Hello again,

Question 1: I want some weapons to have Gold as material but "WeapMaterialGold" is not in the keywords list and it seems there is no way to create a own keyword. Is this even possible to do?

 

Question 2: My gold weapons are heavy. I would like to give them more damage at the cost of speed. Like instead of 1,0000 my speed would be 0,6000. Is there any downside, technicaly?

 

Answer 1: Yes, I know gold is not a good material for a sword! :P

You can create new keywords in the Creation Kit (more info - video). But for purposes of crafting you might need to utilize an existing keyword too. That said, there is a way to customize a crafting category (https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Customizing_Crafting_Categories). Some mods do this so there could be conflict.

 

As far as #2, the only downside might be balance. And that is something you'd just have to fiddle with till you are satisfied with the behavior.

Again, thank you very much Ishara!

Hello Ishara, :)

maybe you can tell me (how to add an only visual magic effect on a chest, (like from an enchanted weapon). Using Nifskope, changing textures wouldn't be a problem (if i would know what to change) or could i add this effect to the mesh in CK?

Sorry, that is something that I do not know how to do.

Hey guys,

Quick question, hopefully a quick answer.

I bought Skyrim from Steam maybe a year or two ago, it came with DLC's (Dawnguard etc.) and I always assumed it was the SE, but apparently it isn't? (According to my .exe file)
Any ideas why that would be? I believe I once had the Unofficial mod to fix bugs installed last time via a different mod manager, but Vortex tells me that I have the wrong game.

I have no idea, first time modder.

Cheers

@JPTRI you can use a script to play an effect shader on an object. Something like this:

Scriptname TM_ObjectRefScript extends ObjectReference 

EffectShader Property MyEffect Auto 

Event OnInit() 
    If Self.Is3DLoaded()
        MyEffect.Play(Self) 
    Endif
EndEvent

Event OnLoad() 
    MyEffect.Play(Self)
EndEvent

You can also do the same with Visual Effects:

Thank you dylbill, this would be very confortable if it works that way. I will try that out.

 

@Ishara

That was unexpected!

I have both installed from Steam. Skyrim is the TESV.exe and Skyrim Special Edition is the SkyrimSE.exe.
