Is it possible to change your appearance in skyrim

JV: Did you remember to exit the console before trying to make your changes? Then you can start editing your character. If you click on anything with the console open you'll get the form id for the object which is a string of hexadecimal characters. When I did it and tried to change my name, it showed some weird code like , or something and wouldn't let me back out. It would be easy to do and make a lot of players happy.

Seems like a no-brainer. Thanks for reading. I recommend you NOT change your race. You can always create a new save, change your race using that save to see what happens, and if it's completely borked, you can just delete the save. Make sure you write down all of your stats first, though. It is possible to fix all of your settings after changing your race by using the console if you're really dead set on it.

Check under Skyrim Console. You can also find all of the editor ids you need there. Justin D on my ps3 it only shows the last 4 times I've saved so how do i change my character, I'm so far into the game i don't want to start over.

I'm just wondering how to change my character? Kensaimage: Thanks for the exhaustive testing and detailed analysis! I'm sure there are a lot of X users out there who will be happy to take advantage of this.

I actually ran into it by myself by accident, and it took me quite awhile to replicate the bug. Justin is on the right track, but he's missing a few crucial steps. All facial "types" must match the base model. For example, you have the second nose selected for the character you want to edit.

This goes for colors, too, and hair and facial hair styles. Like the nose example, it has to be the same "type", but you can shape it however you want with the proportion sliders. Scars must match. If they are present.

I do not know why. Even the minute details MUST match. Even mouth type, but colors as well. This includes lip color, eyeliner, and any eye shadow, etc. And bam, those are the missing keys to the puzzle. Obviously, due to everything needing to macth, the glitch isn't too terrible useful except to maybe give your guy minor tweaks. Say you made his eyes up a bit to high, you can lower them, or trim down his nose or adjust his jawline, etc.

You cannot give him a haircut or add scars, but you CAN add warpaint. Final detail: The game uses your original base model for any modification. Transforming into a werewolf and back will reset your face to what it was when you first made him, and becoming a vampire will do the same. Conclusion: You can tweak the face, but ultimately, only gonna be useful for the really nit picky or for those who wanna try out new warpaint.

I did not test if removing the warpaint is possible. Keep in mind the change will affect ALL of your saves with that character, even if the image on the save doesn't reflect the changes.

So don't freak out, it's still easily reversible, and if you don't have a flashdrive, vampirism is easily cured and can be contracted endlessly. And yeah, the guy that does the ritual is immortal and can't die, and if your a werewolf, transform ONCE and back again and your golden. Justin, On Xbox if we do what you said with the glitch can we then load back to where we were currently playing with our new appearance or would we have to start completely over?

Rokkyu: No. But if you use it to just change your name you may find that your color settings have changed. Whenever you open the showracemenu your skin colors revert to defaults and have to be reset. My hunch is that when you change your race it runs this code but at the wrong time so it's not doing it properly. It doesn't touch your perks because no one starts with perks so it doesn't have to recalculate anything.
