Broken NPC Fix for Existing Saves

An NPC may visually break if you are using an existing save with a new genesis update or if you modified your game and messed with stuff. To “reset” them to their proper state (such as turning human ND5 back into a droid), follow these steps:

  1. First, perform a manual save incase you mess something up,
  2. Next, simply go up to the bugged NPC,
  3. Open the console (`),
  4. Click them and make sure you see the word “NPC” somewhere in the middle of your screen,
  5. Type and enter “disable“ without the quotation marks,
  6. Don’t click anywhere else and just press “Esc” to exit the console,
  7. The NPC should vanish. If it didn’t vanish, then you clicked the wrong thing. Reload the save you created and start over,
  8. Open the console again (`),
  9. Type and enter “enable“,
  10. Type and enter “resetinventory“,
  11. The NPC should now appear infront of you with their new appearance/armor

Still doesn’t work? Here are some advanced commands to try in this order:

resetinventory
recycleactor
disable
enable
