What's this About an Update?

OMEGA is a great overhaul, but sadly it's been left in the same, outdated state for some time now.  This is a new version of that mod that incorporates updates from the mods that make up OMEGA, like Morrowloot Ultimate and Skyrim Revamped - Loot and Encounter Zones, and also makes various bug and consistency fixes that were previously missed.  Both new and returning users should find it easier than ever to install and play with OMEGA. Not sure what OMEGA even is?  Keep reading, I've included the mod description from the original page, with changes to bring it up to date of course.
What is OMEGA?

In the vein of YASH, EnaiRim, Requeim, and more... OMEGA's design goal is to offer the best and most versatile gameplay overhaul available for SSE.  OMEGA is the starting point for any mod build that at its core changes Skyrim into a challenging, difficult, and balanced experience. 

OMEGA combines several mods into one and offers patches for a variety of mods to remove conflicts.  And it's modular, so that you can pick and choose which mods to use.

What's the TLDR version of OMEGA?
I'm so bad at "short versions" of anything...

OMEGA, at it's core, is a collection of mods designed to completetly overhaul the game. It is primarily based around leveling and deleveling loot and enemies to provide a more challenging gameplay experience. OMEGA also supports and encourages the use of many mods that touch other areas, such as combat and equipment.

The original design of OMEGA was to take the incredibly impressive Encounter Zone design from SR with it's increased difficulty multipliers to spawn higher level mobs and roll all of that into MLU, the best loot overhaul out there, with it's recommended Weapon AF changes.  However the result expanded and grew to become an All In One Mod forming the cornerstone of the best modular gameplay overhaul on SSE.

However before delving into specifics understand that an underlying goal of OMEGA was to make combat both interesting and fun.  The game can just get too damn easy whem your character gets into the 30's or 40's level range.  OMEGA includes multiple combat mods, a complete enemy overhaul mod, dragon overhaul mods, and many game mechanics overhauls as well.  OMEGA isn't a Loot and EZ mod with a guide.  OMEGA is THE overhaul for SSE you didn't know you were waiting for.

OMEGA is also a Mod Framework in addition to everything else.  And unlike an expansive guide such as Nordic Skyrim or Lexy's LOTD, this should offer something smaller yet equally useful.  However offering a Modular Gameplay Overhaul while also offering AIO Mods could potentially pull design goals in opposite directions.

To resolve the potential pitfalls of my design, I decided upon a course of action with 4 core tenets:
  • Offer a tight Mod Framework allowing users customization options to swap mods in and out.
  • Offer a core group of mods/patches in an AIO Mod format that would be essential to any user.
  • Offer patches since there would be incompatibilities.
  • Offer more than one way for the end user to get the full OMEGA experience.

Sorry, but OMEGA, MLU, and SR isn't for me...
I still got you fam!

The Mod Framework is Solid and doesn't require OMEGA, MLU, or SR at all.  And it offers a proper Load Order with MCM recommendations.  You can
ignore MLU and SR entirely and still end up getting a lot from OMEGA.  Plus there are several Mods and Patches here that don't require OMEGA, MLU, or SR at all.


OMEGA offers the following:

  • A New OMEGA MorrowLoot Ultimate AIO Mod and a New OMEGA Skyrim Revamped Loot and Encounter Zones AIO Mod
  • An easy to use FOMOD option that installs up to 13 patches in just one esp
  • OMEGA MLU and OMEGA SR are 100% Compatible with all MLU and SR Patches
  • Fully integrated WACCF and Weapon AF design for 100% compatibility
  • Over 30+ NEW Mods and Patches
  • A Mod Framework of over 40 mods for a balanced Skyrim experience
  • Reduction of total ESP's required by the user
  • Non-OMEGA Patches, offering Patch support for those who don't want to use OMEGA
  • Quality of Life improvements for many mods and general gameplay
  • Many inconsistencies and missing values from MLU have been addressed
  • 4 New Skyrim Uncapper INI's
  • And the inclusion of many more improvements, tweaks, and adjustments


What does each Mod actually do?
Time to show the goods!

As you read further you'll see sections like this that have their own spoiler tags below them.  That's to save space on what is a tremendously huge web page so that it's easier to find everything.  But instead of rambling further let's get right into it eh?  As they say, the proof is in the pudding.  Not sure why they put it in the pudding, but since they do it's time to open up the first spoiler on this page.
Spoiler:

Hmm...no pudding.


OMEGA MLU
OMEGA MLU is intended for users who want more from MLU without adding in too many other mods.

Included in: Nothing
Load Order: Needs to load as low as possible in your Load Order
Lexy LOTD Load Order: If using Lexy LOTD then sort this according to the guide
LOOT: Do not change the Metadata setting to "Late Loaders" as some mods like Realistic Water Two still need to load after MLU.esp

  • Encounter Zones Uncapped MLU

  • Simple Fixes

OMEGA SR
OMEGA SR is intended for users who want more from SR without adding in too many other mods.  
Requirements: None
Included in: Nothing
Load Order: Load after SRCEO
Only 1 ESP

An AIO Mod that uses the "Skyrim Revamped.esp" name so that it's compatible some SR Patches. Some patches will be incompatible due to this mod having its form IDs compacted for the sake of flagging it as an ESL.


Also includes changes from all of the following Patches available here on the OMEGA page.  See the Patches section for descriptions.

  • Encounter Zones Uncapped SR
  • SRCEO and Mortal Enemies Patch


OMEGA Mortal Enemies
Requirements: None
Included in: Nothing
Load Order: Sort by LOOT
Only 1 ESP

  • Converts records to form 44.
  • Adjusts additional races to fit with the rest of Mortal Enemies that were previously missed.
  • Flagged as an ESL.
  • Replaces the original Mortal Enemies.


