00VileRoses00 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hello! I am completely new to porting, but essentially the vanilla Skyrim SE males aren't cutting it to my beautiful ladies. No wonder there's an argument on whose hotter in Riverwood, both of the male contenders look aged. Poor things! Yes, Skyrim men probably were not gods of skincare routine, if we go completely lore-based, but I blame all those fantasy lore movies and books that seem to star Orlando Bloom or someone like him! Besides, how many of us like are females to look beautiful? Men should look good, too. So, I tried porting Males of Skyrim from Oldrim to SE! Easy? I thought, but I do not know what I am doing. Essentially, here's what I did: 1. Download loose files of Males of Skyrim into vortex2. Load the .esp into Creation Kit. I was told to ignore all warnings, so I did. 3. Put the entire thing through CAO with the recommended settings on their site.4. Installed in vortex.Andddd...I got black-faced males hanging around throughout Skyrim. Definitely not the vibe I was going for as 1. I am not racist, so I do not like my men looking like they are practicing minstrel shows or something 2. It just looks weird. If I need to post screenshots of errors and such, I will. It was just an epic fail. Have mercy on your friendly PC gaming noob, as I have owned consoles all my life and lived in ignorance for 20 years (because I obviously would not be able to mod at birth, duh). Thanks. I also am tired from finals week at college. I am blaming that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylbill Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Here's a guide on how to port mods from LE to SE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17990/ You also might need export facegen data: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76613/ another thing to try is to run the nifs in the meshes folder from the mod through SSE nif optimizer https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4089?tab=files Hope that helps.

00VileRoses00 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 I have read that guide before, but I used the update "This is obsolete, use this instead" version. I guess I could try the old version??? I will try the facegen. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
