Hey there, I have the exact same issue, and I think I fixed it. I first encountered it when loading presets in Race Menu. Strangely, older presets (like 2 years old) didn't have this issue. Comparing the jslot files, I found that the newer ones have a section with the following: "skinOverrides" : [ { "firstPerson" : false, "slotMask" : 4, "values" : [ { "data" : "textures\\actors\\character\\female\\estrusfemalebody_1_s.dds", "index" : 7, "key" : 9, "type" : 2 } ] } That's a specular texture that doesn't exist on my computer, so I can only guess that is some issue introduced by Racemenu. Since the texture doesn't exist, you just get 100% shiny. What you can do is delete that section (open in notepad then do a search for "skinOverrides") from your present. Then reload the preset and problem solved.
