NPCs height issue Tall and Short

[lonewanderer345]

Started to notice some of the NPCs in my latest game are taller than normal...like 1.1 taller...and Sturges was like 0.9 shorter.

I 'fixed' Sturges by changing his height to 1.1 using FO4edit, but I wouldn't know where to start fixing random NPCs (I guess I can identify them in console and try and trace them in FO4edit).

Anyone experienced this? is it a feature of a mod that I may be using and unaware of...note, I've checked NPC ht records in FO4edit and all are set at default 1.0 min and 1.0 max, so its as if some script is doing this rather than something in an .esp

Thanks In advance.

 

EDIT: Traced this to the 'New Settlers' mod I had loaded as part of the BiRaitBec mod list.....randomises heights from 0.97-1.1 across a range of settlers, guards and NPCs that draw from those pools, such as Kingath's Salvagers.

I still can't explain Sturges, but bugs being bugs (like Preston's laser musket suddenly being invisible 15 hours into the game, when it was perfectly fine up until that point) I guess some things are a mystery.
