Backporting SSE armor replacer mod into Oldrim help.

[iwanttodietwice]

Hey all,

been a lurker for years, I want to backport this armor replacer mod from SSE to Oldrim but not quite sure how since it also has bodyslide feature. If I just installed it like any other mod, it doesn't crash my game but will only show massive red triangles instead. 

 

At the moment I've installed some separate mods to replicate the SSE mod but not all armors get replaced, only the forsworn and the bandit fur armor, while the SSE mod covers multiple armors.

I have asked the mod author if he can do a backport but I don't know if they'll do it or if they're that active in the modding scene, the last time they were active was in the 7th of may.

 

I went back to Oldrim because my potato laptop can no longer run it without crashing every minute, maybe I messed up somewhere. Oldrim also runs better too on my laptop.

Honestly I would stick with SSE/AE if you want to run an SE mod, you will save yourself alot of headaches. But if you want to give it a try you could use this tool with the TES5 profile to convert the meshes from SSE format (BSTriShape) back to LE format (NiTriShape)  Cathedral Assets Optimizer at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community I have no idea if you can just resave the esp in the proper contruction kit to get that part working, i have seen people claim you can. Textures may also need some conversion dependig on their format as BC7 prob not work in LE. You can also look thru these guides but I have not tried it SE to LE content guide at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community Backport Any Skyrim SE Mod to LE with Included Scripts at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community

 

Good Luck!

Thank you! If this doesn't work or causes me a massive headache, I might just try and recreate the edits in outfit studio, I just now learned how to remove and separate bits of meshes in outfit studio.
