Help with YgNord Race and UNP

[hale-o]

So I have ECE and my character is of the YgNord race. The problem I am having is that I know I need to manually install some files from UNP into the YgNord files, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have googled it quite a bit and don't know what to do. I tried copy and pasting the UNP meshes to the ones in the YgNord mesh/texture files but then game crashed.

 

ECE (About half way down it mentions changing the body type for YgNord):

Additional Race YgNord

Note:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This race uses different (and independent) folders in both textures and meshes.
You need to put manually the files you want from various body/face mod. Look below: two folders for YgNord.

Please help a friendly noob

Did you install XPMS Extended and copy the male and female skeletons to the YgNord Meshes folder?  The skeleton that is included with YgNord is rather old.

Thanks for replying!

No, I did not. I do have XPMS installed through NMM, but not with YgNord. I think I am more confused by exactly how I am supposed to copy anything to the YgNord meshes folder, so it isn't that it isn't working, it is just that I can't figure out how to do it in the first place.

 

When you say copy to the meshes folder, what exactly do you mean? Will it potentially overwrite something? Previously I had manually downloaded UNP files and then copied the meshes/textures files and copy and pasted into the ones for YgNord, it asked me it should overwrite what was already there and I said yes. The game then wouldn't open.

If you already copied the UNP meshes to the YgNord Meshes folder and overwrote the original YgNord body files...

If you already copied the UNP textures to the YgNord <female> Textures folder and overwrote the original YgNord <female> textures...

then you need to update the old YgNord skeletons (male and female) with the latest XPMS Extended skeletons.

 

After installing XPMSE go copy the male and female skeletons from these folders:

Meshes\Actors\Character\Character Assets (skeleton.nif)

Meshes\Actors\Character\Character Assets Female (skeleton_female.nif)

 

Paste both XPMSE skeletons in the YgNord Meshes folder and overwrite the YgNord skeletons of the same names.  You have now updated the old YgNord skeletons to the new XPMSE skeletons.

 

 

What do you mean the game will not open?  Not start at all?  Crash when loading a save and/or start a new game?  Crash before the game menu appears (after the Skyrim logo)?
