Being a Cow (Alternate Version)

Original 1.9F2 SE was packed with LE BSA.  Redownload, the current version is in loose form, no BSA. Do not let other mods overwrite it.  You can fix it yourself using CAO to extract the BSA if it happens again.

Also,  make sure original BAC files are removed, those will conflict.

 

 

I'm not sure I understand. Is the newest version the "bac_alternate_1.9F_SE_loose_files" or is 1.9F2? There's no esp or bsa in the loose files version. Also, what is CAO? I'm sorry if this is a lot questions, it's seeming a little complicated.

Download bac_alternate_1.9F2_SE.7z again and replace the old one. It should work then, unless your issue is something else.  Remember that is a work in progress, mainly developed for Skyrim LE.

 

CAO is Cathedral Assets Optimizer, the tool used to facilitate the conversion of assets to be SE compatible.  Version 5.x only works on meshes, textures, animation (no behavior files), and BSA extraction or creation.  Version 6 is buggy, but it can do the same as 5 and also behavior files.  If you do not know any of this, be careful if you use it, better learn about it first in the corresponding forums.

For me LE did work much better but the tail glitched out and crashed me, at first it stretched across the screen .. then crash, went back to an earlier save then happened again. I'll keep my eye on this though. Nice what I was able to see of it.

Has anyone else been having crashes with the 1.9f1/2? I've been crashing trying to load in. I can boot up skyrim fine, but whenever I try to load a save or start a new game, it crashes on load. I'm using SE (not AE) too. The 1.9D version works fine oddly enough.

I suspect those crashes being caused by a change I made to the Hammerheart main scene which seems to be handled differently in SE as opposed to LE. I'm working on splitting that quest up in a ways to make it stable and not needing to be restarted all over each time you want someting from Paul. This will take some time though, so please be patient and revert to the prior version if necessary.

There's an option in one of the BAC MCMs where you can set the Alpha / transparency of all stretch marks. Set it to 0, and they're invisible.

You can't just delete a file, of course that would lead to undesired behaviour. Replace it with a blank one instead. There are probably some in your installation folder already. Otherwise it's not exactly rocket science to create one yourself. The graphic program GiMP comes with support for dds files out of the box.

A problem I’ve been consistently having is anytime my transformations start my game CTD’s immediately, I’m not sure what to do.

Since Hammerheart is currently under construction and not releasable yet, I put @Addywil's new bell collar up here. This is the LE version, though. Just let it overwrite any existing files.

keep getting Grazing - Abort or what ever on the top left.

My LE version, just kept crashing .. could be something I am doing wrong, not sure. SE version I got to work finally but the body/boobs does not grow or work. I'll prob at least check out the mod more fully on SE version and just deal with having small boobs that do not grow properly.

again, growth is done by SLIF, so you need that to work properly.

That message can only be forced by manipulating the script of the bac_cowgrazing quest or using setstage on it. It's deprecated code not reached normally. Initially I tried to make the grazing trip via a scene but that kept bailing out on obstacles instead of continuing with the next plant. The stages for that scene are still there but no longer called. Only when they are called, as a failsafe an update is perfomred after 3 minutes and if that's reached while still searching for the next plant, you get that message - only that code is not active.

I didn't edit anything. I just installed the mod and BAC set up and then it keeps saying Grazing - Abort over and over

I have that installed, mostly likely my settings for it are wrong. I use 3ba and did install SLIF. I'm sure it's in the settings. I didn't mean to make you repeat or anything, I did browse through this thread for clues on how to set it up.

@botticelli do you think you could move Mandy's house or create a patch for Blackthorn? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2242

Possible bug with the transofrmation speed selection.  Put a new game on slow and was still transforming every time 1 milk cycle

Spoiler

So when this OnLocationChange procedure starts-ends game freezes for a sec like a fps drop. Idk what's the problem. Can anyone help? Combat is impossible with this.

If you start the cow after some time as milkmaid, the calculation does not take into account that you didn't start at 0 milk units. This is already fixed in the next version. Until then, you'll get cow levels for all the milk you've milked before becoming a cow.

Well technically that mod came out after BAC and thus would need to move its location. The problem is that for almost any spot on the map you'll find a conflicting mod, so if I move the house (not sure where, though, because I'm not going to install every mod around to see any blank spots), the next person will probably show up with the next mod.

That procedure only checks for cows in the current cell needing update. So you should also experience this freeze when doing an update from MCM manually. If not, the problem is something else, possibly a mod not so talkative about what it's doing.

Ok, cannot reproduce this here on LE, new character starts just fine. There is nothing in there that would register the script for update (OnUpdate event causes that message). However as a workaround, do sqv bac_cowgrazing in the console, If that states that the quest is running, so setstage bac_cowgrazing 100, that should stop it.

what version are you on? Because the problem seems to be:

[06/07/2022 - 06:07:33PM] Error: Static function FileExists not found on object MiscUtil. Aborting call and returning None

MiscUtil.pex comes with PapyrusUtil (SE version) and BAC depends on that functioning correctly. It is listed as a requirement on the file page...
