It's already the case that when I equip apparel from both mods it can make part of my character disappear. Sometimes it's not so bad - like if a minor part of some outfit disappears. But sometimes it's really bad - most of my character's body (or an NPC's body) disappearing. Personally, I don't know the rules about what interferes with what, and I certainly don't know why it's unreliable (though maybe the order I equipped things matters?). But I think everyone should understand that there's real work here which has not been completed adequately.

Something I have been wondering about: Starfield includes in the game itself something very similar to bodyslide. This means that most body shapes could be achieved through the game's morphing system, and a custom body could be compatible with vanilla though probably with a higher polygon count. But ... there's a problem (actually several problems), one of which is a lack of documentation but probably the biggest problem is a lack of specialized tools for modeling using the game's new morphs. But the lack of documentation (and its impact on our modding community) tends to enforce the lack-of-tools-problem. Anyways, I am not sure where to even talk about such things, but perhaps it's ok to mention it here?

Is this still an issue? It seems to me that player is always 00000014 and while I am deeply suspicious of some of the things I have read about player vs game().getplayer(), I have seen people suggesting that game().getplayer() somehow introduces microstutters into the game. (That said, if that microstuttering really happens, it might be that game.getplayer() not only returns the playerref value but it might also be doing some initialization on the internal representation of the player.)

Well... I think I might have discovered the issue. But I have no idea what to do about it: It looks like each active ESM is opened by xEdit as a DLL. I have no idea why it would do that - are ESM's supposed to be executable code? EDIT: no, that should not be the problem - not by itself. v4.1.5p does the same thing, and does not get hit by these slowdowns.

After experimenting with this: some of the problem could be attributed to the anti-malware software on my machine. But whitelisting xEdit (and the files it works on) reduced the stalls but did not eliminate them.

The newest release of xEdit (v4.1.5q) includes some important features, but I am struggling to use it. And I am hoping maybe someone here can lend me some insight about what could be going wrong. My problem is that it's slow, painfully slow, and it seems like it has gotten slower in the few days that I have had it. For example, currently, when I start it up, there's a message about the recent changes. It took about five minutes for the form to become interactive. And in that time, xEdit used maybe 4 seconds of cpu time. The rest of the time was spent waiting. When the dialog eventually pops up to select the plugins I want to look at, I use the right click menu to "select none" and while that happens right away, there remains a white rectangle where the menu had appeard which does not fill in for several minutes. I am now up to maybe 10 seconds of cpu time consumed by this process (and, while I type this, I check back on xEdit, and it still has not filled in that white rectangle, and I am not yet able to select the plugins I am interested in.) It was not this slow when I first installed it, but it was painfully slow back then, also. Version 4.1.5p does not have these issues (though it also had a 64 bit exe which I used exclusively - the v4.1.5q release did not include an exe labeled with a 64). Does anyone know anything about what I could do to address this kind of behavior?

I am taking this to the (starfield) technical support forum, because my issue is a bit different from that.

Er... which version of SFEdit would you recommend? (I am currently using v4.1.5q and it is painfully slow, possibly because the release did not include a 64 bit version? I have it starting up now and I will probably have to wait another hour or so before it unlocks for editing).

Has anyone set this up with this suit (and the clear helmet) being a replacer for the starborn suits (and preferably not showing up anywhere else, but beggars can't be choosers)? I've not tried it yet (and I'm using ZBB if that matters) - but it looks like I'd have to modify the esm and maybe other stuff?

In case anyone else runs into this issue: Steam's overlay has low level ties to the graphics card, and if you have driver problems (or overheating problems or whatever else), this can crash steam. In my case, it was a driver issue, and updating my graphics driver fixed the problem.

But your question does not lend itself answers in the form of an image.

When I visit the download page for this mod, and click the big green "Download this file" button, it gives me a copy of "NeonDescent 240626.rar". But I do not know where you looked nor what problems you ran into. That said, I was wondering about the possibility of doing something with this mod - both in terms of permission, and in terms of how to handle mod conflict and patching issues with other Neon mods (I was thinking about NeonExpansion in particular, but general advice on the part of someone who knows would also be appreciated).

And some of the links in the first post are dead, and it's been years since splashzone has posted anything. That said, are you prepared to put together another thread? Or were you wanting to volunteer someone else's effort?

I keep running into a problem with starfield where it crashes, and steam was shut down. Steam doesn't get shut down by any other game. I do not know if the game is crashing because steam shut down or if steam is shutting down because the game is crashing. Either way, this is of course frustrating, and I am looking for hints about how to isolate (and hopefully fix) this problem.

This mod tends to lock up my game. Some of that is probably due to geometry (where there is not not enough room in the landscape where I am for the animations to play), but there's plenty of other problems including the game freezing when I try to exit it (and in starfield, if I load a save without exiting, some of the previous situation leaks into my freshly loaded game).
