Antioche Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 You know how it is. You exit the sewers, rub your eyes in the light of HDR daytime.... and look at your face in TRUE light for the first time ingame. demmit... My skin tone is jaundiced ( okay, I was in prison...) and the 'beard' I gave my character makes it look like he's been tied to the south end of a northbound troll. So as the "showracemenu" command is available, it is not difficult to edit your character's looks, hair, etc.BUT as we know...now....you DO that....and you reset your stats to ingame base. Grrrrr... The supposed workaround, is to not hit "done" when finished altering your looks, rather, save your game, and reload it. According to the Oblivion wiki console page, you will be as you wanted to look, with no reset of skills. Trouble is, it doesn't work. the console ( save game <#> ) doesn't work, and 'save' is greyed out if you press escape during pauses. Is there another workaround? anyone know how? Oh, also, "setactorname" doesn't work at all. "Setname" does, for abit, but a few load-screens, and your horse is "My Bay Horse" again. Any ideas? ~Thanks in advance everyone, you all rock. ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antioche Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 When I attempt in console to save, it refuses, says ( in console text as if I had entered an incorrect script call ) " You cannot save now " Is there an alternate save command ? Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the setactor fullname command, I'll have to try that right away ( could swear I'd used every such permutation though! ) Thanks for the responce Calliton. ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddhaKhan Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Greetings, as far as I know this 'showracemenu and then save and do not hit the 'done'-button'-thing works, but u can only save while the console is active. What I am trying to say is: if you deactivated the console, while adjusting your chars appearance, name, etc. in the racemenu, just open it again, then hit 'Esc' and the save-option shouldn't be grey anymore... That is how it works in my Oblivion. I hope this is of any help to you... Regards BuddhaKhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyatistic Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The problem you might have when using showracemenu is that you hit the console off while using the Race Menu. If you reopen the console, then you can hit ESC and the save-option isn't grey anymore. Atleast that's how it works for me. (: And as someone mentioned earlier, the setactorfullname-console code goes like this: setactorfullname "Bob the Builder" Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
