    Permissions issue when installing CBBE

    in Vortex Support

    Posted

    Same problem here and something I wanted to overcome in a hurry as I was doing a new installation of mods and have quite a few that depend on CBBE being loaded. So I downloaded Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer manually and copied all the textures, meshes and tools I needed into a separate file along with CBBE.esp which I then dropped into the Fallout 4 data folder. I then installed all the dependent mods with no problem. I noticed that when Vortex installed a dependent mod that overwrote a file I had installed manually it created a backup (eg. FemaleBody_s.dds.vortex_backup ) which will make it easy to clean up later.

    @mexichan: I switched to Vortex Alpha for Fallout 4 and Fallout NewVegas and didn't have any problems whatsoever. I must admit that I found it better to download the mods from Nexus rather than try to install from file from the NMM directories - but that's a doddle especially if you have unrestricted download speeds from being a Premium Member. I don't like the dashboard front end but that could be because I'm still happy with Windows 7 on a desktop and don't appreciate all the flat screen Windows 10 stuff. The big plus points I get from Vortex are:
    1) I have 22GB less on my SSD C;/ Drive for Fallout 4 compared with the same 191 mods installed with NMM.
    2) I get easy to deal with notifications when one mod needs to be loaded before or after another rather than all that individual overwrite this file stuff with NMM.
    3) I don't have to keep reinstalling mods to modify the load order.
    Just my tuppence worth.....

    One little niggle is that I can't seem to find a way to search the mod list for something like "better" or "CBBE". It's a real pain going through the entire list to find something I can't remember the exact name for.

    That's a feature I REALLY REALLY LOVE and use a LOT in NMM, because trying to find one mod in a huge list can be daunting, so it was really nice to be able to start typing in the name of the mod and have the mod list automatically reduce itself the more letters you typed in, until it zeroed in on the mod you were trying to find.

If you know the full name of the mod, you can type that in to move quickly to that one particular mod. Since I never did use the mod search function in NMM, I don't know if the search function in Vortex is as refined as that in NMM. However, the Vortex search function is adequate enough for me to find mods pretty quickly.


    Okay got it now. You first need to go to SETTINGS and set "Enable advanced mode“. Then you get a search box in the header row of the MODS screen.

    [WIP] Belua Sanguinare Revisited

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    I'm having a problem with 'Blink' at Master level. If I equip the spell as dual wield it works but then I can't see my hands or equipped items anymore. Any suggestions?

     

    Is this using 1.2.5? I no longer use calls to SetAlpha so I'm somewhat surprised but.... does this only happen when you dual wield? The spell wasn't designed to be dual wielded so that might be part of the problem. I'll disable dual wielding the spell.

     

    As a side note, I have noticed with Mist Form that this happens occassionally (you get stuck in transparent state) due to some issue with the engine. Saving the game actually triggers a fix in that case...just don't save over your quick save or something in case it doesn't help.

    Yes, I was using 1.2.5 and Yes it does only happen with dual wield. I was using dual wield to try and get a little extra distance but it seems that all I was getting was see-through arms and weapons. Thanks for your response.. and the great mod! I had all but stopped playing Skyrim until I came across Belua Sanguinare. Can't wait to see what you come up with to enhance Dawnguard. Cheers!
