Skyrim SE port for Acalypha - Fully voiced follower?

[jetkast]

Was wondering if it would be possible to make a SSE port for Acalypha - Fully voiced follower

I just remembered having it installed on Oldrim way back and noticed that it wasn't available for SSE :sad:

I don't know how the port process works at all, I would expect that permission is needed?

Education on that fact would be highly apricated xD

From mod's permissions and credits section:

Author's instructions
I DON'T GIVE ANY PERMISSIONS!
YOU CAN'T USE ANY ASSETS FROM THIS MOD!
DO NOT REUPLOAD IT!

And in description:

NO SSE! I DON'T HAVE A PERMISSION FOR ARMOR ASSETS.
PLEASE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND. I DON'T WANT GET A BAN HERE BECAUSE OF THIS.
IF YOU NEED SSE VER. - PORT HER ONLY FOR YOUR OWN GAMEPLAY!!

Thus endeth the discussion.

What you can try doing: manually download the Oldrim mod, unpack it, run its meshes/textures through CAO, repack and install in SSE - see if that works.

Confirmed.

Manually downloaded.

Used 7Zip to uncompress the .rar.

Used Cathedral Assest Optimizer on the extracted directory.

SSE Profile, set meshes to 'Full optimization', 'always process headparts' and 'resave meshes' both checked, 'Necessary optimization' on textures.

Re-compressed the directory.

Dropped into Vortex to install. (Running Skyrim AE 1.6.353)

Did not go to place where she is supposed to be, just used player.placeatme to summon her.

She seems to work ok, no crashes/glitches, custom dialogue and voice works, and I received her initial quest.

 

 

 

I tried out her alternate outfits using equipitem. Seem to work fine.

 

 

 

Body type is definitely UNP, works well with UNP outfits.

 

 

 

Not so much with CBBE - gets wrist/ankle gaps. Should be fairly easy to convert though.

Whoa, thanks a bunch for the tips!

I totally failed to notice the statements on the mod's page, but of course respect the content creators wishes.
I'll give your solution a go :)
