So if I type "sixchange" into the console, it will change my six. Does this have any negative effects? And then can I use "showracemenu" to simple change my appearance, or will that have any negative effects? Also, is it possible to save beforehand, and if it screws up, simply load up the old save? I don't see any reason in the world why this wouldn't be possible, but I just wanna make sure in advance. Thanks!

Didn't quite read the post properly first time around, sorry I don't know anything besides that saving beforehand should allow you to revert any mistakes you've made.

ShowRaceMenu is better.

Save before you use showracemenu and reload if you messed up your stats. However, as long as you don't touch your chars race everything should be fine.

From what I've heard, simply using the six change command has NO negative effects. Some people say that you lose all of your stats with ShowRaceMenu, or at least your racial bonuses. I don't wanna risk that, especially if loading an old save wouldn't fix it (which I do doubt).




So I definitely can just revert it by loading? Also, does that mean I can't change my appearance without screwing my stats up?

I've experimented with showracemenu quite a bit and the only thing that has ever caused any of my stats to reset is changing the race. I have changed presets and six with no problems, but make sure you write down your stats and check before and after to be sure.

If you do encounter problems, make sure you let us know.

Okay thanks, sounds good! But can anyone 100% confirm that saving/loading will reverse any changes? I know it should in theory, but I'm just a little paranoid.

I'm sure it's fine - but it's not like you can't console-fix any potential error anyway.

That's true, though to be honest it's not for me, it's for a friend, and I'd hate to screw up her character and then have to explain how to fix it all :\

Before you change anything, manually make a new save.

Load that save, open the character sheet and write down the stats: Magicka, Health, Stamina, skills (eg. One-handed 31 1/2, etc.), racial powers. If you have anything that modifies your stats equipped (rings, amulets, etc.) unequip them. (Some people say they have had issues result from that.)

Follow the directions in the article I linked to.

After you're done renaming your character and exiting the showracemenu, open up the character sheet and confirm that nothing has changed. Continue playing.

Don't overwrite the original save for that character for a little while just to be sure that, in case something is messed up, you can go back to it.

I've used the showracemenu numerous times without any issues at all. As long as you don't change the race, you should be fine, but some people report issues if you change the preset or six so always double-check your stats and keep a back-up.
