How to apply face preset to different race?

[ItsZi]

Hello,

 

I want to ask is there a way to apply a racemenu preset to a different race? I use Racemenu and High poly head for my PC. For example, Can I apply this Nord face preset Alya

to a Breton PC? I tried to import the preset and sculpture but Racemenu will warrning me that the head sculpture is not match and convert the PC to a low poly head.

The different races have different head geometries. Compare e.g. a high elf head to a Breton one: Totally different proportions.

 

So, independent of the High Poly Head issue (which might be solved, if you select High Poly head as "head part" before applying the racemenu preset), it's not a good idea to use a head preset for a different race than the one it was made for. You will very likely get distorted faces and other issues.

Make sure you have High Poly Head from Vector Plexus installed.

 

Generally, 'human' race presets are quite interchangeable (Nord, Breton, Redguard, Imperial) The preset you indicate is a Nord.

 

In game, I go into racemenu, set sex to female and race to, say, Redguard.

Then I go to presets, select 'Load' and load the '01SeranaPresetFinished.jslot' from the mod above.

Then go to Sculpt, and import the 01SeranaPresetFinished.nif head mesh. At this point it changes the head part to 'KLH_FemaleHeadNord'

I just go back to 'Head' section sliders and change it back to KLH_FemaleHeadRedguard.

For the screenshot, I also went to the skin tone, and made it darker for a more 'Redguard' look.

 

 

 

Now, normally, trying to use a human preset with elven race and vice versa, will produce some ugly results.

But this one actually comes out pretty decent. I tweaked skin tone, eye color and ears abit, plus different hair.

Thank you so much Old hand. I had never known there is a "face part" option handle the face sculpture option.
