Yes, thank you, Valkasha. That was the mod I referred to above. A very nice mod indeed. But that is not what I am after. I look for a mod that can make the already existing spots available for the player, and not only the NPC's / followers.

How many mods did I test until now, and also removed or replaced again? I think almost a thousand if you coun't them all. There really is only one solution: Try them out. If you don't like them delete them again, and grab the next one. Maybe you will end up with adecent collection you can mark as favourites? It depends a lot on what you personally like. But hey, there's thousands of mods!

Don't laugh... Playing Skyrim for more than 1800 hours makes you get some ideas now and then. No other game has such beautiful sorroundings like Skyrim. Bethesda really made a nice job creating a world that feels almost real. Am I the only one who sometimes just take a walk in the landscapes because I like the nature scenery and the atmosphere? Standing tall looking at the mountains and the stary night? Letting your thoughts wander off? Well, it would be nice to be able to sit down. Really. I noticed followers can use invisible / inaccessible spots to relax at. Leaning against walls, sitting on a tree stump, or on the ledge of a cliff. Why can your own character not do this? It must be possible? I browsed and found the mod named 'Sit Anywhere' where you use spells to create sitting spots. But that is not exactly what I am at here. I'd like a mod that uses the already existing spots. I must be possible to make these relaxing spots available for the player as well?

I don't know if this is the right place to post it but I take a chance. I had a problem I just solved - somehow. I needed custom vampire eyes for my player characcter. I just started playing as a vampire. But my character's eyes went brown. Boring brown. Yawn...! I want to have glowing iceblue eyes, but keep the settings for every other NPC. In particularly I wanted to let Serana have her yellow original vampire eyes. I think they fit her well. As a warm brunette she needs warm glowing eyes. A "dragonborn" should neither have boring brown eyes nor glowing eyes like Serana. A dragonborn is special. More than the average vampire. It took me a couple of hours to solve it. Maybe others can use it as well Maybe there is a simpler way. Maybe it can be done easier. But this is the solution that works for me at least. I read somewhere that Serana uses the "eyevampire_01.dds" and your own player character uses the "eyevampire_02.dds". That lead me on the trail. 1. I installed "The Eyes Of Beauty" as my main mod a long time ago as it has a lot of cool eyes. I use the replacer package (The Eyes Of Beauty PLAYER Unleashed-13722-8-2). I contains textures, two folders named "cubemaps" and "effects" plus an *.esp. 2. Then I downloaded and grabbed the textures from "Underworld Dawnguard - Blue Vampire Version-22619-1-3" as it has the most smashing glowing iceblue textures I want. I copy it and overwrote the eyevampire_02.dds with the one already in the "eyes" folder: Skyrim\Data\Textures\actors\character\eyes\eyevampire_02.dds I now have the iceblue glowing eye textures in place. Then I delete the "eyevampire_01.dds" as Serana uses which is present i the same folder just above. The game will now use default textures and meshes for Serana. 3. Now I needed some meshes for my own character eyes. I found those in the same mod where I grabbed the textures from ("Underworld Dawnguard - Blue Vampire Version-22619-1-3"). and placed them as the mod would by install. I only used the two mesh files from this mod: "eyesfemalevampire.nif" and "eyesmalevampire.nif", located in this folder: Data\Meshes\actors\character\character assets\ I did NOT use the "Dawnguard.esm" folder from this mod (located here: Data\meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Dawnguard.esm). When I did Serana gets a dark/brown skin in her face and neck. 4. The last mod I installed was "Vampire Eyes Fix". It is only a single *.esp file. Just place it directly in your Data folder (Vampire Eyes Fix.esp) Load order from top: 1. The Eyes of Beauty 2. Vampire Eyes Fix Mods I used to get this result: 1. "The Eyes Of Beauty" by Gabriel Mailhot (The Eyes Of Beauty PLAYER Unleashed-13722-8-2): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13722/? 2. "Underworld Dawnguard - Vampire and Werewolf Eyes" by Anardion (Underworld Dawnguard - Blue Vampire Version-22619-1-3): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/22619/? 3. "Vampire Eyes Fix" by ZombieInc666: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3374/? Here are two screenshot to illustrate. As you can see my character has the iceblue glowing eyes and Serana still has her original yellow vampire eyes: http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t675/mushashi_suym/Skyrim/Skyrim_2014-07-14_026_zpsed17cc4b.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t675/mushashi_suym/Skyrim/Skyrim_2014-07-14_011_zps07dc5f0e.jpg

