New modder has basic problem

[Indignant]

I've decided to try my hand at experimenting with the creation kit because of something that is really bugging me in game. Lydia's walk animation is driving me crazy. I know it's one simple little thing but I cant stand to see her walk like that anymore. I know that there's a NPC program on the nexus that will do what I want but I've taken this as an opportunity to take the CK out for a spin. I've booted up the kit and got Lydia to show up in the render window. I've checked off the radio button that makes her use opposite sex animations. I've saved the file as a esp and loaded it with the nexus loader. She still walks like a man. I've re loaded the esp that I've made and she still walks like a man. I'm pretty sure I'm leaving out something really simple but I can't seem to find out what that is.

I don’t know what you mean by “loaded it with the nexus loader.”

When you create a Mod with the CK, it’s automatically installed in your Skyrim game, you don’t need to do anything.

Anyway, if your changes aren’t appearing in-game, either another Mod is overwriting them or they aren’t being applied for some reason.

I'll help you work this out, but if you're missing something small, you'll need to give all the small details.

So far, it looks like the Mod isn't loading but I can't yet see why.
