There is no longet a list of disabled plugins in the latest versions, all mods should be enabled (except possibly the optionals, which should only be installed and enabled if you own Anniversary Edition Upgrade).
Hi! Don't know if you'll see or read this, but after struggling with the installation I'm missing the mod "Male elementals" because it's been deleted from Nexusmods. Is it alright?
Thanks so much for the help on nexus! I followed the written instructions so I missed the sort and deploy in this video! Cant wait to play and possibly stream this pack!
The best collection available and the only one that enhances the game without adding an encyclopedia of new commands and systems. Everything added fits right in with the Vanilla game. Awesome work!
"I installed all the mods manually" What? Are you saying you installed 1300 mods manually to save €5? Come on even in a 3rd world pophole, your time is better spend???
@@Varangian_af_Scaniae I can multitask lol. Do some 3D in Maya, install mods, do some texturing, install mods, watch a video on RUclips, install mods. Wasn't too bad.
Hi, for everyone that doesn't have a Nexus subsription its actually not one click, it's over 2600. You have to install each mod manually beating the point of a collection in general. Might want to mention this somewhere as it took me a while to come to this conclusion.
@@kevinprzy4539conflicts can be resolved, not always a game ender.. really just sounds like a faulty installation.. mine was completely fine other than two masters missing which was easy fix
For anyone having an issue with crashing on Bethesda logo/shortly after: I had the same issue, couldn't find any missing masters, sorting and deploying didn't work. I ended up uninstalling skyrim and ALL of my mods. When I cleared the download folder from Vortex I found out that it downloaded only about 1200 files, so it wasn't complete. Try uninstalling skyrim, get rid of all your mods, delete all downloaded mods from vortex and do a fresh install, both of Skyrim and the collection. Afterwards it worked fine for me.
Just had another super smooth installation of V49! People, remember leave Vortex mostly alone while it does its thing, and if you get messages like 'Damaged Archive' Arissa and Grimoas Plantigrade Feet, just delete them and Vortex will redownload them again. As the video says, if Vortex doesn't move for about 15 minutes, just close Vortex (pause if you're able) and reopen. FOLLOW THIS GUIDE! Just 12 minutes of your time will save you a lot of frustration ^^
Recently, I returned to playing Skyrim after my initial experience on the release date. As a novice, I’ve had moderate success adding mods and expanding my collection. However, I eventually grew bored with the trial-and-error process. Now, I’m as excited as a kid opening a present as I uninstall and clean install the game, eagerly waiting for everything to download. The fact that it runs smoothly on the Steam Deck is an additional massive bonus
First, I love your collection. I believe it to be one of the best available mod lists for Skyrim today. I say this from the position of having tried many mod lists, both of Wabbajack and Vortex based installs. I have over 4,300 hours of time in Skyrim playing. I am not a streamer, just an old guy. Nevertheless, despite loving your mod list I no longer play it because Vortex is not the best platform for large list like these. Why do I take this position? Vortex takes about eight times more to install on my PC then a similar sized or even larger Wabbajack client installed mod list. Once installed, Vortex has an issue with believing the list is not installed right randomly and wants to fix my install even though it's not broken. I know that Nexus is trying. I am a premium member with a gigabyte line and a good desktop computer build so power is not an issue either. This is just my own individual experiences; I understand that others do not have similar ones, but I thought you should know. I have tried to use the updated Vortex client even this morning, but the eight hours install, deploy, configuration process is more than I have the need to tolerate considering it takes me an hour or less with the Wabbajack client. I wish Nexus would support either or, so we the consumer could determine what works best for us. Best of luck to you though, it is an impressive list.
@@JaySerpa I will look forward to seeing that and install it once it becomes available. Please let them know I am available to help Beta test the list if they need anyone. I have helped on other mod list authors' projects through Alpha and Beta. Keep up the great work, love your list, love your mods for the game too.
Where does Wabbajack take their mods? Plus if you are that old you have lots of time. I just wasted the whole evening installing this collection with Nexus's slow download. On some mods I reach my max 11MB but most seem to hover around 3-5MB. Then the game crashes at 3-5 sec load.
This was the smoothest modding experience I've ever had . I left everything to download and by the end of it, I only ran into the infinite loading screen cause SKSE somehow wasn't enabled but after that hiccup I played for 5 hours straight. And I haven't played modded Skyrim on PC since 2014. This is amazing man, thanks so much for putting this pack together!
