"I kind of miss human skin" message (identifying popups/monologue)

[alternateaccounts]

One of the mods I'm running is adding this "I kind of miss human skin" message that pops up top left constantly.
Does anyone know which mod this is or how I can find out which mod this is?

Made this xEdit script a while back. Horribly slow, but a thousand times faster than searching by hand.

{
  Find message
}
unit UserScript;

function Initialize: integer;
var
  i: integer;
  j: integer;
  f: IInterface;
  e: IInterface;
  sig: string;
begin
  // iterate over loaded plugins
  for i := 0 to Pred(FileCount) do begin
    f := FileByIndex(i);
    
    for j := 0 to Pred(RecordCount(f)) do begin
        e := RecordByIndex(f, j);
        sig := Signature(e);
        if sig <> 'MESG' then
            Continue;
        
        Search(e)
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure Search(e: IInterface);
var
    m: string;
begin
    m := GetElementNativeValues(e, 'DESC');
    
    if pos('I kind of miss human skin', m) > 0 then
        AddMessage(IntToHex(GetLoadOrderFormID(e), 8));
end;

end.

Thanks, where/how do I run this?

1. xEdit
2. Load your entire loadorder as-is.
3. Right click any mod.
4. Apply script.

Thanks, where does it output though?
I ran the script and it looks like it completed but I got no output in the message window apart from:

[00:00] Start: Applying script "find text"
[00:34] Done: Applying script "find text", Elapsed Time: 00:34

In that case it found nothing. It would dump the formids between those 2 lines. Either the text you provided ('I kind of miss human skin') is not 100% correct (capitalization, number of whitespaces used etc.) or the message comes from a call to Debug.Notification.

 

To find messages created from a script you'll need script sources (*.psc files). If you already have those for all/most of your mods, you can use something like Notepad++ to quickly search through all your mods for that same line: 'I kind of miss human skin'

 

If you're unsure of the exact string to search for, you can obviously also try a part of it like 'human skin'. The string to search for in the xEdit script is near the end of the script.

Yeah I did shorten the search term but still no hits. Thanks for the tip about Notepad++ never knew it had that function.

Did you find the mod that was doing this? Cause I am suddenly getting the message too and finding it annoying.

[traison]

You may be able to search for strings in compiled scripts as well. Simply run Notepad++ over all your pex files.

It's from SL Simple Dialog. You can turn it off in the MCM (there should be a "message display" setting or something like that.

You're a lifesaver, thank you.
