SkyrimLL/DeepBlueFrog mods conversion to SSE

[Adviser69]

...back to debug mode for me, on Sisterhood of Dibella for SE. Getting CTD in the Inner Sanctum of the Temple of Dibella, and I haven't been able to pinpoint it's cause yet. If any of you play the SE version and get this as well let me know, and give me as much info surrounding it as you can. Fairly certain it's another faulty mesh/texture problem, but I don't see any discrepancies when I load the cell in CK, and I can't even get past the threshold of the door at the bottom of the stairwell before CTD, so whatever the fault is, it's in FOV of this general area. Any feedback from players would be appreciated so I can squash this bug.

The crash is caused by one or more of the facegen files, so something must have gone wrong when optimizing them. I optimized them myself to make sure, of course with the headparts option, and the game stopped crashing afterwards. But it did crash again when I removed them. I also tested both options twice, with the same result.

Oh, Hello

you mean that, optimization facegen files with SSE NIF Optimizer? no more CTD in Temple of Dibella?

Yes, and it should at least stop the instant crash. Didn't test anything else but that room, though.

Yeah, I finally figured that out last night. I went in and redid the facegen in CK for Hamal, Orla, Anwen, and Fjotra. I didn't do it for Senna because I use Bijin, but yeah, no CTD now. I will make a loose file zip file for the mod later.

Good news? wait for your files

@Armalgon Good work for solved CTD problem in the Temple of Dibella

Oof, all well and good, except I don't have Photoshop. I use open source Paint.net, and it doesn't recognize the initial format.

@Adviser69

You need first rename .dds to .dds2  if you want to open yoa08c_whitemarble.dds and yoa08h_whitemarble.dds with paint.net. for plugin infromation https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/111731-dds-filetype-plus-2019-02-07/

Looks like i'm having a problem with the new version. The old 'Dibella Sisterhood 132 SSE merged' works fine - every other version causes crashes (first update CTD at the start - April update as soon as i try to enter the upper 'Broken Tower Redoubt' with the cell and the dead sister).

 

Complete modlist is to be found here:

 

Did i miss something? Or are there new requirements?

You can avoid going in the second cell of broken tower redoubt and advance the quest with console commands:

setstage T01 80

I already fixed the problem with it. No need for a workaround now.

Yes, in a way. There is a dropbox link in the SOD thread I left until DeepBlueFrog posts it here on LL.

Still crashing in BrokenTowerRedoubt02 - I think you said it was something with a texture or something somewhere, but I forget. 

 

Anyway, just FYI. No big deal.

[Dumuzi]

For me, didn't even get to the temple or broken tower. any time I go near one of the traveling sisters included, CTD. One was in Morthal I believe, the other definitely in Dawnstar. Both in taverns. That's with trying the updated dropbox version as well. Now could be I needed to start a new game when testing the new file, instead of just replacing. Didn't go that far. Regardless, I know these things are very tricky to squash, so I'm happy to wait. Just thought I'd toss my experience in.

[Adviser69]

I've got some family stuff coming up, so I will be taking a break from converting and debugging for a few weeks. I'll try to tackle it with a fresh perspective when I come back.

 

Still, it frustrates me to no end. SOD, SD+, Dialogues and Parasites are working beautifully for me now, somehow I got them to pop, and yet even with the precise installations of the mods I have packed and downloadable, other players are STILL having CTDs with SOD and sometimes SD+. I don't know if something is arising during installation or what. So, I'm going to completely uninstall all of them, go do my family thing for a couple of weeks, and then come back and re-install them as I have them packed, and see if I get the CTDs everyone else is. I honestly don't know what else to do.

[Adviser69]

I have completely deleted all data for Sisterhood and Sisters and re-converted it. So far no facegen crashes like before. Here are dropbox links until DeepBlueFrog uploads them. Hopefully they'll work now.

Sisterhood Re-Upload

Sisters Re-Upload

[DeepBlueFrog]

I updated the files on the official download page with this latest version including the new facegen files.

