TechAngel85 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 It is, for some reason I have Rich-dirty. I've corrected the shots in both posts above.
DoYouEvenModBro Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Honestly, I like Detailed Chests a lot more for the first comparison, but for the second comparison I think SMIM looks a ton better. Uh oh.
z929669 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I fail to see the issue raised concerning the SMIM plugin. Detailed Chests textures seem to wrap around SMIM just fine. Could someone create a screen compare of the problem if it exists? Also, Detailed Chests is better overall, IMO. SMIM textures are also good, but not enough to warrant that the former should be overwritten by the latter.
gamingsrc Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Here is the "snowy chest" ... in Volunruud (maybe my memory betrayed me confusing Darkbrotherhood with Thieves Guild Quests): I have followed STEP 2.2.7 line by line with the load orders in my Wrye Bash and I have just deactivated "StaticMeshImprovementMod-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp" from my load list and here is the result: Chest 1 Chest 2 Chest 2 texture problem

So these are Detailed Chests wrapping around SMIM meshes? What does Detailed Chests look like with SMIM ESP active?
gamingsrc Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I will take a screenshot (anyway with the esp activated the chest look very cool as I remember).
DoYouEvenModBro Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I will take a screenshot (anyway with the esp activated the chest look very cool as I remember).If you don't select the 40 - furniture chest options, it should skip the SMIM textures/meshes and then you can just use Detailed Chest textures without a problem, right?

Let's see how Detailed Chests looks wrapped around SMIM.

Let's see how Detailed Chests looks wrapped around SMIM.Yea, but the Chest feature of SMIM is fairly new. We got along great without it for a while. I was under the impression that if you use the Chest Fix, SMIM will use its own Chest Textures and will not let you overwrite it. So basically, the Detailed Chest textures won't show up. I need someone to confirm that though. I am not home right now and will not be for a while.
gamingsrc Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I didn't test the 40 - furniture option, maybe this point need an investigation. Anyway here are the chests screenshots after activating SMIM furniture plugin: Chest 1 after activation Chest 2 after activation

I thought you were referring to the Furniture Chests option of SMIM. What are you talking about? Option 40 - Furniture Chests is where that ESP is, no?
gamingsrc Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Uninstalled SMIM 1.56 (via Wrye Bash Installer), deactivated the option "40 - Furniture ...", installed SMIM again, run BOSS, loaded the game and here is the result: Chest 1 without SMIM 40 - Furniture Option Chest 2 without SMIM 40 - furniture Option
z929669 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yep, it looks like the SMIM textures are tied to the SMIM meshes and nothing else. I say we take DYEMB's advice and simply not use the 40 - option.
gamingsrc Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Personally I prefer much the look of SMIM snowy chest.
