trouble with custom races

[suzakuotsu]

i was doing some editing to make everyone in my oblivion a elf, makeing males mystic elves and females cute elves,when i tried to change lex into a mystic elf he kept turning into a vampire by default in the CS after i saved and ran the game, it also crashed when i went into a zone that he was in, what am i doing wrong, how can i make him just stay a elf?

Try the Mod Troubleshooting forum sect. next time :thumbsup:

the guys that post here with other problems then the Construction Set

but you might have to make the entire race of imperials into this elf race, not change them all individually. look in "Characters > Races.." on the CS toolbar

idk why he would turn into a vampire, that may have nothing to do with what you did to him in the CS.

It has actually, you will have to duplicate the race you want to make him, then use that duplicated race as the default one on the NPC, if you don't do the duplication, the race you want will NOT be saved on your custom esp, which causes the face textures to reset to a blind, bald vampire. :P You will have to do the same process with hairstyles & eye textures. Another option is to just go to the root and modify the race esps you have as the active files and put them to the very bottom in the load order, which should work, if not, refer to option 1.

I had to struggle with this for a bit when making my CM partner mods, but after figuring it out, this was quite a simple task. :)
