Editing other mods

[DragonKnightBob]

Hi folks, just encountered an odd error while I was trying to do some tweaking to some mods that I downloaded.

 

I have both of the AT-002 Shiki armor sets installed, but when I show up in the market district (I also have the full better cities installed), they're hovering in mid-air in the new alcoves created by BC.

 

Now, I've made a few tweaks here and there to other mods, so I figured this would be a piece of cake; drop them down to ground level, and move them over to the inner wall. My problem though, is that I can't open the chests anymore! As in no hand icon or anything; it's like they're a part of the wall. So I jacked them up to about 3 ft off the ground, and they open again!

 

Anyone have any idea why this could be?

I think you've hit the nail on the head guessing that they're a part of the wall. I haven't got either mod so I can't tell for sure, but it sounds like the chests are inside the collision mesh for the wall - perhaps the alcove section is only visual and the collision mesh doesn't take it into account.

 

Checking out the wall section in Nifskope will tell you for sure. :)

Thanks for the reply; I did as suggested and that seems to be the problem. I dragged them forward a bit and made sure they weren't inside any other bubbles for other objects and now they open perfectly.

 

And now, because I don't want to start another thread, here's another question for the masses that may be able to help :P

 

I've got the Enhanced Daedric Invasion and Order of the Virtuous Blood installed, both of which who add new Daedra/Vampires to Tamriel in decent quantities. Every once in a while though, I'll encounter something odd; the Dremora/Vampire, once killed, has over 100 of it's death item (Either the hearts, or vampire dust).

 

Now, the hearts aren't that ridiculously game breaking, but I just picked up 114 Vamp dusts off one corpse, and that sounds pretty wild to me! Does this sound like a regular PC problem, or a mod one?

That sounds like the supposed problem with SI NPCs who are in the duelist club having multiple copies of their weapons. Though I've not heard about that outside of those NPCs.

There have been no other reports of this occurring in Vampire Hunting - Order of the Virtuous Blood, and it has never occurred in play-testing. That is one strange problem you have there. Do you perhaps use some combat mods or vampire death animation mods?

[DragonKnightBob]

Both, actually; I have Deadly Reflexes 6 installed, and I've managed to make both Unholy Darkness and Starx Vanilla Vampires (With exploding vampires of doom) play nice together.

 

Unfortunately, here's the kicker; I was having both of these issues prior to installing the 3 above mods. It happens most often in the case of the Daedra; it's only happened twice (In about 80 hours of playing now) for vampires, though I did only notice the vamp dust after OVBE was installed. Also, I gotta ask; are Vampire Horses your doing, Mr Brasher? I laughed when I came out and saw one beating up my horse.

 

I'm slowly and step by step cleaning my mods, so hopefully it'll get fixed; for now I'll just behave and only take one of each off a corpse. If I had to take a guess, I'm wondering if it's a glitch in the 'death item' script you can find in the construction set; something might be causing it to multiply out of control in one of the other 250+ mods I have installed.