I've noticed these 'strechings' as well. You see this clearly when the characters are rising their arms into the air ( for example when they dance). The 'morph' is visible then. It also happens with vanilla outfits, but in this case its just significantly clear due to the contrast in the color mix. PS. Can't you just imagine it is hair in her armpits? :cool:

Did you try to search for them via the console? Move your self to this character: Player.moveto [the ID of the character]- and pres Enter For example: Player.moveto 0000A2094 (in this case Lydia) Your follower could be also be stuck somewhere? Try to summon/command this character next to you. Type in console: 1. prid [the ID of the character] - and pres Enter 2. moveto player - and pres Enter For example: prid 0000A2094 (in this case Lydia) moveto player

I can confirm that 'Feminine Females' works perfect. I started a new game last night, and Lydia is walking just like a fairie.

I just installed 'Feminine Females' and it seems to work fine. I installed it in the middle of a game. Lydia was already my housecarl. She did NOT change stance, but Jordis did. And she walks just beautiful. No gorilla arms or bulldog walking. Jordis became my housecarl AFTER I installed the mod. Someone wrote that you had to install this mod before you start a new game. It will not work for characters already appearing. It seems this person was right. I am not going to start up a new game today. But I have a feeling that it will also work on Lydia as well.

What if a guy is spending loads of time creating a georgeous wife or follower that does not have huge frontals and behind, but tries to create a character that appeals to him as a person? Is that a sign that tells his real life sucks? That he didn't find his dream partner? I don't see anything wrong in creating characters with huge frontals or whatever they look. Both sex and love is a part of our lives. But you probably mean games shouldn't contain these things, and most certainly not appeal to us? I did play Skyrim without any mods for a long time. By the third game I started to use mods, to change things a bit and make it more interesting and colorful. When I got Heartfire and Dwanguard I started to create a home. Just like you do in real life. It's a natural instinct. I began looking for a wife and adopted some children after building Lakeview and all was fine. Until I became bored with hearing the same comments from 'my family' over and over again. So, I began modding my wife. At least she could wear some more colorful and interesting dresses. And so it began. My 'wife' has several dresses and new haistyles, new face etc. And she also had silly huge frontals and a big but for a while, sexy lingerie etc. Now it is not quite a boring as before. And it will get boring when you have played the game 20 times. But with modding every game is different somehow. It is not the game that changes. It is you. The way you see things change. A big busted wife/follower might be a thing that gives some people a little extra kick. Who doesn't like to look at something you desire? But anyway. The looks of your characters is not the most important. It can never replace the basic gameplay and contents. Changing things has the same effect as buying new flowers for the livingroom. But it's still the same livingroom, isn't it? If it wasn't such a huge task to change the conversations and quests I'd say this was far more interesting. Maybe a 'beautiful woman' is a sign of someone getting bored?

Everything above 1000 hours is sick. I'm sick.

Removing a follower / invisible follower: I had this problem once. I wanted to hire Serana but I couldn't. There was no follwer by my side, and I didn't have a clue where he/she was. I searched the net and found a command to manually remove my (invisible) follower, whereever he/she was hiding: Clear followers and allows you to recruit again: set playerfollowercount to 0 Maybe you have to write like this, I don't remember: set playerfollowercount 0

A game like Skyrim appeals to something in some of us. In my case I was surprised how many thing you could do and change. Also by modding or using other peoples mods. The huge maps make you feel free in a total different world. A world where you can make a lot of things happen. Magic and exploring. This makes me want more. It is not enough. You get hungry for even more. Every time you change something the game looks different. Not just the what your eyes see but what happens inside your self. It is actually you who change. But the game gives you the opportunity to change and discover new things from new angles. The mods have been extremely inspiring for me. It made me play much longer than I would have done without them. I even began experimenting with modding my characters in NPC Editor (I know, but the CK is for nerds who has a lot more feel about this than I have. It is probably not so complicated when you get to know it...). I bought Skyrim before christmas and have now played about 1100 hours. I just started a new game yesterday. But I really would like to have more DLC's. Skyrim gives you the feeling of a large world, so I was disappointed when they told us there would be no more DLC's. Skyrim suddenly became smaller. Let's hope their next game in this series will be at least twice as big.

