Has anyone else had problems with the crossbow animations? When I equip the crossbow and try to run in 3rd person, it looks like I'm a statue rolling along on skates with the crossbow in my hand. If I switch to 1st person, it looks normal. Also, when the slow mo "kill cam" does its cinematic animation, I just stand or sit still and nothing happens. I noticed that there's several DLC folders in the Dawnguard BSA folder that are not in my DATA folder. Could that be the issue? I can't imagine that I have to manually drag and drop them into my mesh/animation folders.

I got it to work...it had nothing to do with the female guard mod. I reinstalled it, but noticed that the Dawnguard.esm box wasn't checked in my mod manager. As soon as I checked it and started the game, the first guard I talked to gave me the vampire speech...starting the quest.

One of my mods converts all the guards to female , so I originally thought that might be the problem, but I disabled it...fast traveled 10 times to make the vanilla male guards take effect, but they still won't say anything but the normal stuff.

Thanks for the info. I guess Steam thinks everyone should just "know" how to do everything. Their site is definitely not user friendly. I guess it's too much trouble to put a "install now" or "active DLC after downloading" button...as long as they get their $20, that's all they really care about. Its funny...they seem to make it very easy to find the "pay now" button.

My guards won't say anything except the same old stupid crap they always say. Nothing about vampires or anything new. I found the Dawnguard.esm in my data folder but no .esp file. Should there be one too?

I've clocked in over 600 hours in this game and still have trouble with Steam (finding stuff). How do you start the Dawnguard questline? I just want the crossbows. I've traveled to Dawnstar...thinking that was a logical place to start and...nothing.

I'm having a problem making certain NPCs wear specific outfits in the game. For example, I want all the Companions to wear the Wolf armor. I open the CK, make the changes, save before exiting and start game. The all keep their Skyrim default outfits on. Aela still wears Ancient Draugr armor, not the Wolf armor. I go up to her...hit resurrect and still she appears in the Ancient Draugr armor. This only seems to happen with trainers and followers for some reason. If I change a random farmer or shopkeeper, the outfits change to match the CK outfits. Also, when I change the NPCs weight in the CK, it doesn't change in game either. I have to go up to them manually and change their weight with console commands. I even have the mod making these changes load last...still nothing. I don't seem to remember this happening a few months ago...maybe it has something to do with the latest update? I know it's some kind of bug...just wondering if there's a fix or workaround for it.

I'm fairly familiar with Nifskope, but having trouble combining armors that fit various parts of the body and making a single cuirass_0.nif file. The armors show up in Nifskope, but not in game. Here's my example. I have a Glass armor (cuirass file) that I can pull up in Nifskope. I want to add a leg piece from another armor set onto my existing cuirass file. I make the few changes necessary to import the leg piece into my existing armor set (with Nifskope) and it shows to be on the same body. I save it and place the armor in game, but the leg piece doesn't show up. Can't figure it out. I'm trying to add a variation to my existing female armor set to upload on the Nexus...to share with all. Need help

That sounds like way too much work. As much of a pain as it is, I'll just go up to each of the guards and "equipitem" their armors, boots, and gauntlets. Thanks for the info though

Thanks for the feedback. I figured it was something to do with the CK. It was a recent problem, that made no sense...which often means a CK problem. If it was unique to the mod it wouldn't happen with other mods. I was hoping for a solution or "work around" fix of some kind. I don't want to spend endless hours trying to make sense of a problem with no logical solution if there wasn't one.

Ive recently discovered a weird issue. I'm using "King of Riverhelm" and "Wars is Skyrim" mods, but want to make a few changes for my own personal game. I don't like the vanilla female's appearance and want to change the male housecarls in the "Riverhelm" mod to female housecarls. I'm experienced with this process, as I've done 100 times before with my own mods (supermodel skyrim, all female guards...). Anyway everything regarding the changes to females works fine...appearances change, males converted to female, inventory selected is correct. My problem is now ALL male "Riverhelm" and "Wars in Skyrim" guards are now naked. I make NO changes to any of the male guards in the CK, so I don't understand how this happens. If I go up to the male guards and type "inv", it shows all the correct guard inventory. I type resurrect and they are still naked. If I disable the altered Kingofriverhelm.esp, it goes back to normal...the original settings. Ideas, thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. I figured someone had to of asked about it before now, but I couldn't find the thread. It's hard to believe it would just up and disappear...it was one of the best all time mods.

