Permissions and credits

HAVE YOU ALREADY VOTED FOR AV ?
If not might I very friendly and politely ask you to (re)consider doing so. Leviathan1753 and Automatic Variants REALLY deserve this!!


I personally don't think a "endorse/unique download" ratio of 4.8% and a vote ratio of 1.94% (date 2012-08-11) is 'right' and just. The number are also VERY consersative because they are for the first release only and I'm sure many have found and downloaded AV after the first release. Meaning the ratios are probably MUCH lower.


News:
  • Saturday 2012-08-11: Initial release. Version 1.0. 38 textures, 17 NPC's, 14 mod authors. Support for NMM, MO and WB 299.



This mod page contains a so called Automatic Variants Package (AVP) which is ONLY usable in combination with Automatic Variants by Leviathan1753
. A better description would be Automatic Variants Port because I did not create the textures myself but I'm using textures created by real texture artists.


Information about Automatic Variants

  • A video found on youtube and created by Sounaipr (author of a few AV Packages ) shows AV in action using a few of the availabe AV packages.
  • Also this slideshow of pictures of AV-tized NPC's created by Leviathan1753 might give you a good impression
  • More information about Automatic Variants and what it is can be found on my on my Nexus page called "Wolverines collection of Automatic Variants Ports tools and resources"

That page will act as a central hub where amongst other things an overview of my collection of AV Ports is shown and links to the corresponding mod pages. This is also the reason that I have disabled the forum here, so all questions, remarks can be centralized.

The way I see it, its not up to me to decide what textures users should use or like. This is also the opinion of the auhor of Automatic Variants. AV has a GUI which enables users to enable/disable specific textures for a NPC. It also has a .dds file viewer builtin which shows a flattened skin of a NPC. Hence users can create the Skyrim experience they prefer


Discussion forum

For questions, problems and genreal discussion visit my central hub. I had accidentily enabled the forum here, but it will (probably) be disabled in the future.

Latest version: 1.0
Released: 2012-08-11

Note: The modpage of Lysanias has been hidden (probably left the Nexus)so I can't provide his mod and profile page on the Nexus. The textures were 'free to use', eg modders resource. This is stated in his README file. Creating this AVP took a LOT of time because of the amount of authors and to get the crediting they deserve right.

In the 'Files' section at the top of any Nexus page there is a 'Download history' option which gives an overview of all the mods you have downloaded and its status (endorsed or not endorsed). Remark: Unless you have a Premium account the 'download history' will be reset at the beginning of a new month. The "endorsement/unique downloads" ratio for ALL mods on the Nexus is ridiculous low. My rule of thumb: If I download and use a mod I endorse. I would not mind if you endorse this mod as well. I have quite a lot of private AV Ports and endorsements would give me an incentive to create more public AV Ports.
