I ran into another issue. After updating from v1.7 the grummites are invisible. I haven't tested with other creatures yet, so I don't know the extent of the issue.

I can't find anything wrong with the download. Are all of them invisible?

Yes, and they became visible again when I went back to the older version.

Hmm... That's weird. I'm going to look one more time.

Minotaur progress:

 

Going better than expected. I found a beautiful model with CC license (which I now struggle to find the original creator of). Way too big for Skyrim with over one million vertices. But after some edits I brought it down to 25 000 without too much errors. I'll reduce it even further and aim for 10 -18 000 vertices fully armored.

 

There's still plenty of work to do. No textures exist. Everything must be made from scratch but it's actually kind of fun. And for the look of the model: It's pretty bad ass if you ask me. It got that human male body I'm looking for and that evil and brutal face look. I need to create a new set of horns since the ones that came with the model was a bit antelope like. Besides the model uses human feet, and I want hooves!

Finally we'll get the legendary minotaur, and looks good too. Tell me if you need any help with the horns, hooves, or anything else in blender. I know the program quite well.

Here's a little tip. Go to https://sketchfab.com/search?q=horn&type=models and download a horn model. Then you can use mirror modifier to create a mirrored duplicate. But first tick downloadable and under licences select everything but standard and editorial to get the free models. Same with the hooves.

Don't worry about it. I noticed I had forgotten to remove the 1.74 patch, because it wasn't named "Demonic Creatues" and didn't show up in my search.

Good idea and some hair on his tail too.

Thanks for offering help 😀

 

I'm a user at all known 3d model  sharing sites already. It's a fantastic cause we so much time on this. Specially if it comes with textures. That's what takes most time for me.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you make me both proud and ashamed for shooting hummingbirds....

 

That is all.  😃☹️

Pretty cool mod. Been having an issue tho. None of the "AkRace" (for example, the dwarvern ripper spriggan-like enemy) seem to be able to activate animations. Already re-started creature framework and started a new game to test, but nothing i did seem to be able to make them work

Use website translation, After installation, there is a large area of water of different colors, Check the list of individual mods to find out why, until the water surface is the same color after banning the demon creatures.

I think this is a left-over from being developed originally on LE.  The worldspace water records are different from other SE developed mods.

 

Quick fix - but might not catch everything, run a bashed patch.  Generally it will catch a lot of these and bias towards where it should be. 

Better fix - SSE edit and go through the worldspace entries, and patch them or edit in the ESP itself.

 

Spoiler

 

If you have one of those entries as the last record, you will have the patchwork look you're seeing.  In SSE edit, you can just click and drag the correct value from the mod next to DemonicCreatures.esp.  In this case, drag and drop "RiverWaterFlow" onto "CreekWaterFlowSW".  It will take some time to go through the worldspace records (far left), and look for where it is inconsistent.  But it'll look right when all done.

 

In my case above, I have several other mods that are overwriting the discrepancy, so I haven't had to adjust in most/any cases. 

 

Hope that helps, and good luck.

Big thanks! FIX!!!!!!!! i love you, Bigglsby

I love this mod, can someone recommend textures to improve the vanilla ones?

The front mod page has a drop-down list with recommended textures for many vanilla creatures.  If you continue to look beyond that list, be sure that what you install is limited to textures, and not mesh/skeleton changes (which will likely cause you issues).

[31971207]

Just something I noticed playing with the creatures in my setup:

 

Ogrimlord from 4thUnknown is floating a bit above ground. His penis placement is a bit too high where the stomach is. It looks OK in nifskope though. Perhaps the giant skeleton sags the mesh down when placing the actor in game and the penis stays at the same height. Since its feet doesn't touch the ground perhaps making the Ogrimlord a bit bigger? 

 

Ogre from vilruska_ogr penis has the same height problem as 4thUnknown's Ogrimlord but his feet are firmly on the ground so I don't know what to suggest.

 

Nekker from Gendundrup penis does not appear to move with the body. Nekker moves up and down in standing idle but penis is fixed in the same height not moving with the body.

 

 

So happy to see drowners in Skyrim properly "equipped".

Not sure what you mean? the ogre is a giant, but smaller in size so no animations fit 100%. Maybe a picture here as well would help describe the cause.'

Sounds like the floating dick issue caused by the wrong skeleton installed. Perhaps you had some mod overwrite the skeleton from the ABC mod?

I tried out the lurker first. I did not like it. I was about to rig it as a giant before posing it into a werewolf afterwards. Then parts of my hardware crashed again. So now I am awaiting new parts and a fresh install of everything 😤. God I am so tired of starting over now.

Ogrim Lord only floats by a tiny bit and the gap is barely noticeable only when I tested it on a flat white surface. As for the penis placement being too high on Ogrm Lord and Ogre it's purely subjective so if everyone is happy with it then I am OK.

 

I see XPMS has a newer version with ABC update so I'll give that a try. Strange, I only see the freezing penis issue with Nekker and none of the other werewolf species.

random thought: you could have *two* variants of the Minotaur (depending on how much effort it'd take). A lesser minotaur who are more bestial and use the troll skeleton as you suggested. And then the greater "true" minotaur which uses weapons, and uses giants skeleton.

Or something i dunno lol

Won't break. Minor Ai aggression conflicts perhaps. But do use wrye bashed patches.

This was my exact plan. Rigging it as a giant first and then use that rig to get my werewolf mino afterwards.

[chrismis8843]
