Creation Kit Help

[Kovya]

What I'm trying to do:

 

There is an actor, Lady of Bones, added by a mod, F.E.M.A.L.E., Whose face I want to change to that of Uthgerd, who's face is edited by the mod SBF. 

 

 

What I did:

 

 

I find the lady of Bones actor in the creation kit, 

double click,

under the Template Data box I uncheck all except use Traits,

I change ActorBase to Uthgerd,

the face in the preview changed to that of uthgerd,

everything looks good in the Creation Kit.

Save, exit, start Skyrim.

 

 

 

What Happens:

 

 

I find a Lady of Bones in a dungeon,

unlike in the Creation Kit the face has not changed to that of Uthgerd's

 

 

 

 

Please help

Select the NPC in the Actor list and do a Ctrl+F4. This will export the nif and textures for the face.

After I hit ctrl+F4 do I have to go find the .nif and textures or is it magically done now?

[Guest]

Ctrl+F4 saves the nifs in Data\meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\<name of the mod in CK>.esp\

and the textures in Data\meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\<name of the mod in CK>.esp\

 

So as long they are in the correct activated mod, they will be used.
