I noticed. and Lost longswords does not function when merged. it adds doubles and makes them weaker when in conjunction with skyre.

That mod is included with SkyRe I believe.

i have a question for you: i just merged the apachiiskyhairfull + skyfemale + skymale. these original plugins are at the top of my load order right under falskaar. the merged plugin was all the way at the bottom and i had to manually move back to the top but i can't move it as high as the original files were. has that been a problem for you?

Just the sky hairs in the merge are fine anywhere in the load order. if you have any patches for putting them on npcs or so on you should merge those patches into it as well however otherwise it will freak because it can't "find" the apachii hair. Or load it after it. better to merge it.

[Frostelis]

Hello. I have merged around 80 mods (armour/weapons none that alter leveld lists) in success. But I have no idea where I could ask this question so I will try here. I am running low on mod space again and decided to merge about 30 companion/follower mods (they don't use scripts or only use one or two scripts). I did the usual procedure, but when I checked in game they had either purple hair/potato faces/dark face/no faces and the like. What am I doing wrong ? Any particular tutorial to merge follower mods? I searched google and found none. Everybody keeps mentioning this CK (creation Kit) do I need it for follower merging ? I merged the armours and weapons just fine without doing anything like that.

 

Thanks in advance and ignore this pitiful plea for help if I posted it in the wrong place.

[Sukid]

Frostelis, are you positive you extracted the BSAs for those follower mods? If you did, then it might have merged in something that conflicted due to an ITM record or something.

I went through a lot of nonsense trying to figure out the voice acting issue. Basically, the plugin can't find any voiced line content when the mods are merged together, and I can't figure out why. At first I thought it was a naming issue, because I had renamed the plugins before merging, but that's not the case anymore. I re-downloaded the mods and used the original plugins to make a new merged plugin, with the same result. Whether the files are loose, in a new BSA, or whatever, the merged plugin can't find the voices.

 

Oddly, when I was done merging a weird bunch of empty directories appeared in MO's Overwrite. Here is a screenshot of its structure:

 

 

It certainly seems relevant to voice data, but I don't understand how. Suspect that I would be able to make a working merged plugin out of either just the "Places" mods, or those and the quests with no voiced assets.

 

What follows are my initial comments on trying to figure the sound thing out:

 

Spoiler

When I was finished, I repackaged the various assests into a new BSA, but I'm not sure if it's working. When I tested it out briefly, the quest-related NPC had no voice acting, although the mod description said that the mod is voiced. Will try it out with loose files.

Edit to add: Talking to the same NPC when I just load the original mod and its assets has the same result: no voiced dialog for the interaction. Maybe not all lines are actually voiced; regardless the issue is not the merge or the repackaging.

More: Checking TES5Edit, the dialog topic records have no sound associated with what should be voiced lines, but those lines absolutely do have .wav files in the assets, I can play and hear them if I open the files directly. No clue what is going on with that. Anyway, this is the original plugin, none of this is relevant to merging.

More: Huh, turns out the the actual file name of the .esp is pretty important, since testing with newly installed mod files shows that (1) in their pristine state, the voice acting works, but (2) after changing the file name, it gets all messed up. Welp!

Mod names: SPERG (This mod provides all the above plugins as extensions and options)
Scripts: Yes
BSAs: Yes
Result: Merge process completed, mod seems to work in game.
Other notes: SPERG does a lot of stuff which I just did not have time to test all of. However, a few simulated level ups showed basic functions of the mod working as expected, and the MCM could be used without issue. The main point of this merge was a version of the mod with all its added perks left out, which this accomplished.

Mod names: Arrows and Bolts Tweaks
Scripts: Yes, in the BSA
BSAs: The BSA had just 2 scripts inside it.
Result: All4 plugins merged, seemingly without errors, I played two long sessions with no problem whatsoever.
Other notes:  The 3 first plugins were palced near the top of my load order before (19-23 placing), while the last was a lot lower at position 110.

LOOT seems to think it should indeed be placed low, and that's how I did my tests. I'll also try puting it near the top again, to see how things go and update this post.
