      Hello gamerpoets, I have recently been enjoying some Wabajak model list, and was wondering if this is something that you would consider posting for your community once your Skyrim modeling my way has been completed. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work. I’ve been enjoying your channel since the day I found it.

      Hey Poet!!!! I'm so glad to be writing you right now!!! You are awesome! I do have a quick question for you. With the xedit sent to overwrite, is it safe for me to throw the xedit backup into the xedit cache folder? I noticed it didn't do it automatically like it did the cache. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't circumventing all my hard work. Thanks.

      Hmmm...
      It seems that MO2.5beta and/or Starfield aren't jiving with this.
      For example, I tried to install "More Ships" from Nexus, which has a direct MO download button.
      "No valid game data" and nothing in overwrite when following these steps?

    "This is why you don't install 100 mods at once.." I feel called out 🤣❤
    I never thought about doing it this way. I've always did the 100 mods at once thing, then just sorta.. bundled up all the loose crap in the Overwrite folder into one big ol' mod and threw it at the bottom of the load order. I never knew MO actually kept track of the stuff!

    I don't know if I've ever commented on one of your videos before, but just a heartfelt thank you for really high quality tutorials. For years I've referenced one of your DynDOLOD setup videos whenever finalized my load order to start a playthrough and it's been invaluable.
    I just got back to modding and have decided to stop using Vortex and start using Mod Organizer 2 instead; I was going to use your MO2 setup tutorial but I saw you've marked it archived. I'll probably still watch it but I'll keep your notice in mind. I look forward to more tutorials from you. Thanks again for helping make a complex process easier to understand.

      @@gamerpoets not sure you have the time to help. but im running into a very strange issue. Im not sure if its something that I have done or because the F4SE is messed up. Ive modded Skyrim for years, not a pro but far from a novice, mainly from you videos helping dramatically. So heres the issue. No mods installed in MO2 and just F4SE in my Fallout 4 folder, as Ive always done, soon as I load the F4SE launcher from MO2 I get the message -- You are using a newer version of Fallout than this version of F4SE supports. Then it puts the files except for the data files into the Overwrite folder in a Root folder. Ive tried creating that into a mod but dont work. Now matter what i try Its removing the F4SE files and putting them in overwrite. I know something is funny because i tried to load all this into an older game and just drop the new F4SE into that game file, But again it pulls the new files out of the folder...except for the Data files and puts them in overwrite. Although then it would replace the newer F4SE with the previous installed ones. I have tried to leave it be and manually install as normal, used MO2 to load creation kit and dlc into mods by zipping them and loading them that way. Im looking into all your videos about INI tweaks and what files need to be Read ONly because i may have messed something up trying to get the new F4SE to work with other tutorials that were out of my skill level and just dont remember which ones i messed with. Thanks for taking the time to read this and keep up the good work sir.
