A little help with the CS

Post » Thu Feb 18, 2010 8:26 pm

I looked around on the CS website with little luck. I'm sorry if this has been covered.

I'd like to use the face from an NPC companion I downloaded to make a PC. I was thinking it should be possible to do this using the Construction Set and Wrye Bash (I know Wrye Bash allows you to copy a character's face and import it to another one), but I haven't the foggiest if that's true and if so, how to do it.

Could someone let me know if this is possible at all, and if so point me in the direction of a walkthrough, or give me a quick rundown here?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the triple posting.

I've tried the instructions found here: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/How_To_Make_an_NPC_Playable#Use_an_NPC_face_for_your_character

What I'm trying to do is make one of the Characters from Abriael's CM partners #3 a playable character. It uses a custom race (Abriael Imperial).

I followed the steps of the walkthrough to the letter, with a few changes- I was trying to make it a female, so I ticked off the Female box and Changed the race to Abriael Imperial.

It moved "player" from Imperial Male, to Abriael Imperial. However when I try to start a new game, it CTDs about 90% of the way through the loading screen before the prologue.

I was able to revert things so I can make new games, but I'd like to still figure this out if its possible.

Any Help is appreciated.

A quick thought about a possible why: Is the race you are using set to be "Playable". That's a checkbox in the Race's properties. Not having that selected might cause a crash... not sure.

Since the mod that adds the race (Abriael's Humans Revamped) adds 4 new races which are all playable, I would assume that, yes, its set to playable.

Another Issue I have which may or may not be related, when I load up Oblivion.esm, and the files required for the companion pack with the face (Abriael's humans, cm companions, and the companion pack), and then try to view faces, they don't actually show up most of the time in the preview box, which makes me think something's wrong. Furthermore if I try to copy or paste faces when its like this, it crashes the Construction Set.
