FAQ

================

--No "data files" option in the launcher--

Open SkyrimPrefs.ini. File can be found in:

...\Documents\My Games\Skyrim

Find [Launcher] and add this line below it:

bEnableFileSelection=1

--No blood after fights--

Currently there is a small chance of blood appearing during combat and it will have random skew and transparency. That's how the game treats blood as of right now, until the CK is released. Try repeatedly hitting dead bodies and see if it works. If it doesn't then you may need to check "Load Loose files"

--Textures are the same or don't work--

You may need to check "Load Loose Files" in the data files menu in the launcher.

To check if the textures are replaced. Go to Halted Stream Camp northwest of the Whitewatch and look at the bloodstains in the middle of the camp and see if it's different.

--Make the game more bloody/gore--

Wait until the Creation Kit is out.

--Basic things that are possible to fix when Creation Kit is out---

-By default blood indoors is brighter than outdoors. Shouldn't be like that

-To have different sets of blood textures for dragon wounds, hit splatters, and old blood. Currently they all share. (Limited with the current tools can't create new texture sets)

-Different wound textures depending on weapon

-New blood on weapon textures

-Hit splatters appear with every hit with no random skew and transparency