Your brilliant collection brought me and my roommates back to Skyrim. Played for years but wandered off and this feels like the homecoming we all wanted. Thank you for your hard work 🤍
I had an issue when I did my normal mod cleaning prior to a new install/run, but I followed this video for attempt #2 and it worked perfectly. So far I'm really enjoying it!
thing is i tried this one, just curious about it, then i discover survival stuff in it wich i really don't like much, so i revert back to my old installation on mo2 and it was messed up so i tried to fix it and it just go worse, so i bought the AE based on this collection i tried to fill a new one with mods of my choice but surprise some critical mods are not available for AE so really i'm crying, a couple more failure attempt to find replacement mods for the missing loved one and nothing again so i choose to turn back here. If i like it or not survival mode, this collection is really something that add immersion and a way to play skyrim pretty different from i played in this years. So i just wanna say thanks to JaySerpa for the collection and to all dedicated modders that have made this possible. For those skeptical i will say git it a try.
For anyone that had to clean and verify their Skyrim folder before starting, make sure you go into the creation club afterwards and re download all of the creation club content (if you own anniversary edition). My dumbass didn’t understand why so many mods were missing dependencies- all the optional files had nothing to fix haha. Has to be done manually in this case it won’t do it automatically on starting the game after a clean and verify. Hope this helps someone
I just installed over 1500 mods by hand, it took me about 15 hrs and i hate my life, on a good note, it was 100% successful, my only issues were from my own fault, such as missing 1 cc master that i accidentally didnt download so i just disabled/purged, loaded vanilla, downloaded, and re-enabled mods and works flawless.
Thank you for the list and for all your contributions to this community! You are amazing! However, I really wish if GTS was on Wabbajack as Vortex has a lot of issues with installation
Hi good video, but i have an issue here. I have done everything you said (sort the plugin and deploy the mods also), but when i launch the game it crashes like 2sec after the loading screen appears. Thank you.
dude these modlists on vortex never work, this one is no exception, went and downloaded it on wabbajack and it took about 10x less time and worked no problem. cool modlist, just basing it off of a nexus mod list collection was not the brightest idea
Yeah, I decided to download it to give a try as my first vortex modlist, but for my suprise, it is even worse than wabbajack to download it without vortex premium xD
@@DonAndrew Oh the download is nothing. The real pain in the butt is how Vortex can just decide not to deploy/enable some random mods and leave you to figure it out. Or the fact that it has a tendency to freeze during the installation process and let you wonder whether it's just a visual glitch or whether it's just dead. Or how the Collections website never remembers your login and you have to type it in manually every time even when opening it from the Vortex software where you're already logged in. Jesus Christ, I hate this piece of shit software so much. The fact that I'm biting the bullet and actually using it is a testament to how good the GTS collection is.
Ok so, i will describe exactly how i did it. First of all i have uninstalled my game and reinstalled it then launched it once. Before that i also removed all my previous mods and clear all the archives. Then i've waited for the downlaoding and the installation of the collection to finish, sort the plugins, deploy the mods and launch the game with SKSE. BUT when the loading screen appear, the game suddenly crash like 1 sec after. Please help. And sorry for my bad english i am not a native speaker.
Never excuse something that people haven't bullied you for! Your English is fine! The big problem is this collection that seems to crash for many people!
Got the infinete loading screen loadingscreen even after following all the steps, it seems to work well after restarting vortex though. Thanks for the help Ill try the modpack tomorow.
I have done everything exactly how I'm supposed to and it won't work. If I set SKSE as primary the game immediately crashes, if I don't then it just loads forever
See the pinned message! "There is no longet a list of disabled plugins in the latest versions, all mods should be enabled (except possibly the optionals, which should only be installed and enabled if you own Anniversary Edition Upgrade)."
I managed to get this collection running on the Steam deck with lowered settings and capping the FPS at 30, a lot of pop in on some places but still looks loads better than Stock.
Hi. I'm currently going through your instructions guide. But I hit a snag. Vortex won't allow me to set SKSE as my primary tool. How do I fix this? Also, what keybinds do you recommend for xbox controller users? I noticed some extra controls on your other video.
I installed the mod pack, but I’m running into A slight issue, where when I try to Launch the game it instantly closes after the title screen comes up. I added a few extra mods like body, modification, mods, and mihail Monster and the animals mods can any of those because sang the issue or did I do something horrifically wrong?
When the game crashes while launching it usually means a master is missing. If Vortex is not giving you any "master is missing" warnings, unfortunately you'll need to check on your own... I recommend just reinstalling the collection. It will be a lot faster this time around since you've already downloaded everything.
