Hi everyone, There are so many hair mods going about now, which is great. However, I only like a hanful of hairs out of all of the hair packs available at the moment, but I can't install them all at the same time, nor do I want to keep uninstalling and installing them over and over just to get 1 hairstyle on 1 character. So I would like to make my own hair pack, with hand-picked hairstyles from each hair pack. Would anyone be able to tell me how I go about doing this? I opened the creation kit and tried to give it a go myself, but I literally have no idea what I'm doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Updating to the beta drivers appears to have fixed it - thanks for your help.

(TL;DR My character's face flashes black, is this caused by running SLI? If so, is there a fix?) Hello everyone, I've recently come back to Skyrim and reinstalled all my mods. Now, everything was working pretty much fine. Fairly stable FPS - around 30-40 with ENB enabled, SSAO and DoF disabled (I freaking love that mod). Obviously, it drops down a fair bit when I turn SSAO and DoF on, so I settled with playing with them off and turning them on for screenshots only. However, I actually have a second graphics card (GTX 570), I just haven't been able to use it for the last while because my boyfriend was using it. Anyway, I got it back, so I now have 2 570's in SLI. And now I have a problem. The face, or head, of my character now flashes black and after a while it eventually turns completely black. I've tried reinstalling my face/body textures and it did nothing (as I originally thought it was a problem with using the texture blender). So I did a bit of googling and what mostly comes up is people having the problem when using Crossfire. So I wondered if this could also be caused by using SLI? I haven't tried playing without my SLI as it was late last night when I discovered it and I'm at work at the moment so can't test it. If it is a problem with SLI however, does anyone know if there's a fix going about for it? Or if there is anything I can do other than having to disable SLI to play Skyrim? Thanks everyone.

I've reinstalled my Skyrim, as well as my mods and I'm experiencing CTDs outside. I just made a new game, and transferred her face from a previous save to this new one - so it's completely fresh other than that. I open the save and start playing (I'm using alternate start - camping in the woods option) and when I get to the burnt body and pick up the journal, I go to my inventory and it CTDs. I'm hoping someone can help me, I'm so sick of all these crashes >.> Here's the log I get; EDIT: Just to say, I made another new character, played around with her in Falkreath for about 40mins all within the inn, the blacksmith (outside) and the general store. As soon as I went out the gates of Falkreath it CTD'd. Here's the log for it;

Ah, thank you very much! I'm going to add onto this and ask if anyone knows where the armor is for the woman on the right as well? :P

Hey guys, does anyone happen to know where I can find the boots on the middle woman and most-right woman in this picture by wraith132? (As well as the shoes on the middle-left woman actually).

Hey guys, I've recently started playing again and after updating/installing new mods, I played for about 3 or 4 hours yesterday on a ranger character I created a while back (though she was still only level 1, now she's level 3 :P) Anyway - everything was going perfectly fine and I was having a lot of fun. I didn't try out any of my other saves extensively, I just checked to make sure my main savegame was working as I was previously having issues with insta-CTDs which I figured out were the cause of wrong ugrids values. So, my previous saves were working peachy and I played for 4 hours with no problems at all - sounds good. In between checking my old saves (oh, and making a new character - a Temptress) I downloaded some new mods then I went to play my ranger character without testing my previous saves again, because I assumed they were all dandy. Today, after installing a few mods, I went to go onto my main save (a nord warrior) and I noticed something was not right. I don't know how to describe it, but it's like there's another mesh on top of the original mesh and they're showing through each other. I checked on my ranger character, and it's happening to her too. So I checked with a new game and it seems to be showing up for all female races, except the new Temptress race. Screenshots are at the bottom to describe what I'm talking about better. I did install FNIS and some new animations (as well as other mods which I don't think relate to the problem at all). This was earlier today, before I checked my main save, so I'm thinking it may be something to do with that? Does anyone else know what's going on and what I can do? I will try uninstalling FNIS and see if that helps. Screenshots here Temptress Race (no problems) New character screen 1 New character screen 2 Ranger character 1 Ranger character 2 (when you zoom right in, the problem bits disappear - that's what I meant about it looking like there's 2 meshes - one underneath and one on top) Ranger character 3 (as you zoom out, the problem bits become more and more apparant until her whole face becomes black and blocky, like the first picture)

I'm trying to learn how to create my own armor. I have a whole concept sketch done up, but first I wanted to create something simple and get it working before I tackle a full set. I've already hit some trouble. When adding my .nif to the creation kit (using this tutorial, at the part 'Add the armor to the game using the CK') I get a big red triangle with an exclamation mark on the Model Data preview and it says Marker_error:0. Does anyone know what I've done wrong, or what I've not done at all? Or how to fix it? Also, after I'm comfortable with the process and get something successfully imported to the game I think I'll go ahead and make my own tutorial for getting armor into the game. This tutorial is ok, it just leaves a bit to be desired and I'm having difficulty following some parts of it. Though I am extremely grateful for the person who made this tutorial, as I wouldn't even know where to begin without it.

