Skyrim Anniversary Edition: Creations Paid Mods Showcase - East Empire Expansion! 

No problem at all! Its an excellent mod 👍🏻 I enjoyed how lore friendly it is. It fits really well into the game 😁. And the voice acting is top drawer 👏🏻. Did you notice the couple of issues I had regarding some of the conversations? At 1:51:15 Laila Law-Giver wouldn't speak, and at 26:50 I got locked into a conversation with Sha'khar. The former I only experienced that one time, I've not replayed that part since, but the instance with Sha'khar I went back and replayed it 3-4 times and the same thing happened each time after I emptied the whiterun chest. Unfortunately the only way I was able to bypass it was via a console command which I did in this video, without this I had to close Skyrim via ctrl alt del as it just wouldn't respond 😅. I don't have any mods loaded other than 5 of the Creations. All of them minus the armor one. Is this something you've seen before? It's not a major issue, but may have been if I was on console perhaps and had no way of resetting Sha'khar. Looking forward to seeing updates to this mod 😁👍🏻

@@mike-thegamingdadThe Sha'khar thing we have resolved for the next patch, before then - anyone reading this with the same problem- if you wait a minute, the the conversation will time out on its own so you can manually talk to him. Laila is likely resolved as well, with the 1.0.1 patch, there was a bug in my CK install that I didn't know was there and it caused the upload to miss several voice files.

@kinggath excellent news thanks for the quick response! 👍🏻

Haha yeah it's the game people always return to, it's still got such a massive audience, even after 12+ years

Keep on with this series 😮😮

@DavidFreeman-wb5tv don't worry no plans to drop either of Skyrim or FO4 😁👍🏻

Yeah it does feel like it fits seamlessly into the game, I like it so far

It's excellent isn't it, a really simple idea but implemented really well. So well actually it feels like it should just be in the game. I'm not sure I thought the 10% was cut of the mining profits, but we didn't get that far (wish I'd thought of trying one of the relics in the mine 🤦🏻‍♂️). I'd have to test it to see, if that is the case, I'd hope your cut could be increased if you cleared more areas or the mine operation got larger

@@mike-thegamingdad Ah…you bring up a valid point regarding the 10% cut. It may indeed be based on the mines controlled. It really makes the mod a whole new game within the game. Amazing

What does the update include? And what is the name of this addon?

Sounds good will check it out! 👍🏻

@@mike-thegamingdad East Empire Expansion Modified (Patch)

@@Leto85 - Prisoner Belonging Chests are no longer valid targets for Relic use, this should prevent an issue where being arrested could trigger the EEC to delivery all of the players items to the nearest outpost. - East Empire Mercenaries are now flagged as “Friend” to the player, so they will be more likely to attack NPCs the player sees as enemies. - Modified banner spawning code to confirm the 3d is loaded before setting rotation. This should prevent future claim banners from appearing to be floating behind the post if it is spawned when the player is not in the area. - EEC Delivery Containers and Strongboxes should now update in realtime even if the player is in the area. --- Previously, they would only update if the player was not in the area when a delivery/deposit was made, or the player would have to wait an in-game hour for the items/gold to actually appear. - Remastered audio on several audio files to better match the base-game volume level. - Modified automatic sales code to track time more effectively so that it can trigger from natural time passage, not just during large fast travel/wait/sleep triggers. - Fixed several subtitles and player dialogue options to better match the formatting that is typically used in Skyrim. - Fixed a bug where a delivery container or strong box could end up perpetually showing Empty, even if items/gold were awaiting the player to be picked up. - Fixed a bug that could cause the Hagraven and Drowned Mage NPCs, that are part of some of the alternate paths to convince two particular Jarls, to not appear correctly.

Yeah its a hard one to do justice in a video as it's just not meant to be played at that speed, but hopefully it's enough of a flavour to see what the jist of it is 😅. I liked that they incorporated it as well, it probably needed it to be honest, that quest for me felt very isolated. The enormous east empire company, yet their presence in Skyrim was so small

Thanks Mark 😁

No worries 😁👍🏻

Amazing, welcome back! I also starred on PS3 11 years ago, then PS4, now PC 😂

Haha yeah it's great for clearing the decks 😅

I did wonder who he was! Will have to go back and retry that bit 😉

Good to know thanks! 🙌🏼

Yeah I saw ravenrock mentioned, will have to get over to Solstheim. I like that this mod slowly changes over time, feels like it will be a good one for a new save

@@mike-thegamingdad yup exactly I have been super enjoying it

Thanks yeah I've just heard, will have to go back and see what he says 😁👍🏻

Yeah I thought that's what it would be, got confused as to how to actually get one up and running but I've since been told once an area is clear, you need to fill a container in it to trigger the EEC spawning at the location 😁

@@mike-thegamingdad Yes, exactly. And once the EEC takes over, they place flags outside the entrance and some guards inside. Even when the area resets, these flags are still there. And that means they will fight with you. I had that happening in Wolfskull Cave.

@Leto85 that sounds great!

Hey yes they do currently, annoyingly. I'm hoping they fix that still but wouldn't bank on it. What I do though is I switch them on for the save(s) I want them in and then switch them off when playing other saves I'm doing achievements

Not 100% sure as I don't own a PlayStation anymore but if its not visible maybe not, I know not all of them are because some contain external assets, which Sony has never allowed (one of my biggest bugbears with PlayStation. Incredible console, very frustrating that modding is extremely limited)

Oh really, thanks for the tip will try that next time 👍🏻

I'm on my second playthrough with EEE, and on neither playthrough did picking up the note give me a quest marker.

Oh really? I've seen comments from other posters saying he is. Apparently if I'd have worn the ring given to me, then that triggers a conversation where he recognises you as part of the EEC and gives you Intel on the Winterhold jarl 🤔

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I hope they add these to the Switch as well eventually 👍🏻

​@@mike-thegamingdad Also use the hidden merchant chests not sure if I put this in that comment but that I think worth a try to get free loot shiped or best of all sale it and get gold afk style every 2 in game week that pass;)

Sadly, no, these new creations do turn off achievements currently. I hope that they correct that. There is a mod which re-enables achievements. But I'd like it if Bethesda actually made these so achievements were allowed still. Otherwise they'll just limit their own number of downloads

On pc there is but not on xbox :( i only use truly deadly poisons and just got this EEE mod

@kevlyon yeah exactly, which is why I'd like Bethesda to address this themselves and fix it, but I won't hold my breath 😅. What I've done for now is have these enabled for a save where I'm not bothered for the achievements. But for other saves (like my let's play), I just go into Creations and switch these off
