NPC not loading anymore

[Ermmm]

So i created a follower got her to load in game married her loaded my game and she disappeared (she's a broken friend indeed)

 

I opened up CK and have these errors :

FORMS: Form (04002F9A) in file "nu'be.esp" has wrong type.

 

Should be: RACE

Is: NPC_

FORMS: Form (04007ED7) in file "nu'be.esp" has wrong type.

 

Should be: TXST

Is: ACHR

 

MASTERFILE: unrecognized form

First thing I'd do is take the apostrophe out of the filename.  The CK, and Skyrim, are very picky about some things, and that's one of them.

 

Second, I personally would ditch the entire mod and start it from scratch, for the same reason -- the CK and Skyrim both tend to keep things hanging around forever in various memory caches and whatnot.  I'm sure that's not the right term, but I think you get what I mean.

 

I'd also look at the NIF and DDS files for the created character.  Check to be sure the NIF has the correct nodes and the correct skin partitions.  Check to be sure the DDS files (textures and normal maps, as well as environment maps and so forth) are all in the right place.

 

Once you've done that, load the game, without the mod, to a place prior to your marriage, and make a save, then quit to desk.

 

Go into the CK and remake the mod -- saving or backing up after literally every operation you do.  That way if the problem happens again you may be able to track down what part of the process isn't going right.

 

Once you're sure you're finished, put the mod back into your load order and try it in game.

 

I'm not guaranteeing this will work, but it's the process I use when something vanishes after a save, or goes wrong in some other fashion.
