varkonasnorse Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I have decided to take the noble walk thru the venerable door to the CK. My first attempt, however, has of course failed. I took a modded character, named Aetia, and attempted to change her hair style from that godawful straight Nord mess to a ponytail. Anyone who has ever played Aetia knows she is just flat out gorgeous, and the best feature that makes her that way is those wonderful, full, dark red lips. Well, of course I managed to bork that. She is still very attractive without them, but she ain't gorgeous now, if ya know what I'm sayin'. I tried re-configuring her lips in CK. I got no error messages and it saved ok. But, in the game those beautiful red lips are gone. I tried disabling/enabling her in game to no avail. I want those lips back. Can I get any help on this? Pleeze! Thanks in advance. (I'm probably too old to be doing this anyways.) I apologize if I have incorrectly posted this in the wrong place.

Evangela Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm taking a shot in the dark here. You can try reinstalling the textures. You might have overridden then with your changes made to her in the CK. So take the textures from the archive and reinstall them, overriding the previous ones. Maybe someone with more experience with modding textures can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niborino9409 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Need more info. If she is a standalone follower it could be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with more experience with modding textures can help. I don't see her specifically in any custom files for her alone. Just a .bsa and .esp loaded into data folder. I don't have the tools to open the .bsa to see what's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varkonasnorse Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Need more info. If she is a standalone follower it could be tricky.She is. I believe she is a vanilla Breton preset with a custom Nord face. She is not using any fancy stuff like Apachii Hair or CBBE and the like. Strictly vanilla. All that was with her files was an .esp and a .bsa and no extra folders. Just thought I could get away with changing her hair style. Live and learn I guess.

Niborino9409 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Could you link the mod? Hm, I just realized I don't have my computer to try anything but seeing the mod page helps at least :) Edited December 22, 2017 by Niborino9409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, just go to Steam and search Workshop files for Aetia. She should pop right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niborino9409 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Why not link it directly instead of having me search it? I'm lazy. But judging by the picture, you should be able to just change her hair and export the facegen. Unless that's what messed her up in the first place. Because what isn't clear in your first post is whether you exported her facegen again with ctrl + f4. But if her head is custom the textures she has are set inside the facegen mesh I assume so exporting it will revert her to what you have in your game. Edit: I searched and doesn't sound like she is unique. So in that case you should be able to just change her hair and export the facegen again.

Did the link not show up, cuz I got it on my screen here. Yes I used the CTRL+F4 for the export. The rest of her is complete, and she has the ponytail. She also functions like normal. Only the lip color is gone. I appreciate you taking the time to check her out for me. Maybe I'll just reload her original file and say the hell with it for now.

Niborino9409 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 No idea why her face would change if you just change the hair. But you did mention that you "borked" the lips. So if you redownload her and only edit the hair it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
