How can I rename a spell, power, or shout? There is some information on this in the help topics shown in the MCM menu, but it is easier to provide step-by-step instructions here.
In this example we will rename the player Healing spell. 1. Open the command console by tapping ~ 2. Type "help healing" and Enter 3. Tap PgUp repeatedly to scroll up to the line reading SPEL: (00012FCC) 'Healing' (Note that there are 3 spells in the game named 'Healing' with different FormIDs. Duplicates may exist with other forms as well. ) 4. Hold Shift and tap the Renamer hotkey \ so that a text entry box shows. 5. Memorize the FormID for Healing, close the command console by tapping ~, type the FormID in the text box, and click Enter. 6. Type in the new name for this spell, such as "Curing" and click Enter.
I have one follower that I used this mod to rename. After a while I couldn't interact with her anymore. Her NPC name didn't even show up on the game screen. I used the MCM and restored to default anything that I had renamed (including her). It seemed to have worked but after a while I couldn't interact with her again and her name didn't show up on the screen again. Short of removing this mod, is there any way to fix permanently ?
This happens to me when I marry a NPC that I named. If you want to marry an NPC after renaming her, you can legit use a command in the console to add two matrimony rings to your inventory, and then gift one of the rings to the NPC to make it "official." That's the only workaround for me.
Hello, I love the mod but sometimes when i load into another area or use a door, the NPC that i renamed just becomes a blank named NPC and i can no longer talk to them. I did set Enforce Name change to true/ enabled it in the MCM but it still happens. Any reccomendations ? (the mod is still great and ty for making something like this !)
I have seen multiple people also report this but im gonna say it myself too, i renamed a follower, and after some time now i cant interact with her, theres no activator, and when she talks she has no name (on the subtitles), so i think that now her name became blank and thats why i cant interact with her no more, i tried to revert but did nothing, now i cant talk to her or anything at all, if someone knows a way of fixing this ill be really grateful!
I FOUND A SOLUTION, a guy on reddit posted a fix to this is as simple as clicking the npc with the console open and then using the hotkey to rename the npc again (to the original name)
Installed the MOD, worked fine 1 time. Exit game come back later. MOD unchecked - "this mod is not available and should be deleted" - I manually install MODs & only use 4others. Yes I have SKYUI, yes I have SKSE64. The oddity here is that if I reconnect to the net the MOD works? Also the MOD does NOT show up in the MCM menu? Any thoughts...
I know it's not the answer to your question, but wouldn't be simpler to open console and digit showracemenu if you just want to change your character's name? It opens the character creation menu, and it asks to confirm name when closed, you can change it then.
I can't seem to get this one to work in Vortex. Plenty of other mods are fine but this one does not appear to be installed after installing it and starting the game. `\` does nothing
After switching to Mod Organizer 2 I was able to make it activate by pressing `\` underneath the backspace key while looking at someone or something.
Something funny was going on with Vortex for me. Half of the mods I was hoping would spruce up the game were inactive and unable to get going no matter how fancy I got with the loading order.
If there are several items of the same type (for example, several silver ruby rings) in the inventory which have different enchantments, then attempt to rename an item with a particular enchantment will rename some random item of that type, no matter which item you point to. This is pretty annoying. In order to rename a correct item, you will have to unload all other items of this type first.
This is not the mod's fault, the vanilla game when you rename any item when you go to enchant it causes this same error when you have several of the same items, I noticed this yesterday.

I love this mod otherwise. It's so easy to work with!

Anyway yes. With MO2 I am able to use this mod.
