Using Unique Player, and well I just noticed [since I remain skilled and dont usually get violated, detained, ect] that my Player swaps to the NPC body and not my Unique body. This a bug? And how do I fix it?

It may not be a bugg, but it is kinda annoying........

Every now & then, my straight male character will end up in the female position.

Is there a way for AAF to identify the PC as male only??

🤔

Maybe someone can help me find the right file, i had to roll back to the fallout 4 version before the NG update, and i am getting crashes at AAF start with current discord version, and when i run the AAF file checker, its says AAF not supported and LLFP outdated, the current LLFP was working on the old update just fine, do i need an older version of AAF, if so where can i get it?

You need AAF 172 for pre-NG Fallout 4.

You didn't save your downloads?

I always save mine.

The latest version doesn't use the doppelganger to swap any bodies. So, this shouldn't be possible. Are you using an old version?

This sounds like it has to do with the animation XML configuration. The latest version has some new conventions that work better for gender assignment and leave less room for error. New XML using this stuff isn't out yet. But, it is being worked on. So, stay tuned!

You don't need to use old AAF for pre-NG. The latest release works with both pre-NG and NG.

AAF 1.1.1 works with pre-NG and NG. No need for the old one.

Yes.. I am old.. lol Version 1.7.1 Beta.

Can I upgrade to the new version by just replacing AAF 1.7.1 on mod organizer?

Yes.  Make sure nothing overwrites the LL_FourPlay.dll from AAF (a couple of mods like Real Handcuffs include versions of that file that are newer than AAF 171 but older than 1.1.1 and will therefore break AAF 1.1.1)

I can't be bothered, I click download and I'm directed to a discord server and I don't feel like joining a server to download a mod.

UPDATE: I caved in and joined and wasn't let in, so I wasted my time. Fantastic.

Ooof... yeah I think maybe a fight between the forums moderators and authors is leading to separate ways. And not the Ada missions.

Most likely you just need to read the rules page and follow the instructions there.

No fights there. What are the "Ada missions"?

Ok, adding any kind of beauty mod causes my custom female followers to turn to male.

......and it's random, too. One save may show Nikita as a female, the other as a male.

 

What I'd like to know is what file is THIS SCREEN getting its information from?

What file is AAF reading when this screen pops up with a list of people?

🤔

 

I believe I may be able to put my followers back to female again.

Version 1.1.1 is the latest version.  It works on both the NG version of the game (1.10.984) and the pre-NG version (1.10.163)

It doesn't read any file to populate that list.  It builds that list by scanning loaded area around the player for actors who can be in animations.

 

For determining the actor's gender it checks for the presence of the AAF_GenderOverride_Male and AAF_GenderOverride_Female keywords on the actor.  If one of those is found it will treat it as male or female respectively.  If neither keyword is found it uses the native getsex() function on the actor's actorbase.  It's a C++ function but it's equivalent to akActor.GetLeveledActorBase().GetSex()

Ok, simple question:

How do I add that keyword to my custom female NPC's??

🤔

 

My "script-Fu" ain't the greatest.......

Didn't work, sadly........

 

Selected Kimberly & applied the keyword.

Still a man.

 

New Save, loaded new save.

Still a man.

 

Fast travelled & back.

Still a man.

 

Completely closed down the game & went back in.

Still a man.

 

Rebooted my computer, thinking it was something stuck in memory.

Still a man.

Shot in the dark, but try removing the male keyword, in case it already had it for some reason, then add the female one again.

cf "actor.RemoveKeyword" "AAF_GenderOverride_Male"

then

addkeyword aaf_genderoverride_female

Nope. This is crazy. I know the "addkeyword" command works cause I used it on a minuteman earlier for something else.

AAF still recognizes her as a male.

I don't think it's an AAF issue. The ways that AAF measures gender are few and you've tested that.

 

So, from there, I think there is some problem in the mod you are using. It might even have that NPC set as one gender while using the opposite gender body.