Thank you for replying, SavageArtistry. Yes, that is a way to do it. I have been thinking about this too. It would be easy enough. I was looking for a way to avoid making a mod. A way to insert the codes into the game without having to have a help-file. Mass Effect has an inbuild option where you can do this from game to game (onwards, not reversible to the first game though). It works pretty well. It is not perfect, but it works fairly well. Mass Effect also has save game editors that can import the face codes directly into the saved game files.

Yes, I admit. It has become a very bad experience to connect to the Skyrim file server the last days. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com//?) I get this message a lot: 502 Bad Gateway It seems as if the server is under pressure, because if you are patient and try many times you might get a correct respond. [Edit] I didn't see this message before now, posted on the front page: " News16 July 2013 0:38:56 DDoS season begins, sites a little bit unstableposted by Dark0ne Site NewsWe've been no strangers to bog-standard DoS attacks and thousands-strong botnet DDoS attacks over the past 12 years. Any given week we'll be DoS'd, just most of the time you won't notice it because systems are in place to prevent such attacks. Every once in a while, though, someone with a rather large botnet or someone using more sophisticated techniques comes along that either requires us to adapt or just to weather it out. All I know is, it's been 12 years, we've survived countless DDoS attacks, and the sites aren't going anywhere. Going hand-in-hand with that is the fact school holidays have begun which means kids have more time to waste. I used to enjoy playing football, cricket, skating and trampolining in my summer holidays but I guess some kids like to run bot nets instead. The why isn't really important (and I have no idea as to the why). All I know is that it's happening right now on the servers and we're doing what we can to alleviate the problem as best we can. There's not much you can do on your end to fix this exact problem. There is, however, something you can do to help the general DDoS plague and that's to not be one of the millions of dolts out there browsing the internet without an anti-virus and firewall running as a bare minimum. Botnets form because "hackers" have gained access to insecure systems. The more insecure systems they control, the more powerful their botnet becomes. Typically gamers are more clued in than most in this regard, but still, I know some of you will be reading this without any anti-virus installed on your PC and to you I'll simply say this; you are a part of the problem. You're not the problem, but you're a part of it in the same way you're a part of the problem during an epidemic if you sneeze without covering your mouth with your hand or don't wash your hands after going to the toilet. You're in that group of people. You aren't the virus but you help to spread it through your lack of action. So get on to fixing it if you haven't already, or at least please don't complain to me about the sites being down if you're in that group. A blunt news post, I know, but in all truth I treat DDoS attacks with utter emotional disregard. Not that we're not trying our hardest to solve the issue, but frankly, there's no point getting upset about it. Some idiot is DDoS'ing us and cowering behind the internet's anonymity, we've had no contact from said individual(s), it'll end when it ends or when we find a way to block it and there's no point getting upset about it."

You have fiddled with a facecode for a long time. You think this character looks just perfect - or at least is one you have become attached to somehow. Now you want to start up a brand new game from scratch. There is just one problem: Your player character doesn't look like the one you liked and played with before. So, you fiddle with the sliders for hours, but it only gets familiar. Then you search the net and discovers you can export the face code with a simple command: SPF [character name] Nice! Well..., yes. But where to use it then? Skyrim has no import function, and you can't edit a save game to insert the code. There is no savegame editor for Skyrim. Hm... It's really nice that you are able to export the code. But isn't it a bit pointless when you can't use it? Does anyone have a solution to this? How do you get an exact face code BACK into a game?

Yes, they do make the armors with parts of skin. Looks awful some times. It also keeps you from using mods like CBEE properly. But then again, if the armor should fit any model/character it would probably bee too big a task. Glad to hear you found a solution.

Probably not. But if you're no professor it comes in handy. It's easy to use. You can't tell me the Creation Kit is easy to use and getting a grip at?

