Trykz Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 quite curious' date=' what did u do to sort it out for custom races? i'm not the "MEMO reader" type so quite lazy to go thru last few pages [/quote'] Pretty simple really: For each race I've done so far, I loaded in the original raw files, deleted the vampire race variant, and re-scripted the race in RaceCompatibility to remove all traces of the vampire variant. I then saved each mod, and repackaged it into a BSA, saving the original ESP in a separate folder. Then I removed the raw files and scripts, and reloaded the BSA into the CK with the duplicated ESP. I opened the race form and added the vampire keyword, and saved the mod again. Now I have 1 BSA and 2 ESPs. The BSA archive with the parts, and a normal and vampire ESP. So essentially, if you decide you want to play as a vampire at any time after creating your character, you can simply swap out normal ESP for the vampire ESP, install Better Vampires, and you're all set to play as a vampire. No sunken cheeks, no lightened skin, no red eyes Should you decide again later to no longer be a vampire, simply reset Better Vampires and swap the ESP back out for the normal non-vampire ESP. It isn't my preferred method, but it works

It isn't my preferred method, but it works u see femaleheadchargen contains vampire morph and other morphs in it, i'm not against vampires but i dont like sunken cheeks so it requires to edit tri file which i was asking in forums but none give's a shit to help so considering to do same. 5 threads asking for a simple question and none gave good answer, one was led to offtopic, one didnt come to conclusion and rest of them were ignored.

That box should be unchecked for normal races, and checked for their vampire variants. If you uncheck that box on a vampire variant race form, the physical change doesn't occur. Meaning your character doesn't change appearance in any way. The overlay checkbox is what tells the game to use the headparts in the list on the vampire race form on your character when you turn into a vampire, instead of the headparts on the regular race form. Which is why it's unchecked on the normal race form, and checked on the vampire race form. If you look on the right side of the race form on the General tab, the vampire race has the keyword "Vampire", and the normal race doesn't. And therein lies the problem for custom races. For some reason, the game seems incapable of seeing that keyword on a custom race vampire. Eventually, a solution will present itself that works more fluidly. But for now, the method I outlined in my previous post works pretty well.

Masterpandabear Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I think there is a bug that does not let you load Dawnguard with the CK >.
jaymac8181 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 im kinda curious. why do you have the title of the topic as "release moderator: please delete system wont let me do it"? im not sure if someone already asked this in this topic.
Trykz Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 im kinda curious. why do you have the title of the topic as "release moderator: please delete system wont let me do it"? im not sure if someone already asked this in this topic. I created the thread quite a while ago. After I rebuilt all my race mods for Dawnguard' date=' the pics and DL links were all outdated. When I tried to delete the thread, the forum wouldn't let me. I think it has something to do with the age of the thread, and the forum settings blocking user deleting after a specific amount of time. It also seems to block changing the thread type. Hence, the [REL'].
Ark of Truth Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 If the thread is extremely old or has over a certain amount of posts it can't be deleted without a mod doing it. It's to stop important information being lost which can help others if I call correctly.
ElwoodCityDestroyer Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 i downloaded the non-dawnguard snowelf mod but now it wont work now that i have dawnguard, i cant find the link to download the dawnguard version of your great mod.
Daelda Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Can someone direct me to the updated Dawnguard versions of your wonderful Race-Mods? After a computer meltdown and replacement computer (under warranty, luckily), I have finally re-installed Skyrim and am ready to begin again with my adventures...but can't think of doing so without my MoonElf. :-) Nevermind - I think I have located them at http://www.loverslab.com/showthread.php?tid=10635&highlight=Dawnguard
chinpoppo Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Update / re-upalod preview pictures, and use normal file hosting like fastpic.ru or register own wordpress ID. it's quit boring thing with this site, when almost 60% of all topics, have dead preview.
