Apachi hair Masters problem

[cobaltofdoom]

Hi!

So I'm trying to either install

 

Ult NPC overhaul

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76658/?tab=files

 

OR

 

Inhabitants of skyrim

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23755

 

The problem is that I want to use Apachihair 1.6

and both these mods seem to have been designed for 1.5 as they need female and male esms and 1.6 just has a unified esm it seems and doesn't read it.

 

I would *prefer* to use UNO but I'll take Inhabs if needed.

I'd much rather keep using 1.6 of apachii as the hair is really jarring in 1.5

 

So I guess:

1. Is there anyway to make them recognise a dif apachi hair esm?

2. if not, is there a good npc,bandit ect overhaul other than these two that doesn't need apachii 1.5 that people can recomend?

3. I will also take recommendations to get similar results using other mods.

 

4. I highly doubt it but will UNO or Inhab still work without the masters?

 

Thanks for your help.

On the Apachii Hair mod are optional files with standalone hairs for male and female. It is in those that you will find the ESM files that you need. The optional hairs are not included in the main file. You may safely use the optional files alongside the main and have access to the ESM files that you need for your other mods.

As far as I can tell Apachii 1.6 here (which is MUCH nicer than 1.5)

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10168?tab=files

 

has one ESM (pic below)

 

When I install one of the overhauls it asks for 2 dif ones

(another pic below)

 

From what I can figure its Apachii 1.5 female and 1.2 male that'll have the ESMs it requires.

 

Now from what you're saying it sounds like I can get 1.6 to have 2 different ESMs? Or were talking about the previous version?

[IsharaMeradin]

I'm saying you can install the main file (1.6) to have the apachiihair.esm then install the optional female (1.5) and male (1.2) files to have apachiihairfemales.esm and apachiihairmales.esm respectively. When done you will have 3 esm files form apachii hair and be able to use the other mods that you want to use.

 

Just because the main file is at a higher version number does not mean that the optional files are obsolete.

[cobaltofdoom]

Would it not overwrite the other Apachi? or just make sure 1.6 esm overwrote them later in the load?

Just give it a shot and see what happens. You can always uninstall and start a new game if it isn't what you want.

 

Install the main apachii hair file

Install the optional apachii female hair file

Install the optional apachii male hair file

Install Ultimate NPC Overhaul II file

 

Test it out in-game

I'll give it a go, ta!
