Just fyi if aside from joyous1ariella's great fix, if you are still having an issue or even other characters are invisible, remove "apr_base_ishdfa.gda" file from your Diversified Followers Armors mod and no more invisible characters. This got me the Big Bad Fen like in this mods pictures instead of a floating head.
For those of you interested, I figured out how to make this mod compatible with Diversified Follower Armors (and probably any other mod that allows you to equip any armor to your companions). I tested it with Light Fenris Bare but it should work for all of them.
NOTE: Unfortunately, this only fixes the clipping/misfitting you get when you use other armors on Big Bad Fenris besides his default. You will no longer be able to equip Fenris with his default armor (well you can, but he will become a floating head!), and I suggest you WAIT UNTIL AFTER YOU CHANGE HIS ARMOR to make this fix, as a misfitting head/neck is slightly more attractive than a floating head when you meet Fenris for the first time ALSO: this will get rid of his body tattoos when he's not wearing armor! BUT the good news is the VFX are still there when he is fighting so, it's like they're just invisible when not in use. Kinda cool change IMO. On that note, anyone who has naked/underwear mods may have problems with shirtless fen Oh, and unfortunately this does not fix the bottle-not-touching-lips problem, but I like ElViVi's "he's just too drunk to realize it's empty" explanation lol

If this is too difficult for you, PM me and I can send you a copy of the file
WOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH, joyous1ariella!!!! Following your instructions it wasn't even difficult! Having Fenris in different armors makes the experience so much better, I can't believe it! I've been wishing for this for such a long time! Thank you, you're great! I'll upload some clothes Fenris pics now, can't stop changing his clothes now :D
I was so relieved to find your post! Thank you so much.....But then I tried your link, and present day the Bioware site is down, I can't get the GDApp...my heart just sank.
Anyone have a link for the file? X_X

Hello, I just downloaded Big Bad Fenris - Dark Fenris in Armor, and his face comes through as the light picture and he is in his regular armor and not the version of the chamption armor. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how can I fix this? I have used this mod previously but lost it and had to redownload and now it is not working.
nvm i got it to work, i was using the unique face texture companion, i just remove that mod Fenris and the head detached issue is gone, i always think of Fenris is too "twinkish" for my liking, this is body mod is perfect for him! tho i hope theres still update for him in underwear or something lol,endorsed!
I'm late to the party, but I'm using Dark Fenris in Armor and I'm also using Natural Bodies Just Males, I get the impression those two mods conflict with each other as his head is detached from his body and he's not wearing anything. Are these mods just incompatible with each other, or is there something I'm missing?
Hi i just downloaded Light Bare Fen, but seems like his neck is weird(invisible)? i dont have any body mods on tho. if anyone can tell if this still works?
Hey, OP. I love this mod and want to keep this Fenris, but I've noticed that Light Fenris' body seems too pale for his face? The only mod I'm using that alters his face is Unique Face Textures for Companions. I'd use Dark Fenris' instead but I strongly prefer his vanilla hair. In fact, I tried to use a dark body with the hair from Light Fenris but he ended up bald instead lol. If you could separate the two somehow that would be wonderful. Thank you again for this awesome mod!
Edit: I'm a dummy and just realized you actually mentioned the mod would not be compatible with other mods that modify Fenris :'). My bad. Still, I request Dark Fenris with vanilla hair because his skin tone is almost bang on with the mod I linked to/ No problem if you don't want to, this is simply a selfish request :D.
Hey, I know it's a bit late to reply, two mods are compatible. (as far as I know.) I'm using Light Fenris in Armor and Fenris - Neck Markings Fix version. So I don't know original version of the mod is also compatible with this big light Fenris or anything eles, but in my game these mods are working quite well.

But, I haven't been able to get armor of any sort to show up on BigBadFen! Just a floating head. I have DFA installed, but still nothing.
What am I missing?
If you follow this guide, it can even be made work with:
Fenris as Dante
Makes him even cooler in the Black Coat and even more handsome. Oh my. ;D
