LE [request] Disable Blowing Dandelion seeds

[TheGloriousArgonaut]

My attempts to create this mod have all failed, I've edited the mpsmotesforest01.nif to try and remove the "effect" from the .nif but my edits all seem to fail, I still see floating dandelion motes around river wood.

 

Similar to the mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6387/?

 

that removes, pine needle and aspen leaves and even snow. I for the life of me cannot replicate the disabled effect for the forest dandelion seed motes.

 

I even copied the edited .nifs from the performance plus disabled effects, and renamed them to the .nif name of the dandelion seed effect. Still had enabled mote effects.

 

So my only conclusion is there must be similar .nifs to that of the pine needles in terms of(fxcameraattachneedles.nif) attached camera FX .nifs.

 

But i don't know the names of these .nifs I would need to edit.

 

something like fxcameraattachforestmotes.nif ? I have no clue.

 

Someone has to be smarter than me on this issue, I have no clue why this mod hasn't existed, even with improved textures I hate the blowing dandelion seeds, I want them to be gone!

Update: further digging, I was correct in that there are two camera effects called fxcameraAttachfluffEffect.nif and fxcameraAttachfluffObject.nif, as well as two texture effect files called fxfluff.dds and fxfluff01.dds, attempts to copy and rename the dummy nifs from the other performance plus disable mod, as well apply a FULL transparency over the dandelion seed textures, BOTH failed.

 

Im baffled as to how this effect is still running in my game with , all three .nifs and the two associated textures all being virtually 'disabled', yet I STILL see these floating around riverwood.

 

I am totally baffled as to why, looking at conflicts in MO, the only mod providing these guys textures are LITTLETHINGS mod and those textures and meshes should be disabled or overwritten.

 

If anyone wants to take a stab at this let me know Ill send you the .nifs and .dds with the correct file structure.