OMEGA Custom Edits
Requirements: None
Included in: OMEGA Lite AIO Patch, OMEGA Complete AIO Patch
Load Order: Needs to load after Cutting Room Floor and any sound overhauls such as ISC or AOS
Only 1 ESP

  • All 4 Cloak Spells have been modified: Flame Cloak, Shock Cloak, Frost Cloak, and Whirlwind Cloak.
  • FX remains on the player, but the swirling FX is removed.
  • Power affects Magnitude, not Duration.
  • Cloak spells emit no sound when active.
  • All 5 Flesh Spells have been modified: Oakflesh, Stoneflesh, Ironflesh, Ebonyflesh, Dragonhide.
  • Flesh spells don't place FX on the player.
  • Flesh spells have a duration of 180 seconds now.
  • Dragonhide can now be cast with either hand with the same cast time as other Flesh spells.
  • Oak, Stone, Iron, and Ebony have had their Mage Armor perk values modified.
  • This is an edit to the spells, not to the perks, so it is compatible with any Perk Overhaul.
  • +20 Armor at 1/3, +40 Armor at 2/3, and +40 Armor at 3/3 after all modifiers.
  • Light/Heavy Armor have 100 more "hidden" armor when wearing 4 pieces of armor than Cloth does when worn.  
  • The 20/40/40 bonuses to Mage Armor perks means that at 70 Alteration w/3 Perks, your character pays to remove this "hidden" nerf.
  • All Shock/Restoration spell Sound Descriptors have been modified.
  • The ambient sound for holding these spells in your hand (not casting) has been changed to the same sound as holding a Conjuration spell.
  • Disarm no longer works.  See the FAQ as to why.
  • Compatibility edits made to make this play nicer with more mods.
  • Some Quests delayed - similar to Dawnguard/Dragonborn Delayed mods.
  • The Dragonborn quest no longer start until after you have accomplished Dragonslayer.  You can still go to Solstheim without the quest.
  • The Dawnguard quest no longer starts until level 40.  You can still go to the Dawnguard fortress before then.
  • Vampire attacks from Dawnguard do not start until level 30.


OMEGA Populated
Requirements: None
Included in: Nothing
Load Order: Sort by LOOT
Only 1 ESP

Two versions available: One ESM flagged .esp and one .esm

An AIO Mod that replaces Populated Dungeons Caves Ruins Legendary and Populated Forts Towers Places Remastered Edition. The .esm differs from the .esp file extension found in old versions of the mod. Users looking to update the mod on an active save should use the ESM flagged .esp version. The .esp version should only be used over the standard version if you are updating from an old version of the mod that has the .esp file extension.


This is intended to make the game more challenging by significantly increasing the mobs spawned throughout dungeons, forts, and camps.  While I find this incredibly fun and challenging, other users may find dungeons like Dustman's Cairn or Forts populated with OBIS to become next to impossible.  They're not impossible, just very difficult is all.  For hardcore combat mod setups it is recommended to consider dropping Populated here at OMEGA if needed and reverting to using only Populated Dungeons Caves Ruins Legendary.


OMEGA Ashara SSE Merchants and Trainers
Requirements: None
Included in: Nothing
Load Order: Sort by LOOT
Only 1 ESM

The .esm differs from the .esp file extension found in old versions of the mod, however you should still be largely safe to update.


Adds merchants who double as master trainer to most of the inns around Skyrim and Solstheim. This is intended as a convenience feature, to help those who would otherwise waste their time running around to multiple cities just to sell their loot off. Compared to the original mod, this vesion removes the rare, powerful loot that some of the vendors originally sold.

What Happened to OMEGA Classic Classes?

OMEGA Classic Classes was always a fairly modest tweaking of the original mod. While it did balance Classic Classes out enough to be used with OMEGA, there was always room for improvement. Classic Classes and Birthsigns (Reimagined) is a much more thorough overhaul of CC that entirely supercedes the tweaks made in OMEGA CC, and it contains a variety of bug fixes to boot! So if you enjoy using Classic Classes, use that mod instead.


Core OMEGA AIO Patches
Surprises or toys?!!

As I shift gears into a new design philosophy for OMEGA old things must be thrown away.  Which of course makes room for new things to be added in!  For those familiar with Skeleton Jack's old "Lite", "Complete", and "SJ's" versions of the AIO mods this new section will both feel familiar and set your minds at ease.  Welcome to the Core OMEGA AIO Patches which will save you 6 to 12 esp slots by replacing many patches with a single OMEGA MLU AIO Patch instead.
Spoiler:  
Show
For older users I just wanted to make sure you understood that the OMEGA Summermyst Patch (among others) wasn't always a part of any of the previous AIO esps.  So there is no loss of esp slots.  In fact, many will likely gain back at least 1 or 2 esp slots with this new system.

What does each Patch actually do?
Back for more eh?

Tons of patches were needed in order to get OMEGA into the right shape as many of the mods used were incompatible.  The end result is the streamlined format that you see now which offers more than 20 compatibility Patches.  But the best part is that OMEGA offers Patches that don't require MLU/SR at all.  And the MLU/SR patches offered are mostly compatible with the original MLU/SR mods without OMEGA.

Whether you're here for OMEGA, stopped by for some patches for MLU/SR, or you happened to just need one of the patches for OBIS, SIC, ME, or SRCEO...OMEGA's design is to be both modular and assist as many users as possible.

All Patches have been added to a Spoiler to save on page space.

Some of these Patches are already included in the OMEGA AIO Patches.  Check the "Included In" before installing them.

All Patches that require MLU (MorrowLoot Ultimate) or SR (Skyrim Revamped Loot and Encounter Zones) can use either the original mod (MLU/SR) or an OMEGA MLU/OMEGA SR replacement, however some consistency issues may pop up depending on the exact combination of patches.  Always match like to like, MLU with MLU and SR with SR.  

If there is a Patch here that does the same thing as a Patch elsewhere on Nexus, use the OMEGA Patch instead.  Always check the "Included in:" before installing.

Patches are listed alphabetically according to their ESP names.  To be clear, that is not always the same as the names listed here.

What Happened to the EZ Cell Name Patches?

They've Been removed! Unfortuneately they were highly prone to conflicts with other mods and generally far too much trouble to properly maintain. If you were a fan of them, don't worry! You can get the same effects without all of the compatibility issues by using the (SJG) UPF Patcher) - See the Encounter Zone level in the name of the zone, a zEdit patcher that dynamically adds encounter zone levels to cell names. If your plugin count exceeds 255, consider using the zEdit UPF Plugin Loader Generator xEdit script for the original Encounter Zone Level Name Patcher first.

