lyssa23 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I hope this one is really easy and I feel stupid afterwards, but...I am working on a Mod near Bravil. It is going well, but I do notice that when I am approaching my new island, my NPCs appear by dropping from about 20 ft or so in the air. Sometimes, they do it when I just turn around and am on the island! Help!On that same note, I had to reload all and, though CM Partners works fine and I can create new ones who work, I can no longer use Sah or Jessica Alba, both I adore. :-) Ideas? I keep trying to reload the skin, etc... textures in a new order, but it doesn't seem to work.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not as bad as not usuable, but... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I only have minimal NPC placement experience, but I do know that you set the altitude at which NPC's appear when they first spawn. I only know this because I had to do it when I created a CM companion. I don't remember the key that you press to adjust altitude, but it was described in the instructions that were included with CM Partners for how to create an NPC. Wish I could be more helpful with the specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had little trouble creating a new partner by cloning an already created partner and making changes; what if...I wanted to...say...clone Bernadette Peneles and make the clone a CM...I haven't been successful with that so far, so I am missing something, though the screens all look the same.Thanks again.

majikmonkee Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That's very possible, I don't have the instructions in front of me but you'd probably want to clone a partner from an existing one per the instructions, then you can change the race as needed and copy and paste the face and edit attributes as needed. It sounds complex but it's not too bad, I'm a modding dunce but I was able to learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyssa23 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Copy and paste the face!!!??? OMG! I didn't think that was possible. What are the basics or where do I find them?Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I wish I was at my computer but I'm actually on my phone right now typing this. Basically you open the Construction Set, look for the name of the NPC whose face you want under NPC's, then double click their name and open them. Look for a tab that says something like Face Advanced and you will see a preview of the NPC head and a button that says Copy. Then you just open the NPC file for the character you want to paste the face on, and click the Paste button instead of Copy. You will need to change the race first to match that of whoever the face is coming from, and also edit hair color and style yourself. Hope this helps a bit...

lyssa23 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 The copying and pasting of faces works! That is great news and a lot of fun. It is changing the way I create faces and people. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 You bet! I've had a lot of fun with it too, it's one of the few construction set tricks I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
