Syls Amusements

So this is what I’ve been spending all my time at

June 7, 2018

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–

Has anyone seen Marcus?

I think Proventus took a level in badass.

Must be the hat.

And I don’t think Farengar’s going to listen to you about the latest styles from Wayrest anymore.

You see? The trouble he gets into without… I AM going to have to put Sedave on staff, for Marcus- wrangling.

Haha, Marcus must think we are made of money. Nope! It isn’t that long a sentence, you can just wait it out–

Marcus says I can just shut up now.

Also Marcus wants another hat.

of course he does

Basic Robes and a horridly tweaked Caffeine ENB . That is NOT what it is supposed to look like, whoops. But I couldn’t throw away these pics.

Marcus wants to try the monastic life

No, really– I’m pretty certain that’s what I overheard him tell Sedave:

When Sedave stopped laughing, he reminded Marcus of what happened when–

Look. You have to promise: WE CAN NEVER TELL THE ELF.

No, really, I mean that. Unless you WANT to spend the rest of your life living in the middle of the Ashlands or someplace inland of Lake Ixtihmal (I am pretty sure the Thalmor haven’t made it to the middle of Black Marsh), we cannot let even a relatively good humored Thalmor officer get wind of this. EVER.

Do you speak Saxheel?

I didn’t think so.

Marcus says it wasn’t his fault. There were these ruins; there was this temple– he had already got dressed for the … uhm thing. Party. And, anyway, he was doing one last walkthrough and pushed on a rock and it opened this door and welllll…
