually click every download) so it's not wasted if you end up trying WJ.
That 'Synthesis' app that lets you patch in keywords from github is pretty good.
I have nothing against collections but learning how to mod in the old fashioned way gives you the knowledge to pinpoint any possible problems and conflicts, if they happen.
>Vortex
Vortex is unironically fine as long as you install scripts manually and only do some mild modding.
Any decent big sized mods and you're looking at MO2.
vortex is gimped shit and you're fricking yourself for using it
Just use MO2 from the get go
no
fricking moron
Can't hear you over how much im enjoying my modded skyrim experience installed by vortex.
Doesn't really matter for the end user if all you're after is ready-made modlists, but WJ does use MO2 for all its modlists and not Vortex. For installing mods yourself though, Vortex is just straight garbage, no question about it. Everything it does, MO2 does much better and more.
Vortex took ages to even implement a virtual file system. Vortex is a fricking hazard, you can actually break your game.
Anon no one is denying it had a rough start but it's genuinely the best choice now. You're wasting your time with other mod apps
Anon I advocated for mo2 for a long time but it doesn't use collections.
And at this point if you're installing mods 1 by 1 you're doing it wrong. Really, it runs fine. Your info is outdated. It's working even better.
It's called Wabbajack, and it uses MO2 for a good reason. Vortex is shit due to its inability to sort certain file types (2 years later) and the fact that it doesn't properly remove some files when un-installed, leaving you with a dirty mod folder.
I hear it's getting better since they actually hired the guy from wabbajack to do consultation, but it's not there yet.
MO2 can't into collections and never will. Don't get me wrong I fricking love MO2 but if you're just a normie who wants a quick coom set up without any hassle there's no reason not to use Vortex. MO2 is for people who actually want to learn how to mod
wow op that's amazing totally not old news at all
I want a chink npc replacer because it looks better than all the shit currently out but can't get it working
which one? Maybe i'll help
Skyrim Npc beautification Kaz 3.0
I can't even find that on google.

Lol that's a virus, just get Pandorable, Bijin or Kalilies like a normal person.
yeah downloading from 3dm is asking for a virus. What specifically are you struggling with?
If you are talking about KZ NPC, that should work outside of the box. Are you sure the load order is correct of KZ-Core -> KZ-ELF/(subraces etc?). Or maybe you are getting one for the wrong version of the game, npc mods need porting between LE and SSE.
Tbh though, imo KZ npc is only good for non-human NPCs, JH NPC and B&B 126 NPC are what I personally build on top of it.
>vortex
Everytime I mod an rpg.
>spend hours installing mods
>the game breaks and crashes
I would love investing hours, but I cant even get the reward for spending the time. Collections seem like the only answer.
You don't just install them willy nilly you mong, first you check all the dependencies and conflicts for every mod, and even after that you have to do manual patching with xedit.
Not with collections. Not when you have someone do it for you
It's exactly why collections is so good. No more headache.
I do check dependencies, conflicts, the mod pages, and then I run it through LOOT and double check the load order. I have to scrap the entire game because i have no idea what goes wrong.
>and then I run it through LOOT
Lol.
>Not with collections. Not when you have someone do it for you
They aren't vetted at all, you don't know what steps the list maker made (if any).
Thats some intense paranoia
If it's endorsed and downloaded by thousands of people then you know for sure it isn't broken. The time you save is more valuable. At this point I get burnt out from modding before I even play.
>If it's endorsed and downloaded by thousands of people then you know for sure it isn't broken.
lmao
Ok, spend 12 hours modding then. My time is clearly more valuable.
And your next post will be
>But you're posting on Ganker with me
12 hours of modding wiener mods isn't the same as making 1 hour to discuss mods.
12 hours, lol they'll be ironing out the bugs for weeks.
>i-it can't be bad just because its popular and everyone talks about it, r-right?
braindead consumer homosexual, the fact that you need 1000% the filesize to enjoy a game instead of it's vanilla counterpart makes you a double-Black person, considering you don't even care enough to learn how the game works and what those extra files are even doing to the game
>12 hours
I spent at least 15 hours before starting my 4th new vegas playthrough figuring out mod dependancies and engine related nonsense and then I thoroughly enjoyed the playthrough, knowing how to easily solve bugs and crashes, while you'll forever be an adhd Black person that can only spend his time on dopamine rushing cattle content
have a nice day
It's always some random bullshit that conflicts everything. It's why you get a collections modpack that does it for you. It's usually made by mid authors who creat special patches specifically to get it to work. Modding 1 at a time by yourself is too risky now.
You will install 60 GB of porn mods on your own and like it way more.
>nexusmods
>vortex
rumao
Are there any good coomer packs?
Not point me in the direction of the collection where I get to go around plowing milfs as a chad shota
If you are seriously asking, on ATF theres a thread about a pack with all the mods needed for e-girl/shota stuff. I have not installed it myself but it should add the shota and e-girl playable races.
Modding Skyrim is a mental illness and you can’t convince me otherwise
>collection includes moronic 3rd person combat mods, floating info for overworld items, the shitty old map mod instead of new one and prostitute barbie NPCs
Yeah, no. There's not a single collection I can stomach. I'm the only one who makes good modlists.
What mod can I use for the third person body visible in first person? Immersive Camera works in 1597, but that seems to break even basic stuff like Follower tweaks.
I just want to download 1 file and then apply it to my game and then play a fully functional porn game. Is it too much to ask?
