How to use the PC's face for an NPC. Game: TES V: Skyrim1). Start Skyrim and either start a new game, or load a game.
2). If the game is being loaded (rather than started as New), open the console (press tilde key) and enter the showracemenu.
3). Create the appearance the same way you would create any other character you were going to play. Exit the character creation screen and save the game.
4) Open the console (tilde key) and type 'SPF' followed by the name of your character, but without spaces. Since my character is named Maya Purse, I just typed
SPF MayaPurse. Exit the console, close the game.
Have a look into the main Skyrim folder. The character just made should be in this folder, with an extension of .npc. Yes, I am seeing MayaPurseFace.npc in this folder.
5). Open the Creation Kit and create a new NPC, or find an NPC whose face you wish to change. In the Traits tab, set the race and gender the same as the Player Character just made. So if the PC is a Nord Male, the NPC must also be male, and Nord.
6). Pick a voice from the VoicesFollowerNeutral formlist.
7). Click the Character Gen Parts tab, push the Import button. This button is on the upper-right side. The Skyrim folder should open, but sometimes it takes a few seconds to do so.
8). Find the .NPC file, double left-click on it. Voila.
Make any other changes necessary.
If the NPC is going to be made into a follower, here is my link for that.
