Herculine

I'm a newbie, so I apologize if I've broken a forum rule with this. If this is not the place to post this, then may I ask where it would be appropriate? :unsure:

Does anyone else find this offensive, or is it just me?

I hadn't thought of that, but you are certainly right. I guess you would have to know enough about it all to use TES4Gecko or something like that to merge all the esp files and clean up any redundancies that it renames as duplicates. I've actually had to do that with mods I downloaded before I got up the courage to become a member. :biggrin:

I'm a newbie so I certainly don't intend to contradict the advice of other more experienced modders, but I would like to elaborate upon it if I may. I've created a few custom race CM Partners companions and even submitted one to the TESNexus now, and I've found that it's okay for your custom race to be an esp as long as your CM is created withint that same esp. If you keep those two aspects separated, however, then you will likely need to go the esm route. :whistling:

Hello all! My user name is Herculine, and I'm a newbie here. I'm a 21 year old student, a short & round girl with stubby arms and legs. I guess that's why I like role-playing games where I can pretend to be a tall & strong warrior princess! (No, I don't have any self-esteem issues, do I?) Anyway, I'm going to try to do some modding, but I don't know a lot about it. Please be patient with me as I learn! ;)

What did you put in their AI list? If their AI tells them to be at a specific place performing a specific action during a specific time period they should be doing just that. If it's not an AI problem, it could be some kind of load order problem. Maybe another NPC's AI is conflicting with their schedules. When I first tried to play with Talitha, the Ainmhi CM by Divine Avenger (which has no bugs that I could find -- well-done and thank you, DA!), I could never find her in the Wawnet Inn & Tavern where she was supposed to be. As it turns out, another CM from another mod apparently was hogging up her space so she simply wasn't there. I don't pretend to understand why Oblivion does some of the things that it does, but when I changed my load order I was then able to meet Talitha. Maybe your problem is similar?
