well, my skyrim completely and totally blew up on itself after I tried installing a couple 2k texture mods, so I have to do a clean install to the damn thing. Time to wait a couple hours then. actually, this is a golden opportunity. What's the difference between NMM and this MO you people go on about? is one better than the other?

What's MO I use Wrye Bash and BOSS

So guys, I bring my very basic mods to you. [quote][b]Clone Companion[/b] Using this mod will create a clone of your current character (same sex only). You can use him/her as a follower and/or a marriageable character. I recommend you to download a follower manager such as [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15524]AFT[/url] or [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14037]UFO[/url]. [I]Follower option steps[/I] 1. Download my mod here [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/CloneCompanion.zip]Clone Companion[/url] and drop everything on the Data folder. 2. Activate via Skyrim Official Launcher, NMM or MO. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/loadorder0.PNG[/img] 3. Go ingame, activate the console and type [b]bat atme[/b] then select the character and type [b]bat f[/b]. Example: [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/image1.png[/t] 4. Recruit your clone [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/image2.png[/t]. [I]Marriage option steps[/I] Attention, before you this, you'll need to download the following mod: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11579]Marriage Mod - To Have & To Hold[/url] [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=153407826]Hearthfire DLC Compability here[/url] 5. Close the game and modify your load order FROM this: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/loadorder1.PNG[/img] TO this: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/loadorder2.PNG[/img] 6. Open the game again and try summon another follower [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/image3.png[/t] If no dialogue appears, it means it's all good, if it does, close the game invert the positions on the load order, start the game again, close it and try this step. 7. Do the actual steps to marry your follower. [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/image4.png[/t] [I]Pros[/I]: - Your clone character will have almost everything you have (no inventory at start though), including the factions you joined and shouts. Better, s/he can use it against other enemies. - Works with all races, no voice though. - Your clone is essential (so are you [must reload game manually when you die]). - You can create more than one clone to use. Manage more clones with AFT or UFO. [i]Known issues[/i]: - Follower AI - Must use the console (I won't do a more lore-friendly version because this is pretty much a cheat) - Same sex only (CTD when it isn't) - It will literally copy your appearance, use snpcw XXX to reload the character if stuck in werewolf or vampire lord forms. - Not advisable to turn ANY clones into vampires or werewolves, glitches and such will happen, and at worst (or best) CTD. - [b]You MUST start a new game to get this working properly, somehow the game saves the variables in the save file as read-only (such as Player.IsUnique), so it won't work on older saves.[/b][/quote] [quote] This is my main character that I created as a follower. Her name is Ann. Requirements: Apachii Sky Hairs [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10168/[/url] Brows [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30411/[/url] How to: 1. Drop the files on the Data folder. 2. Activate via Skyrim Official Launcher, NMM or MO. 3. Ingame, type in the console: placeatme xx000d62 or player.placeleveledactoratme xx000d62 She looks like this: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/image5.png[/t] Link to Download: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7211550/Files/ModForTESV/Ann_Follower.zip[/url] Console-less version coming soon™[/quote]

That's very cool! Question: does changing your characters appearance via ShowRaceMenu change the companion as well?

I wish you could make Nords darker, I like their bonus power more than Redguards.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43386020]I wish you could make Nords darker, I like their bonus power more than Redguards.[/QUOTE] Use RaceMenu. You can alter the color of pretty much everything apart from eyes and scars.

Godamnit Apocrypha, you're always doing weird shit to me. First it was a looping sounds of paper swirling, and now its this [T]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/666830221638583962/EB18E051301F7AE9ED4A8479CB496ABC9E1AFF3F/[/T] Every male character in the game has lost their hair. Including me.

Anyone have any good tutorials for making trees, weapons, armour, clutter, as well as creating animations for them as well? (Eg. I was looking at making a rake which farmers can use, but I do not know what I will need to export my models, nor a appropriate polycount for them. As well as how to export the animations to allow them to use the rake) I've found some alright armour modelling tutorials but that is about it.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43386342]360 user.[/QUOTE] Shit out of luck then.

So after playing the Julan follower mod for Morrowind for a while I'm starting to warm up to the idea of companions in Skyrim. Which should I try first: [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26393/?"]Vilja[/URL], [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960/?"]Inigo[/URL], or [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25968/?"]Odvar[/URL]?

Any way of solving the insanely loud sound effects issue in morrowind ? Whenever I enter pretty much anything, some sound effects become instantly louder than the rest of the game. Entering St Olms in Vivec pretty much blew up my headphones with the sounds of a dozen fountains at 500% volume activating all at the same time. Torches are also loud as fuck.

I seem to have an issue regarding the fact that Skyrim crashes when I load a save. How exactly would I post my load order for you people to figure out what I did wrong?

[QUOTE=Shadower1337;43386864]I seem to have an issue regarding the fact that Skyrim crashes when I load a save. How exactly would I post my load order for you people to figure out what I did wrong?[/QUOTE] What's the last thing you did to mod Skyrim? Undo that and see if it works. If that doesn't work, repeat the process until you can't remember the modifications you've done to Skyrim If that happens, look at the crash logs in IIRC the Skyrim Folder.

I love Mod Organizer, it's great to see exactly what data files are overwritten by other mods, and if there's a conflict I don't like I can just drag and drop in order to change the order of installation, rather than having to actually reinstall the mods in that order. Not having any mods in the data folder is great, keeps everything very organized and sanitary. After having to deal with NMM's horseshit for a long time, it's a great change.

Is there anyway to optimize Skyrim anymore than the lowest settings? It's the only game that makes my laptop overheat.

[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52116717/Screenshots%20and%20Images/skyrim/missingtextures.png[/t] For some reason the Companions' weapons and shields are missing textures. Is there a way to tell which meshes those are so I can fix it?

I married Farkas and he became a massive pansy I feel so bad

Finally got around to playing Dragonborn. I'm so happy with what they did with Apocrypha and Hermaeus Mora. I always pictured Apocrypha as just a giant endless building filled with books, but it being the way it is was a great surprise. I hope the next main game continues this trend of showing another Daedric realm. ESO with Coldharbour doesn't count.

A game with that would be unsellable in several different ways.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43388050]I hope they never, ever show a real Coldharbour. A game with that would be unsellable in several different ways.[/QUOTE] They could always retcon ESO's Coldharbour. Maybe it's only half of the real realm, and it's split down the middle like the Shivering Isles. The real Coldharbour can be the side with the fiery skies, sludgy ground, and corrupt White Gold Tower. ESO's Coldharbour can just be the side where they store all the extra bones they don't need.

[QUOTE=redBadger;43385914]That's very cool! Question: does changing your characters appearance via ShowRaceMenu change the companion as well?[/QUOTE] Late reply, but yes, you only need to reload the character using setnpcweight (or snpcw). It also works with RaceMenu custom chargen morphs, you need to reload the character as well.
