Tutorial: How to Install and Apply AllGUD's xEdit Scripts 

I've had to regenerate the meshes a few times when making new profiles, and every time I think I know how to- and remember how to install Allgud, I find myself back here, graced by the single best Tutorial on youtube imo.

Love the mod but I gotta admit it's a bit of a pain in the ass to install for someone who's inept with a pc lol

Hey, this mod is absolutely amazing. I really appreciate that you took the time to upload this awesome tutorial as well. I was a little daunted by the installation instructions (console player for most of my life). But this guide was super helpful, and my character has never looked so badass thanks to you! Really incredible work, thank you.

Time stamps: 0:55 Create a folder to generate meshes 1:10 Run xEdit from your mod manager 1:40 Weapon Mesh Generator 3:28 Skeleton Patcher

Damn, This keeps cracking me up. Great mod and great humor. Now still need to get the mod to run, but I think I have figured it out. Found one of your post on the Nexus!

Thank you for making such a wonderful mod!! All in all, I had issues learning xEdit for the first time (about time honestly), but thanks to this video, you made it such an easy process. I also loved the jokes.

Yet again after a long break from modding skyrim I continue to come back to this video. Love ya my man.

dude youre entertaining asf, normally i skip through tutorials but I watched this whole one

"WHAT is the suffix found in the Editor's IDs?" "What do you mean? The BaseIDs or the RefIDs?" "...Huh? I-I don't know that!"

This video is so helpful, every time I come back to mod skyrim se I always come back to this video last for AllGUD so thanks.

I didn't expect a tutorial installation video for this mod. thanks

Monty Python bridge of death reference and impression was amazing, I came for the help and information and stayed for the performance. Awesome job and thanks a lot!

just stopping by to tell you that at the "alternate texture script" when you did the voice you made me loudly cackle. It was unexpected but appreciated lol I hope you are a D&D DM in your free time

You are a legend amongst men. I love your work, and the Holy Grail reference. Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial.

I just successfully went through installation process with Vortex. Now that I look back on it, it wasn't a rocket science, but man was it a deep dive into a rabbit whole with this one. Your video (and the other one with Vortex zip file installation) helped a lot, but I wish some things were better explained as it would save a lot of headache, frustration and frantic googling to check what some options mean or if they have any significance at all. And all I wanted to do was to display a staff on my back and nothing else. Anyway, thank you for your work on this mod and tool, much appreciated.

Thanks for making this as easy and simple as possible.

Thank you for both the mod and this easy to follow tutorial. Really appreciate it :)

Thanks for what you do. Incredible dedication for no recompense

I only watched this because of the Legal of Skyrim collection instructions, but the MP reference is what got your 150th sub

The bit with alternative time tutorial got a good laugh out me; very nice tutorial mate

I tought this would be hard to do because i don't use a mod menager, so i had to install XP32 skeleton and this manually. One of the best mods i've used. For a guy with two 1st names, you did great man, thank you.

Thank you! I'm not experienced with xEdit so this was extremely helpful

might just be the best tutorial video I've ever watched

Well I can't say I enjoyed watching a tutorial until now. What manner of man are you that can summon laughter without cheese or cringe?

Damn i just watched the tutorial on how to escape the alternate timeline on your channel, very detailed. Easy to understand. But after i escape, the tutorial is gone... Where i could find that again ? I just trapped myself in another timeline where Todd Howard is the king of the world, thanks.

Monty Python reference made my day. Thank you

Thanks so much for your mod and the scripts. Love me some ALLGUD

Your sense of humor made me soldier through the installation with a big smile on my face. Thanks!

Cool mod! Definitely worth all the tinkering around, it's one of the best aesthetic improvement mods out there.

sooo i did what you did but when my weapons were under my character i went back to look at the skeleton patch - which wasn't there, so i went back, manually selected the meshes from my xmpse MO modfile as input and the AllGUD meshes as output, and voila, it works! but why you skipped this part in the video beats me.. other than that this is a fantastic mod, good job! even back in the day i always liked equipping overhaul better than DSR, but it was insanely buggy and didn't feature the dual sheath - and now you made it all possible without even the need to look for patches! mind = blown

Fantastic tutorial sir! Much appreciated coming from a still novice skyrim modder

just for this tutorial imma subscribe to you. I loved it

4:22 took me by surprise man, i didnt see that coming

Thank you for this video. Made this very easy on my first go.

