I then make a new actor the way i want it to look using the mods. Preview looks fine, i ctrl f4 it then save.
Boot the game up and all the things i've changed are back to vanilla options with a lovely black head.
I start the creation kit again and it can't find the head of my new follower and everythings back to vanilla in it as well.
Is there some kind of order you need to make a follower in to get it to work or can anyone point me to a tutorial to make a follower using mods and then how to export the files if i wanted to upload it to the Nexus for instance.
