I've now come to terms with the fact I've apparently actually never played Skyrim without the Macho Man mod installed. Never realized that until I started Special Edition and went "...Huh, those sounds are new aren't they? Did dragons always sound like that?" It's so bizarre actually hearing the dragons as they are meant to be heard...hope that mod gets ported haha.

This is a general Skyrim mod question (not just SE) that maybe someone here can help me with. Back when I was playing Skyrim last, I must have had a mod that displayed the rank (adept, expert, etc) of a spellbook right on the screen that shows the 3d book and information, but I can't figure out what that was now. Any ideas? I looked at some sorting mods, and that doesn't seem to be it. I know you can estimate it when sorting books by cost, but eh.

Looks like Isoku just updated the Realistic Water Two mod, about an hour ago, to address some issues.

Gonna give it a shot now I think.

Yup, vanilla weathers look gorgeous in the SE.
I think I can deal with them like they are for a lil bit.
Waiting patiently on Windsong.
He's dealing with some broken meshes atm but said the patch should be up by the end of the day I think.
Checking it out now. Thanks!

I felt the same way as you when I started bro. Trust me, you would be doing yourself a favor by learning how to use NMM. It isn't just a third party mod manager lol, it's pretty much the defacto mod manager for Skyrim. The Nexus is where the vast majority of modders put their mods and some of them are so proud of the nexus and it's community and the support it has given them that they sometimes will only put their mods up on it and not let anyone put them anywhere else like the in game one I think. At least this is what I have gleaned from what little time I've been using it. I hope it's not viruses or something you are worried about.

Realistic Water Two working fine on xb1. No issues at all thus far. Looks gorgeous. Amazing at night when the northern lights are out.
did u use the lines in the ini file. if u set the iMinGrassSize to about 90 it still looks good without much fps loss.
So I have Skyrim on PC and played it for a ton of hours and the mods I liked were the real basic ones. I had some fixes for busted textures, a mod the allowed arrow crafting, one that made the quest horses like Shadowmere unkillable. Little things like that for the most part.
I snagged this for PS4 mostly to try it out on a console and see how it feels as a couch game. My question is, despite the mod stuff being bare bones on PS4, are mods like the later two I mentioned doable/available on PS4? I don't need anything crazy, just QOL type stuff.

Craftable Arrow's and Unkillable Shadowmere should be possible, since they'd only be modifying existing values and adding context options within the game.
Another issue is whether mod authors want to commit to putting limited mods on PS4, and whilst it is getting a reasonably healthy amount of support, I'm sure authors are much less enthusiastic about it than Xbox One and with Special Edition on PC requiring slight reworking on mods, I doubt PS4 would be a priority.
Nah. It's just that there's going to be too much cruft to manage once I have NMM installed. The manager itself will need constant updating, and then there's the whole issue once you want to transfer over to a new computer, reinstalling, etc.
I've worked with mods before (Freespace 2 Open and enhancements), and just found it too tedious constantly checking for nightly updates and whatnot. So micro-managing all the games along with their perspective mods can be far too time intensive.

Planning to switch over to the equivalent hosted on Nexus for the unofficial patch and Even Better Quest Objectives from Bethesda-hosted ones (as a "hey, I wonder how the in-game mod menu works?")
Would the game think I'm loading a different plugin when I'm loading a save that wants them?

If Sony's going to do it they need to strike while the iron's hot. Who knows how many mod authors might not even bother going back to add ps4 support potentially months and months down the line if Sony were to finally open the gates.

No worries. Yeah, I've been using them both and it's fantastic, but..
Indeed. With Verdant and Flora overhaul installed, I really have to settle with 30fps cap.
Totally agree. It seems that Vivid Weather has the same issue.
Vanilla SE weathers > any weather mods so far
You really want to install NMM. Yes it's a 3rd party program, but it'll make your life much easier.
Imagine this. If you're installing textures mods manually, you'll have to extract and place the files and folder in your skyrim folder. The problem rises when you have several texture mods manually installed. First, you have to choose which mods get the priority to overwrite other texture mods. Second, you have to choose which folders and files to delete when you want to uninstall the mods. Which means searching through dozens of folders inside your skyrim folder. With NMM, all of that hassle can be done with one or two clicks.
As stated above, it's WICO.

That's not the one, but that will work. Thanks.
Does it work in conjunction with Bethesda Workshop mods? I already have some mods installed from the built-in mod downloader, but I don't want them to conflict (I have them disabled for the moment, but they have already been installed).

Yes, it does. Your Bethesda Workshop installed mods' .esp will be visible in NMM. You can enable/disable Bethesda mods from there.
I was looking for some glasses to wear (they're not out yet) but these will suffice

Armor and clothing has been trickling out the past couple days but nothing too substantial for consoles yet. Give it a week or so and we'll have a lot more to choose from.
I do recommend the Black Mage robes though. They look cool as shit.
Also Triss and Yennifer (Witcher 3) clothing is up.

Trust me mate, for the first couple of days I thought the same as you, that I would only stick with the besthesda mods, but it's clear that Nexus is the clear preference for modders. I switched over, it's really easy, easy to sort, heaps more mods, picks up existing installed mods too. Make tge switch now.
Keep an eye out for Winter is Coming. It's not available for SE yet, but it was an immensely popular mod that I'm sure will get ported eventually. As the title suggests, it adds many Game of Thrones inspired cloaks.
You're really trying hard to sell me on this.
Are there any good displacement mods out there?
So if anyone else here hates the vanilla fences, and the SMIM fences, I recommend this heavily.
Fences of Skyrim
To me, this is THE fence mod to use. I'm more happy than I probably should be that it works without issue in SSE.

Man there are some more awesome mods out there I can't wait to be ported over, the Dwemer Power Armor being one of them. I always thought the Dwemer could create exoskeleton suits and there it is!
Also, I'm eagerly awaiting more weapon mods. I love new weapons and stuff, and there's a lore-friendly beam saber mod out there.

It's amazing indeed. Totally adds to the overall tone of the game and immersion. Essential mod for me.

1. Realistic Lighting Overhaul
2. Gecko's 4k Mountain Textures
or maybe Enhanced textures detail (UV-tweaks) (it covers more than rocks).
Enhanced Blood Textures has been released.

Fuckin Daggerfall skeleton FX mod is terrifying. The noises those things make.
Also the Static Mesh improvement is out for xb1, 900mb. The mod author isn't sure about performance on console though. Gonna wait and see on that one.

Was waiting for true storms. The creator has been on reddit past few days posting previews. Seems like he has spent some time tweaking it for this edition. His weather system accounts for the snow n rain not falling through roofs etc too now like the original skyrim had.
He said he has pretty much rebuilt the whole thing.
Explains why climates etc are all messed right now. They rushed them out and didn't account for Beth's new systems

Nice. I just got done reinstalling SMIM & not selecting the woven fence meshes this time around, because I couldn't stand the flickering. With this mod, there are no flickering from a distance & the fences are better looking to me as well.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
oh wow this looks great
Does anyone let this overwrite SIMM?

Very tempted to jump on True Storms. Been waiting for something to tweak the weather a little bit, it's all my game is missing right now (I think).
The Fallout 4 version is very cool, but I ended up going with NAC (Natural Atmospheric Commonwealth) there. It's more of a complete overhaul though and I'm not sure Skyrim needs that, some more extreme storms and blizzards might just do the trick.

This crashes NMM on install for me.
Never mind, updated to NMM latest edition and it went through no trouble.
