Download read it and use the testing npc if you are having any problems before contacting me.

Manual installation of the testing NPC recommended.
CHAPTER 3 & 4
——————–
Discontinued and there are some tutorial already about making a standalone NPC
————————————————————————————————————————————–
If you are a fan of the “showracemenu” command i suggest a mod to help you see more clearly anywhere you are and even in the dark try photo booth.
Advantage of that mod is that it uses a photo-studio-like 3-point lighting setup with a neutral background for perfectly clear character renders