It's not, that's literally what I'm trying to tell you
https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/xxsqm4
You install vortex. You add this collection. Follow the instructions and you'll have a fully modded porn game.
>ctrl+f rape
>0 results
Got a collection that isnt from a bunch of normal gays moralists? Jokes aside I guess it does make stuff easier, I wonder how easy it is to add stuff or if the game will just implode if I tamper with the files.
Collections just skips the boring part of adding the 100 essential patches and graphic mods that brings Skyrim into 2020. If you want to add more, feel free. But it's up to you to find out if it conflicts big boy.
Ummmmmmmmm sweetie Todd kept it up to date with the 64bit engine.
Does it also run FNIS and Bodyslide for you? I think that's probably a big barrier to entry for noobs, especially with all the permission problems you get if you don't manually install FNIS to your actual data folder.
Only mods I would care about would be vaultmans armor mod for realisitc early medieval stuff and mods that reduce size of swords and axes. Also functional spears.
MO2 shits all over this.
Imagine believing this
Mo2 can't use collections. And collections is now the official method of modpacks. They're curated lists of mods that let you skip downloading mods individually or checking for conflicts because the creators do it for you.
If you want to waste your time downloading all essential mods individually that's your choice. But vortex is is easy to learn and take out all the work of modding
>vortex
why should I migrate to this when I already use MO2
I played the game modded 10 years ago
doesn't use of wabbajack require a full 20 hours of constant surveillance to install a pack
>not using an autoclicker
5 minutes my fricking butthole.
Wabbajack exists for ages now dude
Also
Okay, so you mod skyrim with 1000 mods. The story and quests are still shit though, so whats the point
Because I lied, I don't play Skyrim modded, I was playing oblivion modded
>Spend days getting my mods all working
>Finally play the game
>Bored because the combat and core gameplay are still shit no matter how many mods you throw on top of it
>Repeat every 2 years
One day I'll learn.
>using vortex instead of mo2
the main story is still bland as shit
skyrim extended cut will never come out
can you combine collections?
Why mod a shitty game?
Is wabbajack good?
I sort of want to play skyrim again but frick I don't want to spend >5 hours modding it again, I've done it so many times already, is there a way to install some kind of a modpack all at once?
Yeah. Heaps good. Heaps of different modlists with different overhauls. They're all very stable as well.
I recommend downloading "The phoenix flavour" as your first modlist if you haven't played modded skyrim before.
>nexusmods
frick you homosexual lover. I'm never going to use nexus again.
>now
I am pretty sure modpacks been a thing for years now.
By the way, anyone here plays the game with those? I want to know if they really are stable. Personally I just rather install mods individually.
What are the best modlists on wabbajack atm that uses simonrim?
Septimus got retired, which is a huge bummer.
Collections are a hard crutch with limited control that just gimp your own ability to fix things, expand on them or mod the game without fricking up. Don't fall for them unless you just don't care about modding very much. There's a reason people say to stay away from modballs and that's all collections are.
>gate automatic mod donwloads at speeds higher that through smoke signal connection behind a paywall
>remove one-time lifelong subscription to said paywall a month or so before rolling out collections that require automatic downloads to be a true one-click experience
Frick Nexusmods. It's full of homosexuals and Black folk.
Also, frick Skyrim. I've got like 500 hours in it before even starting any questline. I decided to playthough every guild quest and the main story. Boy, this fricking ruined Skyrim for me. Every storyline is full of stupid moronic shit.
Companions and Thieves are the most infuriating questlines of all.
Source on mods in the pic?
I want a draenei PC with a horsedick is that doable with nexus mods
No, such mods are patreon only.
any mod collections that has those dark souls combat mods? its janky shit but its better than vanilla
Except the only way skyrim is good is with animation replacements that makes the combat more like dark souls, and that requires extra steps that vortex cant handle. So no, modding skyrim isnt done in 5 minutes.
I wish I knew what people see in shit like Skyrim so I could become rich selling bad games to moronic people.
Does Vortex have virtual folders yet? If it doesn't it will continue to be nothing more than a joke that unexperienced players fall for.
How does it account for game version differences? Also I just want a mod manager that will tell me which dependencies I need rather than collection shit.
>download a morrowind wabbajack modlist
>stop playing because jumping make your character slide over the ground, the cause is, for some reason, the fps count. play 30 fps without sliding or 60 fps with sliding
>download skyrim wabbajack modlist
>get bored after 4 hours
oh well
I tried installing mysticism 2 - a magic overhaul via vortex. game crashed after bethesda intro but before main menu every single time until i disabled the mod again. there are no missing dependencies and vortex doesn't show any issue either. what now?
I unironically enjoy spending a whole weekend manually picking and installing mods then creating a spreadsheet to plan my character.
Also most of those mod packs and guides include a bunch of bullshit that doesn't fit the lore or are personal preferences.
I spent a whole month installing New Vegas mods for a full playthrough. It was worth it.
The proper way to do it.
Next time I'll probably create an installer of some sort with an extensive readme.
vortex? isnt that old news? what changed
Modding Skyrim to make it look like overwatch Holy frick I hate the saying but have sex
That one mod that tries to emulate the visual style of Borderlands unironically looks great.
I like mod collections but sonetimes they add stupid shit who makes the player a demigod or too much ooc stuff.
but the real question is
does ATF have a mod collection?
skyrim is boring no matter how many mods you cram down its throat