Couldn't the translations be filtered somehow so that they only show up if we're looking for them? Or have a seperate section for translations where they only show up in that section? And the original mod can have a link to any translations that have been uploaded.

This has probably been asked before. I've tried googling it, but nothing's coming up. Basically, I'm looking for a mod that when a dragon attacks and you're killing it alongside the guards they don't turn hostile on you if you accidentally hit them. I was just in an epic battle with a frost dragon, died a few times, and finally I manage to get a final fire breath shout in to take it down but I catch a few guards with it - they turn hostile on me and and I died. -.- It's really rather frustrating and doesn't make much sense. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Hey everyone. I have so many ideas for modding Skyrim that I decided I would finally learnt how to mesh properly. But I've encountered a problem already. I've installed Blender but it won't seem to load up properly. It stays on the loading screen and nothing loads properly. When I hover my mouse over things they show up, but the splash screen doesn't go away and the workspace won't load at all. I'm using v2.49b, I've tried the newest version of Blender which seems to work fine, but all of the modding tutorials use 2.49b. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it? I've got python 2.6.6 installed as well. Picture under here of when I hover over things;

It's not in my game anymore either. I think everything in my game reset a couple of days ago. There were a few bandits on the road to High Hrothgar I killed that are also gone and a troll just before Ivarstead. There's more, but those came to my head first.

So a few days back I was doing a quest near Riften and I came across a stray dog. I asked him to follow me and he came trotting around with Lydia and I everywhere we went. I came to realise that I had to be careful when running for a long time and when going indoors as Melvin (the dog :D) would sometimes disappear. So I made a habit of quicksaving everytime I was about to go indoors. After I while I headed back to my home in Whiterun and asked Melvin to wait whilst I sorted through my inventory and got ready to settle down for the night. I assumed it would happen and I correct that when I went to sleep, Melvin was gone when I woke up. I tried 4 or 5 times and there was no way to make him stay if I went to sleep. So I decided that I would have to just let him go. I was very sad. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/sad.gif Skip forward to just now where I've come to Markarth and decided I wanted to buy a war dog. I hoped that since I would officially own him he wouldn't disappear like Melvin did. But I can't even get that far. When I go to buy the war dog I'm told "sorry, you already have an animal with you". I thought Lydia might be making it go funny so I asked her to leave, but still nothing. I thought it might be because of my horses? Or does the game still think I have Melvin with me so won't let me buy a war dog? If so, is there a way I can get Melvin back? Or a way to 'reset' so it knows I don't have Melvin anymore. Or is Nethalys destined to never owning a dog companion ever again? http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/confused.gif

Thanks for the help everyone. I did a quick fresh install on another drive to compare my fps and (with a few essential mods), I'm sticking at 30fps (which is a great number) and it doesn't go any higher than that (unless inside). So I think what I'm getting is the best I'm going to get with all the mods I have installed and the tweaks I've done. I've lowered some of the settings on a few of my graphic-intense mods and I get on average 20fps around the country and about 8-12fps in towns when it's bad weather or particularly busy. I know 8-12fps sounds really bad, but it doesn't seem that bad when you're playing, unless you compare it to 30fps, haha. Anyways, thank you so much everyone. bben46; I'm using my native resolution as anything higher makes my font go all fuzzy, which is rather annoying on my eyes. I have a 24" TV and my resolution is 1360x760. Ghoulz; Yep, that happens to me, too. When I'm out of town my fps increases a lot, and I don't get so much stutter. Rydan; Thanks for this, I'll make sure to run it everytime before I start up my game. Though I'm not actually sure if it makes a difference, as I've checked how much RAM Oblivion is using whilst playing and it's only using about 3.5gb when I have 16gb available.

Hm, that's rather disappointing. But I guess if there's nothing else that can be done, I'll just have to do further tweaking. Thanks anyway.