What About the Other OMEGA CACO Patches?

Those of you familiar with Skeleton Jack's original collection of OMEGA CACO Patches (found here) may be wondering why only some of the patches from that page are included here. The answer is simpl: other people already made up to date versions of those patches! Links to where those up to date patches are included below.

Skyrim Skill Uncapper INIs
A much needed finishing touch to OMEGA.

Part of the process of OMEGA is to make the game much more difficult and challenging.  However that comes with it's own hurdles and issues when dealing with exp growth and leveling.  The early levels often felt too grindy, while the mid levels sped by far too quickly.  As I've worked very hard to get Skyrim into a balanced state, I had to look closely at rebalancing character growth with Skyrim Skill Uncapper.

Characters will level at approximately 65% of the vanilla leveling rate overall in a full play through when using OMEGA Skill Uncappers.  However Attribute, Perk, and Carry Weight awards are higher per level than with vanilla.  This creates a custom tailored leveling rate that allows for Skyrim to have the largest window of time to remain balanced, while also not making you feel Perk and Attribute starved.  As this is designed with Ordinator in mind, Perk Bloat issues have also been addressed.

All Uncappers have been added to a Spoiler to save on page space.
Spoiler:  
Show
These Uncappers level at roughly 200% 1-9, 100% 10-19, 50% 20-39, 65% 40-59, 80% 60-79, 100% 80-99, and 66% 100+.  You will gain more Carry Weight than you are used to, while also gaining Carry Weight from Health and Magicka (reduced values compared to Stamina awards).  It is not recommended to use Carry Weight mods with OMEGA Uncappers (exceptions like Campfire/LOTD not included).  You will also gain multiple perks at several levels. 

This is all working as intended.  Compared to vanilla leveling you end up with less total attributes/perks had you earned the same exp.  Though you will end up with more carry weight than you would in vanilla leveling.


Default Uncapper
Requirements: Skyrim Skill Uncapper
Included In: Nothing

  • Based upon Dirty Weasel Media's Ordinator Uncapper INI and modified to be optimized for OMEGA.  If you're not sure what to do, select this one. 
  • This is a straight nerf to leveling compared to Vanilla regardless of what it appears to be.
  • You are supposed to level extremely quickly 1-10, this is working as intended.
  • The Default Uncapper is roughly 65% the level rate of Vanilla for a full play through.
  • Bonus Perks are gained while leveling to make up for reduced leveling rates.
  • Bonus Attributes are gained while leveling to make up for reduced leveling rates.
  • Carry Weight scales off of all attributes, though Stamina awards more than Health or Magicka.
  • Effective skill level can go up to 125.
  • Total skill level for leveling can go up to 255 for the purposes of continuing to level your character.

  • Based upon Dirty Weasel Media's Ordinator Uncapper INI and modified to be optimized for OMEGA.
  • The same as the Default Uncapper except as follows:
  • The character level multiplier is set to 50% for all levels 20+.  This will never increase.

Class Adaptive Uncapper
Requirements: Skyrim Skill Uncapper, Any Class Mod (I recommend the OMEGA Classic Classes mod)
Included In: Nothing

  • Based upon Parapets's Adaptive Leveling - Specialized Character Development and modified to be optimized for OMEGA.
  • Levels at roughly 65% of the vanilla exp rate.  
  • Still retains the bonus Attribute, Perk, and Carry Weight growth of the Default Uncapper.
  • See the Adaptive Leveling Nexus page for more details on how this type of Uncapper works.




The OMEGA Mod Framework and Load Order

This is an example load order showcasing OMEGA.  Removing all MLU mods/patches for a SR setup should be the same mod list and load order. Please make sure you are checking the Nexus Pages of Skyrim Revamped - Loot and Encounter Zones, MorrowLoot Ultimate, and MLU Community Patches for any Patches you may want or need.

I tried to make all of the needed notes about how to sort these mods.  If I missed an instruction or a specific note, know that this is purely meant as an example. 

For those who hate Encounter Zone (EZ) mods there is a MLU Patch for Vanilla EZ's linked here that will restore all EZ's to vanilla settings.  For those who want Capped EZ's there are OMEGA Patches for that as well for users who wish to bring back a truly deleveled world.

Highly Recommended Mods
If you don't have these highly recommended mods you should really look into these ASAP.



Why these mods make OMEGA what it is.
Story time?

As a fair warning up front, the following description is very, very long. Sorry about that. It seemed the only way to adequetly describe everything.

Adding this to a spoiler to save on page space.
Spoiler:

Story time?
Yeah, it's story time...

If you look at OMEGA the first thing that should stand out is how dynamic OMEGA is.  You can take 10 different people who all use OMEGA, yet they all could have entirely different end results because of how they chose to use it.

A big part of OMEGA is choice.  Finding a way to make your mod build, your mod build.  But at the same time, there should be overlap between users because the best mods that change game mechanics are exactly that.  Thebest options available. 

OMEGA is obviously something that hundreds of hours have gone into perfecting.  So it is clearly a labor of love.  As such, your time won't be wasted on recommending "decent" or "nice" mods here.  Only the best will be recommended.

What makes a Mod the "best"?
The meat and potatoes...

If you look at EnaiSiaion, chocolatenoodle, tonycubed2, or Nightman0 you may start to notice an important pattern.  Many of their mods are all designed in such a way as to work with each other, often times even building off of each other.  That's exactly what you're looking for whentrying to find the best mods.

Either authors who are making top notch mods that are meant to work hand in hand with their own mods.  Or authors who are making mods designed from the ground up to work in tandem with other authors' mods.  

But isn't your list, your opinion, technically arbitrary?
Pouring on the gravy...

No, it's not.  These choices are made with a clear design in mind, not by personal whim.  You can easily draw correlations from decisions that went into OMEGA if you look at some of the more popular mods I am recommending.

So if you look at Ordinator, Apocalypse, MorrowLoot Ultimate, Mortal Enemies, Wildcat, Ultimate Combat, and SRCEO you can see some of the biggest and best mods right there.  High endorsements, high downloads, well known names, and easily searchable.  