No, nothing usefull. I had the same problem two days ago installing the 'ApachiiSkyHair NPC Overhaul by Spewed - Female Only Version' and 'ApachiiSkyHair NPC Overhaul by Spewed - Human Female Only Version'. Every second character got the grey faces. I then installed all the textures he suggested and provided ('Color Mismatch Fix for Elven races' and 'Color Mismatch Fix for Humans and Bretons'). It helped on the faces, but the forehead on every second character suddenly had a miscmasch. Some where red, some green and some just pale. I had to remove the mod, although I found it great. The grey face problem occoured yesterday when I was fiddling with my Yzolda character. I wanted the face of Lisette. I did it before, and the first time I did it the hard way and wrote down Lisettes face codes manually, and then inserted them in Yzoldas character, because I couldn't find her face code in the list (I was dumb. Yzolda is a Nord Race). But it worked fine. There was no neck gap. I played with her for a long time. Last night I wanted her to have a new Apachii hair style. I was sitting for a while and looking at the different option and found out Lisette was a Breton Race. So, I grabbed her facecode for Yzolda and a new hair style. And I got the face gap and grey face... Fiddling with it today I did what seemed logical: I had to strech the graphics to cover this gap. The only way I could do this was to increase her weight. I changed her body to Breton race, moved the weight bar to the top (100) and scaled it to 1,20. The neck gap is gone. My suspicion is that it is the sizing of the textures that matters. If you have a grey face it is because 'it does not get the same amount of light' as the rest of the body because it is a diffent size? The measurements have to be exactly the same as the rest of the body I think. But how to accomplis that manually? Maybe is you fiddle a bit with the size of her head in the NPC Editor? I solve mine today in connection with my face gap problem. http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t675/mushashi_suym/Skyrim/Yzolda7_NPCEditor_zps4a1a90fe.jpg I can't really see the difference in her weight. It looks the same to me.

The site is a bit busy at times I think. I get some pauses now and then, but it usually comes back in a couple of seconds.

I had the same problem yesterday when I was fiddling with my Yzolda character. It puzzled me.

I ran a system memory test this morning. My system RAM is fine. I decided to removed my graphics card and put it back in. Just to be sure. Then I installed the drivers again (Clean Install). I launched Skyrim and was able to play for about ten minutes without problems. This time even with high resolution textures and all the mods I used before with my GTX 560. I Launched 3DMark and ran the 'Fire Strike' (incl. demo). Again my graphics driver failed after a minute or so. I had to terminate the process via Task Manager. I didn't give up and started the 'Cloud Gate' test. This time all went well. Demo and test succeeded. I guess 'Fire Strike' is too heavy for my PC? I assume the problem is solved. I can only wait and see. Here is what 3DMark returned of the 'Global Gate' test: Score: 14028 Graphics score: 33805 Physics score: 4603 Graphics test 1: 141.95 Graphics test 2: 152.38 Physics test: 14.62 This is my system info: GRAPHICS CARD Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Vendor: Unknown (is eVGA) # of cards: 1 SLI / CrossFire: Off Memory: 2.048 MB Core clock: 549 MHz Memory clock: 3.004 MHz Driver name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Driver version: 9.18.13.1422 PROCESSOR Processor: Intel Core i5-3450 Processor Processor clock: 3.492 MHz Physical / logical processors: 1 / 4 # of cores: 4 Package: LGA 1155 Manufacturing process: 22 nm TDP: 77 W GENERAL Operating system: 64-bit Windows 7 (6.1.7601) Motherboard: Intel Corporation DH77KC Memory: 8.192 MB Module 1: 4.096 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz Module 2: 4.096 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz Hard drive model: 1.000 GB ST1000DM003-9YN162 ATA Device Thanks for your help, Georgiegril. Yoy pointed me in the right direction. Mush

