Update on the WIP + poll result
Added 2022-11-05 08:00:03 +0000 UTCI just wanted to pop in with an update on the AIO merge of my big overhauls, as well as the result of the gold tier+ poll about the next small replacer.
The big AIO
So about the AIO... in theory it would take a day or two to make, with thorough testing, mod page creation and all that. When I sat down earlier this week to start the process, I remembered why I have given up on the project multiple times in the past - my dawnguard overhaul is a bitch and makes this a little more difficult than a regular merge.
There is nothing technically wrong with it, but due to how bethesda set things up, other vampire related mods are likely to conflict and cause issues with it. Another really nice modder (nerdofprey) was kind enough to send me a fix to these issues, the grey face bug fix file. However, while it works for some users it doesn't for others, and some users only have problems with the fix, but not without.
I don't want these kinds of issues with the merge and I want to solve this before releasing it, which means the merge might not be ready this week as I promised in the previous post. I have spent a few days researching, comparing files and all that fun stuff and while I still don't quite get it, I think I'm close to understanding it. Once I do, I should be able to fix it and eliminate the need for the grey face fix altogether.
The poll results
I have two small replacers that are about halfway done (visually anyway) and I asked the gold and diamond patrons which one of the two I should finish first. They have chosen the dawnguard characters Ingjard & Beleval, which will likely be the next mod I release after the big AIO merge. The other mod, containing the bards Lisette & Luaffyn, will probably be released after Males part 3.
