SOS VectorPlexus Dawnguard Snow Elf Patch

View File

 

 

- Overview -

 

This is a patch for Schlongs of Skyrim 1.1.4 SE to add schlongs to Dawnguard Snow Elf NPCs - Gelebor, Vyrthur, and the spectral prelates who man the wayshrines.

 

This mod consists of an ESL-flagged ESP file and 4 texture files for Snow Elf skin textures.

 

Please keep in mind that I am not a skin texture artist. The 4 Snow Elf skin texture files are simply copies of the regular body, hands, head, and genitals textures but desaturated and brightness increased by 50. The Snow Elf NPCs will look different from their vanilla appearance when using these skin textures. In particular, they will not have the pink coloration. You can swap in different textures if you want.

 

 

- New Game -

 

This patch works automatically when you begin a new game. On a new game, Snow Elf NPCs will automatically have schlongs when you meet them.

 

 

- Existing Game in which you have not encountered any Snow Elves -

 

If you install this patch on an existing game, you need to go into the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM General Settings page and choose Restart SOS. Snow Elf NPCs will automatically have schlongs when you meet them.

 

 

- Existing Game in which you have already encountered Snow Elves -

 

If you install this patch on an existing game, you need to go into the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM General Settings page and choose Restart SOS. Snow Elf NPCs will not  be given schlongs automatically. You will need to go into the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM Player / NPC Settings page and manually give a schlong to each Snow Elf NPC.

Is this part of Tempered Skins for Males - SOS Version ?

 

Or is this still needed on top of that one ?

 

The reason I ask, is that I am getting overwrite warnings for 4 DDS files, including Snow Elf male genitals.

No, there is no relationship between this mod and "Tempered Skins for Males".

I have never used Tempered Skins for Males, so I looked at its file list on Nexus in order to answer this question.

 

"Tempered Skins for Males - SOS Full version" only includes textures and some armor mesh replacements. It does not include an ESP file, so it does not have the necessary ESP records to make SOS work for Snow Elf NPCs.

 

In contrast, my mod does have an ESL-flagged ESP file to provide the records to make SOS work for Snow Elf NPCs.

 

You definitely need the ESP file from my mod.

It is a fortunate coincidence that both my mod and "Tempered Skins for Males - SOS Full version" use same the texture file names, so you can choose which texture files you want to use.

 

I have never used Tempered Skins for Males, and I was not aware that "Tempered Skins for Males - SOS Full version" included Snow Elf skin textures. My guess is that we both followed the SOS texture file naming convention, so we ended up with matching texture file names.

 

 

Anyway, thanks @YojimboRatchet for bringing this to my attention! I think this will be very useful information for other folks.

Had problems with floating heads. Your mod is ok, but DLC Dawnguard is the culprit.

Either is only my DLC, or it's a common problem, bug Dawnguard.

Removing armor race completely fixed it. This is the reason:

 

Same ID for 2 races in Dawnguard !

Got floating head or with other race my game didn't load at all.

Yes, my mod does include an override record for the SnowElfRace. The only change that I made was to correct a Bethesda mistake.

 

You can delete the SnowElfRace override record from my mod if it is causing a problem for you. The SnowElfRace override record is just nice to have, but is not essential for my mod to work. If you delete my mod's SnowElfRace override record, then you will see two "High Elf" entries in the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM.

 

When Bethesda copied the HighElfRace record to make the SnowElfRace record, they forgot to change the race name from "High Elf" to "Snow Elf".

 

My mod fixes that mistake and names the race "Snow Elf" so that the race name appears correctly in the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM / VectorPlexus Regular page.

 

See the screenshot below showing how my mod has fixed the "Snow Elf" race name:

It works, renamed High Elf to Snowelf and left armor race empty.

Everything ok. I opened it up anyway in Xedit and searched for the ID and found this Bethesda bug.

Needed to delete the armor race entry because either no body or no start. It's a 600h play, on new start I will shift it up

but not on this play now or just leave it, as it works.

Got the same as you, as I changed the name, this is not critical.

The Bethesda bug is same ID for 2 races, difficult to fix, as one cannot delete one race.

Actually, xEdit showing two races with the same FormID is an xEdit quirk, not a Bethesda bug.

 

When a mod (like mine) changes the name of a race in a race override record, then xEdit lists two races with the same FormID in the drop-down list.

 

That is a confusing user interface issue with xEdit, and Bethesda is not at fault for this.

Hi, I was thinking of D/L this mod but am having a dificult time finding the VectorPlexus addon that is needed along with SOS, Can you provide me with a direct link to the VectorPlexus addon file that's needed? Thanks

The VectorPlexus addon is included in the SOS download.
 

It has been a while since I installed SOS, but I think you choose VectorPlexus in the FOMOD installer?

