Is it possible to use this as a guideline?

[rayhne]

I'm hoping to just use this as a guideline, since there are several things on here I don't use  or really want to use or like something else better but I am trying to set up a good play through for Legacy of the Dragonborn. Any advice is welcome.

[Darth_mathias]

there are currently 2 guides that use SRLE as there base that also use Legacy of the dragonborn.

 

SRLE Extended LOTD - https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Darth_mathias/SRLE_Extended_Legacy_of_The_Dragonborn this is my own guide and adds a lot of extra mods to the base SRLE. (this use Ordinator as it perk overhaul)

 

SRLE: Legacy of The Dragonborn Reqtified - https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Paul666root/SRLE_LOTD_Reqtified This is by Paul666Root this brings 3 awesome things together SRLE, LOTD and Requiem.

 

If you don't want any of these just install LOTD and use the Patches available at Legacy of The Dragonborn Patch Central - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72921/?

Thank you. I'm using your guide right now but am customizing it a bit (I did the same with the main build). It may turn out to be a mess that I'll need to redo but I am learning so much; finding new and interesting mods and learning the tools and what can be merged that it will be worth it.

 

One question for you. I hit the section in your guide that adds Skyrim Flora Overhaul but there is no mention as to what to do with the SFO we add in the main build. I assume you delete the previous version?

use this https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Darth_mathias/SRLE_Extended_Legacy_of_The_Dragonborn_Integration_guide

there you can see in colors what is removed and what i added or modified

I plan on going through that but right now I'm confused with using Darth's guide. I pointed out the SFO but now I'm looking at Unique Flowers & Plants, where is says to remove the esp but then says to go into XEdit and edit the esp.

that link is from darth's guide

[rayhne]

I know. I saw it at the top of the page.

You need to remove the SFO from Base as this will reinstalled for extended i might of deleted the notice by mistake I'll fix that

you need to remove the ESM file from Unique Flowers & Plants and use the esp file instead and that is what you edit.

I figured that out. :) Thank you.

This is turning into quite an adventure ...

I guess my biggest problem is working around UNP ... really don't want it but there seems to be so much of it. :(

[Darth_mathias]

good to hear your having fun.

[rayhne]

It's also turning into a major headache. Trying to work around UNP is a pain when so many excellent NPC makeover mods don't have an option not to use it. :(

[Darth_mathias]

well i am not sure you can easily use the female NPC Retextures without the UNP bodies installed. Can i ask why you would want to use UNP?

[rayhne]

I don't want to use UNP. I have a hard enough time with the unrealistic and downright dangerous armor for women already without adding more.

 

I screwed up with my setup (not surprised) and have to start over again. I'll look at UNP and Better Males but honestly those mods make me cringe.
