That did the trick! Thanks guys, the face mods work now.

Ignore that part, I don't know why I wrote that. My Skse is installed in the skyrim folder, not the data folder, I installed it using the installer, not the mod manager.

Yep, I've tried just extracting them into the file. I didn't try any of the options for it, just downloaded covergirl 3 put the mod texture folder in the skyrim data folder. I've also started messing around with BSAopt, to find a way around my problem by just replacing the vanilla textures, but I couldn't fully understand how to use it. at this point I'm prepared to just replace the game files, and keep them backed up somewhere else because I have no idea why it keeps loading the originals.

Still noting. My SKSE file is in data>SKSE>SKSE.ini inside it: [Display]iTintTextureResolution=2048 [General]ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 [Memory]DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 This should be the simplest thing to mod...I really am at a loss. Why isn't it working?

Gamefever, I don't have a SKSE.ini file anywhere. I installed SKSE automatically through the mod manager. It's kind of driving me nuts because the luxury suite and associated textures are working perfectly....well almost perfectly, the floor for the backyard/pool area is missing.

Nope, checked the order and it's all correct.

I'm having trouble installing face mods. The only other mod I have tried besides these is the SkyUI, and that seems to be working fine, if a little slower than the vanilla one. I tried bella's better females, covergirls, and no more blocky faces and none of them seem to work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Are they supposed to have a .nps file? I'm just installing things using the NMM. Edit: I also tried the luxury suite mod and that seems to work fine, but the flora overhaul doesn't work either, so I guess that this problem is just with all of the texture mods.
