Get and Apply NPC Appearance Data

[GiantDwarf01]

Hi, Iâm fairly new to creating mods and I was curious if there was a way to use a script to get the face and body gen info from an NPC and apply it to the player via a spell or equip or something? Also if itâs possible to apply a characterâs face model to some custom head gear and/or body to armor?

Not sure about body, but face is sometimes possible. Using the Racemenu mod, there is also a supplement called "mimic plugin". When you have both installed, you can use the console command "Player.equipspell (spell ID#) left". Then face and cast the spell on the desired NPC. Your face will now shift to be the same as the NPC MORE OR LESS. Sometimes the colors and exact details don't carry over, especially if it is a downloaded NPC with unique textures. But it should work for all vanilla NPCs.

 

Then you open racemenu using the console command "Showracemenu" and save it as a preset. Don't save your game unless you want the character you used to keep that face in that file of course. You can then use the preset in a new file, or I think also creationkit if you know how.

Hm the issue is I donât want to just change my player externally, but rather Iâm attempting to make a sorta mimic disguise mod that allows for swapping appearances
