YII-TECHNIQUES-LABORS *Children of the Sky* -R2- UPD-09.02.

Ive got CoTS R2 installed and this is the normal NORD female i don;t see any disformed or stranges face both are perfect no influence by CoTS with normal adult races.

 

This standard nord when you first open racemenu:

 

Screenshot3561.jpg  Screenshot1824.jpg

 

This when its tweak in racemenu:

 

Screenshot76612.jpg

 

 

 

That is not what the normal Nord female looks like. That is what it looks like with CotS. It is clear that CotS assets are overwriting the Nord assets in that picture. The face is rounder and "squished" and the eyes are larger, along with the face texture being smoother. That is caused by CotS overwriting the vanilla races.

 

So yes, CotS does "influence" the vanilla races. It overwrites the assets and redirects them to use CotS assets. The Reworked version does the exact same thing, as well as overwriting certain armor assets too.

 

 

 

But in racemenu evetually i can make a beautiful face so i dont realy see problem here i never start a character from start and go ingame.

 

We all know CoTS R2 will not change anymore we have to live with that, but the normal adults dont look that bad i think. No neckseam or different color face body.

 

 

 

Well I had some neck-seams with npcs, unfortunately... and overall I'm not a fan of the fact that this mod replaces adult playable races assets (like hair for ex).

Apart from that, this mod is awesome indeed, probably dead but awesome.

I'd like to thank you guys on your feedback on how to improve Serana!
I was using AFx12 throu' the launcher from the previous screenshot. Changed it to 0 at launcher and 16 from graphic card. Used the method the STEP guide uses.

 

At first I wasn't sure what was meant with skin file looking very compressed, until today when I happen upon a mod where they told you not to compress the normal-maps included in the mod. Went ahead and exported the normal-map using different settings. This time file-size came out more looking like what other mods would give me. Also I think it looks better. But that might just be the lighting.

 

Lastly I took the screenshot not using Mage Light as light source as that is what I think caused the "blue face" thingy.

 

I think she looks a lot better now. Still not sure about what difference my AF setting does though.

This is my first time looking at this thread in a while.

 

Please forgive me if it's already posted (motivation waned a bit 6 pages in), but how do I go about CotS'ing Serana?

You have to use the right body type and place all files in right maps make sure you install all files involving CoTS and the update compatibillity patch also somewhere in this topic.

 

Or install RCoTS also which have latest updates concerning compatibillity for CoTS.

 

If in female map or oriental map still vampire files remove them or your grey head stays.

 

Also something with facegendata but i never have changed anything with that map seems not related all tho many claim you have to replace that also.

 

Carefull place CoTS mainfile without the racecompatibillity and xvisionchildren dont install those.

 

Then install ALL files Reworked CoTS main file-friendly RCoTS and Hostile RCoTS this should remove your gaps seams greyfaces.

Not sure it actually can be found in this thread. It's quite complicated thing to do, at least for me to explain in depth. I suppose easiest way would be to make YChildren of the Sky.esp a master, then just change Serana to use that race in CK. Not sure if that'll have any conflicts though.

 

The way I did it though was to use all the assets in this mod to change SeranaRace (can't remember if it's her default race or if I made it) to look the same as x117 race. Main reason I came here for advice was because with the same assets, you've got the same possibilities to get the same looks. Actually to be frank. I just happen to go by here, saw how awesome some characters made looked and that made me start posting xD

 

Anyways, you should be save changing Serana to use x117 race I believe. Heard of others who changed her race to NordVampire, and didn't see any  issue posted there. But I can't support you if you go down the road of esmifying YChildren of the Sky.esp since I have no idea if there is any consiquenses to that. Should be safe to go with the fake-esmifying path though.

 

Anyways, that's about it I suppose.

AFx16 is just good gaming sense my friend : ) About zero performance loss, and your further-away textures won't look like muddled puddles of rubbish! Forcing x16 through the video card gives you even more finer, crisper distances as you would see right in front of your characters feet for a few yards without AF enabled.

As for this whole lolifying Serana .. come on now guys. Grab the SkyrimBeautifulFollowers Serana from nexus or try to find HelloSanta's old Serana revamp if you can (I'm using it : ) -- She looks innncreeeedddibbleee. SBF Serana looks good too.

Honestly, I play this game with about 90% "realism"-mods and about 10% "fluff" mods -- opposed to my 90% fluff and 10% realism in Oblivion .. maybe because that game looked like a cartoon to begin with. To each his own of course, but as much as I love my rori and the other xvision kids, I could never do that too poor Serana : ( haha~

 

[itt1968]

love the mod and had no problems with the install but, I do have a Q and a concern. do i have to use my UNP mod or can I use UNPB, dont care if the lil one bounces or not but I do want to see the big girls bounce, all my outfits and armor are UNPB and I dont want to change any of that. next, Every time I go to the testing hall with my lil one, the game crashes (love my spell books :-) ), I use the X32 skeleton for my UNPB and high res skin text and it never did it before so I was just wondering if that is a problem with this mod... and finally, were do I place the optional voice package at? im pretty good at adding mods so, I thought I knew but, my lil one still sounds like a full grown barbarian... lol ! Thank you for all your hard work with this wonderful mod and im sorry for waisting your time with my problems but, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which manager do you use?

