Changing from Zazanimations 6.2 to 8.0 plus midgame

[Omega404]

Okay, so i realize my zazanimations pack is outdated and wish to upgrade from 6.1 to 8.0 plus midgame. Is this safe to do mid-game? If so, please provide me with instructions on how to do so.

First, this is probably better posted on the ZAP support thread.

 

Second, upgrading mods is generally safe mid-game, if done correctly. There are exceptions but most mod authors will let you know if that is the case for their mod.

 

If you are going to do this I would go about it in this manner. Look at your load order and make a note of what position ZAP 6.1 is in. I make a note of both the decimal and hexadecimal location (that's because I have a bit of OCD). Next, disable 6.1. Then load ZAP8+ (this should put it at the end of your load order). Finally, move ZAP8+ up your load order manually until it is in the same location as ZAP 6.1 was. Your game should run without a glitch.

bullshit

 

you load the game with mod x 1.0

with that mod, when you open something, it put all ingredients in that something

mod y ingredients stay in your inventory, mod x need a patch

you make that patch by putting mod y ingredients in mod x script and recompile it

you reload the game

you open that something

and that change nothing, mod y ingredients are still in your inventory

because the game load the original script that was put in your save the first it was load, over your edited script in data\scripts\

 

you play with 3dnpc

npc are ugly

if there's a mod to do something about that, and you install it

and that mod don't stick to femalehairnord01, femaleheadnord, femaleeyeblue....

result will be what they call grey face npc (conflict between headparts and the nif)

 

it's only safe to install something on a current save, if you check if you can install that safely

relying on luck instead of checking, it's the best way to kill your save
