RedEnchilada Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hey yall, I've recently been having some issues when trying to edit Curies appearance. I went into the console and cloned her , then proceeded to edit her in the slm. I deleted the clone then went back to normal curie and changed her to the new model. All went fine until I decided to fast travel, upon arriving curie was fully invisible, I tried disabling her and re enabling her but that didnt work. Any tips?

LarannKiar Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'd use Face Ripper.. using the console on Curie to change her appearance is a very bad idea. With Face Ripper, you can save the preset you created into an .esp file. An .esp or .esl plugin is the best method to change the appearance of an NPC.

I just tried this but it works the same as the cloning method. Resulting in an invisible Curie. The only difference is that after LM manipulation she becomes visible though looking nothing like her preset and her hair stretched off her head. Looking at the plugin file produced by Ripper, only 3 facial elements were carried over. That would explain the featureless look. This seems to be a common problem using presets with mod hairs like Skyhair. The only real solution is just to add the preset normally in-game and then recycle. After recycling they6 will retain the preset perfectly forever. Not sure what the individual process performed during recycle is that influences this. Would be nice to isolate to avoid losing quest/romance states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaverage Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 This is the way to change Curie: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/images/193449/ If she is invisible afterwards you can try to open console and disable her, afterwards enable. The ID should be 00102249. Or you can try to click on the invisible Curie and disable/ enable her. This should bring Curie back, but it might be that she wears her vanilla clothings after that.

Thanks but that's the "Clone" method I mentioned above. Doesn't work for certain mod/body configurations. Neither does Disable/Enable toggle. Plenty of reports on this typically from people using mod hairs. Could also be linked to body mods, but all evidence would point to hairs with physics. Simply recycling works perfectly to correct it, but as above you lose character state if applicable. The only other workaround I could find was to use Amazing Follower tweaks - which has a recycle function with character retention built into it. Just tested this a few minutes ago, worked perfectly. But, this mod is highly problematic according to player testimony and something I likely won't keep installed. Uninstalling the mod is apparently a good way to kill your game. If only I could figure out how to isolate the recycle function from that mod. I have already extracted the scripts from the AFT mod, can't make much sense of it right now as I have never dealt with Pex before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaverage Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Yes, it's the clone method, but I wouldn't have written my post when I did not use this method myself successfully. I changed the clone with Looksmenu and disabled it afterwards. Then disabled/ enabled Curie et violà there she is in her new beauty. Even with hair from Azar's ponytail mod. Maybe other hair mods make more problems. To change her body I use Unique Player and Followers Redux. Did you try to barter with the invisible Curie and simply change her clothings?

Yeah I've spent the entire day trying the clone method. Disable/Enable does not help at all. Changing items has no effect either, other than slightly reducing any artefacts emanating from the body. Cell transitioning, Toggling race, Save/loading nothing either. The hair she is using is either from KS-Apachiiskyhair or Azars. Also using Eyes of Beauty. But another contributing factor might be the body setup. I have a pretty convoluted setup for unique player body, half a dozen files for skeleton and bodies, physics etc.. it's all a bit hazy for me at the moment. Funny thing I have problems using presets even on my own character, resulting in the same funky anomalous lightshow of dancing textures. Not all but some. I think I'm just going to recycle her and be done with it. Hopefully setting her affinity to 999 will correct her state upon next reaction. I'm also hoping this doesn't result in a duplicate affinity perk glitch lol. Appreciate you trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
