so far im doing a lot of SKSE64 testing 

 

some older mods now work , but ill need to test  more 

 

created a how to guide for the SKSE64 install 

 

and added the amazing world of bikini armors SE to main [just the link] 

 

[Yoxgg04]

i definitely have to get the bikini armors, i tried to convert a few things deviously related from oldrim but i was unsuccessful, i would love to see that come to SSE along with some HDT details. Ill be sure to keep up with the things you post so that i can stay up to date.

hdt is possible but CPB is the current implementation on SE using skse 

 

the bikinis link is on OP if youd like them 

 

 

 

 

 

[duzellx]

well another day another skyrim update that breaks things 

 

: /

 i swear this pattern is eternal 

 

to those who do the skse64 you will need to remove the old version and update to the newest 

 

now currently some mods are causing CTD with the newset version 

 

for me i just nuked the game n mods [for the #####  time...]  , you can consider this a last step or such [id suggest troubleshooting each mod individually but doing that for em takes way more time then reinstall ..] 

 

reinstalled SE 

 

installed newest nexus 64.3 

install 20_00_07 skse64 [steps are in OP ]

 

then try install/reinstall of mods acting up 

 

[duzellx]

 

 

HDT werewolves SE for those interested 

requirements

-current skse64

-current hdt framework/phys 

-current cbs/cbs immersive

-fnis

-loot

-SOS

 

How to HDT werewolf in SE

-install hdt_werewolves -SE using NMM

-using loot sort mods , disable then reactivate this mod 

[otherwise you will get a headless/armless/leggless werewolf

do fnis 

update

 

and there ya go 

[duzellx]

updated OP with methods to porting and some new mods 

[duzellx]

Female atronarch Replacer 

 

pretty interesting 

[duzellx]

ok so with some enw update or edit to xpskeletonsbreaks the hdt werewolves sse , causes ctd on werewolf forms , lucky for you there is an alternative ...not hdt jiggly like the previous but if your into it 

still functions in SE, trying to rebuild hdt werewolves sse no luck, also trying for a hdt version of werewolf naughtbits 

[duzellx]

so sadly yet again creation club has broken the skse again with some POS update for a paid content most people wont buy 

so till this is updated skse and hdt and ect mods majority of game will be broken 

 

anyone else getting tired of Bethsda doing this ?

i know i am 

i swear every time i finally get close to beating the game and got everything how i wanted , insert SE update that breaks game or i must wait now for stuff to be updated to "fix" the update

ok ....?

[olebronkosrak]

Maybe not at the address

[duzellx]

i have no clue what your on about 

[duzellx]

general original post update

[duzellx]

added some new stuff to op 

 

currently im working on porting this 

 

i never really see transformable dragon followers and thought why not port it 

so far its rather simple 

-break bsa open with BAE 

-nifoptimize the meshes 

 

2 things of note

 

on 1st load in if you meet faallokaar might not end quest dialouge , simply save and reload and it works 

functioning with creature framework SE

 

only annoyance i havent gotten to work is CBP/HDT phys on the humanoid female form. any suggestions or help would be appreciated 

[duzellx]

now one of my favorite follower authors is dividedbythe9s

 

i like how all the followers are standalone and custom , but more over they usually are a unique creature or being 

 

that said after asking years ago to port the mods the author denies that ability [stated they would themselves ,but hasnt happened so im doubtful they ever will] 

 

in the meantime i thought id state the method ive done for self porting that is more "quick and dirty" 

but normally works fine 

 

so crack open the compressed follower file

 

now open nifoptimizer 

 

select the head and locate the facegen mesh folder, select it and optimize 

 

now deselect the head , move onto the body/armor folder normally has the followers name 

 

if not done already move the armor into its own folder there and body parts their own, select body folder and hit optimize , then move the nifs back into the original folder so the game can locate them 

 

next select the armor folder, two things may be required

 

if you can load in game and no rainbow, stretched mesh or red triangle appears prior to optimizing

simply optimize that that as you did the body

 

now if a mesh for armor or weapons does NOT appear right , you will have to select smoothing parts in nifoptimizer and then hit the optimize button 

 

-note if you optimize multiple times load in with those nifs can CTD 

 

once armor then is "done" throw it back into the original locations as you did with body parts so it works in game

 

now that all the pieces are done you can use if you like plugins for gimp to up the quality of the textures if your of mind to need a 2-4k skin on the character

 

now zip the file throw in NMM

 

and enjoy 

-typically they dont have cloths on till they are asked to follow player

 

 

 

 

[duzellx]

so im trying to port 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/91398?tab=files

but not much luck , so far it ctds on inventory look through  no matter what i do 

[duzellx]

ok another converted mod for kicks 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24543?tab=description

 

to make this work you simply take base mod, make it a loose file via BAE 

 

use nif optimizer normal setup to clean everything 

 

tricky part was getting the female body to work i ended up nuking the parts from the LL version except male and patched in in original UNPB body 

 

after that i had to swap textures from the other mod into base to make a single mod setup 

 

so far it works as intended be it the xenos look semi cheesy 

[duzellx]

welp new skse dropped grab it while its hot SE
http://skse.silverlock.org/

 

2009 SKSE 

typically id suggest data and SRC be in their own zips and placed in NMM everything else just drop in SKSE folder like normal 

[duzellx]

so ive spoken with the creator of the predators lost tribe and we are working on possibly officially porting the original mod 

 

always good to get some interesting mods going to official nexus ports

Wouldn't it be better to wait until everything else catches up?

depends on what you have mod wise and whats important for ascetics , some mods just need skse to be patched such as the skyui and then game works fine

race menu is already patched [0.2.7] and with that most newer skse mod requirements are  

right now FNIS works fine as does other animations , such as fnis sexy walk , ect

CBP and HDT [phys/framework] are the only ones not working for me personally 

 

in terms of mod updates, id say sexlab,sos full, CBP, HDT[phys/frame] are the only ones really remaining that are throwing up issues that need a fix

 

thats all i have issues with and with 740 mods active at this time myself 

 

realistically simply disabling updates would be the best thing, but i always find better performance after all is said and done with these updates

 

edit:

hdt is already updated to new version now it seems

 

[Kristus Kringle]

Right now everything is working for me because I haven't updated anything, if one thing breaks then updating doesn't make sense.

updating is only if you havent locked down the updates of skyrim, but then again authors do make improvements as ive said , so its a choice, either dont update keep status quo or update and get some optimization and performance increase every now and then
