Not sure why, the mod (bac.esp) when activated from your archive (a few posts back) on LE, does CTD the system.  If I put the original + mine back in, it works, but I retired it anyways.

 

GuruSR.

If you put it in the first time, it moves the npcs_...-Arrays into StorageUtil. Anyway, the version I put up is the version I'm running myself and it does not crash my game. The only difference is that I run it with loose files vs. .bsa. Perhaps that's the problem? I noticed that the .bsa was considerably smaller this time than the last (172MB vs 188MB). I packed it again and it was that size again, so I gave nothing about it, since BSA browser Portable could read it. I use Load Game CTD Fix and Crash Fixes and so far, it worked.

That won't work, other mods override that, that is the issue.  You have to check the read status in the background and update the quests that rely on it.

 

GuruSR.

If that's the case then Lost Legends (Gauldur) and Red Eagle will also not work because they use the same script.

I did not touch the quests as yet and the book doesn't have a script attached. Acolyte Jenssen's dialogue starts with quest "Who I Am" at stage 30, so try a setstage bac_whoiam 30 in the console. Btw. It looks the same with Brandon's diary. That stage would be 60.

okok thx

I removed the previous loose files to avoid conflict, also the loose files that came with the original, then tried yours, I don't think Load Game CTD would have done anything, can't even get to the menu with it open, I do have Crash Fixes.  Perhaps move your loose files out and see or have a secondary copy of Skyrim so you can test/debug mods.

There are mods out there that rewrite the original default (Bethesda) scripts for reading scrolls/books, not sure what it was called, but it interferes with submitting notifications to the quests needing notifications, I saw someone post a video on this thread with that same thing, they opened one of the books and got a reward for doing it, then the quest didn't progress.  You have to either duplicate the default script yourself for all of the reading and make them separate and that will work, but using the default one from Bethesda, expect it to be rewritten for some other mod.

 

No idea what you did with the scripts or where you started, but I did patch all of them to work (especially the ones that wouldn't lock you into the milk machines properly), so looks like you're using the original scripts and starting fresh?

Try the 1.9C1 update for the time being. With a fresh start the 1.9C2 will not trigger ? I found two conditions that contradict each other.

Actually I was using 1.9C1 as the "Recent" until another update appeared that i didn't noticed. but i'll try the one even before.

[NexusRefugee]

I feel like a absolute unit at tall cow now  did you make them taller with 1.9c2 @botticelli(currently using 1.9d2 on old save tho :D) Im very happy at the fix of the un equip reequip i have not run into any issues. *in SE on old save.

Strange, I only did script fixes and added 2 potions. (plus modified the hoof nifs) That shouldn't normally crash Skyrim. Only if upon loading your save file, the script was just running a section I edited. Mine is running fine. That's the reason so many people recommend not doing quicksaves or autosaves because they happen at the worst of moments scriptwise. If I want to change my modding, I try to make sure script load is very low before saving (like in qasmoke).

I don't use quicksaves or autosaves either, only regular saves. The thing is, BAC updates very frequently in the background, and the only way I can know if it is doing one of these updates is by checking the console... which I usually do not do before making a save. It'd be great if you could put in a notification or something that indicates when BAC is doing something in the background.

it does have notifications, also check console because that should display things from bac when it is doing something.

Here is a quick dirty SSE port of Bac Alternative 19.C2 update, Hopefully you have no issues, i have tested it a little bit and so far everything is good but i recommend trying a new save first.

Really glad this mod is getting new life from GuruSR and botticelli (and others), but I had a question regarding the new hooves. How do you actually change the color of the hooves? I've made sure to build them in Bodyslide, but the only hooves that appear on my character are the brown ones.

[MysticDaedra]

Alright, gonna try to track down once-and-for-all why my RaceMenu HH don't seem to want to work with the BAC hooves. other heels seem to work fine.

is this for pre-AE or post AE special edition because I've been unable to get it work, but I use pre-AE Special edition, the menu is clickable but once I press it, it is just blank and wont let me press anything, but if I use it on a file that was using bac 1.8 the menu would work but nothing was working properly. e.g. further stages (some assets did work like tongues but nothing else)

it hasn't been working for me on new saves.

I used the original ones, but will have a look at yours when I come to quests. There's no need for me to fix anything that you already did.

No I didn't make them taller ? *But* the hooves I provided have an 8.25 lift instead of skyrimfet's 7 and if you got large or huge hooves that amount is 14.75 (large) or 25.00 (huge), which will result in somewhat enormous cows ?

weird it is pre AE, Than again i am no expert at converting LE stuff to SSE, Give it time also the mod takes awhile to load up and in general is slower to load things. For me when i loaded a existing save it took a few mins for the horns to appear after the tongue did.

Now the slow part could be me or it could be the changes that botticelli did that causes delays in the updating, Previous versions i tried like Guru's never had this issue and usually would update immediately.

Good luck, i never been able to figure it out, what we really need is a dedicated SSE version of this mod because it seems to require further changes than just a simple conversion with CAO since things like HDT and High Heels are all bugged since they were made to use LE. 

Also do you have sound with your hooves the ones shown on your pic? mine don't make any sounds which i had that issue with the LE version of the game too but SE gives the same results for me. I figured this was a mistake i made with the load order but moving to SE since last year also yields the exact same results and i could never find the reason.

Edited March 1, 2022 by LinksSword

[LinksSword]

Anyways @GuruSR said a while back that the reason the first set of hooves have missing sound might be due to the wrong sound format which is preventing them from having any sound effect, which i wonder is there anyone else here with the same issue because i couldn't find much complaints on this.

[LinksSword]

@botticelli I would change how the tongue works, Rather than have it appear at stage 2 at the size you selected i would have it appear much later stage and then get bigger every stage until it reaches max length to the corresponding setting. Just a suggestion.

Agreed, I feel like the tongue should be part of the face transformation, which happens pretty much last.

I also do not have sound for the hooves. Not sure why, hasn't started to bother me yet... although now that you bring it up I'm sure it will lol.

The issue was that Outfit Studio wasn't exporting the file properly or something. By putting the extra data in via Nifskope it actually worked.

I haven't done all of them yet, just the ones on my character. I'm lazy xD but I'll share them when I get a moment to finish.

[Alturistix]

idk why but BAC isnt registering my PC as a target so bac isnt quite working for me. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

 

[esoter]

I installed the 1.9C1 update and I keep getting this texture in place of the horns texture. Can anyone shed some light on any potential causes for this? I've attached my load order.  Thanks.
