About this image

Here is the Thursday humor of the day. My first port. :P What do ya think? Nice, huh? LOL!!!

I'm not sure everyone that scours the site and downloads the hair mods, or any of the other mods for that matter, actually takes the time to appreciate the work that goes into some of them. I'm sure a lot of folks do, as it is evident in some of the kind comments that get left for the modder. But I do know there are plenty who just download the mods, and then some gripe that stuff doesn't work, etc. I cannot believe what goes into just porting a hairstyle from one game to another, much less some of the amazing armor we have seen ported for this game.

Anyway, I wanted to try porting hair and then eventually some armor, because there are a few styles that I love, and although I found some mods with similar styles, I wanted something unique, or what I pictured in my mind for my character to look like.

I have had a lot of help and encouragement from a very dear person I just met recently here on the Nexus ( <3 Risi ), and without her help, I would not have even gotten this far. It's a .. well, interesting... first port, to say the least.

So, back I go to try to fix the errors, but wanted to share the humorous side of my porting mistakes. Hopefully more people become aware how much work goes into some mods, and appreciate the amazing work of some of our modders here. ;)

    You are a braver wolf than I! I don't even understand the modding talk I read, so I like to think that gives me an intellectual appreciation, at least, of the hard work that modders do. My theory is if I can't even read a sentence of mod talk without getting a headache, then I should be grateful to the kind people who are good enough to share their talent with me

    But hey, I imagine this is pretty good progress (says she who knows nothing about it ). The texture and colour looks good

    I really like her face and soft skin!

    You are always welcome! <3
    That's a great result for your first try! Only once again the face sorting and some adjustments that the hair shows in the right direction and it's ready!

    Don't worry Alistair will still love you. I just spent 4 hours looking for a problem that didn't exist.
    I left a file in the override folder yesterday , so I've been reimporting, checking, recreating and wondering why the Alpha channel and Mips are wrong . So had a break deleted everything again then found the problem

      I love downloading new hair mods myself. This one's looking good so far, minus the little mistake XD Oh well, keep up the good work, I'm sure it'll all look awesome!

      Yes, a break is good. Sometimes walking away from the problem even for 5 minutes helps. I'm still having trouble with the same style. About to call it quits for the day at least before I get so frustrated I delete it all permanently!
