I can temporarily fix it using setnpcweight, but once i reload she once again has this neckgap.

 

Hope anybody can help.

I can only suggest changing the character in the CK rather than the console. If you do find a solution or mod it yourself please post back. I too would prefer a female bard for Lakeview Manor.

 

Using your method doesn't "she" still have a creepy male voice?

[Girico]

As i mentioned, i used the ck to change the sex, therefore she also has a female voice(or can potentially have any voice i want). Using the console i can temporarily fix the neck gap, but i am more interested in a permanent solution.

 

Once i get this mod working i will surely share it, since i guess many people want a female bard in lakeview, or a bard who can sing "the dragonborn comes"(it is definitly not acceptable, to have a bard in the dragonborn's house who can't sing this song)

Check to make sure that if using any mods that add custom skeletons and/or body meshes that those are setup properly for whatever race or custom race that that character is using.

I am using cbbe, xp 32 and life face enhancement. Llewellyn is a nord, so there shouldn't be any issues with this.

After searching for quite some time i came to the realization, that there is no way to permanently fix this issue, if an npc is "edited".

 

Seeing that, i was wondering, is it possible to "replace" an npc. meaning i delete the original Llewellyn and replace him with a completely new npc who is targeted by his quests and dialog options? If yes, which original traits do i need to keep?

I had the same problem yesterday when I was fiddling with my Yzolda character. It puzzled me.

I did it before, and the first time I did it the hard way and wrote down Lisettes face codes manually, and then inserted them in Yzoldas character, because I couldn't find her face code in the list (I was dumb. Yzolda is a Nord Race). But it worked fine. There was no neck gap. I played with her for a long time.

Last night I wanted her to have a new Apachii hair style. I was sitting for a while and looking at the different option and found out Lisette was a Breton Race. So, I grabbed her facecode for Yzolda and a new hair style. And I got the face gap plus greyed out face...

Fiddling with it today I did what seemed logical: I had to strech the graphics to cover this gap. The only way I could do this was to increase her weight.

I changed her body to Breton race, moved the weight bar to the top (100) and scaled it to 1,20. The neck gap is gone.

I can't really see the difference in her weight. It looks the same to me.

Before (with neck gap):

After (no neck gap, more weight):

Using NPC Editor is not advised.

Probably not. But if you're no professor it comes in handy. It's easy to use. You can't tell me the Creation Kit is easy to use and getting a grip at?
