sexyangel Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone I need some more help please. Watched a great 45min tutorial how to make a standalone follower and I'm now into about six hours from that video, lol... (face palm..) My CK keeps crashing after I loaded my KS Hairdos texture. The video said I might need a Tri-File for KS hairdos does anyone know more about this file I might need or has anyone else experienced this crashing problem?

Kroekr Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What tutorial are you using? According to this tutorial, http://www.skyrimmods.xyz/p/welcome-and-thank-you-for-downloading.html , putting HDT hair on a follower is a pain so that might be your problem with the CK if you are using a HDT hair style. The tri files are in the meshes folder if the hair has a tri file. Not all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all do. nope it was the one particular hair I chose it wasn't working correctly and no it's not the HDT either, but I did pick another it worked but when I tested the follower out she had her teeth, eyes, and hair but her head and face textured was floating above her. Do you know why this might happen? This is the tutorial I have been using now for 3 days lol... Edited February 6, 2017 by sexyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algabar Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just FYI, there's "Make a follower kit" (MAFK): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/81561/? It basically offers prebuilt files, that you only have to replace with your own stuff. Very easy to use. There's also a video tutorial. If you're not that experienced with followers, MAFK might be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the tutorial to the new version of MAFK, which I linked... :cool: Anyway, IMHO highly recommended and very helpful for people making their first custom follower.

Thank you so much for the links I will try it out once I retry the other tutorial one more time. I think I had so many body mods and other animations mods on when I made my character thats why it went so wrong. But I will try anything at this point my character Phenix will RISE again ha.. Question when adding the body I use Lunari Race but also use a tattoo mod that is a plug in for Racemenu how does that apply to the body of the follower when you are getting the mesh and textures added to the folders you make on your desktop before you add them into your Skyrim folder?

You can merge the tattoo with the femalebody_1.dds to have everyone that uses that body get that tattoo (if you want it colorized, you will need to do that before you merge the files) using GIMP2. I can't find the links I used to learn how to do it though so you will need to use your Google-Fu skills on that. Remember that if you plan on uploading the mod, you will need the tattoo authors permission first. Edit: I found one of the links: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=711205933 I think I found the other: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75775/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D75775%26preview%3D&pUp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
