every plumbot i make has a human face!
hello, i've been playing this game for so long and creating plumbots on many occasions. however, this time whenever i try to create a plumbot, in CAS it looks completely normal, i can choose their face normally, but in the live mod... it looks uncanny (images below) it must be a glitch, i assume? i have no idea how to stop it tho. can someone help?

That's kinda crazy! It could be a mod causing that, although I can't think of one. But perhaps the easy thing to try first is to unistall, then reinstall just ITF.

@Krowokwiat
Are these fixes that we suggested worked, because you didn't said or reported anything?

Can you post a mods list? Because as parts go, Plumbots don't even have heads technically. The head is listed as hair. I've done A LOT of work on Plumbots, and never saw this.

hii everybody :D

i decided to actually do something about it - i felt bad asking you all for help, when i haven't actually checked my mods (and i should've, in the first place).
but the results i got are weird...

my first test run without any mods: every new plumbot i created finally started looking normal again; yet my old plumbots still have their sim faces
i thought what the hell, but started checking every single mod i have anyway, one by one: new plumbots still looked normal, old ones still got that extra flavor.
i finally got to the last mod on my list, thinking "this must be it, then", but.. new plumbots still looked normal. how does that even make any sense?

so at the end i tried playing with my mods one more time, loaded up my current save, and again, when i create a new plumbot, it looks like a real bot, but the old ones that i made before still have their sim-looking-faces. i tried customizing them multiple times and still, nothing changes. so, i guess it's just part of their charm now lol.
just to be extra sure, i tried creating plumbots on a completely new save, and they're coming out normal as well.

i know it's not a satisfying answer, i know the problem hasn't been actually solved, but i guess i'm happy with what i got

(screenshots below, the newest plumbot i created, and the old one)

There is nothing wrong about asking for help And congrats for finding the issue yourself!

In case you want to get rid of these bots after certain time you could create a copy of them and add progress with cheats.

But still it would be a good measure to share a list of your script/core mods, because this issue can appear after a while again.

If you want to get rid of the "human" faces, save your game first... then, if you have Nraas MC, using shift (hold) left click, take the bot into Sim CAS. Change it's hair, and the head should disappear. You'll have a bot with Sim hair and no face, because bot heads are listed as hair in CAS. Take it to Plumbot CAS and add back a head. Sim hair should be replaced by bot head/ hair. If that doesn't work, just reload from the save you made before starting this, and no real foul.

As I said, I've done a lot of work with Plumbots. This face is intentional...
