Do you have Steam? I can try to go over it with you on there. If so, what is your Steam name?

It's easiest to search via character ID or by player=yes, rather than the character name.
Step 1: Open save game for character whose appearance you like in Notepad++.
Step 2: Line 4 should be "player=" -- go down to line 6 where it says id=[Number]. That's your character ID.
Let's pretend your character ID was 12345
Step 3: search for "12345=". This should be your character. You'll know because the "bn" line two lines down should be your character's first name.
Step 4: copy the dna and property lines.
Step 5: Open the save game for the character whose appearance you want to change.
Step 6: Repeat steps 1-3.
Step 7: Paste the dna and property lines OVER the dna and property lines. This is probably overkill because some properties are clothes and stuff, but the game will fix that automatically.
Step 8: save the game file with a ctrl+S, and look at your results in-game by loading the save and playing the character.
ALTERNATIVE PATH: Step 1: search for "player=yes" -- that should take you to the same character.
Step 2: start from step 4 above, and when repeating steps 1-3 just repeat this step 1 instead.
I tend to prefer using character ID rather than player=yes, but it should accomplish the same result.
