Welcome to the weekly r/SkyrimRequiem General Discussion Thread!

Hi all,

I’ve been playing Requiem as a vampire for ages, and since Vampiric Thirst isn't working properly for me anymore with the latest Requiem version, i decided to make my own tweaks that eventually grew into a mod. Everything is built on Requiem’s own vampirism (its effects, thirst stages and feeding), and the drawbacks are untouched.

What it does (more detailed description on the Nexus page)

• Vampire age: your age is the days you’ve been a vampire, plus days stolen through diablerie. You grow through five ages: Neonate → Fledgling (30 days) → Kindred (90) → Elder (150) → Master (240). Thresholds are configurable in the MCM.
• Night bonus grows with age: Requiem’s vampire Health/Stamina bonus now goes from +60 to +300 as you age, instead of +300 from the start. +300 is what Requiem’s NPC vampires get.
• Diablerie: drink from vampires you kill to steal their age (1 day for weaker vampires, 3 for level 50+). The corpse turns to ash, so no farming the same body.
• 12 gifts, you get 4 (+1 bonus for a certain diablerie): chosen from a menu as you age, in 4 categories:
  • The Hunt: auto-collect blood on melee or Drain kills, feed on unaware awake NPCs
  • Blood Magic: Drain also absorbs Magicka/Stamina (at a higher cost), Seduction dominates instead of calming, stronger Vampire’s Servant
  • Blood Gifts: melee damage, armor, movement speed
  • Night Powers: detect life, open locks, summon two Death Hounds
• Quality of life: configurable thirst speed (12 h / 24 h per stage, or Requiem’s original), configurable night hours, Seduction available at every thirst stage.

Requirements: Requiem, SKSE, Dawnguard. SkyUI + MCM Helper are optional, for the settings.

Compatibility: it replaces the player vampire script, so it won’t work with other vampire overhauls. Load it before the Reqtificator output and re-run the Reqtificator.

Since it’s my first mod, it might be buggy and somewhat unbalanced. I’d really appreciate feedback on these two areas.

Hello, recently I started a new game on requiem with my own existing mod list. I decided to play as a two handed nord warrior. I heard that requiem is really hard and that people struggled to even kill wolves. First bandits I fought in the woods I killed in like 1-3 hits, so I lowered the damage dealt to 60% in the mcm menu. I then decided to kill the 3 bandits camping, still maybe 2 or 4 hits to kill them. I am now lvl 3 and decided to go to embershard mine, I easily killed the two bandits, one which had dwarven armour and the other with a steel plate helmet. Is my game bugged, or are they supposed to have this high tier armour and die in like 2 hits.

If not then I know my own mod list has bugged to game or something.

are there any patches for survival mode?

or are there any other survival mods that work well with 3bftweaks?

I have a really old Requiem of the Indifferent output from a year ago that I can't repatch because my modlist is just way too big. My bandaid fix is running the Synthesis patcher to patch any of the new mods that cant be patched into the RFTI output.
It really sucks that there is not a work around yet that can be made so I don't have to jump through 50,000 hoops and risk mispatching something or missing out on conflicting patches because I now have 3-4 RFTI outputs each overwriting each other with newer data. I have over 1803 active plugins, and Im only able to run the base Requiem patcher when i disable 90% of my list and leave only the most basic mods and the CC creations which they forced onto me :(

Requiem 6 with Nox tweaks, complete beginner and I keep running out of stamina instantly I'm wearing HA with the first perk, any advice? Thank you

First time trying Requiem and this list looks really dope, lots of survival elements without the bloat of extra new lands & followers, wish me luck all!

I tried the blessing of mara and it does not happen with that blessing, only arkay, and when i get the mara blessing, i went back to get the arkay blessing and when i did, I still got two blessings from it.

I know the Champions of arkay get magika regen, but i don't know what my character did to earn championship, other than maybe kill a lot of undead,

If it is the championship bonus than, i just didn't think it would look like this

Hello, I'm doing a Skyrim VR run with Requiem 5.2.3 (this one is known to work well with VR using FUS Modpack, per this guide). So far it's been great!

I've disabled most/all gameplay mods that would affect the intended balance except for one: Locational Damage. Landing a headshot feels so good in VR.. But I was wondering, will this ruin the balance of the mod? Does Requiem have its own locational damage system? As good it feels landing headshots, if it's going to be OP I'd rather remove it.

Estou tendo problemas com a nova atualização da steam do skyrim SP- AE

Após a atualização, fiz o downgrade e segui todos os passos possíveis mostrado nos guias dos fóruns, IA materiais do Yt mas nada dele dar ok, mostra que o reqtificator inicia por tabela inicio o skyrim e funciona tudo mas na hora de instalar abrindo o inventario in-game ele persiste sem funcionar e o jogo só ignora a instalação.

Acreditava que o requiem ou passos feitos estavam incompletos, ainda não reinstalei, algum veterano experiente pode dar uma luz para esse mero mortal ?

