[2018 April 17 - Horse Riding Animations + Fix][Skyrim SE] Tera Elin Race 1

 

 

LORE
Building corporeal forms around tiny fragments of her own divine being, the goddess Elinu created the elins. Their physical appearance reflected the youngest daughter of Arun's wish for beauty and peace. Their queen governs both the elins and the poporis, with whom they share a history and a mission. The queen and her forces have proven their wisdom and diplomatic prowess in peace, and their tactical and fighting prowess in war.
The Elins have one driving goal: If it's not good for nature, stop it. Older and wiser than they appear, they join with forces of nature and mortal races to sweep their enemies from the battlefield. Their speech is often dark, forthright, and otherworldly, and their sense of humor can border on vicious.

OPTIONAL - Extended Colors
FILE: SSE_MAIN_OPTIONAL_TeraElinRace_ExtendedColors_20170125.7z

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3038

Before installing v2, uninstall v1 to ensure there are no conflicts or animation oddities.

2. Install Elin Idle Animation Redone and allow overwriting of the files in TOOLS > GENERATEFNIS_FOR_USERS folder.
3. Run GenerateFNIS for Users.exe.

 

===========================================================
Elin CBBE-UNP Body Replacers.

 

 

• FILE: SSE_OPTION_TeraElinBody_CBBE-UNP_v3_9-20170131.7z

 

Requirements.
*** If you want to use BBP or TBBP armors and outfits then you need to install the following. ***

• SSE XPMSE (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1988)
• SSE FNIS (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3038)
• FNIS is needed if you experience the T-pose bug (no animations are being used).

NOTE: If there are no noticeable breast bounce, even when naked, then install SSE XPMSE and remember to select the 'BBP MAP' option which adds the breast and butt bounce animations.

 

NOTE 2: XPMSE and FNIS is not necessarily required for the BBP and TBBP animations that is included with the Elin CBBE-UNP body replacer package (I have tested without using FNIS), but if your Elin and NPCs in general are stuck in a T-pose then you have 2 options:

• Install FNIS then run the FNIS Generator for Users (select Gender Animation fix + Arm Fix).
• Delete the BBP-TBBP animations (located in MESHES > ACTORS > CHARACTER > ANIMATIONS > FEMALE).

Allows the Elins to use a custom CBBE or UNP body.
3 options for CBBE and UNP body:

• Slim (flatchest) (NO BBP, NO TBBP).
• BBP (with breasts)
• TBBP (with breasts)

3 options for CBBE and UNP textures:

• Fairskin.
• Normal.
• Sunburn Bikini.

 

===========================================================
Elin CBBE-UUNP BodySlide Presets + Outfit Studio Conversion Templates.

• FILE: OPTION_Bodyslide-OutfitStudio_ElinBody_PresetsandConversionTemplates.7z

Requirements.

• Bodyslide (SSE) (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/201/?).
• Bodyslide (Skyrim) (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49015/?).

NOTE: Bodyslide/Outfit Studio for SkyrimSE (SSE) does not have any files for the following:

• Conversion Sets
• Shape Data
• Slider Categories
• Slider Groups
• Slider Preseets
• Slider Sets

 

This is why you need to also download Bodyslide/Outfit Studio for original Skyrim. Extract the archive and go to the BODYSLIDE subfolder. Copy the folders I previously mentioned then paste them in the BODYSLIDE subfolder from Bodyslide/Outfit Studio for SSE.

 

There are 2 Elin body Presets for CBBE and UUNP:
Elin (flatchest).
Elin Curvy (with breasts).

 

There are 6 conversion templates to convert armors to the Elin bodies:
7Base (bombshell) to Elin.
7Base (bombshell) to Elin Curvy.
CBBE to Elin.
CBBE to Elin Curvey.
UUNP to Elin.
UUNP to Elin Curvey.

 

How to Choose a Bodyslide Preset or Elin Conversion Template.

 

===========================================================
Elin-Skyrim Hair Packs.

• FILE: TeraElinRace - Offsite Download Links.txt

NOTE #1: These can be downloaded offsite. You need to download a text file which lists the hair packs and download links.
I made separate hair packs instead of an All-in-One pack. Mega, the file storage site, has problems uploading a 1gb+ file. I might create an AIO pack in the future when done adding any additional hairs for the Elins.

 

NOTE #2: The hair packs contain only the hair meshes and textures from the original hair mods. These are only playable for the Elins.

 

NOTE #3: All hair meshes have been updated for Skyrim SE.

 

 

===========================================================
NPC Replacers and Additions.

 

Elin NPC and Enemies Complete (Skyrim. No DLCs, yet).

• FILE: SSE_OPTION_Elin NPC and Enemies Complete_v1_0-20170110.7z

Does the following:

• Replaces certain unique (female) characters (i.e., all female housecarls including Rayya).
• Adds new NPCs to Whiterun and Mage's College.
• Replaces some of the randomly generated hostile and non-hostile NPCs (i.e., Imperials, Stormcloaks, bandits, witches, necromancers, and hunters).
• Adds new Elin enemeies to the level list separate from what is originally generated by the game.

NOTE: TDA made changes to the Elin mage instructor. Now when she demonstrates elemental magic in the Aracanaeum she will not damage and/or aggro any followers.
Thank you, TDA!

 

===========================================================
Elin Mannequins.

• FILE: SSE_OPTION_Elin_Mannequins_v1_0-20170117.7z
• Replaces all original mannequins in Skyrim, Hearthfires, and Dragonborn homes.
• Does not add new mannequins.

 

 

 

 

===========================================================
Elin Armors for the Elin body.

• FILE: ARMOR_ElinBody_ElinMaidCostume.7z
• Elin Maid outfit from the game Tera.
• Craftable at the forge (requires GLASS Blacksmith perk) and tempered (requires Arcane Blacksmith perk).

• FILE: ARMOR_ElinBody_ConvertedVanillaSets.7z
• Some Skyrim armors converted to the Elin body (NOT CBBE or UNP).
