Broken Scars for Female Characters


DaosRequiem

Recommended Posts

Before anyone decides to tell me anything; Yes I searched for existing topics, No I found nothing, Yes I searched for fixes for this problem, No I found none that would actually work (I am referring to Northborn Scars that claimed it had a female scar fix).

 

With that out of the way, I have been experiencing a problem with the scars for female characters in my Skyrim game. This occurs on not just player characters but also NPC's. U couldn't be the only person to experience this problem and it has been driving me batty. Okay, the scars appear in certain portions of the face except for around the cheek/cheekbone area of the face. The scars seem to be enveloped by the mesh of the face itself. I have taken liberty of installing the advanced racemenu and adjusted the cheeks/cheekbones to find that the whole scars are in fact in tact, beneath the mesh of the face so it isn't a problem with the scars textures from what I can gather. It seems as though the mesh of the face itself has been edited or altered in some way however I can't figure out what I could have done to cause this. My game is mod heavy and I use Caliente's beautiful bodies however this is the only mod I can think of that would effect the over all structure of the character model and I have had this mod installed before without issue. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is that is causing this problem nore can I figure out how to fix/avoid it. Like I said before I have googled this problem in varying ways and searched this and other forums, but I cannot find a topic that touches on this same problem even though I am sure I can't be the only one to have experienced it. If anyone can help me out with this, it would be much appreciated!

 

I have added some sample images below to help illustrate the problem that is occuring.

I'm having this exact same issue. It seems like certain parts of the face (the cheek is the most noticable, like in the pictures) that clip over the scars. Could probably be some head mesh that's overlapping but I'm not sure. Just thought I'd bump this 1 year old thread.

I think there is a layer that the scars are applied to, they were meant to work on vanilla head meshes since Bethesda doesnt think of mods ahead of time. If the head mesh is changed it will screw up the scar layer, like on Etherel Elven Overhaul the scars will be contorted becuase the head changed.

 

I think the scar layer doesnt play nice with some head meshes that make the heads bigger or cheeks fuller, and they clip over the scar layer.

 

Thats my understanding anyway. Dont think there is anyway to fix it. Might be the way the scars are coded into the game, which is for the vanilla heads.
