I have not found any reneweable dirty water. Perhaps that's something someone can make a mod for? Like let you stick a tin can into any lake or river to collect.

I do not get black borders/backgrounds on mip maps if I use DXT1 or DXT5 compression. But those leaves parts of the face a pixelated mess so I can't use them. Anyone know how to get transparent mip map borders using the 8.8.8 RGB 24bit setting (in Photoshop)? Image to show what I am talking about: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/Siska/Elder%20Scrolls/BlackMipMaps2_zps6e4a13cd.jpg On the left there is the transparent background but it was done with DXT1 so the quality is too poor to use. On the right I used 8.8.8 RGB 24bit which is the quality I need but then the borders turn black. *EDIT* after poking around and trying different things I found that using 8.8.8.8 ARGB 32 bpp unsigned setting has the transparent background settings, like in the original file. Perhaps the creator misremembered when they told me to use 8.8.8 RGB 24bit. Or it could still be that there is some obscure setting that I don't know.

*EDIT* Scratch that.

Is that the latest Nvidia DDS plugin or are you using an old version? Is this the correct one? --> https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

So apparently 8.8.8 RGB 24bit is what is best for face normal maps. It comes with Photoshop but I don't seem to have that option in Gimp. Or at least the DDS plugin I am using doesn't. Is there a solution to this?

Thank you! I tried DX1 compression and it atleast looks right when I open it again with gimp. So as long as it looks fine in the game I guess I'll go with that one. Unless someone has a reason for the others being preferred?

I am making some alterations to dark elf face textures using Gimp. I open the file, un-checked open mipmap layers, make my changes (save the file as an .xcf, in case I ever want to start over), flatten image and select export as femalehead_msn.dds. And this is as far as I've gotten. I'm not sure what export settings I should use: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/Siska/Elder%20Scrolls/DDSMipMaps_zps611b4111.jpg First try I went with default settings, didn't even select generate mipmaps. And, of course the resulting DDS had no mipmaps. Second time, I selected generate mipmaps but changed nothing else (exactly like the image above) and I got mipmaps but with black backgrounds instead of transparent. Can someone please help me with this, what settings should I change and to what? For a face texture, if that matters.

In response to post #16746394. Steam is having another Elder Scrolls sale right now, btw. So probably wont see any dip in traffic the next few days.

I am having a similar issue and I've also tried and un-istalled Etherial Elven Overhaul (with NMM) because the mod caused an odd eye seam problem. Has anyone found a fix for this? *Edit* Found the cause of the problem in my game. SG Female Texture Renewal. While this mod doesn't cover elf races it still affects them.

I've been adding several things this last week. Downloaded an ENB, followed by adjusting several little things to improve my frame rate over several days. Framrate is now good but somewhere along the way waterfalls, splashes and surface foam have taken a solid grey color. Not sure when it happened as wasn't keeping an eye on waterfalls as I was changing things. I'm hoping it's something easy to adjust in SkyrimPrefs or something but I also ran SMCO (a texture optimizer). I already tried removing and re-adding W.A.T.E.R. and the problem remained. I also tried turning ENB off to see if that was causing it and it wasn't. Anyone have any idea where I can fix this in some settings or what file I should restore from my back up to fix this?

Female Elves have an ugly rash around their mouth in my game. All 3 vanilla races. I use several mods. Full Mod list in the next post but the ones I would think are most relevant to this are Dimonized UNP, No More Blocky Faces and Less Harsh Elves. I also use SG Female Texure Renewal. That one doesn't affect elves but I guess it could explain why the human races don't have the rash. Image of the problem on a Dark Elf Famke Janssen lookalike: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/Siska/Elder%20Scrolls/Lipproblem_zps048892a3.jpg The rash does not change color with the lips but it does grow and shrink as I fiddle with lip fullness. It also become more noticeable with some skin tones. How can I fix this? With Texture blender?

I would like a follower mod based on vampire Eli from the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In (Based on a novel by John Ajvide Lindquist. There is also an English remake of the film, called Let Me In, with a different actress playing Eli. I prefer the look of Eli in the first, Swedish language film. IMDb Link --> http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1205833216/tt1139797?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_prd_14 Both film were available on Netflix, they might still be. I recommend watching them! Especially the Swedish version (has subtitles) if you are interested in making this mod (or google image it). Suggestion for the Mod Eli is an androgynous vampire who looks like a 12 year old girl, not a sexy vampire.Dark, slightly curly shoulder-length hair. Nothing too silky in texture. She is suppose to look rather neglected and rugged.Sporting the dark rings around the eyes "hollow-eyed" look. No make-up other then what's needed to make her more pale and creepy looking.Thin and pale. NO Breasts.Not a child. Children in Skyrim are too small to pass for a 12 year old. Plus generic child face is generic. I think Breton race would be a good starting point as they look rather childish. "Just" make her a little over shoulder height of the standard Breton female and flat chested (and thin). Don't know if there are any flat chested female body mods out there. UNP Slim body might work with the breast slider at 0 (I haven't tried it). Have her use the games child voice though.Her dress should be a long white nightdress (robe). Not too frilly. No cleavage (again, not a sexy vampire). Also wears a hooded white cloak. She uses the hood outdoors during the day (like Serana). Barefoot.Powers. Full arsenal of vampire powers, of course. Uses spells like raise dead, paralyze and whatever mind control spells works well for followers. Good at sneaking and light footed (does not set off traps). Film-Eli was very sneak attacky, due to her small size. Does this game's AI do backstabs well? If so have her specialize in the proper perks (like assassins blade) for sneaking up and stabbing people with a dagger. If the AI is a dud for backstabbers, just have her specialize in bows.Is essential (unkillable).Found in Whiterun. During the day she stands in the shade outside the front door of Belethor's General Goods. At night she roams around the city. If possible have her not assist during vampire attacks, unless she's recruited.Is fine with crime, murder and cannibalism!That is all I can think of right now. Rather tall order as it is. Probably a long shot but hopefully someone feels the inspiration!

