I've been following http://www.creationkit.com/Tutorial_Creating_a_Playable_Race to create a custom race for a companion mod I'm making. I duplicated the Wood Elf race, renamed it, and added some hair. When I try to view my new race at character selection, it's just a floating head! Tried to start a new game with it, and I'm still a floating head.

Do I need to do something else other than duplicate the race? I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps exactly as described in the guide.

Try setting the Morph Race and Armor Race to Wood Elf under the Copied Data section. I'm assuming the problem you're having is the same one mentioned in the http://www.creationkit.com/Talk:Tutorial_Creating_a_Playable_Race.

You're right, should have checked out the discussion page. Anyway, fixed my problem, so thanks!

My first foray into real modding can continue! (towards inevitable doom )
