GoldenBlossom Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hey y'all. I've been searching around for a thread that discusses this particular problem, but I couldn't find any. Hopefully I'm in the right place. You see, I've been wanting to create a CM partner that I can use in screenshots, and because I have a specific appearance in mind (one of my old characters) I wanted to make a customized one. I ran into a stone wall right off the bat though, because when I tried to create the NPC in the CS I couldn't see the face. It showed up neither under the Face tab nor Face Advanced tab, and trying to Reset or Generate the face caused CS to crash. I checked a few other NPCs in CS, but I couldn't see their faces either. My Oblivion is patched to the latest version, as is my Construction Set, and this seems to happen regardless of whether I have the CM files checked or not. Reading the respective guides to creating custom NPCs in the CM Partners ReadMe and the Elder Scrolls IV: Construction Set Wiki yielded nothing on this, so either I'm missing something very obvious or this is a rare issue. I hope I can get an answer here. Grateful for any help / Zeus_II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 From how I read your post, you are saying that you cannot see faces in the CS with ONLY oblivion.esm loaded, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenBlossom Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Correct, I cannot see their faces when only Oblivion.esm is loaded. I cannot see them with any of the CM Partner-related files loaded either. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 If you cannot see any faces with only Oblivion.esm loaded, then something is seriously wrong with your installation. Just out of curiosity, can you see faces in-game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdf Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Have you ticked the box in the lower right hand side of the NPC window that says "head" ? If you have and it's still not showing up, you may want to reinstall the CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vyper Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That's not an uncommon problem when using Windows Vista or Windows 7. Try clicking the "full body preview" option before you click on the Face or Face Advanced tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenBlossom Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 That did the trick! Since I always clicked the face tab right away I didn't notice that the 'full' preview option wasn't grayed out before I did. I'm seriously sick of Vista... Anyway, thanks to Vyper for solving the mystery, and to Hick and Chuck for offering help. ^^ Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
