NPC Face Issue

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 6:16 am

Heya,

I had edited Clover's face and hair quite awhile ago. It was stock hair options, nothing from a mod. It worked without a hitch and I played for quite awhile without any issues.

After Raven Rock, I played solo for a time. When I went back to Paradise Falls to pick her up, she had her original hair style and color. When I go back into the mod file I made, it still shows the modified face and hair, but no longer reflects them in game. Any advice on what might have caused this and how to fix it?

Thanks!

You didn't by chance go back at some point during gameplay and load up a save game from *before* you made your editor changes to her? A savegame would remember what she looked like originally.
To test that theory and possibly fix the problem, just kill her... from the console I mean. Bring up the console (~ key) and select her and type kill, then hit enter and then toggle the console off and watch her die. Then hit ~ again for the console, select her again and type resurrect, then hit enter and toggle the console off again. If your mod file is active and those changes still in it, she *should* reappear how you had her set up.

Heya,

Thanks for the suggestion Bonedog. I tried it several times, but it didn't work. She still has the same raider hair style.

I never went back to a save from before the mod. My guess is that it had something to do with her being sent home during Raven Rock and reseting, but I have no idea why it would change. It's not a huge deal, just annoying that I can't figure out how to fix it. She can wear a bag on her head. :)

I have almost the same issue with some of the females. I have changed their hair(style,color) and their clothes, the clothes and hair color stay but it puts the style back to original (Nova, Bittercup, Jenny Stahl) for right now since I just started a new game. now the weird thing is, is that Lucy and Silver keeps the way I save them in the GECK (hair(style,color) and clothes. any help would be appreciated and of course I'm a newbie to the GECK so go gentle on the steps to fix it(if any1 knows) thanks.

One thing I've noticed, is that on forms that have a lot of window tabs on them (like NPCs, AI Packages, etc..) that when you make a change on one tab and then switch to other tabs to edit on those without saving first, sometimes the changes you made on the previous tabs aren't remembered. If you haven't already tried it, try editing one tab (like say clothing), save your mod, then reopen the npc and make changes to a different tab, save, etc...
