OSA\Osex and SexLab\LoversLab installs

[BDNelson]

Damn, sorry. As soon as I get those other mods installed and working, I haven't forgotten what you are looking for. You'll hear about it.

 

Your playing Skyrim then? Well finishing set up at least, yes?

[BDNelson]

I hope someone is learning something from our class, been seeing a lot of visitors coming and going. Just did my 3rd or 4th test run(?), everything 5X5 so far.

Glad it's working!  I was a bit fuddled there - didn't see page 41. Bit slow on the uptake.

Have we been 41 pages?  Maybe we ought to set up a Skyrim Help Website!  Lol.

 

Hope others have got something from this. Be nice if they said 'hello' and let us know.

Perhaps I'll be able to build it myself.  By the way, I did check into your Kissing idea but I don't think Sexlab Triggers can do that much complexity. Shame - was a good one. But I'll keep the idea for the mod I am trying to create. It would be good to have dual endings. Or one following the other!

I wish they would say hello too. The more heads the better, I think. Yeah, one for Vortex and MO2, both. (help site). Damn shame about the Sleeping mod, thought I had there for a sec. There is hugging too, maybe, ah well, hope you fare well with the mod creation. Animation Motion had an update, I was careful about SE\AE. There is an AE one, I didn't get it. Had some with my toys stuff too, discovered I was using a mod for CBBE only instead of 3bbb, fixed that. Just thought of a question about animations. Where in the install order does it make sense to install them, after all FNIS mods (they are in) obviously, but I'm not exactly sure. Talking about non-SL\LL animation mods, I do those with the sex mods.

If they are animations with no ESP/ESPFE to put them in the game, my preference is to put them at the end of my install order.  But this is because I use MO2.  I'm putting them after all the ESP mods, and then any FNIS output file (that is not actually the FNIS ESP) goes at the end of the animations as a kind of mod without ESP.

 

This may not be good practice.  It's just something I tend to do so I can prevent anything accidentally overwriting the animation folders, and spot conflicts quickly.

 

If the animation mod has an ESP / ESPFE, then  it goes wherever LOOT puts it. 

 

That's my take. Don't let it be gospel to you - you may want to read up and see if there are proper ways to do it.

I don't mean the load order, LOOT does that. I mean when to install, but I understand what you are saying about at the end of the install order. I was thinking the same thing because FNIS takes so long to do the "updating animations" thing. The more anim's are installed the longer FNIS takes. That's what I see, anyway. 

[BDNelson]

All user interface stuff is in. I love "iLuvLoading", great mod. Went in game, 5X5, so far. Body stuff now. How are you doin, making progress?

You can install them when you want.

Animation mods that have an ESP I still tend to leave later.  Animations gone wonky can cause a lot of problems. I consider them "complex" mods. So time-wise, leave those a bit later. Get a good solid working game under your belt before moving on to the complicated stuff..  If there are problems, there is less to roll back.

 

I'm watching TV right now.

[BDNelson]

Races: Do you think I should install my race overhauls (Atherious), before RaceMenu or after? There are no "needs" (requirements) between the 2, one complimenting the other, maybe? No conflicts either. I just answered my own question, nevermind. Ok, I'll check back in a bit.

Sorry - I don't know the answer to that one. I think you'll have to see how it goes. I've never used race mods.

That's alright, I figured it out. Hey, I just saw some really cool footage of the flying drone on Mars, Google page as I got on line. Have you seen that?

[Bluegunk]

Yes, I caught some of those videos. Amazing to think we can fly a drone on another planet!

[BDNelson]

You are probably going to bed soon, so I'll say good night now. I'll keep updating as necc., talk tomorrow, ok?

[Bluegunk]

Yep - I'm off shortly. Catch up tomorrow!

[BDNelson]

[BDNelson]

Wow, ummm... ok. I just got off of the Nexus mods site. I have been invited to be a tester for Nexus, I don't know what to do. I haven't even gotten my game modded yet.

[BDNelson]

Just looked at that LakeView Manor upgrade, nice! In order to use it fully though, I need to install 3DNPC, that's what I saw. Looked at 3DNPC, oh my god, all the esp's. I think you have this installed, right? Can you fill me in a little here before I commit?

[BDNelson]

Blaze says GOOD mornin!

[BDNelson]

DAMN, that's nice! I'm feeling pretty proud right now, I think she looks better than the ones before. I got the freckles just right.

Morning. Blaze looks awesome again! Have you changed her face, slightly? Welcome back, Blaze!

 Are you meaning the Avant Garden Lakeview that's in my screenshots?  That's an independent mod and does not need 3DNPC.  It's one of my all-time favourites and is why I always start at Lakeview.  (There are versions of it for the other two Hearthfire Homes).  The guards in it are really ugly vanilla models  and basic. They don't even notice if a wolf eats one of them. But it's nice to have walls around the player home. Elks like to spawn inside the compound and run around which is a bit of a pain.

Is that the blue invite flash across the top? I ignore it.

 

3DNPCs - or Interesting NPCs.  It's a big mod that has extra NPCs and Quests.  I've used it for years and it's been as good as gold in my game.  I use an Overhaul on its NPCs. It has one ESM and one ESPFE, plus a choice of patches either here on in other mods. The patches I have are in ESPFE.

I've followed a couple of quests. Zora Fairchild (Brittleshin Pass) is an interesting follower and I have a special makeover for her a modder created for me as the original is 'old' by modern standards. You don't have to pick up or do any of the quests or followers. They're so integrated in the game you would have thought it was original content.  Some of the conversations with the lesser NPCs ramble on a bit, go nowhere, and I back out of them when I get bored. There does not seem to be any FPS impact from the mod.

No, I picked the same face preset, #8, I think it's the hair. She looks slightly different to me as well. It's the hair, it is different.

 

Yes, the Avant Garden, I LIKE IT! I got it downloaded! I'm downloading 3DNPC right now.

 

Ignor the blue bar, got it! They do that a lot?

 

Update: NPC's next, downloaded and installed ZMD nails, those will be on the next version of Blaze. Got some more different preset ladies, gonna make Nikkita. We'll see how she turns out!

[BDNelson]

If I ever would have had a daughter, that is what I would have named her. Nikkita. I know what it is! I got that make-up mod, Female Makeup Suite.

Probably both the hair & the makeup.

[BDNelson]

So... I didn't even get the clue you gave me that you are in the game and on the move, yes? Setting your MCM up.

It's a first, so far as I know. But I've been with Nexus since...2011?  It's a UK outfit that grew out of an unfunded hobby/gaming forum, and became the corporate we all know now, based in Exeter UK.

 

There are a lot of people that slag them off. Sometimes the anger is understandable, but a lot is ridiculous, overblown and out-of-order.  I remember those early days and can see how they've grown to become what they are.  They hired a guy to promote stuff, so he's the one who does the prizes, the rollouts and industry linkups - and that blue bar.  Tannin, who was the modder that created Mod Organizer was brought aboard to create an update to NMM, and created Vortex. They are not actually a big outfit.
