[/quote'] Download 7zip. Install it and then run the 7zFM.exe file. When the interface opens, navigate to the folder the pack's files are in. Highlight the .001 file and hit "extract" (the minus sign at the top). Pick the .esp type you want (light, heavy, armor rating, etc.), and install it in your Data folder with the extracted BSA. Put the ESP anywhere in your load order among your other armor mods. Done
Ginnyfizz Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks Trykz I think I shall be able to run with that now!
Nemi Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 ... huh. do i need to do anything special to make the daedric elves race work? i drag and drop it, start up skyrim, it crashes; uninstall it, skyrim starts fine. can you think of any reason this might happen? all i do is drag and drop the data folder onto my skyrim one. i do have dawnguard too. to further iterate on this issue, all i have installed that effects races is your old mystic elves v1.5, alternative start; all the rest of the mods are either armor, weapon, body (CBBEv3M/coverwoman), hairstyles or textures. i can't think of anything that'd make it crash immediately on start-up. i did disable your mystic elves race too, but, that didn't help either. it just crashes. kaput. could you think of any mod that i might have that makes the race crash immediately? i can't even get to the menu screen. it crashes after the bethesda/skyrim logo.
Lilstormcloud Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Installed dovateens. very nice race mod. The high elves actually look good now for a change . I'm getting this weird problem esp on the human teen races though where the eyes clip through the face. I have got enhanced char edit installed wonder if that's the issue.

ToJKa Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 This is propably caused by something obvious i've forgotten, but the skin of those Dovah Teens is somehow messed up. It has black spots close up, and from distance it shows completely black. I have the CBBE body mod and skins for them installed, default races show up fine. Have i missed something? Edit: Strange, restarting the game fixed that up
hauntedpassion Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 so, i finally got around to make some screenshots of my characters of your races. Elina, Nidia: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Zhiva, Frost Elf: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Xhei-Chan, Stygian: Uploaded with ImageShack.us I have a whole lot of fun playing them, thanks a dozen times for sharing your Race Mods! Cheers, Magda
Ginnyfizz Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Hey those are real beauties. I have my gaming rig back so I will have to reacquire these great mods!
tomfoolery Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Got an issue with Dovahteens. The body textures are quite rough and don't match the hands/head. Not sure what's causing it, I'm using CBBE Curvy, but I get the same texture and look no matter what type of body I use.
White Divinity Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 awesome races Trykz i really loved them , was wondering if u still have the race called silvermist elfs ?
BigSword Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks for sharing your mods Trykz. My favourite Dovahkiin yet:

Not sure what's causing it' date=' I'm using CBBE Curvy, but I get the same texture and look no matter what type of body I use. [/quote'] Umm..... why are you using anything at all? Dovahteens is a 100% standalone race. It uses it's own custom body meshes, textures, skeleton...... I even provided a 100+ piece armor collection custom fit to their body shape. If you unpacked the BSA to swap things around, then I can't help you because I have no idea if you put replacement parts in the locations the ESP expects to find them. If you didn't unpack the BSA, then delete any folders associated with the mod that you have added, and it should work normally.

I'm currently on business away from home, but it may be on my notebook drive which I brought with me. I'll check a bit later today, and if it's there, I'll post it to my MediaFire this evening if you really want it. However, I'd suggest waiting as I plan to revamp that mod pretty soon. It was a 4 race mod, so I might break it apart and make each different race standalone. Haven't really decided on that yet, so we'll see.
WizardOfAtlantis Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks for these races, Trykz. Each one is certainly quite the package! I'm trying DovahTeens now and love what I see but what I'm not seeing are non-vanilla hairstyles and eyes showing up (I have Apachii and The Eyes of Beauty loaded) and they show up for everyone else but not the Teens. Shouldn't they show up automatically? Or do I need to load them up in the CK? Thanks for your time and thanks for these races!

I kinda figured that's how it should have been. You know, come to think of it, not even the vanilla eyes and hair options are showing up, either. Just one hair style and eye color option and nothing else. Vanilla hair colors work but not styles, like vanilla eye shapes work but not vanilla colors. Yes, dovahteens and elves are loaded after the respective hair and eye mods (there is an esp for the Eyes mod but I think that's for the NPC inclusion add on).

I'd try the hair first. Move the selection slider fully left then right, then back to the left to see if the style starts changing. Oddly it happens from time to time that alternate selections can't be made until you cycle "past" the current option's slot on the slider. I don't know what causes it, but it's definitely not the mod itself. If that doesn't sort it, then something is conflicting. This isn't an issue that I or anyone else (as far as I know) have encountered. So you may have to deactivate/reactivate one mod at a time until you find what's causing it. Let me know how you make out if you pinpoint something, and I'll update the Dovahteens post with the name of the conflicting mod. Thanks, Trykz
WizardOfAtlantis Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Thank you for the help and advise, Trykz. I'll give those suggestions a shot as soon as I can.

[/quote'] No problem..... Silvermist Elves was part of a 4 elven race mod that primarily used a lot of vanilla assets. Basically, it just added elven ears to the vanilla races, and gave them a lot of skintone variations. I think the race you're most interested in was probably the most popular of the four. Which is why I've been considering the likelihood of splitting them off as a standalone race for quite a while. Things have gotten a bit off track here in Florida, so it looks like I may be here a while until I get things situated to my liking. I prefer building mods on my desktop rig, but I've done a few on my laptop which is all I have access to at the moment. If it starts looking like I may be here longer than I expect, I may send for someone back home to ship it to me. We'll see how the next week or two go Trykz
ThePerformer Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 The 'Vampire' esp is only for people who want to be a vampire, but is it for Dawnguard or Vanilla play? If it's only for Dawnguard, does that mean we can be vampires in vanilla, or do we still need it?
