Yeah this is not something that one just "does" real quick. You are in 3DSMax levels of territory, aka no sane way to do something like this in Skope etc. Would need to basically rebuild the skin for each hair you want to do this for. Then there is adding the physics components which you would probably want to look for detailed guides and possibly a discord server etc to get some pointers. Sadly none of this is even close to beginner-friendly and very time consuming even for those that know how to do it

Just tested and yeah changing skin will visually update if you do UpdateWeight() after setting skin. Sorry on the AR BR I skim a lot and assumed you were talking about armor terms lol

The torch component would be particularly quirky to pull off. If SKSE was in play, you could registerforcontrol upon entering a trigger area near the wood or root or whatnot, and when block is hit, aka you nudging your torch, and x distance away, that could be detected. But you could well maybe have an animation to listen for, which would not need SKSE Previous me from a couple years ago would prolly solve this really well for you lol. Used to spend way too much time with Papyrus and I enjoy solving things with out of the box thinking. Sadly I dont believe there is really an exact method that will fully encompass every feature you are wanting for this project. I like where your imagination is though

Prolly would want to use XEdit here Make the aliases. Eat the long names for a moment until they are all created. Save and close CK and touch up names etc in XEdit. Lot faster, albeit will need to be done manually. As for preventing this annoyance entirely, not so much. Could well be a nifty XEdit script out there to streamline this but yeah kinda just one of those things templates are good to keep around for

Helpful reply edit. If you want this you could make a staff with no 3d aka just a blank object that will not be seen. Give it no enchant. Equip it forever in the hand you want to not do anything. When you attempt to use the staff it wont do anything since no charge and no melee attack available. The only real visual quirk would be you still "draw" it but imo it would look less bad than fists up Empty

Could use a formlist with all the valid spells that qualify for the criteria. And do a HasForm() call to check for a hit

I know what you are aiming to do, and yeah at times I want the same thing, to not worry with a swarm of texture sets Use Nifskope for this. Take meshes you want to reroute textures for and do it there in the shader properties in skope Very quick and easy once you see how. Just have to get acquainted with that app

SKSE functionality is not supported for consoles And sorry if I misunderstood something

My blueprints mod does this and is literally all it does. LE only tho I dont have ez access to SSE atm Aside, this is pretty basic to do anyway. Make a headpart record in a plugin. Point it to the high poly head nif and tri. In your follower's nif file 00000999 whatever.nif file you need to edit (nifskope) the name of the head to match whatever you called it in the ck Dont need the races and chargen tris. This sounds harder than it is. If you have the gen mesh, this is a trivial issue regarding semantics

Updating skin is instant with a NiOverride script call, either NiNodeUpdate or perhaps UpdateWeight, been a while but yes it can be instant, just an extra step. AR BR.... Armor Rating and Block Rating would be my assumption

Disclaimer I skimmed and just giving the no bs solution to what appears to be your issue Your woes are in the .nif and dds gen files. You don't need the ck. Just Racemenu or ECE. Sculpt whatever paints and blemishes you want, then export that face. In your case you only need the dds file. Rename that dds file to be their facegen aka 00000D62.dds or whatever. Adjust skin tone here too to blend. This is what the game cares about for paints and such, and you can get something way more custom sculpting in game with mods vs using the CK here

For dragons they either are on foot, or are orbiting in the air. Really not much middle ground there. If above sugg doesnt work out, there are some out of the box workarounds are on the table. Like to make him a non-dragon race, and use a dragon visual effect with a dragon graph. Been too long since I messed with that, but yeah there are some options for you to get what you want here. Just may take some tinkering

Roll back to a save before the mod exists. Or test on a new game. Seq file is all about quests situation on mod install so to change that after the fact might give some problems

Not in Skyrim. Quite a few CK elements are dormant for this game Relationships between non-player entities, as far as I am aware offhand, only really benefit for dialogue conditions, and maybe AI package usage. Really tbh I have found the relationships are built for RP reasons more than anything. From observation

Another way that would work, if you have issues, is SetSkin() function. To visually apply the change may require a ninode or weight update. One downside here is you would need a reload routine vs if equip a skin. Only if the other suggestion gives you issues, should you explore this one

If I recall that is due to the behavior graph, so the easiest way to bypass the graph issue is to make a new one. Copy the hkx and use it in FNIS or Nemesis, and the animation can be invoked on demand, and won't have the camera side effects Might be other simpler solutions too, like setting camera target to someone else first, etc, but above will likely do what you want

So you have a pre-rigged 3d character model you want to integrate into Skyrim. Very possible but def not something you just "do" easily One approach would be to tailor the current rig to work with human skeleton. This would just require nifskope and a lot of patience playing with nodes. The other would entail 3D model adaptation in 3dsmax. Possibly outfit studio. Point being you have your work cut out for you if you want this

You basically need two magic effects and two projectiles. The other one will kick in for actual impacts and can drop a scripted explosion or activator, aka your trigger in that situation. Been a while so little fuzzy on the details, but yeah two MGEFs to have that coverage

Um... six years. So you are one of those people

To get an instant update which ofc would be wanted in combat etc, there are a few tricks to do it. What I do is add and remove a gold piece via script. Prolly other ways too but yeah just one of the many situations a workaround is called for

Kind of a troubleshoot situation then. Try just placing one and setting alias to that, without a spell cast involved. See if it obeys AI then. Beyond that I would imagine a condition is in play keeping AI package/s from being followed. Like with a commanded actor, I do not believe they are considered teammate. So if IsTeammate is a condition somewhere the package would fail, for example

There are several Game.Find calls you could use. But that is only reliable if only one ref is present which uses that actorbase Form NPCBaseWeWantToFind ObjectReference SummonedRef = Game.FindClosestReferenceOfTypeFromRef(NPCBaseWeWantToFind,akCaster,2048.0) What might be better, is if you know all the actorbase records you are dealing with, you can attach a script to their actorbase to listen for events. So like OnDying() you can have that actor relay that info then Outside of all of this, for multiple summons you can give yourself a perk. You can duplicate the twin souls perk and give it a higher cap

Some nifs use a controller manager, and other nifs simply use unmanaged controllers under the node they are for. If the former, you need a controller behavior graph. If using a graph, and also have unmanaged controllers in that nif, those wont work in-game, meaning you cannot blend managed and unmanaged in a nif and expect them all to work If your two nifs happen to use the same graph, you could blend controller managers, but that is a pain and very easy to screw up. Otherwise you could convert the sequences to not be manager-controlled, and that too can be easy to mess up and is very time consuming. All of this is not very documented anywhere from what I have seen. At one point I got very familiar with this stuff and had a process when I wanted something like you do, but yeah its not something easily explained I guess, and I would probably struggle with this since its been so long You might want to explore playing a visual effect via script when armed, for additional effects. Just a suggestion for an easier route

Been a while since I had issues with AI conflict, but try making the Quest priority a lower number, like a single digit. If I recall, lower number means higher AI priority. Just a suggestion, to rule out that possibility

Be very sure the root node is not BSFadeNode. You will incur ctd on equip if it isnt NiNode. Also make sure there are no custom nodes in use, if your skeleton does not have them. Last thing is make sure all nodes are mapped, no blanks in the skin data area Aside from above, if still issues, run the nifs through NifOptimizer to convert to LE, then convert right back to SSE. It does not only covert. It also "handles" a lot of miscellaneous not-ideal settings too which can be very handy
