I'm trying to get the Npc Replacers for AR to work after the .53 update, but so far without success. Could anyone give me some advice please, I have no experience with skypatcher. I pressume the latest skypatcher version of NPC Relaceres that is available shold work with the latest .54 AR update? But even after installing both mods and the skypatcher mod, the character visuals are still broken.

 

Technically any skypatch approach to altering an npc should work as long as the npc's form id never changes between versions. 

 

I have not looked at the NPC Replacer shypatch version for AR though. I note the biggest issue with the npc replacers though is the author sometimes leave out some resources they should had included in the archives.

I know how to resolve them but i want to get your take on if i should?

 

Script errors:

Are these of any concern? not knowing enough about the function these scripts are calling, im not sure if i should attempt to resolve them or not. they all seems to be involved with "Serana Scene Trigger", so i'm concerned this may not work as intended.

If you used “movetoqt VAR_Netch,” don't be surprised if it doesn't work properly. You should enter the mine and walk the entire route without any teleportation. Otherwise, use “setstage.” You'll find everything here:

It actually sounds pretty good. It practically begs for an alternate version where “Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes” is changed to “Tirwin” :3

I'm not sure what you mean?  What role would Tirwin play in that song?  Is she the Dragonborn or does she teach the Dragonborn how to "cum"?  What of her animals?  Sadly I have no creativity to write lyrics and the AI I'm using won't generate raunchy lyrics.  So if I wanted to try this, someone else would have to write it =(

Maybe something like this?  I won't be able to match the original music of The Dragonborn Comes though and it will generate new music.  Well, not unless I try and sing it myself...

 

The Elven Girl Comes

 

Oh hero, oh hero, though she’d rather depart,
I tell you, I tell you, that elven girl cums.

 

With a fawn at her side, and a fox 'twixt her legs,
Believe it or not… yes, Tirwin she cums.

 

Not with thunder or triumph or glorious prose,
But leaps, awkward bows—and a squirrel on her toes.

 

And the whispers grow loud as the critters all pose,
You’ll know, oh you’ll know… when Tirwin she cums.

Does sound good... 

 

I'm almost tempted to put it into a bard's playlist, I've a small mod with bard and a few npcs in it I made for Moorside Inn, Have to still write a script to toggle enable them but for now I just turn the mod on after he's dead, She replaces Lumbuk after he's dead and of course the few npcs are for an audience, so it kind of feels like people show up at the inn after he's gone and replaced with a decent bard.

The style doesn't suit Skyrim's bards and their alcapella.  So it might be unimmersive.  But I have the Dwemer Jukebox mod that lets me play custom music on demand so I'm going to put it in there.  I wish the music wasn't all randomized though and I could control it like a traditional media player.

Which is why I said almost, it's a bit too modern in instrumentation.

It would be hilarious if we find out that the person who put a hit out on Lubruk was Tirwin for singing this awful song about her lol.

Have you ever eavesdropped in on Jonna and Lurbuk's conversation?

 

Spoiler

From base game:

Lurbuk: "Jonna, do you think the townspeople are warming to my serenades?"
Jonna: "No. They ain't. And they aren't gonna. If you weren't payin' for your room, I'd have thrown you out a long time ago."
Lurbuk: "Yes, but they'll come around eventually. You'll see."
Jonna: "Oh, I shouldn't be surprised if they come 'round. And if you're never seen or heard from agin [sic]."
Lurbuk: "I'm thinking of composing a song about you, Jonna. Would you prefer that I proclaim your beauty, your strength, your..."
Jonna: "Nah. Just... don't. Leave me outta it."
Lurbuk: "No interest in being immortalized in song? Remembered and praised for all eternity?"
Jonna: "No. I mean it."
Lurbuk: "When I'm known throughout Tamriel, you'll regret this decision."

 

New, as the conversation continues:

Jonna: "Regret? To Oblivion with that! You just go find some other poor las to sing about!"
Lurbuk: "I suppose, I have heard about an elven maiden, they say her beauty and wild exploits are in tune with nature."

Jonna: "That may be, but she'd be none too happy hearing about it coming  from you."

Lurbuk: "We'll see, and I bet you'll be jealous."

Jonna: <eyes rolls>

Lol I imagine Lubruk has no idea the connotations of what cumming means and thought he was just singing an innocent song, much to Tirwin's increasing frustration and distress when she tells him to stop.

I'm not familiar with other replacers, but it would be a good idea to report this to the author of Hi Poly Tirwin Replacer, along with a screenshot illustrating your issue.

Whenever I try to fuck Ragnar, it sends me through two load screens and deposits me somewhere else on the map?

Huh? We need more details on “where” it's kicking you out? A video of it might be helpful.

You should elaborate as to when. So, I'm just assuming you're  speaking about the quest "A Girl's Best Friend."

 

It's been a long while, many versions back, but as I recall the quest was really designed to take place outside Whiterun.

 

I do know the first play thru I went to Ri'saad at the camp outside Markarth talk to him again after picking up Ragnar from the stable in Whiterun.  I did that we ended up in Whiterun after the book was read and the dialog said for the scene was to start, I think the sexlab marker may get placed there in Whiterun?

 

After that quest finishes Tirwin can have sex with Ragnar in non-public places, and the player can have sex with Ragnar just about anywhere if they ask Ragnar directly.
