drunkconker Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Hello, (Extremely new to creation kit / modding) I need help getting creation kit to work/export face gen data. I've seen multiple post saying the same exact thing "make sure NPC is highlighted". I've tried all different methods. I typed in the NPCs name and highlighted the NPC and pressed CTRL + F4.. Nothing showed up I looked up the npc manually and highlighted the NPC and pressed CTRL + F4 again nothing. CTRL F4 just does nothing at all. Like it doesn't exist. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the fix? Is there an alternate way to export face gen data? NPC name is Cylest. Update [not solved] Work around was to install CK on another PC and make it work. Update 2 [sOLVED!] changed hotkey of another program, read last post for details.

IsharaMeradin Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Make sure the plugin has been saved. There needs to be an existing filename or the export will not work.Make sure that the Chargen Face Preset box is not checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkconker Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Box was not checked and I saved the plugin, still having issues. :sad:. I tried it on other NPCs in CK any nothing is happening. No prompt or anything Video of my CK opening / loading plugin / errors Every time I highlight Cylest I'm spamming CTRL + F4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITUMPlkDW7E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinglen75 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I could be wrong on this but I noticed that when you loaded the mod you only selected your mod /plugin itself and didn't also select the Skyrim.esm dependency/master file. When I create NPCs (and maybe it's different in CK for SSE which I'm more accustomed to) I always select the Skyrim.esm, Update.esm files (and the DLC master files) along with my plugin -- and making my plugin "active". But, I also noticed on the bottom of your video that Skyrim.esm was apparently loading even though you didn't select it. Interesting. IDK -- Maybe just try selecting the Skyrim.esm master file on the list (where there's a check in the box), then select your mod and make it active. Load it up and try again. Make sure the actor/NPC is selected -- highlighted -- then you press CTRL + F4 to get the facegen option. Make sure you're doing it while in the Object Window. Is that what you're doing at 1:37 of you video? That is when you're supposed to be pressing CTRL + F4 in your video. Forgive if this was pointless information. Just thought I too would try to help out in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkconker Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 As I said in my original post, I am very new to CK. So anything that might work I will try! :). I will have to try it after I recreate her, I accidentally deleted some of the floor in river wood using CK. Its tied to that esp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkconker Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Update, that didn't work out either.. This is driving me crazy. Thanks for the info tho, willing to try all ideas. I looked for a hotkey list for CK and found nothing mentioning CTRL + F4 or exporting face gendata from any "credible" site. Buts its loud and clear from the modder community. Its kinda hard to believe that no one else has this issue, I can't find anything else with similar symptoms.Everyone: "Just press CTRL + F4 to export data!" Me: "?... No work" I must be missing something so basic.. I tried a different keyboard too, just for my sanity. Also tried running CK as admin.

agerweb Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Can't see any reason why this wouldn't work for you. Probably best way forward is to put your esp somewhere where I can download it and I will try it in the CK; then we at least will find out if its just you.

agerweb Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Because you are changing the Skin you need "is chargen Face Preset" to be selected in this case; then you can Ctrl F4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkconker Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Because you are changing the Skin you need "is chargen Face Preset" to be selected in this case; then you can Ctrl F4. Turning it on didn't fix it either... I tried random other npcs on the list and the option doesn't prompt either with it checked and unchecked like the feature is completely missing from CK. I already reinstalled CK and verified files through steam. Thanks for trying. Is there any options outside of CK that prevent that from working? ini files or mods?
