Creating Standalone follower, Help Needed

[ivanov13]

I've been struggling with this follower for a good few months, and what started as an attempt to learn how to make followers has yet to see any progress.

 

I'm hoping a more skilled modder can give me some tips and help me complete this follower

 

In attachements there's a reference pic of the source character, as well as the follower results i've been getting. I also included all the files i used to make her.

 

 Thanks in advance

 

 

 Chargen exports:

 Eriana.nif

Eriana.dds

 

 Ref pic:

 

 Attempt result: Eriana follower V2.1.7z

Maybe this will help :-)

Hmmm... From what I see in that thread and the tutorial it seems that thought the follower's NIF matches the exported face, she still uses the appearance determined by the CK. Any idea why that might be?

[azmodan22]

You didnt export the facegendata of the follower from CK and then use nifmerge to merge the nifs exported by CK with the one exported from racemenu.

Basically, this:

 That didn't work; it's what i've been doing this whole time :/ I tried again and pasted the results below in screencaps.

 

 

However, i found this in an editor warning .txt file "FACEGEN: Could not find (and apply) race morph 'AyleidRaceEriana' in TRI file 'Actors\Character\Character Assets\FaceParts\FemaleHeadBrowsRace.tri' for geometry FemaleHeadBrows."

 

 Might the problem be related to the custom race i made for her?

[azmodan22]

It could be. I dont think so though. I have created a few followers from a couple of custom races but I didnt have any issues.

On a side not, from the images you have uploaded it seems that either you have created an extra hairline fro the hair in the CK, of the export is missing one. What you should do is double click on the orange message is nifmerge that says there will be issues with this merge.

Nifmerge must be updated to support all the mods you have installed and used for your character. There is a tutorial in the links I sent you.

 

If you are using a custom race, it could be that nifmerge does not recognise that custom race mod and does not merge the nifs correctly. That message must be green for the merge to work correctly.