Thanks so much for a fantastic mod and an easy tutorial

thank you so much for this tutorial!! I love your mod!

I love your Monty Python references! Despite the bit of cringe, that made me laugh, so kudos!

Great tutorial. Funny and easy to understand.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Your voice is very pleasant.

What a PITA but the best tutorial possible, like a fun professor on a boring topic

Thanks for your work and your help!

I had to open this on YT instead of the nexus page just to give you a thumbs up for the Holy Grail reference.

This is the best tutorial on RU-vid! None Shall surPass!

This is the best tutorial ever

I forget how to do it every time. Fortunately this tutorial is pleasant, not too long and basically idiot-proof. Thanks. :)

Thank you so much for this video !!

Hello Kriffen. I watched your video and followed it with xEdit and executing your included scripts. Everything went relatively smoothly until I realized I don't know how to create the new mod. I'm working with the Nexus Mod Manager. Not Mod Organizer 2. I noticed that when you created the new mod from Mod Organizer 2 it auto created a meta.ini file. Do you have any suggestions for how to add the new mod? I currently have all of the appropriate meshes and skeleton edits in "......\Skyrim Special Edition\Mods\ALLGUD_Meshes\meshes\actors\character" I just don't know how to get NMM to add it as a mod.

Hey man :) love the mod and the vid thanks so much for your work! I have a question about load order as I'm confused about the 'conflict rules' part on the nexus page. Should it be All Geared up Derivative.esp (mods) AllGUD Meshes AllGUD Patch or All Geared up Derivative.esp AllGUD Meshes (mods) AllGUD Patch ? Thanks a million!

This is a mod author that cares. I like him.

lol I loved the monty python reference thanks for the tutorial!

Ngl putting "Simple & Intuitive to Use!" in the mod description is kinda false advertising lmao

can you also show us the load order of where to put the AllGUD meshes and extra meshes (generated from Alternate Textures)? Also do you have to manually patch each mod that has alternate textures of can you just select all the mods that need it?

Works like a charm!

I've followed this and still can't figure out exactly why my weapons for left hand appear under my character. I double checked the folder paths and they all look correct. Still puzzled on how to get the dual sheath working.

thanks brother you helped soo much

Hey Brian been using this mod for years had to regen some meshes due to wanting to all my newer weapon mods to AllGUD, follow the step as normal ... however left handed weapons are always below the character. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Any advice on routing out my problem?

Please make a tutorial video for the article on "XPMSSE 4.7 Bug Fixes".

What a charismatic fellow.

Brilliant! Thank you!

I really hope that in the future there'll be an easier way to install this

Maybe some things have changed since a year ago, but I cannot get the allgud mesh generator and skeleton generator to show up. I feel this video though prob easy for many, is outdated for dummies like myself. If all fails I'm just gonna go back to the old gems of Dual Sheath Redux, EQO etc. Anyway here's what I've done: 1) Downloaded and installed sseedit 2) Downloaded Allgud mod (note there are more files in the folder this time, scripts, interface, the esp file and meshes with no telling what to do with each of them) 3) I copy the "scripts" folder from allgud and paste it into the ssedit "edited scripts" folder. As far as I concern both allgud and sseedit main folder can be placed at any desired location (for me along with my other mods) 4) I installed allgud mod in mod organizer 2 4) Created the "Allgud meshes" empty mod, but not activating it. 5) I launch sseedit and let it do its thing. 6) I copy all the files on the left and click "apply scripts" 7) no allgud mesh generator and skeleton generator to show up :/

You are really awesome!

