I deleted a race mod I didn't want anymore and forgot to change the race of my character first before I deleted it. Now I have an invisible character, and when I try to open the race menu, it crashes because the race no longer exists in the game. I re-installed the mod, my character is still invisible. Help?

Of course it can be done. Type in the console:showracemenu.

The wiki also sais:
Spoiler:
WARNING: Using this menu will reset all of your skills to their default initial settings. (If you edit your race, instead of clicking "done" when you are done, leave the race menu open with the console up and save your game. When you reload it your race/looks will be changed like you wanted them to be and your skills will not be reset.) Using this command while wearing bound items may crash the game. Your new racial abilities, benefits and weaknesses do not seem to be awarded properly when you use this menu, although the old ones are removed.


edit:Wait....i think i didnt understand your problem..... :oops:

Did you read my post? -.-

Im very familiar with the race menu console command, I use it to make character adjustments all the time, but when I open the menu, and the race mod isn't working properly, the game crashes

OK, not having the race mod installed was causing showracemenu to crash the game. Since you've now reinstalled the race mod, wouldn't showracemenu now NOT cause a crash? You should now be able to select a race OTHER than the one the race mod adds and your character's mesh should appear AS that race and no longer be invisible, If this works successfully to "repair" your character, you can then uninstall the race mod again.

Hope this helps. :wink:

PS. Couldn't resist giving you your 144th damn (1 dozen = 12, 1 dozen dozens = 1 gross = 12*12 = 144), just so I can say, "I give a damn because I'm gross!" :mrgreen:

Unless you can come up with more specific details than that, I can't help. HOW is it "refusing to work? :roll:

I just found out the problem

It is a drow race OMOD download. It gives you several options on how to set up your characters skills and overall appearance. The thing is, there many many many different settings.... and I forgot which ones I used. That means it is not correctly installed for my character

(Rant: People who make downloading mods unnecessary annoying)