@@Axherion it means you need to fix a mod conflict (usually its the load order, the way the mods get into the game) you will need to fix how the mods load in if you click on the fix usually it doesn't actually fix the problem. This doesn't always mean it's the load order it can also mean that a mod might be interfearing with another mod, it's very confusing.
I think this Collection is going to be awesome. I will only tweak it a little bit. I like Serana Dialogue Add-On instead of Serana Dialogue Edit. I also will add Kaidan as well.
Why are you using vortex instead of wabbajack/mo2? I'm completely clueless when it comes to making a modlist so I'm genuinely asking what the advantage is?
@@JaySerpa The download speeds using Nexus are atrocious. I Downloaded this for two days only to have issues. Please upload and integrate with Wabbajack!
Dude, followed the instructions, and I have at least 20 missing masters, no clue what they are, they're not even in vortex. I just spent all day installing this, I don't wanna do it again. Please help
So, I keep getting conflicting errors and cycle errors. I uninstalled everything and I will try to reinstall it tomorrow, but yeah I don't know what happened or how to fix it
I had this once already I believe.. and the "one click instalation" did not work for me.. had to click few.. hundreds.. times. Thanks to nexus not being able and willing to accept my money. I could not sub for premium.. so I had to click everything manually. After almost year it works, so I'm downloading it :-) After seeing "The Spiffing Brit" playing it on stream.. I just had to try it out.. :-) To be fair.. I do not know why but I was kicked from your mod page like 20 times and always told "Try to log in with different account" Not sure what that was... I hope more people will try this mod.. it really looks superbly done. That SKSE you mentioned at the end, Vortex tells you that after you activate the game for modding, first things its shows in "Allerts" on top right "Mods cannot be deployed, missing SKSE". With few more alerts, that helps a bit too.
Mine just keeps crashing on the bethesda logo. I've tried deleting the files recommended, running through SKSE, with and without FNIS, sort plugins and deploy mods. I even fresh reinstalled skyrim before this Edit: Downloading the optional files titled "Anniversary" fixed it somehow
Hi! Thanks for this guide! I wanted to ask something that didn't show up here. This is my first time downloading a collection, so I'm not sure if it's always like that, but during the download I got multiple pop up messages, one for each mod, or almost all of them, telling me I had to download the mods from the website. And having to do this for all of the 1000 mods it's quite overwhelming, is it a problem that's happening to me or it's normal? Edit: apparently is a thig of not owning premium, I have to manually install one by one. Now, I was wondering if I cancel one of the downloads, does the installation pauses and I can continue where I left it later?
is it safe to run nemesis? I want to add CBPC - Physics with Collisions and Yundao Hair with physics both require nemesis. but will this break the already existing animation mods?
I installed the most recent update, and it broke the collection, so I tried to reinstall, no luck, even with these tips. Is there any way to force the "optional files", or other parts of the collection control? Thank you so much for the work you have put into this, it is lovely. -edit- Also I am getting redundant mods?
Hi! Below the answers to your questions: Optional files: sometimes when updating Vortex decides not to ask you if you want the optional files (unfortunately). The good news is that you can easily enable them from the "Mods" menu. They're conveniently renamed so it's easy to know what it is you need to enable. Redundant mods: When updating the collection, sometimes the files are downloaded again as "new mods" opposed to "updates to old mods". This means basically that Vortex will ask you if you want to delete X mods when installing the collection, mods that you might be like "why is Jay removing that?!?!?!?", well I'm not, it's just an update lol. You should AGREE to having those files removed, as they're just going to be re-downloaded again. If for some reason you didn't agree to having those files removed, you will get redundant files, which you will need to remove manually... just make sure you delete the old version of the mod and not the new one. Hope that helps!
Can i download the optional files sometimes later? I think i forgot doing that creation club thing that you say in the beginning. Can I do it now and then download these optional files later? or will everything come crashing down after that? I at least started the game once. And I thought thats enough. guess not. Are the optional files even cool?
Hey Jay, I just downloaded the collection and it’s great! The only thing is, I’d like to change the grass and trees. (Possibly folkscar and happy little trees) Is that possible to do without messing up your collection?
Hi, I just downloaded the collection and I'm having a problem. I don't know if it's a bug or something on purpose, but I can't reduce the graphics. I mean, I lower the graphics in the settings, but nothing happens and when I go back to the settings menu, everything went back to normal. to the maximum
I know this is a few months old, but can you think of any reason why it would be crashing upon launching skse? It gets to the loading screen but after a few seconds it crashes
@@garslouche3593 Okay so I think my issue was maybe I didn’t install the additional mods as I’ve got anniversary edition? If you have anniversary edition as well and didn’t do that you may need to, if not then maybe just try to uninstall and re install it?