Maybe I'm an idiot, blind, or have been living under a rock, BUT I can't find the Wars in Skyrim mod anymore. Has it been deleted, renamed or something? I downloaded it a while back and had no reason to re-download it, but I was checking for an update or if anything new had come out with it (being one of my favorite mods)...and can't find it anymore.

Does anyone know of a "dead thrall" or "dread zombie" type mod that lets you reanimate multiple people at the same time? I know that one lets you reanimate 3 at a time, but I want to do more than 3. I like using all the extra enemy mods that lets hordes of enemies ambush you at one and I get overwhelmed very fast. I travel with 5 followers, which helps, but I'd like to reanimate several of the enemies and have a small army at times.

thanks for the info...I was hoping there was an actual mod that makes the time tick by faster without having to do anything with the console

Does anyone know of a mod that speeds up the wait menu? I know it seems trivial, but besides the occasional computer freezing and crashing, the thing I hate the most is having to sit there and watch the wait menu tick by...especially if I have to wait 48 hours for the vendors to restock. If you're going to reply with any of the following comments...don't bother - Have patience - That seems stupid...who cares - Good things come to those who wait...or some other dumb cliche - Or anything else than an actual answer I don't mean to be a jerk, but I get enough dumb comments on my mod pages...Thanks in advance to anyone that knows

Cool...appreciate the info. I kinda figured it was good...looking at the number of downloads and endorsements. I'll check it out.

I've started over so many times, it's almost automatic for the first 5-10 levels...same people, same quests. I've seen a few of the "alternate starts" mods and was wondering which ones are the best? I could see how it would be difficult just starting out with rags and no money...how would you get weapons to kill bandits to sell to upgrade armor and weapons...and so on. I guess you could spend a few hours trying your hand at pickpocketing but you'd have to "cheat" to sell the goods to buy stuff you actually need. I like the idea of starting with literally nothing but the rags on my back and becoming "Champion of Skyrim", but can't get around the problem of acquiring basic armors and weapons to get the ball rolling.

How do you upload images to your file where they stay in the order that you uploaded them? You would think that they would either fall in line behind the last image or go to the first image, but when I put new images up, they just randomly go in the load order. It's annoying because I have specific images that I want grouped together.

Cool...appreciate the info

Thanks for the info...I'll try the ini edit. So putting bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 will let me load more than 1 or is the number 1 the limit? Should it be ...loads=2 for 2 master files?

I'm trying to mod some NPC with Apachiihair and need to use the Apachiihair.esm in order to not get the dark face bug. I also need to use a custom race/body mod that also require a master .esm to be active. The CK only lets 1 master .esm to be used at a time. Has anyone figured a way around this? I want to create a few different body textures for different NPCs and need both of these master .esm to load into the DATA files at the same time. I want to make some "house girls" with lingerie type body textures, some female followers with custom body tattoo textures, and so on.

I was hoping for an easy AI fix or something, but the throne is probably identified as a chair rather than a throne. I didn't know if someone already had a way to ID the throne as a chair with a quick CK edit. I haven't messed with moving furniture or swapping things around yet.

I'm putting together a NPC overhaul mod and can't stand how the female Jarls sit on their throne. Only the Jarl of Solitude sits lady like. It kills the whole "feminine walk" look when she slouches down on the throne. Does anyone know of a way to make the other female Jarls sit like this...particularly he Jarl of Riften?

I thought it might have something to do with creating more than 1 follower for the same area, but that didn't make any logical sense...but then again a lot of bugs out there make no logical sense. I was hoping someone encountered the same problem and figured out a way around it.
