Help me choose MMM esp's? : IV

» Mon May 05, 2014 4:25 pm

This is my first time using MMM, and boy was I in for a surprise. There is like 60+ esp files in the archive.

I suffer from ADHD, so trying to read through all of the esp's and match them with my current mods is insane, as you can probably imagine. Would anybody kindly help me choose which esp's to choose from?

My load order:

I don't need any optional esp's (unless you heavily recommend them). I just want the esp files needed to run MMM smoothly alongside my current mods.

Thanks.

Wait, I can only choose one esp out of the two red boxes you made?

MMM is awesome, it's one of those mods I was looking for even before I knew mods existed. As the gamer above says, there are several categories this mod is broken into. If you haven't got OOO or FCOM, for instance, you can safely rule out any esps that help match up to those.

There are 5 different spawn options (as Anonimouseone pointed out), and I believe what they do is introduce extra spawn points, I'm not entirely sure. I've got the "Vanilla" one selected. Three of these spawn options have a warning that says "don't use with SaferRoads.esp" and so I tried turning Safer Roads off, but I found that this made the roads ridiculously dangerous. So I've got Vanilla + Safer Roads, even though the mod authors say not to use this. :shrug:

The rest of the mods are (as Anon says) your choice. DO you want giant spiders in your game? No? Then choose No Giant Spiders. You basically have to sit there and (if you're like me) squint at all the different possible choices, and then read what they're about one by one.

Several of the esps also can only accept one choice. You can't choose "No Rats" and "Less Rats" for instance.

Since you have Better Cities in your load order, it's recommended that you don't choose MMM's City Defences. This will clash with the guard Better Cities introduces.

All the "boxed" plugins are my personal preference.

In the image two, the choice was actually between:

more wilderness life (Faster computer)
more wilderness life no gates (slower computer)

based on your computer. That's why I said "your choice". I would go for more wilderness life.

Edit: ah sorry, now that I look about it, I understand what you mean. The lines are just drawed badly. You don't have to choose between the two boxes. The lines are just pointing toward the two plugins

more wilderness life
more wilderness life no gates
