Kroekr Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I am new to modding (recently experienced forced age retirement so I have lots of spare time) and decided to make my own follower. I am trying to make a Breton since I don't like the Nord look. Every time I get something from the CK it has Nord default lips and color which I can't change (or figure out how to) and the NPC is so ugly she could make a freight train take a dirt road. I have watched several tutorials and used both the method using RaceMenu and using NPC Photobooth. I don't use an ENB but I can't see how that would help with an NPC mod. I see many beautiful NPC mods so I know it can be done. Can someone direct me to an answer? I have already gone through the CK tutorial concerning NPC creation and it was not effective. Thanks for your help.

Kroekr Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 I have gone through that one. I seem to have the basics down ( or at least I think I do). Under the Character Gen Parts Tab the tints for Lips do not apply (always default pink which blends in with skin). Now that I think about it, the Lip model is always the same also no matter which ones I choose. Edit: I discovered that while using the method in the video on the RaceMenu mod site, I forgot to duplicate the FemaleHeadBreton before editing it which caused the CK to load a default Nord head. I am restarting and will let you know how it goes.
Kroekr Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 I have another question that has been driving me (more) nuts. When I try to display the NPC, the CK tells me it cannot find femalebody_0.dds I have searched the web and my computer with no luck. Can someone tell me where to find it please?
Kroekr Posted August 5, 2016 Author Posted August 5, 2016 I got the NPC looking much better. It is amazing what having the correct head will do. I still cannot get the lip tint to work in the CK. All of the other tints do work.
redrakiton125 Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 When you work with the CK you need to extract the bsa that you want to change, more specifically the meshes bsa in this case. http://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Tutorials
Kroekr Posted August 5, 2016 Author Posted August 5, 2016 As far as I know, I am not working with a BSA. This is an NPC created from scratch, starting with RaceMenu. I cannot get the vanilla lip colors to change in the CK.Thanks for the link. I have read that before but will go back over it.
