SSE to LE?

Hello forum people, all right ?, so I wanted to clarify a somewhat "complex" question (if there is any way to do it), which is to convert a mod from SSE (Skyrim Special Edition) to LE (Skyrim Legendary Edition). I know the opposite can be done, but I play on LE and my PC runs it with some ease on high, so I don't want to go to the remaster.
The idea came when I saw this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22584/?tab=posts&BH=0
It's a mod that simply adds Dracula's LoS 2 armor to Skyrim, and I thought the mod was really cool, very well done, however, it's only for SSE, and the similar mods it has for LE are like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216556119&searchtext=
(Without wanting to belittle much, but I thought it was pretty ugly, I'm sorry). So, is there a way to bring the armor mod to LE or do I have to migrate to SSE? Because for me it would be unfeasible, and this was a mod that I really enjoyed…

Olá pessoas do fórum, tudo certo?, então eu queria esclarecer uma dúvida um tanto quanto "complexa" (se existir alguma forma de fazê-lo), que é converter um mod do SSE (Skyrim Special Edition) para o LE ( Skyrim Legendary Edition). Eu sei que o contrário podee ser feito, mas eu jogo no LE e meu pc roda ele com certa facilidade no high, então não desejo ir para o remaster.

A idéia surgiu quando eu vi este mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22584/?tab=posts&BH=0

É um mod que simplesmente adiciona a armadura do Dracula do LoS 2 para o Skyrim, e eu achei muito leal o mod, muito bem feito, porém, é somente para o SSE, e os mods parecidos que tem para o LE são tipo isso: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216556119&searchtext=

(Sem querer desmerecer muito, mas achei bem feinho, mals ae). Então, existiria aluma forma de trazer o mod da armadura para o LE ou eu teria que migrar para o SSE? Porque para mim seria inviável, e este foi um mod que eu curti pra caramba sabe....

Thank you for atencion

Obrigado pela atenção

I'd love to be able to convert mods from LE to SE and vice versa.

 

I have no idea how to do this, although I would suspect it should be easier for graphics mods.

 

But are you sure that the difference between those images is not just the graphics quality of the photos?

No, like, what I complain about is not the image quality, the mod I want obviously seems to have mods that improve graphics, but if you see the second link, the steam one, you can see that the armor looks like, idk, STONE, it doesn't have that softness that the first one has and it seems a little colorless ...

But just in case, I'll download the steam one and see if I like it, if I like it (which I don't think will happen) I put an edit here saying that I liked it and such ...
PS .: If you, the guy who created the first mod, are reading the topic, give a little help to LE nois, make it compatible s2
PS ..: If you, the guy who posted on steam, feel bad, I apologize, but I honestly didn't think it was pleasant, but even so I'll give it a try :smile:

Edt1.: Men, I downloaded the mod and tals and there was only one ckm file, what should I do ??

Não, tipo, o que eu reclamo não é a qualidade da imagem, o mod que eu quero obviamente parece estar com mods que melhoram gráficos, mas se você ver o segundo link, o da steam, pode notar que a armadura parece, sei lá, PEDRA, não tem aquela suavidade que a primeira possui e parece meio sem cor...

Mas só por via das dúvidas mesmo, eu vou baixar o da steam e ver se curto, se eu curtir (o que não acho que vá acontecer) eu coloco um edit aqui dizendo que curti e tals...

PS.: Se você, o cara que criou o primeiro mod, estiver lendo o tópico, da uma ajudinha pra nois do LE, faz ele ser compatível s2

PS..:Se você, o cara que postou na steam, se sentir mal, peço desculpas, mas sinceramente não achei agradável, mas mesmo assim vou dar uma chance :smile:

Edt1.: Men, eu baixei o mod e tals e veio apenas um arquivo ckm, o que eu deveria fazer??

Some people insist you can convert, others insist you can't.

For one thing, you can't change the form ID from 44 (SE) to 43 (LE) on the ESP, and I don't think converting the meshes works

[Dragoon23]

Textures and meshes can be convert from LE to SSE and vice versa with Cathedral Asset Optimizer. For simple mods like textures and armors/weapons/accessories, I haven't encountered any issues going back and forth using CAO. I never tried esps or more complicated mods like houses, quests, and such though.

Converting meshes back to Oldrim works with the aforementioned CAO or with SSE Nif Optimizer. Mostly you don't even have to convert the textures back. Only if they are saved with BC7 compression you have to do this with tools like CAO. I also converted a lot of weapons and armor mods that come with an .esp. All you have to do is open the .esp with the Creation Kit and save it. But as far as I know this will only work with .esps that don't contain any scripts.

 

This Dracula "armor" can be converted within 5 minutes.

I have converted many nifs back and forth with SSE Nif Optimizer. The tool is super easy to use, and free to download:

 

You need this first:

BAE to extract Nif and Textures from .BSA files

SSE Nif Optimizer

Optional: Archive.exe (already in your Skyrim Directory)

 

1. You will need to extract all the NIF and Texture files from the .bsa using the BAE extractor

2. Run the SSE NIF Optimizer to convert to LE or SSE or back again for the NiF files

3. Move the converted files back into your directory (important they go into correct data file paths) - OR - package them and save as with the same mod name to over-write.bsa/bsl file using the Archive.exe

 

IMPORTANT: doing all this still might not work though if the Mod Author used resources from SSE and DLC content to create their armour. In that case I am not sure on the work-around since you won't have the textures for your LE game.
