My dear Great House family, friends, and modding community, Our beloved High Magister Jac passed away last week from the terrible blight of COVID. Patrick Wilson, Pat, Jac, Jacura, gulfwulf - by whatever name you know him as, most certainly impacted your gaming experience, or you probably wouldn't ...

My condolences to family and friends. Extra hugs to Elaura. Thank you. Pat was a great hugger, so I'll take all the hugs you can spare. So nice to hear from people who remember him. Once upon a time a princess met her prince here. I have nothing but warm feelings and happy memories of GHF. P.S. Did...

To raise any NPC's disposition:

• face the NPC
• open the console
• click on the NPC to make their ID show up at the top of the console window
• type: setdisposition 100
• press enter
• close the console window

IIRC, Taddeus made separate NOM .esps rather than patches for the different setups.  While you have to have the other mods installed, you don't use their .esps. The results of this are twofold: 1) If you install PHW and/or Creatures first, and then NOM, the meshes for any ingredients both have ...

Aw, not going to say what you got for your birthday, Sweetie?

"proper" is rather subjective.  Just back up your files before attempting to clean them with any program.  The worst case scenario is *over* cleaning, in which case you just reload your backup and try again. If you are cleaning mods that are already being used in a savegame, all ...

Heya, Gnomey!  Been rather nostalgic about the good old days myself, lately.  Glad to hear you have school behind you.  You came back at a good time, all the introduced-to-TES-by-Skyrim shiny has worn off and the community has settled down a bit.  There's always an upheaval when ...

I did have problems once or twice a month.  I'd have to login again and/OR the site would forget my settings for envolve and the chat window would spontaneously come back.  I use MMH less often than i used to with no change in frequency of issues.  I never use THoS.  I say "...

Actually, there is an option in the teleport control which gives you these choices: Your companions always teleport with you Your companions teleport with you only when they are following Your companions never teleport with you. You do not need to take them out of your list after you choose "on...

6 HDDs will reduce airflow considerably if they are internal.  Two graphics cards will do the same and generate a lot of heat.  Without a/c, I wouldn't run that setup unless I had a liquid-cooled radiator system.  No amount of fans will keep it cool with no airflow. One way to reduce ...

The way the game engine reads dialog entries is from the top of the list to the bottom, stopping at the first one where all the variables are true.  If the dialog is listed in the wrong order, certain entries will never be seen in game and you may even see a loop, like in your issue. How comfor...

So far, we can tell this is caused by LG Nerevarine.  Jac will be along shortly with possible solutions as there is more than one way to fix it.

Jac's teaching me how to troubleshoot dialog, so I'm checking this out while he's making dinner.

Don't know where you got the idea SSD's produce any heat at all.  They are like internal USB sticks.  There are no moving parts, so no heat can be produced. Jac and I each have 128GB SSD's for the OS and separate standard hard disk drives for programs, documents, music, pictures, etc. ...

Just remember when you get your new box, choose a drive and create a games folder outside of all default system folders.  You shouldn't have to mess with UAC or Admin rights if you start off right, but if you do, it's no big deal. Modern games will still install some folders in My Documents, bu...

It sounds to me like Lawnmower Man doesn't like you playing games.

I wish you luck!  I'm sure you know to back up your registry before going down the rabbit hole. BTW, running your computer as admin isn't the same with Windows 7 and 8.  It really doesn't help with running programs aside from not getting that dumb "You need to have administrator privi...

We discovered early on when we got Windows 7 machines that you cannot install pre-Vista games in *any* system directories because of some sort of permission issue.  Windows "protects" files in system created directories and prevents "stranger-danger" programs from writing to...

Never saw this one before.  It sounds like it has something to do with the MCP.  The patch which causes NPCs to be really be exhausted by damage fatigue spells.  If the companions have such a spell on them for some reason, this would cause them to collapse until the spell effect wears...

Jac and I are having a similar problem with Verizon Wireless and the TR.org website.  We aren't on GHF's blacklist, thankfully.  Unfortunately, not only do sites have blacklists, but ISPs do too.  This is going to be a royal PITA for the anti-spam brigade if all the blacklists are mad...

Actually, your issue is usually related to not having Direct X 9c, or the correct .Net version installed.  The latest and greatest versions of those are not backwards compatible, so if you skipped those steps during the installation of MGSO, I recommend going back and installing them. In additi...

On a couple of books, the triangles I want removed are in the middle, but on most they are at the end.  I figured all I should have to do is change the number of triangles to the shortened version and update the array, but even on a single set of books this breaks it. I'd hate to have to do it ...

Please, I don't want to hear about blender, 3dsmax, or any other program unless it's an add-on to NifSkope.  If you want to talk about your favorite modeling program, please do so in another thread, thanks. So, I'm trying to edit a mesh that has stacks of books.  I am able to do a lot with...
