This has been such a cool mod so far! I love how everything works and changes up my game in the best way possible for a potential alchemist, witchhunter, etc. I do have a question though, are vanilla flowers supposed to be coming through? And if so, is there any way I can not have them be part of the swap? I'm not a big fan of vanilla models/meshes and just wanted to eliminate them fully. Many thanks for making this mod!
If using the "More Flowers" version, you could end up with vanilla flowers if you don't have a third mountain flower mod installed. It is set up so Skyking's flowers and FxxK's flowers will swap out whichever flowers are using the vanilla flower paths. As long as you have the SkyKing and Fxxk's folders set up correctly with a third flower mod left as is, then there should be no vanilla flower models.
Ahh I see, I will check to see that the third flower pathing is set up correctly. I appreciate the reply and insight! This is one of my staple mods now, I love it to pieces <3
Thank you for making an additional 3 flower combi BOS version. I love the Scilla Bifolia blue flower mod.
Edit: Sadly I'm getting every flower that falls under "mountainflower" loaded into my game. Meaning I see vanilla flowers, too. I gave the Scilla Bifolia and the red flower mod of my choice the same treatment as described in the mod description.
Edit: Nevermind my mewling. I'm an idiot. Of course the third mod shouldn't have the same subfolder naming convention. Tried messing with the SkyKing_FxxK_Mountain Flowers_SWAP.ini first [Forms] section, hoping to remove the vanilla yellow and purple named flowers from appearing. Only leaving Skyking and FxxK purple/yellow flower variants. Didn't work the way I wanted. Settled for gutting out Mari's flower mod and left the purple/yellow flowers behind.
I love you so so so much! Not only do you make my favorite NPC replacers, but you saved me from completely destroying my game by f*#@ing this up. I was about to attempt to figure out how BOS worked specifically for these 2, but now I don't have to! Thank you soooooo much!
Hi! First, thanks for this mod. I'm trying to have Skyking Mountain Flowers, Reimagined Mountain Flowers and a 3rd one called Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers - Alternate Textures, but I don't seem to understand the instructions to make the 3 works together. What I did so far is,
1) I downloaded main file Mountain Flowers Patch - More Flowers
2) I deleted the SWAP.ini files in both, Reimagined Mountain Flowers and in Skyking Mountain Flowers.
3) I opened: Reimagined Mountain Flowers > meshes > dlc01 > plants. I created a new folder there named "Fxxk" and moved all the .nif files inside this new Fxxk folder.
4) I opened: Skyking Mountain Flowers > meshes > dlc01 > plants. I created a new folder there named "Skyking" and moved all the .nif files inside this new Skyking folder.
5) I opened: Reimagined Mountain Flowers > meshes > plants. I created a new folder there named "Fxxk" and moved all the .nif files inside the new Fxxk folder.
6) I opened: Skyking Mountain Flowers > meshes > plants. I created a new folder there named "Skyking" and moved all the .nif files inside this new Skyking folder.
Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers - Alternate Textures mod are only textures and has the original 3D Mountain Flowers as a master so I assumed that the changes (if any), should be done on the original 3D Mountain Flowers mod. My problem is, what should I name the new folders on 3D Mountain Flowers > meshes > dlc01 > plants 3D Mountain Flowers > meshes > plants.
Edit: It works. They look great! So refreshing to see all of them combined in different areas. I uploaded some pics in the image section (waiting for your approval). Thanks!
Great idea. Let me suggest some more mods for your BOS version. All the mountain flowers models are so beautiful that it is difficult to choose from them:
In the Swap ini fle of this mod it gives both mountain flower mods a 50% chance to appear, I guess if you lower it to 35% each, it wil show your other replacer mods with a 30% chance.... I am guessing, will try later.
Skyking's flowers are still direct replacers, so that wouldn't work. I made a version that gives each a unique path so you can use a third flower replacer of you choosing.
Is there any way to make it not swap on every load? For example, once a flower is selected for a certain spot, it remains that way throughout that save.
Hi, if I use More Flowers version, do I need flower mod.esp and Skyking Mountain Flowers.esp files or i can delete them?

Friend, Before this, I had two more mountain flower replacements already installed. I did everything according to your instructions. As a result, I got not 3 but 4 different mods working together and all the flowers from all 4 mods in all their diversity are visible in the game.
the first two mods are just mesh replacements, and they somehow mixed with each other themselves. :)

The only drawback to this approach is that if you use the Dynamic Looting and Harvesting Animations mod, the models from the last two mods in the list above do not appear in the hero's hands when he picks them.
You will need them, yes. I completely forgot about them still being listed as masters to the plugin for the "More Flowers" version and will clean it. That way you won't need the original two plugins if you aren't using them. You will still need the plugin included with this patch, however.
I can look into if it is possible to use AnimObject Swapper to swap those animobjects based on the specific flower distributed by BOS.
You're the best! I had a question about how BOS works with the different flower textures. Is it random as in, every time you load in a different flower will be in that spot, or is it like some other BOS mods where once one is set for that location, that's the one you'll see there every time you go to that location?
I just tried this and it's almost perfect. The only thing is, I really don't care for the Skyking Flowers but it doesn't look like I can use this without them. They're just a little too sporadic for my taste, some end up hovering and or clipping through stuff.

Thanks in advance for your help.

meshes > dlc01 > plants > Skyking > [put nifs here]
meshes > plants > FxxK > [put nifs here]
meshes > dlc01 > plants > FxxK [put nifs here]
And, you don't have to do anything with the Cathedral flowers. Just install them like normal.
It seems the "meches" was a typo that I kept copying/pasting all the way to the end of my post. lol