400 failed dependencys lets goo thats my highest Edit: alright fellas so this is what happens when you let your firewall affect the vortex application in files, disabled that jazz now im innnn
I can't find your discord so I'm asking here. Whenever I play the mod pack I get an error saying that "po3's tweaks is required for FormListManipulator to work. Install it....." I have the mod installed and enabled in the mods. I tried deploying and sorting now, but the game doesn't detect the mod. I checked that the mod is downloaded for the special edition and I've tried reinstalling it a couple of times. Could you possibly give me tips to get this mod working?
It's hard to say, but a lot of people are running it on potato PCs. It should be a very performance friendly list. It's also very flexible so you can add or reduce the graphic load in a few simple steps. Maybe a story for another video lol.
Ok, so I'm doing this with a fresh installation of Skyrim: SE. Now, I see that you say that you need to download the CC (Creation Club) Free DLCs if you have the Anniversary Edition, but do you have to download those no matter what or just if you have the AE? I just want to make sure I do this right. I will withhold my questions about Shaders/ENBs until I have watched the whole video. Thanks for the collection, this great Tutorial and any answers you send me. Cheers!
The collection supports both the AE upgrade and those without it. If you've purchased it, make sure to download the mods and click YES to installing the optional plugins when the collection asks.
Once fully set up you could launch from steam or from a shortcut in your desktop without having to launch vortex. However, you must run it through skse. I believe renaming the skse exe will allow you to launch it from steam, but you'd have to Google it.
Is it bad if all the mods are enabled? All my mods are enabled and they didnt automatically disable themselves, is there a way to automatically disable the mods that are meant to be disabled in the modpack or do i have to manually disable all the mods myself? If so, what mods are meant to be disabled?
Yes, you should disable them for the intended experience. Not sure if the game runs fine with all of them enabled. You can A) reinstall the collection, it will be much faster since you won't have to downalod the mods again or B) manually disable the mods that should be disabled, the list is shown in minute 10:45
Im really struggling to instal it. Vortex sucks. I tried 3 times now. I never get the pop at the end of the installation to add optional mods for AE. first time install the game just crashed. gonna try one more time before giving up for good.
Vortex sucks indeed. Join the discord and ask for help. Also, make sure you're checking the troubleshooting guide. The pop up not appearing has an easy solution, for example. It's explained in that short document.
Hey Jay, new to PC and modding. I'm having an issue with installation. I managed to get vortex running and everything set up fine, but once I started downloading it stops the download and tells me to check dependancies like in the video. only it tells me to install from the nexus page. Then it tells me that I can't install dependancies because it doesn't have access to my skse69 file, I think, which I believe is the Skyrim script extender. Did I do something wrong or am I running into an issue not described in your video? Any help would be much appreciated, I very much look forward to playing with this mod as a knew PC user and longtime Skyrim enjoyer.
How would you go about installing an enb for this list? Should I install the enb beforehand or do it after downloading the collection and just let it win any conflict?
Using vortex was the worst experience I'd had with any software ever. It kept crashing, freezing and disabling random mods. Now even vanilla Skyrim can't be launched. I've wasted €8 and almost three days and still have to do a clean reinstall. Something to consider before going for a nexus collection.
Thank you so much! This installed perfectly although I kept getting errors when installing the Gamoas Plantigade Feet until I realised I accidentally deleted the skyrim folder in Vortex, so I created a new folder named skyrim (different from skyrimse) and manually put the zipped Skyrim Classic mod there, and it installed perfect :D Very clean and easy to follow video. Thank you! Edit: I cannot seem to join discord. It asks for verification even though I'm already verified? I just wanted to ask a simple question about disabling the container opening animations!
@@JaySerpa I am so sorry for asking again. My game is running perfect by the way with not a single crash in 8 hrs even! :O I have a problem that I can't find the mod that controls followers, and more importantly I can't find the mod that controls the compass! I tried various MCM settings but my compass is still missing. Can you please help?
