What's Wrong with the Race Descriptions?

I'm sorry, but your post isn't very clear. I don't know what you mean by "Clicking off the race."

Would you mind making your post a little more clear?

Okay, I think I did what you said, but it still doesn't seem to work.

I don't know what else to suggest, then, sorry.

I decided to just recolor the races. That way, I don't have to change the description.

I had same problem, so I use other tool to edit race description. Or you can try this, though I'm not sure it will work well:

- Duplicate a race, but do not edit it right away. Instead, save the plugin, then exit Construction Set.(although I don't think exiting, the restarting CS is necessary)

- Restart CS, load the plugin, then edit duplicated race.

 

I was wondering what tool you used to edit the race descriptions.

 

TES4Edit will work, and I often use CorESPReader for quick editing.

Very well.

 

I opened CS, set Oblivion.esm as my active file. I then opened the list of races, and copied the Argonian. After changing the ID of the new race, I went in and edited its Attributes, skills, etc. Then, I edited its appearance, and changed its name and erased the description to make my own. Unfortunately, when I did that, it also erased the Argonian's race description.

 

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but it only seems to happen if I don't change to race's height and weight. Maybe I should check that out.

I've created a few custom races and I have encountered this problem as well. My solution was this:

 

1. Duplicate the race in the race menu.

 

2. Close the race menu and save the mod.

 

3. Open the race menu again, rename the race, close the race menu again and save.

 

4. Open the race menu again and make all other changes.

 

It's a bit tedious, but it gets the job done.
