Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Q1. character's face is dark color.
A1. this is due to a mismatch in the resolution of the facial texture you are using. You should check the texture yourself to determine the cause.
Q2. added a mod but the changes are not applied.
A2. The changes are not applied when the target character is already loaded in the screen. In this case, please move to another cell and wait until the cell is reset, or start the game with the data before meeting the target character.
Q3. I added a mod, but the atmosphere is different from SS.
A3. The required mod alone will show the face, but it will not actually be the same as the face I created. You need to install the recommended mod, Extended Facial Sculpting. Whether or not to install this is up to you.
A word of addition.
Sometimes I get " I've got a problem, I don't know what to do " some people post them, but I just ignore them or delete them. So, your posting it is nothing but a waste of time.
The anto hair pack mod listed as a off-site requirement is no longer available on the link provided. There is though Anto Hair Pack that was uploaded to Nexus after this mod released, but not sure if it's the same one
Hi, loving the art! There are so many gorgeous Pipers to choose from here, it's hard but you have created quite a contender. At first I was balking at all the additional mods but I'm realizing they will enhance quite a few other characters as well anyway. I had two questions for you:
What is it about this replacer that differs from other ones where the replacement will not apply if you have already met the character in game? I haven't seen that come up in any other character replacer mod so far.
Secondly, is Commonwealth Cuts - KS Hairdos - ApachiiSkyHair not actually a requirement? It is listed under the "Requirements" dropdown, but not mentioned in your text description nor during installation. The mod does seem to work fine without it enabled, so I'm guessing it is an oversight there, perhaps leftover from an older version that required it before you switched to a style from Anto Hairpack? It's not a huge deal for me as I was planning to use it anyway, but it does seem odd that a given character would depend on two separate hair mods, so I wanted to request clarification on that and to bring it to your attention if its presence on the mod page was unintentional.
Update: I did find another Piper replacer that requires Commonwealth Cuts AND MiscHairstyles and won't work without both installed, so it can be necessary for both to work.
>1st That is something you should look up yourself rather than asking me to explain it to you. You will not get an answer from me beyond what you have researched.
>2nd The matter you pointed out is just a listing error. I have corrected it.
For the record, I am able to get the mod to work, I'm not looking for you to fix a problem. I did very much try to look this up before I asked you. Every combination I could think of to google failed to produce useful results about this issue or show me other examples of character replacers suffering from it in general. I get that the modding community can be really toxic and demanding; I was just hoping that maybe you had a brief insight or could at least point me in the right direction. As I mentioned, I haven't seen a single other replacer with that requirement out of the dozens I have tested, so I was curious.
Interestingly enough, I did just try loading a fresh from the vault save without loading GK Piper Replacer, then used Cheat Terminal to get myself to the DC Gate, met Piper, and saved during her scripted conversation outside of the gate. I then activated GK Piper Replacer and loaded the save with her in the cell, staring right at her, and the replacer worked just fine. So while there is an issue at some point of her being present in a save where it won't work, it's not exactly after having met her the first time. Even if you don't care about this at all, I hope that by sharing this someone else with a question might read it and learn from it before asking you.
Thanks again for your effort in creating this and your other mods. You are a talented artist and I respect your work. I'm sorry to have bothered you.
Update: To anyone trying this mod AFTER meeting Piper, I ran additional tests, getting to each mentioned point before saving, exiting, and loading in GK Piper Replacer: 1) Letting the scripted convo and gate opening finish. 2) After conversation with Mayor McDonough 3) After following Piper into DC. 4) Before entering Diamond City, traveled back to Sanctuary and waited 2 weeks to force a cell reset before returning to DC. 5) Reloading save from 4 (before cell reset), followed Piper into Diamond City, after her conversation with Nat. 6) After entering Publick Occurrences. 7) After interview is completed (unlocked as companion.) 8) After having Piper become your follower. 9) Piper follows back outside to DC. 10) Piper follows and fast travel to Sanctuary. At each point, I was able to successfully activate the replacer. On this save I had gone straight from exiting vault 111 to DC with cheats and done literally nothing else quest-wise. Still unclear how, why, and at which point save data will prevent this mod from working, at least insofar as it involves Piper. That was as far as I was willing to invest the test time. YMMV.
This time, I changed Piper's face without being conscious of making her look like the actress I referred to. There are no changes to the required mods in this update.
In this update, Piper's face was adjusted and her hairstyle was changed. I changed Piper's nose, eyebrows, eyes and mouth, so maybe it's more correct to say I changed them than adjusted them.
The BDOH version is included as a preset. This time changed the hair color and eye color.
In this update, Piper's face was adjusted. The optional BDOH version of the recently released option is included as a preset. I stopped offering it as an esp because it was too much trouble for me. The BDOH version adopted a short haircut.
You'll have to research on your own how to run the slm and apply the presets. Don't ask me questions here.
A type of Piper's hairstyle changed to Black Desert Online Hairs is available as an option. The esp name has also been changed, so do not use together.
Piper's face has also been adjusted to match the hairstyle.
In this update, Piper's face was changed. The presets are also new. I did not make any significant changes to Piper's face itself. Adjustments were made to areas I was concerned about.
I made some modifications to the options file I uploaded the other day and changed this to the main file. AntoHairpack is once again designated as a required mod, so please make sure you have it. Piper's face has been adjusted to match the haircut I have chosen. The presets have been updated accordingly.
Ver. 1.1. is no longer available with the upload of Ver. 1.2.
I have uploaded a file with Piper's face changed to an AntoHairpack 2.0 compatible hairstyle. Naturally, AntoHairpack 2.0 is required for this, so don't forget to download it. I have also made some adjustments to the faces, so the presets included are also new.
