Dinkydamn Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Starting up SSE and wanted to get most/all the OG mods i used for skyrim and several are actually ported! Now i do miss a few armor mods and i think you could just "open the file" with the new mod manager? Or does that not really work?Besides that i was hoping to get some posch mudcrabs and hire your own housecarl mod, Is there any easy way for a dum dum like myself to port em over? Cheers.

The obvious question is, have you searched for those mods in SKyrim SE mod section to make sure they already haven't been ported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious question is, have you searched for those mods in SKyrim SE mod section to make sure they already haven't been ported? Yep. I even asked the mod creators like a year ago if they could port em and only 2 responded i think. That is the reason why we have a spair follower mod now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I moved to SE, and I had to leave a few LE mods behind, but I ended up finding just as good, or better replacements for the ones I left behind.For me, the stability of SE was just to good to give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i still lack several mods i felt was a must have and the selection is not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoGamer Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Not hard. just tedious, I've ported one player house about 10 companions with custom bodies eyes and hair and a whole village with a manor as well as armors and weapons. you'll need SSE Nif Optimizer https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4089 NifSkope http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope and Photoshop or any graphic software that will open DDS files and save them in a newer format, you don't always have to do that, but sometimes you do. Paint.net can do it and it's free, but I use Photoshop https://www.getpaint.net/ here's a guide from the Nexus wiki, https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Porting_Skyrim_mods_to_Skyrim_Special_Edition And Darkfox always has good tutorials Edited June 19, 2019 by RadoGamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkydamn Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hmm been looking around on the mod list i put toggether and most most mods have "improved" versions that was hard to find except some armor mods pretty much. They should just be able to add "normaly"? No esp and such. Think it was just nif and DDS.Besides ESP files what should i stay away from? Don't really feel like going through the big "porting" process right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Pretty much anything with a .DLL file stay away from. Ex. Jaxonz Positioner. Someone (not the original author) has actually converted this over to SE, but not all of the functionality in that .DLL works with 64 bit Skyrim. Personally, I'm hoping that one day DavidJCobb ports over his Cobb's Positioner - though it's probably going to require a lot of time and it's not something he's looking at now. Still, fingers crossed, that mod is awesome on LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
