Been a while since I've posted some music in here. I listen to a lot more singers now than before. Love these songs. Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out Emeli Sandé - My Kind of Love [media=]

Hiya TESA! So I've been run off my feet with schoolwork, spending my free time figuring out the changes between making races in Oblivion's CS and making races in Skyrim's CK, and I've got the hang of it now. Although I have absolutely no idea how any of Skyrim's races have different shaped heads when they are all linked to the exact same mesh. I'm near completion of my first mod for Skyrim, an elven race, although 1) I don't know how to give it an elven head and 2) The vanilla elven heads don't look too nice so I don't actually want to use them. So I would like to use the human head with elven ears, only problem is that now heads and ears are all part of the same mesh, unlike in Oblivion where they were seperate. So my request is that someone would please edit the human male and female headmeshes (Male: meshes\actors\character\character assets\malehead.nif) (Female: meshes\actors\character\character assets\femalehead.nif) so that the ears look elven. The only specifics in what the ears should look like is that I'l like the ears to have a slight distinctive curve. It'd be great if someone can help me. All of my craftwork projects are being handed up within the next week, so I'll be back and properly active again soon. Thanks everyone!

Feel free DR, if there's anything you'd like to use you're very welcome to.

LOL This joke is good.

Look at this photo very carefully, don't stop looking until you've found something. If you find it, don't say anything about where it is! So, so creepy.

"Nina, stop." Haunt told her firmly, as she turned to meet his gaze. "What? Why?! If we don't get this sorted now those bags of bones wi-" Nina began to snap in a confused panic. "Nina, trust me, you just watch my back with Red and Grond, and whatever you do, do not let the Draugr get near me." Haunt consoled her. "I.....allright. You better know what you're doing!" Nina shouted as she ran to Red and Grond's side. As she did so, she heard a sound like nothing she had ever heard before, she turned to see Haunt frozen in a light. "What in Oblivion is he doing?!" Nina panicked at the sight of him. "If it gets us through that door, I don't care!" Grond replied as he swung his hammer into the decaying ribcage of a Draugr, shattering it's bones, then taunting the others approached from the dark corridors that were still only a few moments before. "Nina, behind you!" Red called, a Draugr creeping up on the Nord. "Damn bonewalkers!" Nina screamed as she drew her dagger and thrust it into her undead foe. "I think we have a bit of a problem....." Muttered Red. "A bit of a problem? What do you mean you think we have a bit of a problem?! More than the one we have?!" Nina's eyes widened as she asked the red haired bard. "Look....." Red gestured to the Draugr Grond had knocked down, it's bones pulling back together. "Oh, don't tell me.....they're just going to get back up again and again....." Nina groaned, the fear had taken it's toll and she had gone emotionally numb. Red nodded, as Nina suddenly screached as the Draugr she had just decimated grabbed onto her ankles. "Get off of me!" Nina screamed as she began to shake the creature off and kick it in it's head. "Heh, makes no difference to me, besides more bone crushin'!" Grond shrugged as he once again smashed his hammer into the reanimating Draugr's bones. The majority of the Draugr now entering the room. "Looks like we're in for some fun....." Red chimed as she drew her sword with her crooked smirk. "Fun? This is killin' me!" Nina mumbled as she reluctantly prepared herself for the horde of relentless undead approaching. There was a flash of light and a rumble as suddenly Haunt began to glow brighter. "Haunt said not to let these creeps get to him!" Nina half shouted, half groaned. "Best not let them, then....." Red signalled to Grond, who then charged into the undead, Grond flinging his hammer to and fro from the walking remains of ancient warriors. Red flanked them, cutting off arms and severing bones. Nina used her bow, sniping them as best she could, the arrows, though not as effective as against the undead as a blade, allowed her to keep her distance. Grond tried crushing their bones into dust as much as he could, making it as hard as possible for the Draugr to recover, while Red found herself surround by a group of them. "I wonder if they have any brains left." Red wondered to herself, as she taunted two different Draugr opposite eachother. They both attempted to take a swing at her, as she rolled out of the way and they slashed into eachother, losing both of their sword arms. "That answers that question." She laughed to herself. Nina realised keeping her distance wasn't helping her at all, as a Draugr Overlord picked her out as an easy target. "Damnit....." Nina sighed as she drew her sword again. "OK Nina, time to overcome your fear.....just beat the damn thing back into it's own grave." She whispered to herself, taking a swing towards it's arm, the Draugr dodging it and retaliating with it's own swing towards her neck, which she just about outmanuevered. Nina then returned the favour by attempting a thrust towards the Draugr's own neck, failing when it grabbed her wrist, twisting it so she would have to kneel down before it. "Allright, I don't think I'll be over this fear anytime soon....." Nina whispered panickingly to herself, closing her eyes waiting for the end. "I'm sorry....." She sighed. She was startled to the sound of bone breaking and opened her eyes to Grond standing above the now crushed Draugr, it's hand still holding firmly to her wrist, she began to pry it's fingers off from around her skin. "Sorry for what now?" Grond reached his hand down to her with a smile, helping her to stand back up. Nina smiled back at him. "For a minute there I thought it was over." She told him. "Not on my watch, my dear." He said with a wink. "I could do with a bit of help here, you know!" Red called, holding back the Draugr to the best of her ability. "On the way dear!" Grond charged forward, and then stopped when light flashed from Haunt for a final time, dispering with a rumble from around him as he rushed forward to the puzzle, his hands moving the pieces with a flurry of clicks following his movements, all of the pieces fitting in perfectly with eachother in order and finally stopping. The image of the puzzle formed into a door, the frame of it a scarab. "Nina! Quickly! The scarab key!" Haunt called to her. In a heartbeat Nina threw the key to him. He caught it and hurriedly unlocked the door and opened it. "Through the door everyone!" He shouted, Nina ran through like there was no tomorrow, Grond arriving at the door second, waited for Red. "Ladies first, just mind the spiders." The Nord gestured to the bard. She laughed "Oh you're in for it now, my greyhound!" as she darted through, Grond following her with a chuckle. Haunt conjured up an orb of flame in his hands, and sent it hurtling into the horde of undead, setting them aflame when it exploded, before walking through the door and sealing it shut behind him.

