Did.. but only with " invisible in the water" pants... that was fixed on one of the updates. IF I remember right.. and I might not be, one of the body meshes does not play nice with Northgirl, but I thought it was a CBBE or 7base body..

But it could be an issue with the porting to SSE and the bodies that are used there. Andra also used Northgirl.. so she might have a better idea if their is a problem with SSE Northgirl.

I think I have the UNP body, but it could be CBBE I suppose...

neil, you might check that the install was done correctly - that sounds as if the mesh and tex folders might not be quite in the right places.

I don't use it very often. Mostly just bits here and there, and I've never had the invisible issues.

Oh...well, some reason i thought you had.

I use bits and pieces a lot...the belt and pants mostly. The belt is neat looking and the pants clip with very little.

Looks interesting.. I've always put the characters major traits on paper, but never in great detail.

Problem with it is, it requires a 234 MB download of libreoffice. Ain't hap'nin' any time soon. I grabbed it anyway; I'll see if I can get it to work with Excel.

I have Libre, so I downloaded it. I have to say that on first impression it could be marvelously useful... especially for a guy like me who tends to forget character traits if I wander off and play another game or something for a while.

That being said, I've a suspicion that I'll never actually use it. The reason I say that is simply that I know myself. There is a great deal of detail for the character here, but I'd likely never go look at it once I've filled it out... and because characters change over time as they grow or shrink, it wouldn't be long before the info becomes... less than accurate.

A certain type of player could find this little utility quite useful though. Since Skyrim usually only offers 3 to five dialogue responses, really you only need to know about 5 character traits to roleplay your character from the dialogue perspective.

Fallout 4 usually provides 4 reply options in dialogue: "Yes" "No" "Nice" "Sarcastic" and that probably would make this utility easier to use in FO4 than in SKkyrim.

After that character reaction to the NPCs reaction is a matter of gameplay action, so... I cant see me rechecking my character sheet in mid-dialogue, and after dialogue there is no time to do so.

All of that of course is just how I see it, and you may have an entirely different POV on it.

I downloaded it and tested it. It works just fine on Linux, so I could, if I choose, pause Skyrim on my game machine, swivel my chair around to the laptop, and load my character sheet there.

It might be helpful for juggling my multiple characters. The biggest hurdle would be all that data-entry setup. We'll see.

Cool beans..

You know I used to do multiple characters at once on 360... for some reason I don't do that as much on PC.. and you'd think I would.. that would be a great help.

I'm having daughter download libreoffice and some other big stuff. I'll see how I like it once I can really use it. It didn't work well on Excel at all.

Seriously, people - if you're doing an open source "replacement" for major software packages, how do you not provide compatibility? I use Excel because I have clients who use it - I can't be bothered to use open source stuff that doesn't work like Excel does..... and doesn't provide the same functionality cross-platform.

I seem to recall that initially, there were various issues with creating compatibility because Microsoft didn't like that idea. Seems they didn't want to compete with a better product than their own that happened to be free... Funny that, eh?

Just like "Lindows". A great little linux OS that looked and functioned very much like Windows, so Microsoft sued the piss out ot of the creator over the name.

I think it's the other way around. The Open-Source software can deal with the Excel files just fine. The problem is that Excel can't as easily deal with something made by other software.

Actually, unless things have changed since I first got Open Office some while back, it made a TOTAL mess of Excel files.

...and that's exactly the way MS wanted it. It's very hard to make two products compatible when you have no access to the source code of one of the products. As I recall though, it was actually Word that presented the biggest hurdle.

Word documents opened in a different version of Word usually woudn't display correctly, eh? Let alone documents created in entirely different program like Open Office.

That depends on what file format you use. Both programs can read and write XML files that are compatible. It's possible to transfer most spreadsheets back and forth, if you accept the need to consider compatibility.

The basic problem, as Neil pointed out, is that Microsoft actively sabotages any standards that are developed. All MS Office products default to a proprietary file type, in order to force users to buy their product.

This corporate mentality even creates havoc for users of Microsoft's own older products. There was a lot of chaos a few years back when MS had their new Word default-saving in the docx format, which was unreadable to users of older MS Word, and was incompatible with anything that would run on Mac or Linux.

In other words, they deliberately broke their own "standard" just to force people to buy the new product, knowing that most users would not know how to change the default file type.

I have word doc on my Asus...and Google doc on my Chrome book... I have to copy paste my stories into word from google cause it wont download from email. It sucks but it's one of two file types Amazon and Kindle take for their books.

Death Counter might be something useful for competitions. I know we all play the honor system, but if there ever was any kind of incident in a competition, this is something that could be revisited.
