Big thank you to JonathanOstrus on the xEdit discord for helping me with the new script 4.0 and duct tape a very odd aspect of it to work much better. And fireundubh for making us laugh.
Hello... I have some questions. I'll number them for easier answering. Sorry if these are obvious, I clearly don't know how this mod works.
1. Do you know if this will work with Eyes of Beauty: AI Remastered? 2. Could I make the vanilla eyes file work with the replacer version of either the Eyes of Beauty mods or other eye replacers using a tool to do it for me?
3. Are the eyelashes 3D? I was going to use the Face Part mod by Dint999, but I love the idea of your other eyelashes with haircolor sync mod and I imagine that would not be compatible with other eye/eyelash mods without a patch
4. Would using "showracemenu" to change your eyes around after becoming a vampire also fix any vampire issues? Though nif optimizer looks useful and I'll probably be downloading and learning about that anyway.
Before I answer, you are CLEARLY very new, so I will give you props for asking at all. All I have to say is do a little digging next time, because you can find most of these answers already elsewhere, you just need to do the footwork. Secondly, sometimes you just have to plug it in your game and find it out for yourself. 87% of this mod community is founded on the "f*ck around and find out" state of mind.
#1. Yes. I actually contributed to that mod, you're safe. #2. Also yes. if it's a texture replacer, there is nothing to conflict with. If it's got an esp, dubious, but you're just going to get my eyes and not theirs so your mileage may vary. #3. Yes. A mesh is a 3D object. Also yes, another mod would need to be patched. #4. These are two WILDLY different things. Do not use showracemenu while playing as a vampire there is a vanilla game engine bug that will mess up your character, do a quick google, absolutely do not.
#4... part 2: Why nif optimizer? I have no idea why you think this is beneficiary?? I always run Cathedral Assets Optimizer (which includesSSE NIF Optimizer in it as part of it's code) over all my mods and still test after before release so why is this something you feel is needed?
I do not know how new you are, and maybe English isn't your first language (common here, don't feel bad about it), but you just asked me thing you really should just do some google searches for. If English isn't you first language I can recommend you set your google search results in English in settings, you will get way better results, or use duckduckgo (again, English language st in options). I have a Filipino boyfriend and we've learned sometimes you get way better results if you switch the results to English.
It is 7am on my day off and am not a morning person, so I hope to gods that was coherent at all. Hope your day is good, and this actually helps.
I spent nearly an hour searching for the answers to these questions. I've been modding Skryim for years, but I'm autistic* and easily miss things other people find obvious. I also don't always know what to search I don't know what nif optimizer even does, it's new to me, so I was using it as an example of a tool. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go cry about my stupidity
*may or may not be the ASD exactly - bf on the spectrum is very good at knowing what to google, but I suck at it.
Also it helps and I'm fine I'm just very ashamed that I was too stupid to use google and spent an hour or whatever it was searching through comments instead
Sweetie I'm autistic myself, and the first step is to stop calling yourself stupid. I'm no psychologist but it sounds like you have a very, very bad case of imposter syndrome.
Breathe in, I'm not calling you anything negative, and my scolding nature isn't to hurt you but to guide you in the right direction. Google algorithm changes, and it takes practice to know how to use it. udm14.com is an older version of google's algorithm if you wanna try there.
Please be nicer to yourself. I have Imposter syndrome myself, but this is after a lot of self-therapy. Failing at something just means you now know what works, and it's not a bad thing. That's how you learn.
Thank you very much. I did feel much better this morning and came here to download the mod - at which point I realized I was tired and overwhelming myself with information when I originally commented. I definitely overreacted Your mod is working great. Seems I'm also able to use it with Dint999's Face Part mod in order to use Mikan's and Kala's eyes with eyelashes (I just make sure these load after) - though I really don't need this many different eyes lol.
Not sure how I never heard about the vampire racemenu issue until now... maybe I just forgot about it. I think I remember crashing my game and breaking my save with it years ago. That explains it then
For some reason I get a CTD when I exit racemenu. I can select the eye color, everything seens ok until I exit racemenu. Do you know if there might be some problem with SMP hair or something?

and 1 from CLA SSE - Crash Log Analyzer
First, check if the eye meshes are overwritten.
If not, second, try a fresh reinstall.
And third, if that fails, run SSE NIF Optimizer over it, and get back to me.
Thanks for your patience, I'm glad we fixed the issue together.
I have a question, Elves edition file's .esp seems to report missing master (I guess TEOB Elves Edition has slightly different naming in SE?):
You can: Rename the ESP to match, or...
Use Wrye Bash to change the master:
1) Allow edit (Right click in mod masters)
2) Right Click and select the incorrect master "Change too"
3) Hit save.
It'll work fine now.
