cptmcsplody Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) no they are not flagged a bad it just your character and all NPCs's will be in a T-pose until you install FNIS (I am trying to nip user a question/moan in the butt before it happens). Plus i really don't see why a mod that is basically a Retetxure for NPC has those in there but it does. Yeah not sure why they have those animation files. There is no reason given on mod page as to what they do. It was asked on the mod page, should be safe to remove. I will test later, nearly have those files added again. I am doing a fresh install without using nif optimizer to see how many mods really need it. Edited February 10, 2018 by cptmcsplody Link to comment

Decopauge123 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) maybe i should i just assumed everyone would of watched the video i linked by dirty weasel explaining how to use SSE Nif Optimizer.DarkladyLexy, at the beginning of the Dirty Weasel's video you linked in the main Guide, reference is made to the 2 previous Episodes (9 and 10) of his Skyrim Special Edition Modding Guide as being a good basis for following along in Episode 11. At about 9:30 in Episode 9: Converting Mods (Set-up and Tools), he describes how (and why) to make a CreationKitCustom.ini file: if Bethesda ever updates the Creation Kit, all changes made to the CreationKit.ini will be lost when the new file is installed. I would like to suggest that you consider changing the Creation Kit instructions in the Prerequisites section of the Guide to include creating a CreationKitCustom.ini in the directory where the Creation Kit is installed that includes all of the currently suggested edits to the CreationKit.ini file.

It's trial and error really, some meshes work better if updated using Nifscope batch commands.While the same process will nuke other meshes(generally large creatures) and yet those same meshes work perfectly after nif optimizer. Nif optimizer can cause issues of it own though, flickering & z-fighting, meshes turning invisible from certain viewpoints. Edited February 10, 2018 by cptmcsplody Link to comment

I have edited my CreationKit.ini file to remove all edits suggested in the Creation Kit section of the Prerequisites, and entered all of them in a CreationKitCustom.ini file. The CreationKit started up without a hitch, loading all .ESMs and ESPs in my current Build (see my ModWat.ch). After ELE_SSE.esp was selected as the active file and I clicked the 'OK' button, none of the annoying messages were displayed as the CK loaded all required files.

godescalcus Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Is there any fast easy way to delete all those .tga files in Massive NPC Facelift Overhaul SE?Open a command prompt window, go to the mod's folder (e.g. cd f:\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim special edition\modorganizer2\mods\yourmodwithtga) and type "del /s *.tga" Sorry, I just had to add that ;) Link to comment

godescalcus Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 FWIW, I'm in agreement with your rant: If a mod made for SSE doesn't work out of the box, don't include it in the Guide. With all the mods that are (and will be) in it, it's extra work that shouldn't be needed.This could actually be an interesting course of action. Taking a lot of discipline as we all have our favourite mods from classic, and some digging and testing to find proper SE replacements but it might lead to a differentiation between this guide and the classic guide, making them two different beasts.

godescalcus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) How do you guys play the game, mostly - in 1st person or 3rd person? I ask this because I only ever play in 1st person, as I did with oblivion, Morrowind, NV. For me these games were designed as 1st person RPGs, their mechanics works better that way, melee combat can work in 3rd person but ranged attack is nigh impossible without a targeting system independent of the central crosshair. For me, aiming with the camera is just clumsy. But I know a lot of people do prefer to play in 3rd person for whichever reasons. When tweaking this build to my liking in some little details I always find myself looking for a wider field of view than 86 and thought that for 3rd person users 86 might well be enough, for the camera behind the character add a little more peripheral vision. I also feel, as a 1st person camera user, I don't really get to enjoy the care and detail put into animations like DSR (not in SE yet, but for the sake of example) and a few others, even 360 walk and run is pretty useless if you don't play in 3rd person. Most other animations are also less impacting if you're not in 3rd person. So I began to wonder... Is this guide optimized for enjoying 3rd person camera view? ;) As someone who went through Ultima Underworld, Wolfenstein 3D, Ultima 9 and so forth up to Skyrim, I think this might even be a generational thing, that RPG and FPS have become distinct niches and people more attached to one tend to reject the other. I also played Ultima VI, VII, VIII, Ultima Online, Dungeon Siege, all Diablos, only didn't go to ESO because I don't have time for online playing anymore LOL so I'm well acquainted with 3rd person perspective, only don't really know how it fits with Bethesda games and think at least some people who prefer it may be trying to bring the games closer to their generally preferred game type.