I occasionally rewatch this video cause it's so funny

I want to start off by saying I really appreciate the amazing work you've done in making this available for the public, making such an incredible tutorial, and making me laugh my ass off with the troll impressions lol. but I am curious about what you said at the end of the video, "but of course, because they are using original meshes, we are going to have to go back to the original mod and regen meshes again" kinda lost me I have like 30-40 different mods with custom textures and meshes for weapons and armor. do I have to run them individually, or can I just highlight all plugins and run it again (to make it easier on myself)? and why do we have to do it a second time? did the textures script change something?

I just wanna say, that mate I LOVE yer sense of humor, fukin hell I'm laughin me arse off. Also yer a damn legend for creating this, thanks lad.

So I imagine this has to be done every time you download new armor/weapon mods right? Or is it safer to do every single time you download a new mod?

so what should I do with the output 'meshes' folder?? do I need to copy paste it into skyrim/data folder or... okay so the part where you made the empty mod 'allgud meshes' , I'm using NMM but I can access wyre bash do I need to create the empty mod folder of some sort?

Thanks you made that fun

how do we know which mods have alternate textures?

Am I correct in thinking that when you talk about "Alternate textures", that you're referring to any mod which adds "non-Vanilla" textures? So you used Immersive Weapons because they have new textures, but something that uses vanilla textures (I can't think of an example) would not need this?

I'm more likely to respond to questions or bugs if you post to the mod page on nexusmods EDIT: DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE THE 'AllGUD Meshes' MOD IN YOUR MOD MANAGER

Thank you, it works good! But I'd have a question about that "AlternateTextureModelsplosion": does it refer to those Weapons with multiple textures but that share the same model? I shouldn't worry about armors, shouldn't I?

I uninstalled all my mods on vortex and then Vortex and installed MO2 just for this mod........worth it

The Mod looks amazing, but I got a headache in the first minute of the video. If possible, consider making a video for Vortex in the future.

Hi, I followed your tutorial and for some reason when I selected the output path for the skeleton patcher sse edit would point out that your items would appear on your charachters feet. I tried the installation 5 times and I managed to get the mod working properly after I set the path to the AllGuD meshes folder, without adding \actor\charachter\.

Excellent tutorial, excellent mod, but I'm really, truly here to compliment your voice. Very cute/soothing, no homo I swear. I have a LOT of mods, took me forever, so I just kept replaying this while I waited for various scripts to finish and such. Very relaxing. I nearly forgot the stress of fearing that I'm probably breaking my game. (Through my own incompetence.) Cheers.

Would I have to create a unique mesh for alternate texture weapons, such as immersive weapons, or is it only necessary for shields?

Thanks man!

you really should've made this video tutorial mandatory

How do I add a custom race to the esp? The only instructions I've been able to find are, "add your races to the ARMOR records in 'All Geared Up Derivative.esp'", which tells me nothing of how to do that -- no word on what files it needs or how to even perform the action at all -- and I've since been muddling about through folders and xEdit for hours fruitlessly.

For the flickering weapons and resizing shields part, what do you mean by "fix and recompile their scripts"? I think I did this wrong in the first place, which I did it basically on my own. Now I'm redoing it according to your video, which could take me awhile, but on the chance that I'm going to have the same flickering weapons issue, I'm asking this regardless. Will edit when I've finished following each step. Edit: Okay, I redid things the way you described and it works! I forgot to explain that I was having the weapon on floor issue, but that's gone now it seems, at least for some of the modded weapons I have tried. However, the off-hands are still flickering. I can live with this, because at least I was able to follow enough instructions to get it working 90%, but any explanation on how to fix the flickering (if there is one) would be extremely appreciated. Also, if someone wouldn't mind describing, how can you tell if a mod uses alternate texture? It would make sense if the mod wasn't working, but I don't actually know what 'alternate texture' entails. Final question; my data folder has all the meshes and actor folders in it. The way I did this before was to generate everything to an unrelated folder, drop it in there, and call it a day. It's all still there, but I can't tell if it's generated from this second try (that has actually made it work), or if I just forgot to delete it all before I restarted the whole process. Do all those files need to stay there while I have the MO2 mod folder, or are they just duplicates?

