Being a Cow

[MysticDaedra]

So, one of my pet peeves about the current state of the quests is how short the amount of time locked in the milking machines are. The hunters threaten to hasten the transformation, but even on Fast it seems like barely even a single level is gained, both in the cart and in the basement/auction. I also noticed that whatever is increasing the milk quantity during these sessions (the "drug") seems to be limited by the MME max milk/maid level setting. I prefer to use this setting,.. anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on how I might roleplay getting transformed faster without resorting to the potions?

During the pump scenes, I'll check, if your current milk amount drops below 10, and then add 20 units with no max check enforcement. Would that be ok?

No max check enforcement (if it's even possible to bypass the MME setting?) for those scenes would be fantastic. Might be a good idea to add that to the Breast Enlargement job as well, since it's a similar thing ("drugs" that increase breast size by increasing amount of milk).

MME_storage.changeMilkCurrent(Actor akActor, float Delta, bool enforceMaxValue) can do that with enforceMaxValue = false

The horns are a texture issue, possibly related to VRAM or something else.

I turned my graphics higher and fixed but my game fps is now crap. I wasn't having this texture issue with the original file that's connected to the mod. I'm not sure if the textures were made higher or changed is some way but is it possible I can replace those files with the ones from the original file or is there a way to lower the texture quality?

Here is the ears pack with the awesome new ears made by @Addywil. Just let them overwrite any existing files.

CAO (Cathedral Assets Optimizer) is not just used for converting stuff to SSE, it can also be used to make textures and I believe meshes more performance friendly. You could give it a try, it might help.

It worked but now I have this purple body now not sure if this has to do with the mesh or the textures.

What file did you grab? Current 1.9D file has all required textures.

BAC is crashing when the cow head mutations start, the other mutations work though.

Edited March 28, 2022 by Steamedcorgi
it crashes at cow head 3 to be specific.

Not since i fixed it awhile ago Re-run your texture conversion  that's what did the trick for me + i started a new game as my old one finally got to messed up from all my mod changes  and my issue was on SE not LE so if yours is on LE might try rebuilt bodys or check your install.

The new ears look absolutely fantastic!

 

I'd dearly love to see some new hand hoof meshes, the current ones are fine in third-person, but as soon as I go into first-person... Can't stand them. So I usually end up just keeping my human hands.

Can confirm, the new head meshes appear to be broken somehow? I'm also getting a crash, although mine is happening at the first mutation. Are y'all on SSE? It's possible that something is borked in the conversion... this might be a mesh that shouldn't be converted to a bsTriShape.

 

EDIT: Yep, confirmed. The converted meshes don't work for some reason, but the original ones do. Just replace the heads folder in the SSE conversion with the original heads folder from @botticelli's original 1.9D.

Check the slavetats in data\Textures\Actors\Character\SlaveTats. There should be a file named bac.json and a directory named bac with about 87 textures. If in doubt, check this post.

I just used Bethesda's femalehead.nif as a base and applied some morphs in Outfit Studio, nothing more. So, this issure should be the same if you try to convert the standard femalehead.nif (see below).

Glad you like them   And a huge thanks to @botticelli for making them work with Skyrim.

 

I don't use the hand-hooves for the same reason. It could be interesting to look into though, but the fact that they are rigged with grip-motion makes it a bit more difficult. It would take some trial and error, so sending it back and forth for someone else to implement would not work as well in this case.  I would have to learn to skin and weight to the skeleton myself (I am not unfamilar with the process, I'm just not used to work with such old tools, I am spoiled ).
Another option would be to have a stiff Hand-hoof, but that on the other hand might look weird with holding weapons (If one allow that for their own Roleplaying that is ).
I am not saying that I am going to do it mind you, atleast not any time soon. But if you have any ideas/inspirations how they might look like, I might be convinced.

On an udder note: I have started to play around with some new udders, maybe with several stages of growth. I already have a beginning of a model done in zBrush.

Very odd. I'm not an expert on meshes by any stretch of the imagination... but so far your originals are working just fine ?‍♂️
