binaryme Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Just repeating a question I've asked over at the teseyecandy forums, but seems everyone is asleep over there :) Basically, I've created a CM Partner and set her up as a new race so that I could give her customised meshes and textures. Everything is fine, or at least it was until I came across this warning on TES CS Wiki (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Creating_a_new_race): "Important warning note: Making any changes at all to eyes and hairs, even adding new ones in a new race, will make your mod incompatible with other mods that do so. Main culprits include Ren's Beauty Pack, Capucine's Eye Textures, and the Cosmetic Compilation (which contains both of the above). The creators of that mod generally will give permission for you to merge their mods with yours if you give them credit, so don't hesitate to contact them about this option. Alternately, you can warn modders to use Tes4Plugin to merge all their appearance mods when using yours. Either way, you should always, ALWAYS give a compatibility warning in your readme if you add new eyes and hair." Is this just referring to the fact that if I add, for example, only an eye texture, it may conflict with an altered mesh from, e.g. Ren's Beauty Pack? I can't see why there would be a conflict if I include both meshes and textures in my own race for the partner? Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maigrets Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 You are correct. If you have folders within your race mod exclusively using the eye textures and meshes for your race only, there shouldn't be any problems. I have three race mods. Two use the default human eye mesh and one uses Elaborate eyes. For the EE eyes I included the meshes as well, so there is no incompatibility with the vanilla eye meshes or Ren's. I also have my own merged mod using Cosmetic Compilation for vanilla races and NPC's and I have the esp active as well as whichever race I'm playing at the time. It includes Ren's, eyelashes, lots of other eyes and other hair besides Ren's hair. I have never had the googly eye or missing eye issue using this method.
