Fix Fish Face (Beard CC)

[Vladearg]

Ok. There just HAS to be a mod for his already.

Im completely new to the modding world, and much of it is a little daunting.

I just got "more hairstyles" to work (though not with DAOMM) started up a new character, and was astonished that the PC version still has Fish Face Warden.

 

Fish face is when you create your warden, change his beard, and suddenly you are unable to alter the jaw/mouth preferences and the warden has his cheeks thinned out. It looks like a fish face. Or like my warden is severely malnourished.

 

Is there anyway around this?

I just want to make a manly warden with long hair (most of the long hair options in "more hairstyles" seemed pretty feminine) and the ability to choose what my beard AND face looks like.

 

I just could not take my warden seriously on the console because of his hollowed out cheeks.

The "Fish Face" issue is due to incompatible, or incompletely installed facemorph mods. Something isn't right in the chargenmorphcfg.xml tables. Either there are missing entries for resources you have, or entries pointing to missing resources.

 

My advice is to remove ALL facemorph mods, ensure that the vanilla CC works correctly, then reinstall the ones you really want.

 

I tried this when I had only "more hairstyes installed. Nothing else.

I went back and removed ALL of my mods, so all I had was the DAO: ultimate edition from Steam.

 

And Still I get fish face every time I try to change my beard in the character creator for human male.

I had the same problem on 360

Note how mouth and jaw/cheeks are greyed out.

I did find a way to somewhat fix this.

 

If you edit your jaw/cheeks before and then instead of using the slider (dragging it) click on the slider instead at the right point for which facial hair you want and it will keep your settings. (Sometimes the face will clip with the beard, hence why bioware greyed it out after selection). If you do any adjustments afterwards however, it will revert back to how it was before. So I recommend doing this last before finalizing your character.

 

I found this out while messing with the character creator w/ default presets. I wondered how they made the presets without it happening and finally figured out the trick.

 

Cheers.
