showracemenu alternative for NPC?

[peppefarina]

HI everyone :biggrin:

there is a way to have access to a kind of showracemenu for the NPCs?

 

My difficulty is i can't get the famous NPC Editor running (dunno why, it has problems with win8)

and i need to use the CK without the texture folder for the facegendata bug

(when you get the NPC forehead colored like the makeup)...

so...

i'm stuck. :confused:

I can only change the player, effectively, this way. And i don't need to.

If there was a way to change the traits of NPC with the ease of showracemenu, would be great.

 

Ciao :cool:

It doesn't exist. I've looked extensively through Steam and the Nexus. But I do have terrible eyesight.. Anyway, there's Face Shop:

I believe it may export an .npc file that you can then work from in the CK with your particular NPC.

 

Frankly, I found your topic because I'm mad at the whole "only the face" situation in the NPC Editor. But every time I try to create exactly what I can do in game, they come out ugly pre-Skyrim The CK has previews for the body.. but creating an .esp for that character just causes my game to crash unless I remove it.. and don't use the .esp. So I check the NPC Editor and it says "missing mesh file". Really? Isn't the CK supposed to create that?

I'm banging my head against a wall over here trying to figure out how to create new followers..

I'm working on this issue as well. I think I have a solution I'm going to test it a bit more before I share it~ make sure it works.

 

Hey maybe we could collaborate. I know that you need to set your custom body skeleton as a master file when loading in Creation Kit (same with hair, face, armor etc) to be able to see them in Creation Kit. I'll post if I can find a solution.

if you use Alternate actors you can switch to the NPC and use the console command for racemenu to edit them.

Then you get the brown/grey/dark face bug- I did anyway.

 

Someone said this earlier on Nexus somewhere ( I revised it when I copied it; can't remember who said it )

~Showracemenu while in game- use on your own player make your face look like whatever you want

~savepcface (filename) when finished and out of race menu - put (filename) whatever you want i.e. ~savepcface ysolda

In Skyrim’s directory (not data) you’ll have a (filename).npc file

Start Creation Kit: If making a new file just select Skyrim.esm, If modding a current mod use []set as active file for your mod

NOTE: If you have custom hair/face/etc from other files you will need to load them in creation kit to view them and choose them as an option. Hair might need to be manually changed regardless.

Find your actor that you want to replace the face data of. Open character gen part tab and click on import. Find (filename).npc .

Highlight your actor you changed (left click) and press ctrl+F4. Save .esm and load into game to test.

This, however, isn't what I've been looking for- I was really hoping to edit the body meshes to the extent of race menu plugin's abilities. This is like the third option to changing NPC's faces; what I can't find anywhere is how to edit NPC body structures/meshes. The most extent I've found in Creation Kit is the ability to change height and weight T__T

Sorry didn't realize this post was two years old. I googled and it brought me here O_o
