Facial editor not working

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 3:04 pm

The title says it all...

I made an Argonian named Hu-Lek, who is a clone of another in-game character. I gave him all the inventory/AI adjustments and that worked fine, but the sliding adjusters for the facial editor don't appear and, after changing the face and pressing "OK," the CS crashes. This is problem is consistent; the CS will ALWAYS crash when I try to edit any face.

Can anyone help me?? If it matters (probably), I don't have any .nif models. I think I have the BSA files for them but I'm not sure how to unpack.

This used to happen to me all the time :) What i do is if i want to mess with their face, i click the "preview-->head" box at the bottom FIRST. Then you can transition over to the face tab and start customizing.

Hope this helps... if not then i hope you find a solution soon. Being stuck on that kinda of stuff is a drag.

Edit- oh and also as a precaution, after i have their face atleast somewhat how i want it, i click ok- save the mod, then continue on. I know facial customization is tedious (atleast for me) so i get a bit mad if the CS crashes after ive made good progress. good luck ;)

For me, the CS crashes when I click the Face tab first. Instead, I pass that and go to the next tab which is Face Advanced. After that there is no crashing and I can even click on the Face tab to change hair color, etc, if I have not closed the window yet. So everytime I open an actor npc window I must make sure to click the Face Advanced tab first, and then there is no problem.
