Hello everyone!
(Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, since this is my first post - just let me know if there is a problem and I shall move it!)
New to the forum, but very interested in modding some new lands mods for the RGH'd Xbox 360! While I'm totally aware that I should probably 'just get an Xbox One and be done with it', I think its' a fun challenge and a rewarding one (ps I am a poor student, with little time and even less money )
I wonder if anyone with some experience could give me some pointers? I will be happy to convert the mods myself and share, if I can get some hints on what I need to do.I have attempted to convert the mod myself using the wonderful tutorial here on the forum over at Xbox Chaos(a), yet have some problems:
For testing purposes, I have replaced 1. with a tutorial for DDSOpt (c). This improved some of the texture problems, but the crash/infinite loading screen on transition persists.
To be clear, the Skyrim-based NPCs load and work fine! However, it is upon transition that the XBox crashes. It would seem I need to optimize further, but I don't know how.
Wishing you all the very best!

- I have been able to get Beyond Reach functional (with funky graphical errors):
- however my Xbox crashes/infinite loading screen as soon as I attempt to travel to the new land. I think, however slight, this is a promising start!
- The mods contain loose files, which I have copied into the Data folder in the Skyrim Game folder (/Xbox 360 Games/Skyrim/Data/. I have no idea whether this is advised or not
- I am using Legendary Edition as my base.
- Use Ordenador to reduce the textures.
I downsample both the BSA file and the Loose file textures. I have tried with numerous iterations of the downsampling, (halving the textures once, twice and three times over several passes), but nothing much changes the crash. I assume this means I will have to downsample the textures myself? - Use BSAopt to convert to Xbox 360. This is performed exactly as per the above tutorial, exactly as described.
- Use LeFluffie to convert the resulting .bsa and the original .esm file to an Xbox 360 DLC file. I tried to use Velocity program suggested in the tutorial above, yet this resulted in a 'DLC File Corrupted' message from Skyrim. I therefore followed a different tutorial (b), using LeFluffie.
For testing purposes, I have replaced 1. with a tutorial for DDSOpt (c). This improved some of the texture problems, but the crash/infinite loading screen on transition persists.
