Need help with CK and editing custom npc hair

[leyasu]

I am trying to change the hair of one of my custom NPCs with the CK, but the changes don't stick after i save after editing the esp file.

 

This is what i have been doing

 

Open data in CK

Check the hair pack esps as plugin files

Check the NPC esp and set as active

 

Then i search for the NPC in actors

Double Click to enter the character edit screen

I go to the Character Gen parts tab and change the hair to the custom hair i want for the NPC.

I click Ok

 

Then i highlight the NPC and Ctrl+F4 to export data and then save

 

But when i go into the game. The changes i made to the custom NPC's hair does not register and she still has her old hair

 

What am i doing wrong?

 

Thanks and Regards

I think it requires an esm for the master file. and did you add bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 under [General] in SkyrimEditor.ini in your /Skyrim folder?

 

Also if you have a mod that changes that NPC lower in the load order it will overwrite yours.
