NPC Height Variation Toolkit

Introduction

The NPC Height Variation Toolkit randomly but realistically resizes human NPCs so that their heights aren't all the same (as in the vanilla game), plus provides tools for customizing individual characters' heights to suit one's preferences. The objective of the kit is to automate as much of the tedium of resizing characters as possible. It accomplishes this using the following items:

• []A Pascal script that can be used by those comfortable with SF1Edit to generate an esm file containing adjusted height values for all human NPCs in the game. This script can additionally be modified by those familiar with Pascal to, for example, change the mean heights and/or standard deviations for male, female, and child characters.

  []A pregenerated plugin file, created with the above script, for those who'd like to simply install the mod and immediately start playing.

  []A spreadsheet, in both Excel and OpenDocument formats, containing a list of all Lodge and companion NPCs (plus lots of empty rows for manually entered NPCs), along with their IDs and formulas for outputting GetScale, SetScale, and MoveTo console commands for each. (The MoveTo command doesn't pertain to height, but is useful for recovering lost or stuck NPCs.) The sheet also outputs strings that can be copied and pasted into a txt file (which can then be run as a bat in the command console) or toml file (for use with Console Command Runner).

  []Pregenerated txt and toml files, made using the above spreadsheet.

  I recommend using the Toolkit in conjunction with No Rescale on Interact.

  Installation & Use

  Plugin File

  1. Download the mod.

  2. Extract RandomNPCHeights.esm to %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data.

  3. Create a Plugin.txt file in %localappdata%\Starfield and add *RandomNPCHeight.esm to it.

  4. Play the game.

  Or use a mod manager.

  Txt Files

  The set_heights.txt and reset_heights.txt files can be extracted directly into the main game directory. They can be run from the command console by entering bat set_heights or bat reset_heights, respectively.

  TOML File

  The SetNPCHeights.toml file can be extracted to the Data\SFSE\plugins\ConsoleCommandRunner folder of your game installation directory.

  Spreadsheet

  1. Extract the NPC Height Calculator.xlsx and/or NPC Height Calculator.ods file(s) wherever you like.

  2. Manually enter custom data into cells outlined in green. Do not enter data in any other cells! (I've left the other cells unprotected for those who
