MesaSolar Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I am attempting to use a racemenu preset for a custom follower. I used the in game export feature by typing "spf mycharacter" into the console. This generated the necessary .npc file. I then went into the CK and selected Import for the Character Gen Parts tab, found my .npc file inside data/skse/plugins/chargen and opened it. But there are no changes in game. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWGamimg75 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately -- based on my experience, NPC files will make changes to the weight, skin color, eye color, race and character gen sliders (and probably a couple of other things I missed) -- however -- changes to the sliders made in RM will not translate well in an NPC file once imported into CK, probably because RM uses a lot of extra sliders that might not line up to the CK's character gen sliders. The result will be that the follower will look different than what you created in RM. The key to making your follower look as you intended --when using RM -- is to export the head mesh from RM and then place those exported files in their appropriate locations -- the tutorials below will tell you how to do all that. When I created followers, I would set their desired race, weight, skin color, etc and then sculpt their head in RM -- well change different sliders here and there, I didn't get too crazy with the actual sculpting part, just some smoothing here and there. When things looked the way I wanted them to look, I exported the head mesh -- VERY necessary step. Lastly -- before I delved into the CK, I would create an NPC file, like you did, just so the weight, skin color, race would be auto-set when I imported the NPC file into the CK. I hope some if that made sense because I would maybe need to explain completely how to create a follower using RM -- and that can get extensive. Instead it would be better to check YouTube for complete RM follower creation tutorials to maybe see if there's something you missed, just in case :smile: Below are some great tutorials that I have used personally. I hope it helps! :smile: and GL! Asherz makes a great tutorial below, very thorough.
