AMidianBorn Content Addon Assistance

[i_push_buttons]

Hello,

 

I was just curious if someone could elaborate to me what the below step of the Guide means.

 

2.I > AMidianBorn:

 

At the end of it, it says " Now install the Content Addon using the Improved Closefaced Helmets ESP."

 

What exactly is meant here? I installed the content addon via the "Install a new mod from an archive" button, but I have no clue what is meant by "using the Improved Closefaced Helmets ESP..." Like I know what that ESP is, but I have no idea what the guide means by "using" it to install the Content Addon...?

 

Thanks

Not sure if i did this right either....but what i did was swap the 2 ESP's around and used teh ESP from the folder >>"Improved Closefaced Helmets version".

 

Look at the download for "aMidianBorn - Content Addon-24909-1-2.zip" you will see a folder >Improved Closefaced Helmets version< in that folder is a ESP that has the same name as the file loose in the main folder. I swapped them and only used the file from the closedface folder.

 

you have to move original file to a temp folder, (cant have same name in a folder you get asked to overwrite) move the file from closed face to the main folder , then move the original to the closed face folder. This keeps both files.

 

You cant, (i couldent) switch them from inside MO because the names are the same.

 

IF this was wrong, I apologize and will have to change what i did also....waiting for other responses....

Oh I see there is another esp with the same name inside the archive...  I never even looked inside the archive or most of the others as I have just been downloading them and activating them in mod organizer.  When I read "using the Improved Closefaced Helmets ESP" I assumed they meant I was to somehow use the actual ESP from the Improved Closefaced Helmets mod from earlier in the STEP guide.

 

Thaks for the info man.

I'll be updating the instructions this evening. Check back in a bit.

Instructions have been updated.

Cool thanks for that, one more thing:

 

Under Skyfalls and Skymills, it says to create a LOOT Meta Rule and to load it after Distant DetailHF... How do you do this? My Skyfalls and Skymills installs with no esp (just textures and meshes) and I am assuming it isn't wise to take Distant DetailHF itself and put it way up in the overall load order given it appears way down the list (way down in the guide that is)?

 

EDIT:

 

AND (lolimneedy) anyone know where you can get Wrye Bash other than Nexus? The link in the guide to it says it is under review and everything I read about Wrye Bash says it is pretty much required with this many mods or your game is gonna crash a lot, so any link is appreciated, thanks.

Is it against the rules for someone to upload their copy of wrye bash to me?

That brings me to a question for ya. Did you go to the MO nexus page and download the fomod hotfix for the latest update, after you said you don't have an esp after installing a mod is what the hotfix is supposed to fix, so I am curious if you got that hotfix and are still having fomod problems.

No I didn't, but I did just now and I see the .esp :)

 

Any comment on the Wrye Bash problem? Is it entirely necessary for me to use it? As like I said, the nexus page was brought down for review.

Yes you have to use wrye bash to build a bashed patch so that changes made to leveled lists are incorporated into your game. And no it would not be a good idea to use someone else's patch, cause there mod list would have to be identical to yours. But I am not clear as to what your problem with wrye bash is. Do you just need a link to where you can download wrye bash so you can build your patch? Or do you need help building the patch through wrye bash?

Both the Wrye Bash download and help probably :P  I wasn't asking for someone else's bash, just the program to make my own as the nexus page for Wrye Bash won't let me download it and google searches take me to like Oblivion Wrye Bash downloads and stuff like that.

 

EDIT:

When I follow the link in the guide (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840/?) it says "file under moderation review."

Ahhh I see, didn't no that was going on. I went to another site I knew used to have it UFRealms, but the site doesn't exist anymore. I'll keep looking, but you might have to wait until whatever is going on with wrye bash at nexus gets resolved.

Hey found it, went in to the oblivion nexus and it's still up

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/22368/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Foblivion%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D22368&pUp=1

 

So run over there and get it! Hope it helps and happy modding.

 

Oh and btw, at the moment the only way to download it is to use the CDN experimental download, as the links for download manually don't work.

I'm not having any problems downloading manually. I'm using 64-bit Firefox too so I would expect to have more problems not less than others.
