Converting custom follower to playable

[Arcturus7777]

I know there are ways to convert a custom follower to playable and there is. A thread here where WAS doing conversions.

 

I have used CK to save a npc face as a preset, but it is not good enough, especially for custom npcs.

 

I want to learn how to do this myself. I googled and can not find info. I believe malina(sp) and arc of truth were doing conversions.

 

What is required, and how do you do it? Anyone know where the info is hiding.

EDIT: Those conversion threads became obsolete since Racemenu3+ came out.

that is a better way to get the head into the racemenu.  I had ignored that vid as it had no voice, I guess gopher has spoiled me.LOL

 

Anyway I still have the problem of it not looking like the NPC, in this instance I was using morrigan, from here in LL.  There are two sets of eyes overlapping each other with an offset for the first problem.

if i really wanted so badly to look exactly like the follower i want, i would create a custom race with all the assets of the downloaded follower, then use race menu to put the head.

If we are talking about the same Morrigan then that's a custom made head mesh I think.  In that case you have to create a custom race like Urek said.  I've never done it myself so can't help you there.

Yes, morrigan has a citrus head according to the mod.

You should be able to import CITRUS head if you have CITRUS installed.  It's a shame how few custom followers use CITRUS.  Morrigan's other head parts might be custom made or painted on though.  I have never looked that closely into it and they are beyond my ability.  You could try ask Morrigan's author.

there's no need to do that

 

saw some doing that

-create an item that have sbp_32,33,30,37...

-make that item load the head, body, armor...

-equip that item in game, it remove your head, body, armor... and your char become... whatever you put in that nif

and there's bodychange

-renumber the head you want to one of bodychange

-copy paste

-some nifs and textures to copy paste in the folder (faster than making the esp load them where they are)

-and switching to that bodychange profile in game give you whatever you put in that profile

 

 

 

a nord with v4 body and skyrim head

a nord with v4 body and head

a nord with another v4 body and head

you can become chickenborn if you feel like it (a nord with a chicken body, when chickenborn use a weapon, it move above its head)

 

 

 

 

 

that sounds really great!  I do not understand it though, what is sbp, are you using CK?  I see the bodychange mod, is this a tricky way of using that mod?