I'm really sorry to ask, but I would rather ask then try and trouble shoot for hours just to realize it doesn't work. The perk tree mod that is in GTS as you know is Adamant but is it possible to disable adamant and use ordinator instead? Again sorry for asking and thank you
Hey, when I install the collections it says the SKSE Engine Fixer Part 2 disables all of my plugins whenever I try to launch, and if I disable it I just get stuck in an infinite loading screen. I tried resetting the primary and I'm not sure what else to try.
what do i do if some missing masters reason for being missing is that in the modpack theres only a patch of a mod that is apparently not installed nor even on the pack
I've got over a hundred conflicts (so I can't launch the game so I used all of the suggested options and then it allowed me to launch but now it just crashes after hitting the loading screen and it says there's something wrong with the mod cycles) and my installation was completely different from yours I had to keep clicking files and downloading them from the nexus website (took me a day and a half) and after everything was installed there was no tab that popped up giving me the option to not install optional files.
Ive been playing this collection for a few days now (loving it, really well done) I had one question though. All cities in the game look great and have new things to explore apart from Markarth and Riften which seem pretty Vanilla to me. Is there any reason for that? Could I add JK's cities & outskirts mods to expand them a bit or will it cause issues for those two cities?
There is no longet a list of disabled plugins in the latest versions, all mods should be enabled (except possibly the optionals, which should only be installed and enabled if you own Anniversary Edition Upgrade).

However, I really wish if GTS was on Wabbajack as Vortex has a lot of issues with installation
Hi good video, but i have an issue here.
I have done everything you said (sort the plugin and deploy the mods also), but when i launch the game it crashes like 2sec after the loading screen appears.
Thank you.
Same Did you ever figure it out?
Same too!
me too, did anyone figure it out?
@roldancabalongajr5478 No, but I think it has something to do with the game version idk for sure.
dude these modlists on vortex never work, this one is no exception, went and downloaded it on wabbajack and it took about 10x less time and worked no problem. cool modlist, just basing it off of a nexus mod list collection was not the brightest idea
Thank you so much for all you do
Probably the best modlist I've ever played.
But c'mon, Vortex? Just migrate already pls...
You do it... and publish the Wabbajack list! I've mentioned it a couple of times, happy for anyone to do it and publish it.
Yeah, I decided to download it to give a try as my first vortex modlist, but for my suprise, it is even worse than wabbajack to download it without vortex premium xD
@@DonAndrew Oh the download is nothing. The real pain in the butt is how Vortex can just decide not to deploy/enable some random mods and leave you to figure it out. Or the fact that it has a tendency to freeze during the installation process and let you wonder whether it's just a visual glitch or whether it's just dead. Or how the Collections website never remembers your login and you have to type it in manually every time even when opening it from the Vortex software where you're already logged in. Jesus Christ, I hate this piece of shit software so much. The fact that I'm biting the bullet and actually using it is a testament to how good the GTS collection is.
@@savlecz1187 I have the exact same problems. Spent two days not being able to even launch the game.
Nolvus is far superior, has it's own installer, and Vektor is a genius. This project is mediocre at best.
Ok so, i will describe exactly how i did it.
First of all i have uninstalled my game and reinstalled it then launched it once.
Before that i also removed all my previous mods and clear all the archives.
Then i've waited for the downlaoding and the installation of the collection to finish, sort the plugins, deploy the mods and launch the game with SKSE.
BUT when the loading screen appear, the game suddenly crash like 1 sec after.
Please help.
And sorry for my bad english i am not a native speaker.
Never excuse something that people haven't bullied you for! Your English is fine! The big problem is this collection that seems to crash for many people!
Got the infinete loading screen loadingscreen even after following all the steps, it seems to work well after restarting vortex though. Thanks for the help Ill try the modpack tomorow.
Ive been installing mods for almost 24 hours now, I REEEEEAllly hope it worksXD
I have done everything exactly how I'm supposed to and it won't work. If I set SKSE as primary the game immediately crashes, if I don't then it just loads forever
Same
all hail lord Jay!
the savior of all wandering trouble shooters!
Thank you very much for this, everything went great!
Awesome, enjoy! Remember to vote the collection positively, the success rating is super terrible currently because of the bethesda update lol :(
Hey Jay I messed up. What happened if I enable every plug-in :(
See the pinned message!
"There is no longet a list of disabled plugins in the latest versions, all mods should be enabled (except possibly the optionals, which should only be installed and enabled if you own Anniversary Edition Upgrade)."
@@JaySerpa Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply!
Would this modlist work well alongside Legacy of the Dragonborn?
I managed to get this collection running on the Steam deck with lowered settings and capping the FPS at 30, a lot of pop in on some places but still looks loads better than Stock.
alr downloading this collection now if it works well i'll keep you guys update for the new people who wanna download this
Finding this very late courtesy of Spiffing Brit. Is it OK to clean the "dirty" mods that LOOT/Vortex finds, or should we just leave them as-is?
