Oldrim Mod (Desperate Plea for Help /s)

[Luridum]

I'm trying to get this oldrim mod functioning: Automatic Variants.

The issue is that there's already a port, found here: Automatic Variants SSE that doesn't function correctly. I suspect that it wasn't ported properly, however I don't want to point fingers at the author.

It claims that it should function properly (form 44 plugins, load plugins correctly), but it just seems to be a copy-paste of the original files, so I'm unsure of how it could have these new functions (hopefully the author can correct me on this). Also, in practice it doesn't produce form 44 plugins.

I'm also having an issue when the textures are moved from the SkyProc folder to the textures folder, where the program copies the ENTIRE filetree.

And the scripts have a lot of things in quotation marks, and I think it may be a function that was removed from Papyrus at some point, but I'm not sure.

 

Since the port isn't official, there isn't a whole lot of documentation besides in the comments. However the comments appear to be about as informed as me. The official documentation was actually really helpful, but it didn't solve all of my issues, detailed above. It also doesn't help that I don't know what a working installation would even look like since I didn't know about this until today.

 

Another viable solution is to learn how to create Synthesis patchers and remake it from scratch myself, but I would like to fix the original for SE rather than create my own for simplicity's sake.
