Have you tried testing this with a new game instead of a saved one?

Also, it may be that you need to overwrite the existing character part files with the v_dead ones instead of just extracting them and placing them in the Override (which is what you did, or am I misreading your statement?) Duplication is often the cause for crashes in cases like these. The game simply does not know which file to read first, and worse, has no idea which ones to process, so it just shuts down.

Making my character a ghost was something that I wanted to do as well about a year ago, but never got around to it. When I have time, I will try some things and if they work, I will get back to you.

In the meantime, maybe Pecoes knows more on this?
