How To Make an NPC Playable

How to make a NPC playable

by: jackmix69

This Miscellenious Tutorial will teach you how to make an NPC, such as Baurus, playable. Its kinda fun, im playing as the villian of the game using this technique. I wish to pass on the info on how to do it if you are interested in doing this yourself. This technique requires a new game to be started.

For this tutorial, we're going to use Baurus as the playable NPC. Lets begin.

1) Load up the CS

2) When its done loading, go under NPC>Imperial and find Player, right click and choose edit

3) Set it to the race that the NPC you want to make playable is, in this case, Baurus, would be redguard

4) Go to face advanced, and leave it alone for now

5) Go under NPC>Redguard>Male

6) Find Baurus

7) Right click on him and go to edit, then Face Advanced

8) Have both boxes (player and baurus) open and near each other

9) On baurus's box, under face advanced choose "Copy"

10) On players box, choose "Paste" he now looks like baurus, but we are not done yet.

11) Go under both Baurus's and Player's "face" tab now

12) Look at all of Baurus's values there and copy them onto the player

13) Be sure to change the hair style and eyes too!

14) Press "Ok" when finished with baurus's box

15) Since Baurus is a blade, lets give the player version of him (You) full blade armor and a akiviri katana

16) In the Player box choose the inventory tab and clear it all out

17) Go into Weapons>Akaviri and find the sword you want

18) Drag it into the players inventory. It should now be listed in

19) Go into Armor>Blades and place the following into the players inventory: BladeShield, BladeBoots, BladeGauntlets, BladeCuirass, BladeHelmet, BladeGreaves

20) The Player should be all set. Now save the .esp and name it something like BaurusPlayable

21) Start a new game, and by default you should now be baurus when you get to the facegen menu, armor and all :-)

22) Enjoy playing as whoever you made playable

If you want an example on this, I made mannimarco playable awhile back and can be found here: http://www.tessource.net/files/cache/4920.html

Enjoy!
