Zinodin Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Hello! I'm just altering a standard companion, Veronica. I check FalloutNV.ESMLings.ESM I located Veronica in the NPC list.I altered her hair-color, hairstyle and inventory. I hit save. I create an ESP. I load it. But she shows up unaltered. I am using Nexus Mod Manager (FOMM just won't work on this computer), but I've unchecked my old Veronica stuff before launching the game. Thoughts?

Zinodin Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) The feedback doesn't have to be the most accurate someone has ever said. I'm just wondering... Should I have saved Veronica differently, or does it sound like there's an issue with the load order? Is everything I did entirely incorrect? Just give me an idea or two please :) Edited June 2, 2012 by Zinodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Have you got the esp open in something else? I've had one not save when the same esp has been open in FNVEdit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinodin Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Well thanks for the suggestion! Yesterday, I had a bit of a clutter going on.. I had Nexus Mod running in the background. I tried to open and close my ESP-file in GECK while running it in the background like a boss. Of course that just made things a lot more messy and complicated. So I no longer do that. And it actually lead me closer to my real issue. Veronica's hair gets altered, but not to a Ling's hair-type. So when I go in-game.. Fallout gives her a normal haircut. So.. How do I make the Lings haircut show up in-game without it reverting to a normal haircut? Ideas? Edited June 2, 2012 by Zinodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 The following should work. Fire up the GECK and make sure both FalloutNV.ems and Lings.esm are checked.Set your mod as the active file.Find Veronica and open her properties.Click on the "Head Parts" tab and select a hair.Save. http://i.imgur.com/bDeZ6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinodin Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Done. But that is my issue. After doing so, I load the mod up. Veronica's face is altered to my liking, but her hair shows up as a vanilla haircut. I tried other people's lings mods, and the same thing happens to their mod too.

JimboUK Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 That's bizarre, is it loading last to ensure nothing else is putting her back to normal? If you could zip up the esp, put it on mediafire or something and PM the link then I can see what happens with it in my game, they way we'll know if the game or the esp.

Zinodin Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Alright. Thanks a lot, Jim! To be honest though, I found a mod of Veronica that actually showed up properly. I re-modded that to my liking and it worked. However, I have the same problem with Cass, who I want to alter next. So I'll send you a file of her instead. http://www.mediafire.com/?7x472cjra9lcj3m Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Very odd, I'm getting the same thing, the new hair is showing the GECK but not in game. As a test I created a new hair, added it to her race and then changed her hair to that new one. http://i.imgur.com/AGaEy.jpg and it worked. http://i.imgur.com/D1iJI.jpg The game seems to be ignoring the esm. I guess the easiest way around it is to do the hair for Cass as I've done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinodin Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think I know what my problem was.. In my folders Meshes\characters\hair\Textures\characters\hair\ None of the lings files are there. Lings was only installed through my nexus mod manager. I didn't manually extract them to their appropiate locations, thus the game had a problem locating the files for Lings customized characters. I'm going to toy around some more and just make sure I'm correct about that. In any case, I can now create a customized haircut for Cass if it still doesn't work. Thanks a lot for bouncing ideas with me, Jim. :) I couldn't have done it without your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
