Want vanilla Lydia back

[jellyhead]

Hi,

 

I tried out a couple of Lydia mods recently, but decided that i'd like to get back the original version of her and try changing her face myself using the NPC creator. Only problem is that I can't get her face back to how it was previously - I've removed all the mods as far as I'm aware but the facemorph is still resembles one of the mods I installed (at least I think it does, it doesn't look like the original face anyway!). The one mod I tried had an esp and two mesh and texture files, and the other mod had just an esp and bsa file. Could anyone explain what's happened and if I can reverse it, and also explain why so I can avoid doing the same in the future :unsure:

 

thanks

 

actually, another strange thing I get is that the face that loads up in the NPC editor is completely different from the face that she loads with in game...

two answers

 

one:

I don't know the details of Lydia so the easiest for you would be to uninstall all mods, delete the contents of the data directory, verify the game with Steam, it'll put back any files you deleted that shouldn't have been. Then start the game once unmodded, then reinstall all the mods you do want.

 

two:

the NPC Editor is supposed to output a face gen data file that when placed in the correct location will apply the correct face tints to the actor when your mod is loaded. Do note tho that when I tried the program I couldn't get it to work. I prefer to use the Creation Kit anyway.

I will try to help you . look at the whole mod file that you DL and delete the same files in ur skyrim folder. If that doesn't work then you can use FO3 archive utility to extract the original BSA files and copy and past. Or you have a mod that changes female face or something. I hope this helps you. Or it could be a mod that changes breezehome and they accidentally changed Lydia? I don't know just trying to trouble shoot.
