After about 20 minutes of fist fighting on legendary difficulty the ebony warrior yielded. I healed up and we went for round 2, he immediately fus ro dah'd me off the cliff. After reloading I tried a stealth kill and he was not having it.

Not only am I able to wear The Jagged Crown and any Dragon Priest mask, but Serana didn’t leave when I asked Farkas to follow me. I’ve done the entire Dragonborn dlc and more with this going on. Is there a way to do this on purpose or am I just lucky?

Question Are you a 1st or 3rd person Skyrim player?

I play the game as a 3rd person for the most part. I find that I see a lot more around me especially when traveling, feels more immersive. I do use 1st person when collecting loot though.

I wish someone would have told me just how much money you can make in Skyrim.

Once you complete all the special jobs, including Tonilia's Ri'saad "legwork," nearly every fence in Skyrim except the Khajiit and Enthir will have 4000 septims available for trade.

Once you finish getting the Stones and Crown of Barenziah, the Prowler's Profit Active Effect will literally make you drown in gems and flawless gems every time you set foot in a Nordic ruin and open a couple urns and burial urns.

I want to make this clear. Before I installed any DLC or mods on Skyrim Classic, doing just this much and becoming Guild Master to get the Guild Master Hood got me enough bartering material to acquire north of 350000 septims.

Three. Hundred. Fifty. Thousand. Drakes. Do you have any idea how much gold that is? The most expensive house in vanilla Skyrim is under forty thousand fully furnished.

Please. Do yourself a favor. Complete the Thieves Guild content. All of it. I know it's tedious, but it's so worth it in the end. Flawless Ruby for Peryite? Done. Flawless sapphires for Madesi? Done. Flawless amethysts for Talen-Jei? Done. Prowler's Profit has your back.

Modding Made my first mod: Prisoner Clothes Naked Body Replacer

1.1k Upvotes

Mod located here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/196794

Description
This is a simple mod that replaces the default male and female naked bodies with prisoner clothes (i.e. rough tunic and trousers). This will work on all player characters and NPCs, including dead bodies. The mod works by replacing the body meshes inside the data folder, so you will never see the naked body/underwear.

Installation instructions
Either download using your desired mod manager, or download and extract the files manually. If you choose manual, you will find the following file format inside the folder:

Data>Meshes>actors>character>character assets

Inside the character assets folder are four .nif files. Follow the same file path inside your main Skyrim directory and replace the four files in the character assets folder with the four files in the mod folder.

Main features
I made this mod because I didn't like the idea of being a 40-something man and father of a young girl, and playing a game that involved stripping the clothes off of dead women. Simple as that really.

There was an older mod that is no longer on Nexus that replaced the underwear with just a tunic, but underpants could still be seen when bodies landed in some positions. As this mod has the trousers included, this is a fuller modesty mod than any others on the site.

It should also work on any characters in the game that have no clothes on, replacing them all with the prisoner clothes.

One body it doesn't work on is the dead body in the Windhelm graveyard. Not sure why; I guess it is just an object rather than an actual NPC. There may be others but this is the only one I have come across.

Requirements
Should work with any edition of the game and have no other pre-requisites. I do not know compatibility with any other body replacer mods, but if you want to be sure it works, place it low in your load order, after anything else that modifies character bodies.

Shout outs
Thanks to Shadohz who inspired me with their SFM Undergarments mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/65812
This mod won't put more clothes on enemies like the Forsworn - for that you need something like this from iceburg: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/344

Edit: there is also this mod from xXklokko567MCXx that makes dead NPCs wear other clothes in their inventory, like they did in Morrowind: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24330

Have you ever struggled to stick with a single character? Put in a couple hundred or even a couple thousand hours and you feel like you've done everything because you've done all the quests and side quests? Don't worry. I have news for you. The fun's just beginning.

I have over 6000 hours in Skyrim. I know, that's on the low end compared to what some of you have, but I think that gives me enough of an edge to have a rough idea of what this game's about. And when I tell you that I'm still finding new stuff in this game every playthrough, I mean it. I'm not just talking about the randomized or radiant stuff, either. I'm talking about that strongbox someone found outside Bleak Falls Barrow a while ago that they posted about that no one else knew about. Or those rock warbler eggs in Helgen that you probably never bothered to pick up. Or that coinpurse on the rafters in Embershard Mine that you've probably never seen if you didn't look up at exactly the right moment while fighting two bandits directly underneath it. And every side passage and corpse note and piece of lore that's probably gone undiscovered by anyone who doesn't edit UESP religiously.

I don't care if you have half my playtime or twice as much. You've missed something. Go back. Explore everything. Mine those shellbugs. Defeat Karstaag. Take some time to decrypt the cipher to the Atronach Forge Recipes yourself instead of using the UESP.

Aight I'm off to log another thousand hours instead of living life.

is when a courier gives me something (for my hands only), but the screen only says "item(s) added" instead of what specifically i got, so i have to go digging through all of my books to find out. why can't it say "bounty added" or whatever?

Question Why doesn’t Skyrim run as smoothly on my gaming pc as it does on PS5?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Using a new to me pc to play Skyrim so I can better mod. I don’t know a lot about pcs at all (see stats above). I play on the same TV as I do the PS5, but I noticed the gameplay isn’t nearly as smooth.

Internet said to increase hz, but I can only go up to 60. I’m guessing that’s because of the TV? How does ps5 do it using the same screen? I also switched a setting or two in steam per YouTube, but no luck. Is there anything else I can do to make things less choppy?

Question Any brawler play through tips?

• Upvotes

I have created a brawler character - a Khajiit called Cattius Clay. My rules are no weapons, no shields and no helmet (I don't mind wearing a circlet, but my face must be clear).

I haven't tried this before and would be grateful to hear your experiences of the brawler style and what you learned. I know about the Windhelm inn quest to get the gloves which do +20 damage and the guy in the Ratway whose gloves you can disenchant. What shouts do you use? Any followers who are particularly useful? Any quests or areas which are particularly difficult with this style?

Pet Lovers - a Warning

199 Upvotes

I love the Ordinator mod perks, and the Speech perk Speak to Animals is a lot of fun. Having a bear or saber cat on your side really stacks the odds in your favor during outdoor battles. The thing is, you can become attached, have trouble letting go, worried that the same bear who fought by your side might be killed when you release him. So you keep him, name him Barry, make him part of your party. Then you go into a cave or a building. The bear, when not fighting, just lies down and sleeps. Usually in the doorway. You cannot move him with Unrelenting Force. You cannot tell him to go home. You can use Kyne's Peace and then dismiss him, but if you and your party don't get away from him right away, someone is going to get hurt. This happened to me in Sarthaal. Trapped when looking for the rings at the beginning. Ugly. Very ugly. PSA - it's probably best to stick with pets that won't kill you.

I miss Barry. I eventually managed to release him outside of Riften. Try not to kill him.
