Can't change NPC appearance

[Guest deleted95234838]

I am trying to change Pipers appearance cause I have a preset for her. I thought naturally it would change her appearance upon load order, etc. Been trying to change her with slm command but after changing her appearance she just reverts back to her default look. I'm pretty much stump at this point cause I've trying lowering the .esp as low as it can go and it still didn't make a difference.

Anyways here is my load order: (It's a bit messy cause I let loot order it but it just works.)

Also here is the mod I am trying to use for Pipers appearance. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42903

Thanks in advance.

Edit: SLM seems to be working for other NPC's just fine. The preset still not sticking to piper though.

When does it revert back? on load, on New game or right away? SLM preset don't save on New Games unless you use faceripper.

 

I would suggest applying the preset in slm then saving the preset under a different name exit out of slm, reapply the new preset name in slm.

Alright so, the preset for the face is working but the only thing that is reverting back is the hair now. I also notice when making a new preset and then re-selecting it, it adds black lipstick again from deluxe lip liner mask.

 

Also to answer your question it's right away, right after exiting slm. Saving then reloading does not work neither. Also I am trying this on a new game. As well as in a white test room. The crazy part I applied the preset to Cait and it stayed.

 

Figured it out. It was a mod conflict with Wasteland Heroines Replacer.

 

Edit: So after some more tinkering. I used FO4Edit and removed everything related to piper in Heroines mod. And left only Non-Player Character Actor. After that no reverts exiting slm and I can change her any way I like now.
