Ringoblackknight Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm new to mods and stuff, so I was wondering if there was a way to make my character's body different from the NPC's bodies? I used a body replacer and it changes all the females to the same body type as my character. I have changed the raiders female bodies to a different replacer. this is the mod i'm using: DIMONIZED TYPE3 Body Replacer.If anyone can help, that would be appreciated.

mojodajojo Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Make your character a different race than everyone else. (It can be a copy of one of the vanilla races.) Edit: Bad answer I just woke up. You'd also have to change where the new race pulls it's body models and textures from. Still it would only take a few minutes if you have the right knowledge. Also, if you were already mid-game you'd have to use the console to switch to the new race. Edited March 31, 2011 by mojodajojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to ask, but i'm fairly new at modding and installing mods.By the way, I usually feel the same way after waking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulscath Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Maybe something like Play as Alice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringoblackknight Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I went to the link and read up on it. It wont let me do anything on the races tab, let alone edit the main panel to add another race. What am I doing wrong?By the way, thank you for the help so far, I couldn't have gotten this knowledge without someone pointingme in the right direction.

apaosha Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've done this myself. It's a pain in the ass. You've got to create a custom race and assign the body meshes you want to use to that race only. Name it Alice or Cali or whatever. Then in the chargen screen choose your custom race. The PC will be the only one with alice/cali/whatever. I did Alice, with tattoos. The main trouble is when the game switches you from or to a child race, like in vault 101 or Tranquility Lane. When this happens you can get switched off of your custom race to a default one (ie asian) and lose all your perks. On top of that, if you have broken steel installed, the game script that starts the 2 weeks later bit won't recognise your custom race and you won't be able to continue after finishing Take It Back. Look here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15265 .... for all the relevant information on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringoblackknight Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Cool, Thanks guys. I got it to work. I downloaded Alice by the link, then customized alice with dimonized, then I went into the regular character folders and replaced the bodies with another body type than my own. If I knew how to build a mod, I would set this one up for downloading, going to have to do a little research.Oh I want to thank all who have answered my questions and gave me a way to get it done. Oh, and thank apaosha for the download and info for broken steel, I didn't see that one coming You guys are awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringoblackknight Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Now I have found another problem. I have several mods loaded along with play as alice. The main ones being Lings packs 1 and 2, Coiffure and pretty things. The problem is that Play as alice has hairpack with it, and I chose not to install over the top of lings stuff. After doing that, I was able to change my charactrs hair and eyes just fine, but none of the NPC's hair is coming from lings anymore, all of the females have a short haircut other than my character, which is using a different hair style. The eyes of the NPC's seem to be working from lings, and the outfits, just not the hair. Is there a workaround or fix for this? I have FO3Edit, GECK, and FOMM, still learning how to use them though, so I would need a total breakdown of how to fix it if using one of these. Again, I appreciate the help guys!
