I'm fairly new to using mods and understanding them. I have downloaded all of your mods (as of last night), as I prefer the looks of the npcs. I'm not 100% sure by what you mean on disabling mods, as I use Vortex. I have them all 'enabled', and not sure what I should be doing. I've only been on this new character for about an hour. I'm in Riverwood and already see black faces. I know there are 'ways' to fix these, but I'm getting too old (72) to try and fix these things, when I really don't understand what people are trying to tell how to fix these issues.
I have never touched Vortex so unfortunately I can't help you with that, and while that disabling the individual plugins is important for this AIO (because otherwise you might as well skip the AIO completely) I am not certain it will fix your issue in this case, as black faces could be the result of other conflicts in your load order.
Skyrim is very finicky to mod and since you are new to using mods I highly recommend that you either watch beginner Vortex tutorials on youtube and start small with only a few mods and go from there, or that you uninstall all of your mods and only use a premade mod collection without adding or removing anything from it. I know that the main appeal is to customise the game exactly how you want it, but it takes a lot of time and effort to learn the basics and then troubleshoot everything, which isn't always worth it. Finding a finished mod collection that you like and then just enjoying the game might be the best way to go :)
Vortex has decided to re enable the plugins that are supposed to be disabled, if anyone else is having this issue, just close vortex and manually delete the plugins from Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data.
Is there a way to make these replacer mods play nice with bodyslide? I would love to use them, but unfortunately they seem to override any changes I make to their bodies, so they're stuck with the default bodies while un-edited NPC's use the customer body I have loaded.
I don't think it really has anything to do with the replacer mods in question but what you use to distribute the bodies. I can't really help with that and suggest you look at the mod pages for info instead, but also that if you ask for help that you include more info to go on (such as what specific mods are included in your issue) to make it easier for others to help you. Hope you get it sorted!
Just wish i could turn janassa into a vampire without her reverting to default and going bald anybody know how i could copy paste this into like a esp to make janassa look like this in the event she becomes a vampire except with the red glowing eyes
It'll be its own mod when it is done and no more NPCs will be added. Until then, this is just a way to limit the amount of plugins for those who want to use all of the replacers listed
I've seen a few other comments on your mods about bald heads and I've been working on trying to fix that. I'm using the Loretrim fork of Lorerim so obviously there's gonna be a lot of conflicts, but I have your mods at the very bottom for priority order and the esps at the very bottom too, so nothing is overwriting them, but I still get bald heads. The same doesn't happen for the Bijin NPC replacers, strangely. Those work both right out the box and with a custom compatibility patch. I tested this out using both your AIO mods and also the individual mods(even redownloaded to make sure nothing was corrupt). So even when these mods are overwriting everything, there's some fundamental conflict. Any ideas?
Edit: Looks like I found a solution in your discord from someone with the same problem. FemaleMouth and FemaleHead aren't present in your ESP so I just moved them over from the last Lorerim ESP affecting the NPC. Works so far at least for the one NPC I tested it with.
Further update, that method worked when using the standalone Shield-Sisters mod but not with the AIO. Really wanted to use your mods but I've ran out of patience with this and just wanted to start finally playing. Appreciate the response, and it's a shame I can't use your mods with this setup.
Hello, I want to use your pandorables AIO on Xbox but am trying to save space, do I need to download a hair mod as well for them to work or is the hair included? New to modding and Really confused any guidance would be awesome and thanks for all the hard work you do.
MeisterB handles all of my ports and I'm pretty sure there is some sort of AIO that he made over there, I might be wrong though. I know practically nothing about xbox but I'm pretty sure you can't use this AIO there regardless, because of how mods work on xbox. If you for some reason decide to try anyway (don't recommend), I have listed all requirements in my mod descriptions and if a mod isn't listed, it's not needed.
He has probably ported thousands of mods from many different authors at this point and likely gets spammed by strangers on a daily basis, so the first thing should be to see if there is some sort of AIO available over there before bothering him. It might be under another name, I think I have heard people refer to some "Pandorable mega pack". If it exists, I hope you find it!
I am not and wont be spamming anybody lol. Trying to find the answer to what I think is a fairly simple question, I have done plenty of research ad know of all the packs he has ported but my question remains the same. I have asked him if he replies or not ill see, I don't know if youre trying to make me feel bad for asking a question but it seems like youre trying. you could just tell me to f*#@ off id prefer it.
For those that want the AI Overhaul patch to be updated, try instead using Synthesis and it's AI Overhaul patch thing. I finally tried it and it was easy. It worked, too. I saw NPCs doing things I never saw them do. It is pretty cool.
TY for your work. Installed all mods. Installed AIO. Unchecked the plug ins....and unchecked the mods on the left panel of mo2. Is that okay since just unchecking the plug ins did not reduce the ESM + ESP number. TY for the clarification.
The mods in the left pane need to stay enabled, otherwise the AIO can't access the meshes and textures from those mods. Disabling the plugins is enough, your MO2 might have needed to be refreshed for it to register. You can also delete those individual plugins instead of disabling them, if you prefer
