That's not the case. Body doesn't change its scale. The problem is them HANDS and only hands tend to grow huge as compared to the body. And I am talking of no furniture, I am talking of animobject idle animation. For example NPC is playing cheer up animation with a tankard in her right hand and waving with the left one (you know that piece of animation which looks so clumsy when performed by female character). While she's at it both her hands are twice as big as when she's standing still or just walking around.
I think the problem is about the hands size being brought to accordance with the anim object, which is the tankard in this case. But I may be wrong.
But, guys it has nothing to do with furniture or rescaling the whole NPC.
I never noticed that happening in my game (yet ;) ), wish I could be more help but I don't have a clue to why. good luck on finding an answer :)

For example while the female NPC is playing animobjectcheers idle or any drink and eat idle their hands grow significantly big. Why? And how that can be helped?
I have checked both FNIS's GENDER specific animations and SKELETON arm fix. As I can see they don't solve the issue.
So, I would like to find the solution, mayhaps already on the Nexus.
SIZE DOES MATTER - NPCs do not rescale shrink resize - less camera restrictions

I haven't used that mod in ages and I don't know if it's on Skyrim SE but I do believe at one time this was the go to mod for the kind of issue you mentioned.

What does that 'Mod evolution explained by the Author' mean?
Its just a first idea of a name, maybe there will be a more handsome name for it.
It should be a space where the Author can write all about the development of his mod, from the start of the idea, what knowledge he had before, what he did to realize the mod, especially the fails and dead ends, and finally how he got the mod done. This can be in short words, or very detailed, just as the author wants to do it. Of course, detailed promises to be more interesting :smile:
It is based on following thoughts:
1) When a mod is published, no one but the mod author can really appreciate how much work and time was put in the mod, especially the testing and the fails and dead ends. This gives the users of the mod the opportunity to appreciate the real work that was put into the mod.
2) If a modder describes how he approached his mod, other modders can learn and produce better mods with this knowledge, and maybe non modding users will get interested to make mods themselves.
3) Of course no modder should be forced to do this, if he want to keep his ideas or tricks secret its ok, everyone as he wants.
4) Where should this "mod evolution" appear? There are different possibilities, maybe in a spoiler at the end of mod description, or in an extra tab, or whatever.
With this post I want to ask modders and non modders (=mod users) if this is an interesting option, and if it makes sense to think further about this.
I am looking forward to your comments :smile:
oh boy... the evolution of double D breast followers by Asherz. I'm not sure if it will be a tragedy or comedy. :laugh:

In response to post #72644203.are you not smart enough to make your own load order or do you need someone else to do that for you in a mod pack? There is no such thing as a perfect load order, so mod packs will just be someone else problems that will now be your problems on your computer and in your game.1ae0bfb8 wrote:

well that's a paradigm shifting post and no mistake. thanks for that.
Most people don't like Vortex and many don't like that the Nexus is constantly pushing it on their users. -
In response to post #72643898.from the response i seen of people who tried Vortex within the groups are all pretty much the same which is that it "seems great at first but quickly becomes awkward, clunky and not flexible.1ae0bfb8 wrote:

from what i can make out, you ran a poll, no idea what the poll was about, but you ran it, and some people use vortex and some people don't? is that it?
deploy mods
One of the things users hated the most was the constant deployment of mods which you need to wait for after each small edit within Vortex.
With that said there are a few that spoke good things about Vortex but it's very few and far in-between. -

"deploying mods"hi, can you tell me, briefly, what is the point you're trying to make, because that just seems to be a stream of conciousness with no start, no middle and no end.

I've seen and reported mods that are used solely to spread propaganda..
These mod authors are using this platform to attack the left and spread propaganda and so far the Nexus has been silent on it..
One mod author in particular even has mods where you train to assassinate US democratic leaders right here on the Nexus.
The new Trump mod comments are filled with attacks on people that share a different ideology, so much so that a moderator locked the comments. That alone should be enough evidence that the mod does not belong on the website. By allowing it, the Nexus is opening the door to spread hatred against a large number of their subscribers.
Social media heavy weights such as Facebook, Twitter, youtube etc.. have taken assertive steps in removing such content from there websites, i'm curious if the Nexus will do the same?
-
This is the second time I tried to block someone from one of my mod pages and they are still able to post comments.
Not sure what's going on with it but I figured I should at least report the issue somewhere..
anyway thanks in advance for any replies.
EDIT: My apologies, wrong forum

In response to post #67847336. #67848426, #67881576 are all replies on the same post.considering your contributions to the mod community, i would say you're one of the last people who should feel bad about earning dp.

is there a limit on how many new mods a person can publish in one day?
the new file section for the Skyrim site just looks like spam between the same few mod authors which in turn is not giving any other mod authors a chance to have their work seen.
Isn't there some sort of rules about this?

