FAQ:
===================================================
How to change the hair on your existing character:
===================================================
On PC, open console(`) and type showracemenu -enter- It brings up the character customization menu.
- Make sure you are in the third person view before editing your character, otherwise you will be invisible, and unable to see the changes made on your character
showracemenu- will NOT modify your attributes/skills/points/etc. unless you change the race, sex, or select a preset from the list.
Modifying purely cosmetic things like hair will leave your points unchanged. If the character moves it's hands in front like they were tied,
it's a clear indication that the skills will be messed up,if the hands remain parallel to the body it's fine.
A way to fix the modified attributes error is to simply re-equip your gear.
You also need to re-enter (or change) your name.
