Skyrim CK Experimenting, Post Your CK Fun Here: Options

[mALX]

*

The CK was not in existence the last time I played Skyrim, so this is my very first attempt at doing anything in the CK. It is a little clunky for me - not used to the havoc being so...active. Having trouble finding my way around the lists - new items on there I have NO idea what they are!

So anyway, here is my first attempt at modding in Skyrim, why not post yours here too? (or any of the construction sets).

Even the mistakes can be fun, I remember in Oblivion having my ONE (essential) Todd Howard multiply to 12, and they were wreaking havoc and couldn't be stopped.

Another was making the Unicorn follow the Player if they were carrying apples - and the Unicorn began following Maxical into houses, buildings - castles. The castle guards in Skingrad did not take kindly to a Daedric beast popping in on them (and Maxical was trying to sneak in for the TG quest).

Then there was the Weynon Village fiasco, when (also essential) Scrappy the Banty Rooster went nuts and started killing all the other barnyard animals - and then killed ME!


Anyway, here is my first Skyrim attempt. So far the havoc is killing me in this mod:


This is a tavern - my favorite thing to make:

Here is the grounds and stable area - the garden was added after these were taken, it sits on top of the stables:

The Stables – water in the trough, and I didn’t have to make it! Lol.

Everything in this mod is vanilla, I used only basic meshes through the whole mod, actually. I just had to really dig to find stuff to make the place the way I like it.

Oh. My. Goodness. L_NAVCUT (I’m guessing in the Primitives tab, I’m going to look right now) is fantastic news!! I’ve been wondering if there was a better way to deal with this, and I even tried placing collision boxes in my practice mod exterior, but the NPCs kept walking into the cart because I didn’t have the L_NAVCUT layer!! Woo!! You have made my entire week, ghastley, and it’s been a pretty good one.

I am restraining myself with great effort from launching a thousand questions that I should investigate myself, but I have to ask… does this magic or something similar work in exteriors, too?!

This is definitely not a “build-it-yourself” thing, since I am a complete beginner and just tackling one new thing at a time. The library furnishings pop into the void when the interior gets built, so they will be in the way unless the player builds the correct wing (armory) and does not furnish it with the workbench. I took a trip through the wall in a test game and checked out all of the floating stuff. Of course the exterior stuff for the porch should still be built with the workbench. I’m afraid to touch any of that. So yes, I can just do a long one for the wall of shelves. Yay!! I have a daily blinding headache from working on this mod with all of the clutter moving around on the screen.


Somewhat related, I had convinced myself that somehow I had glitched all bookshelves by building some since in Breezehome all of the books are askew on the low shelf when Lil enters. Then I saw Ulfe fall from the loft and land all over it, creating a huge mess. So I guess since I made Ulfe it’s still my fault. But I’m going to check the Breezehome mod I’m using in case he did something to that bookshelf. I didn’t think that was supposed to happen with all of the collision boxes on the shelves. Also I’m making a dog bed for Ulfe outside!!
