acidzebra Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Shadowgreen in the CK is actually a world, and surprisingly heavy on resources. It's also quite "dense", meaning a lot of objects in a relatively small space - but it still spans several cells. If you're going to edit it, it helps to open it and in the cell view window filter and select all the objects starting with "fx" (so fxambbeamwetmists, fxglowfillroundblah etc) and make them invisible (click the top of the render window - not IN the render window) and press the 1 key twice. The same goes for any objects with "trig" in the name. This way, you'll be able to look around and select stuff you want instead of all kinds of other stuff. Press F5 to reset the view and make everything visible again. If you're looking for a greenish cave to adjust to your liking, I humbly suggest having a look at my little cave/tree home mod, you should be able to expand or adjust it as you see fit or maybe take away a few ideas - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25631 It's nowhere near as beautiful as shadowgreen though - I love that world.

slainia Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've actually messed around with caves quite a bit in skyrim... it's time consuming,b ut if you're patient, you can work it out. The waterfalls are fairly simple once you get the hang of it, assuming iv'e been doing them properly. (Find a cave ceiling piece that has a hole in it, then look for something called waterfallfx or something similar, l can't quite remember how to spell it. At any rate it's the type of water, just search waterfall. There will be variations - tiny, stream, torrent etc (not the names, but how they look) so chose one that fits your cave & so on.)Also... before I made my new nexus account - lost the password to the old one - l was working on something called vendra's respite, complete with a cave basically like what you're asking for. if you want, you can take a look at it, maybe copy it. i'm not sure how suitable it is in terms of size, but it was essentially meant to be a civilized vamp lair that was originally a nord dungeon, with a cave attached. (you could probably copy the cave itself.) i still have the files on the computer if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would very much appreciate having a look at your cave and many sincere thank your for your generous offer....You are not planning on completing 'Vendra's Retreat'?.....May I ask why?....Too much lost with the loss of your password? no i still have access to the steam account so it's set to hidden. not sure if i'll complete it or not, but the cave bloomed out of control. it started off as a small idea - you live in a dungeon, walls break and a caves discovered type thing - then became so much more than the dungeon itself. im fine with you using it, as long as it's still there and suits your needs. (At one point I considered scrapping the cave part. don't think i did, but anyway.)Add me as a friend on steam and i'll set it as friends only if you wanna check it out. just credit me if you use the cave. if you use it for info that's fine. the only thing it's really lacking is alternate exits (easily fixed) and balconies. beh l'll just leave it public and mark it an alpha. l forgot how far along l was on it - there are npcs, you'll probably wanna tgm or something when you check it out. i'll go look into it in ck, make sure the caves still there.anyway, here's the steam link. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11486 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
