What the title said, basically. I've been wanting to try this one for a while, but it seems as though most of the threads on this forum seem to be cries for help from people who can't get the romance to progress due to such and such not happening or other odd bugs.
Basically, I want to know how easy is it to get the Nathaniel working as intended, and are there any things I should be wary of (eg other clashing mods I should avoid for this runthrough, etc).
I've had some of the trickier mods like Longer Road and Edwin work just fine, and I suspect it's because I generally don't run with too many mods at once (usually just Ascension, a few select parts of UB, and maybe one or two NPC mods or other minor things).
Cheers in advance.

Well, I have a buggy game but Nathaniel seems to be working just fine, it's other mods that are more a problem (so far, touches wood). The current build seems to be fairly stable. To be honest most builds of Nathaniel have been stable bar one or two annoying minor bugs (last I had was a stutter bug around Anomen due to a script misfiring). I've had one or two others that were solved by reloading and a few string errors (fixed by the 'k' button), so I'd say it should be fairly easy. Just don't rush through the game too quickly I guess.

I've never had any problems with any version of Nathaniel, in all honesty. :)

well its the people mostly, which are downloading like 2giga of mods and then throwing them all at once into one game without any real sense. then they rush here whining "whaaaaaaa your mod(s) doesnt work waaaaaaaah"....

Mmm I thought it was something like that.
He's working OK so far but I have had a couple of "missing string" flirts (after which all the PIDs are missing string too). Reloading from an earlier save seems to fix that, though, so I can live with it. I'm only running with Ascension and a couple of things from UB so it should be pretty stable.

Let me know if you encounter trouble--if there's anything major I'll contact Miss S and see what we can do about it. :)

to fix the missing string - select Nathaniel and hit 'k'. That should fix it.

No problems with the latest version of Nathaniel for me, and I have a heap load of mods installed, so I think you'll be fine. The only issues I've noticed are minor, like repeating dialogue with certain NPCs. None that affect Nathaniel's main story arc with the PC though.

Yup he worked absolutely fine for me too - even got the epilogue, which I wasn't sure I'd see owing to some posts about that issue (I guess that's been fixed, then!) I got what I guess was the good ending, anyway.
