change follower appearance

[dragonlove]

is there any way to change my follower appearance using racemenu like i do with my character ??

build body in BodySlide then take the femalebody_0/_1 femalehands_0/_1 femalefeet_0/_1 nifs from "data\ meshes\actors\character\character assets" folder and place in your follower mods folder.

otherwise only way to use racemenu is if there is some kind of mod that scripts your follower to it which i dont think exists.

Afaik there is at least one mod that allows partial use of racemenu on followers and NPCs. It's either BOSSE, Lazy Tools, Manipulator, or another, although I can't recall which. When I boot my game later tonight I'll try to remember to check and hopefully report back here with what I found. (I suspect it's Manipulator but don't want to send you down the wrong rabbit hole)

 

However, while I know it works (to some degree), at least while changing parameters, I have some sort of a hotkey conflict that prevents saving the results, even though the same button works fine when saving a "normal" showracemenu result. (I use M4 on a logitech mouse)

 

And ftr, in case you just need simple changes, Lazy Tools allows modify certain aspects, body weight, scale, and gross proportions (breast and butt size, waist thickness...) , but none of the fine detail we see within racemenu or bodyslide, athough with the few things it can do, it does apply to either a targeted NPC, follower, or the player, as long as they're modifiable bodies in the first place. (some appear to be immune to any change). It also provides other interesting features, but I'll leave them to you if you're interested enough to download it.

 

I'll be back when I can with that info re: direct racemenu use later on tonight or tomorrow.

dragonlove, sorry for the late reply. I meant to get back here days ago, but, well... life. For the record, the mod that provides a racemenu interface for targeted npcs and followers is Manipulator. You will have to search offsite from nexus to find the mod. (LL)

many thanks my friend exactly what i was looking for,turns out this manipulator mod is extremely handy

one question tho when in the manipulator MCM there is an option to learn all perks i used it once but after switching from ordinator to perks maximus my character i cant use it again , is there any way to reuse the learn all perks option again on the same character ?

No clue. I have that mod installed but I haven't used it all that much. I'd recommend you visit where you downloaded it and post a query there for the author and more seasoned users of Manipulator.

 

TBH, although it does allow me to open and use the limited racemenu instance for targeted NPCs and followers, actually "saving" the results of those changes hasn't been something I've done successfully yet. Dunno why but it doesn't recognize my completion key (for me that Key is M4) , even though the normal showracemenu for my character dos so without any problem. And I've even tried changing that key but the results are the same, Manipulator derived, targeted NPC racemenu changes will not save... for me

 

- my reason for downloading was trying to force a 0.96 height character to 1.00 so that during kissing animations - and to be clear, the family friendly kissing animation ftr, not the sexlab/amorous-adventures/whatever-mod-actually-causes-it-to-happen animation where they basically drop their trousers and schtoop when you ask your rank 3-4 follower/companion for a simple kiss - don't result in my character tonguing her eyes and nose . It ain't worked for me yet, but I keep it installed in the hopes that some post or update will come along that resolves that issue.
