Changing Lydia's Stance - CK

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

Okay - here's a question...

 

When attempting to look up "change Lydia's stance" etc. via Google, pretty much the only answer is "uncheck 'Opposite Gender Anims'".

 

HOWEVER - as many of us have subsequently found out, doing this on it's own doesn't seem to actually result in the idle-stance being changed...

 

SO - what does? What's the additional block to this being able to be easily done? Some people seem to have nailed it, because their Lydia Housecarls use the normal female stance in-game...

 

Anyone know?

(So that it doesn't just disappear)

 

***I'm really still chasing a helpful answer to this one - it's proving an absolute devil to track down on my own...

THen open it, select Lydia from the list and set her stance to 'Female'. But if you ask me, it does the same thing as the CK, and your method should really have worked.

 

I suspect you might have other NPC mods conflicting with your own that keeps resetting the stance Lydia has.

Ugh, wish you could do that in mass ... seeing all those girls walk around as though they're chavs is pretty undesirable D:

I originally tried this in NPC editor, with which I made a whole little series of individual NPC mods for my game, but encountered the same problem - I could check/uncheck the stance option until the cows came home but nothing happened. I have since re-done everything with the CK.

 

The only other mods I have affecting Lydia are cosmetic. I don't use any of the big follower mods - I don't really like or need them.

 

Whatever's blocking the stance-change, it's got me stumped...
