So i'm quite new with the creation kit, but I only want it for one reason: Making Lydia a Khajiit.

Now, I know there are mods on Nexusmods that do this for you, but they always make Lydia have that Khajiit hairstyle...
(Dreadlocks, slicked-back hair, etc.)
The way I want her to look is how she looks when you just open the console and enter 'Setrace Khajiit.'

I'd do that, but I have to do it every single time I start the game, and I was looking for a more permanent fix.
So, with creation kit in hand, I have successfully changed her race to Khajiit, Nose type 4, and blue eyes. Nothin fancy.

I do CTRL+F4, exporting face data, I save the plugin and make sure it's checked before starting Skyrim, and visually it works!
However, she starts speaking to me, and her mouth doesn't move. Just this blank expression as if she's wearing a mask.

It can be fixed by doing the setrace commands, but then we're back to square one...
I've searched forum posts and youtube videos across the net to no avail, and so, hours later, and frustrated, I beg you guys for some assistance. :C