For bird races, there's none that I know of. There is two deer races though. This one looks more like the vanilla deer, it's called "The Hircine." You can find it here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=31664 The other one I can't link too because it has some images which aren't TESA friendly, but you can find it by searching for the "Chuhrai Race" on Nexus. It's a dear looking race with intricate silver horns that is meant to be a winter spirit. Here's an image of them: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/31465-4-1272820747.jpg I hope I helped. Oh, and I see you're new to TESA. Welcome!

Welcome to the Alliance, Narmix! That head mesh is fantastic for a 1st organic model. I haven't even looked into making meshes yet, but I can tell that must have been difficult, and there you did it in 20 minutes for the 1st time. Salutes to you sir. I wish you the best of luck, and here's another cookie, eat them all before the bandits come!

Welcome to the Alliance SonixBlade! Scripting is one of the hardest areas of modding, I wish you luck with it, and I'm sure you'll do fine.

Lol, look at me avy and title. If I were to give you a fishystick, I'd be in real trouble. Your welcome, I hope you have fun.

Welcome to the Alliance, KnightKilo! You'll learn modding skills easily here, the Enclave has everything you need to learn how to mod. For new weapon mods there's plenty of people here that can give you help if you need it, lots of meshers and texturers. As for new races, that's my favoured area of modding. So if you ever need help with that, give me a shout. Here, have a cookie, eat it quick, before the bandits come!

Oh, poor Morrigan. To think someone spent hours making the animations/cutscenes just to be able to slap her, now that's dedicated hate.

I'm hoping and thinking mods will take the quests/landmasses route, they're the mods that make the games bigger than they are and that keep them alive. There'll always be companions, house mods, races, weapons and armour being made, but how many of them do you need? There is plenty of variety of each in Oblivion, a lot more in comparison to quests/landmasses. For Oblivion the majority-minority was, pretty much in order: 1) Weapons/Armour. 2) House mods. 3) Races. 4) Companions. & 5) Quests/Landmasses. I'm hoping for Skyrim that quests and landmasses will be made more as they're the mods that really keep it going. While it is impossible that quests/landasses will ever reach the top of the majority, simply because of the shrill willpower modders need to have to get them finished, due to their size. So I'm at a loss at that end really, because the best thing that could be done is the hardest thing to do. So to that end, I hope that more meshes, textures, both redone and new, are made in abundance to give modders a more broad selection of new material to use in their mods. I can see a few quest mods that could be made just off of the vanilla game's content. (And I'm sure someone will make them.) 1) Rebuilding Helgen. (Village that gets burned down at the start, would actually be a quick mod seeing how Beth most likely did a quick enable rubble/disable houses, just have to reverse the process, with a quest tied in of course for immersion.) 2) Restoring Winterhold. (Apparently the city collapsed into the ocean, leaving 3 buildings and the college, not much of a city so I can see someone making a mod to make it one, via "restoring" what was lost. Like Kvatch Rebuilt.) 3) Dark Brotherhood Expansion. (As you said, too short. There is plenty of room here for expansion. Looks like a new Dark Brotherhood Chronicles is coming our way.) As for the other factions, haven't played them, so I can't comment. The main quest though, I'd say can't safely have an expansion of any kind, reason being..... Don't read if you haven't completed the main quest: Myself, I always love the Daedra. Oblivion had you visit Mehrunes Dagon's Deadlands and Sheogorath's Shivering Isles, but that's not enough, I want to see more. So myself I am making an expansion of a Daedric realm. Which gives me a lot of freedom from everything that's in Skyrim, I can be completely original. After that, I'll make other, smaller quest mods, races, companions and hopefully weapons and armour. So I'm planning to do anything I can. Thank you for posting this, it is good to discuss where we think the modding community is going to go with Skyrim.
