📋 About This Mod

I wrote a script to alter the WICO - Immersive People plugin to better fit to MY liking. Personally, I think mods should only touch what they need to and stay in the scope of the goal. This probably steams from my desire of an automated patcher and knowing some of the "complications".

Version 2. 0 of the script is better written but it still isn't a good example. I have some interesting "use" stuff when it comes to certain things. I handle a majority of potential issues inside the script so no more need to be super careful, but I can't cure stupid. I have not commented my code, if you are curious of some aspect of it, I'll attempt to answer it. The scope of this script is now slightly larger, if you have a mod that alters NPCs and you want to keep their look, but forward all the needed edits from other mods like USSEP, CRF and so on then this script is for you. All my options are defaulted to handle WICO but it should apply in most circumstances.

Side note: Why do authors take their files down where no one can get them? I never understood this, if I don't want to support something, I wont lurk on it and leave it abandoned. If you ever want something I made, ask for it, I have no issues with it being out there, granted if I still have it.

Instructions on use:   Its a script... 

  • []Copy file(s) into the "Edit Scripts" folder that is next to xEdit.exe []Load up xEdit with the mod that you want to alter at the end <- Important []Find and run the script, its "Hishy_" something []Select the options you want to overwrite in the selected mod []BSA cleaning is not yet implemented! []Optionally sort masters, I think this is pointless as the plugin doesnt care about your load order at all
  • Profit?
  Please only load the files you want to inherit changes from.

For WICO users:     Do NOT use USSEP patch or BSA. <- Important

When I was design and testing this script I used only USSEP and WICO. You can probably load   just WICO, but people should use USSEP. You can have other mods before WICO if you want to   inherit their changes, this would be useful for NPC Protect Redux or CRF as it keeps the    alterations made by WICO but inherits the much needed changes. Keep in mind when doing   that, you need to have any of the mods before this conflict resolved because I just take the   entire previous field as a whole and stick it in WICO.

How do I use xEdit?:   Do the googles.

How do I script in xEdit?:   I can help you with the more advanced stuff but as a pure beginner, look at the wiki and   example scripts
