Can't seem to change hair style.

[Kiern]

I have been away from the game for a while and just started a new game. I have forgotten a lot of what I knew about modifying characters, but I am only trying to do something that should be fairly simple, but it is not working, and i am not sure why.

 

I have installed the Brianna companion mod and want to change her hair style.

 

First I tried Geck. I loaded it with Fallout, Project Beauty, and the companion mod. I made changes to the hair and saved the file out. I then enable the file, but it does not change anything in game. If I open the file i created, the change is there, but she still uses the generic hair in the game.

 

I have also tried using Fo3edit, but something is not working correctly with that. When I try to create a merge file most stuff does not get copied to it. Her file specifically does not, despite being listed in red on the left hand column for the companion mod, and I do not get a "merged" column on the right side where the other mods are listed. I even tried loading it with Hairday, which had ore custom changes to her than Project Beauty, and i could still not get a merge section. I tried copying the "red eyes" option directly from Hairday to the companion mod, and that worked in game, but I really don't want to change the mod directly if i don't have to, plus it hardcoded the mod to use Hairday as a master, which I also would rather not do. i would much prefer to have the changes in a separated file.

 

I don't remember having this problem before. What am I doing wrong? I did start using NMM instead of FMM, but that shouldn't be a factor, should it?

Well, i finally got her hair changed, but not in the way I would have liked. I ended up using FO3edit to copy the information from the file I created in GECK directly to the companion mod file. I still don't understand why she was not added to the merge file when multiple mods modify her and were in conflict. <shrugs>
