Familiar Faces issue?

[snapdragon2323]

I'm having issues regarding the cloned versions of my characters. The mod works fine until I copy my character into an alcove. She appears with a different face, and also appears half-dressed when I interact with her clone on another character's save. The same happens with my other character vice versa. I manually installed everything so I don't have anything to tell me what went wrong. Also, I'm running the 1.0.5 version of the mod along with the compatible version of JContainers as well as 1.7.1 version of SKSE and RaceMenu. Perhaps those are the problem, but I want to put off updating SKSE for as long as I can...if I can...eek. Anyone know what to do?

RaceMenu already reaquires SKSE 1.7.2. Otherwise it does not work properly. Keep in mind that many of us are already using SKSE 1.7.3.

There is no reason to avoid updating. New scripts do not launch, unless they are called by mods.

Will updating to 1.7.2 cause any problems with mods that use the previous version of SKSE? If not, how would you suggest updating? (cause i've never updated it before since im still a tad bit new to the whole SKSE thing)

It shouldn't. SKSE team does not change already included scripts, unless they were faulty. And if that would be the case, then the scritp would have been useless in the first place. I read the release notes and didn't find anything that would have prevented moving safely to next version.

There are no removed targets in 1.7.2 or 1.7.3. Changes are marked either "added" of "fixed." Thus, it should be safe just to run the installer to Skyrim folder. It will add new contnet and replace those few tweaked ones.

Tch. Well that was painfully easy. :P
So I've updated everything, SKSE, RaceMenu, JContainers, and FF, but now im getting a report from the FF page in the MCM menu saying "Missing race from unknown source" During my hunt for previous answers I saw a few people complaining about this?
And thank you so much for all your help so far. :)

Also, I tried loading a couple characters into the alcoves and it did the whole process and such, but when it's done the alcove isnt glowing and there's nothing in it. I checked the "shrine of heroes" tab in the MCM and it says that all the alcoves are empty.

I have never encountered this problem, so troubleshooting is quite hard. So far this is the only solution I could find.

Do you suppose it could be because of modded body or face meshes?

[Ilja]

No, neither. Those are only meshes and they do not affect to race in any way. This would indidicate that FF does not recognize the (custom) race you are using, but it already has custom race support.

[snapdragon2323]

Hm. I'm not using any custom race as far as im concerned. Perhaps i'll just have to keep looking.
Edit: Yeah, looking through posts on the comment thread for the actual mod, people seem to be having issues everywhere. The mod itself just ssems vey fragile. But anyways, thank you so so much for your help, as well as your advice on SKSE (now I know updating isn't much to worry about) ;)

Believe it or not, I had the same issue, while this is a very old forum I post my solution in case anyone has the same issue. in my character name " St. Pt Francis " the dot possible caused issue, so I changed it to "Francis" and it works .... absurd but
