This mod adds some new sliders, head parts, one race, and more natural makeup colors.

===============================================================
ECE1.0 is quite different from older ones.
It is changed completely because of adding a new slider system.
Make sure to read this description file.
There are some important points you have to notice.
Compatible "Race Menu" 1.5+.
But it is not perfect. You will not use a lot of features.
I recommend uninstall Racemenu.

How to modify skeleton for apply neck and waist sliders

Required: NifSkope

Open the skeleton that you want to edit in NifSkope.
Unchecked the Auto Sanitize before Save.
Follow the hierarchy of BlockList.
skeleton female.nif -> NPC -> NPC Root -> NPC COM -> NPC Spine -> NPC Spine1 -> NPC Spine2 -> NPC Neck -> NPC Head
Click Select Node-> Attach Parent Node-> NiNode right while selecting NPC Head.
Click the icon of the Value of Name Txt where in the Block Details.
Enter "CME HeadPos" in the input field.
Hold Ctrl + down key, until set maximum number of node on the Block List. (maximum number of node: about 268)
Repeat steps 3-7 for CME Spine1, CME Spine 2. (NPC -> NPC Root -> NPC COM -> NPC Spine -> NPC Spine1 -> NPC Spine2)
Save file at the end.

Q. I want to apply these additional sliders to the additional race I use.
Most additional race mod can go with these new sliders automatically.

Create a new ini file from the text in data/meshes/CharacterMakingExtender/.
Type the following.

Example

[Race]
EDID = YgNordRace, ygNordRaceVampire
SliderIni = commonTriRaces/HumanRaces_Slider.ini
Preset = YgNordPreset1.slot

EDID has to fit exactly with (EditorID appropriate tribal Race-> open in TES5Edit or CK) name of Editor ID.

※ Some additional races is not supported, which have their own morph.
Copy and paste textures from unsupport race folder to YgNord folder.
I recommend you to use YgNord. It’s easier way.

Q. I want to apply face data made by ECE sliders to NPC

You can import face morph to NPC.
※ Body sliders, hair and colors cannot be applied.

First, make face you want to transport in showracemenu. The last face you make is saved in NoseType32.
Load Skyrim.esm in CK, and save/create esp. Example Lydia.esp.
Check and make the esp “active file”, load with “CharacterMaikingExtender.esp”. In addition, load hair esp/esm if you use.
Select the actor you want to change, click the Reset All button and then select NoseType32 in the Character Gen tab.
Edit the hair and makeup in Chargen Parts tab. Click the OK after editing.
Output the actor selected to mesh with Ctrl + F4. Save it, temporarily.
If you don't need CharacterMakingExtender.esp as master file, push the Ctrl + Delete deregistrate master in File->Data window->Parent Masters, and then load and save.
That’s all.

If you want to apply changed neck-length and head size to NPC.

If you don’t do this routine, don’t change the neck-length and head size. The position of hair will not accord with head. Be aware that head equipments won’t be in accord with head even when doing this task. Because of changing the size of mesh. If you want them to use head equipment of correct position, make a new race for it and specify its customed Skeleton.


When you want to apply the length of the neck / head size, change LipType to the 33.
You will find the hair is incorrect in the Preview.
Fixing this later by Nifskope, output the actor you selected to mesh with Ctrl + F4.
In NifSkope, open the NPC face data which is located below: Meshes/actors/character/FaceGenData/FaceGeom/
Sorting files by date is easy way to find.
Choose "Hair ~" of NiTriShape, write the value, which is twice the length of the neck (Don’t forget to write a memo of it) to Z of Translation, + 1 to the size of the head to Scale.
Right-click, Transform-> Apply the NiTriShape, and then ignore the warning click "Try anyway".
Hair ~ made ​​to all, please save.
It will be displayed correctly.

Q. What is name slider?

For Japanese language user. It is necessary to enter a name in Japanese.

Q. How to change the maximum value of the slider

A. For people want to break through the limit even if there is risk of face collapse. If you want to doubled slider, you should select the "More sliderMax x2" in installer. Compatible with slots already saved because the difference is only the maximum value of the slider changes; however if you load an “above the limit” slot on environment that does not have doubled maximum value, it will be fixed to the maximum value of “normal limit”. Be careful when you want to publish/distribute.
If you set it manually, to .ini (any) in the meshes/CharacterMakingExtender/ the maximum value is multiplied by [number] if you write "[number] SliderScale =".

Known issues / bugs

Player will re-ride the horse when you load the save on the state of riding a horse. It prevents your character from blowing away (wrath of Havok bug).

Player will be forced third-person view when you load the save state on first-person view. It is in order to fix bug of incorrect scale.
