RENOVATION NOTICE

This guide is currently being renovated. (June 2026) Expect to see vampire dust, bone meal, and wisp wrappings EVERYWHERE.

Game Startup Tips

While still in the Alternate Start dungeon, consider doing the following:

  • In the game, disable all auto-saves - save on wait, travel, etc. Refrain from using quick saves. Auto saves and quick saves are not good places to continue a modded game from. Use full saves only. Be sure to save frequently. CTDs still happen even with a stable modded game. 
  • Note from LOOT: "Mount Support must be switched to Riding Support Only, OR disable horse on a per-follower basis in Nether's Follower Framework settings for Convenient Horses to function correctly with Nether's Follower Framework."
  • MCM suggested settings:
    • Start Frostfall and lower the exposure rate to 0.3 for a more realistic experience, or 0.4 or 0.5 if you want more of a challenge. The default of 1.0 is pretty hardcore - and not very realistic in my opinion. I grew up in an area with some harsh winters, and it's not hard to dress sensibly. I only want to die of exposure in a game if I act like an idiot and run around in my undies. 
    • Set iHUD to use toggle for the compass.
    • Turn on OBIS,
    • Under Complete Alchemy, enable basic needs.
    • Enable Death Alternative.
    • Change the setting in Quick Light to "bright." Which setting you use doesn't affect sneaking - only whether or not your light is on.
    • Start Holidays. Disable courier service, unless you want a courier stopping you for stuff that's "for your hands only" every time the town celebrates a holiday. Looks like that's it. Got to go. 
    • Set the weapon locations you prefer in the XPMSE menu.
  • In your inventory, open the book "Select Class" and set your birth signs. Note that Fourth Era signs allow you to still use standing stones.
  • For the love of Mara, do not use the Creation Club or Mods menus from the game main menu. This is an either/or situation - use the game's built-in system or DIY as you've done here.
