@Rabbitonfire - Well, that's the point of having a blog..so you limit the amount of people who actually "find" your work lol.  Being popular has its advantages and downfalls; which I why I prefer to remain in the shadows.  There is quite alot of forums out there who share mods, that you probably won't find on the nexus always.  

 

One forum I use that does upload to the nexus, is Tesadventures (they do have a bioware section as well).  That is the community that was founded by other modders, and majority of the people there are extremely helpful.  They don't always use the nexus, some have there own blogs linked from the site itself.

 

Other forums/communities have come and gone over the years.  For a long time I was part of vgunetwork otherwise known as FO3underground.  They had a very strict policy for even being able to download any mods on their site.  Like you had to be reviewed by a moderator, and based on your posts/threads and participation they would give you the ability.  

 

The way it was setup is you could become a member, but even posting like non stop it would take you at least a month to gain access to downloads (they had very strict criteria for your posts, like you couldn't just write a word or one sentence) .  It sucked, but due to the strictness of the forums the members were all very high quality/friendly people.

 

You can also find alot of modders work on deviantart.  Though, some people just post pictures of their work and link blogs from it ;p

 

@Chaos- I'm not sure what forum you are referring to, it almost sounds like LL.  If it is LL I was a part of that since it was founded, and was originally started on a thread on hongfire lol.  LL used to be alot better, but sadly went downhill since the admin/moderators changed.  They were extremely lax on how people could go about their business, but would ban anyone at the drop of a hat who was being disruptive towards the community.  Its no longer like that.

 

I'm not sure what countries all of you are from, but world wide there's a large amount of modding communities in all different countries.  Most of the largest ones I know of are:  German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and American.  I'm sure there's alot more out there I'm not aware of, which is why you have to "look around" lol.

 

@Rabbitonfire - My warning to you as a fellow modder is don't always try to please everyone.  You are doing mods as a hobby (at least the way I see it), and you are free to do with it as you see fit; just like art.  I would almost never read comments about my mods, unless it was actually a stated problem with something I needed to actually fix.  Most people who use mods, especially on the nexus are very clueless people, especially nowadays.  Most people do not read your front page, or any other instructions you may include with the mod to download.  

 

Back when i first started modding you were 'expected' as a 'user' of mods to read the readme files that came with every mod.  Otherwise, the modders would just ignore you.  Again it seemed harsh, but now a days most people just expect you to spill things out for them over and over again...1000 pages later of the same questions that were already answered.  Which is why I only used the comment page for actual "real" reported issues, and compliments.  Anything else I learned to just ignore, or report on the spot.

 

I only responded to requests that were pmed to me in a proper polite fashion.  Also, I typically saw the amount of downloads and endorsements of mods never added up.  Some modders tried to find unique ways to get people to endorse their work, such as jokes and pictures.  The reason some modders care about endorsements is it makes them proud that they've gotten praise for the hard work they've done.  On the other hand, I've seen mods that have been downloaded 20k times, but the poor guy only got like 500 endorsements.  I realize that alot of people redownload previous mods they liked again...but still sometimes it really doesn't add up.

 

@Adela - Sorry for being so slow to catch up m'lady.  The robe you've been working on looks exquisite!  I really like the detail that showed up in the render; like the cloth ruffles/folds on the sides.  It may not be as you intended it to turn out..but lol that's how modding works sometimes.  I've done alot of work that accidentally came out better than I previously even planned.  Such is the way of art ^^

^^ This, for sure.  I haven't modded much in the past, other than for my own personal enjoyment.. mostly textures, some hair porting, etc. I did one time upload some war paints I had done to the Skyrim Nexus. While the majority of the comments and feedback were positive, you always get the negatives, or people whining that A.) The mod doesn't work for them, therefore it is your fault as the creator, and your priority should be to help them. B.) They neglected to read your Description page, and then flame you because it doesn't work with so&so's mod, even though you clearly stated that it would not. Of course, those are not the only complaints you will get, but that is summarized.

 

You can't please everyone, and you won't, so as Silvist suggested, don't even try. You mod for your enjoyment, right?Lucky for us, you were generous enough to share it with the gaming community. That should be enough. Unfortunately for some, it's not, and you will get the haters, or the negative comments, etc.

 

   As far as where to find the blogs, etc...it's hit and miss, and who ya' know through the forums and online community, I think. A couple I know of simply because of past mods in past games, or the Nexus, mostly from the image posting, you get to know a few, tho that might seem odd to some.

 

Anyway, it's simple enough to google, or see their name/blog link in the tool forum, etc. (Then keep your fingers crossed that they are generous enough to release their amazing work in time.  I am sure I am not the only one that spammed Shantia's in-box asking when she would release her texture, but I am patient, and in the mean time, will try my own  B) )

I have a question for the few of you that have done replacement Vallaslin or tattoos. Was there anything special you used for placement reference on the face, or did you just have an underlay of one of the face textures? That was how I did it for other games, but wasn't sure if it was the same for this one. 

 

 

Edit:  Also, is it hf_hed_bas_d or hf_hed_inq_d for the face texture (makeup/brows/etc) edits?

To the people who said that my Pajamas would look good with a skirt: I absolutely agree, I really don't like pants at all (I don't even have any pants myself) so to me have my character using dresses and skirts would be the ideal!

 

For now tho I will have to deal with pants and male looking outfits until we get mesh working in game, then she shall have some really cool outfits!

 

I'd also like to thank you guys for the support and apologize if I'm skeptical about uploading my work, I'm well aware that what I do is not for the greater public taste, therefore the ones who really like what I do usually have a similar view as myself, but is heart warming to be able to share with such a nice group of people in this thread!

I made one tattoo jsut to try, I just put a face texture under to see where to place.

 

As for the face texture I use hf_hed_inq, because hf_hed_bas also alters the male 1st complexion.

And for the last complexion of the females it is the dwarf female texture.

I am not sure that it is stricted to English version, but it seems that it always doesn't work for people with other languages (at this time, from what I've read). I am not 100% sure, have you tried with any existing mod to see if it works for you?

You can't share mods between different languages. But if you create your own mod, it will work with your language.

I wish, i'd brought english version back then ._.

 

 

I've tryed a simple editing of .ebx and DAIModdingTools crashed when i imported it back. My version of game is russian.

Not sure about other people mods, haven't tryed.

 

 

Same, russian ver. too, did some retexturing before, for my own game, worked fine. Other people mods don't work.

I am pretty sure I used the hm_hed_inq_d when I worked on my male texture, but I could be wrong. It is the 3rd complexion in the cc.

Finally! I am now putting up my female complexion for download. It works on the human, elf and dwarf faces. Qunari is coming too :) Use the mod manager to merge with your other mods. This replaces the 3rd complexion in the cc, not sure what happens if you use 2 mods that replaces that. I hope you will like it, I haven't experienced any blackfaces with this one so hopefully it is fixed. And if you do use the mod I'd love to see your inquisitor, just pm me the pic, if you want to :)