While that doesn't hold true for every mod in this list, this gives you a baseline to judge from and a starting point to trust what this is telling you.  And
to further expand that trust lets bring up Ultimate Combat, Wildcat, and SRCEO.  These mods have conflicts and do many of the same things.  So the best question becomes how to resolve those conflicts?

If you look through all of OMEGA you'll be told to them in this order: WC > UC > SRCEO.  Then you'll be given instructions on how to alter UC in the MCM to turn off many of it's scaling options that would possibly have bad interactions with SRCEO.  You will be set up to use the dodging and new combat animations from UC.  Then we let WC take over anddo it's thing governing combat.  And we top it off by letting SRCEO win for it's improved combat AI over WC.

Take that one break down on how the best combat mods and enemy overhaul are made to all work in tandem like a well oiled machine.  Then keep in mind what was said before about the well known mods that were recommended that you probably already know about.  Now look at how OMEGA makes multiple mods all work in tandem with compatibility patches when they have conflicts.  

A clear pattern becomes easily recognizable.  When you start to see how every step taken in OMEGA naturally leads to the next, constantly evolving OMEGA
into a dynamic framework, always improving upon itself while remaining compatible and allowing for mods to still be swapped in and out...

All of this is what makes these mods the "best".  The intent is clear and the design is rock solid.

But mod "x" is better!!
Maybe.  Maybe not.

OMEGA is modular by design.  If you like something better as much room as possible has been left for you to make that substitution on your own.  But for the average user what is recommended is still going to be at the very least one of the best options available.

The only goal so far was to let you see that as truth.  We can't sit down and have a solid back and forth debate about all of this.  This is all to try to show you the mindset that got OMEGA here is all.

Didn't we get sidetracked here?
Yes and no.

You first needed to see where OMEGA is coming from.  Now that we've gotten your mindset re-framed we can get back to the original question.  Why these mods make OMEGA what it is.  

EnaiRim
A good opening...

Summermyst is up first which of course points towards Ordinator, Apocalypse, and Wildcat.  All mods by Enai that are used here.  Don't get me wrong, you can use more of his mods than this.  But like we already covered, we're sticking to the best.  EnaiRim really stands on it's own legs.  We dip into here for an enchantment overhaul, a perk overhaul, a spell overhaul, and a part of our combat overhaul.  This is a good first step in overhauling the game mechanics of Skyrim.

Combat
This was extremely important to me.

It doesn't matter what your definition of a combat mod is.  For our purposes here, we're discussing any mod that significantly changes the combat experience itself.  Not combat, the combat experience.

That said, the definition used here is entirely too broad.  So we'll break Combat up into a few categories just to simplify talking about everything.

Combat: The Mechanics
The more typical definition...

Combat needed to be made more difficult, but it shouldn't become an experience where you're playing on Legendary where mobs turned into damagesponges.  Combat needed to stay interesting, deadly, and fun.  To accomplish this, the 4 primary mods were looked at to accomplish this goal.  Wildcat, Ultimate Combat, SRCEO, and Mortal Enemies.

None of these mods played well with each other, often times duplicating changes in different ways.  But each one of these is arguably one of the best mods available.  As they were previously mentioned them we won't dive into them too much.  But with this combination we get realistic non-aim bot enemies from Mortal Enemies, weget new combat animations and attack styles with enemy dodging from UC, we get improved combat mechanics and damage modifers from WC, and top it all off with significantly improved enemies from SRCEO.

Let's take this moment to expand upon SRCEO. however.  Not only does it have the best enemy AI decisions in it over any other combat mod or enemy overhaul mod out there, it significantly empowers all enemies and bosses in game.  It doesn't just add perks to them, it also adds Ordinator perks if you have that mod installed.  And without even using Apocalypse the enemies already have Apoc spells baked in.  SRCEO is the best combat overhaul in Skyrim in my eyes.  And what makes it even better is how agnostic it is, working well in leveled and deleveled worlds.  

Combat: The Spawns
A less typical definition.

I mean...holy shit man!  Did Bethesda ever drop the ball on enemy spawn points in this game.  Dungeons can be a snore fest without a spawn adding mod.

So permissions were gotten from TonyCubed2 to take the Dungeons and Forts/Camps version of Populated to make a merged esp for OMEGA users.  There are of course other options such as Increased Enemy Spawns, Genesis, and Sands of Time.  But none of those options are "agnostic" and "seamless" without issues or breaking immersion.  

People say that Populated is buggy and has issues.  But never, ever, has a serious bug cropped up in these 2 mods.  While that may not be true of the rest of the Populated series, they're no the mods being recommended, are they? 

Combat: Dragons
Dragons need mods too.

There are several options available here and the recommendation for the "best" dragon mods may falter at this point as one can see multiple dragon mods appealing to many users in different ways.  However Diverse Dragons and KS Dragon Overhaul 2 are a solid plug and play option that brings Dragons to a whole new level to really improve the player experience when fighting them. 

DD really makes each new fight different while KSDO2 allows you to finally give dragons many of the stats and difficulty bumps they've always needed in your eyes.  That's the important part because KSD allows you to customize those difficulty bumps which is its best selling point honestly.

Combat: Better Experiences
You made that up!

Skyrim Immersive Creatures and OBIS truly stand on their own as two of the best mods ever made for Skyrim.  If you've never used them before then you have done yourself a serious disservice.  And while OBIS has a more narrow focus than SIC does, in tandem the two mods together revitalizes Skyrim making every encounter fresh and often timesmuch deadlier.

The big selling point on these mods in OMEGA is that they've been made compatible with OMEGA and the mods it uses like SRCEO and Mortal Enemies.  So you get the full experience of everything, all tied off with a super f'ing sweet ass bow.  The ribbon kind, not the arrow pointy kind.  :)  Then you can add in More Bandit Camps and OBIS Patrols at this point to give OBIS a bit more weight and presence in game.  A nice little extra "Oomph" if you will.

Combat: Tying it all together
You starting to go "Damn!" yet thinking about OMEGA combat?  

Taking SRCEO, OBIS, and SIC to make them work together while adding in the combat mechanic overhaul changes from WC and UC, all while improving
dragons and increasing spawn points has just redefined the entire combat experience in Skyrim.  It's honestly not even the same game anymore.  It's pretty damn awesome honestly.