Hi, Georgiegril No, don't worry, I bought a whole 8 GB Kingston Hyper RAM kit (DDR3), and put the old 4 GB on my bookshelf to rot. Yes, they are cheap. Everything worked just fine with the GeForce 560 i had before. I never had any issue with Skyrim or any other game at all. Now I have problems with all games. I play The Witcher 2 as well. Same problem. I did have some problems when installing the graphics drivers from the beginning. I express installed from the disc without uninstalling the old ones, and then the PC would only run 800 x 600 resolution in Windows. Ok, that can happen sometimes, so I uninstalled the these drivers (via the uninstall but also from the Control Panel/Remove Program) and downloaded the newest from the NVIDIA homepage. It helped. Now I could have 1440 x 900 resolution in Windows as normal. But my games are totally screwed up. Playing with high detailled textures in Skyrim is not posible. It is totally unplayable and gives me a noisy color mish-mash. There are blue pixelations and FPS drop (mouse lag). I can't play for very long with the normal resolution textures either. After a minute or so the problems occours. In The Withcer 2 my game even frezees - not the sound though, so I am sure it is a graphics problem. I get a black screen for a couple of seconds and the lag continues. It feels as if it is some kind of bottleneck, because I can start up a game normally. My problems arrives after aprox. 1 minute of play. It is as if my PC has eaten too much and needs a short break. But after the break it is so exhausted it can't really go on. If you get my picture. I also get a message when returning to Windows desktop that said 'my grahpics driver had stopped working'. I installed the card my self. Made sure it was in place. If it gets power enough? The old card had two power sockets, this one only has one, so I assume it doesn't need more power than the old one? Running 3DMark gave me no answers but more questions. I tested my system with the 'Fire Stike' and 'Cloud Gate' test. The message rurned was to contact their support. The tests starts and after a minute it crashed to desktop after a black screen. It returned the following message: "Unexpected error running tests. Workload work failed with error message: Process exited unexpectedly" plus this result: "Problem receiving your result Error message: Result file contained no scores. If this problem persists and you cannot resolve it, contact Futuremark Support with this error information. Error code : 16 (problem id: 15500217)"

OMG! That was obviously not a good idea. I just bought an eVGA GeForce GTX 660 with 2 GB RAM, and now my game gives me sudden black screens and drops FPS after that. With my old GeForce GTX 560 (Poi Of View) I had no problems at all. This is really wierd as these upgrades should give a much better performance. I did have some problems by installing the card drivers from the beginning. I think it was because I just express installed the driver disc. The PC would only run 800 x 600 resolution, and very blurry with yellow spots. I uninstalled the drivers and downloaded the newest from the NVIDIA homepage. It helped in general, but not while running Skyrim. I made sure the new card is set to 'Maximum Performance' in the power supply options. Everything worked just fine with the GeForce 560. I never had any issue with Skyrim at all. Neither any mod. Now it feels like Skyrim has become sensitive. Installing high detailled textures is totally unplayable and gives me a noisy color mish-mash. There are blue pixelations and FPS drop (mouse lag). I removed 'Vurt's Flora Overhaul' as it seemed this caused some conflicts. It helped a bit. But there is still problems. I can't play very long. As soon as I go outside the problems start. I removed all mods but the problem is still there. After a short while the game starts lagging, I get a black screen for a couple of seconds and the lag continues. If I fast travel or go inside a house the problem is gone. I've been searching the net. Some says it could the a bottleneck, other that the settings are set too high and I should try to lower them. I just get more confused of all these posible solutions.

Did you try to move to his location? player moveto [iD NUMBER]

Stupid question maybe, but I've played Skyrim for more than 1.000 hours now. I just love all the mods. That's what's turns the game into something extra. So, when looking at some of all these mods I can imagine some people have quite the hardware for it. Some of the overhauls demands pretty much, and if you have many you need some power to keep up framerate and resolution. If you also run the high detailled texture pack, well... I have some framerate issues and 'freeze breaks' now and then after I started using lots of mods. My game crashes when it uses aprox. 1,4 GB RAM. I'm simply asking if you think I have enough hardware or should upgrade to get a better performance. Is it needed? Double the system RAM and buy a GeForce GTX 660? Just for information I have an Intel Core i5-3450 CPU 3.1 GHz x4 @ 64 bit (Model DH77KC) 8 GB RAM GeForce GTX 560 Windows Experience Index rates it CPU: 7,5 RAM: 7,7 Graphics: 7,7 Game graphics: 7,7 Primary HD: 5,7