I dislike how magic staffs work in Skyrim. Recharging them feels very clunky. Compared to bows they feel very lackluster. So I though it would be nice if they worked more like bows, with ammo. Craftable on enchanting benches using filled soul stones, of course. When equipped they are used as you shoot with your staff with normal attacks. Heavy attack could possibly work like before, or simply use 5 magic ammo at once. Another things that would be nice is if you could have different effectiveness. Like ammo made from grand soul gems adds 90% damage bonus while those made from petty gems add 0 . But if that's not possible, just have grand gems make a stack of 100 ammo while petty only creates 1 at a time (all the other soul gems fall somewhere in between). The visible portion of these magic ammos I think should be a small transparent glass bottle with a dim glow inside it (purple default, more colors optional). When equipped the bottle should be hanging from the hip, or simply not visible at all. Perhaps they are stored where all my 100 herbs and 17 random pieces of looted armor go.

This is a vanilla armor replacement request for just helmets and hats. Because I want a headpiece that doesn't mess with my hair or the hair of my followers, but rather is placed directly on top of the skull underneath the hair (including hair mods). And also replaces the hemets of all NPCs. Perferably with an installer were you can check/uncheck helmets you do and do not want replaced. So if you, for instance want town guards to keep using helmets you just uncheck that type. Or if you like the hood style head gear, keep all those unchecked. Every type of helmet doesn't neccecarily need it's own unique headband, of course. Different types of leather style helmets (leather, light stormcloak etc) can have the same headband look, for example.

I found the conflict, the dropbox crash happens when I have both the NVEC and Mission Mojave plugins enabled. Since they are both very popular mods there must be some way to fix it?

Clicking Mojave Express Dropbox makes my game crash if I have Mission Mojave plugin enabled. Opening other containers does not seem to be a problem. But it's a new game on a fresh install and I haven't even traveled beyond Goodsprings yet, so there might be other problems out there. When I played Fallout the last time (6 months ago) I think I had Mission Mojave installed, as far as I can recall, but there were NO drop box related crashes, so I'm hoping it's something minor I overlooked and easy to fix, like load order or a patch. Any load order or mod conflicts? Or should I perhaps use a different version of Mission Mojave?

As far as I know I don't have a FNVEdit merge patch, so that doesn't help me.

So I started the game over and I noticed something. In the beginning the game is pretty stable. Can play uninterrupted for hours. But as I progress I start to crash more and more. Anyway to fix this? What's weird is that it's not happening while in combat. No, it's usually when I'm roaming around or even when just standing still. If it's going to keep getting worse it will soon be unplayable. I've made some mod changes since the first post. Most notably I got rid of POCO BUENO texture pack and added Mission Mojave, but some other changes too. New Mod Load List: Any suggestions on changing my load order, adding or removing a particular mod to improve things would be appreciated!

I installed the game of steam just a week ago and it randomly freezes or crash when I play. Sometimes it happens after only 10 minutes, other times I can play for hours. I would say it happens about once every 30 minutes on average. Usually it's a freeze (frozen screen, game wont respond, I close it with task manager) but sometimes it will crash straight to desktop. Other than that there are no odd graphical or sound clitches when it freezes/crashes. It mostly happens when running/walking/sneaking around, but sometimes when loading a new area, too. I've only crashed once while in combat. My Desktop Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 My mods installed and are running just fine (once I figured out how) as far as I can tell. Installed with Nexus Mod Manager, when possible. Manually when not. Mod list: I know Fallout is not the most stable game (heck I would frequently crash it on XBox), but I'm hoping something can be done, as it is close to being too anoying to play right now. I have tried turning off Nevada skies, Interior Lighting Overhaul and Poco Bueno but it made no difference.

Is there a way to turn off the graphics for hats and helmets? They tend to make my downloaded hair styles look pretty terrybad. I could not find any obvious way in the interface so I'm hoping that someone has made a mod to help with bad helmet hair.
