Yiffy Age of Skyrim

[Taven]

Hmm...could I ask for a patch on the current alpha version for Khajiit Overhaul? Or can I use it by not letting the alpha version overwrite anything the Khajiit Overhaul has?

You can use it by not letting it overwrite. Just be mindful that the alpha has textures outside of the races folder that will affect the actual look of the khajiit texture. I dont remember if it is was furfemalebody.dds/furmalebody or fuzzy .dds, I posted about it a few pages ago. If your not comfortable with directly poking the mods after preventing the overwrite then wait a few days and ill be able to figure it out, as i'm in the process of performing a full reinstall of my mods along with Skyrim.

Okay so after a 100% clean re-install of the game and mods it runs like butter however i am still getting the broken tails, I have noticed Feline skeletons or tails work 100% jumping crouching moving with no issue its the K-9's that seem to not work.

Below are some screen shots of what its doing any idea's?

Spoiler

I also had invisible face? issue with this NPC haven't encountered it again and i am at White Run.

Also here are the mods i have set up.



EDIT: Fixed the screen shots so they aren't 40mb a pop lol!!!

I've noticed that the Lykaios tails sometimes freeze up and stop moving, and it's more likely to happen when equipping or unequipping items or being spawned/loaded into memory. Maybe that's your issue?

 

I kinda found a way around it on my end by manually force-equipping and then unequipping a tail hider item on the affected NPCs with console commands; seems like unloading and then reloading the tail mesh forces it to reset the physics and de-freeezes it, so it solves the issue until it becomes stuck again (and then rinse and repeat).

IIRC Bad Dog said it should be fixed with the latest Alpha file (5.02, I think?). Have you tried downloading it and seeing if that fixes it?

Uhh, if that's true then I'm gonna chime in and say there are definitely still headless people running around in 5.02. I figured he meant he had it fixed on his end and I assumed he was gonna fix up most of the glaring stuff in one go and upload an update then instead of repackaging and reuploading constantly as we're still seeing reports of new issues come in.

 

I haven't had any issues with the tails so far EXCEPT that in the open world when NPCs get loaded in as you're walking around, their tail is stretched out a mile into the distance, and gradually returns to where it should be. It's only mildly annoying and basically resolves itself within several seconds so it's not a big issue, but it happens pretty consistently.

Try moving XPMSE down farther. SOS came packed with a very old skeleton so it may be overwriting it.

You may be right, I was speaking from memory and I wasn't completely sure about it. Only Bad Dog can tell for sure, though.

Yeah, that's pretty common, and it happens with other HDT stuff as well.

 

AFAIK it happens because objects are actually created in the (0,0,0) point of the current cell and then moved to wherever they are meant to be; this is supposed to be instantaneous so you never realize, but if there's some hiccup that causes HDT to start calculating while at that point, it registers the bones as jumping from the origin to whatever point the NPC is actually at, and depending on the physics data and distance to that end point, crazy stuff can happen. 

 

FYI, this engine limitation is also the reason for the "Giant Camp Bug" in SL: the marker for the scene spawns at the (0,0,0) point of the Skyrim worldspace (which happens to be right above that giant camp) but isn't properly moved to the place it's supposed to be, so when SL warps the player to the marker to start the scene, they end up in the origin point of the worlspace and usually fall to their death, lol. 

[Bad Dog]

I missed some stuff upthread. Yeah, this is supposed to be near final. Lykaios tails are not white, panthers are not plastic, heads are in place. Those disconnected tails look like a skeleton problem--make sure nothing overwrites the one in the YAdigi kit (which it shouldn't, they're on their own filepath).

 

Imma post an update in a minute, which will be A5.3. This the ONLY problems I know of in this next are: some wonkiness with manikin body weight; some ear textures on a few load screens; the out-of-date skeleton; black eyes on some NPCs but I don't know which. I'll post a photoshoot too, maybe, so you can see what I'm seeing and let me know if you're getting something very different. 

[Warvelton]

Okay so I tried to move XPMSE down farther and it doesn't seem to do any thing.

and the tails have physics to them they move sway and so on they just don't seem to attach to the actor? I am currently running 5.02.

Now would me using Oldrim be an issue?

[Bad Dog]

A5.3 is up.

