Good grief, well said. Nice to hear a calm, rational voice amongst all the biggering and argueing this thread is quickly turning into.

Very well written article Robin. I liked what you said and you said it well. I don't play on console, nor do I have Fallout so I was a bit confused in the beginning by everything I read here on the forum (and appalled to be honest by some people's responses and their suggestions on how to deal with these thieves) Shocking to realise how laid back Bethesda is in this matter and how they intend to 'deal' with mod theft. That is all the more reason why I am glad to be part of this community. At least here, your voice is heard. I am really happy for console gamers that they are finally able to mod their game. But not when it is done by resorting to theft.

Thank you for the reply and info. Kudos to you.

You may have better luck if you post your question here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/485981-skyrim-mod-detectives-thread/

Wow, complicated stuff but the more I read your explanation, the more it begins to make sense. (I am currently following Nightasy's tutorials so most of this stuff is double Dutch) And thank you for explaining the difference between XPMSE and XP32. I never quite understood it untill now. Am I therefore right in assuming that if a mod requires XP32, you can safely install XPMSE instead?

Hi Geone Noob here myself in 3D modeling, but if you are looking for a good 3ds Max tutorial, I would definitely suggest Nightasy's Youtube channel. The tutorials are on Skyrim modeling and well worth watching (and following along: step by step) If you do have Skyrim installed on your pc, I would definitely start with his playlist and once you get the hang of it, you may be able to give Fallout 4 a try? :thumbsup: You're in luck. Just took a look at the Nightasy channel as I remembered he had another Youtube channel called Brainpoof. And he covers Fallout modding there with Maya :dance: Here you go: Good luck!

Forgive me for being a noob, but if the problem is on 'the Nexus site', how come not all of us are experiencing this redirect? Some are, but not everyone. This site has millions of members. There would have been a ton load of complaints by now. I don't have ad-block on, I see the normal ads one would expect, I am not being redirected to a fake flash update site.

My pages were slowed down as well and what worked for me was turning off the 'skin' under site preferences.

Red triangles and exlamation marks means your game can't read the meshes. In other words, the meshes were not installed properly. 'Unrelated' npc's show up as exclamation marks, but they may not be as 'unrelated' as you might think. When you use a body replacer like CBBE, every female in the game will use that bodytype, so if the meshes were installed in the wrong place, you end up with these type of problems. It helps if you tell people how you installed CBBE. Did you do it manually? Use a mod manager like NMM or MO? A mod manager is usually the best way to go. Check your folder to see if the meshes (nif files) are there: Steamapps/common/Skyrim/Data/Meshes/actors/characters/character assets (go to CBBE mod page, go the files tab. Under 'main file' there's a little magnifier glass. Click on that and it will show you the content of the mod you are about to download and the file path and what all the nif files are called and where they are located.) Oh and speaking of dirty edits, everytime you run 'verify game cache' you will have to clean your masterfiles again with TES5Edit. Do not clean Skyrim.esm, only Update.esm and any other DLC you may have installed.

All I can tell you is that the armour is from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4793/? And the hair is probably from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10168/? The rest I don't know unfortunately.

I am not certain if I understood you correctly but if you are looking for a mod that allows you to wear cloaks, then this one: Cloaks of Skyrim http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12092/?

Great that you found the original mod. And it could be that a texture replacer changed the appearance? Which mod was it btw?

Ah nuts :sad:

Great that you found a pic, that will hopefully narrow down your search. Could it be from LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/39870/? Under the files section, there's an optional file: DragonBling weapons: adds ruby, emerald or sapphire pommel stones to the Dragonbone meshes (DG only
