[[ASK] How to fix Black Face bug?]

Ok so just in case anyone still needs help with this black face bug, I finally found a solution that worked for me. I noticed, from time to time, random npcs would have a black face. Then, the problem carried over to my Bijin modded npcs. I believe this started happening because I was doing the alt+f4 command in the CK. Don't do that. Instead, dig into your Skyrim Data folder to look for two specific files.

One is:

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Skyrim.esm

The other folder is:

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Textures\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Skyrim.esm

 

Notice the only thing different in these two paths is that one is under Meshes in the data folder, while the other is under Textures. If you have these two folders, delete them. This is (from what I can gather) Skyrim trying to add in the meshes and textures for those NPCs and it's clashing with your selected mods, creating a "black bug." Now, if I'm wrong on that, someone please correct me. I also reinstalled Bijin and my other NPC mods WICO and Tempered Skins for Males, though that may not have been required, I didn't check before I did it. Also, I make sure WICO and Bijin stay low in the load order. I hope I helped someone with this!

 

[Need help with modding Skyrim!]

Thanks for the timely answers!

As i stated before, this is my current mod order *per LOOT*. Not sure why it put my bashed patch before the dual sheath redux, though I believe I read somewhere on the DSR pages that it should be last (or close), but I could be wrong on that. Also, all the unofficial patches are uninstalled, only USLEP is installed and activated. I, too, was wondering why these showed up in this, even after double checking and seeing them in NMM, but not activated. I am going to do a complete clean of all their files because apparently something got left over from them. LOOT didn't detect a problem considering they were active, which only leads me to more questions lol So take away this issue, since I am going to remedy ANY possible harm could be done there, do you have any other suggestions? Because, once again, this is my mod order organized by running LOOT.

 

Prinyo, I do have ENBoost active, it made a world of difference on some of my previous playthroughs. However, I do still agree that the problem I am having could be memory usage. I discovered I didn't even have an SKSE.ini somehow (unless I looked in the wrong place), so I went about installing the Memory Block Use utility and am going to run it to see if I am filling up Memory Block 1. Thank you for reaffirming what some other people have suggested on other channels!

[Need help with modding Skyrim!]

Ok, I have been playing Skyrim ever since it first came out, first on Xbox360, now on PC. I have modded the game an unbelievable amount of times, usually ending up going to another game out of frustration because of CTDs. This time, however, I'm determined. But I can't do it alone anymore, I need some help. I am getting inconsistent CTDs that I am not able to replicate. One time it'll crash here, next time it won't. World spaces are a big one, but I've been in a menu, talking to someone, just anything random. Here is my load order:

As you can see, I have used Wrye Bash to create a bashed patch. This is also my load order using LOOT. Any questions regarding my pc, I will answer, but it's a beast that has no problems running more recent games on ultra settings, such as Witcher 3, Fallout 4, etc. Do you see any bad mods, questionable load order, ANYTHING at all that might cause a problem? If you have any questions, let me know. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
