mavanaic Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hey mavanaic,Thanks for your reply however, that is exactly what I'm saying does NOT work. Please read all my post as I state that I've tested that method. It seems there is some broad confusion about what the "Head Parts Only" check box does. I've tested and it does not selectively only edit head parts. It means when you have that box checked, you should ONLY target NIF Optimizer at directories containing head parts and when it is NOT checked you should not target directories that have head parts. -Xaxilisuse head parts only ..normally are in \meshes\actors\character\facegendata. So you do first head parts only (copy nif optimizer.exe in that directory and run it)..next you can move the nif optimizer.exe in the meshes folder..it will skip the converted head parts in "meshes\actors\character\facegendata";)...That's why I posted that tutorial ...to see different "head parts" located in other plce than facegendata directory...

Kneph13 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This is what I did as it was far easier the faffing around with it all and yes SSE is officially doing my head in. If it is not one issue it another maybe things aren't as stable as i hoped when i first deiced to create this guide. I guess it too much ask for a mod that is supposed to have been made for SSE to work properly on SSE without faffing around the CK, or SSE Nif opt. I am at the point now in saying if a mod made for SSE doesn't work out of the box and you have to faff around it ain't going in cos this is really really pissing me off now. Mini rant over and with that I am out off here smell you later. I'm all for this Lexy! "You" shouldn't have to be doing it. Link to comment
DarkladyLexy Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hey guys you can now download a sexy CreationKitCustom.ini extract to your Skyrim Special Edition main folder. If you have already done these edits it should be OK you don't need to reinstall the CK. 1 Link to comment
godescalcus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 use head parts only ..normally are in \meshes\actors\character\facegendata.

You say "normally are in \meshes\actors\character\facegendata" - "normally" implies exceptions... You never know. And no guide I've read or seen so far is more peremptory about which meshes do need to be optimized as head parts. It's always "normally", or "for example..." or "such as..." or something similar. It seems like we're acting on a hunch. So at the moment I know I can't trust my own ports, and I don't know if I can trust anyone else's. This shouldn't be tragic, I agree with Lexy - if we need to change mods from the classic guide we change, and a good reason for it is not being able to trust a ported mod. But most mods on the SE are actually ports. Maybe a handful state very clearly that they were completely remade for the SE, and a few may have been originally made for it (like Majestic Mountains). The rest are ports, and that's the "tragedy" Sure, we have been using them for a month here. Some we may say that work because we've not seen anything wrong with them so far. That's not so bad... Oh, maybe I'm just tired. About to rebuild from scratch for the fourth time since I can't determine what's causing the CTD I'm getting in Dawnstar - which is not SSoS, checked that and double-checked, Talos included. As a consolation I feel we're breaking gound here. And I see Lexy's move to making this guide having an effect on the current dynamics around SSE. So, end of rant and back to work :P Link to comment
DarkladyLexy Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ok Guys Windsong is in bye bye to the headache that was Massive NPC Facelift Ovrehaul. take note of special installation also take note of the new shiny NPC Retexture Merge and also take note of the new location within the guide for teh whole NPC Retexture Section also added Interesting NPCs - 3DNPC - Overhaul which is part if said merge. with that i am out of here.

godescalcus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Lexy, what's your take on enabling achievements for this guide? Ponurymazepa has a procedure for that in the Tucoguide but it implies enabling the Steam Overlay and some tinkering with SKSE and renaming the binaries. Doesn't break anything as far as I checked...

Decopauge123 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Hey guys you can now download a sexy CreationKitCustom.ini extract to your Skyrim Special Edition main folder. If you have already done these edits it should be OK you don't need to reinstall the CK.DarkladyLexy, your original Creation Kit instructions had modders place2 lines ("bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1" and "bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1") at the top of the CreationKit.ini [General] section. The new CreationKitCustom.ini file (Thank You! for that) only has 1 of those lines ("bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1") in it. Is "bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1" no longer needed? ",Dawnguard.bsa, Hearthfires.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa" after 'Skyrim - Patch.bsa' at the end of the line starting with "SResourceArchiveList2=". Is this change no longer needed? I have the entire, modified "SResourceArchiveList2=" line in my CreationKitCustom.ini file. Edited February 11, 2018 by Decopauge123 Link to comment
berndaroy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ok guys and gals, i know I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw sometimes, but prerequisite page...downloaded lastest SSEEdit tool and WICO cleanup script. "Special installation: Extract to SSEEdit\Edit Scripts. Then go to SSEEdit\Edit Scripts\lib from there copy mteFunctions.pas to the main Edit Scripts folder". I find NO lib folder in Edit script of SSEEdit for the mteFunction.pas...where have i fallen off the beaten track? Link to comment

godescalcus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Minor detail, this happened to me because I'm now building on a freshly installed windows: maybe 7zip could be moved up before skse, since this is archived in .7z format which can't be opened in windows by default. Link to comment
