What mods do you use to pose a character? I have FINS any recommended poses here? Visually I have ENB anything else. Any tips would be great! Thanks Death Octimus

This may not be about mods so much but has anyone got any tips on improving base aesthetics and mods that improve base aesthetics? Any maybe some that make life easier.

I was wondering if anybody out there who has played for a while with the DCO mod can give a few tips and tricks on how to fight dragons with those new mechanics. For instance, How do you counter the stagger of a landing, taking-off dragon? How do you approach close combat regarding those new mechanics? How do you manage Become Etheral and Dragonrend for dragon fights? I played with this mod for quite some time now and Dragon fights are really boring without DCO so I wont uninstall it, but Im tired of fighting dragons with arrows, so im looking for some strats / pro tips from others who played a lot with the mod and are accustomed to it. Also, I have Deadly Combat and Simply Tougher Dragons, so my dragon fights are quite the challenge. DCO: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32597/? DC: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5485/?

Tips, Tricks and general mod talk to make Skyrim stable on even a low end potato.

hello everyone, i play SV a decent amount and even upload some to youtube, i also help out several other players and youtubers, through all of this i decided that there are several mod ideas i wish to create myself, however it would seem that info on how to make a mod for this game is rather rare. i am hoping that between the community members we can find, consolidate, and brainstorm ways to do different types of mods on here. i will try to keep the main post up to date with the current modding tutorial/tips. the main types of mods which i really wish to learn how to do are these: 1. tools 2. weapons 3. blacksmith trades (or even an entirely new npc) 4. maps 5. totems 6. crafting recipes 7. accessories 8. buildings 9. animals 10. tv shows 11. events/festivals 12. fishing mini-game (planning on making a game as challenging, but more realistic and easier for those with arthritis / carpal tunnel) 13. house upgrades 14. new foods 15. monster spawns 16. monsters 17. giant crops i know this is a big list, and there are way more things to add, but i want to try and make a full modding help topic

In this video I'll show you how to: 1, Build through any part of the existing or player built world/map. 2, Use doors in custom door frames and entrances. 3, Some advanced tips on how to lift objects into the air using custom made tools. https://youtu.be/IIYQJfvNAjA Making custom doors is easy: 1, Build a door frame 2, Place a door in the frame 3, Delete the door frame and the door will be floating. 4, Place an object like a spiked pole very near the door so you can lift the door with it. 5, hold e on the spiked pole to lift them both and you can position it in your custom built frames Trying to Build through the existing world can become a real problem. using this method you can place items literally anywhere with out any conflicting collisions. here is how: 1, Use a pole to lift the object you want to place through the map 2, While holding both objects (make sure the object is green not red), Open the console with the ` key (Next to 1). 3, Click on the object you want to place through the map to make it active for the console command 4, Type Disable, then press enter, then type Enable, then press enter. 5, exit console mode. Now your still restricted by the depth and range of the pole but your main objects clipping position is locked in place where it was disabled, so it can be easily placed any where with out conflict. This is advanced and you might need to watch the first video I put out showing you why and how to lift objects with a pole. If your like me and you use poles to lift objects into the air, this tip can save time levering objects higher by resetting the poles depth by increasing the objects size in the console: 1, Grab a pole in build mode 2, Enter the console 3, click on the held pole to select it in console mode 4, type Setscale 2 (this will set the object to size 2, set the vale as ".07" and it will reduce in size. Now the object is bigger you can lift more with it. In the video I also show you how to get around the camera freaking out because your holding such a giant pole.

Hey all, Share the knowledge, make it easy for us, begginers :D :P

A brief welcome... Hi everyone I want to make a nexus community managed guide to RTS, where we can all share our tricks and tips in rts nw, as very few of us really can expose and use all the potential of this great mod, anybody is free to add something valuable to the guide or to ask, or just to really browse and look for a helpful post !. -Drum. The "rules" - First and foremost is to keep a sense of standarization in the post, whenever you write a post make sure you write it like this. Tittle of the topic -step 1 -step 2* *optional addition or alternative to step 2 -step 3 *optional addition or alternative to the whole topic. -Name of the writer. also search before you ask or write, in you're asking, then someone might have answered your question before, if writing search for the topic you want to write to see if someone already did, and if they did and you want to add you can: Topic #1 -Addition or Alternative -step 1 -step 2* *optional addition or alternative to step 2 -step 3 *optional addition or alternative to the whole topic. -Name of the writer. If you want to make another chapter of a topic: Topic 1 - Chapter 2 If you want to make a bridge between RTS and X mod: Topic 1 bridge with X If you want to edit something because its wrong: Topic 1 -Edit And so it is, now you might ask why but the answer is simple, this is a guide so to ease the search of a specific topic you use the seach bar in the upper part but it will be more effective if we have all in order. and the last rule is to not fall in any conflict of ANY nature this is a public forum and we have to respect each other. The purpose. To exploit all the potential and to see all the possibilities of the RTS NW mod and to write it and document it so the community can use it as an open source.
