Patience, friend. These things take time to examine, particularly with a major mod like Vilja.

Yup, I've noticed quite a few mods that were very quickly ported across to SSE without testing are flawed and the last thing I for one want to see is a flawed port of Vilja, better to take the time and be sure it's ok rather than get caught up in the rush to get mods uploaded like some seem to have been doing.

I love the ports that say. "Try it and see if it works." High Resolution Mega Squirrel Pack "Try it and see if it works."

Actually, most of the mods that are posted as "ported" are in fact not ported at all. It's just the same old version but with loose files instead of a bsa. The new creation kit was released only around the 5th of november, so everything older than this is definitely not converted (and the mods you have tested, naramoore and btog46, must have simply been the same olf mods as before but with extracted bsas). A truly converted mod should be converted in the new creation kit, but there are still a number of problems - for instance, the new nif-skope is still pre-alpha, and as long as it does not work for creating new face-gen nif-files, unique faces made with the old creation kit won't look the same with the new creation kit.
Doing like many other mod authors, i.e. extracting the whole bsa and uploading Vilja as "new version" is not something we would prefer to do, as uninstalling or upgrading a mod that have +3000 loose scriptfiles doesn't seem like a good deal.
We are discussing how to handle the situation, but would rather wait a little longer and ensure a good, stable result.

Actually I am not testing any mods on SSE. Right now I have my hands full running 32bit SE on a new rig. Spent the whole day working out how to use DynDOLOD with my load order. Maybe I'll try SSE again next weekend if Inigo is released by then. Vilja release of course would be just as good or better.

Yes, as you pointed out, most were just a simple loose file conversion from the original bsa, in itself that isn't too bad, my point is a lot were ported in the early rush without testing to see if there were any problems. I unpacked the bsa's of quite a few mods myself to test if they worked properly or not, the annoying thing is most mods I converted that I wasn't all that interested in seemed fine, but a lot of mods I liked had bugs when converted, but that's just my bad luck.

Well, I am in fact very optimistic that we should be able to make a good, truly converted version of Vilja that can be released fairly soon, we are testing various solutions with results that look promising.

Thanks bunches Emma! You explained a number of things I was wondering. For me my guiding light is going to be Vilja. When she converts to SE with Emma and Co. blessings I'll consider following along.
IMHO, Skyrim is barely able to keep it together and not crash. A zillion fixes and work arounds were added, then they go tweak Skyrim and make it even more unstable?? Sounds like a bunch of star gazing sadists at the wheel.

Hi Emma, I'm looking forward to having Vilja in my game again - in SSE. I'm sure Inigo will be as overjoyed as I will be. Thank you for all your hard work. My experience of SSE is that it is stable.

I think we have all the time off the world, i play skyrim with "Group Use" of skyui to change the situations. Without skse we will have no skyui and without skyui skyrim is not worth playing

"All the time in the world", didn't work out so well for James Bond... At any rate, a spoiler... youtu.be/qFY28UL3DTw