At this point we're mostly done, but Armor Rating Redux (ARR) is added in here.  It just makes the armor system work better.  Bethesda honestly didn't implement the armor rating system very well.  And it would be a shame to ignore this mod when we've gone so far to improve the combat system.  And one of the best parts is that you can alter the armor cap with ARR.  So for diehards out there you can even reduce the armor cap in order to make the game even harder.

Crafting Mechanics
A good segue from combat mechanics...

These have already been touched upon by EnaiRim as Ordinator and Summermyst already impact these significantly.  But we do need to dive deeper than just that.  And Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered (CCOR) and Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) are the best options.  

CACO is your one stop shop to redefine Alchemy at its core.  Whether it's making potions take time to affect you, closing the crafting loop, or any of the many changes it makes.  CACO is a necessary part of any mod list to balance Alchemy.  And CCOR is a complex, well made mod that makes Smithing work the way it always should have.  These two mods stand on their own laurels without me going on about them though.

But the one thing Skyrim has always been missing is an answer for players who don't want to make a crafting character.  And that is where Honed Metal comes in.  So why the hell did Skeleton Jack remove it you're wondering?  Honed Metal is great for immersion and for quality of life.  However it is terrible in regards to power creep and game balance.

By including Honed Metal you are giving your character anywhere between 5-15 perks for free depending on how deeply you end up using it.  And as Uncappers can't be balanced around all of the different ways this mod will be used, ultimately it had to be pulled.  Honed Metal is awesome, but it also suffers from power creep and making your game unbalanced.

Other Core Game Mechanics
If we're this deep we might as well go all the way!

That sounds like a bad line to tell a girl.  /cringe  So we've now rebalanced a lot of the core mechanics of Skyrim.  Combat, enemies, spawn points, crafting, perks, leveling (the Uncapper section), spells, etc...  So lets just go full circle.

Economy: We look to Scarcity and Trade and Barter here.  There honestly may not be a one stop shop anywhere that answers the economy issues in Skyrim.  Even these mods don't truly fix everything.  But they cover a lot over only two downloads.

Stealth Skills: Thief Skills Rebalance for Ordinator combined with Realistic AI Detection (better sneaking) is THE answer if you were not aware.  No more of this bull shit anymore, lol.  TSRO makes some solid all around changes that are designed for Ordinator while RAID makes sneaking work the way it should really work in game.  Lite for RAID is a good entry level.  Medium is also usable, but it's rough. Any higher than that is not recommended because it's just completely unrealistic at that point.

Locks: Lock Overhaul makes dealing with locks in Skyrim...tolerable.  That's the only way to say it.  It has tons of options and makes Lockpicking interesting again.  So, good on that mod.

Training: The way this was implemented can be frustrating.  If you don't stop everything I'm doing to go back to a trainer, then you forever lose that opportunity to train 5 skill ranks just because you leveled up and didn't want to break my immersion in the game?  F'ing dumb as donkeys.  Smart Training is the perfect solution as it "saves up" your training ranks per level so you can buy them later if you wish.

Quality of Life
It's still a game.  Why can't it make my life easier too?

Take Notes comes in because you're going to stumble upon dungeons and/or bosses that you find impossible to deal with.  Take Notes adds a simple way to keep track of these locations in game without resorting to out of game solutions for this problem.

Perception and moreHUD roll in due to one of the worst issues when adding in EZ mods.  What level is the damn mob in front of me?  Perception adds in a power where you can check the level of something before you're in combat.  moreHUD actually puts the level of the mob on it's health bar in combat making it super easy to know if you just stepped into a pile of dog shit by accident.

Smart Harvest is going to be one of those mods that some people just won't like, but others can't play without it.  It comes down to two things.  The first being mining.  Mining in Skyrim is terrible.  Terrible!!  So this resolves one of the most mind numbingly annoying things in the game.  That's technically arbitrary, but meh. 

The second is that the experience of never stopping to loot in a dungeon incredible!!  Amazingly awesome!!! It  can't be emphasised enough.  Keeping up the pace, exploring and sneaking, charging forward, fighting freneticly, and reaching the boss!  You'll sink right into the game doing that.  Stopping to loot corpses just slows down the game and makes it feel less immersive.  Plus it's really fun to open your bags at the end of a dungeon to see all the stuff you found at once, kind of like opening 10 Loot Boxes at once.

The not easily categorized.
Some mods just stand apart from the rest.

SkyUI: It's amazing.  It's awesome.  And many mods require it to work.  Nuff said.

Zim's Immersive Artifacts: There are these amazing daedric artifacts and ancient items out there in the world for you to find while exploring.  Only when you finally pick them up you realize that you can craft something better.  What a f'ing jip man. 

ZIA changes all of that.  Now when you find an ancient long lost artifact you have to seriously stop and look at it.  Even consider dropping your primary skill in favor of using this new item.  The damn way it should have always been.  This covers ancient items, daedric items, aedric items, miraak items, nightingale items, thane weapons, and even some nice alternatives for people who want to use different primary skills (such as 1H or 2H versions of Dawnbreaker and Wuuthrad for example).  Again, this is one of those mods that should have just been a permanent part of the game to begin with.

Classic Classes and Birthsigns (Reimagined):  Some people miss classes.  This is a nice compromise offering the flavor of a class without messing with Skyrim's classless balance design.

OMEGA Heavy Armory:  This should be a part of every play through, and not just because this is an OMEGA mod.  Really.  It's why HA was picked to make an OMEGA version of it.  It expands the existing weapons in Skyrim offering legit alternatives that would really exist like Spears, Short Swords, Halberds, and Clubs. And this mod has been changed to Weapon AF Leveled Item lists (with anenchanted Summermyst version option) with MLU/WAF value changes.  It's a seamless and perfect addition to OMEGA.

Cell Name Patcher:  One of the worst parts of EZ mods is never knowing what you're about to walk into.  We've got Perception and moreHUD for the mob levels.  But the Cell Name Patch is what tells you the level of the dungeon before you walk in.  Because it is entirely possible to walk into a level 60 EZ
vampire den as a level 10 adventurer.  And lets be honest, that's only cool/neat/funny the first 2 or 3 times.  After the tenth time that happens you're sick of it.  So this resolves that issue.

