INTRO:

I really like the Better Vampire Lord Transformation mod. It makes your vamp lord look like your female character, with a few armor and wing options. (I prefer the winged cbbe/unp option) - I also really like Grimoas Vampire Lord mod, which just changes the wings to look like bat wings (adds webbing). The bat wings look very impressive when used with Larger Vampire Lord Wings, obviously making them bigger and more impressive!

 

Explination:

I have been switching back and fourth with these mods for the past week or so because I really like them both, but they aren't compatible. I've tried loading them both, changing load orders, even swapping and exchanging the models that come with them, but I cannot seem to get them to work together.

I have very minor modding experience... I used to do a lot of re-textures and model replacements for Morrowind years ago when it was popular, but that is about the extent of my abilities. I'm great with photoshop (I use it for a living) but when it comes to the creation kit and all of these custom models, skeletons, and linking it all together... I'm lost in the woods. I'm sure with anough time and effort I could learn everything I need to know to make this work, but I would much rather spend that time playing the game!

 

Now I know from personal experience that some people out there bust balls to make mods for people they don't know, just out of the kindness of their hearts. Whether it's simple edits or even tough changes that require them to learn things outside of their current arsenal of skills. - For those modders, I'm willing to offer a reasonable donation to have this mod made. If you think you are up to the task and can make this work, simply post here and let me know. Before you begin, let me know what you expect and just how difficult you believe this might be. - I have no problem discussing donations so long as it's reasonable. :-)

 

Recap:

In short, this is what I want:

http://skyrim.nexusm...m/mods/25321//? - Winged CBBE/UNP option +

http://skyrim.nexusm...m/mods/29085//? - The webbed/bat wings +

http://skyrim.nexusm...m/mods/37177//? - These larger-sized wings.

 

***Be aware that I use the UNP Skinny mod* and I am currently playing a Dark Elf (female of course)

Basically from the way those mods work, I think, all you need to do is install the first mod, look at it's folder structure and where it stores its models. Download the second and third mods manually, open them up and find the wing meshes and textures, then apply them to over the folder structure from the mod you already downloaded. Since mod 2 & 3 work together, it would seem plausible that the wings are separate meshes and this should be an easy enough thing to do yourself.

 

It's not much different from making a custom morrowind retexture, you just have to identify the meshes and textures and plop them in the right places.

Grimoas and larger vampire wing are already compatible.

I recommend this mod: Grimoa's vampire lord "

That's what I originally thought. Unfortunately, after taking a look at some of the elements of the mods it appears that the wings for Better Vampire Lord Trans removes the wings from the character model, and applies it to the armor (still unsure, but tinkering with the character model showed no wings unlike the original model). And taking a look at Grimoa's revealed the original vamp lord model with the added webbings. I just need to figure out how to move that webbing (along with it's texture) into the wings that are on the armor for the other mod.

I'm aware that the larger wings are already compatible, that's how I use it as is. But when I started using the mod that changes my vamp lord to look like my character, I really miss the webbing in the wings. That's all I want added into it. If I can't also get the wings to be larger, I'll just have to live with it. ~ This is why I created this thread, I am aware that the 2 main mods I want merged are not compatible... I'm looking for someone capable to find a work-around or just remake the wings attached to the existing armor.
