I figured it out, it was something else making it crash. Man i suck in gimp, i had to resort to noob mspaint tactics to get this done. Its good enough, im satisfied... for now.

well.. using gimp i merged the lips onto the main layer(not sure if i did that right, there was some options) then exported it dtx5 but it crashes when i start the game. i get a notice when exporting about it might be a volume map but not all layers are the same size. idk how important that is. It appears there is no option to export to dtx4, is that the problem?

Most of the tutorials i find dont really explain why you are doing certain things, so in the end, you only learned how to do that specific thing you were shown. I want to retexture a face base texture and specular and there are a few things i just cant find the answers to. What is the proper way to import and export base and specular texture in gimp? What informantion does .dds hold aside from just what you see in the picture? If Im just replacing a texture by modifying one that already works, do i still need to use nifscope? if so why? Basically im just trying to add lips and eyes from base and specular textures i found to the default textures. Im hoping it will just be as easy as copy and pasting and importing and exporting properly, because nifscope looks complicated. I get the feeling it might not be that simple tho. :ermm:

Its been a while since i played new vegas and im installing again and trying to get back all the mods i once had. I could have sworn i had a mod that made 3rd person camera not suck. the players direction would move independantly from the camera direction while not holding a weapon and would go to normal mode with players back facing the camera while weapon was drawn. all i can find now is centered 3rd person cameras and zoomed out cameras, i dont really care much about those since it doesnt help the problem of constantly seeing the players back and crappy animations while in that view. Does anyone know where i can find this or did i just dream this up, like i said its been a while since i played this.

What mods do you think should have been in the game to start with? Mods that enhance immersion and gameplay experience and fix aspects where Bethesda fell short. The first one that comes to my mind is Realistic Lighting. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7654 I was waiting for something like that since the first day i played the game.

"Did you see those warriors from Hammerfell? They got curved swords........Curved........Swords." "There is no glory in war. That's just something they tell soldiers so they will risk their lives." Those are my 2 favorites.

Thank you. I, like many other people, have great respect for the developers, which i think is why everyone was so quick to bash the original post without thinking. It is not mental capacity, i have known some very smart people, bona fide genius, photographic memory etc, had opinions that seemed to have sprung from the intellect of 12 year olds, and just as strong. They all had one thing in common, they never shut up long enough to think and form an opinion that hadnt previously been suggested or laid in front of them. In no point in their lives had they ever realized or admitted to themselves that they didnt know everything. There is a lot to be said about things when appropriate, and i guess a million times more to shut up and think about. And toppling a business sounds glorious, but i do not want to do that :P i just want the mod communities freedoms to remain in tact.

No matter how poorly presented this argument is, the weight of this subject should be understood. The important thing is that this move could be setting a standard for future games to come. Steam is being integrated into the creation kit. I dont know weather they will start charging for mods for this particular game, it doesnt matter to me at this point. However, i am certain that if this catches on companies of future games supported by mods will. There is no other direction left to go once a company, whose main goal is making money, takes control of a modding community. I kinda like the idea of modders making money from there mods. However, and a big HOWEVER, i dont like the idea of the modder receiving just a small percentage of it, they should get 95%-100% not giving most of it to a company that did none of the work. The other big downside is once this catches on, you will hardly find a mod for free and a community that was once based around creating and sharing will be based around little more than making money. I am reminded of The Sims, i used to love downloading mods for that game back in the day. Until a few websites started charging for mods and then it caught on like wild fire, you could hardly find a good mod without paying. But there was many sights to choose from, This may be a somewhat worse situation since it may likely be one company to choose from. If they decided to add copyright to the license saying that mods on steam are not allowed to be uploaded to any other sites and even worse if they said mods are only allowed to be uploaded to steam... well just imagine. Nexus's future would be gone. And with this new SOPA BILL and others like it, you could be facing criminal charges for trying to download a mod elsewhere. Side effects of money and greed already effect the quality of news and information you can obtain, i dont also want it effecting the thing i use to escape that annoyance. For those of you that think im exaggerating and these things could never happen, you severely underestimate the power and influence of money and companies and how when each person within a company or organization is trying to what good for it, causes it to take on a life of its own, having extremely negative effects without a conscious effort ever existing. Once standards are set they are near impossible to unset. And really i can see no other outcome for this, for company whose goal is profit, given enough time. they will not take a step backwards. At very best it will stay the way it is, mods will be free to share and free to download. its hard to imagine it staying that way over time tho. I love Nexus! I find it so greatly inspiring that a site could bring together so many people to produce such an amazing amount mods out of the love for the games and the community. i would hate to see it tainted by a company that would like nothing better than to nickel and dime all your mods along with moderating everything they dont approve of. i fully support thelonewarriors attempts for the sake of Nexus and the community. i would advise anyone else who finds this site or the community the least bit valuable to do the same. Bottom line is this is a step in a bad direction, how can anything good come of it that nexus does not already have to offer? hopefully i explained this enough. http://www2.metrotimes.com/sb/166280/BIG_Banksy02.jpg

100% agree. it being darker would make me want to sneak more out of nervousness, which is what i want, but it would be rather useless since the AI would still notice me like its daylight. but i guess i will have to settle for anything until a proper mod is made. I feel exactly the same way. Its not just bethesda tho, it seems to be all game companies. Usually when i find myself asking WHY WHY WHY, its usually the same answer. To improve sales by making it easier and catering to the casual noob who is likely to spend more time ruining the games rep on the official forums with stuff like ZOMG WTF ITS TOO DARK I CANT SEEEEE!!! than playing the game. Its heartbreaking that so many games are dumbed down for these little turds. Since not being able to see is more noticeable than being able to see everything, they made it bright.

thanks for the advice, i download and installed. it does not make dungeons any darker, just a little, its barely noticable. but i like the mod. i will be looking forward to your mod monstermonkey to make dungeons like they should be :) Their decision to make dungeons so bright without a actual source of light really annoys me :\ all i can think is WHY WHY WHY? It really breaks immersion and makes dungeons boring to me.

Ok is this just a problem on my end, cuz ive not seen this mentioned, or is it like daylight in dungeons for everybody? I've not had use a torch or light spell and i have just been plowing thru dungeons without a bit of fear because i can see EVERYTHING. If i turn the brightness down, then daylight is way too dark. What settings can i change that will make dungeons and night time darker? I wanna get a bit scared in skyrim dungeons like i did in oblivion :P

UFF is the best imo. HGEC is more photogenic but UFF looks better in game and has better shoulders and arms and a great ass.

Are there any sexy face pose mods? i have alot of pose mods and 2 that change the facial expressions but they are only happy, sad, angry, etc. They dont really work with the sexy poses. Thanks

I like the effects of HDR. its a little overly bright on ur character at times tho. is there a tweak to tone this down?

ok i do get a bounty and they do look at me, the npc i was trying to pickpocket b4 was someone that worked in my castle so i wasnt getting a bounty. so the problem is im just getting caught 100% of the time. my sneak skill is 56 what could be causing this?
