Mod request: change character's height

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 9:21 pm

Hi,
the construction kit in oblivion allowed to do this, and I would like to be able to do it also with skyrim even if the construction kit is not yet released:

Be able to view modify the value controlling each character's height (including our own) and be able to change it.
Any clue how to do this ?

Thanks

I'd also appreciate being able to change the height of the characters.

You can use a cheat setscale.

I'd really love to see this implemented in the form of multiple body type sliders. One for muscularity, one for height, one for body fat, etc.
The armor and clothes already scale to the vanilla body slider and I guess adding a second dimension for the meshes to scale shouldn't be too hard.

You can use a cheat setscale.

I recommend not using the player.setscale if you want to play the game legitimately. The problem with player.setscale is that it doesn't just increase the size of your character, it also increase your movement speed, your jump distance, and even your damage output. It scales all of that to match your new size. You may have a difficult time noticing this if you make minor adjustments from the default value of 1 (say 1.03 or 1.04 to get your character to Nord size), but it's still happening regardless. Your character will be able to move faster than s/he should be and hitting hard than s/he legitimately can. Now, if that kind of cheating doesn't matter to you, then there you go. But for players who want to play the game without cheating and wish they could modify their character's height, player.setscale is not a good solution (unfortunately).

I was very sad to realize all this after doing some tests after reading up on this proposed solution in another thread, because I've invested a large amount of time into my character and (for whatever reason, probably because I've been sticking to a first-person view almost all of the time) I just now noticed tonight that my Imperial character is noticeably shorter than even the Nord women. Makes it difficult to feel heroic. But, I'd rather be short than turn into Skyrim Supersoldier through this particular console command.
