I know this is an old mod, but do I still need the heights of skyrim.esp if I have ran the synthesis patcher? Should that patch not straight up forward all the height changes based off my modlist?
Also, is there a strong reference point character for me to check whether it worked? Characters do seem to be different height, but I'm not sure if they were also that height on vanilla...
I must be doing something wrong because I can't get this mod to work. I installed this mod, Synthesis and all of its requirements, I ran the patcher and got into the game, everything was fine, no black faces/purple faces, my NPCs looks the same as before. Except that it's exactly what my problem is, the heights of my NPCs were unchanged (still the same as vanilla heights). I'm quite sure that I got my .esp load order correct in MO2:
Heights_of _Skyrim.esp (NPC Overhuals) ... Synthesis.esp (Bottom of my load order)
The only thing I noticed is that the Synthesis.esp didn't have the HoS.esp as its master, maybe that's what the problem is? I am installing the mod mid-playthough if that helps.
Unfortunately not, I ended up choosing the easy(stupid) way of using this mod, which is, go in SSEEdit, find the .esp for the NPC replacer, then copy and paste the height values of this mod to the NPC replacer .esp one by one. It's tedious, but at least it works.
I wanted to let you know that this mod works great with Racial Body Morphs Redux. I love that with both that mod and this one all the races are unique but so is each NPC. Thank you so much!
Correct me if I am wrong, but from looking at SkyPatcher's documentation you cannot use SkyPatcher to directly edit an npc's height. At least, I don't see any operation to modify height when using filterByNpcs. You can change the height of races with heightMale and heightFemale but that will change it for the races across the board.
i was starting the companions quest at like level 30 playing as a huge nord but i felt weird that i was so much taller than vilkas. stumbled upon this mod and now i'm annoyed that i didn't have it for the first half of my playthrough. adds so much immersion to the world