 

Also, skin texture mods will affect everyone except you. No conflict.

 

CHSBHC...aaaaawww yeeeah....

[itt1968]

I mostly use NMM but mods from here I do myself... i have TES5 and BOSS but I dont use them to download.

Alright, thanks, I'll try the MO, but even you admitted this mod doesnt work well with MO ( on the home page ).

[Kyamitsu]

I have a problem. It seems whenever I make the child (The Third person camera is fine mind you) when I go into first person, I'm a 6'11" giant! I use enhanced character edit. Maybe that's the problem? (And yes, I installed the height changer for the COTS mod)

PM. (sigh...here we go again)

 

With MO, you'll never have the scrunchy face...it's worth it. Not to mention the CotS music gets stuck...MO is wonderful.

[itt1968]

DUDE... this is the same thing I use for my Sims game... well at least it looks like it, if it is then kewl, Ill be familiar with it at least but, does it really require skse and finis to work for Skyrim?

[AwfulArchdemon]

Put the camera height adjustment esp after your skeleton, or learn how to change the height in the skyrim.ini. I posted a solution to this recently, on this thread.

 

 

Put this in your skyrim.ini, and if you use MO, be sure to put this in the skyrim.ini in your Skyrim\Mod Organizer\Profiles\Filthy Whore\skyrim.ini directory:

 

 

[Camera]

ffOverShoulderAddY=0.0000

fOverShoulderPosZ=-25.0000

fOverShoulderPosX=0.0000

fOverShoulderPosY=0.0000

fOverShoulderCombatAddY=0.0000

fOverShoulderCombatPosZ=-15.0000

fOverShoulderCombatPosX=0.0000

fOverShoulderCombatPosY=10.0000

fOverShoulderHorseAddY=180.0000

fOverShoulderHorsePosZ=60.0000

fOverShoulderHorsePosX=50.0000

f1st3rdSwitchDelay=0.9500

iHorsTransitionMillis=001

FMouseWheelZoomSpeed=60.0000

 

 

 

...Put it under [Water]

 

And don't use 'Racemenu' mod from Nexus with this. It ends badly...

[itt1968]

Kewl... and Thanks once again!

[AwfulArchdemon]

No, you didn't use this for the Sims. Tannin42 might have mentioned that to the OP of SimLab.

 

 

SKSE is a must. FNIS is a must. MO......is a must. CotS, is tricky with MO, unless of course you've dissected it, and looked at the file paths that the NMM version (mirror 8) has.

[itt1968]

Ok dude.. truethfully, I think he just tweeked it to work with Skyrim but... I dont really care! my game runs smoother now than it has in months... even with just over 300 mods, all active! I tip my hat to the "creator" and I once again thank you for the advice.  Oh, by the way, I highly advise this mod to anyone having problems with any mods... its Awesome!

RealVision/HRK ENB-RLO.

 

UNP skinny installed.

 

CoTS R2 is UNP based but standalone mod.

 

Flat chest version.

 

First screen is standard CoTS R2 with the latest patches from RCoTS(i don't install the CoTS R2 comp-xvisionchildren anymore just to old).

 

Secondscreen CoTS R2 second body texture for fuller lips and variation body+muscles texture from True Daughters of Skyrim i use these becouse body looks alot more realistic then the little unnatural looks of standard body.

 

Thirdscreen/fourth is CoTS R2 with full body textures from Full install of True daughters of skyrim.

 

If standard ZERO SEAMS but looks a little fake.

 

With True daughters you get a slight neckseam(still hard to see) and hand seam this offcorse easly covered with neckless and gloves.

 

Its all matter of taste offcorse this way my girls don't real look children more like young women but with small boobs and slim body.

 

On all body's i use wet body textures from SG Renewal mod.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see in third screen neckseam almost not visable.

 

All files carefully installed in right maps.

Oh, come on! You can't say she doesn't look beautiful! I did set her height to 0.91 rather than 0.8 that the lolis are. So she isn't 100% a little loli. Rather a young girl. Besides, most girls I fancy around me real life area of the shorter type

 

Also this picture is taken with Magelight on this time. Reduced it's radius to 900 from 1350 (had downloaded a mod to make it bigger, never realized it made it 3 times bigger than vanilla). Made overbrighted faces less of an issue having it on

[AwfulArchdemon]

I'd rather keep adults their normal size. I have no desire to change the age of the npc's. I've always just wanted the kids to look better, and that's why I use XVC. CotS just let's me use a kid. I always install XVC after CotS, to change CotS kids to XVC, to avoid crushing lore. Anime is a bit much for Skyrim.
