Henrydylan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi all, I did a search but can't find any info. Can anyone tell me how to change an NPCs name, i.e. Lydia to Linda, etc. Please.Is there a console command or a MOD?Thanks.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinobi Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is very easily done in CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrydylan Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah ok, thanks for that, no need for the rudeness tho, I'm not a modder so had no desire for the CK, thought perhaps a console command would do it. We can't all be smart-arses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinobi Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I didn't mean to come off as rude...It's just the easiest way I can think of to accomplish this. Open skyrim.esm in CK.Type HousecarlWhiterun in the filterNavigate to Actors>Actors Once you find Lydia with the ID HousecarlWhiterun.Double click, the actor info should come up.Proceed to renaming Lydia to whatever you like(Don't change the ID in this case)Save your new ESP to your data folder.Activate it. You should see the changes in-game.You don't need experience as a modder to do this. Edit: Now that I think of it. It would be easier to download the NPC Editor: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4554That should save you a lot of time.

Henrydylan Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Hi Rinobi, thankyou for your kind advice. I downloaded the CK last night. I will give it a go, thankyou.I think I got hold of the wrong end of the stick, I read your Sig "Open your eyes" and mistakenly thought it was directed at me. My deepest apologies. Edit.Just done it with the CK. Brilliant, thanks for all your help. Sorry for before. Edited May 31, 2012 by Henrydylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodfellowGoodspring Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Nice to see you have managed to change their names! You picked one of the most simplest functions you can do in the CK, i don't see why people think creating 'mods' will be a daunting task, your only changing a name how hard can it be to do! :O However at this time the CK is very buggy, if you encounter NPCs with dark faces you have come across one of the most annoying ones and will need to follow this to fix it- Clicky this tends to happen when you open up the NPC window and edit.

Arturiousrye Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a simular question to this. I have a horse from convenient horses, a dwemer spider from sperg and two dwemer dogs from the dwemer dogs mod. I want to name them and I tried following your steps but I can't figure it out.

Shivala Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 EFF allows you to change the nickname of a follower. No need for CK :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
