CSVP is a comprehensive "Vanilla Plus" list designed around NGVO (Next Generation Visual Overhaul) by Biggie_Boss. Total plugins: 695, 75 ESPs Owing to the need to clean master files and certain errors with Wabbajack, CSVP only supports English Steam versions of Skyrim Special Edition. GOG and other Languages are not supported. CSVP REQUIRES YOUR SKYRIM VERSION TO BE UPDATED TO 1.6.1170 AND THIS IS THE GAME VERSION THAT THE MODLIST RUNS ON Only Windows 10 and 11 work with Wabbajack fully. LTSC, special variants, lightened editions or any other modified variant WILL NOT WORK. Your windows version must be 21H2 or newer to run both Wabbajack and NGVO. Running the list from Hard Disk Drives or external drives is STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST. A lot of content is swapped at game run time and, as a result, fast storage and RAM are needed. ---------------------------------------------------- This isn't an "ongoing project" or anything, it is simply my personal Modlist that I wanted to make accessible for the people close to me. !!! DISCLAIMER !!! That being said please don't expect bug fixes, big updates, or even steady communication. This list was built to be easy as possible to configure, you're at liberty to do so as you please. ---------------------------------------------------- Installation Installing CSVP is relatively easy and, if you have Nexus Premium, will be a simple waiting game. Pre-Installation Prior to installing, please complete the following steps. - Install Visual C++ x64 & .Net Runtime v5 desktop x64 - Change Skyrim so it does not automatically update. - Fully uninstall Skyrim by deleting the folder and the Skyrim Special edition folder inside \Documents\My Games. - Fully disable OneDrive and any other programs which hook into user file areas. - Reinstall Skyrim into a location that is not Program files. Somewhere like C:\Games is a good location. If you only have one drive, look into LostDragonistā€™s SteamLibrary tool. - Start the game once and let it do the graphics check. Do not worry about the settings as it will be replaced during installation. - Launch the game to the main menu and allow it to download the free creation club addon files. DO NOT VERIFY YOUR GAME FILES - Remove/Disable any 3rd party antivirus such as MalwareBytes or Webroot. These will mess with the installation and, in the case of the latter, causes more problems than it solves. - Install the Skyrim Special Edition: Creation Kit on Steam and run it at least once. ---------------------------------------------------- Wabbajack Installation Installing Wabbajack Once you have completed pre-installation, download the latest version of Wabbajack and place it in a folder such as C:\Games\Wabbajack. Do not place it in program files, on your desktop or in your downloads folder. I recommend placing it on an SSD as it will work quicker on there. NOTE: CSVP will always require the latest version of Wabbajack ---------------------------------------------------- Downloading and Installing CSVP Downloading and installing can take a while depending on your internet connection and computer. To install, complete the following steps. - Open Wabbajack and click on browse modlists. - Press the download button on NGVO and wait for it to download. - Set the installation folder to be somewhere like C:\NGVO. Do not install it to your desktop or downloads folder. - The download location does not need to be on a SSD but it makes installing a bit faster. Press the play button to begin. - Go and pet your nearest fluffy animal whilst Wabbajack does its thing. Alternatively read through this readme again. - If the installation is successful, jump for joy and move onto post installation. If the installation is unsuccessful, follow what is below. ---------------------------------------------------- Problems with installation It is possible that you may encounter an error with Wabbajack when installing. Some common issues are listed below. Could not download x: Big files can fail to download due to connection issues. You can either run Wabbajack again or download the file manually. If you decide to manually download it, make sure to place it in the same place as the other downloads. Make sure you have downloaded all the Paid AE update content! Make sure you have the Creation Kit installed. Go back to Pre-Installation and read it properly this time. x is not a whitelisted download: This will happen when I update the modlist. Please check if there is a new update or wait until you see a release ping. Wabbajack could not find my game folder: Either buy the game or go back to the Pre-Installation step. Antivirus reports a virus: You did not follow the steps in Pre-Installation. Go back and follow it. If you have followed it then you can fix this by adding an exclusion for Mod Organizer in Windows Defender. ---------------------------------------------------- Post-Installation Stock Game & Root Builder CSVP utilizes a Wabbajack technology called Stock Game. What this essentially does is create a copy of your Skyrim installation within the installation location of the list. This enables greater compatibility with other mod-lists. CSVP also utilizes Root Builder alongside Stock Game to enable easier management of hooks such as ENB, Reshade and Engine Fixes. NOTE: Screenshots save to Overwrite\Stock Game. ---------------------------------------------------- Starting up the list: Open the installation folder and double-click on the program called ModOrganizer.exe. Make sure the dropdown box on the right is set to 'CSVP - A NGVO Fork' and press the Run button. In Game (FINAL STEPS): There are 3 things left to do before you're all set - When making your character for the first time, navigate to the 'Heads' tab at the top, in that section find 'Face Part' and set it to 3. That is High Poly Head. Proceed to make your character as normal. - Pause, navigate to Settings, find MCM Recorder in the Mod Configuration Menu and run 'CSVP Setup'. This configures mods that didn't have Settings Loaders Plugins. - Lastly open the Immersive Equipment Displays Menu (CTRL+BACKSPACE), go top left to File -> Import/Export, Import 'CSVP' and select Merge (not replacement). This configures the dynamic equipment displays to my settings. ---------------------------------------------------- In-game MCM options: CSVP should have no required MCM options to be selected beyond the final steps above; if that is incorrect please let me know and I will fix it/post settings for the Mod in question. You are welcome to change any/all others to achieve your desired setup. ---------------------------------------------------- Known Bugs/Crashes: If you are using an AMD GPU, you need to disable DLAA and enable TAA in the SkyrimPrefs.ini located in the profile folder. Otherwise, you WILL crash. Dying and then reloading CAN cause crashes with Dyndolod DLL NG. The alternative is to disable Dyndolod DLL NG and re-run Dyndolod. This will enable Dyndolod via papyrus scripts which resolves this issue but is heavier FPS-wise and has worse lods. ---------------------------------------------------- Removing the Modlist Simply delete the folder, and you have uninstalled it. ---------------------------------------------------- Credits: YOU for reading this.