I'm getting underwear on the snow elves instead of a schlong even though I've tried to assign one - any ideas how to fix?

Which Snow Elf NPCs?

 

Please note that this patch only works for Dawnguard Snow Elf NPCs that use the actual Dawnguard Snow Elf race. This mod will not work for other mod-added NPCs that use a different race other than the actual Dawnguard Snow Elf race.

 

In my testing, if I had already encountered Snow Elf NPCs in my game before installing this patch, then I would see the brown underwear on them after installing this patch.

 

As I said in this mod's description, after installing this patch, I had to go into the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM General Settings page and choose Restart SOS.

 

Then I had to go into the Schlongs of Skyrim MCM Player / NPC Settings page and manually give a schlong to each Snow Elf NPC.

 

If you did both of those steps, and your Snow Elf NPC still has brown underwear, then I am stumped about how to fix that.

Thank you so much for making this. :) I've had Gelebor as a follower forever and it's nice to know he finally has a schlong.

 

I installed this on an existing game and was able to restart SOS and assign the schlong to him - much appreciate it.

 

Had one question, if that's okay - I can remove his outfit and he'll be naked (with the schlong included), but once I give him a new outfit, he just equips the SOS underwear instead if it's a mod-added outfit. I can get him to equip vanilla armour properly (I'm using Gelebor Armor Fix + iAFT to manage his outfit), but mod-added amour just results in the SOS undies. Any thoughts maybe on why that might be? No worries if not, but thought it was worth asking... my CK skills are limited but I can give it a try if there might be something in this patch I could tweak.

 

And either way, thank you again for this patch.

Are you asking about a revealing garment that should show a schlong when the garment is being worn?

 

A revealing garment needs the SOSRevealing keyword in order to show a schlong when the garment is being worn. You can make an ESL-flagged ESP patch that adds the SOSRevealing keyword to garments that should have the keyword.

Hey, thanks so much for the response, appreciate it.

 

And no, I'm just trying to give him a regular outfit (not trying to make any outfits revealing).

 

Like, he'll be naked, and then I'll give him some armour to wear; but instead of equipping the armour, he just equips a pair of undies instead (it's the SOS undies overwritten by Rustic Clothing). He is equipping vanilla armour correctly (I think due to the Gelebor Armor Fix mod I'm using), but giving him anything mod-added just results in him wearing undies instead.

 

Could be something weird with my set-up; I'll keep fiddling with things on my end.

Okay, now I understand the issue that you are describing.

 

Each Armor (ARMO) record in an ESM or ESP is related to a set of one or more ArmorAddon (ARMA) records.

 

Each ArmorAddon (ARMA) record specifies what races it is intended for. This system is how the game enables different variations of an armor for different races; for example, the main version of an armor can be used by all non-beast races, and then a second version of the armor can be used by beast races with tails.

 

The challenge with Snow Elves is that armors typically never indicate that they are intended for Snow Elves. Specifically, the ArmorAddon (ARMA) record does not list SnowElfRace as one of the possible races in the "Additional Races" section of the ARMA record. When you try to equip the armor on a Snow Elf like Gelebor, then nothing shows up on the character.

 

You can patch the ARMA record and add the SnowElfRace to the list of Additional Races. Then the armor should show up when equipped on a Snow Elf.

 

Hope that helps!

Ahh that does make sense actually, thank you for the information and the detailed explanation. :) Much appreciate the help.

I see the race edits can be safely removed from this mod, which is very encouraging! But for the sake of other races SOS refuses to auto apply, can you tell me how you got SOS to recognize the Snow Elves? If you'd prefer to answer in PM, I'm fine with that.  

 

Someone on the SOS thread was asking about auto-applying to COTR races. Because SOS refuses to recognize custom races automatically, complaining that they have an incompatible skeleton even if they use the default skeleton path, I'd LOVE to know if your technique could work for them, since many of my NPC overhauls and followers use custom races. Thank you advance!

The best thing to do is use SSEEdit to see exactly what records I needed to change, and what new records I needed to add.

 

I took care to only change just the bare minimum of what was needed to make the Snow Elf race work with SOS.

 

Everything that I added or changed is needed, but there are no extra changes, with the exception of the Snow Elf race record, although without that race record change, you will see duplicate High Elf entries in the SOS MCM.

 

One of my goals for this mod was to demonstrate what is needed to add a race to SOS, since that was previously a big mystery for people, including me.

 

I hope that helps!

Hmm... Yes, I opened it in XEdit to see which records you changed, however, seeing HOW you changed the records wasn't as easy, lol. I guess it'll take some careful scrutinizing and comparing.

You can turn on the feature in SSEEdit to “Hide no conflict and empty rows”. That will show you exactly what I changed.

Thanks, just a question, does this sos works on female as well?
