Hey Ty for the tip!

Hey thanks man, I appreciate that.

Hey, this is redux or ultra?

@@SyracKuse i honestly don't know what you're talking about, sorry man

@@ItsDilios yup ^^

the game is for linux. what is your window?

400gb of weight this "game".

It’s definitely a lot of fun

What specs are you running? I'm curious to try it but don't exactly match the recommended specs

@Scott423 i built a higher end AMD rig. 7900xtx, 7800x3d, 32gb gskill ddr 6000 cl30 ram, b650 edge mobo, noctua nf-a12x25 fans, lian li dynamic evo case, corsair rm1000x shift psu, 4tb sn850x ssd, Lt720 cpu aio.

@Kamehaiku Wooo that sounds sweet. Enjoy!

@@Scott423 just have i7, 32 gb ram and at least 10gb vram

@@gankstrap I've got 16 gig ram. Maybe I'll give one of the lower spec versions a try.

Bethesda’s probably going to fuck up ES6. When that happens, I’ll drown my sorrow in all the mods I haven’t tried yet

don't you DARE tempt Todd Howard

@@deepth0t186Todd Howard should be behind bars

Theres the Redux version, theres different ini settings in the nolvus dashboard, theres likely ENBs with way better performance.

@@willie3232 And there's also Puredarks DLSS 3 Frame Gen mod if all else fails (5$)

4k is the problem right there. Try 1440p. If you won't have a native 1440p monitor, try the "Resolution Downscaling" option during installation. If, and only if you did not select "DLAA" during installation, and you chose the only other possible choice, TAA, then you can enable resolution downscaling if you do Nolvus Dashboard -> Manage -> Instance -> Settings. If you need to delete your instance and reinstall from archives, remember to back up your saves folder and add them back in after the new instance is installed again in about 30-60 minutes

It's a combination of "Boreal Whiterun" and "Fortified Whiterun" among about a dozen smaller mods that change individual details about Whiterun specifically.

Actually, those were just the mods that I have installed for the "Redux" variant of this modpack, but I recall hearing that the "Ultra" version adds a lot more clutter around cities, so it could be completely different mods for "Ultra". Don't know.

I completely agree with you and while I do not know if that is possible to do in this mod I will say The music in Nolvus is pretty good and it does sprinkle Jeremy Soules Music through out the score.

@@ItsDilios I think that you can to back to vanilla music easily enough. Just remove the Nolvus music patch as well. If, however, you wanted to remove just one or a few music mods but keep the other music mods like the amazing "Hun - Lovaas" music mod for combat, then you'll need to figure out how to use xEdit to create your own music mod patch because only the music mod in the lowest position in your load order will win over everything otherwise.

Thanks man. I'm running a 3070 ti with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 32gs of ram. It runs decently for me. There are other download variants for lower tier systems that are available on the Nolvus website. Give it a try!

Get it asap, it’s like playing a remastered version of Skyrim with tons of new content.

Yeah I’ll take an ENB or two and parallax and call it a day. Anything over 50 gbs and I turn my head. Let alone 800 effing A

I believe used the one that recommended a 2080ti.

Thanks man!

Yeah, I’ve had no issues since the update

LOL

How did I not notice that through playing and editing lol.

I’ll try to brighten it up a little bit going forward….it has been a bit dark. Ty for the input!

@@ItsDilios thanks btw, i was actually talking about the game settings itself, you kinda sold me to this modpack, but i dont like playing with such light settings, for your videos it would help as well😅, but is there a way in the modpack to ajust those settings?

It’s working with the new update…..a few crashes here and there though.

Nolvus auto downgrades the game version automatically.

Commentary sounds fun I’ll consider doing it in the future. But yeah don’t worry I won’t drop the series, I plan on doing a full Playthru of Nolvus!

@@ItsDilios that made my day😁👍🏾

I was just thinking about trying out one of the crazy new game overhauls (what i’m calling them cuz it makes sense)

@@ppp.stersk1 Go for it man, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah I believe I did deactivate any alternative start.

Not for me. I do have the occasional crash but nothing major

Nolvus was updated a week or 2 ago. Follow all instructions and it will work. My first time modding.

I assume you were asking about if a Skyrim update breaking something? It won't matter anyway. The Nolvus installer automatically downgrades the Skyrim version to SkyrimSE for mod compatibility but keeps all of the AE Creation Club content, then copies all of the vanilla game files into a separate folder called "STOCK GAME" so even if you were to update Skyrim on Steam, it would not be updating your modpack because there are two copies of the game that can have different versions.

It has been working great for me.

Hey thanks for the tip!

www.nolvus.net/modlist Here is the full Nolvus mod list for ya! Pretty easy to install as well.

Maybe in redux but u will have to play low settings

I didn't choose the alternate start mod so that might be why.

​@@ItsDiliosthanks, wish unbound still could offer the vanilla start as an option.

you can uncheck that in the modlist in Nolvus if you selected it during installation

Thanks for the tips man I appreciate it!

you are welcome also sub ya

I have been playing for 30 hours now with only one crash 🤔

I haven't had any major issues. A crash every couple hours.

Left alt.

It's a selection in the alternate start mod. It's say something like "Caught crossing the border"

Its only an option when you are first installing the modpack using the 1nstaller. By default, it is vanilla start.

Yes. You will have options to run on less intense specs. Just don't max everything out. Im running 7900xtx, 7800x3d, getting 45-50 fps outside, 60-65 fps in caves and indoors. Everything maxed out

Also, don't be afraid to opt for the downscaled resolution with TAA anti-aliasing option. It was the difference between me running at 25 FPS and an average 60 FPS almost everywhere with some momentary dips when the game, I assume is working on loading things in the distance. The vasceline effect isn't too bad, and I get used to it after a while. At least text, to me, is plenty readable, probably thanks to the TAA.

Oh and to save you some time with the installer, don't choose DLAA because it'll lock you out of changing to TAA and downscaling the resolution later unless you delete the whole instance and reinstall from archives.

Oh nevermind, DLAA isn't an option for you anyway with an AMD GPU.

@ex0stasis72 guess I'll have to use my 4090 rig. 😋

I forgot the name but it is the default one that Nolvus provides

@@ItsDilios oh probably pi-Cho. Thanks!

Thanks!

Here's the full mod list www.nolvus.net/modlist

It's all automatic. You barely need to do anything if you have Nexus Premium.

True, this is why I tend to like to scale my difficulty up by increasing the number of enemies that spawn and leaving the vanilla difficulty always at adept for the sake of immersion and no damage sponginess.

It's in the description of this video.

Thanks!

PC only I believe.

PC only because most the gameplay mods in this modpack require SKSE, a third party .exe file that you run the game from instead of SkyrimSE.exe.

LOL! Thanks man

Based on a different comment reply of his, he picked this version: "Ultra Variant (Ultra Performance LOD)(Ultra with no grass in the distance and 2d lods)"
