Hello, I am working on a small mod and would like to incorporate the animations from another mod into my own. The permission is granted, but I'm curious about how to actually add them to my own mod. They are hkx files, nestled in a folder pointing to the proper place. Do I just zip the premade folder along with my esp? Thank you for any help given.

Hi, have a quick question I'm hoping someone can answer. When I'm creating a Fomod installer that has patching options, what is the etiquette on including the mod that I am patching's information or preview picture?

Are the snow shaders in Skyrim jacked up? :D

The reason I think it needs to be outside ofthe game is there seems to be no setting for containers like there is for statics directly in the CK.

Thanks Frank. I'm getting closer. I think my problem is I'm not looking for a barrel specific texture. After reading up a bunch, and messing around in the CK, it looks like I need to find out how to attach find and attach the games snow shader to the mesh outside of the game and save it like that. Getting closer though. I'm hoping it's just a setting somewhere in Nifskope, can't find a definitive answer anywhere yet.

Thank you for answering, I really appreciate it! I thought that as well, but it's not to be found. I've also read that sometimes the textures are embedded in the nifs so I used Nifskope to try to find it with no luck. I even went in-game opened the console and found the item ID, also into the Creation kit as well, and found it in Tes5edit, but cannot find it anywhere else.

Hello, novice modder here, I've run into a strange problem. I'm hand replacing some static items in the game, at the moment barrels. I used Nifskope to convert the mesh and texture of Barrel02Static to the same thing but function as a container. The nif is: Barrel02.nif Using the path Data/Meshes/Clutter/ The problem I'm having is there are two variations of this barrel that appear to use different textures. They use the same mesh it seems, Barrel02.nif. They are called: Barrel02Static_HeavySN Barrel02Static_LightSN I have looked and looked but not found where the texture for these items are. I also can't find a way to export them directly and, as I said, they simply appear to be a re-skin of the Barrel02Static. I'd really appreciate some help on this, been beating my head off the keyboard trying to figure it out, searches haven't turned up anything, though that may be due to the fact that I'm not quite sure how to word it. Appreciate it! EDIT: Some more information. I've also unpacked every bsa for the base game and all dlc's so I could search easier. No luck.

They've been combined, they work as well as the ther patches Every once in a while you may run into a mod that hasn't been updated in a while, but is still good, that has the older patches listed as a master. This is easy to fix with the Tes5edit program though. You don't even need the older patches; yourename and zip a spare esp you have laying around to do it. Just look it up if you run into it. :)

Many of these are good is still, see the STEP link I posted just a little bit down the page. I'm just getting back into modding myself but I can recommend from your list: Frostfall Wet and Cold Campfire iNeed Hunterborn Cloaks of Skyrim Simply Knock by Chesko These ones all work excellently together, giving you a much more immersive, survival based experience. Make sure you check, I think iNeed might need some patchesbetween a few, but I could be wrong. I might also recommend getting: Hunting in Skyrim http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18866/? (P.S. when you unlock the skinning system in HiS, turn it offso t doesn't interfere with Hunterborn.) It adds really nice skinning textures, adds a hunting guild questline, and just compliments the other three nicely. Load it right before Hunterborn if you choose to get oit, and for maximum compatibility get the No Perks version. Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade Weapon and Armor Fixes Remade Clothing and Clutter Fixes These are great fixes and balancers for the game, many people consider them essential in a load order I've noticed. I would reccomemd from what I've read, and my own experience, adding Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul, great mod! http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69306/? You can find a lot more useful ifixes, and mods in general, on this page: Skyrim Total Enhancement Project Wiki http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2 It's a little dated, but still can point you in the right direction for some great mods. Just make sure to read about their latest version updates and requirements. Wearable Lanterns goes great with anything that makes the night's and dungeons darker. Let's you free up your hands while having a believable light source. SkyUI is pretty much a requirement, needed for the MCM menus. If, for some reason, you don't care for it I believe their is an away version that still lets you access the MCM. Enhanced Lights and Effects. My personal favorite of the lighting mods, beautiful. A Quality World Map and Solstheim Map. Great map, one of the most popular. Skyrim HD - 2K Textures by NebuLa. Great textures and come in different resolutions depending on your rig. I would also recommend: The Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM) http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8655/? That can really make your game pop! Many options to choose from, customizable to your PC. Very little performance hit on mine, I love it. Skyrim -Community- Uncapper by Elys. Many mods make use of this. Instead of When Vampires Attack and Run for Your Lives you might consider getting: Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65013/? This mod does what both of those do naturally, and more. Read it carefully though, the full version is incompatible with many things and for some reason the mod's author doesn't want anyone making compatibility patches for it. Since he made it, that must be respected. The light version is ompatible with pretty much everything. Hope some of that helped!

P.S. I do also have all the appropriate versions of each mod, despite not having an internet connection, and can post my load order via text, screenshot, etc... if needed. Thank you for your time.

I only have internet access on my phone, so I'll be as thorough as possible without posting load order via pastebin. I've installed a Requiem build, used the custom Loot file found on the Requiem 1.9.4 patch central to help adjust load order, and moved mods by hand that still needed it. Cleaned those that needed it with Tes5edit. Ran the reqtificator. When I start the game via SkSe everything is fine. I play 2 or 3 hours, check the mods, all are functional, nothing seems to be overwriting any major parts of Requiem, etc... The problem comes when I close Skyrim. I cannot continue a saved game. As soon as I restart via SkSe, through MO by the way, and load a save or continue I get a ctd. The only change is some data in my overwrite from Frostfall and Campfire. It is SkSe data. I've tried creating a mod from it, and also deleting it, neither works. I can still start a new game though. Any suggestions?

I want to run the mod "Hunting in Skyrim" with "Requiem" but can't find if it's compatible, or needs a patch. I've heard it can be checked in Tes5edit and I have no problem doing that, found a couple good videos. One thing though, which esp goes on top when checking, HIS or Requiem? What I mean is, does load order matter when checking for conflicts and possibly making a patch in Tes5edit?

Okay, option 2 it is, thank you Striker! :thumbsup:

Hello! I am new to the world of cleaning mods :P I have a simple question that I've not been able to find the answer to anywhere (At least I hope its simple). If I clean a mod that I have installed via OBMM with TESIV how can I then export the newly cleaned verion into a new Omod?

I have had an unfortunate RL event which will cause me to have neither a computer or Internet access for an indeterminate ammount of time, so I apologize, but I will be unable to update this, or work on any mods at all. (I feel like a complete ass especially after the post two above). Anyone may have it, I am really sorry not my fault :( anyways, thank you for the good experience here, it was a pleasure, I hope someone takes this and runs with it, either way please don't be too hard on me, this is the last time I will be here.
