Wipe out housecarl face setting COMPLETELY from existing saves.

[sbbg]

Hi,

Recently I gave CK a try to make some change to the HouseCarlSolitude & HouseCarlRiften by a ESP file.

But I found I want to polish it a bit. This is where SHXT happened.

 

I tried to make some change, but it DID NOT take effect in game. What's more, It was affected by "Dark face bug!"

So I did the "Ctrl+F4" fix, but it WON'T work neither...

( I did make sure the textures was correctly exported. )

 

According to the author of NPC editor, the record of NPC will be cached in the saves first. I selected the NPC and tried:

"disable", "markfordelete" before I save and exit the game, and do "player.placeatme <id>" or "enable" or "resurrect" next

time I start the game at ALL arbitrary order. BUT my HouseCarls' face DID NOT change any bit... :wallbash:

 

May anyone tell me how to "REMOVE NPC record from existing saves COMPLETELY", so that I can enforce Skyrim to load my esp's setting of NPC, please? Thank you.

If the NPC is not refreshing when you simply use resurrect on them then you still have the old mesh and texture overriding the new changes delete those or overwrite with the new ones. Quite simply put resurrect will load the NPC from the esm or esp and not the save file thus answer the question on how to do that.

 

1 thing you are completely doing wrong is deleting and using placeatme, I know Foretrenty did not suggest doing that and dont listen to the person that did.

Thanks for the reply, but after some tries. It only bring me more confusion in fact.

This is extremely annoying especially after it affected by dark NPC face bug.

 

Here is what I try:

1. Use CK to do the export texture (Ctrl-F4) thing.

2. Enter skyrim with ESP overriding the HouseCarls' face.

3. Select my HouseCarl, (in console) "resurrect".

The NPC is resurrected ... with old setting.

 

Then I have to try:

1. setnpcweight <weight>

2. resurrect

The setnpcweight seems to update the hair style, and texture loaded normally.

Only after this, "resurrect" will work with the setting from ESP.... but for this time ONLY.

 

I try to save this, but next time it will fallback to old settings. :wallbash:
