Easy NPC Creation with Creation Kit problem

[xorterenshe]

I've created an NPC with the YgNord race (part of the Pretty Face mod) using the Easy NPC Creation mod. I did all the steps to get it into the Creation Kit. I can then create a new NPC and import the visual data created by the Easy NPC Creation. There are some minor issues there, in that the hair style/colour or facial effects (like the freckles from the More Freckles mod) wont be the same as when I was originally making the character, but they're an easy fix. The real problem comes in when I try to play the game.

 

So, I've looked through various tutorials on how to properly make a follower. I do all the steps and place it where I want it in an interior of some place in the game world (like inside the Bannered Mare). When I get to the door to the Bannered Mare and go to enter it, the game CTDs.

 

I tried even using an existing companion mod and just changed the character to be the one I wanted to create, not editting where it would spawn or its scripts. But, the game would still crash.

 

Thus, I think it must be the Pretty Face mod (which is two mods together: Enhanced Character Edit and Race Compatibility. The only other files I have active when finalizing the character in CK are the Apachii hairs and, of course, the Skyrim and Update ones.

 

Does anyone know of a fix or way around this? I really want to make a follower using the Pretty Face mod.

Beth accidentally the whole Creation Kit. Modifying races and armors is now impossible. Wait for an update (within 5 months).

Even for a non-1.6 updated version? That is the current version, right? I always (ALWAYS) deactivate auto-updates for games from Steam (unless they're online only ones). I wait to see if there aren't any problems with new updates before I go ahead and get them (which has been a saving grace a few times with Shogun 2.)

 

But the version I'm using is, I think, 1.5.24. Perhaps the one before it. All I know is I heard there were some problems with 1.5.26, so I never upgraded to it.

The CK is the program that did a "silent" update without anyone knowing apparently, and It's the CK causing the problems ... There is no real issue with updating Skyrim to the latest version, it fixes a lot of problems and does improve stability and performance ... HOWEVER ... Check ALL your mods for compatibility before upgrading, because although vanilla Skyrim is improved, it DOES break a few mods ...