[Adviser69]

Well, I'm starting a new playthrough again, only this time it's going to be completely Devious and depraved. In addition to SoD, SD+, Parasites, and Alicia, I'm also running Deviously Cursed Loot 8.3, Captured Dreams, Devious Devices: Equip, Devious Captures (Roggvir's latest conversion), Laura's Bondage Shop, Things in the Dark (My experimental conversion), From the Deeps, and Simple Slavery Plus (Also Roggvir's latest conversion).

In all honesty, I'm seeing how I can make further tweaks and compatibilities to make way for converting Sexlab Stories and a few other mods, in addition to seeing the effectiveness of the new DD conversion from HDT-PE to HDT-SMP. Gonna see if I can slap some mortar into the crumbling brick wall I call my load order before it goes all Jenga on me, and learn some more stuff for the benefit of mod users here.

@DeepBlueFrog @Adviser69

I put together a FOMOD for 'Dibella Sisterhood SSE' (i could also make one for LE). It works perfectly here and should be easy to upgrade for you guys.

 

Do you want to take a look at it? And if the answer is 'Yes' should i send it per PM or simply upload it here in this thread?

I'm all for it, but we should probably wait until @DeepBlueFrog says something.

[Aylis]

Works for me. ?

 

I've been running it for some time now and everything seems to be OK. I also got quite far into the quest too (just before Riften) without any CTD.

 

Pics are replacable placeholders atm and maybe i put a bit too much into the loose files. Thats the thing you'd have to check.

 

 

€: Almost forgot one thing. The mod 'Luminosity' seems to be problematic. The cellar/storage and bath are fine, but the temple and the rest are way to bright. Blueish White would be my description of the lighting there (noticed it when i saw the screenshots).

What does the fomod do exactly?

And yes.. you can share it by PM and I will post it to the download area.

 

For the lighting... I added some light sources to these cells but they should be more localized.

 

I am using an ENB and a lighting correction mod, maybe that explains it on my end.

I will try to look at the lighting without ENB next time I go there.

@Adviser69 @DeepBlueFrog

PMs are on the way… (once the upload is finished) (Finished and out)

 

Please tell me if i have to change something (description, version, etc.) in the XML.

 

 

€: Almost overlooked the question.

 

The FOMOD combines all files for the SSE in one package. Everything can be selected by the user (if he wants to have the sisters addon installed, what bodytype he uses, etc). In my beginners guide/list i recommend extracting files from the BSA to prevent a bug. Which btw might be specific to my list. A lot of people got a problem with that and with the FOMOD it is fixed with just one (optional) mouseclick more.

Myself and another user appear to be experiencing a CTD when entering sleeping at the alter in SD+.  Have all prerequisite mods, and slavery/defeat otherwise works well.  Playing as a male, with female sanguine selected.  Let me know if there's any additional information it would help to provide.

 

[whraven]

Just a personal note on SLStories. I did a brief test conversion on it (resave in CK, plus Asset Optimizer), and, for the most part, it works. I've used it in SSE successfully up to a point. Two Tamriel cells cause instant CTD. One just south of Rorikstad and one just north of Cracked Tusk Keep. No idea why at this point. I've tried looking at it in SSEdit and don't see anything obvious. I've also tried re-creating the FaceGen data, which hasn't helped. However, all other aspects seem to work fine. I've done the Pet encounter several times, and a portion of the Red Wave once. Not extensive testing, true, but if I can discover the CTD cause I may take it further.

 

Just an FYI for those who are interested.

... and here is another thorn in my side. The reported bug, not you, just so we're clear.

I know part of the problem stems from the current conversion of Devious Devices, namely with the Heretical resources that DD uses, specifically the chain type restraints. There is a mesh error in them from left over HDT-PE weights, and this causes CTD. I know there is a hotfix out for it and has been, but often times it seems players either install it wrong or it just doesn't work. In this case it's a good idea to install the hotfix, then rebuild your DD outfits using the latest bodyslide files for your chosen body type. 

 

Another part of the problem could be the facegens for Sanguine (both forms) and the Alicias. This is a similar problem that I keep hearing from people with the SE conversion of Sisterhood of Dibella. Try the DD fix first, and if that doesn't work, open up the plugin in CK, use ctrl+F4 to export the facegen of all SD actors, and resave the plugin.