So this is what it looks like going premium.. thank you mu good sir 🙏🏻
Hi. I'm currently going through your instructions guide. But I hit a snag. Vortex won't allow me to set SKSE as my primary tool. How do I fix this?
Also, what keybinds do you recommend for xbox controller users? I noticed some extra controls on your other video.
quite easy guide, THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I installed the mod pack, but I’m running into A slight issue, where when I try to Launch the game it instantly closes after the title screen comes up. I added a few extra mods like body, modification, mods, and mihail Monster and the animals mods can any of those because sang the issue or did I do something horrifically wrong?
When the game crashes while launching it usually means a master is missing. If Vortex is not giving you any "master is missing" warnings, unfortunately you'll need to check on your own... I recommend just reinstalling the collection. It will be a lot faster this time around since you've already downloaded everything.
Finally a mod pack with simon gameplay overhaul
Should I do anything if it says there are unresolved file conflicts?
I`m also getting this issue after install.
@@mrcarthosdid you solve ?
@@Axherion it means you need to fix a mod conflict (usually its the load order, the way the mods get into the game) you will need to fix how the mods load in if you click on the fix usually it doesn't actually fix the problem. This doesn't always mean it's the load order it can also mean that a mod might be interfearing with another mod, it's very confusing.
The goat. Please note I was able to do this high if something is going wrong its your fault and is a skill issue.
I think this Collection is going to be awesome. I will only tweak it a little bit. I like Serana Dialogue Add-On instead of Serana Dialogue Edit. I also will add Kaidan as well.
Kaidan is already in the pack for a while now!
Bro, Thanks a lot you're awesome!
How do I get rid of the "Main.cpp(93): Unable to find message listener" error?
Bruh I've done this shit many times followed the instructions to the teeth and for some reason can't get it to work.
Same would love some help
I'm also suffering issues. Just goes onto the wheel screen then disappears
Why are you using vortex instead of wabbajack/mo2? I'm completely clueless when it comes to making a modlist so I'm genuinely asking what the advantage is?
Wabbajack users have plenty of modlists available, there are not so many on Vortex.
@@JaySerpa The download speeds using Nexus are atrocious. I Downloaded this for two days only to have issues. Please upload and integrate with Wabbajack!
Dude, followed the instructions, and I have at least 20 missing masters, no clue what they are, they're not even in vortex. I just spent all day installing this, I don't wanna do it again. Please help
So, I keep getting conflicting errors and cycle errors. I uninstalled everything and I will try to reinstall it tomorrow, but yeah I don't know what happened or how to fix it
Phew download and set up done. Lets see if my PC is gonna cook or if it is gonna end up roasted.
GOG is a story for another day that never came.
love you bro
I had this once already I believe.. and the "one click instalation" did not work for me.. had to click few.. hundreds.. times. Thanks to nexus not being able and willing to accept my money. I could not sub for premium.. so I had to click everything manually.
After almost year it works, so I'm downloading it :-) After seeing "The Spiffing Brit" playing it on stream.. I just had to try it out.. :-)
To be fair.. I do not know why but I was kicked from your mod page like 20 times and always told "Try to log in with different account" Not sure what that was... I hope more people will try this mod.. it really looks superbly done.
That SKSE you mentioned at the end, Vortex tells you that after you activate the game for modding, first things its shows in "Allerts" on top right "Mods cannot be deployed, missing SKSE". With few more alerts, that helps a bit too.
Mine just keeps crashing on the bethesda logo. I've tried deleting the files recommended, running through SKSE, with and without FNIS, sort plugins and deploy mods. I even fresh reinstalled skyrim before this
Edit: Downloading the optional files titled "Anniversary" fixed it somehow
Join the discord
The Spiffing Brit sent me this way, let's see if I can do some differnt Skyrim kung-fu.
Hi! Thanks for this guide!
I wanted to ask something that didn't show up here. This is my first time downloading a collection, so I'm not sure if it's always like that, but during the download I got multiple pop up messages, one for each mod, or almost all of them, telling me I had to download the mods from the website. And having to do this for all of the 1000 mods it's quite overwhelming, is it a problem that's happening to me or it's normal?
Edit: apparently is a thig of not owning premium, I have to manually install one by one. Now, I was wondering if I cancel one of the downloads, does the installation pauses and I can continue where I left it later?
Buy 1 month and download everything you need. €$5... It's a coffee! Even if you are 13 years old you can afford 1 month of $5
is it safe to run nemesis? I want to add CBPC - Physics with Collisions and Yundao Hair with physics both require nemesis. but will this break the already existing animation mods?
