Hello again,
I recetly started using Better Morrowind Armor and as I really like it, I decided it is time to add Better Morrowind Armor Add-on. After a while I noticed a little problem. BMA Addon is designed to work with BMA, but it seems it doesn't. Here is what I have found so far:
BMA addon modifies the body part record for female versions of affected cuirasses (dwemer, iron, orcish and couple more). It also modifies the armor record of the given cuirass. This should theoretically be fine, but the male body part in this armor record is set to vanilla one. And since BMA uses new body part records, not overriding the vanilla ones, once you install BMA addon, you will have nicer female cuirasses, but their male versions will be vanilla, not the BB provided with BMA.
At least I'm 99% sure this is what happens.
There are several possible solutions:
- Delete BMA Addon esp completely, using only nifs to override the ones provided with BMA to make this addon pluginless, but BMA dependant.
- Change male body part in armor record to the correct one, also making the mod BMA dependant.
- Changing the male body part record to point to the correct mesh from BMA, once again making it BMA dependant.
- Using the male meshes provided with BMA - rename them and place them in the folder where BMA Addon points to.
I personally thing that making it pluginless is the best and simpliest way to go, since I doubt anyone is using it without BMA. I thought I should share this find as these mods became popular and I haven't seen this problem mentioned anywhere.
