add meshes and texture folders to data(temporarily) with proper sub folders with applicable files(dds,nif) so ck can find your dds,nif files for your mod while in ck.

It's been a long time since I make standalone follower so I have to remember some specifics for you. Lets just start with where you are getting hung up, your in ck and your telling certain meshes to finds nifs that ck is not showing you,Or you trying to have ck define what textures go to certain meshes, We are talking file pathing, where does these things(meshes) find their nif files and what textures go to the nif files. 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically, you have your mod your making currently in MO/Mods folder where all your mods are, you should. Copy and paste you meshes and textures folder from mod into data, it can safely be removed later and unless you an advanced mo user you should have no meshes and texture folders in data, this is going to make remove them when done real easy cause we know they only have applicable content with current follower project, so when done they can just be removed. If you do have meshes and texture folders in your data we should talk about it, but ultimately no big deal and for now you can easily do backup of those folders.

I'm not sure what your asking. You need to load only your mod in ck when working on standalone follower, because it is standalone you are taking all textures from applicable mods like eyes of beauty,ks hairs, you are grabbing your body,hand,feet meshes and textures for those meshes and having that packaged into your mod, if following skyla video she instructs you take all needed files and place them into your mod folders, this is what ck is not seeing, trick ck and copy and paste same meshes and tex folders from your mod into data and launch ck from mo with you mod and ck will now see folders. when done remove folders from data.

the 

Standalone Follower Starter .esp in video description

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

you got not files showing when you are just trying to load ck? 

 

no good, cant do anything like that. 

 

Where do you have MO installed? 

 

You should at least be seeing skyrim,update, and dlcs

 

 

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

im off work rest of today, got to run out in a few hours for an hour than I'll be back again. So time is pretty good rest of day. Lets get your MO right so you can make us a standalone follower please(hopefully good looking)

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

Where is mo installed and do you launch ck from MO

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

you should at minimum see the skyrim and update,plus dlc's esm's in your data directory in ck

 

 

 

 

 

 

You need to get skyrim and dlcs in ck first. after we get that you need to set up an ini file in your data folder to help you run ck. Once we get that you can watch this video, of a nmm user, setting up ck to run multiple masters which you should set up, you might get a few different looks in video cause they are nmm user but the process they show you for setting up loading multi masters is not depended on any particular mod manager, its setting up an ini in your data folder.

 

You should also look up info on how to disable warnings when loading stuff in ck, cant remember how as that has not been done on my end in a long time, you really want to do that though.

yes LE yes humu humu

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

Im so dumbfounded that your data directory in ck is empty. 

 

I keep MO in my steam folder, actually in skyrim folder that is in steam folder, but I use to keep it outside of steam and I dont think I ever had empty data( no skyrim or dlc esm's).

 

Do you have your creationkit.exe file inside you steam/steamapps/common/skyrim folder? 

 

You launch ck form here? 

 

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

fast forward to 6 minutes, disregard it looking like he is talking about fallout game and watch for a few minutes to get mo to see your game.

i have no mods instaled whithout MO2...maybe 2

[Heroine HoneyCrotch]

I dont think it is going to be any help but for a quick minute try launching ck from creationkit.exe file which should be in skyrim folder. We want to see skyrim and dlc esm's

all of those esp's and esm's should be loading into ck. 

 

I have to search even harder nowadays as google really wants me/us on SE. If you could find a gopher or gamerpoets video on setting MO up with ck we would probably find a clue.

 I cant watch videos to save my life. Gamerpoets and gopher are good though. 

 

I have to admit, I seen MO and follower tutorial and I instantly knew(was so wrong) that you weren't finding your textures and meshes from new mod you were making and not that ck wasnt loading any esp/esms. So we burnt a little time on your next,easy obstacle. That was my bad, bad user! Try launching creation kit exe file when you get back in the mood and we'll try again, if/when you want

 

Rick and Morty free marathon on AS(Adult swim.com) Had to watch a cool 2 minute video showing round earth before it started playing but it's there.
