Is it possible to change your sex in Fallout 3? I know about the facial surgery from Pinkerton, but I want to change my sex.

Is it possible? (With PC version)

[spammster]

yes it is, ignoring that your doing a sexchange operation in the wastelands, this is how you can do it:

player.sexchange 0 (makes you male)
player.sexchange 1 (makes you female)

or you can do it like this:

player.sexchange
switches to the opposite sex

sideinfo: if your hair is no longer accepted for the new gender, the default hair is used
you could also use: showracemenu, go back one step and select your gender an create it like you would want it to look

Yes. There is a console command for doing all the things you would do at Pinkerton's.

I don't recall exactly what it is, but it's something like showracemenu. That's what it is in Oblivion, and FO3 uses most of Oblivion's old codes.

EDIT: GRRRR! Well, he beat me to it, but there ya go.

yes, showracemenu does still work & it allows for adjusting the appearance as well.

nice command. gotta try

[Nagaoka]

Wow. I just tried this command in Oblivion.


Big mistake


Note to self: Read up on new console commands before actually using them! Lucky the character was brand new and still level 1.

showracemenu works with "developed" characters, as long as it is only cosmetic things you are changing (I think ... anyway, changing a downloaded savegame character from male to female didn't screw up the SPECIAL, Perks or TAGs). Changing the character's race at the same time might.

changesex from the console works without creating any problems, other than cosmetic ... the face gen, eyes and hair will probably all default out (YUCK!), so really, showracemenu is probably your best bet.

There's also a command that lets you apply an NPC's face gen, etc. to your character (it escapes me at the moment). So that's an option if you want to look like Moira, Nova or something like that. Especially if you are using NPC mods like Ling's Pretty Things that changes them from their default vanilla looks (obviously, to do that you need Ling's Pretty Things installed!).

(Pssst ... you did save your game prior to making changes, didn't you, Nagaoka? )

Yeah, but it wasn't until quite a while afterwards that I realized all my stats were reset *sigh* I just decided to keep playing.

i sometimes force the prisoners in my concentration camp to have sexchanges as a punishment.
