Console commands....showracemenu

[Legion monkey]

Legion monkey is vexed. My fault in some respects but not entirely. Let me explain. Having had some severely bad experiences with Oblivion mods I did expect some problems with F03 and I was not disappointed. I thusly resorted to extreme measures and removed the entire game. Ouch. My choice.

 

Ok, that was extreme. I re install the entire F03 game and new FOMM and new Invalidate and chose some nice mods that suit my role playing style. Here is the list:

 

XENH. Esp (female race mod looks nice)

Bionic eyes. Esp ( ties in with XENH)

Aer10 laser rifle. Esp ( nice scoped rifle)

Sra. Esp (shoulderless metal armour, in black)

Minihideout. Esp ( c`mon, you know this is good, 700 rates!!?)

 

That’s it, DLC`s and then them above. I discover that zeta dlc works fine, so one problem has stopped happening (the bit after the alien examination where I am in a cell and I have absolutely no control, staring at the empty cell, that problem). So I play on.

 

Now after some hours I have reached the main story end sequence and ….. ah.

I am now staring at the pump room from the floor with no control again. As before the re install. Interesting. So I try a few things. Point lookout works so its not that, zeta has worked so its not that. Try the mod order. Nope. Cannot switch off all the mods at once, as I lose integrity and crash. Ok……. So I try each one in turn. XENH is the one crashing so I think about how to get around this. So I try command “showracemenu” and I have a partial success. Because I am not a XENH race choice, broken steel works, but I have lost my perks. I can change my race back after the broken steel intro has past but, no perks.

 

I remember something about race changes and skill loss in Oblivion, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was that got round this problem, plus, when I am changing race I have to disengage “tab” to see what I am doing because it’s just impossible to do it otherwise. So if I need to save in there somewhere, where? You can’t whilst the race menu is up. I know some of you will state the obvious, remove XENH mod. Yeah, but, do I really have to? Is that my only option here? Plus what if XENH isn’t the only issue? That’s a lot of game time to find out isn’t it? Surely there is another way? I know I am not the brightest spark in the universe but I wouldn’t say I am the thickest piece of wood in the forest either. I love this game and am seeking solutions.

 

If anyone can help a pc illiterate such as myself I would appreciate the assist.

About the mod problem maybe you receive better help in it's thread but you can try to use Fo3edit masterupdate.

As the showrace menu,yes there is a similar problem, like in oblivion, when you change race thought the console the perk stop do work, so the only way to get them work again is using the console (player.removeperk to 'clean' and the addperk to give back)

 

Also it's appears to have a way to avoid this issue when changing races, try this:

1) Open the console and type showracemenu and press Enter.

2) DON'T CLOSE THE CONSOLE... leave it open and make your changes.

3) When you're done, don't click the Done button. Instead, press Esc to bring up the menu and Save into a new (recommended) or existing slot. You won't be able to save via the console.

4) Quit game from the menu.

5) Start game and load.

 

it's appears to work in Oblivion but i don't know if work in Fallout 3 you can try it.

 

hopes this help you.
