ZachKnife1008 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Hello everyone! I've decided to start working on a personal modded setup of Skyrim based on STEP, and I intend on adding Maty743's Bosmer Armor Pack to it, having been inspired by his work on the Creation Club. However, I'm aware of some issues that plague the mod to this day, such as bloat and compatibility issues. As a result, I've decided to make a personal fork to (hopefully) rectify these issues, as well as modernizing the technical aspects of it. Here are some of my notes after inspecting it in xEdit: Why are there duplicate records that are labeled as such internally? I want to remove them since they aren't used by anything, but my gut is telling me that they might be load-bearing. As a result, I'm refraining from removing them until I can verify whether that is the case or not. I can probably convert the changes it makes to vanilla records to SkyPatcher, but I'm unsure on how to do this (or if it's even practical). The mod makes Angi a Bosmer instead of a Nord. I'm 100% sure that this qualifies as bloat. Likewise, I would like to reimplement this as a separate mod relying on Bosmer Armor Pack that makes her a Bosmer/Nord hybrid instead of just a Bosmer. Ideally, I would like to collaborate with SassiestAssassin to redesign her accordingly. Another bit of bloat I've identified is that it adds a new female Bosmer Hireling called Larethia to Falkreath. Like the shenanigans with Angi, I would like to implement this as a separate mod that depends on Bosmer Armor Pack. I would also like to give her new dialogue, as she just recycles Jenassa's voice lines currently. The mod hasn't implemented support for Survival Mode officially, and probably never will, since it hasn't been updated in years. Currently, I've hit a roadblock in the form of me being unsure on where to begin, or how to do any of this stuff. Will any of you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
