xpanpanx Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well, it all started when I decided to read a tutorial on how to make a simple companion mod. I've never tried to create my own mod before, so TES Construction Set was pretty new to me. I followed all the instructions on a step-by-step guide and thought I had done everything correctly. However, when I activated my mod, loaded oblivion and tried to travel to the location where I placed my companion (Imperial Market District), Oblivion crashed before I could reach it :/ I tried re-loading and traveling to the location again and again, no luck... Any help would be much appreciated, thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickory Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Your question is in a perfectly appropriate section. Regarding your mod, try using CM Partners, and read the documentation on creating a new partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpanpanx Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks guys. I've downloaded CM Partner's not to sure about what specific data files I need to check for the mod to take effect, but other than that no change. Do you think it was perhaps and error I made with the actual creation of my companion mod? I could have sworn I followed all the steps right lol... P.S - Sorry if this topic is in the wrong section, I've never created a topic before and was in serious need of help XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpanpanx Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Right, I have downloaded the mod that was used to display the tutorial and customized only the look of the companion. This time I manage to get into the Market District but it still crashes soon after :/ strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 When you create a new partner, you need to select Oblivion.esm and CM Partners.esm and nothing else, and don't set anything as active mod. Follow the instructions in the documentation about creating a copy from one of the included NPCs and edit/place etc. Once done, select save and create a new esp of your partner. Now activate it and check it. I will repeat: do NOT check any other mod when you load the Construction Set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpanpanx Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 But I want to use a modded race for my companion and modded armor :/ I managed to get close enough to my companion to be able to see him before... he was invisible and so was his armor XD I am using Wolven Anthros Race Mod by the way:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 You cannot create a "simple companion" from another race mod and another armour mod that do not include the correct resources. A race mod is a race mod; a companion mod is a companion mod; an armour mod is an armour mod. Of course, it can be done, but is far more involved than just loading up a couple of plugins and expecting it to work, and beyond the scope of a troubleshooting forum. If you read the CM Partners tutorial (notice that CM Partners comes with a master file (esm)) you should get some idea of why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herculine Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If you want to create CM Partners companions that use a custom race you will need to either a.) convert the custom race into a master file or b.) copy the race data into the plugin file that will contain your companion. Feel free to look at some of my work for examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
