Introducing, the NPC Enhancer Gun!

Hello! This mod/creation will, upon loading a game, add the Enhancer Gun, based on the Novablaster, to the player’s inventory. Firing this gun at an NPC (non-hostile act) will bring up the Enhance menu allowing players to change the NPCs appearance however they like!

Make sure to save your changes using your player character’s name and pronouns (whatever you want them to be), not the NPC’s. Or just hit ESC if on PC. If I find a solution to avoid having to do this, I will update.

The Gun does not work on crowd NPCs, children, nor the player's parents if they have the Kid's Stuff trait. If you change the NPC's gender, they could lose lip sync or talk in the opposite gender's voice. I don't really have a solution for this, so for now don't swap genders around. 

Also, the gun doesn't work well with custom clothing. Take anything but vanilla clothing off before using the gun if you run into problems. 

The Enhancer Gun is zero weight and value, same with its ammo. It's meant to be a fun gimmick rather than something that fits Starfield’s setting. 

You can use mods like Biometric ID at Enhance (link below) that only change the interface of the chargenmenu. This should be compatible. Doing so will load up a random biometric ID instead of the NPC's appearance which will be ID 1. 

I've noticed that sometimes NPC's will "disappear" after the gun is used only to have respawned in a different location. For example, when using the gun on Sam at the Lodge he will disappear and respawn in the upstairs bar area.

If you lose your gun, just save your game and reload and you will get a new gun. The new version of the gun uses heavy fuse ammo, just like the Novablast. 

Installation:
There are two main files. One with a ba2 archive, one with loose files. Use ONE main file, not both. Extract and copy the contents one of these files to your data folder. Or, preferably, use the Mod Manager of your choice.

Load order should not matter, but I have at least one report of a user fixing the gun not working by moving this mod around.

Requirements:
There are no requirements other than the base game.

Incompatible Mods:
Souls of Cities - SFSE - May have some odd interactions when the gun is used on Crowd NPCs. Use with caution.
Scared of Shootings - NPCs react to shootings - May cause a hostile reaction to the gun shooting someone.

Troubleshooting:
Screen stays Black or the Mod crashes. This is possibly because of interference with another mod, especially custom clothing. Try stripping your player character (not the NPC you want to change) of any clothing and gear first before using the gun. If that works great, now do me a favor and see if you find which clothing is causing the problem and let me know.

If that doesn't work, go back to a previous save without the gun installed. Make a new save. Load that saves with no mods enabled except the Enhancer Gun. Try it and see what happens. If there is still an error. Try deleting, downloading the last updated version, and reinstalling the mod. 

You can also use SSK Fast Start to make a new test game with just fast start and the gun installed, then add one mod at a time until you find the incompatible mod. If you do, please report it!
