Skyrim SSE is very interesting to mod, and it’s got some quirks. I wanted to see if I could get my characters into it and have them look more-or-less similar. This took a lot more effort than anticipated:
So, the first problem was that Racemenu isn’t ported over yet and i didn’t feel like wrestling around with whatever alpha version of it is floating around out there. So, I grabbed Cyrelian’s head .nif, converted it, and took a look in nifskope. And– exploded hair! I had to make a new head nif without fancy hair.
So this is what I ended up with:
Shrieks of dismay.
I then started working on the things that I could change– skin and hair et cetera– here’s an in-progress shot:
Still kind of terrifying.
Much time and tribulation later, and–
Well, yeah, that’s why people got the remaster… just absolutely beautiful land– Sorry. I keep getting interruptions.
Fine.
All right then.
I’m done giving out warnings to the peanut gallery over here:
Oh, very nice, Marcus. That’s a good look. And you look so happy to see us!
Ahtar says if you start out as an ugly bastard that there’s not much room to go downhill…
eww.
So, after some cursing and re-installing and a lot of fiddling around, I managed to get ONE of the guys looking okay in SSE:
But all in all it was kind of a frustrating experience. And the eyes aren’t right. We’ll see how things go as the mods over there continue to improve.
And of course Ahtar says there are some faces only a mother could love–
Awww, Ahtar, don’t be so hard on yourself. Syl will fix you up. 🙂
Yeah, I’m kinda scared of making characters in SE because of the whole lack of racemenu thing. I am working with some sort of pre-skse workaround….and it’s less than impressive. BUT one does what one can do, and I couldn’t use nifscope to save my life.
Maybe someday when I get hours and hours of free time….. yeah, that’ll happen.
However, the landscape is beautiful, I mean awesomely beautiful. And since some decent ENBs have been created, the atmosphere combined with the beautiful landscape (which we should be able to mod the hell out of since we can use our full 64 bit computer capacity) is breathtaking.
I like to push my computer as hard as it will go, so I’m loading up on the textures. We’ll see if the poor little hamster in my computer case can keep up 😀
hmmmm….at o’clock in the morning my fingers don’t work so well.
jumarbye
geez. at 2 o’clock in the morning, etc etc
Haha, Nifskope, yeah. I can put textures on stuff! Sometimes even in the right places assuming I can find a similar thingie to look at. If I click any of the other buttons and get those green triangle things I totally panic and shut it down.
I am sure I will fix my guys up in SSE soon enough; I am getting it into shape for the Beyond Skyrim stuff since that all looks like it’s going to be SSE.
