# Lots of Bug Fixes and Patches

---

# Before you start - READ PLEASE!!!

*bQuickSave will need some setup before you can start using it, follow the guide on this mods page!*

*Organized Bandits in Skyrim (OBIS) will need to be enabled from the Mod Configuration Menu(MCM) when you start up a new playthrough*

*Something about* Amazing Follower Tweaks (AFT) *and NOT having Sofia, Ingo, Lucien and Convenient Horses to do certain actions involving drawing a sword/shield through AFT, not sure what it was at the moment.*

*The road leading south west from Riften, you will come across Heartwood Castle and further down the road is Blackthorn, in between these two modded areas is a slight gap in height difference in the terrain that lets you see beneath the world, however, from what I've heard, the two mods still work together if in the right load order, which I think I have right.*

# Lighting Flickering/Glitches

> *A few lighting glitches do occur, such as in Morthal, some grass that has snow on it doesn't react to lights, such as a torch, but does change lighting of the grass depending on the time of day or weather. There are also some meshes and terrain that flickers in very specific areas, mostly seems to be a problem at night or in the dark or some interiors, but I literally can't find a way to fix it. I at least know it doesn't seem to be from ELFX since I tested without ELFX or its patches. I'm still not sure what causes them, that is why there are sooo many patches and bug fixes installed.*

Here is an example of the flickering lighting. https://imgur.com/HzzeoLX

> # If you know how to fix these flickering lighting glitches, PLEASE let me know! 

---

# Requirements
- *Sofia Follower Mod (Loose) should install automatically without 1 file in particular which was conflicting with SkyUI*

---

# Incompatible Mods
*As far as I'm aware, the following mods I had trouble with and recommend against installing them unless you know how to get them working.*

- *Immersive Citizens*
- *Immersive Horses*
- *Vivid Weathers*

---

# Troubleshooting Problems

If you are playing on Linux like I am, you can setup SteamTinkerLauncher system wide to setup Vortex within its own proton prefix to work with Skyrim SE/AE. There are guides around for how to set it up.

If the game doesn't load the mods correctly
- You may have to go to the main menu and go to the "Mods" section to enable all of them, for whatever reason, I had to do this every time I added a new mod, and once I did that, if I tried to load a new game or a saved game, it would crash, but it would load fine the second time around and still have ALL the mods you enabled from before.

Again, there are some lighting glitches as mentioned in the Before You Start section.

# Updates
I may continue to update and change this collection around as needed.

I may also try to install this onto my Steam Deck and write a guide for it if possible, still learning how SteamTinkerLauncher works to get Vortex running correctly on the SteamDeck.

Anniversary Enhanced Edition

Alternate Start & ELFX with JK's Skyrim/Interiors with more areas to explore, quests to do, creatures to come across out in the wild, followers to accompany you and a few new player homes. Not the best Collection, but it works for me. SteamDeck Guide soon