I installed the most recent update, and it broke the collection, so I tried to reinstall, no luck, even with these tips.
Is there any way to force the "optional files", or other parts of the collection control?
Thank you so much for the work you have put into this, it is lovely.
-edit- Also I am getting redundant mods?
Hi! Below the answers to your questions:
Optional files: sometimes when updating Vortex decides not to ask you if you want the optional files (unfortunately). The good news is that you can easily enable them from the "Mods" menu. They're conveniently renamed so it's easy to know what it is you need to enable.
Redundant mods: When updating the collection, sometimes the files are downloaded again as "new mods" opposed to "updates to old mods". This means basically that Vortex will ask you if you want to delete X mods when installing the collection, mods that you might be like "why is Jay removing that?!?!?!?", well I'm not, it's just an update lol. You should AGREE to having those files removed, as they're just going to be re-downloaded again. If for some reason you didn't agree to having those files removed, you will get redundant files, which you will need to remove manually... just make sure you delete the old version of the mod and not the new one.
Hope that helps!
Thank you!
I deleted skyrim Started fresh without any mods but it just won‘t start Whenever I click SKSE it just will not open up the game what happened😢
Can i download the optional files sometimes later? I think i forgot doing that creation club thing that you say in the beginning. Can I do it now and then download these optional files later? or will everything come crashing down after that? I at least started the game once. And I thought thats enough. guess not. Are the optional files even cool?
Question: what should I do with Northern Roads patches during the installation???
Thank you so much for everything
7:15 does this modify the base game folder or create a separate game folder like the Wabbajack installation does?
Hey Jay, I just downloaded the collection and it’s great! The only thing is, I’d like to change the grass and trees. (Possibly folkscar and happy little trees) Is that possible to do without messing up your collection?
Hi, I just downloaded the collection and I'm having a problem. I don't know if it's a bug or something on purpose, but I can't reduce the graphics. I mean, I lower the graphics in the settings, but nothing happens and when I go back to the settings menu, everything went back to normal. to the maximum
Get Bethini, that might help: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4875
@@JaySerpa Thanks, I'll try it right now
I know this is a few months old, but can you think of any reason why it would be crashing upon launching skse? It gets to the loading screen but after a few seconds it crashes
Yes, i have the same here !
@@garslouche3593 Okay so I think my issue was maybe I didn’t install the additional mods as I’ve got anniversary edition? If you have anniversary edition as well and didn’t do that you may need to, if not then maybe just try to uninstall and re install it?
400 failed dependencys lets goo thats my highest
Edit: alright fellas so this is what happens when you let your firewall affect the vortex application in files, disabled that jazz now im innnn
I can't find your discord so I'm asking here. Whenever I play the mod pack I get an error saying that "po3's tweaks is required for FormListManipulator to work. Install it....." I have the mod installed and enabled in the mods. I tried deploying and sorting now, but the game doesn't detect the mod. I checked that the mod is downloaded for the special edition and I've tried reinstalling it a couple of times. Could you possibly give me tips to get this mod working?
Thanks for the video ! What are the recommended PC specs ?
It's hard to say, but a lot of people are running it on potato PCs. It should be a very performance friendly list. It's also very flexible so you can add or reduce the graphic load in a few simple steps. Maybe a story for another video lol.
@@JaySerpa could you maybe tell me how to reduce the graphical load? Your assitance would be very much appreciated.
Ok, so I'm doing this with a fresh installation of Skyrim: SE. Now, I see that you say that you need to download the CC (Creation Club) Free DLCs if you have the Anniversary Edition, but do you have to download those no matter what or just if you have the AE?
I just want to make sure I do this right. I will withhold my questions about Shaders/ENBs until I have watched the whole video. Thanks for the collection, this great Tutorial and any answers you send me. Cheers!
The collection supports both the AE upgrade and those without it. If you've purchased it, make sure to download the mods and click YES to installing the optional plugins when the collection asks.
@@JaySerpa Got it. One last question, can I launch from Steam or do I have to launch from Vortex?
Once fully set up you could launch from steam or from a shortcut in your desktop without having to launch vortex. However, you must run it through skse. I believe renaming the skse exe will allow you to launch it from steam, but you'd have to Google it.
Is it bad if all the mods are enabled? All my mods are enabled and they didnt automatically disable themselves, is there a way to automatically disable the mods that are meant to be disabled in the modpack or do i have to manually disable all the mods myself? If so, what mods are meant to be disabled?
