[LE] NPC is destroying my game

[Luralai]

Hi there!

 

Brand new to modding, Creation Kit, this forum, you name it... but I'm so confused, I'm desperate for help.

 

Following this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLgSYzOaTnA) I attempted to make my own follower and love interest for Skyrim SE. I followed all the directions (except in factions I also added 'potentialmarriage' and in relationships switched 'ally' to 'lover' and one other setting to 'spouse') then saved him to my data files, and tried to load up the game. My SkyUI and community overlay mods disabled, and when I attempted to enable all 3, my game crashed. Okay, use LOOT to fix the load order. It changes things around, SkyUI enables but community won't, I load up the game again. Crash. I disable my follower and enable both, crash again. The game will open to the menu, then crash when I try to play. Even when he's disabled.

 

I'm at a loss towards what I'm doing wrong. I've combed through the tutorial, and I believe I've done everything correctly. But for some reason I seem to have ruined it. Does anyone know what could be going on?

 

Thank you so much.

 

Edit: I edited the plug in via nexus, and it seemed to work. My game loaded, and after some waiting, my NPC did too. I spoke to him briefly, but he seems to have the blackface error and refuses to move from one spot. I'm going to check to see if he's stuck in the map, and probably also edit the relationship to leave the potential for marriage, rather than already making him a spouse. If there's anything else anyone would recommend, I'd love if you could help a girl out. Thanks!

If you have darkface problems it's the data in facegendata. Look up how to export faces from the CK. This type of mod when crashing have one of two mistakes or both ... Data is a duplicate of an existing NPC or Data isn't set up correctly (this includes mesh and texture errors). If you have made it this far then it should be easy to deconstruct a known working follower and compare it to yours. As far as the data you're talking about it sounds to me like including spouse is that error. Why would you even need that with the other two. You can make them a spouse from that in game.
