Was trying to change an NPC in a quest mod to ren's mystic elf race, but after I do it in the CS when I try to load into the area where the modified NPC is supposed to be I get CTD'd, am I missing something or doing something wrong??

I load both rens and the quest mod in CS with the quest mod as active, then proceed to modify the NPC thereafter and save it no problem.

However after I load into the game it will ALWAYS CTD when I try to zone into the NPC's area...

Any suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance!

Don't load Ren's Mystic Elf .esp
Point your quest mod character changes to ....Oblivion\ Data\ Meshes\ Characters\ Ren \ Eyes, Hair, or Head.
and do the same with Textures. Remember to mention Ren's Mystic Elf is required if you publish the end result. Good luck now.

Thanks mucho gracias arigato!

Right I'm still having problemshere...is there atutorial anywhere that explains how to integrate another mod's custom race into my mod?

Specifically I have little experience doijng this, the most I thought to do was to open ren's esp and try to duplicate the race and save it to my mod so all the pointers would be there....

No that would make your plugin dependent on the other one.

Examine the 'guts' of the Mystic Elf mod files and folders, familiarizing yourself with all.

Add the Ren Mistic Elf mod to your game as usual.

Open the CS and do not load the Ren Mystic Elf mod. Instead load everything from scratch. If you don't know how to add new items search around here in the forums for "add custom race" "add hair" "add eyes" etc.

If you don't find what you're looking for come back to this thread and ask again, I just don't have time to find and point and explain it at this moment, but it's all been said before I promise.
