Relinking Tamago/Hiyoko PK AIO plugins to CHILDREN ANNUAD ?

[ljacquard]

Basically, I can't stand the MBP/X117 combo. I am rather tolerant towards Anime, but to me, it's amateur work at best : terrible packaging, obscure install instructions, redundancies of resources everywhere, quality inconsistencies, bugs. Pick your poison.

 

This being said, I have recently discovered Triratna's fine work on the Children annuad. I was a bit dubious at first, but trying it once is adopting it. It's being regularly updated, kept bug-free, and cherry on top of the cake, comes directly as a pyFFI-ed resource. Tiny lil' nitpick, it needs to be tes4EDIT cleaned.

 

Now I have little to no knowledge in TES4-modding, especially with the toolset. I consider myself reasonably proficient with Bash, TES4Edit and other equivalent tools however, and have modded other games before.

 

What I'd like to achieve is to relink all the Tamago/Hiyoko plugins of the PK AIO package to the "CHILDREN ANNUAD.esp", and its 4 races.

 

The advantage for me would be obvious : I could keep the best of both mods, and remove the extraneous MBP/x117 bloat that I no longer need, nor want.

 

Could someone give me some pointers on how to proceed with that ?

Alright, I just had a quick look at the Tamago/Hiyoko plugins, and it seems the only one directly linked to MNP/x117 seems to be "HiyokoGenerator.esp".

 

I think I will have to figure out how to switch these base NPC templates :

 0300F7C5 a3hgArgonF01
 0300F7C6 a3hgArgonM01

 030172B1 sgUnkuTabNoraTarou00
 030172B2 sgUnkuWTKuroNeko00
 030172A6 sgUnkuYMDekisugiKun00

 

towards new race templates :

 

RACE
 01001CAF 1Bastard
 01008C0A 1ELF
 010015DB 1Kunne
 01000ED3 1Orphan

 

I am assuming that "HiyokoGenetics.esp" will give me the valid combinations between races.

 

Am I correct ? If yes, is there an easy/fail-proof way to do this ? Is it even possible without delving too deep into the code ? I wouldn't want to spend hours over this.
