Turning Save Game Player into NPC?, Does anyone know how to do it? Options

[mALX]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with something.

I DL'd a mod of a very handsome Dunmer male Player character (who is a "save game" mod). I was wanting to keep his appearance, but make him into an NPC or follower, either one doesn't matter.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Very brave of you, Renee!

I've been freely 'tweaking' and adjusting the mods of others for quite sometime. But only within the last month or two did I actually create my own mods from scratch -

1. Better Bosmer - this simply changes all female Bosmer in Skyrim to the small size that I want Buffy to be and tweaks their starting skill bonuses, racial powers etc. The nice thing is that there are so few female Bosmer in the game (beyond generic bandit archers) that Buffy still feels quite unique.

2. Superian tweaks - for some time now, Buffy's been wrestling with SkySuperian being either the black & white paint or palomino. The problem with black horses is the same as in Oblivion - they wash out and the black sort of looks like simply a 'lack of color'. The palomino, by contrast, has very rich detail that really shows on its coat. As Buffy's been changing back and forth, I got tired of getting one horse, then the other. So we just changed the Solitude player palomino to a black and white. The result is: mod checked = black & white / mod unchecked = palomino. If Superian really does go permanently blond, we already have things set up in Oblivion to have ObivSuperian become a blond clydesdale as well.

I have the same problem with the black horses in Skyrim - they tend to be more brown than black. I always found the black horses in Oblivion to be realistic and immersive, especially with Slof's textures. I miss those textures in Skyrim - I really wish Slof would do something like that.

Oh well, if I were unemployed (no! no! not again!) then I would use the time to learn NifSkope and Blender and all that jazz and fix Skyrim's horse textures. Now that I'm volunteering at the local therapeutic riding program, I have access to real live horses once again. I always felt that the shaggy creatures look so unimmersive, but I understand that long fur is difficult to render realistically. But no, I have too many ideas and not enough time. I haven't even cracked the Skyrim CK yet!

It is for that reason that Alise's favorite mount is the Riften grey. It is the best looking horse in all of Skyrim, IMHO.
