New save profile when using showracemenu to change appearance


Recommended Posts

Posted

If you use the showracemenu command to change appearance the game seems to think it's a new character and puts the saves in a new "character slot". I think it's annoying(at one time I got a bug that removed all makeup when this happened). Is there a way to get all saves under the same profile like it was in LE, or prevent the game from seeing it as a new character?

Not sure, but I think that's associated with BOSSE. Or at least, I get the same behavior from BOSSE, Been trying to figure that one out myself., Does yours also strip your armor/etc after you choose (I choose default body)? That really ticks me off.

I'm not using bosse, but it seems to be the default SE behaviour to use different slots for different characters, because it's always been like that for me. Even before I had installed a lot of mods. I found another guy who tried to get help with it here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7141786-racemenu-saves-games-under-new-character-slot-is-there-a-solution/

 

The last comment in that thread is so tryhard I don't know if I should laugh or cry. It's not even a solution.

It is vanilla behavior. Whenever you get the prompt to enter you character name after exiting showracemenu the game will treat that character as a different one and filter its saves in a different profile. This happens even without mods, if you don't make any changes in the menu or if you keep the exact same name. I wonder if the face sculptor gives a different result (and if there is a console command to easily enter that menu), as that menu is more limited and should avoid the name prompt.

The face sculptor doesn't create a new character slot, i think it's due to racemenu asking for your characters name when you press done which creates a new character slot while face sculptor doesnt. Face sculptor is the way to go but she is in a very inconvenient spot

FWIW, I found a mod on Nexus that provides a book (A Change of Face) you read to access racemenu, and which overrides the "new game vector" behavior when entering racemenu from console via the "normal" means.

It's okay. I solved it with Limited Race Menu. It doesn't make the game think I've started a new character.
