Looking for help/collaboration with some outfits

[Perraine]

Okay, I'll start right off the bat and say that none of these outfits are of the same standard as those of people like Elianora or 2PacEva ... They are just some stuff that I've slapped together myself, whilst a$$ing about with Bodyslide, Outfit Studio, Nifskope and Paint.net.

 

What I'm asking for is help in getting them into game as viable, alternate and/or standalone items, and maybe even added to leveled lists or just into the game world. I have several problems

- First and foremost is that my computer is potato, so I can only just run FO4 at Low settings.

- Second - I can't even get the CK to stay stable for more than about 10 mins before it crashes and I get Error Messages every time I open it (that really is the actual number, not an exageration) If I try to load a world cell, it spirals up to plus errors, the crashes.

- Third I only have Paint.net for textures, and it cannot open or edit Normal Maps or Specualr Maps, though it can open and edit "most" Diffuse maps. It was fine for Skyrim, but it refuses to even touch FO4 .dds files.

 

I have several outfits, that I have already created, though they are a bit rough, but at teh moment they ae replacing other in game items.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Cate Archer-ish outfit - Currently replaces Piper's trench coat, the textures are very rough.

Wonder Woman-ish outfit Uses the Bunnygirl Mod as a base, I have permission from the Author to upload my modded version (if I get it made) I'd like to figure out a way to make WW's Headband if possible.

Barkeep outfit. I wanted something for settlers assigned to the 'Bar' store to wear that was kinda thematic. I cobbled together this retex, which currently replaces the default colour scheme House Dress. I also haven't done the proper bone weighting on this mesh yet so there is still some clipping.

Merchant-sih outfit - This one is in a similar vein to the Barkeep one except it's more for General Traders - It currently Replaces the WastelandDress, that Nick Valentines secretary and the girl at the Atom Cats Garage wear. I'd like to see both of thee maybe added to a box or trunk in the back of Drumlin Diners and Red Rockets respectively

These two are pretty simple, I removed the "leggins" from the Lab Coat, tidied up the skirt, And also changed the 'trousers' to a skirt on the Business suit, plus addded soem nicer shoes ( can't seem to figure out which outfit in game it is though) The Lab Coat is a replacer (Doctor Amari for instance wears it)

And finally this is my Mobster outfit :smile: I was originally going for "Zatanna" but the tails weren't long enough (and had no physics) And although I have created a Top Hat, it looks kinda oversized, which I will eventually get round to fixing. The other problem is tha tthe hat clips with anything but Vanilla hair styles - Not so noticeable on Black or Brunette haired ladies, but very obvious on blondes. This one currently replaces the Female Variant of the Tuxedo.

Thanks for ready this far ... You get a free Sweetroll :)

I pretty much know jack and **** about making clothing so I can't help you there but I can reassure you that the huge numbers of errors you see in CK on load of the program and on cell load are perfectly normal. We all get those. I also run on potato mode and I can load some cells but not others. Oddly I can load Diamond City but not Graygarden. You will probably never be able to load cells in busy places like downtown on a potato computer so don't even try. Don't run CK and the game at the same time if you're rendering a cell in CK. Technically I can have Diamond City open in the render window and run the game to test changes but the FPS in game is so bad it's like trying to run through the water deep enough to come up to your shoulders in a swimming pool. You can try turning the filtering on in CK to reduce the objects being rendered, that will probably help. Good luck! :)

Thanks for the info about the CK! I thought my game files were shyte or something, even though I've "verified" them dozens of times.

I tried loading an outdoor cell, just north of Reeb Marina as there is a split bridge with a car body across the gap, I can get over it but NPC's can't so I was going to try and fix it so my followers could .. follow, but after it reached 650+ errors ( plus about an hour and 3 cups of coffee later) the CK just crashed :( There is also a Red Rocket there, and I was gonna try and drop one of the outfits in there, because AFAIK, it's never used by any NPC's or scripts of any kind, it's just "decoration"

 

But at least I know it's not just me with the hundreds of error messages. Can't Bugthesda get anything right first time?

wasn't there a poker visor in FNV? I would think that would be a slightly easoer refrence point for the tiara havn't touched skyrim in a year but should be something there as well. Of course you can't legally "use" resources from the old games but it hasn't stopped anyhone else really

Actually this game has a visor, Solomon in Diamond City wears one.

That bridge being unusable has always irked me too. I wonder if I can load that cell?

So take that visor strip the bill off the mesh retexture and you should have your tiara

I think it's called ReebMarinaEXY05 or06 or something like that. I've also never ever done anything with NavMeshes, so even If I could get it to load, I have NFI what I would do with it. Lol

Actually now that you mention that, I did a quick and dirty retex of the Tattered Visor (I think it's called) for my Merchant/Barkeep outfits (I think it has a faded Titlest logo on it?) Maybe I could slice and dice that in OS and make a Tiara out of it? hmmm

I also need t figure out a way to make the outfits compatible with BodySlide. At the moment I am loading up the meshes in Outfit Studio, and using Zap Sliders to get rid of bits and pieces then building the mesh in Bodyslide, (rinse and repeat, with maybe a side trip to Nifskope in between) until I have the desired outfit ...

 

However, it removes all of the body shape sliders, and leaves just the Zap Slider, whenever I do that, plus it never "morphs" properly from my custom bodyslide preset to other CBBE bodies :( ... Need to watch more tutorials I guess. Outfits don't seem to get downloaded unless there is Bodyslide Support, so not much point uploading without that.

 

Also I don't use NMM, as Install everything manually, so I'd also need help converting the items to use NMM Fomod's or whatever they are called.

Navmeshes are surprisingly easy. There's a guy who did tons of Skyrim video tutorials I follow because he takes his time, doesn't gloss over the smaller stuff and actually explains why to do things a certain way. His name is Darkfox127 and he has a youtube channel. Anyway I learned from one of his tutorials, and it's still done exactly the same in Fallout 4.

 

Hahaha, I said this, then decided to go make a mod to bridge Gibson Pier bridge and of course I can't figure out how to connect new navmesh to the vanilla navmesh while also disabling part of the vanilla navmesh. >.< But once I figure it out there will be a mod Perraine. :D
