Same here, working great with Mod Organizer.

Alright - now riddle me this batman... (this game is confusing as hell to get stable I swear) I restored everything to 2048 textures, then half sized the normals of the 3 major texture packs only. (didn't optimize anything besides Beth textures) VRAM is hitting 2900 pretty consistently... but NO instability at all! I literally TRIED to get this thing to crash and I couldn't...

For me I definitely prefer to keep the added textures... just need to find the sweet spot.

I just did a quick test - left everything except took out the 3 big texture packs (foundation)... VRAM steady at 2100 and no crashes or problems with everything else going. Apparently the general rule of thumb is to stay as low as possible in VRAM no matter much actual VRAM your system has.

Been looking at some tutorials on creation kit.com and think I know how to do it in a general sense. Will be more a rewrite than a patch though so may end up doing a full mod from scratch. We shall see. Can't really give any promises until I get a closer look.

Yeah lots of good updates today. Can't wait to get home from work.

Hmmm doesn't that mean it'll look off for male NPCs as well regardless?

Nice link!

Yeah you could try but Skyrim is DX9 with a crappy RAM limitation... :)

Looks pretty good. Will have to try it.

Unfortunately so yes. Going to go through and see who the big culprits are. Even with all my hardware I apparently can't use all 2048 textures without hitting cap.

So I didn't... oops! :) Sorry about that. Lack of sleep likely culprit.

Wet and Cold changes gear for NPCs as well as other mods so I'm fairly sure it can be done. I imagine SKSE will be a requirement. I'm a programmer by trade so at least on a fundamental level understand scripting so hope I can glean something from these other mods but honestly going in mostly blind.

Not yet... work is keeping me busy (obviously from my last post). You should be safe working meshes and such. Also might be good to look at patches for weapons mods already in SR that change meshes(such as deLarp). Keep in mind that WRP is going to be removed as soon as CaBaL finishes the razor retex as well. I will make best efforts to put something together on the weekend and post it. Have you given thought as to how we can make updates like this modular? Honestly my end goal is to move away from direct race edits and move it into a quest similar to other mods to increase compatibility and maybe add an MCM toggle for shields, etc. However its all learning curve for me...

I swear its getting harder and harder to keep up... looks like another big update day on the nexus. New SFO version appears to have a note saying ctds fixed so maybe that was part of the issues. If only I didn't have to work/commute... he he. Will update later tonight per usual.

Did a run trying to watch the Process Hacker... private memory got over 3gb and then as expected... boom! As with the others... VRAM / RAM seemed to be pretty much 1:1 (give or take slightly).

I believe those may indeed be typos try the files 080053E5 and 080053EC - probably best to wait for confirmation from Neo though.This is more than likely correct if said nodes exist. They do and it is what I did.It looks like that's what it was. I found 080053E5 and 080053EC under Ingestible RealisticNeedsandDiseases.esp and was able to make the changes. Thanks all for the help! Fixed.

Yeah problem is I'm not golden. Performance is perfect but after ~40 minutes... ram is done and ctd.

I find my VRAM usage to be insane as well even using only 2048 textures and pretty routinely get close to 3gb usage... this is an issue I'm struggling with myself. I've only DDSOpted the big TeX packs though so we'll see as I go along.

Looks good... were there no edits needed for DB or is that forthcoming yet?

Got a lot of these on track. I actually have closer quivers downloaded but not yet installed.

More weapon textures... CaBaL on a roll.

Possibly. There are so many options out there it is mind boggling.....

Looks like Sparrow made some comments in his comment thread and on his description page.
