Save Game Files

*Trykz* · July 10, 2012

Yep, you read it right.

I'm requesting your save game files for use in my race mods. And here's why:

when building a custom race, it's always best to use brand new presets to really display what is possible to achieve with the mod. Now doing this isn't really a hard process, but it is VERY time consuming. Because in order to build 10 fresh presets, you basically need to create 10 characters from the base of the new race and then fully customize them so they can be exported as .npc files to be re-imported into the presets in the Creation Kit.

Using saved game files (regardless of the race), can potentially knock days of development time from a race mod with a few simple console commands. And once Dawnguard launches, I'll be releasing new races like crazy (this DLC has WAAAAAAY to much cool stuff to pass on), and at a rate of one or two a week. And I would MUCH rather spend days customizing the overall mod, as opposed to spending days customizing single presets.

AAAAANNNNNDDDDD...... it's an opportunity for you guys to show off, as well as put your own personal touch into one of my race mods

So there's my request, and thanks for reading.....

PS: if you can post a screenie of the character in the file, that would be awesome

Well, I don't release anything until it's finished and fully tested by me personally.

But I don't want the saves for specific race mods. Basically, I'll sort a screenshot/save file folder, and then later pick which saves best fit into which races as I build them.

sow i send u some saves and thats all? thing is most gamers uses different parts from cosmetic/face mods, so we need to list things used too?

Nope.

When I load a save (even of a race I don't use/have), the first thing I do is switch it to the base race it's derived from. The facial structure is what's important, not really things like makeup, hair, etc..

Most times a save file loads faceless. But the second I switch to the base race, it shows right up. And after that is when I do my thing making the face.npc file for import to a preset

Does it matter what mods I had installed when I saved the savegame? I probably have a whole bunch of different characters in a backup folder somewhere.

Nope.

As I said, the very first thing I do is reset the base race so the essentials show up (if any are missing).

(edit)

I see you beat me to the past post. But, my question was a bit different.

(end edit)

Along this line...I have a save with barely any mods active (however it does have Live Another Life). Which, will likely cause a CTD without it. Since, it is saved in the interior of a custom room, that comes with the mod. If that is a problem, I can just go in and move the character out.

Also...does it matter if there is a custom head/face texture? I use CBBBLE and it has a different head mesh (I think) and different textures. So, it may look completely different...don't know if you are looking more for vanilla looking characters or what. Or if it matters at all.

The only thing that matters is the location. The save cannot be in any custom cell/location. I have LAL, but I'm not using it at the moment, because I use the Asteria for all my race mods.

If it's not too much trouble moving the character, another indoor location would be great, since the racemenu doesn't play very nice outdoors. Whiterun's temple is a great spot with good lighting as well

Here's my Imperial save. Saved inside vanilla Breezehome just to be safe.

Here you go. I posted this character in my CBBBLE thread too, but figured it would make a good preset for you to use, or whatever.

Let me know if it doesn't work, since I didn't deactivate every mod part of the save. Not sure if that will matter or not.

Also, the screenshot isn't a 100% exact match. But, you said color didn't matter. So, that shouldn't be a problem. The only physical thing different between the screenshot and the save character, is I used different eyebrows.

Also, the character is a Nord.

Here you go Vendayn:

Cute character..... I'll surely be using that face somewhere (most likely in my Dovahteens mod)

Trykz

July 10, 2012

Thanks I'm glad to see that the character doesn't look different really than the original. And I'm glad I can help. Definitely would fit in the Dovahteens mod, since she is supposed be more of a teen than an adult.

*Trykz* · July 10, 2012

This is what happens when I load a save from a race mod I don't use:

Every race mod is based upon a vanilla race. Once you know what that base race is, you simply switch to that race, and the face pops right into view

Unfortunately, the save I got this from is no good to me, because character save faces won't remain once you switch cells, unless you have the race mod it was built in. This character was a Temptress before I switched it. I don't use that race (mostly because it has no vampire option), so the save is trash now. But I get to keep the face regardless since it's extracted to my Skyrim directory

Not sure if this is what you wanted. But here's Alyssa, she's the one in my signature. Saved in Breezehome for convenience.

Quemon · July 10, 2012

Ok, i'm going to post Julie because she's total different.

Oh, and Elise because she's super cute.

*Trykz* · July 10, 2012

Nice character mega..... definitely one I'll be using pretty soon

Thanks! And I got the Frost Elves working! Yay! It's really fun playing Melyana.

Kraxon · July 11, 2012

So. Here what I could save from my first install. You may notice some have no or weird hair. That's because I had a different hair mod installed back then.

Annike - Nord