I don't like the word 'prospective', smells of hard work...Kriemen wrote: I absolutely love hard work. I can just sit and watch it for hours... :DNMC wrote: Haha, I enjoyed that!
But on a serious note, a concern of mine is the licensing for the photo reference I use in my texture mods- they typically indicate that they are only for use in non-profit, non-commercial personal projects. So I have a nagging concern that this may automatically preclude me from opting in, as this may breach those terms... although I'm not sure opting into this DP system and releasing work would or could ever be viewed as 'making a profit' or a 'commercial venture' as these are indirect voluntary donations, not direct payments... but that said, Nexus would provide payment in a way.... the more downloads, the greater the share, and some of it from their own funds....
So I wouldn't want to just take a chance and hope for the best without a second opinion. Having no legal knowledge to speak of, it's a point of uncertainty that would be good to have cleared up and at least give me the option, as those t&c's can be worrisome to the uninitiated and uninformed like myself... I do suspect it depends on the person/website applying those original terms on how strictly they are upheld and applied though, and I doubt anyone would be hunted down over the price of a sandwich, ethical considerations aside for the moment.Kriemen wrote: Writing this whilst waiting for the first coffee of the day to kick in. Hope it makes sense. For me, the main considerations are...
Is opting into the DP system actually considered as commercial income? Is accepting a donation from a mod user considered as commercial income? To me they are quite similar. Except that some could consider the Nexus as being a commercial entity. If so, does that have any impact on things?
If the answer to any of the above is yes, then does any of this contravene the original Game usage agreements? I'm sure the Nexus team and their legal people have looked into all of that. Personally, I feel that that the odd small donation or “cashing in” a few DPs here and there does not constitute a commercial quantity.
These are permissions from a random mod.
“Asset use permission in mods/files that are being sold You are not allowed to use assets from this file in any mods/files that are being sold, for money, on Steam Workshop or other platforms”
“Asset use permission in mods/files that earn donation points You are allowed to earn Donation Points for your mods if they use my assets”
I read this as “DO NOT sell my hard work”, but “Earning a few DPs” my my hard work is quite OK. I feel the same about my work. So, one can infer from this that the DP system is not considered as commercial income. Admittedly, the DP permission has been enabled by default. Perhaps it should have been set to an “undecided” state and mod authors encouraged to review their permissions. But, that's already been discussed and is being looked into.
As for resource usage, that's another consideration. I'd encourage people to double check usage permissions for everything their mods use and also encourage fellow mod authors to review their own mod permissions. Keep in mind that some permissions may change as authors make a final decision. Permissions for my mods may do the same, depending on others resource permissions. (Managed to get the word permissions into this paragraph 6 times... :) )
Do the same for any external resources. I've got quite a few resources from other sites that I need to check up on. My resource library is over 1.5GB and growing. So that's a lot of mods yet to be checked. Will authors from other sites agree to their work earning us DPs? Are we all worrying about nothing? Who knows?
Personally, I'm rewarded enough just to see people enjoying my work, sharing their pics and giving feedback. It encourages me to try to become a better modder. Been modding since the early 80's and am still learning... (At least I don't have to do everything via a Hex Editor any more...) I've only opted in 2 mods that use vanilla resources. At this stage, I just don't feel right opting in any others. In the meantime, I'll just wait, watch and see how it all works out.NMC wrote: You made some very good points, thanks for the new perspective and insight... and I too am likely to sit back and wait to see how things pan out all things considered. That's more pragmatism than pessimism, as I use too many external resources to take a risk. But the optimist in me would hope the following is true:
*The 'Donation' itself could be seen solely as reward for the 'hard work' the modder themselves applied in making the mod, and NOT payment for the content of that mod.
* So, the donation is simply an appreciation shown to the modder, who did not make it a mandatory financial agreement- ie., pay me or no mod.
* The modder used those assets with the mod itself viewed and considered as a personal project.
* And in making that mod, there was no certainty or expectation of gaining any financial return whatsoever, it was released as a personal project.
But all that said, I'm not sure I want to volunteer to be the first canary down the mine and so I'll err on the side of caution for now. As you said, I also find reward in positive feedback and the sense of achievement and self development in itself, or I would have quit long ago.
PS., I too was there in the 80's, tinkering with Z80 assembly language, and making homemade adventure games in Basic with a few graphics thrown in- (my first ever graphics!) It never really leaves you ;)Kriemen wrote: I'm a bit like my cat. I too, tend to sit quietly and observe before pouncing. Hope it all works out well.
"tinkering with Z80 assembly language"
That would be an interesting topic for the forums, if it doesn't already exist. For me it was a TRS-80 running CP/M and extended color basic on a Zilog Z80 cpu. We could only dream of doing what we do now... :) -
Where's the page with the ladders to see who is earning points?

