Skyrim Vanilla Data Folder Download Free

Page 2 of 2 - COuld someone upload their vanilla, default animations.bsa? - posted in Skyrim Mod Talk: I had similiar problem with animation files. But in my case I installed female animation pack which caused some errors. And also I forgot to backup vanilla files and wasnt able to restore vanilla animation.Game cache verifing isnt an option, It will cause much more errors with files I. Or SSEEdit on Skyrim SE Nexus Due to this guide being dual purpose ( For Skyrim and Skyrim SE ) for the rest of this guide I will refer to both tools as xEdit. Screenshots of tools used may be one or the other, or older versions, which does not matter, the images are only to illustrate the method / options used. Why Clean the Master Files? Skyrim Restore is a Windows executable that temporarily moves vanilla files from the Skyrim/SE folder, moves any non-vanilla files and configs to a 'Skyrimbackup' folder then restores the vanilla files and writes new copies of the default inis. If you have no vanilla backup just delete all the non.bsa files and directories from Skyrim/data and then run verify integrity from Steam. This will download any corrupt or missing files and reinstall them for you although there is no guarantee that you removed all the offending files. Savegame compatibility.

1. The best way of course is to use your zip file that you made of the Skyrim Directory as you followed the Skyrim Installation Guide, just delete the whole directory and unpack the zip. This is the only method to restore a previous version of Skyrim.
2. If you don't have a vanilla zip, its relatively simple but takes a minute depending on your internet speed, first click enable in Skyrim Unplugged if you are using it.

   For a quicker although rougher guide, seeReverting Skyrim to a Pristine (Vanilla) Installation

3. Deactivate all mods using your choice of mod manager and/or the Skyrim launcher
4. Navigate to ...Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim.
   • Delete all folders except:

     Data

     DirectX10

     DotNetFX

     reslists

     Skyrim

     VCRedist

   • Delete all loose files except:

     atimgpud.dll

     binkw32.dll

     steam_api.dll

     SkyrimLauncher.exe

     TESV.exe

     high.ini

     medium.ini

     low.ini

     Skyrim_default.ini

     VeryHigh.ini

     readme.txt

     installscript.vdf

5. Inside Skyrim/Data:
   • Delete all folders except Interface, Strings, and Video.
   • Delete all loose files except:

     HighResTexturePack01.bsa

     HighResTexturePack02.bsa

     Skyrim - Animations.bsa

     (If you're missing any files, don't worry, they'll be recovered by step 10)

6. Inside Data/Interface delete everything except: 'TRANSLATE_<insertyourlanguage>.txt'
7. Inside Data/Strings delete everything except:

   Skyrim_<insertyourlanguage>.DLSTRINGS

   Update_<insertyourlanguage>.DLSTRINGS

   Skyrim_<insertyourlanguage>.ILSTRINGS

   Update_<insertyourlanguage>.ILSTRINGS

   Skyrim_<insertyourlanguage>.STRINGS

   Update_<insertyourlanguage>.STRINGS

8. Inside Data/Video delete everything except: 'BGS_Logo.bik'
9. The remaining folders in the root Skyrim directory should contain the following number of files (including hidden ones):

   DirectX10: 146 files

   DotNetFX: 1 file

   reslists: 2 files

   Skyrim: 1 file

   VCRedist: 1 file

10. In Steam, navigate to the Workshop and unsubscribe from every mod.
11. Navigate to My Documents/My Games/Skyrim and delete all files and subdirectories (after making backups of course).
12. In Steam, click 'Verify integrity of game cache...' under the Local Files tab in Skyrim's Properties window. This will do a CRC check on every file in the Skyrim directory and download any files that are corrupted or missing. This process may take some time depending on internet speed.
13. Launch Skyrim from Steam, thereby creating new INI files. Set your preferred settings in the game launcher.
14. Make a full archive/backup of your newly-pristine Skyrim directory so this guide isn't needed in the future.
15. If there are any saves you wish to revert to a vanilla status see the Clean Save Procedure in the Troubleshooting guide.

