guide Skyrim SE for Beginners - V 3.2.6 (Outdated)

[Aylis]

Thanks.

 

OK, then it is run #9 to get it to work... That's the armor i usually craft as my first one.

_________________________________________________

 

Next one.

 

There are two tiny spots where the preview in bodyslide shows something - but the window in the studio doesn't (aka it doesn't let me rework them further). That is as good as i can get them.

If thats not good enough, then we have to wait for a conversion.

 

 

'Ciri Armor'

@Aylis

What is the problem you're experiencing with the creature stuff? It's still working fine for me.

[Aylis]

It's simply driving me nuts. One day the penis works, next day it doesn't, one day its the horses, then its the chaurus, one or two days day everything works fine, next day it falls apart... 

 

I've simply wasted enough time on that.

 

If it goes on like this i might even remove 'Kyne's Blessing' and that is a mod i want in there as an additional layer of danger. That now depends on if the mod got its own animations or not. I don't really like the required 'Estrus for Skyrim' and downloading ~2GB for DD just to get the parasites running... I'm starting to think it is not worth all the hassle too.

 

A solid foundation with some Sex in it was the original plan. As i said before, if i don't want to use it myself why should i include it? Especially if i then have to answer the questions why it doesn't work properly (and there's always someone who runs into problems).

 

I've got more than enough other things i have to work on (like the armors).

[wollboi]

Hmm. What happens if you try to invite with Aroused Creatures? Does it engage at all, or just engages with no bonerificness?

 

The only time I saw what you are describing is with werewolves, and that was the fault of MNC. Switching it to another texture fixed it (I think it was defaulted to HCoS, and I switched it back to MNC). If it is something to do with AC, the author of that mod is a rockstar and answers every question directed to the mod.

 

Would hate to see it go away, but I certainly understand the frustration of banging your head against something for hours ... days ... okay, weeks, fine I said it. Since mine works, would you like to look at my mod list? Might help in narrowing down which mods you're running that I'm not that are probably interfering.

 

Hmm. The issue I saw makes me think about disabling HCoS. I don't use it and those ****ing loading screen animations are annoying.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

HCOS is easily fixed by deleting two folders. Just compare the pic to your content. Can't remember the names, as i already deleted them, but one was 'load<something>'.

Spoiler

 

I might give the whole thing another run when ABC is completed. But atm i won't touch anything with creatures...

I don't know why, mine have always kicked off like they should, but then i don't change mods and test on the regular like you do

[Aylis]

Found out what was causing the glitches/holes in the Ciri armor. Looks like 'Lifelike Idle Animations' was the problem as the postures seems to cause it. After switching to 'Pretty Female Idles' the holes didn't appear once.

 

The 'Lustmord Armor' keeps being problematic. As soon as i try to rework it to 3BBB it becomes ouvert. Sadly that means i can't really get to the parts i'd have to change. With that armor we have to rely on someone else...

 

In the next few days i'll take a look at Gigadeux. Hopefully they are easier to work with.

 

Updated file:

WBody - Ciri V1.2.7z

 

[Aylis]

Updating status to '2.0.9'.

Removing everything regarding creatures. In the current state of ABC, and the problems with 'Creature Schlongs', i don't see it as a viable option atm. I prefer having a solid and stable game that doesn't have mods in it that might (or might not) break at any moment.

 

The next steps will be converting more armors to 3BBB (no promises, i'm new to this) and fixing some textures (especially wood).

[chevalierx]

idle 22/21 is best

and blur , bloom kill graphic , like SAO of game  and god ray ............

[wollboi]

@Aylis What was the impetus for the removal of Lifelike Idles? I rather liked it.

 

Also, my god does the water look better with that recommended texture.

 

Edit - You don't have PC Head Tracking in the list order.

 

On the subject of sound, I really like this for werewolves. It's Oldrim, but works out of the box with MO2.

@wollboi

1. See post #1733

2. That was exactly my thought when i tested it...

3. Unannounced visitors. Disrupting everything and hard to get rid off. (Fixed)

4. I'll take a look at it. As soon as i start the companion questline.

I got around to updating and CBBE was updated and the chef outfit fix must have happened, because they removed the file.

 

I am also having an issue with egg factory that I don't think I was having before. Wondering of others could check their lactation setting and see if it will allow them to choose racemenu for the morphs.

Looks like it got integrated. Will update the list.

I'll take a look. It is greyed out here.