Yes, you should disable them for the intended experience. Not sure if the game runs fine with all of them enabled. You can A) reinstall the collection, it will be much faster since you won't have to downalod the mods again or B) manually disable the mods that should be disabled, the list is shown in minute 10:45
Im really struggling to instal it. Vortex sucks. I tried 3 times now. I never get the pop at the end of the installation to add optional mods for AE. first time install the game just crashed. gonna try one more time before giving up for good.
Vortex sucks indeed. Join the discord and ask for help. Also, make sure you're checking the troubleshooting guide. The pop up not appearing has an easy solution, for example. It's explained in that short document.
@@JaySerpa Thank you Jay for everything. It was a moment of frustration. my apologies.
Hey Jay, new to PC and modding. I'm having an issue with installation. I managed to get vortex running and everything set up fine, but once I started downloading it stops the download and tells me to check dependancies like in the video. only it tells me to install from the nexus page. Then it tells me that I can't install dependancies because it doesn't have access to my skse69 file, I think, which I believe is the Skyrim script extender. Did I do something wrong or am I running into an issue not described in your video? Any help would be much appreciated, I very much look forward to playing with this mod as a knew PC user and longtime Skyrim enjoyer.
How would you go about installing an enb for this list? Should I install the enb beforehand or do it after downloading the collection and just let it win any conflict?
Using vortex was the worst experience I'd had with any software ever. It kept crashing, freezing and disabling random mods. Now even vanilla Skyrim can't be launched. I've wasted €8 and almost three days and still have to do a clean reinstall. Something to consider before going for a nexus collection.
Something else to consider: 75% of users have had no issues while installing the collection in the last 30 days.
@@JaySerpa I'm not blaming you ofc
Thank you so much! This installed perfectly although I kept getting errors when installing the Gamoas Plantigade Feet until I realised I accidentally deleted the skyrim folder in Vortex, so I created a new folder named skyrim (different from skyrimse) and manually put the zipped Skyrim Classic mod there, and it installed perfect :D Very clean and easy to follow video. Thank you!
Edit: I cannot seem to join discord. It asks for verification even though I'm already verified? I just wanted to ask a simple question about disabling the container opening animations!
Nice! Glad it's working well for you! ❤
Check the MCM of immersive interactions to disable those animations, should be easy to find :)
@@JaySerpa Found it thank you! Your mods are amazing :D
@@JaySerpa I am so sorry for asking again. My game is running perfect by the way with not a single crash in 8 hrs even! :O I have a problem that I can't find the mod that controls followers, and more importantly I can't find the mod that controls the compass! I tried various MCM settings but my compass is still missing. Can you please help?
Never mind. I used the game's sun to find my way out. Super immersive. I've never camped so much in Skyrim and it is actually fun.
I'm really sorry to ask, but I would rather ask then try and trouble shoot for hours just to realize it doesn't work. The perk tree mod that is in GTS as you know is Adamant but is it possible to disable adamant and use ordinator instead? Again sorry for asking and thank you
my vortex either gets stuck on checking dependencies.. OR starts telling me to download each file manually from the nexus..need help please
Get premium so it downloads automatically
Hey, when I install the collections it says the SKSE Engine Fixer Part 2 disables all of my plugins whenever I try to launch, and if I disable it I just get stuck in an infinite loading screen. I tried resetting the primary and I'm not sure what else to try.
what do i do if some missing masters reason for being missing is that in the modpack theres only a patch of a mod that is apparently not installed nor even on the pack
I am having a major issue. Game keeps crashing upon opening. I am using the anniversary edition. Tried literally everything.
I recieve an issue regarding IEDconditions? Game crashes when you click continue/new game. updated the mod it mentions is missing but nothing changes.
I've got over a hundred conflicts (so I can't launch the game so I used all of the suggested options and then it allowed me to launch but now it just crashes after hitting the loading screen and it says there's something wrong with the mod cycles) and my installation was completely different from yours I had to keep clicking files and downloading them from the nexus website (took me a day and a half) and after everything was installed there was no tab that popped up giving me the option to not install optional files.
Ive been playing this collection for a few days now (loving it, really well done) I had one question though. All cities in the game look great and have new things to explore apart from Markarth and Riften which seem pretty Vanilla to me. Is there any reason for that? Could I add JK's cities & outskirts mods to expand them a bit or will it cause issues for those two cities?
Thanks for the feedback. Should be fine I think! If possible I'd limit it to inside the cities, exteriors might be problematic
Whtas in the unspecified part of the disabled plugins? i cant find a list anywhere nor a faq