Capped EZ Patches:  Some people prefer a truly unleveled world.  So these patches were made for you.  More power to ya.  It's recommended to keep EZs uncapped though so that at least the weakest enemies will still scale to your own level.

I feel like you missed something...
So obvious...of course we saved the best for last!! :D

MorrowLoot Ultimate and Skyrim Revamped.  Of course there's a section to speak about these separately.  

OMEGA
Do you know what that means?

OMEGA: The last letter in the greek alphabet.  Omega the word means "Great".  Typically used in references such as "The Alpha and the Omega," with Omega meaning the end.

The name OMEGA was chosen for the mod out of the hope that this should be the end of users' search for a gameplay overhaul.

OMEGA MLU/SR
Desert time!

Skyrim Revamped (SR) has the best EZ design out there and it adds in increased actor multipliers to make mobs spawn at higher levels.  And MorrowLoot Ultimate (MLU) has the best loot and weapon/armor rebalance available.  So the only obvious question to me was how to make them play together?  That's where OMEGA came from.

SR probably isn't a better alternative to MLU, but it is however far better than the vanilla loot system.  And since so much of SR and SRCEO forms a core part of the OMEGA experience I decided to support OMEGA options for players who prefer the SR style of loot/items, which is vanilla Skyrim friendly btw. 

Which is also good news for users that don't use SR or MLU and stumble upon OMEGA.  If they don't want to deep dive into everything the MLU variant offers, they can stay closer to the vanilla experience while still getting something far better from the SR variant.  Part of the dynamic and modular design of OMEGA. So everyone wins.

Finishing Thoughts
It's been a long road...

That should cover everything.  And if you actually read all of this, you're probably in a percentage of less than 5% of the people who have actually looked at this page, heh.  Hopefully that answered everything for you.  And thanks for reading.

Addendum
New toys!

Everything before this point was a coherent and steady stream of thought.  So instead of trying to go back and figure out where to best edit in new changes I've decided to add all new mod entries to the end.

Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes:  The original MLU was already based upon the LE version of this mod.  So of course we're going to include the SSE version.  MLU and OMEGA MLU were already well over 90%+ compatible/compliant with WACCF already.  OMEGA just makes the finishing touches and added the SSE mod into the framework.



Installation Instructions
Read this part for real.

  • Install Skyrim Skill Uncapper and Smart Harvest before you install OMEGA, if you want to use those mods.
  • If you have any questions regarding the installation of any mods besides OMEGA you should refer to the mod page in question.
  • The proper Load Order is already detailed in the Mod Framework section.
  • If you did not read through Mod Specific Notes and Settings then do not ask me questions about your setup.  Go read that section, then ask your questions.
  • It is highly recommended you consider resetting your game to Adept difficulty and changing it as you get used to this setup.
  • Uninstall any Patches being replaced by OMEGA (Can be done afterward as well) Some patches that OMEGA replaces share an esp name, in which case they can simply be overwritten rather than removed.
  • Install OMEGA 2.3.5 (or later version)
  • Install desired patches and run LOOT
  • Preferably run xEdit to do a conflict check and resolve any issues
  • Rebuild Bashed/Smashed Patches if using them (you should do conflict checks after this as well)
  • Doing this on an existing save runs the risk of breaking a saved game when you remove esp's depending on which plugins you remove even if OMEGA is replacing them[/spoiler]


Mod Specific Notes and Settings
Read this part for real.

