ElderEklund Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I am no modder, but I have been poking about in the construction kit a little bit and learned how to locate npc's and stuff. For my own enjoyment only ( I have no intentions of ever spreading this, ) I wish to sprite up my favourite companion with giving her another hairdo from Ren's hair pack. When you answer this remember I am no modder, I am a gamer, and I have no programming experience what so ever. I think what I need to do is to somehow get the hairpack into the companion file ( duh ) but I have no idea how to do this, and I don't know how I get the option up on the npc sheet so I can make the companion wear the new hair. Can anyone tell me step by step what I need to do to give my companion a new hair ? What I have loaded the companion setting it as active file in the construction kit ( I got the latest version, ) and I have loaded beautfull people as a plugin. So far so good. Then I have scrolled down the list and found the custom hair and the custom eyes that I want the companion to wear. And here is where I am stuck. When I save the companion ( I do have a backup of it and beautiful people incase I screw up, ) and start the game the companion got no hair. ( the none option in the construction kit. ) I know this is a stupid problem but still I would be very gratefull if anyone of you could help me.

TheTerminator2004 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You can't see any hair, because it's in an esp file, and you can't have esp files depending on other esp files, which means it can't use them. There is a way around this, but I'm not 100% sure what it is, so someone else will have to explain it to you, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElderEklund Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I posted this problem on the planet elderscroll forum as well and I got the solution to my problem there. The first thing I did was that I got python and a library for it and I got the wrye Bash program. ( wrye bash demand python and the library ). I then used wrye bash to copy the beautiful people .esp file to an .esm file. I loaded my favourite companion in construction kit and tagged the new esm file. I picked the hair and eyes I wanted and saved the game. THen when I opened up the game again I went into data files and tagged the new esm file. The companion now look the way I want her to look. However I was warned that there might be problems using this method. Things seem to be working just fine for me, but I though I would include that warning incase someone els want to try and do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ah, yes, I knew it was something to do with Wrye Bash... But remember: All your other mods will have priority over beautiful people, so if they change something the same, it'll mess up beautiful people. This is because esm files are always loaded before esp files, so changing the load order has no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