Can I apply the scripts for multiple armor and weapon mods at the same time so I dont have a bunch of patch esps crowding my load order?

There are still a few things I cant find antthing about on the web. 1. What do you do with the files that are created in the overgrote folder, do you just make a mod from it, or do you move the meshes it created to you ALLGUD Meshes\meshes folder ? 2.How this this go with a bashed patch, first bashed patch then run your AllGUD credit scripts or the other way around ? Thanks a ton for the mod, it’s way more awesome then DSR combined with something like vfg

I would really love to install this mod. By any chance, will this be compatible with 'Simple Dual Sheath'? I know Ecotone Dual Sheath isn't compatible with this but I'm just hoping

"Error in unit 'AllGUDMeshGen' on line 1903: Undeclared Identifier 'getKeyState'." How do I fix this error?

I have valkyrja viking sword mod, wanted to install it with AllGUD, how do I go and update it so it will be shown sheathed since it is a new mod?

How do I go about right clicking on an empty space to run the Skeleton Patcher if the plugins fill the entire plugin list? Or do I just right click on any plugin and run the Skeleton Patcher?

this is such a comprehensive tutorial and could be followed with some understanding of PC terms, but i wish bethesda just pick up the slack and make actual weapons appear on the character when it's favorited instead of equipped for the next TES6. Yes, it probably will make us look like crazed madman with 2 swords, 2 daggers, a bow, and a shield, but isn't that what we are in the game?

If you have to make multiple Alternate mesh ESPs, I'm assuming you can merge those ESPs together with zMerge?

hello brian .. is the created alternate texture .esp should be used in game load .. or just for the mesh generator afterwards, then discard? (the alt tex node is not used)

Hello may I ask anything about the Alternate Texture? Should I done it or not? How do I know if the mod have alternate texture? Currently I have 120 mods installed but only 15-20 weapon and/or armor mods. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with scripting.

So for the alternate texture part, what mods do I need to do this for? Just texture replacers or every mod? And is it just armor or weapon, or both?

Great tutorial, helped a lot! but how about what to do when it gives an error prompt regarding not being able to process meshes for Isilmeriel LOTR Weapon Collection? Anyone has any ideas?

I installed the Aldrnari wabbajack list with AllGUD included, seemed to be working fine until I used bodyslide to rebuild everything to a new cbbe preset and since then I seem to either pull out a duplicate weapon and leave a copy on my belt, or my weapon just disappears when I sheath it. Is there a way to fix this? Sorry if this is a basic question, I've just made the move from xbox to pc so I'm trying to get my head around all of the new things available to me. Thank you

I don't get the mod weapon meshes displayed. During processing xEdit tells me, there is an Error. Is it straight up not possible to do this for mod weapons or did I mess up at one point?

Hi. Having trouble with setting this up. I have painstakingly followed your RU-vid tutorial and the troubleshooting comment on the Nexus page many times, I’ve been trying to get this to work over a few days now. As with a lot of other people, all the items in game show up and work fine, however, my custom textured steel sword and iron shield won’t show (unless unsheathed). As I said, I’ve followed all instructions to the T, even going back on myself and redoing the whole process again. the only area I’m unsure about, because it was skipped over quite quickly in the RU-vid tutorial without much explanation, is the two “Editor ID” prompt boxes after selecting the “AlternateTextureModelsposion” script. I left blank as instructed but I’m thinking maybe I have to enter something to link to my mods custom textures? any help will be greatly appreciated! Dying to get this to work! (Posted to the Nexus originally)

You mentioned that I don't need any plugins selected to run the skeleton script. But my SSEdit is full of mods and there is no blank space for me to right click? is there a way to not select anything when right clicking??

The plugins made by the texture patcher are safe to be merged with Merge Plugins?

Does the skeleton arm fix get fixed with fnis? or does fnis not fix what the link in the allgud nexus page points to?

this is probably a really stupid question, but when you run the skeleton script, you right click on a blank space so that nothing is selected but i don't have a blank space so something is always selected. so how can i deselect mods?