Optional: this procedure ensures that you have a stable Vanilla installation.

Skyrim Data Folder Steam

1. Start a new game
2. Skip through the tutorial level, up to leaving the cave, by ignoring combat or using God Mode (enter 'tgm' in the console).

   (This is just a test, so don't bother setting up your character.)

3. Once you've completed the tutorial (when Ralof/Hadvar tells you to head to Riverwood), enter the following in the console:
   • 'tmm 1' - Unlocks all map locations
   • 'psb' - Unlocks all spells and shouts
   • 'player.modav dragonsouls 100' - Gives 100 Dragon Souls
4. Activate all your shouts.
5. Fast travel to any location you'd like (preferably main cities) and try out various spells and shouts. Basically, give the game a little stress test by wreaking havoc to make sure everything's solid.

    View File Kreis’ Thong with Bodybuilder Body
    I just a bit tweaked Kreis’ Mage Thong by kreiste to match my Bodybuilder’s bulging butt because I guessed this thong was suitable for the body so much. And I also added a small tweak to make this front bulge in the thong be compatible with SAM genitals’ scaling as I couldn’t resist this textures’ fascinate.
    This mod has 3 light armors as below.
    1) Kreis Thong with BB Body: Normal size of front bulge with incompatible with SAM genitals’ scaling
    2) Kreis Thong with BB Body Large: Scalable front bulge with compatible with SAM genitals’ scaling
    3) Bodybuilder Naked Armor: Naked body without Kreis Thong and be identical with what I have already uploaded as Bodybuilder Naked Armor on other download thread
    This mod is only for SAM original LE, and SE version still has some issues so now this version’s uploading is pending so far. My next step is to make this thong meshes subdivide to match its convexoconcave with these nice textures more.
    Thanks for kreiste and KouLeifoh for your nice mods and kind supports.

    View File SAM Vagina
    Been a long time comin' huh?
    An equippable SAM body with an HDT enabled vagina.
    The body mesh is based on the High Poly SAM Body by @KouLeifoh, vagina from UUNP Special, mesh expertise by @Ulfberth.
    Works with both regular SAM and SAM Light (my personal pick).
    Obtain item through console or AddItemMenu.
    Requirements:
    SAM or SAM Light + HDT BBB (highly recommend the High Poly edition to eliminate seams)
    HDT Physics Extension (LE)/HDT Skinned Mesh Physics (SE)
    UUNP Special Physics XMLs from here (for LE only)
    XPMSE/XPMSSE
    This mod overrides the male skeleton nif with an edited version of XPMSE that adds vagina bones (I will try to keep it updated to the latest version).
    On LE it overrides the male hands meshes as well, to account for collision (hand mesh from High Poly SAM).
    It is not affected by SAM's body hair system as the mesh uses its own separate texture paths.
    Enjoy!

    I know that normally full armors aren't really needed to convert to sam (if not using samuel or samson values) since it's full armor it doesnt matter. But my avatars are very buff guys so I was wondering if there is any full armor out there that is big/buff enough that would seem as it was for SAM with samson values? 60+?, without being SAM? I think I have already downloaded every single SAM armor available in this site so i want more.
    I don't know if that exists, literally the only one I've seen that is completely compatible is the Winter is coming cloaks, which aren't even actual armors/outfits. Thank u in advance

    View File Kreis' Skimpy Collection - Bikini Bottoms
    Adds 3 sets of not-lore-friendly tangas to the game, craft-able via the tanning rack. Ingredients are five sprigs of Tundra Cottons.
    Made this mod to de-clutter my armor mods in the future so I can get by just using one NIFs for all of my undergarments, which means this mod will be future requirement for my upcoming mods.
    Credits to @ Don & Birbinator (from Skyrim Modding Hub discord) for helping me to fix the normal map.
    Bodyslide files are provided as an optional download for those who want to play around with it and make mods based on it. No need to ask my permission, but credits would be nice.