  • Armor Rating Redux SE - (MCM) General: Settings: Formula: Exponential is recommended for a similar experience to vanilla Skyrim.  Select Hyperbolic if you want better resistances early game.
  • Armor Rating Redux SE - (MCM) General: Advanced: Use Floor for Exp/Hype Modes: check this on.  Make sure to set the multiplier (next step).
  • Armor Rating Redux SE - (MCM) General: Advanced: Exp/Hype Floor: set to 0.2 (not 0.02).  This caps damage resistance at 80% just like vanilla Skyrim.
  • Armor Rating Redux SE - Note that WC follows in Load Order and sets the cap to 75%.  It is not known for certain which one wins the override; however, since ARR is changing this with a script it can be pressumed  it does.  Feel free to lower the cap below 80%.
  • Smart Harvest -  (MCM) General 1: File Operation: Load INI.  Go through the settings and make changes as you see fit.  This INI is meant to speed up the process of making your settings.  However you should still fiddle with them as it leaves many items on corpses to be manually picked up still.
  • Ars Metallica - Smelting armor/weapons for ore can break balance when they come from other mods.  Some armors/weapons from other mods can give you access to specific ores far too easily and early when smelted.  It is recommended to not smelt them.
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) the "Purist" option is under General: Select Version Preset.  Use this to be more lore friendly if you want. Personally I don't use Purist.
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Advanced - Distribute NPC Potions (Off).
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Night Spawns - Start 19 PM, End 6 AM. WARNING! Night Spawns may cause crashes. If you are experiencing crashing, it is recommended you disable Night Spawns.
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Difficulty Adjustments - Assign Global Difficulty - Set this to what you are actually using (Adept, Master, etc...).
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Difficulty Adjustments - Additional Spawns - Medium. WARNING! Additional Spawns may cause crashes. If you are experiencing crashing, it is recommended you disable Additional Spawns.
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Difficulty Adjustments - Extend Damage (On).
  • Skyrim Immersive Creatures - (MCM) Feel free to modify more settings if you wish, these + Default are the recommended ones.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul 2 - (MCM) AI: Kill Move (never turn this on), Physical Effect (never turn this on), Force Landing (never turn this on).  You can mess with the other options, but these are the 3 specific ones that are reported to cause bugs in Skyrim.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul 2 - (MCM) AI: I personally recommend leaving this entire page of the MCM off (yes, everything) in order to avoid any bugs and issues this mod is reported to run into.  The OMEGA KSDO2 Patch adds back in stagger values and the normal 35% injured health %, so if you do turn them on you are doing so at your own risk when you use the OMEGA patch.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul - (MCM) Stats: Presets > Difficulty > Mighty is recommended, but feel free to raise/lower the values here.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul 2 - (MCM) Dragon Attacks: Wait (3 days), Chance (70%), Wait (72 hours), and Randomizer (24 hours).  I'm not sure of the best numbers for this yet, but this is what I'm currently testing.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul - (MCM) Soul Absorb: I left this at 1 as I don't want the mod adding more power to my character.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul - (MCM) Misc: World Cell Settings - you should leave these alone unless you know what you're doing.  FYI, this can be extremely useful if you need to reset cells for installing/uninstalling mods that require it like SIC.
  • KS Dragon Overhaul - (MCM) Misc: Unique Name Generator Settings - Enable.
  • Lock Overhaul - this has entirely too many options and player tastes are going to vary.  Go through these settings yourself and make your own decisions.
  • LOOT - it may warn you that you're missing Patches when using the OMEGA AIO's, such as the MLU-ZIM Patch or the MLU-Summermyst Patch.  Just make sure you're using versions that include the OMEGA Patches already or that you have the OMEGA Summermyst Patch installed.
  • moreHUD - (MCM) you can turn everything off if you want, we are only using this for the Show Enemy Level option.
  • OBIS - (MCM) if using OBIS you do not need to alter any MCM options.  You can play as is.
  • OBIS - (MCM) Special - You may want to turn on Spiders and Minotaurs, I did.
  • OBIS - (Install) I suggest using the Patrols Add On if you decided to use this.
  • OBIS Patrols - (MCM) this must be Enabled in the MCM.  Feel free to modify the settings and look at the Difficulty.
  • OBIS Patrols - (MCM) Enable (On), Difficulty: Tougher (Toughest is also a reasonable option), Give Potions (Off), 
  • SkyUI - (MCM) you should really be using the Equip States as they're an amazing tool.  Check the controls and turn the other 4 on if you want as well.
  • Smart Training - (MCM) Training Perk Points: turn this off unless you want bonus/free perk points.  In other words, turn it off.  
  • Smart Training - (MCM) Mod Active: check this to turn it on, but make sure to read it's warning if installed mid-game.
  • Ultimate Combat - (MCM) under General I turn off everything or set it to zero except for Player Killmove Immunity and Activate Mod
  • Ultimate Combat - (MCM) I strongly suggest you set all of the HP Scale/Multipliers to 1 as SRCEO is already modifying these creatures.  All enemy AI's and enemy dodging should be enabled (checked).
  • Wildcat - (MCM) Difficulty: Allow Wildcat to Manage Difficulty (turn this on, it's off by default)
  • Wildcat - (MCM) I have injuries turned off, YMMV.
  • Wildcat - (MCM) Disable Bow Interrupts: turn this off for non-archer runs to make enemy archers more challenging.
  • Wildcat - For Ultimate Combat I found that outside of the enemy AI changes/Dodging/New Attack Animations that most of what WC does, it does better.  UC goes below WC to win on AI, but I also turn almost all of it's options off so that it leaves WC to do its thing.
  • Skyrim Revamped - The Game Settings changes we've carried over are for fLeveledActorMult.  Easy from 0.33 to 0.6, Medium from 0.67 to 0.9, Hard from 1.0 to 1.2, Very Hard from 1.25 to 1.5.  This means mobs will be much higher level than you are used to seeing bc of both the increased Encounter Zone and the increased level multiplier.
  • Smashed Patches -  When you make a Smashed Patch you need to set "MLU.esp" to "Smash.ForceAll".  Right click on "MLU.esp" > Smash setting > Smash > Smash.ForceAll. WARNING! Using the Smash.ForceAll setting on MLU patches can result in unwanted behavior. Manual conflict resolution is advised.
  • Smashed Patches -  Make sure all mods have been added to "Smashed Patch".  You can right click on mods and add them to Smashed Patch if they are not added already.  Then hit the HAMMER, not the big green button. 
  • Smashed Patch - If you can't follow these instructions go watch a video on it first. This solves multiple issues. It can create a few problems, but it fixes far more than it creates doing this.
  • Warning - Adding in Mods that inject mobs into the game can break the MLU/SR loot balance, like how SIC and OBIS do without Patches for them.  It is better to have mods that add in additional spawn points than mobs made by the specific mod in question.  
  • Mods that just alter the stats of mobs while leaving their leveled item lists and equipment lists alone, such as Know Your Enemy (KYE), are excellent additions to OMEGA.  Or mods like Increased Enemy Spawns, which only adds additional spawn points while making no changes to the mobs themselves.
  • Make your own "Override.esp" - No matter what you do Smashed/Bashed will NOT fix everything for you.  You should learn enough about xEdit to make a new esp (I named my Override.esp) that sits at the end of your load order after Bashed/Smashed Patches.  Drag and drop changes that you knowshould be done to ensure you don't still get weird drops/items/npc values/etc...
  • The Method - As an alternative to Smashed/Bash patches for users who are concerned about imperfections in how those tools resolve conflicts, The Method is an xEdit workflow utilizing features like modgroups to allow users to manually resolve all conflicts in as little time as possible and allows easy installation and uninstallation of mods. See this guide for more info: https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/6-themethod.html



Known Issues
Read this part for real.

Armor Rating Redux
There is possibly a bug with ARR that has a weird interaction with other mods.  Being instantly killed by a bash, or instantly killing an enemy with a bash, has occurred for several players using ARR.  However resolving this issue has been done by removing other mods entirely, changing to Exponential, and changing to Hyperbolic.  The only common denominator is that this mod is being used at the same time.

It's unclear at this time whether it's actually causing the issue, but a common and simple resolution is to change the Hyperbolic setting to Exponential (or Expo to Hyper, either way).  YMMV.


FAQ

Is Smart Harvest necessary?  Is x mod necessary?
Nope.  Nor are many of the mods listed here.  It's a modular framework specifically to allow you to pick and choose mods.

My Radiant Quest sent me into the pits of hell!!  WTF man?!
Sorry.  It's one of the downsides of using Encounter Zones.  It happens.  Quests Are In Skyrim can help a bit.  It helps significantly even if it can't completely solve the problem.

