[QUOTE=_charon;47032737]I once got bored and decided to see how far the animu mod rabbit hole goes.

You really don't even need cbbe unless you want females to have bigger tits or something.[/QUOTE]

CBBE with vanilla shape and slim options has little to no difference from the vanilla body in terms of proportions and shape.

I've been playing with these four mods you listen basically forever and I wanted to change around without going down to stupid extents.

Also the problem with XCE's ultra high definition skin is that it makes people's faces quite inconsistent with every other texture in the game unless you download hd textures for everything and even then you're going to have to rely on several creators who have different methods and standards. It actually breaks the immersion more to have a high poly face slapped on a low poly armor than just having both be low poly.

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;47035463]need that mod list[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately, the guy who made that got mad that people were stealing his stuff and deleted most of it. Bits and pieces are scattered around the internet[sp]i found one really cool one that i have no wish to actually use which is basically a spell that makes a dwemer cannon construct itself then fire a giant laser; think a link was in a thread on loverslab[/sp], but for the most part all this stuff is mercifully obliterated.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47034694]Ok the thing is when I use that, the bones are messed up

like seriously i need nifscape to work because bodyslider is fucking trash, i want to edit other nif files too like shields and swords and if I can't get that to work then there is a problem

[editline]29th January 2015[/editline]

w/e i give up it's just argonians and could just get model replacers for the weapons[/QUOTE]

Try saving the Bodyslide modifications to a new file and copy the modified mesh to the original.

You can copy the whole NiTriShape as well but you don't have to if the mesh shares the same vertices.

The only other alternative is to either edit the mesh in a supported 3D modelling program (And hope it exports correctly, mine doesn't anymore for whatever reason) or mess with the scale of the skeleton's bones (NOT the tail mesh itself or the bones within that file, but the skeleton). Editing the skeleton will affect ALL Argonians as well as Khajit unless you're making a new race, then you can set that race to use a modified skeleton instead of the default skeleton.
Skyrim's animations command the position and rotation of bones but not their scale, you could even do the whole Goldeneye Big Head Mode if you wanted to.

Yes, editing models and shit in Skyrim is tedious and annoying. Trying to mess with animations is even worse though.

Sorry I gave up, there's not many argonians in skyrim anyways

I'm using this but I don't think it's big enough

[Ferioth]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47036181]I'm using this but I don't think it's big enough[/QUOTE]

You could use RaceMenu to resize bones but since you want that for NPCs it'll be pretty useless for you.

I think there's a thing that easily lets you modify .nif files called Outfit Studio, except it's built mainly for waifu simulators. You might still be able to tweak it for what you want to do if you ignore the presets though.

also, i've decided to get back into skyrim, but with heavy modding, gonna use one of them alternate start mods that skips dragonborn completely.

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;47032822]Joking aside, I'm really hoping for fabric physics in the next tes.
It's a really nice addition to a game when cloaks, capes and robes actually flow, it adds a level of immesion that's really hard to replicate.
I really like stuff like what they have done for the hair, capes and skirts so far, I want them to carry on.[/QUOTE]

I saw the hair physics in one of the witcher 3 trailers and now I want it in every game

[goldenbuttocks]

does anyone know why fnis doesn't detect any animation mods i install?

[27X]

Your fnis path or your mods are wrong, or FNIS doesn't have admin rights. Simple as that.

What's the best magic mod? Adds more spells and makes them more useful and balances out the magic of NPCs? I know you guys mentioned Midas Magic before but I'm not entirely sure.

Midas Magic is pretty good, I would recommenced it. Its unofficial sequel, Midas Magic Evolved, isn't as good as Midas Magic as some of the spells are completely ridiculous. Apocalypse Spell Package is another good one as well.

If you just want to alter how magic works, I would suggest Magic Scaling. Simply put, it scales up the power of your spells to your current level in any given spell type. For example, you have level 43 Destruction and the standard Flames spell now does 15 DPS, as opposed to 10.

If you're planning on using Destruction magic, use Magic Scaling and Destruction Damage Enchantment. The latter adds a simple enchantment that boosts your Destruction damage.

You thought the Nexus would leave Oblivion dying with dignity? Sadly [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45869/?"]no[/URL].

Then you look at the screenshots.

It's not over yet, check out the comments:
[QUOTE]... but, the fact that you FORCE the player to install the HGEC (I assume that it's the HGEC) female body is a big NO-NO. If it's to have Aliena look pretty and sexy, you could have assigned her a custom race and then use Blockhead's Body Asset Override to give her, and only her, the HGEC body shape, exactly as I did with my Abysmer race.

... and, in addition to it, there's a screencap that looks suspiciously like the Estrus mod...[/QUOTE]

I think that was the "missing model" error. If it was missing texture, you would have had a grey model.

So I looked at this HDT mod

so much potential but

but thats tentacle rape!!!!!

I really want some good looking armor for men but all HDT armor is female only

[27X]

They have HDT capes hair and belts

[DrasarSalman]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47041618]but thats tentacle rape!!!!!

That's because the only HDT mod that are made specifically for male characters is dick physics, which for obvious reasons does not need to work while using armor.