In response to post #60323101. #60323591, #60323716, #60325346, #60329741, #60332106 are all replies on the same post.there ain't nobody going to make money from your assets.. or anyone's assets.. there would only be a few people that receive money from this and those that support this DP system have Stockholm syndrome. The Nexus has always been about parlor modders and this donation system is only going to cause more fighting within the community.. But I guess the Nexus believes in divide and conquer so they can keep all the control for themselves and own financial gains. .mrjack900 wrote: So the onus is on mod authors (or in my case, former mod author) who have generously allowed their work to be used in other mods, to search the site to find out which ones have opted into the DP system and then report the mods making money from our work.
I wish I never gave open permission for my work with the caveats of credit given and no money made because the one time I had to report another modder for using my assets without credit, I was ignored repeatedly by Nexus staff and specifically your community manager. The whole ordeal was a nightmare for me and I ended up taking my mods off the Nexus because of it. Obviously 300 000 downloads is chump change to you guys.
And NOW I have to go looking for more modders making money off my art work and go through the whole stressful and ineffectual process again?
Will we even be able to see if a mod author has opted the mod into the DP system or will it be up to us to contact every author? Because that worked out so well for me last time...

That means anyone can use my mod to profit, but they'll also need to allow everyone else the same freedom. This will keep all gold diggers away because gold diggers don't want to allow anyone else access to their gold ;)
On the other hand, I have no problem with the Nexus giving money to some authors, especially those who are in really dire financial straights.Lordkabal26 wrote: Hopefully Nexus realizes that they may need to introduce a percentage split option for mods that make use of other mods.

I prefer an open & free, dedicated platform like the Nexus where I get to download tons of mods for free and get a ton of exposure on my own which I mainly upload to contribute to the community, while not worrying too much about missing out on appropriate "credit" here and there or a couple of cents lost through 'stolen' DP. -

So how much does Vortex cost? I'm guessing some features are locked unless you're a premium subscriber? I been reading the "the new EU GDPR rules" and I don't see anything that would reflect a breach in regulation by how the nexus Handler is set up now..
-
So I got a 7 day banned on Facebook for sharing a link to a mod on the Nexus. I didn't see the image myself but the link supposedly added an image with nudity.
I know on the old site when a mod page was marked as adult content no images will be shared when link sharing. Is it still the same or is that feature now broken or discontinued with the new site?
This was posted in the wrong forum, plz remove.. thanks..
-
seems like more time went into this to develop a tool to sell premium accounts rather then being useful to manage mods.. MO is much more useful and all around better in every single possible way.. So using Vortex is pointless.

Each unique download of a participating mod is a vote cast for that mod. That's not a policy that would drive this American user away.
Furthermore, who comprises "this elite group of modders" of whom you speak? Am I supposed to exercise your ability to "read in between the lines" and discover that Nexus is in cahoots with a core group of favored mod authors on whom Dark0ne wishes to shower gifts? This, of course, is nonsense, because Nexus doesn't decide who participates in the Mod Author Donation Program. The individual mod author decides that for her/himself.
Can we stop calling it collections?
in Vortex Support

Collections is such an ugly word here in the states, it ranks up there with the words Parking Authority when used together.
Most Americans don't run to collections, they run from it.
Example today in the mail I received a "collection" notice ordering me to pay over 120 thousand dollars for a one-night stay at a hospital 3 years ago.
Not that I have that kind of money so I always live under the threat of collections putting a lien on my home or garnish my wages. The word collections is evil so it kinda bums me out to see it in my "escape from reality time"
Other than that tho, love the addition of collections, it made modding fun again but yea still hate the name and despite my bat poop crazy moments, i'm sure i'm not the only one hating the name. :)