 

Check out any issues you've seen against it. With the exception of the list above, I think I covered everything. Please report the version number if you find problems so we don't have to ask.

 

For the tails... completely dunno. Did you try the no-HDT tail fix? See what that does. Try taking things out of the load order.

Welp tails are fixed.

Time to rigorously not do lewd things and play the game.

Not sure what the cause is, but since I've gotten a few crashes starting a new save using Skyrim Unbound. After the 3rd try managed to get started. Not sure why things feel slightly laggy after trimming my modlist down and redoing the patches. Probably an issue with my computer.

if you're using the A5 version i don't think the patches will work with it?

Baddog said he would have to update it.

[Taven]

A few things I'd like to ask.. Do we not need this mod anymore? Because I've noticed that this alpha version has new textures(And most likely meshes) for hagravens in it..and, I've yet to use this mod because, I'm wondering if it's alright to overwrite almost everything in the past version of YA with it, as I've also installed that manually.

[Bad Dog]

Not sure what you're asking. This is the new version, it's an alpha so it might still break things. When it's final it will be okay to overwrite everything. It's got a new raven model for the hagravens.

 

NEW PHOTOSHOOT UP!

 

This is a near-vanilla setup--the standard high-res texture packs and USLEEP but no other graphics mods and no ENB.

 

Showing off some of the different NPCs. I love it when the furrifier picks exactly the right look for an NPC. Stenvar and Brunwulf both look more like themselves than I would have been able to do by hand. The panther is my PC. I hardly ever play dark elves but I'm enjoying running around with him.

 

I'm still finding things to tweak and adjust, but it's all minor stuff at this point.

This is a badly written HDT issue, not a YAS issue.

Massive improvements on the expression/morphs front.

I meant Skyproc patches. And for the A5 version I haven't noticed much issue with the USLEEP Yiffy Age patch, but I may be wrong. Yiffy Age and all its files are on the bottom of the load order. Think I have the graphic options up too high for first starting out then things smooth out after it loads up.

[Warvelton]

Welp after a good 5 hours in the game with basic quality of life mods the game works fantastic.

The tails do freak out here and there but not enough to really break immersion for me I ran in to a hard freeze/crash in Winterhold and Whiterun how ever i believe those are more my fault then this mods fault.

Absolutely killer job Bad Dog.

Okay, that definitely looks great, and nothing like what I've seen on my end. Guess I'll have to check out actual NPCs instead of sticking to chargen only.

 

Still, the point about shiny panthers still stands after looking at those pics; chances are the specular is just about right for a vanilla shader setup but if you use ENB it gets cranked up too much and that's when it starts looking like plastic.

 

Anyway, I'll give the latest version a try while making sure no other mods are conflicting with it and see how it goes.

[Voldearag]

Brunwulf Freewinter is an adorable puppo, players can choose all the awesome dog patterns too right?  I notice Falleen's belt is a little low for her girldick though.

[Bad Dog]

Should have mentioned that photoshoot was pretty much vanilla skyrim. Just had the standard high-res texture packs and USLEEP but no other graphics mods and no ENB. I played a bunch with that panther texture and this is the best tradeoff I could make for different lighting situations. 

 

I'll probably make normal tails the standard and HDT the patch for the final release. General principles--the base mod should be simplest and easiest--and it will simplify porting to SE. 

 

All the patterns are available to the player but I ran out of slots so check the "dirt" slots for extra patterns. (I think there's a way to add more sliders in Racemenu but didn't want to get into that.)

 

Questions!

 

Creating an archive from CK didn't include the facegen files. They should be included, right? Is this a known thing?

 

The extended skeleton has a whole separate set of tail bones, which gives you 2-3 times more bones to play with. I did what I could to smooth out the HDT tails by fixing weights, but with only 4-5 bones to play with there's just a limit to what can be done. If I rigged the tails to the HDT bones would it all just work? Or would I have to rewrite the XML somehow?

[Nerran]

Hello, I'm using the CBBE patch and Imperious patch for my current Alpha v4.xx... Should I wait the patches for V5 or would the v4 patches work with the v5 main mod?

[TheLastKhajiit]

I'm having some trouble with invisible NPCs. I'm on version 5.3

Anybody got a handle on this? I've seen it once or twice. Someone suggested upthread it is a known HDT quirk? Any way to reduce it?
