Can you import DNA from a character you fully created? (like from the initial character creator before you start your game) How can you then save it and import? Why isn't custom DNA copyu-paste allowed?

I don't know if this is due to game limitations, but pasting DNA from another character imports psysical features but does not import/change the character's gender. I had found a great courtier thatwould be a good spouse for gameplay and roleplay reasons, but it happens to be of the wrong gender so i can't marry them (and no, it's not just a matter to change religion to allow same sex marriage, I'd like it to be vanilla fertile).
Am I doing something wrong, or is this functionality not in the mod? And if it's not, can it be added if you still take suggestions?

muscularity on females doesn't work, mod is at bottom of load order

I want to use a dead character as a DNA storage, but would it be very difficult to make a dead character able to interact with it?

Oh, so close! I was searching for a mod that would allow me to modify bodies of NPCs and I saw the "Copy DNA" functionality, but it only works on your character. Is it possible to add a function where you copy DNA from an NPC and paste it on another NPC?

@Heisenberg it should still work fine
You had issues with it?

Update please

Hmm I know someone asked something similar to this before but I believe it's not quite the same, would it be possible to *paste* or type a DNA code (either the way it's used in the save file or persistent DNA from ruler designer) and use that on a character of your choice?

could add option to make characters taller?

thank you thank you thank you for all this effort
i looked through the ocean of code and i can tell you put your heart and soul into this
people like you are the ones that should be a billionaire

Lots of effort was put in trying to make it work
I even had to remake my mod into Event instead of Character interaction, since Paradox didn't make it possible for Character interaction to use custom GUIs, only overwriten native GUIs
And overwriting GUIs can cause issues of compatibility
That's why in some other mods if there is a custom GUI, it's mostly used in the events, or they just change native GUI
Still it didn't work, so doesn't matter :\

@overdriven
Sorry missed your comment
Save/Load DNA in character creator are done in the different scope
It's done in GUI files, with what seems like references to something hardcoded and unaccessible in a normal way
Modding GUI is completely different thing
I tried to create custom GUI for my character interaction and add these buttons in it
But Save/Load DNA buttons just didn't work
I don't know if it's even possible to implement or it's just a skill issue on my behalf
But lack of any guides, any other mod that can do it and from what I've seen while trying to make it, makes me believe it's just impossible

Would it be hard to code it? I know it's doable with CheatEngine, but it would be better to not have to use any additional software.

@overdriven
No, it doesn't work like in character creator
Basicly Save DNA just saves character ID into variable, which is later used for copy
There is no actual DNA to copy to clipboard

Is there a way to make "Save DNA" save to clipboard or to a text file?

No, there is a different mod for that.

is this posible change color of skin? and change apparance of npcs?

@Zarays
Ok, thanks for your reply. But I do have the impression that in the past, I was in Middle-earth, and I successfully used your mod to import a DNA that was my character's daughter.

is there anyway to add height to character?

@1246180594
Soooo, I've checked in the clean game without any other mods, and it works
Also you said you've copied DNAs from outside the game...well that mod never was able to do that
With that mod you can only copy DNAs from one in-game character to another

@1246180594 Hi
Sure, I'll check it

Hi friend, this mod of yours, excellent. I recently found that it didn't work, and I used to copy a new DNA from outside the game and successfully changed the appearance of the characters in the game. Now, I've found that neither DNA can be recognized by your mod and cannot change the appearance of the character in the game, the mod will only tell me that there is no saved appearance. Your mod was successfully used in the Lord of the Rings script. So, I think it's an official update that is causing your mod to no longer work properly. Your mod is excellent, and I've recommended it to many of my friends. Ask a friend for your ability to update, thank you for the great mods!

@sm0lweeweeman there are characters in the game that have their appearance scripted and may also have scripted muscularity
In that case trigger will not change anything
But most scripted characters are fine with that mod

also i noticed that the muscularity toggle is inconsistent? Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't

love this mod it's perfect it's exactly what i needed

although I do wish there were way to transfer dna between saves or paste DNA strings directly but I understand that's outside the scope of this specific mod

@unicornfarts_4206669
If that how mod would work, you would see it in the mod's description

This didn't work the way I expected; I was hoping to create a character by starting a new game, copy their DNA, then paste it in the Save Game I want to past it in. Apparently, you can only copy/paste DNA from within 1 Save File. Makes this mod useless for me, I don't want to clone NPC's, I want to make characters look exactly How I want them to.

Thank you!

Looking forward to trying this out, thanks!

do we need id from debug menu or dna from like pastebin?

Added compatch for Better Barbershop
steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3012794538

@Karnak
Yes, copy or paste DNA from one character to another

@Zarays But you can only past DNA right ? Not directly change him ?

@Karnak
You can see on mod description that it's not something that this mod does)
It's not a barbershop or ruler designer
It's just a character interaction with options that limited to what you can do in scripts
Ruler designer staff are not something you can do with scripts

Hi ! it is possible to edit directly the character appearance (like when your own ruler) as a barbershop option ? I would like to make my sons/daughters like I want not only at the start of the game

@Takkles
Hi
Well, I've tried to replicate that
1) Run game files integrity check from steam game properties
2) Created new modset with only CCA mod in it
3) Reset all game rules to default
4) Started new game, get to main menu, load the game

And still I do have achievements enabled


My suggestions are next:
1) Check game files integrity
2) Make sure debug is disabled
3) Make sure you don't have any game rules enabled that breaks achievements, like no end date
4) Check your checksum. Mine was "0040" with only CCA mod

are you sure this mod is ironman and achievement compatible? it said achievements were available when i created my character, but loading the ironman save today they're disabled and this is the only mod i have activated

Oops,seem that I forget this:
change_character_appearance_desc:0 "现在的体重: [recipient.GetCurrentWeight]"

@小鹿和我玩

Brilliant mod, thank you for creating it and sharing it with the community!

Oh i need this mod thanks to author! :)

@Morbid Views
Yes

im assuming the changes are inheritable to your kids?

@benisthebest
It's more like DNA defines height. but yes

does height affect DNA... does it make your kids tall too

Great mod, thanks for this!

Ok, thanks for the info.

@Emperor2000
It's current weight
There is no command to change base weight unfortunately
Only current weight or target weight
