I've redone all my mods to a new load order but am finding some issues. Specifically when i recruit Selene Kate www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36993/? i get an increasing amount of lag. Previouse to recruiting her the game is running well. I am usually with several companions when i do. I am thinking about maybe trying a profile that can just run her as a companion. I have used her before this current Mod Organized set up and really enjoyed her but that also was when I was having the issues which facilitated a reinstall. That being said the problems were on going and not related to Selene. Anyone else used this mod and what were your experiences?

We checked out Selene Kate. The Red Bull + Jolt cola micro-managers delight of mods. Be sure to first install the mods to support this mod, and of course the mods to support the support mods. I forgot if the phase of the moon is taken into account as to when you are supposed to install the mod and I think the PC should not be wearing purple underwear during the initial simplified 147 step installation and tweaking. Down to earth, with all Selenes pending scripts I'd be surprised in the average computer could run the game at all.

She is fine for me. I made her a AFT follower.

She is fine for me. I made her a AFT follower. Does she act differently as AFT? AFT insulating/protecting the game from all her floops and adjustments comes to mind. I won't use AFT. I've had up to 12 companions all working perfectly which I attribute to Vilja. Now that the game runs so well I'm not about to mod muck it.

Yes, so far anyway. My game, since I installed every mod manually, has run like clockwork. I've just surprised myself!! 128 mods installed, hadn't realisd that many. only Selene at the moment after a new start.didn't like the looks of my PC. I really need to learn the CK How do you run 12 companions? who are they? Whicxh mod allows that?

How do you run 12 companions? who are they? Whicxh mod allows that? Right now we are running 10+ companions. Vilja was first and her tweaks to the game allow all the rest. Vilja, Inigo, Aela expanded, Viconia, Arissa, Cerwiden, M'rissi, Sophia, Sindra and Tindra. I have Sindra and Tindra following Vilja so I get to hear all their dialogue and songs. Have had 15 followers, some temp NPCs. Can't stand Serana or Eryniel and her weird family and graphics so got rid of them. Just unticked the mod, made a new save, did a save game clean and another save. All function perfectly except Cerwiden who is apparently buggy for everyone. Her quest never starts. For keeping the saved games clean I use Amgepo's little trick. At the load selection screen I go into the console and type COC nothing <enter>then load the saved game. Also use markfordelete <target> on all litter like dead bodies before leaving the cell. The saves remain very clean. Otherwise, I never use any follower tweaks or wardrobes including Vilja's. Wardrobe mods with modified or improved armor is begging for crashes. A nice spartan game, extremely stable. The followers have no problems going to Solstheim, Falskarr, or Wyrmstooth. They also worked out well in Helgen reborn. I'm not into mod mod mod mod mod. It's all about interaction and dialogue. All followers wear very heavily improved armor and have very powerful weapons. We have overwhelming combat advantage always. A yawn, you can only kill so many enemies before you want to play a different game so we explore the nuances and details instead. Oh yes. All followers have text files in the game folder in their name. Vilja.txt, Inigo.txt and so on. The text file has: prid <FollowerNumber> (next line) movetoplayer. So if a follower gets lost I just open the console and type bat Inigo (or whoever is missing) and there the follower is, in your face. Vilja's reset spell helps them stay in line and in the correct armor or clothing.

EFF allows up to 100 followers if you're feeling masochistic enough....... Cerwiden's quest does start, I've completed it twice, it just takes a hell of a lot of thanking her for being the party healer/complimenting her at every opportunity/asking if she'd like anything to eat, eventually she'll comment about missing the clam chowder from the Temple, so make sure to have some in your inventory, it's not the basic clam chowder, the mod adds Cerwiden's special Chowder recipe so there'll be 2 chowder recipes listed. Eventually, after she's eaten enough chowder, she'll open up about the assassins chasing her when you ask about them and that's the start of her quest chain, it can seem to be an eternity before it triggers, but if you really work hard it will trigger.

I guess I'll have to put some extra effort into Ceri. Hard to get into that with her incessant religious infomercials. I have no clam chowder and no recipe. Now what?

The recipe should be available when you use a cooking pot or similar. I think you need 1 clam meat and 1 salt, but it's been some time since I went through that with her. It takes quite some time for her to warm up. I think you need 50+ relationship points with her. You earn one point each time you thank her and each time you give her her favorite food. It's only possible to earn points every two or three days in-game. Hence the long wait. Once she warms up to you she'll give you a gift from home and you'll be able to advance her quest.

Well I can see two issues I have different from your inputs. One sorry Sniffles but I'm really into armor mods especially DesertX's. I also switched to EFF as a requirement for one of my mods over AFT. Oh wait I also have not, gasp, been recruiting Vilja first. I know I know. My logic is that I'm rpging "Alternate Starts" and I'm trying to let the player interaction drive my travels through Skyrim. I'm running two games where one was shipwrecked and th other was robbed in Solstiem. Now that has been rather interesting. I might run a quick new profile and grab Vilja first and see if that changes things. sniffles what other Vilja tweaks do you use, I just have the 2 main files. As to clam chowder I added two mods one to add clams and one is a massive cheat but I love it. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9037/? it adds a lot of clams to below Winterhold, the lake by riften and the north coast west of Solitude, other wise they are hard to find. Been using this forever. This second one is experimental per the authors page. ooops forgot that. It makes a container of all items in all your mods that is accessible through a learned spell/power. aIt can lead to slacking asas, oh look Ceri's clam chowder. It restocks in it's menu anything you removed once it's closed. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64905/?

I'm not using any Vilja tweaks. Just what Vilja vanilla offers. The ability to have a lot of companions. Maybe my game is broken a little?

Sorry to hear that, Sniffles. Sounds like you likely have one or both of two problems - a mod conflict or a defective install of Cerwiden mod, the former being by far most likely. I have no idea how to possibly advance her quest with the console. I know there's a quest guide somewhere on the net but haven't seen any inclusion of quest stages for the console.

Maybe she just doesn't like the crowd? Maybe she is supposed to be the only follower?
