Are you going to do any more Skyrim videos? I find yours so helpful. I'd love to see a video about installing FNIS and XP32. I've found other on youtube but I've been following your setup and no one else does things the same way. You are also better at explaining things.

[@aicavehub]

Yes, but we don't know when. Soon we will post a video where we explain why is going on with the Skyrim SE Modding Guide and why it was no any new videos. We are very sorry for the delay but some things in live just happen and it takes time to deal with them.

Bro I gotta say, you're my favorite. There are a lot of tutorials on modding out there, but none are as thorough and easy to understand as yours. Your approach of not just telling people the steps but helping people understand exactly what and why they are doing things, and your great degree of patience in explaining even the most basic things, puts your tutorials in a league of their own and is much appreciated.

This is such an excellent video series. Thank you for producing it. In the last 24 hours I've decided to make the jump from NMM to MO2, and these vids have been invaluable. Looking forward to any coverage you do regarding xEdit. Cheers!

The edit metadata thing in the last couple minutes saved my life. Thanks, mate.

[@spencerfreeman6636]

I've been watching the previous videos in this series a couple of times now. Here is what I like most. I'm not playing Skyrim Special Edition, I'm playing Skyrim VR (which uses an older SE). And that you are constantly reminding your viewers to think for themselves is fantastic. You honestly can not over state that truth. I love the constant reminders to read everything; because too few people do. If I were not thinking for myself I would have F*ed my modding already. I'm 3 days into modding, and your's were not the first videos I watched, but they are the ones I watch the most. Please continue reminding people that they are intelligent and can solve their own problems if they take the effort to do it themselves. You are a fantastic teacher for people who are (3 days) new to modding. Thank you Ai Cave.

[@brandiahenry]

I love following your videos. They are always informative and helpful. I would never have gotten as far as I have without your help. Thanks Again.

[@_cul8r_]

I've been using LOOT for many MANY years now, and this is the first video that I feel really explains, plainly, what it's all about. I even learned a few things that I didn't know. Thank you so much for your efforts here!

[@z1mt0n1x2]

I've never even bothered. Got a stable load order with 85 mods I just smashed together in a week, and all that after not modding Skyrim for 3 years... Guess if I had to rediscover what all the mods do? :P All I ever used was Tes5Edit and logic thinking. If I wanted, now that I'm back into modding Skyrim again I could prolly make a 150-mod list in a day and still have my game stable. Also, "LOOT" does not help if you're using your own mods, merged mods, underground mods, or mods that never were introduced on famous sites like the Nexus. There are a couple of "made in china" mods that are pretty cool and those just gets randomly tossed around by LOOT in no particular order everytime you run it. Which make this tool somewhat useless.

[@Brisenoix]

Thank you so much for those tutorials, I broke my game by using Skyrim in-game modding tool (lol) and lost all my saves. Now I know it won't happend again thanks to you!

[@lycybin8347]

Been so long since I played or modded Skyrim, your videos are exactly what I needed, thanks

[@djwoody1649]

Cheers, lad, you've been very helpful. I've been stumbling around trying to figure out how to work out load order and how to alter it for ages. Thanks very much. By the way, your first video and the message you get across was also really important and I took it to heart, meant I had my expectations in check and stopped me from getting mardy.

[@RamothMizpah]

I’ve recently got back into modding too. I’ve played with modded morrowind, oblivion, and oldrim. My point is that I’m no stranger to modding but your vids have been EXTREMELY helpful introducing me to these new tools. I see that’s it been a few months since the last SSE mod vid and I REALLY hope there’s more to come. I was hoping to learn more about the LOD tools and SSEdit. On a separate note your tutorial style is one of the best. I personally like the details and reasons for modding the game the way we do.

*Loot does not replace reading mod descriptions (compatibility), it just guesses the correct order and works most of the time. *Common sense > LOOT. If you have head knowledge that certain mods are compatible, and LOOT is telling you otherwise, stick to your guns. Great video, Mr. Cave!

I just made the switch from NMM to Vortex, while Vortex is a nice program, it created frustration and some problems. I then decided to move to MO2, while the basics I understand, I have been modding for some time, there is a steep learning curve with MO2. I love the depth you are going into, I have picked up a bunch of little tips and QOL information. I'm looking forward to the rest of these videos. MO2 is such a great mod manager, I wish I would have switched earlier. Will you be going into mod merging with zEdit? I have been struggling to find good info on the correct way to handle plugins that have been merged after the merge is made.

[@dohlbrak]

@@aielias89 excellent! Your videos are very good, and thorough. Thank you for taking the time.

[@z1mt0n1x2]

This is the simplest guide: 1. Install Skyrim + Updates and DLC's. 2. Setup ModOrganizer, SKSE, Tes5Edit properly. 3. Install a bunch of mods but don't activate them yet. 4. Setup your initial Load-Order "plugins list" (the right panel/box) like this: a. Skyrim and Skyrim Update b. Dawnguard Hearthfires Dragonborn c. USLEEP/USSEP d. (your world mods like Wyrmstooth/Falskaar/Bruma goes here) e. HighRes Texture Pack 1 2 3 f. UHRP g. (the rest of your list, plus logical thinking....) 5. Activate all your other mods and apply logical thinking, first bug fixes > frameworks > menus > custom races > body textures > hair packs > animations > camera mods > lighting. 6. Run Tes5Edit Auto-Clean on every single item in your list one at a time >> NOT SKYRIM.ESM

[@z1mt0n1x2]

@@rafitohornero3850 I don't make videos anymore, perhaps if Google didn't delete my old account I would but I don't feel the urge anymore :P There's nothing to it tho, it just takes a while running through all the mods in Tes5Edit, not all mods even need it, eventually you'll know which ones are causing trouble... You can pretty much guestimate what kind of mod is causing trouble by analyzing "when" you crash. If it's when opening menus you got a UI problem, if it's when entering towns or exiting to Skyrim u got a world problem like weather or lighting. If you have a lot of mods just put them in folders and categorize them. But, I can answer if you have any questions here, I just don't wanna do videos...

@@rafitohornero3850 No, I don't trust that program since it wanted to place "Lanterns of Skyrim" before Dragonborn and USLEEP, and didn't even notice when I moved it back down again. The program is wack and appears to sort mods sometimes, and sometimes not. You can use LOOT for sure, but you gotta know when it moved a mod to the wrong spot. LoS is not supposed to load before USLEEP, no mod is, except for the official DLC's. Skyrim.ESM Update.ESM Dawnguard.ESM HearthFires.ESM (LOOT wanted LoS here...)

[@hyperborean.]

There is a compatibility patch for JK Skyrim and Immersive citizens. Even after installing that patch, LOOT still give the same incompatibility. That is good enough for me to show that LOOT is not a 100% full proof tool. By the way, a suggested mod list would be a nice idea while people are waiting for your next videos. Thanks for your hard work and sharing.