_______________________________________________

 

The mod 'Widget Addon - Bathing In Skyrim' got an update and i can now recommend it. (Updated post #1734 and the list) 

I recommend the settings: L/R position: 887 - U/D position: 23 - Scale: 170% (so it fits with the one from 'Fertility Mode').

before i shut it off i could choose racemenu for both belly and breast 

[Aylis]

Normally i'm not a fan of beautifying every female in the game. But this Lydia definitely got something...

Spoiler

 

And the other replacer for the housecarls he got are quite nice as well. They might end up in the game.

 

 

Also i'm checking out the demoniac skin again. I got to admit i have no way of getting even halfway close to that quality in 8K. If i can figure out the problem with the glossiness and the headstructure of the mer then i have to recommend that one...

 

 

Another thing: i used 'Ciri's Outfit (The Witcher 3) SE CBBE Bodyslides' as a template for my conversion to 3BBB. So this should now work with a different 3BBB body than 'Wrong Body' as well. Who's up for a test?

 

Nope, not working properly.

For me right now, it is only allowing belly for racemenu.  For breast it is greyed out.  Others in the EggFactory thread said they had similar issues.

I turned it back on and you are correct, racemenu is greyed out under lactation. nio overrides and sexlab iunflation framework are the only 2 that you can use on it.

Pass.. not slooty enough for a daughter of coldharbour vampire ?

[wollboi]

Is there a reason to have Bad Slaughterfish and One with Nature? Seems like they do the same thing, and I end up having to turn them to friendly in OWN anyway, otherwise the default vanilla setting from OWN will make them hostile anyway. Very minor point I know.

[Aylis]

@wollboi

And with any other setting of OWN they can still become hostile and prevent fast-travelling. 'Bad Slaughterfish' fixes that.

 

There's no way a fish could prevent you from travelling while you are on land (except in a Bethesda game ?).

Thank you for checking.  Seems it is an issue with either the mod or the port.

Unfortunately I am using wrong and cannot check, but I think they will still have to re-build it in bodyslide for it to work with theirs, which means they will probably have to open it up in outfit studio and follow the steps on the mod description (delete the npc bones).  I am no expert though and could be wrong.

No, that one is converted to 3BBB and you only have to make the bodyslides for the armor.

 

I only need a confirmation that it does indeed work with a different body (without messing with my game here).

[e27spd]

What bodies do you want tested? Or just different body pre-sets?

[Aylis]

Any body for 3BBB that isn't 'Wrong Body' would do. If no holes appear in game when the bodyslides are used then i got it right.

First version...

 

 

And two days work for nothing. The author where i wanted to extract some textures just got banned on Nexus. So no files you could download and then modify via batch...

[watching1919]

Thank you for this guide! I have no experience modding Skyrim SE and this thread has been a huge help. After a couple of days, I've managed to replicate your set up and I'd say that everything is serviceable at this point. I have a few questions though- apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but for the life of me I can't seem to work out a few things.

 

1. I've having a lot of trouble with Racemenu. Every time I load the game, I get a Racemenu error saying that I'm using a newer game version. I downloaded the most recent version of Racemenu though... The game still loads fine, but the error concerns me and may be related to the other issues I've been having, Specifically, some of the menus when creating my character are either blank, or don't seem to do anything. CBBE and 3BBB morph menus are blank, and the menus that allow me to change the size of limbs, height, etc. don't change anything. Do you have any advice? Ideally I'd just like some preset morphs to use. Also the load times for switching between races and sexes can take an upwards of 5 minutes at times.

 

2. Bodyslide is really confusing me. Is it possible for me to create some variance in the appearance of NPCs without having to take control of each one individually with Alternate Actors and edit them in Racemenu? If I could randomly assign every NPC a body type that would be great, but if I have to do it manually that's fine. I haven't quite figured out how to do either since I don't have any morphs or presets showing up.

 

3. Being new to sex mods and mods in general... How exactly does sex work now? I seem to have spells that give NPCs erections or to play a random sex animation, but is there any system in these mods that allows me to initiate scenes more naturally? This is probably a stupid question and admittedly I haven't tested everything due to there just being so much stuff. I basically don't know where to begin after registering all of the animations. Can I court people? Add them as followers/lovers? Are spells or combat involved in any way? Sorry for being so lost!

 

So that's what's been confusing me at this point, but again this guide has made everything else so easy to setup.
