Hi all,

Been building a LO template in the excitement of the update, and ran into a fork in the road.

I am looking for a good Stormcloack Replacer and love the Sons of Skyrim infantry and officers, but I am determined to use Lollygaggin for my city guards (just doesnt feel like Skyrim without their helmets for me).

Is there a dedicated port of SoS that only replaces the Stormcloaks or would someone be willing to help create this?

Would also love to hear of any other stormcloak suggestions yall might have

Appreciate all and any consideration into this

*FYI I am on an Xbox Series X

This is an updated version of my load order from last month, which was overly ambitious and bloated - find it here.

This is what I am running on a fresh playthrough, been testing it the past 3 weeks and no major issues that I have run into. Some framerate drops to be expected in heavier areas, and I have experienced only a couple of crashes that were not recurring.

Want to share this as an update for those looking for LO guidance, inspiration, or curious for an update.

Feel free to ask any questions or ask for any help (if I can I will try).

Added a few mods this week marked as [New] which I have not had the time to tell you they are tested, but I think all should be fine. Only one I am going to really monitor is the Exit To Landing Bay mod.

I am also debating adding in the StarLuminous series and Remove Color Filter, neither should be an issue to add to this load order - I just played with them before and giving Vanilla a chance.

Hi yall, I finally decided to try out StarUI after the patches came out and hearing so much praise for it in the past.

Thinks it looks amazing and love the feel except one thing that kills me with it is seeing enemy healthbars and the npcs' levels.

Is there any way to remove this or workarounds?

I love everything about the feel of StarUI AIO so would be a shame to have to drop the HUD component, so would love to hear if anyone has a fix/any suggestions.

Im on Xbox btw
