That is just it. Dawnguard is used by all the crossbow mods. Why reinvent the wheel so to speak. Dawnguard did all the basic graphics and worked out all the rough data. A whole lot of work modders won't have to do.

Dawngaurd gives all the artwork and stuffing. Why would someone want to reinvent all of that?

I had this well documented but was hinted at my contributions weren't welcome and I deleted the postings. Perhaps Dova will explain. But a little hint. PLEASE revert to a saved game from before leaving the sanctuary with Heneri. There may be nothing wrong, but there is a chance the entire rest of the Vilja quests will be corrupted. Noted issues: -Wilburt may never give the bards quests. Might never go to the BC. -Halvdan's cohorts may never show up. No note, no Vilja rescue. -Vilja rescued but she has no further dialogue regarding her quest. -Vilja not present on the ship. May be found in the wilderness. -Heneri never teaches Vilja spells. -Donkeytail quest arrested. Heneri gives no further instructions. -All is well but the family never shows up at Windpeak. many hours of gameplay can be lost.

The advantage of manually installing a mod. If you use an installer, where the installer is on your HD, where Skyrim is, where the associated game folders are, anything and everything game related, MUST NEVER EVER BE MOVED OR RENAMED FOREVER! If any little zerp is changed the mod installer program can happily do a partial uninstall or no uninstall at all but tell you it did and all is wonderful.
Here is an added SCREW UPPUS FANTASTICUS to the uninstaller we encountered. Windows. Installer is X86. Skyrim data is kept in X64. Installer works in the X86 directory. Installer uninstalls X86. But the Windows game data is kept in X64 and the two will never chat with each other. Upshot of this is, installer sort of worked. But when I went to uninstall a mod it said it did but didn't as it's records are in X86 and the game records are in X64.

Rhyls, a word of advice from the mod mess maker of all time. BEWARE of over writes. As the files are copied Windows asks if you want to merge folders which is fine, but mixed up in those requests you will occasionally find OVERWRITE THIS FILE? Read that as straight from Dante. ABANDON ALL HOPE FOR GETTING RID OF THAT MOD!!
My messy method. Looking for an easier one. I make a copy of the entire Data folder. A tiny little thing usually not larger than 20 GB. Then when I install a mod and it asks to over write an existing file I note what folder the over writes go in. I answer yes to every over write while taking notes then revert back to the saved Data folder. Then I make a save of the folders that contain the files that will be over written and just make a copy of those instead. Usually just the meshes and textures folders. Those saved folders get labeled PRE-(whatever the mod's name is). This saves a few trillion GB in storing your mess.
To remove mods that have not over written files. Simple. Reinstall the mod again. Then before you go get that cup of tea and do other things, tell Windows to UNDO. Poof and that mod is uninstalled completely.
Additional mod uninstall sanity savers. Make a custom save before the uninstall. I use the console command save (mod-name-uninstall). Then after the uninstall, start the game. It will usually ask, Some Mod/files be missing. Continue? Answer yes. Make another save immediately. save (mod-name-gone). Exit the game completely and restart. Check and see if the game is stable and works right. Corruption will become obvious in the next few months. Maybe a year or two. Or if you are lucky, in a few minutes. Try to get the game to crash by having the PC do things that would or might be associated with that mod. For example, I just got rid of Darkwater Lodge so I uninstalled and walked the PC all over the area where it was and went through all inventory that could have been affected.

Cache?
Aug 16, 2016 9:40:48 GMT
Post by Sniffles on Aug 16, 2016 9:40:48 GMT
Rhyls, the cache file is the temporary virtual memory file which is generated each time you start the game and deleted when you exit. The normal way to adjust your virtual memory is click start and enter Advanced in the query box. The system protection window should open because Microsoft programmers who set this up are idiots. Under the advanced tab select the Performance button then in the new window, select the new Advanced tab. In the new window select the Virtual Memory button. There are as many opinions as to how large your virtual memory should be as there are turnips in England. Letting Windows decide is safe, or setting it manually to about 1 1/2 times the memory installed in your computer will work unless it doesn't. Our tech has us make a small logical disk partition as the last partition on the C: drive of about 10GB. This is assigned as the virtual memory and used for nothing else. This way the virtual memory isn't sprinkled all over the C: drive trying to find room. Also, the last part of the hard drive, the last partition, is always the fastest.

Looks to be basically the same body to me, just a lower body weight on the clothed version, something that's a bit unusual compared to Skyrim, as the modders usually increase body weighting with armours/clothing, especially if it's an HDT version. Compared to some of the ridiculously over inflated anti gravity boobs on follower mods for Sykrim lately, even that nude version looks small. So this is just body weight difference? Is there some way to import this body to Skyrim?

Oh lordy, as the owner of some fairly large breasts, breathing does not make your breasts bounce/flap up and down like that (1:20) and frankly if it did, it would be painful... You know how dudes wince if they see someone get kicked in the nuts? Similar feeling watching the latter half of that video. (See also a video I watched where the person's Skyrim character was wearing steel armour (albeit skimpified) and I swear to god her boobs were swaying in the breeze like balloons...) Still, I like the actual breathing part, will check out the mod! After going through more breast festish mods that I care to think about, anti gravity mammaries ad infinitum and nauseum, I happened entirely accidentally on an appearance that actually was tasteful and looked darned good. Unfortunately it was for Fallout 3 and FNV, a mod consisting only of meshes and textures, for the Type3 Body V3dot5. The bodies in that mod were typical bulbous messes but this mod, Kendo 2's ME3 Jack Outfit for Type3 was nice. But it's an outfit, not just the body, and you're stuck with the exposed boobs around C cup which I find quite acceptable. I wish I knew how to convert this to Oblivion and Skyrim. The problem is without the clothes, that jacket, she reverts to the Guernsey cow look. But the jacket doesn't look bad at all. The body musculature when wearing those clothes is excellent. Honestly, the most anatomically accurate of any body mod I've seen including Skyrim and Oblivion. Here's the body without the outfit. Back to the boob fetish stuff.

Uhh Seyheb. Nope nope nope nope. All wearing the same outfit? I think there is a universal law against that.

At the speed my PC is developing magic, Alduin has an excellent chance of dying of old age before she achieves the required conjurer level.

The object apparently has no base ID. It is Kahvozein's Fang and along the way it somehow got smithing improved which it supposed to be impossible. en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Kahvozein's_Fang#Kahvozein.27s_Fang So there it sits in the inventory, a little chunk of DB pollution.

I've had worse problemses. Vilja, where's your armor? And while you're looking, see if you can find my body. Or how about a custom deluxe bunny?

Squishy does that quest... well, she has a custom save: TargetPractice7 I think. Just before entering Swindler's Den. She especially loves standing in the water at the end of that cave, gives a dragon shout then hones her head shot bow skills.

That feature of Vilja complaining about the player not wearing the armor was, thankfully, removed in the Skyrim version. She beetches about the PC being naked instead.

That Pop Forts can be a nasty surprise. You get used to the vanilla 3 or 4 bandits pacing the walls and take a pot shot at one of them and suddenly 20 of them come running out and chase you across the countryside. That's when you go looking for wolves or bears in the hopes their attention gets diverted. .... I could really use a case of dragon right about now!!! Never around when you really need one.
Worse is those forts where there are spell casters and they start major meany from a long distance. You can get frozen incinerated before you get a chance to run.
