What is the hair called? Believe it came with this mod. It is the first choice I personally get. It is kind of long. It has a strand of hair going down in front with a bead/jewelry at the end of it. It looks really really nice. Probably best hair I've ever seen for Skyrim.

 

However, for me...half the hair is the wrong texture. The front part of it changes correctly, but the back half stays the same black/darker texture. And even with the darkest color, it is still has a visible seam in it.

 

Would love to know if there is a fix for it, or if the files were copied over wrong or something.

Okay this has a huge bug when Dawnguard and/or UFO module is installed. when one of them is installed some of female children removed their top and also a hand seam occurs. but it doesn't happen when only heartfire module is installed. I tried to edit through CK but it made crash the CK. I dunno the reason can u fix this up? thanks

Hello Jiitek,

 

Thank you for this mod, I had a whole post earlier but deleted it back then, so hereby, thank you again. You did a seriously good artistic job on this, the sky children look awesome and really well done. So well that I even donated some money that I could afford to miss to you, also not exactly swimming in money haha.

I like it even more because you are a modder who does not only do females but also males, modders should do that more and if I knew how to mod I certainly would too. :)

 

I do however have a few questions:

 

Could you make a male version of the following sets?

Zhaetheria Legend Retouch.

BNS Assassin Retouch.

 

Those two are so beautiful but they only work on the female, on male the Zhaeteria Legend Retouch makes the male body invisible and thus you only see a floating head then.

As for the BNS Assassin Retouch, well, on male that shows as some normal heavy armor.

I'd like those sets to look completely the same as it does on females for males but then maybe add an option for removing or keeping on the bra.

The way those sets look and their colours, they're perfect! (reminds me a bit of Naruto and such)

 

My second question is voices for the male children, could you add those? As well, a teen boy with the voice of an adult male sounds very off.

I made a folder for the males and placed in the extra voices in the download you had for the females and that works but they are too high pitched for a teen boy.

I do have the mod 'Player Re-Voiced Elven Races Complete'  from Casey (he did absolute perfect voice acting) and that voice is absolutely perfect for teen boys but I don't know how to make it work for the Sky Male Children as it is for Elven Races and so it's perfect for my Male Drow Child as it works for them but like I said, I have no idea how to make it work for my male Sky child.

Can you (or someone else if ok) make it work for the Sky male child (if ok with Casey of course) and/or tell me how to, or add voices for the male sky child that are similar? As the adult voice just really is not right for it and is really off-putting.

 

I'd really appreciate it.

 

(I also posted a request in the topic 'Drow Race with Child Race' from Zazemel, I take it he still checks up on things? http://www.loverslab.com/topic/5843-drow-race-with-child-race/page-3?do=findComment&comment=343837 )

 

 

Thank you kindly Jiitek and keep it up, I appreciate your artistry.

Well I wanted a tattooed body, so I messed around with transfering the tattoos from this tattoo mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23612 onto the CotS body texture. I think it came out rather nice:

I'll upload the .dds texture file in case anyone wants it! Keep up the amazing work Jiitek! I can't wait for R3! :D

Wow, where did you get that bikini from?  I don't want to threadjack, but I tried to send you a private message, but it appears you can't use the PM system or somesuch.  Would you have a link for that? It's super cute!

UFO includes a lot of follower data, some of which is from the original game some is from the DLC. I imagine something CoTS is dependent on is being changed back to vanilla by UFO when it expects it to be the Dawnguard setup. I just went through it last night with TES5Edit making a merged patch and most of my NPC conflicts were in UFO. I know it might be too obvious, but have you tried moving the CoTS ESPs lower in the load order?

