Another day of Lux conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m down to the last conflict I see in the Lux Patch Hub mod. It’s those damn 101288A1 – WWWMrkTempleDoorL01 and 101288A2 – WWWMrkTempleDoorL01 conflicts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ra2phoenix, who maintains the Lux LOTD patches said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

this particular mesh, because they retexture it all for one of their areas, and smim\/other related mods add a shape to the brazier, which borks all of the texturesets
so they now have a copy of the vanilla one
which is the safest way to preserve textureset shenanigans
for maintaining some clefj stuff I straight up made hard texture edits to a copy of vanilla
always assume you can’t control what meshes a user has that you’re changing textures on<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m following most of this, but still unsure as to next steps, whether I should forward the path or not. More from ra2phoenix: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought it was a problem with lux messing with meshes and fixed it while working on the patch
repath: copy of vanilla with 14<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

so tldr either version will work
but you can delete it from lux if dbm-smim exists
removing it for my next update
which will happen after I do some more occlusion work in safehouse
of course said updates are only on lux discord atm cause we can’t update the patch page<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

General Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Installed latest verison of Creation Kit Platform Extended v0.5-b143 and got it working. It crashed when loading interiors until I disabled the Vanilla Meshes and Textures LOOSE FOR TESTING<\/em> mod I created. It didn’t like that. I posted on it on the CKPE Nexus page. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Installed Rally\u2019s Upper Furniture, but finding the look too flat and clean for my taste\u2014same issue with Cave Brazier mod. Just lacks depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Started comparing Shrubs Redone<\/em> with Mari\u2019s Flora<\/em>. Verdict is still out, but leaning toward Shrubs Redone for the ones I\u2019ve looked at.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Big realization today: I actually love a lot of vanilla textures<\/em>\u2014they\u2019re gritty, dynamic, and full of character.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Revisited Vanilla Remastered (Ultimate) \u2013 Clutter<\/em>, which upscales original textures. Really like the effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Redwaiscovered the full Vanilla Remastered<\/em> series (all packed in BSA), so I duplicated and unpacked them all into new mods for texture testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Realizing I don\u2019t always prefer popular retextures\u2014vanilla has its own unique feel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • This is turning into a bigger texture testing project than expected, but I\u2019m all in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Installed Mods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • High Poly Canticle Tree<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A Canticle Tree<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Conflict Resolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Lux + Lux Patch Hub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Still making my way through Lux, and have to clear many of the plugins that the Lux Patch Hub added. Not counting the mod “Lux (patch hub) – LotD updated plugin (v6.8),” which I havent’ even activated yet, the ones I still have to do are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Lux – Legacy of the Dragonborn Hall of Wonders patch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Modgrouped the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Lux – DBM_CC_GhostsoftheTribunalHOWPatch + Lux – LOTD Hall of Wonders patch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Additional Notes: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          I found something that should have been included in the Lux + USSEP Patch: An acoustic space edit to Hod and Gerdur’s House – RiverwoodGerdursHouse [CELL:000133C7]. USSEP changes it from IntRoomWoodMediumAcousticSpace<\/code> to IntRoomStoneMediumAcousticSpace<\/code> but it’s not reflected in the patch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          I let ra2phoenix know in Discord, and carried over the edit to Dii – Conflict Resolution – Cell Settings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
