Ethereal Elven Dawnguard Vampire fix

[Dcrybot]

hi it's has been 3 year since etheral elven overhaul and dawnguard was out

but the vampire grey face bug still exist if you use ethereal and dawnguard unmodded even with eeo patch

 

i've tried to find a way how to fix it yet i still cant find the perfect solution to use both of them together

but i've make quite progress which almost fix all the face bug unless for this NPC :

you can skip it if you want to check the fix it started below from the purple font

 

[skyrim NPC]

 

~1

33885 ancient vampire,

33880 vampire nightstalker,

33855 blooded vampire,

3392d volkihar vampire - all high elf

[Dawnguard NPC] it was loaded 3rd so it was 03

[change 03 to your own dawnguard load order number if you want to check it]

~2

030176fc vampire - breton

~3

0300282d nightlord vampire,

030176fd vampire,

03017F88 vampire nightstalker,

03017F8B ancient vampire,

03017F91 nightlord vampire,

03017F8E volkihar vampire,

030176FA vampire fledgling,

03017700 blooded vampire,

03017F85 vampire mistwalker - all dark elf

0300CADF feral vampire - high elf

if you wish to try my fix here's what you gonna need :

1st make sure your both your femaleheadvampire and maleheadvampire texture are same with your normal counterpart [also the msn , s , sk file]

2nd use this : http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34733/? or edit it yourself the maleheaddirt_01.dds and femaleheaddirt_01.dds into blank texture [all black] then copy and rename it 02 and 03 [so 3 files for male and 3 for female]

3rd then for the mod part :

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24273/? EEO <<< install it

then

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46067/? EEO Patch <<< install & patch it

then

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38829/? BVFE <<< might overwrite EEO but dont use it if you want to keep the EEO looks but i use it for the human race

then

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36439/? no dirt tintmask for dawnguard vampires [you dont need it after use my fix but this was really good if you dont use EEO just use this and your vanilla vampire grey face bug fixed]

then use my fix :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/1tw1v64d82c2b4q/No+Dirt+Nuska.rar [too big for attachment yet not perfect enough to be uploaded to nexus] put the esp on data folder this was combination of EEO [patched for dawnguard] and no dirt tintmask mod esp [with some tweak to keep the eeo appearance from tes5edit]

so since it was merged you dont need eeo and no dirt esp activated you can just use my esp for both mod

thats were included my dirty save [with my mod load order so it might incompatible in most game]

the purpose is for checking [if you can load it though] you'll be spawned in qasmoke room with almost all vampire npc [quite sure all female vampire npc was there unless valerica and serana] and pretty sure most of you dont bother fot the vampire male [since it was like 1/5 of the vampire npc was male] and i've seen some was fixed i dont bother to check them all :tongue:

it was dangerous so i suggest use tgm , tdetect , tai ans tcai before load this safe if you want to check the diffrence

the 15 female npc still having the error in my game maybe it was facegenom /facetint problem yet i wish you guys can help me with that

most npc was elf so i thought it still because EEO yet 1 npc was breton

and i categorize the npc error into 3 part ~1 ~2 ~3

~1 was skyrim esm elf npc which doesnt get fixed by my patch, even standalone eeo mod doesnt fix it [almost all of them fixed with my fix so no clue:p]

~2 was dawnguard esm yet it was not elf so im not sure what caused it [neither standalone eeo / no dirt fix it unless u have vanilla skyrim no dirt mod will fix it]

~3 was dawnguard esm elf some of dawnguard npc was fixed by my fix but this particular was not, yet it was fixed with no dirt tintmask mod

[yet all of them fixed if u use vanilla and no dirt tintmask mod]

vanilla as no facegenom / facetint from any other mod in your data folder

so like i said if u use vanilla no dirt tintmask will fix your game with EEO though it was diffrence

what the diffrence of your fix with standalone eeo and no dirt tintmask mod ?

the difference is if you use EEO only your skyrim vampire face will be fixed but the dawnguard not and if u use the no dirt after eeo only the dawnguard face were fixed and all npc edited by eeo will have grey face bug

and it was depends from your load order too if you put no dirt 1st then eeo only eeo npc got edited and dawnguard got grey face cause both mod modify same race

keep in mind eeo change only elf and no dirt change all race

i just combine it and change what it would use [change the appearance for eeo] and it works :D

without it both mod was incopatible and more npc have the grey face bug but now it only that 15
i still hope the more experienced modder help me with better fix though for now i just share my finding

if im post it in the wrong area sorry :tongue:
