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

 

Dawnguard only adds male Snow Elves, not females.

 

Sorry, I do not know anything about adding male genitals to female (futa) characters. I don't know whether this mod would support that.

Is there Mod that adds female vanilla Snow Elves or something?

 

There is a mod on Nexus called True Snow Elf Race that transforms the Dawnguard Snow Elf race into a playable race, and enables it for females also.

 

There is a mod on Nexus called The Ancient Falmer - A Snow Elf Race SE. That mod adds an entirely new race that is separate from the Dawnguard Snow Elf race.

 

I have not tested my mod with either of those mods. My mod certainly would not interoperate with The Ancient Falmer, since that mod introduces a completely separate race.

 

My guess is that my mod might work with True Snow Elf Race, if the True Snow Elf Race plugin is lower in the load order (meaning higher priority) than my mod.

I'm actually uninterested in adding any females to my game (LOL), I was just confused by that question. XD But thank you all the same, others may benefit.

So I'm finally trying to make the switch to SSE, and as a result, was at last able to try out this mod. I didn't realize that it was inaccessible through the MCM (at least as a it's own addon), and- as a result- unavailable to apply to followers who use Snow Elf skins if they're not DG Snow Elf Races without them simply using the default VP Regular textures. It also seems as though I can't define a different mesh if I want to, even if it wasn't an esl that couldn't be edited.  I might find some way to make it work,  but it's a shame this is the only way to apply it to Snow Elves automatically.

 

Edit: Okay, actually, this worked better than I could have hoped! I decided to try it alongside my own Snow Elf addon that I couldn't make apply automatically, to make sure I at least had that one available for custom followers who needed it. When I made that addon, I had added Snow Elves to all the required form lists, as well as set the Snow Elf probability to 100, and it still didn't auto-apply... Until I installed this mod, now my version DOES auto-apply!  Not what I expected, but I definitely ain't complaining. Thanks!

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.

I'm also having the issue of the existing game crashing before it even starts.  On a new game it works fine, but I'd like to continue with my existing game.  I tried deleting the SkinNakedSnowElf Armor RNAM entry (from the SOSVectorPlexusSnowElf.esp) and tried deleting the SkinNakedSnowElf Armor record all together, also tried deleting the '0200377D SnowElfRace "Snow Elf"' Race record all together, but still it crashes on load.  I did not make any changes to the Dawnguard.esm at all, so when you said you changed the name from High Elf to Snow Elf, how did you do that since I'd think that's what the Race record in the SOSVectorPlexusSnowElf.esp does.  Can you be a bit more specific about how you got this to work on an existing game.  Thanks!!

an existing game

Disable SOS dll, load game, ignote sos messges, save.

Enable SOS dll, load game, watch sos registering schlongs (takes a while), save.

Proceed or better, quit to desktop, start, load latest save.

I would not expect my mod to cause your game to crash.

 

Are you saying that you added my mod to your game and then your existing game saves crashed when loading?

 

Did you add my mod's ESP file at the end of your load order?

 

Because, in general, you can only add ESP files to the end of your load order for existing saves to work properly.

 

VirginMarie calls this the "Golden Rule": https://virginmarie1.wixsite.com/toys/post/golden-rule

Thank you Tlam99, that worked and I didn't even need to modify the SOSVectorPlexusSnowElf.esp at all!!  You saved me hundreds of hours.  Very much appreciated.

 

And thank you Herowynne for making this MOD.  It's so frustrating to see a schlongless NPC.  Yes, I know about the "Golden Rule", and it was crashing even when loaded last in my case (I have 35 SOS addons - most Zmerged - so not sure if that contributes).  Thank you both again!

Great job! Do you have a tutorial on creating such SOS plugins? I also want to learn how to create a similar plugin.

Sorry, I don’t have a separate tutorial, but this mod is intended to serve as a tutorial for how to make a race plugin for SOS.

 

Simply open this mod in SSEEdit, turn on “Hide no conflict and empty rows” and see what changes this mod makes.