Where am I supposed to go so I don't get myself killed?
Whiterun and Falkreath are the easiest areas.  Riften, Eastmarch, and Hjaalmarch are the medium areas. Winterhold, the Pale, and Haafingar are the hardest areas.  Dragonborn has EZ's that range from medium to extremely hard.  Dawnguard has some of the highest EZ's in the game.  Please refer to the Skyrim Revamped page for a full description.

Why are some mobs spawning at level 1 and 6 still?
They are static spawn points that are never modified by EZ's or multipliers.  /shrug

I went to x place and the mobs were crazy high level?!  I found a boss and he was level 90?!  Why would you do this to me?
Levels are just metrics to add abilities, loot, and stats.  Bosses like Jyrik Gauldurson are possible to kill even when the player is only level 23  Jyrik is level 90.  Combat in this setup is about skill, preparation, the right gear and enchantments, etc...  That said, it's also possible to have your ass handed to you at 30+ by a level 70 boss.  You may have to give up and leave the dungeon.  It's about what you're bringing to the table versus specific problems.  It's far less about the levels themselves.  

Why did you break Disarm?
Ignoring all of the problems Disarm already has, such as items falling through the world, this ultimately came down to Key Binds.  When your weapons are disarmed they are deleted from your Favorites/Key Binds/Equip States.  So every single time this happens you have to redo your Favorites,  Key Binds, and Equip States.  Sorry, but no f'ing way.  Disarm got deleted, and good ridance.  That is terrible, awful, shite game design on Bethesda's part.

Encounter Zones are bull shit!!
They really aren't.  The worst aspect of EZ's is that they do funnel you down more limited paths and Skyrim stops being an open sandbox.  But considering how much they add to the game in this setup it's a trade off that more than makes up for itself.  The Uncapper INIs are specifically designed to get you "out there" and away from Falkreath and Whiterun incredibly fast.  If you can get used to the idea of Skyrim as a world that that would make sense in a movie/novel and accept the idea that youhave to level up for content then it's honestly no longer even an issue.

How do mobs get spawned at the level they're at?
This is not simple, but Skeleton Jack did make a post fully explaining how this works.  [SJG] PSA: How Encounter Zones, fLeveledActorMult, Leveled NPC, and Non-Player Character (Actor) all interact/work to determine the level of mobs you run into in dungeons. 

The game is too hard now!!  What the hell?!
Difficulty settings mean nothing in practice.  Go play Legendary with Vanilla and then come play Adept with OMEGA.  Seriously, an Adept OMEGA play through is going to be much more difficult by far.  Set the game to a lower setting than Adept.  It doesn't matter what the setting says bc it was made for Vanilla and not for OMEGA.  There's nothing wrong with lowering that setting.  Also, we installed Wildcat.  You can go into Wildcat and change the damage dealt/taken multipliers to tailor the base damage system to your personal needs.

The game is too easy.  I thought this was going to be serious bizness?!
As previously stated, this is a starting point.  The framework of your Skyrim build! Feel free to add in other things like Increased Enemy Spawns or Ultimate Deadly Encounters (Sands of Time).  You can custom tailor OMEGA to be far more than it already is.  Don't forget about changing the Damage Dealt/Damage Taken settings in Wildcat to custom tailor your experience.  That's a big part of why we're using Wildcat.

OMEGA is still too easy!
Did you check your load order?  Did you check for conflicts in xEdit?  Usually users having mods override what OMEGA is doing ends up being the most common culprit here.

I don't see TK Dodge in this list...
Enemies dodging the players attacks can be fun, but it isn't always enjoyable to dodgeenemy attacks yourself.  It can trivialize too much content and makes the game significantly easier.  YMMV and feel free to use it.

What about Know Your Enemy or True Armor?
These mods work very well with OMEGA, so enjoy if they suit you! They are by no means hard requirements however, and some users may not enjoy the "rock, paper, scissors" element of these mods.

What about High Level Enemies?
This mod should work in this setup if you'd like to add it.  But it is recommended you try this setup first without it just in case it ends up adding too much to your game.  As a caveat it adds new mobs in.  Though it is friendly to MLU loot lists, you are likely to get a wide range of inconsistent enemy behavior because of SRCEO not modifying these new mobs.  So that may end up feeling bad.  One of the additional encounter mods or altering the difficulty setting in Wildcat is more likely a better option.

What about Advanced Adversary Encounters?
This is not compatible with SRCEO as they are both enemy overhauls.  AAE has been considered several times and overall SRCEO has been found to offer more to the player than AAE does.  Add in that AAE ignores EZ's entirely and that SRCEO is designed from the ground up to work with Ordinator, Apocalypse, and Skyrim Revamped...  SRCEO clearly rises to the top of the list for a multitude of reasons.  That said AAE does offer some specific niche things SRCEO doesn't do if that's really your thing.

What about Revenge of the Enemies?
This is not compatible with SRCEO as they are both enemy overhauls.  Just like with AAE (read one up), SRCEO seems to bring more to the table.  If you simply refuse to use SRCEO then I'd look at AAE if you don't mind giving up EZ's and RotE if you absolutely did not want to give up EZ's.

Why are you refering to EverWatch as Skeleton Jack?
EverWatch is an old account name Skeleton Jack no longer uses. He goes by Skeleton Jack in most cases now.  He's also SkeletonJack_ on Reddit.

So then SJG means?
Skeleton Jack Gaming.  It's a tag to make Skeleton Jack's work more easily recognizable across several platforms and usernames.  That's all.

Give your favorite mod authors the love they deserve!

"I spent somewhere around 300+ hours over 5 months working on this project.  Research, tutorials, digging through other people's mods,
youtube videos, experimenting, play testing mod interactions and leveling rates, learning how to use xEdit properly, fomod creation, manual data entry...  And before I did all of this I never truly understood the level of work and dedication mod authors invest into whatis for us just a click to download on a mod page.

OMEGA would not exist without the painstaking, arduous, and brilliant work put forth by some of the best mod authors on Nexus.  Please go back and revisit all of the mods you downloaded, got a patch for, or an AIO replacement for.  Consider giving those mods an Endorsement (and/or those authors a Kudos).  They deserve it."
