Hello! I was wondering if anyone has and/or would like to make some empty houses for people to decorate in the CK (or in game, whatever). I simply adore all the modder furniture/clutter resources ... but I'm terrible at building houses! What I - and others, I'm sure - would ideally like is an empty house with room to put in beds, etc, but not have to worry about the walls/floors/navmeshing. Outside in the worldspace as well as in the interior cell ... something perfect for decorating, without worrying about holes in the floor or seams in the walls! Ambient lighting would be nice as well, eg: set up the light through the windows, and the interior cell color values (I think that's what I'm trying to say? LOL). But I'd want to put candlelight in myself! Thank you so much for reading this! Hopefully there's an architect out there who doesn't like decorating & is willing to share http://tesalliance.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/aa_smile.gif (x-posted to several skyrim forums)

In regards to this topic - does anyone know if it's possible to have a separate install of Skyrim? I really, really want one Tropical Skyrim and one regular, but I hate having to switch out everything when I feel like playing my mage vampire instead of my cat burglar ... I tried to see if the install was separate if I was on a different windows "user" but it's the same :( ... Help please!

Woe! Fus Ro Mod is down! I am absolutely bereft without it - I rely on it so much when decorating. Is it gone forever? Is there an alternative to find form IDs online so I don't have to crack open the CK for a chair code? :(

Thank you! They look perfect now and I was able to finish my recolors! I'll edit this with pictures so you can see :) [eta:] And here they are! red - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330851072/0BEC6EE6377723C0AD6624374093E5AE83F2E3E4/ light brown - http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330856843/5ED869E552D76FC70C9A81EFF9A85AB71A776DFF/ dark brown - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330861893/9B2CBEFF99F0F953CEA288302F8DB47BB0AAB203/ chocolate - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330867768/359583F1CE5C3868B08A9815022F6E0DF0D0F338/ black - http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330871950/9DD143C25EE6E506ACA044E7CE721CB025E6177F/ white - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330877292/E23693D632F6DC68C4B3C27E552DE011145B43F2/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902108287330844117/FE616BC7B3184A8BAE7029CCDD01C006DAFB6245/ I'm not SUPER keen on the red one myself, but my bf loves it so I guess I will keep it as is. The others I'm proud of :) Though the white is definitely my favorite!! (lol that's why there are 2 pics of it xD) I really appreciate you helping me - all your explanations were SO helpful! I've actually screenshotted what you said so I can refer back to it if I never need to make my own normal map :) At the moment I've "replaced" your textures with the ones I did ... because I'm still not 100% sure how to save something as its own new thing. I'll probably watch a tute on that later tonight, since I want to add more gugel colors while still keeping the ones you did! I'm also trying to decide if I want to replace the short-scarves with patterned ones or do a mix of solid and patterned ... My boyfriend really wants a scarf that looks like the Dunmer banners in Windhelm, so that's probably where I'll start. :D Thank you again, I'm having so much fun!!

CBBE Bodyslide. Hands down. I can make a body that looks like UNP for the skinny NPCs and have a full-figured Viking lady for the 100 weight. AND Caliente has worked the vanilla armors so they conform to the bodyslide bodies. What more can you ask for?

Oh, hm. I looked in my textures folder and the only "_n.dds" normal map file I see is for the gugels ... I will redownload and see if that fixes the problem! Thank you so much for your reply~~ :D Your information is so helpful! [eta:] Okay, I checked in nifskope, and I looked in "gri_banditf_f_0", "gri_banditf_f_1" and "gri_banditf_go" and it looks like they all reference Beth's normal map ... ? (Keep in mind I'm SUPER new to modding, so I could be looking at it completely wrong *G*) http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/inkspottedtea/10151360/55713/55713_original.png Is that where I'm supposed to be looking for the normal map assignment?

Hello! I am attempting to retexture Grimoa's Scarves (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17401) for my own use and I'm running across a confusing bug/glitch/texture? I'm experiencing very shiny textures of the fur capes, and I'm not sure what is causing it. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I am very new to modding ... For reference: this is the female fur cape pulling its textures from the new-fur-textures from aMidianBorn (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27810). This is how Grimoa's scarves behave normally for certain colors, but there are other colors she added. I am trying to make the added colors now look like the aMidianBorn textures! http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206383309/3E71421EAF4268FD3CE0046BFBD0519AC80CD206/ But, when I load up my recolors ... http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206381494/363909D1231C65CEAA7645F5B0E02E9BA45CB7C2/ It's all shiny! I checked some other scarves I have not retextured yet and it appears that aside from the scarves that pull their textures from the "game's defaults", they are ALL shiny! http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206384674/FC82AE58712ACBEBA87FD2F1A021B77267434A86/ Even the male versions of the mod: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206385837/1DFD2C41F5D346F69F4AE0CD3458D083AD7B57D2/ The one above is one I recolored, and this is one I haven't touched yet: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206390921/7C093FDA7CC6199813FC2A50AC0B8CE982C75806/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/902108177206389802/F220B2359C790980F9DED8E2C4DB6BC0A8E8D39D/ it's really noticeable from the back, because it makes the scarves look like they're made of rubber or something :/ Any help you can give me/advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you very much!

Hello! I am looking for someone to please, please, please add sleeves and pants to the Savior's hide textures (? mesh?). I use Frostfall, and I can't justify setting it as it is now as even STANDARD weather protection, but if some of the skin were covered, it would be just perfect! http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/inkspottedtea/10151360/55267/original.jpg That is what my character looks like currently. Her arms and legs show wayyy too much for the frozen north, and I would desperately appreciate someone adding sleeves/tights that are of the dragonscale texture. I really like the look of the scales from the Dragon armors, and I think they would look good with what she's currently wearing. http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/inkspottedtea/10151360/55452/original.jpg I don't need them to look like actual pants or have the plates the actual armor does - just the areas of the Dragonscale armor that are closest to the body mesh's arms and legs would be fine. Just something to cover her up! (I do think that the chainmail sleeves on the original Savior's Hide are really cute, but I don't think they would look good with the dragonscale, so if they can't be salvaged I understand.) I super appreciate any help you can give me! Thank you very much in advance. x
