Anyone know if it's possible to save your appearance (or grab the 'numbers') of your character.

I have a char that I would like to restart the game with, but I fear I'll be unlikely to replicate his face.

Thanks in advance.

There's a character export system. Perhaps it's possible to do it with just the face..? I don't know. Never used it.

Thanks for the reply Paladin...

I've checked the char exporter utility - which states that it can alter your appearance...it achieves this via a batch file...and places showracemenu in the batch file. Bah!

Haven't found a face ex/importer myself which means you'll have to use a more tedious approach: The command spf xxx. It will create a file called xxx.npc in your skyrim root directory which can be opened with notepad.
My character's facefile looks like this (I just copied the most important stuff):


What they mean:

A simple yet effective method is to start from the far left of a slider using WASD keys and counting your key taps. A full move from left to right equals pressing "D" 20 times
Now what to do with those numbers?
Here a small help to transcribe them
For the sliders
0.000 = the slider is in the middle / 10 times D
-0.x = the the slider is x notches to the left /10-x times D Example: -0.3 = 7D
-1.00 = far left /starting point 0 times D
0.x = the slider is x notches to the right /10+x times D Example: 0.3 = 13D
1.00 = far right /20 times D end

The presets already reflect starting from left (Preset 2 means nose number 2, ...)

Other stuff like make-up, hair, warpaint, etc. has to be remembered, though I don't think this is much of a problem.

Many thanks Deathb0rn...I appreciate your help.

Off to do this now.