Hi, I'm looking for a modder who could create—or advise me on—a mod for SkyUI categories. I don't mean equipment slots, but the actual inventory categories. Every SkyUI skin—whether it's Nordic UI or something else—only changes the look of the icons; it doesn't add new categories. Currently, there's a maximum of 10: All, Weapons, Apparel, Potions, Scrolls, Food, Ingredients, Keys, Books, and Misc. I've downloaded some icons for potential new categories. I'm wondering if the current system—where all clothing, boots, gloves, armor, jewelry, and other equipable items fall into one single "Apparel" category—is hard-coded. Is there anyone who could create a mod to add new categories? For example, instead of just "Apparel," we could have: Body (everything worn on the torso), Legs (boots, greaves, etc.), Hands (gloves, gauntlets), Head (helmets, masks), Jewelry (rings, amulets, circlets, earrings), and Accessories (tails, backpacks, potion belts, shields, etc.). We could also split Weapons and Ammo into separate categories. Is this possible to create, or is it a hard limit imposed by SKSE or the base game itself? Thanks for the info. My goal is simply to reduce inventory clutter by giving everything its own category. Does anyone else have a similar idea?

I’m playing a Requiem-based setup for the first time and want to make a Redguard who’s more of a wandering explorer/storyteller than a traditional bard.

She’s curious, sarcastic, pretty independent, obsessed with old ruins, history, legends and weird mysteries. The idea is that she travels, gets herself into ancient places she probably shouldn’t be in, then turns those experiences into stories/songs later. I also want a companion to be a big part of the playthrough, probably Remiel.

My main problem is the actual build. I’m thinking One-Handed + Evasion as the base, but I’m not sure what to do beyond that without spreading too thin. Speech obviously fits, but should magic become a real part of her combat, or just something she picks up naturally along the way?

Would love ideas for skills, Standing Stone, religion, gear or RP-friendly questlines.

For reference, I’m using Constellations 3.0 – A True RPG and the Constellations – A True RPG main mod page / modlist, plus Bards College Expansion.

Perhaps I've been playing too much Dark and Darker and hoping to find the same feel in Skyrim is a fool's errand, but I really like the little dopamine hit when I find loot with good rolls, but obviously this mod wasn't made with Requiem's balance in mind so I'm worried it's going to make me too overpowered too fast

How can I offset this enough to not ruin Requiem's vision too much?

Hey! Been struggeling the last few days with trying to figure out how to get the skill perk Advanced Blacksmithing. have 50 skill on the character. No matter where I look ppl are just talking about Advanced Scale when I search the web for existing threads about smithing (does this perk even have a book??).

Setting the smithing skillbooks to optional hasn't helped.

The perk just refuses to be learnable.

Anybody else had this issue. I'm at my wits end and locked out of some of my character fantasy.. xD

Hello,

Sorry if it has been asked already but I don't find the information anywhere and I don't know if I'm dumb or not.

There's a Fortify light/heavy armor enchantment that increase your skill level of the corresponding skill. This does not directly increase the armor rate, so what is the use for this magical effect ? Is there some obscure formula that is affected by it ?

Haven’t played in a good few years and recently got a new pc with an itch to play skyrim requiem again. I used to play wildlander and arkays commandment a lot and loved those. Was just wondering if theres any good ones with a similar feel to those. I never liked the ones that changed all the animations like crazy and made it seem like a wannabe dark souls game. Any recommendations?

Been taking a hiatus, got lucky and blocked the update (so far).
Last time was an ordeal getting all the software on the same page (Skyrim files, SKSE, mods...)

I think there was a way to revert to a prior version, but USSEP only has the latest version.
So save those prior mod versions.

With Hearts of Iron 3 you'd copy the game files outside the steam directory...play on that executable and Steam couldn't update those files. Gonna see if that is an option with Skyrim.

Edit I'm not HighwayConscious6186, thought I was logged in with my profile.

I remember Requiem having a website where during a certain time period starting at midnight you could read horror stories set in the mods universe.

2 of them I remember is one about a miner stuck after a cave in and swarmed by spiders and another is about an adventurer trapped in a dungeon hiding from undead.

I cannot find anything online about the website (which I assume is gone after all these years) or the stories to read

Anyone know if they still exist out there to read, spent the last two hours trying to find em

so ive gotten jzargo as a companion but ive noticed he just doesnt use magic at all. and i dont want to rush to any conclusion but i think its because of requiem and how it rebalanced pretty much all aspects of combat and that includes magic. im also worried this will also means most companion will be terrible as they may just not have enough stamina to use regular weapons

oddly enough enemies are completly fine and can use magic. oh i forgot to add that when i did the quest 'under saarthall' the old man (i cant remember his name) also didnt use magic at all.

i really dont know what to do. also i would love to post my mod list but i acc dont know how. but general theories and advice would mean alot. thanks

im doing my first ever playthrough, and im stuck between picking warrior standing stone and mage standing stone. as i know picking either one locks you out of the other standing stones.

i want to do a heavy armour spellsword build but im wondering if im doing it right. as in is it ok that im using heavy armour.

any other advice will also be very much appreciated.

Hey everyone, I recently re-installed Skyrim on my new laptop and was having an alright time getting my old modlist back up and running. But I can't for the life of me get the Reqtificator working, or to display anything besides a terminal box with the location of the Skyrim Data folder.

I had "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" written in the binary field in the modify executable tab as outlined in the setup guide and I imagine this is where my fault is, but I cannot find anything else to fill in this line on Linux systems.

How do I deal with dragons as a stealth archer build? I have a decent bow and I’m using dragon bone arrows with a good poison on them, but it seems my shots barely tickle dragons. I just spent 30 minutes savescumming to fight one.

Is archery just not good against dragons?
