I've got an actor, and I have a face made. I would like to make the face go on the actor. I am having an odd amount of trouble finding info on this.

If you mean using a custom mesh you will have to make the CK generate the default one first through FaceGen, it will provide a link to the mesh like so

You can generate it by selecting your NPC in the CK and pressing Ctrl+F4

meshes/actors/character/FaceGenData/FaceGeom/__pluginname__.esm/__formid__.nif

You might need your plugin to be a master for it to actually load the mesh. I know that you need it to be a master for face tinting to work, but you may be okay if your using just the mesh.

Crap. I am using face tinting, my character is green. Sigh.
OK, how do I turn my mod into a master file?
