Mookeylama Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40676/?tab=description there's a great resource for it, with permission.basically 0% of skyrims interiors match up w/ the building's exterior. usually it's not too noticeable, but when it is glaring, it's usually because of a window that acts as the landmark that you just know, does not exist outside. i think many folks would use a mod that let u place a window here n there if they'd like. wouldn't need to be fancy. just static windows that we could place w/ Jaxon's Positioner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias555 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Are you under the impression that a window will allow you to see what's outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookeylama Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 lol, no not at all. just so the outside can somewhat sync w/ the inside. sometimes i notice windows in spots on the outside or inside, and it's painfully obvious that it's counterpart is not on the corresponding spot it should be. you've never noticed that NONE of the architecture in skyrim interiors match that of the exterior buildings? i mean, placeable windows wouldn't help w/ missing wings, floors, eaves ect, but it would help. i've seen requests for these off and on for years. there was a guy that was attempting to mod vanilla buildings to match, but he gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylion Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Skyrim interior was scaled around factor 1.5 or more most likely to give more space to move around particular when you have followers.So I tried myself to make a mod which makes interior and exterior equal - but realized soon that's it would be easier to rebuild the whole world from scratch than making the changes required. In many cases the outside of buildings/forts has nothing to do with the inside structure, not in shape or form.Particular with the windows as in most cases the location of the exterior window could not be matched with the interior at all. But anyway why would you want to do place windows in-game and not with the CK? You can use the Window resource mod you mention and just place them in CK as you wish. Or do you like to re-decorate once in a while? CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first time you go into a building and realise it's larger on the inside, you kind of understand that it's following pokemon logic and ignore things of that nature.

CLyep, exactly. i like to decorate. plus i don't know which buildings this issue would really bug me about, until i actually notice it. really wasn't wanting a huge mod that overhauls all architecture, and would create conflict. just something that i'd use when it bugged me. like w/ mods such as Shadows and ELFX, sometimes a window will really take center stage and draw your attention...which then just makes it agonizingly apparent that the damn window doesn't exist outside lol don't know much about CK, so what i've done is take the Farmhouse type window nif from that resource, and replaced a piece of armor with that nif. then i can drop that armor piece (thank gawd there's a world model) then grab it w/ Jaxon's and place it on the wall. inside or out. works well and really makes a nice difference. i've used it on a few farmhouses. there was an issue w/ the nif having a huge collision box, but i fixed that. can't remember how. i did this months ago. i was just wanting an ACTUAL mod for this rather than replacing armor pieces since i don't have that many armors to give up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambershore Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Interesting. It could be easily done with a window from the solitude farmhouse, as those from the village/basic farmhouse (like in Rivewood) are just a row of planes.I could make a correct stactic nif just for it, with its collision, if you'd like. A minimum of CK job would also be required to make it "dropable" ingame though, I guess... and that's not really in my skillset yet, I'm just a modeler.

Mookeylama Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 that would be nice Ambershore, thanks! i think there might be a farmhouse window in that resource pack i linked to in 1st post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambershore Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 so... I just checked this nice ressouce pack, and I didn't see the solitude farmhouse window that I was thinking about, so I'm currently finishing it (as a nice break from modeling wells).Almost done, here's how it looks, I did two variants: (collision mesh on the left) Just showing the rather low res vanilla textures, so, it should be compatible with most other windows texture packs, but I'll check. since there were a ton of split vertices, fliped UVs and unecessary UV cuts, after the repairs I took the liberty to add just a few more details. I'll let you know asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambershore Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 ok, the nif are made, and tested ingame. Screen cap taken with rustic windows textures sets, which works nicely with them (with 'visible windows' too). https://imgur.com/AMD1sDg https://imgur.com/0QDbhPF to get the nif files:http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=06123885096233949230 Hope this gets you a bit closer to you goal ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
