["missing facegen tint map", etc. when editing vanilla NPC in SE CK]

 

Similar issue. Vanilla npc edit. Not even messing with the textures, just stats. And the "ignore because it's an npc" thing doesn't work for me. I change just about anything else it saves fine but if I try to save after those errors show, CK crashes before it successfully saves.

 

Ah yes, the dreaded vanilla black face bug. Had a fun row with that.

 

First you have to check your data/textures/Actors/Character/FaceGenData/FaceTint/Skyrim.esm folder and

data/meshes/actors/character/FaceGenData/FaceGeom

 

That is where all of the vanilla edits are stored and they will overwrite whatever you are doing. You should also see a folder with your modname.esp.

 

Rename the folder to Skyrim.esm1 (or something else so you have a back up.

Now select your modname.esp folder and rename it, too.

 

Load your mod into the CK and when it is finished select SAVE. Now select those vanilla NPC's by packs of 10-20 (depending on how sturdy your rig is) and select Ctrl+F4.

 

When you are finished, looksee into your skyrim.esm folder and modname.esp folder in their mesh and texture locations. Voila! Fixes, fixes everywhere.

 

If you are packing this mod for others to use, make sure you pull those files into the archive maker so they are for sure there.

 

Happy modding :smile:
