CTDs wasn't my issue when using Automatic Variants... No... I got a MAMMOTH in Riverwood where a cow should've been! The only way to resolve the issue was to completely remove AV from the game. I had just installed Skyrim Scaling Stopper, but playing with that mod without AV -- no issues whatsoever. Either AV was borked, it just didn't play nice with Skyrim Scaling Stopper, or Bashed Patch or the AV .ESP generator messed something up somewhere. Regardless, I need Skyrim Scaling Stopper more than AV, so it was an easy choice. Today, as I've just started using SkyTEST, I'm grateful that AV was not used for texture variants.

That was not caused by AV, then. AV does not place new animals or anything like that. ASIS does, somewhat, with Increased Spawns.

You know, the problem is probably that people are not starting fresh games. However, that issue is mostly Bethesda, not any of the patchers such as AV or ASIS. Also, starting clean is required for actual testing of anything or there is no way to tell what is truly causing a problem, if a problem happens.

I use Skytest with AV and have since I started using both of them, and no problems at all (again, aside from things I know such as trying to change midgame and getting skating animals, but that's Bethesda, not the patchers).

By the way, there is a bug tracker for AV. For example, it is known that AV cannot handle Extended Colors, probably because of the thousands of variations from Extended Colors and AV does similar functions (plus Java limitations). However, any mod that is not desired to be included can be unchecked prior to running the patcher (similar to how Bashed Patch looks for active mods, not inactive mods). Some people do this for ASIS for mods such as dragon buffs, although ASIS also has a file that can be configured for records to exclude. I find it much simpler to just uncheck a mod I don't want to include, at least for now.

I've had a few issues with AV that made past saves currupt (may have been my doing) but I still consider my Skyrim to be in "Beta". Basically i am playing around with mods and see how they work and if they work the way i want and will make the game play how i want. If they do then i keep them, if not I toss them. If it kills my save then oh well its not a serious play through. I will eventually build another computer stronger than my current gaming computer and will actually play skyrim on it and use this one for testing mods.

Doubts...

...Should I install this after or before Real Wildlife mod ???

What′s the difference between both (under A.I. point of view) ?

I've heard Real Wildlife is kind of buggy...is that right ?

.

[Chris Jones]

They are both Animal Mods but each mod alters different Stuff, i would say RWS is a much more complete mod since it has much more to offer than SkyTEST, while SkyTEST is just the best damn Animal Behavior Mod which its main focus.

I havent encountered many issues with RWS, the only thing i noticed are some minor issues with Factions.

New Version is up:


1.23

* Stopped cubs from giving loot.

* Forced Hare/Fox/Deer/Elk to avoid Water.

* Forced cubs to stop making heavy foot step sounds.

* Gave Slaughterfish an Aggro Radius, should prevent the annoying issue with red dots all over the compass.

* Added more Spider/Rats SpawnPoints.

* More Tweaks to Acceleration/Deceleration Rate to Most animals, their speed looks more realistic now.

* Forced Mammoths to stop becoming aggresive when the player attacked SmallPrey.

[Eileen Müller]

So are you going to do some work on http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=17723?

[Charles Mckinna]

Hmm not really, i cant do much with those birds, but they are awsome none the less, it makes Skyrim looks so alive.

[April]

Yeah i dl it, seems like it is nice start, hope he can get them to fly.

[SEXY QUEEN]

He may first need to add a whole new set of animations for each bird, seeing how Bethesda refuses to support in that department i dont see that coming true anytime soon.

[Jason King]

Yeah i know , just wishful thinking. Maybe they'll be nice and give the CK a nice upgrade for importing animations.

[Jamie Moysey]

Finally made it into "Skyrim Mod Sanctuary #29" woo whoo!

Congratulations EtaYorius, well deserved attention in my opinion.

[Shelby Huffman]

Thanks!

What happened to the comment section on nexus?

[chinadoll]

Hi everybody...

I'm having some location specific CTDs with Skytest...maybe some mod conflict. Mostly in that road from Riverwood to Guardian Stones (sometimes before...sometimes after).

I'm one of those ones who have a big list of mods (45)...Majority are just texture mods.

A guy from another topic tells something about scripted wolves ...but I'm not a modder and understood anything.

I'd like to know if there is any known mods conflict list.

I'm just asking this because I really want to settle down with Skytest.

Thanks in advance.

[maria Dwyer]

I dont see SkyTest in there. If you could repost it with SkyTest in your load order where you normally have it, it could be a load order conflict.

[meg knight]

oromish

Got banned and my mod deleted, then after arguing with a nicer moderator for 10 minutes he unban me and re open my mod, but i guess i am still suspended from the forum for a while.

You can still report issues on this forum though.

[Yonah]

Why did you get banned?????

Also congrats on the mod spot

[Sarah MacLeod]

I dont want to discuss it further, i think i may just delete the mod from Nexus and host it on my Site http://www.e-mods.net/ and keep promoting the mod in this forum, Nexus giving me a hard hard time... i dont think i want to hang with them anymore.

[Chris Cross Cabaret Man]

It's a shame really. While there are many downsides with nexus, it's the best place to get attention for your mod. =/

[Sami Blackburn]

That's such a pity, I came here wondering why all the comments had gone from the mod page justnow, it's a lot harder for me to keep up with mods that aren't installed with Nexus Mod Manager, and it really is the best one stop mod site. Having said that, I have no experience of actually hosting mods on the site.
This has actually become one of my favourite Skyrim mods, it adds depth and flavour to the wildlife - I'm more interested in watching what they do & leaving them be instead of massacring everything with arrows incase it aggros on me as I ride past.
I came across something new today and I have to ask - Slaughterfish Gator is yours?

[Paula Ramos]

Could you please apply the mammoth treatment to the giants as well? it's annoying to see them go after a rabbit or a fox just because they passed through their camp..

[Queen Bitch]

@EtaYorius :

Keep your mod there, just for promotion, but focus discussions here...or any other place you want.



@charon711

Thanks for trying help me ....skytest is right after "Distant Detail.esp" in the above list.

My list was sorted by BOSS.

[Soku Nyorah]

@EtaYorius

I've been banned as well from nexus, mainly because i was ignorant to certain things, but i havnt had an issue since. If you want it to get the most attention and a good base of people that can play it and report their findings to you i would keep it there. Just make sure to direct them here.

@ pep legal

Hmm not sure then, EtaYorius would have to figure that one out for ya.
