Many thanks for the fantastic resource collection! I've downloaded all the 4 archives and found out that some meshes are missing - most of all from the Static/dwarven folder. In the latest Resource pack, this folder only includes some catwalk meshes, all the rest is missing. I do hope it would still be possible to include them, please:) I was trying to find them elsewhere, but it didn't work out... Those are your meshes, EleiMiShill, right?
The dwarven set with the catwalk are not mine, and there're some problems. Unrotunately the original modder doesn't seem active anymore You should be able to find the link to the original mod in the "Credits" section.
I really like this mod idea, but the self extractors do seem to cause an issue (Download blocks, general distrust of EXEs). I recommend looking at how the FOMO Mods are building up their resource packs. They break them down in 200GB chunks and keep adding new chunks by new files rather than updating the old. Only the ESP get updated.
If the author would like help setting up the recommended download setup I can offer assistance.

I wound up building a Bain package out of these (so i could easily uninstall if required) but is an extra step I feel should be unneeded. Individual resource packs should allow downloading into NMM for ease of install (or Uninstall).
Edit: For others currently trying to download this mod, I recommend manually downloading the Resources to the Desktop, running the auto extract into a folder named Useful Meshes Collection and zipping that to drop into the BAIN installers. Don't try to use the NMM even though the button is there. It can't handle the self extraction properly.
The archives are in 7z format, and I know that somebody doesn't have it. That's why I made the auto extracting .exe files. Well, you can still open those with 7zip. I could solve the problem with .zip archives, but they'll be bigger (can't use maximum compression rate to avoid compatibility issues). Don't know exactly how bain packages works, but I don't see that a viable solution. I create manually the archives so that I don't need to update all of them every time I add resources. And people don't need to download the old achives each time I do a new release, but just the newer ones.
I'll take a look to fomo because the project seems similar to mine. Thanks for the feedback.
The Bain package(for this function) is just one big zip with the Mesh, textures, esm in it, and it knows to put them in the data folder. No need for .zip it can read .7z. But that would not work here. Too big. I just made it to allow easy uninstall if it turn out I would not use it.
The NMM suggestion is how you predict. You break the resources down into 200GB chunks labeled Resources 1, 2, etc and the updating esm. You can marked when a resource file is maxed and thus never needs a further update, to allow you to make small corrections but only updating the latest resource pack and the esm. NMM can read .7z as well you just have to format right (Just Mesh, Texture, etc I think, haven't made a file for NMM in a while). This can also allow for easier uninstall.
I'll be tracking as this is the kind of project I was considering building myself to avoid having multiple BSAs among my mods. Thanks.
It can happen that some browsers block the exe downloading because they can potentially contain viruses. An antivirus scan is always in order when you download from Internet, whatever it is.
Still, I tried to download the files and everything is ok. So it is something on your side, I fear. and I can't help you there. All I can tell you is that the browser should tell you the reason why it doesn't download the files. And the instructions to remove the download block.
It can be a transient problem. Still, if you encounter further difficulties let me no.
Unfortunately the files are really big (300M the biggest). This will increase the chances of errors in trasmission. If you still have problems, I can try to reduce the files' size. So let me know and I'll see if I can do something about it.
@Zanza0 I went on and downloaded and executed/extracted all the files, and all them worked just fine. Perhaps you had some problem with the Internet connection. Can you try to download and extract the files that gave you troubles again and tell me exactly what error was reported?
I'll give a look to it. There're 4 files to download, Texture, Meshes, 02Ressources and the Main file.
I can't understand the broken link issue. The storage of the files is provided by TesNexus, and should work. I just tested all 4 files, and I could download all of them.
Now I'm trying to download 02Ressources and test it to see if it works or is a bad file. In that case I'll reupload a working version, also including a couple of new textures.
hey i love the look of this mod but i cant get it when i download resources it wont extract and says error when i download texture it brings me to a broken link error page same with the older version could i have like a folder with all of it in i could manually put in or help to make them work please
I realy want to use it and use it for dementional home

Belay that - tried a different browser which worked.
