About this blog

In the course of learning to use mods and make mods I've discovered the methods that work best for me. These are currently spread out in (primarily Notepad) files and on random sheets of paper on my (literal) desktop. This blog is an attempt to put some of these things in one place for use when I need them again so that I don't have to look for them, or worse, try to rebuild the information from scratch.

 

If any reader other than myself should find any of these useful, well ... you're welcome. If you find it confusing or not to your liking then I'm sorry but you weren't the target audience anyway honestly.

Getting Past A Stuck Quest

Like others of my blog entries this one is on sticky notes. When I went to answer a question earlier today I noticed that my pencil markings were fading. So, I thought I had better put this here.   Let me introduce you to the Skyrim console: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console   When I hit a stuck quest I do the following:   1) use the console code sqt (showquesttargets). The console will then give you the ID for all of your current active quests. Use the pageup

Packing to upload a mod

I have had to look this up every time I wanted to put a mod here or on Nexus. As a result, I felt it was time to leave myself a note on how to do it so I could at least look it up here. I want to give credit to Darkfox127 whose video is where I have been going to get this information.   Preliminary Step (if not already done): Make an seq file   While an seq file is not absolutely needed for all mods in all conditions it is good to have and shouldn't do you any harm. So, open

Miscellany

I intend to use this to post issues that should be (hopefully) short and sweet.   I. I ran an animation and am now stuck in third person   This does happen with the use of SexLab more frequently than I would like. None the less the treatment is "hair of the dog that bit you". That is, you need to run another animation. Sadly, more SexLab animations are very hit and miss. What tends to work better are the use of one of the Crafting stations or Mining. Any of these is likely to

Advancing a Broken Quest from a Mod using the Console

I had to help someone do this today. I discovered  I couldn't remember how to do it offhand and went and found my paper notes on it. That, by itself, told me that I needed to make this blog entry.   To start, save your game. Whenever you do something new and different, save the game before you begin.   Next, open the console. To do this with an English language keyboard hit the ~ key (usually found in the upper left hand corner of the keyboard). If you are NOT using an Englis

Changing the Looks of an NPC: Part 2

This post is meant to show more advanced methods of changing the looks of an existing NPC or of making looks for a new NPC. For my purpose I plan to change the looks of the housecarl of Winstad Manor - Valdimar. To be more specific, I'm going to turn old Valdimar into a female. Since the focus of this blog post is the looks, rather than sex, of the NPC, I'm going to place those steps necessary to change Valdimar into a woman in spoilers as I go along. So, if you're interested only in cosmetic ch

Changing the Looks of an NPC: Part 1

Part I is dedicated to doing small things that are available in the game. You generally like Lydia but you think she should be blonde? You can do that. Do you think Proventus Avenicci should have a beard? You can do that. However, this Part will only work with vanilla assets. No wild and crazy Apachii hairstyles with this (that comes later).   To do the simplest and easiest changes all you need is the Creation Kit (hereinafter always referred to as CK). To get that:

Changing Body Slots

Like many other things I've tackled in Skyrim, dealing with Body Slots requires the use of tools over and above what the typical mod user needs. Specifically, you need:   TES5Edit   https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25859   NifSkope   http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope   and optionally but highly recommended:   Body Slots MCM   https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64976   The Body Slots MCM mod is loa