 

If you have and it doesn't help you may have to make a merged patch of your own. It was really confusing for me getting started, took several days of reading and tutorial watching. Last night it clicked for whatever reason and I was able to make my first merged patch. 2 hours of game play and totally rock solid. Happy me! There's a tutorial from a member of this site, I can't remember the thread but here's the video it takes you to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pi5u2qwdxg

 

Don't know if you're running R2 or R3, but I imagine these conflicts will get much better in R3 as it sounds like most of the dependencies have been removed. I was pretty happy with R2 but started using big rework mods which don't play nicely. Waiting eagerly for R3 to see if I can get it to play nicely with all the other mods I use. :D

true I just checked the UFO date and it seems it's pretty much outdated. so I installed the AFT, will see how it works. but I saw someone reported it makes serana not to talk about her surrounding like how the sun affects her.

installed this mod to make the child's match their now better looking parents, but ended up with some of them having darkened faces and missing wrists.
The hand texture seems to be alligned wrong, as the finger texture goes in both directions (guess that why there's no wrist).
i have no intention to play this race, so i can't say if the same graphical error's would apply to my toon as well, even tho i'm sure they would.
i'm using CBBEv3 and thought it would work, as most UNP based mod's work fine with this body replacer.
Maybe i'm wrong in this case? Any way to make those 2 work together?

 

Regarding UFO: Getting rid of it or replacing it is highly recommended as most new mod's clash horrible with it. Switched to AFT myself. What a relief.

Possibility for micro managing your followers, but thankfully optional.

Wow, that's awsome!  Ask and ye shall find you've already done it!  :D

 

 

Anyone else having issues DLing from mega.co.nz?  This file seems to stick at 24% for me, then says its completed without passing 24%, and leaving a 0kb .mega file in my downloads folder. Strange!

don't install the dawnguard and the UFO modules. they mess up the mod. just avoid them both. Heartfire is fine though.

Ok. Will try. Thanks.

Maybe i should try w/o the USP patch as well, just in case.

Does anyone know where all the music is from found in the option Music of the Sky? I heard from the demo that one was from Lineage II and another from Howl's Moving Castle however I'd like to know all of them :)

but still using dawnguard module is enough to ruin the meshes of the children. both dawnguard and the UFO modules doesn't function properly but I didn't test without UFO installed so it's better you try to install just the dawnguard module and let us know the result. go to the whiterun and check some children after installed this.

i don't have the UFO patch installed, as i switched to AFT.

So in conclusion to what you wrote, the Dawnguard patch should be the cause as it replaces the CotS RaceCompatibility.ESM.

The UFO and USP patches just come with scripts. in my opinion very unlikely that those can cause the gaphical errors i got.

 

Anyhow. Will try what you suggested first, when i got the time and report back.

 

 

EDiT:

Reinstalled CotS w/o Dawnguard patch.

All graphical errors solved. No more darkened faces or missing wrists.

Thanks for the help, Andromedian.

Is there anyone who has joined the companions and become a werewolf with their child? I just want to know if the body of the child werewolf is the same as the vanilla (or Derrax's which is the one I use) for adult characters, and if Jitek isn't too busy or is thinking of an R4 that perhaps a werewolf cub might get on the to-do list?

 

I think perhaps integrating the armor remesh mod and remeshing anything that wasn't, and editing some of the armor add-ons so that when you get iron armor (for example) from the smith it is automatically the children of the sky mesh rather than the vanilla mesh (I know how to do it, I just can't mesh things. It is the same concept as the fact that "SkinNaked" in the race screen for the race's default skin is different for each race despite having the same name. ArmorAddons, check the list for races that use the mesh and go into the armor piece and add in the new addon. If I had access to my CK I'd be able to do it myself, but I'm not on my game PC and don't have steam access due to no internets connected to it.)

These are all indeed things I have in mind - my current plan is to do the male followers /followers update after R3. For the males I want todo armor I cant promise now those will be the above sets in the end - I need to see how they turn out / if they are fitting them somehow. But something along this style yes...

 

Same for male voice - hopefully will get it done for the followers /addon for PC.

 

Looking into things like a suited werewolf /vampire lord replacer are things for a possible R4. But I think you can use existing ones right now too...(I remember trying out a strange and funny mob mesh to replace the werewolf).

Or the male vanilla armor addons yes...but as usual I dont want to promise anything or give eta´s - and I need to find that link again for the remesh files - does anyone have it booked? - its horror to search many pages with a capped line :/
