Not all heads and hair work together so there's not much you can do but try another combination.

Well, use enableracemenu and pick another head or hair, usually you can get a pretty good idea if they're compatible from the paperdoll thumbnail image. The only thing about enableracemenu is that you can only do it once per session. Once you use it you have to exit the game completely and restart before you can use it again.

The hair is clipping more with the body than the head. Also, If I do enableracemenu, It continues to class and birth sign, probably wrecking my stats, i also have a custom class.

I just tried it and it works fine for me, are you possibly using enableclassmenu instead?

Anyway, if you're talking about long hair clipping around the shoulders, that's unavoidable as far as I know; it just goes with the graphics engine.

fragon is right, enableracemenu should not change your stats iirc. If it is for some reason and you are patient enough, though, you can write down all your stats and spells that you have. Then, after you modify your character, you can use the console to bring everything back to where it was:

player->set"skill name" #player->setacrobatics 45player->addspell "spell name"player->addpsell "wild levitate"


As far as I know, this is the only way to put your stats right again.

Why are people still using enableracemenu? Use enablestatreviewmenu instead. I've never had problems with it. Just be aware if you change your race you'll either have to open and close it again or save and reload. And don't freak out if your menus are out of place, just close and re-open your inventory.

That's the one I'd use, always works fine for me too.

Enableracemenu only modifies your stats and opens further menus if you've previously ran through character creation or used the command in the same session. If you restart the game, that is to say run the executable again, not reload, Enableracemenu will function perfectly.
