SkyEmerald

Hi all, I put together a mini-tutorial in Gimp for people with low-end PCs. I play on low to medium graphics cause I have a wooden PC, so I thought I would put a video together on how I make my gaming screenshots look better with a bit of editing. Hope it might help some people :smile: Take care! Che Click here for mini tutorial!

You could try this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31581/? that should manage multiple humanoid followers, possibly leaving space for a dog to be managed separately. Not sure as I haven't tried it, but it might work :)

Hi guys! I've played through Skyrim a few times (well about half of it in total, kept getting side tracked making and adding mods). :confused: When I first played through half the game, it was vanilla. Then I started adding various mods and the game was fresher and more enjoyable. I couldn't imagine playing the game modded from the start through, I feel I would have missed out on the originality of the game. As in what Lydia looks like, how she walks as a man, all the little charms and oddities to love and hate about a game when it's just come out. I haven't played Morrowind yet and my hubby tells me not to mod it too much, I agree with him. If I don't know what the game is like, how can I decide for myself what needs changing? A final word. I've noticed that Fallout 4 has a ton of mods to its name already. So the question remains, should people play (at least half of the game) vanilla before deciding to make changes. How do you know you wouldn't love the game as it is if you don't give it a chance to captivate you with its awesome vanilla flavours?! :laugh:

Need to delete post but it won't delete -_- ( I moved it to Skyrim general discussion - sorry about that).

I haven't tried these myself because I don't have that problem with my current mod setup but you could try them (one or the other I'd imagine). http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46465/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37407/?

No it's not necessary, the nmm files are downloaded to their own folder, so if you delete skyrim folder, the nmm folder will still keep the downloads there, ready for re-installation when you have installed skyrim again. I'd make sure Skyrim works first before reinstalling SKSE & any mods.

Yeah when I had a problem I had to go files, programs, steam, steamapps, skyrim and then I deleted the Skyrim folder with everything in it. This way I was sure nothing (scripts / etc) were left behind. After my game ran smoothly again. This is the bad side to modding :P Good luck and let me know if it works :)

Did you completely delete the Skyrim folder? so there was nothing at all? Reinstalling the game really should work :/

Are you able to start the game from Steam and load a new game this way? (As in not from SKSE launcher) if so, perhaps SKSE is causing in problem, I'd try reinstalling SKSE. I'm not sure what the problem would be but if I were you I would try two things: Providing you bought it from Steam - Verify integrity of game cache, do this by - From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button. Steam will verify the game's files - and replace any missing / corrupted ones. If that fails, maybe install the game from scratch. Good luck :)

I have read so many forums and so many people have the same issue as me but have managed to fix it. I try and do exactly what they do but it still is not fixed. Problem: Can't get textures to show up on the mesh. I have tried: Various versions of Nifscope, setting the correct paths to the original Data folders and external texture folders (see images). It's strange because Nifscope seems to recognize the texture folders, but just will not show the textures in the window. Can anyone suggest anything? Many thanks... :s http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/SecretUser/media/nifproblem_zps8622b3eb.png.html?filters[user]=141831837&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=1 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/SecretUser/media/nifproblem2_zpsa35de738.png.html?filters[user]=141831837&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

Yes, it does seem that I can only endorse if I download manually, but this is a major problem if no one can endorse anything by downloading it using NMM :/ And yes you're probably right about that it not being Skyrim related, I'll post it in the main forum. Thanks :)

I created a custom npc and designed custom textures. I managed to make these show up in game for both the body and the head. I have a strange problem though. As the title says, when I zoom out in the creation kit (in the create race window) and also walk away from the npc in game, the textures disappear and fade into Nordfemale default. Any ideas why? Thanks :)

Thanks for your offer to help Himeki and Demongelrex :) I found a modder who was able to help me :) I will be sure to check for those hi-res textures!

I have written to support about this but have got nowhere. For some reason I can only endorse 4 mods, yet I have downloaded loads that I want to endorse. I have downloaded them through NMM but most have not shown up in my download list. How can I get this sorted? :/

Awww no responses yet :( I hope I was clear enough :S I was wishing for a small worldspace with nothing in it but sea (with a generated LOD of endless sea) as my ck crashes when I try... Then I could pull up the landmass and create my mod :) I hope someone takes pity on a noob modder with an uncooperative ck :P

I have a huge favour to ask the community o.o I have started working on a mod but have to start again as my ck won't let me generate a simple LOD for an Island sea. Is it possible that a modder who is in a stable relationship with their ck would be able to generate a simple LOD for a distant sea for me? This way I can use the landscape tool to drag the land above sea level and when I place my character on its shores I can stare out at an endless oceans and whoever takes liking to my mod can also. I'm sure a few other modders would benefit from this too as a lot of people have the same problem as me... I would credit you for the fantastic 10min LOD and there would be cookies and no arrows to the knees! :D Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I am new to creating outdoor spaces and I can't work out why I can see all my cells when under the water. When I started lifting the ground (using CK landscape tool) everything looked fine, now I notice that I can see the separate cells. Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.

Ah ok thanks, so I need some additional software to open files and then save them as a plug-in? The types of files I'm trying to use are http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/44434/? plus other various resources like activators, new plants etc.

Hi thanks for your response, this is an example of one of the files I am trying to open in the CK: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44434/? its an aquarium. Some of the other files are Strotis ovens and some plants / grass. It's like the folder is there with lots of meshes etc. So I need another software to open these files and then save as .esp or something? :S

I quite confused about the Creation kit, it's probably something I'm missing. I downloaded a few modding resources, some of them are .esm or .esp but some of them are not masters or plugins and although the files are in the data folder, I cannot use them as they don't appear in the creation kit under Data select. Surely I don't need modding resources to be masters or plugins to be able to use them? Any advice will be much appreciated. :)

Hi There :) I have been using 'Easy NPC Creation' mod in order to make custom npcs with the look I want. When I get to the creation kit, only half the features are available and I have to use default ones. Is there an alternative mod or a better way of doing this? Something that will overwrite whatever the ck wants to provide me with? Many thanks :D

Thank you very much, I'll give it a go. :S To be honest, I havn't tried to upload my mod yet cause of this reason. I'm kinda freaked by the possibility that I'll have hundreds of posts complaining of grey faces.... O.O Well that's if a hundred people were interested in it...

I've been making some mods in the Creation kit for a while now and want to make sure that grey faces do not appear in them when I upload them to Nexus. I Ctl + f4 and this fixes the problem for me, if I just do that and click 'upload to nexus' will this fix the problem for others or will I have to do something manually? Many thanks :)

I downloaded an Idle for Male replacer mod but I didn't like it and there is no way of uninstalling it. The npcs (both male & female) are constantly eating bread and drinking at the same time (bread clipping into the cup) and standing awkwardly. I have no idea what to do now as my game files are corrupted. I thought it was safe to use replacers. A female idle replacer uninstalled perfectly from a different modder, so it must be a bad file. Does anyone know what to suggest? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :( The mod was this: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25713/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D25713&pUp=1 ( Male Idle Animation Replacer by Edg3)
