Creating a follower with Blush Nose Color

[tayelion]

Hello!
Just like the title says, I'm trying to make an npc for the first time, and I want it to look like a clone of my character. (I was using console commands to clone myself but it proved kinda glitchy and inefficient)

 

The problem is, my character has blush effects from the blush nose color mod (http://skyrim.2game.info/detail.php?id=42490), and i'm not really sure how to apply it in the creation kit.

Any help would be very appreciated!

I'm not really familiar with the NPC creation process, but i think that you can simply use CharGen Export to directly export both headmesh and facetint exactly as it appears on your character in-game.

Wow, thank you for the quick response!
Sorry for being a little dumb here, but what do I do with these files once I have them?

Since nobody else answered yet:

 

I never made an NPC with the CK, but i think you can directly use the 2 files produced by CharGen Export (head.nif and .dds), instead of using the CK sliders and head export.

 

Try to put them in the places where the CK usually exports these files.

hmm... ok so
I replaced my NPC's files with the new ones from CharGen Export, and everything works fine from a 3D model perspective, but the NPC's entire face is a much darker shade than their skin. It looks like the way to fix this is to CTRL-F4 from inside the CK, so i'll report back with a result soon.

argh
I'm still getting the dark face

although I may have an idea...

 

 

EDIT: alright, well I think I've done it. I used the Alternate Actors mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36047/?) and controlled the npc I made, and then I used the showracemenu command to load a preset. When I reverted back to my character I had to load their preset as well, because their face somehow got a little distorted, but now I have the NPC I wanted to make! The downside is that Alternate Actors can only remember 10 NPCs though...

 

anyway, the procedure is this:

use racemenu to save your character as a preset, then design your NPC's appearance and save that preset too, make an npc in the creation kit, make sure they're whatever race and gender you want but don't worry about appearance (there are a few easy guides for this online), summon/find them in-game, use alternate actors and load the preset you made for them, return to your character and load their preset, done!
