yeah, I used the original .nif files too. I just changed the file names and then the textures with nifskope. I didn't change/tamper with any of the meshes. Weird that my hunting bow mod works like it should but the Imperial doesn't. Tried deleting everything and doing it all over again about 4 times and still the same issues.

WIll BSAunpacker do something that FOMM won't?

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, that it's just falling through the floor. Unfortunately, I made a bad choice by including that bow in my first retexture, but if I stick with it, it may just teach me more. :)

I'm having the same problem now....any luck solving it? I made a mod that retextures the Hunting/Steel Bow and the Imperial/Iron Bow for my Ranger and Thief like characters trying to make them look a little more stealthy. After finally figuring out where I was screwing up (looking at you Nifskope!), I actually got the mod loaded. Like you, the first/third person views look great, even looks good in a weapon rack. But, as soon as I dropped the Imperial Bow it vanished. I think it may have something to do with setting collisions...but I don't know, just guessing. It also doesn't have the "draw" animation. the string is just in its normal state (not pulled back). The preview image for both is also a bit messed up...they just don't look like the default ones. The Hunting/Steel Bow works fine, and the Imperial/Iron Bow, other than what I have stated above, works fine. Any suggestions on how or what to do to remedy this situation?

nevermind...

Yeah, I'm using CK and Nifskope, just thought that all weapons had a 1stperson mesh, so that's good to know. I also wasn't sure about all textures not having normal and mipmaps. I still have a lot to learn. Lol Thanks for the info...

Since I'm just starting out, I thought I would do a simple bow retexture, but for some reason I can't find the 1stperson mesh for the steel/hunting bow. Also for the textures, I only found only found a xxxn_.dds file, no xxx_m.dds, for the Iron/Imperial bow which may be normal, but I'm not sure. Anyone have this problem? FYI...I'm using FOMM for extraction.

I just watched your tuts, very well done. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to do that so that people like myself can become further educated and continue to enjoy playing/creating the games we love.

I have what will probably be a pretty simple question to answer by most of you.... I have created two bow re-textures that I would like to use in game. I want to make them stand alone as new weapons and not be a replacer. They are just simple re-texes using the original meshes/maps. So how do I go about doing this? I have extracted and renamed the original files from the archives and put into a folder tree repectively, now what do need to do? Sorry, I have tried to google this but it's been no help. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

search "dual flurry" here and you should find what you seek.

check your "armor" settings by double clicking it in CK and make sure that your "race" is set to "default" and that under "biped object" that "31 - Hair" and "42 - Circlet" are highlighted. I had and issue with the helm disappearing when equipped due to issues found here.

I don't know if there is a fix to this bug yet, as I have been trying to find the answer too. Current work around, go to console and click on the NPC and then enter the command "setnpcweight ##" (#=whatever number between 1-100 that you choose to set as the NPC's weight) and it will fix it for that play-through, but will have to be redone every time that Skyrim is restarted.

I know there are few mods out there allowing two-handed weapon to become one-handed or to be dual wielded. check this mod out Dual Flurry

I just upgraded from an AMD 955be to an Intel SB 2500K and I saw some decent FPS performance increase in Skyrim. I would recomend if you are going to upgrade, go with a SB2500K or similar (<$210), a decent MB (AsRock Extreme3 Gen 3 $120) and get 8G of RAM (the GSkill can be had for about $60). This should keep you golden for a while, maybe then Uncle Rico will hook you up with some more nice stuff. ;)

yep, having the same problem here too. At first, I thought it was something to do with the mods I was running. Hopefully we'll get this sorted...cause it just looks like poop. Current work around: use armor with mask! lol

I used to travel everywhere on foot, but then I took an arrow to the knee. I'm with him ^, I fast travel a lot, but mainly for just quests. I walk a lot to explore, but not really to travel.

There are tools available that will allow you to do exactly that. Take a look at this link...I think this may be what you are looking for. Radio Active

Thanks, and yeah, you don't have to be so cocky. :teehee: I've been having some issues with the search feature...not sure if it's just me or not...I couldn't find the Readius mod either...had to finally get to it from a skin mod.

I'm sure that this has already been created, but I lack the search skills needed to find the mod. If not, then it would sweet to replace him with a hot chic, a Ghoul, or an Asian whipping boy. lol J/K

BOSS is available on TesNexus. I don't recall if OBSE is required by Lost Spires or not. I would install it anyway because with it you can then install the Elys Universal Silent Voice plugin (also available on TesNexus) - to help with those mods which do not provide voice acting or silent voice files. (Without voice files, the closed caption dialog goes by too quickly to read. Elys Universal Silent Voice automatically delays the closed caption by 8 seconds so you can read it for dialog without voice files.) You should not need to reinstall to be able to use a mod unless you are running on win7/vista and oblivion is in c:\Program Files (x86) - if this is true, reinstall your game somewhere else like c:\games\oblivion. Yup...I got it on TesNexus. OK I'll keep that in mind PS....I'm running W7 64X, but I do keep all my games (steam) in a separate partition from my OS (eg C:\)

Ok, I've installed: UOP V3.2 patch UOMP V15 patch Unofficial Shivering Isles patch HGEC mod, always hated how ugly the women looked...lol Alluring potion bottles mod F-INev Oblivion, high res skin textures Question: Can install the Lost Spire mod with these installed? Do I need to start a new game? Same question for Unique landscapes mod... Yes you can install both - although you will also need to acquire and install the Lost Spire compatibility patch for Unique Landscapes as well. Might as well download and become familiar with BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) as well to help you manage your load order since with UL and Lost Spires and the compatibility mod you already have a set of mods that must be loaded in a specific order... I guess it's time to take off the floaties and start swimming...lol :ohmy: Ok, I'll Google BOSS, (I'll post back if I cant find a DL host). I'm going to start with Lost Spires first then look int the UL mod later. Also, do I need OBSE too? I have it, but not installed yet. wasn't sure if I needed this or if it was just a modder tool. ...I also meant to say in my earlier post, Re-install, not "start a new game". Do I need to do a re-install with any of these mods? or any mods for that matter?

Cool, I'll start with Lost Spires...
