I searched really hard for a fix to this bug on the forums so if I missed a thread please point me in the right direction. This is a problem that I've seen a lot of people ask about on the forums but none seem to know it's cause. The dreaded uneven eyes in racemenu because of bad overlay of eyeliner. I've found multiple posts about this problem (with no fixes or suggestions) in this forum and other forums regarding the eyeliner not being symmetrical on both eyes. Here's a link to another post someone else made half a year ago. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1385520-texture-out-of-place/ They took really good pictures of the problem, be sure to have a look at what I'm talking about. So, I decided to do some testing by removing mods to find conflicts and I've tracked the problem down to the following file from my SG female textures renewal mod. ---->double eyelashes on upper eyelid of left eye caused by...femalenordeyelinerstyle_01.dds --->found in Skyrim\data\Textures\actors\character\characterassets After that, I downloaded a replacement eyeliner file to replace this one and the problem still occurs. This implies that it's not so much of a problem with the file, but with maybe the racemenu. This problem has appeared for me when using either UNP or CBBE body mods. Bug has gone away at one point for the UNP version, but has now come back, after doing a clean reinstall of Skyrim and reinstalling all previous mods from before using the CBBE version. And yes, I tried uninstalling all mods (to test conflicts) and only installed CBBE body mod, racemenu, and SG female textures renewal mod and the bug is still there. I also tried reinstalling these 3 mods and no luck. Also, it's not a problem with the racemenu mod according to it's creater expired6978 who commented about this problem on the posting page found here. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D29624%26page%3D29%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D879577&pUp=1 However, I am still lead to believe the racemenu might be the culprit. My conclusion ---> The eyeliner dds file is only being mapped onto the left eye and not the right eye creating this uneven symmetry. If we can figure out how to apply the eyeliner to the right eye, I think this bug would be fixed. Now I'm not a modder, I'm just a user. If any of you modders are reading this, do you have any explanation for why the dds file above is having this issue? And...how can this be fixed? Update: I went to the enhanced character edit mod and manually downloaded the main file. I then went to meshes\character\characterassets and copied the femalehead.nif file to the directory meshes\characterassets because I didn't have a femalehead.nif file there. Loaded skyrim and the eyes were fixed. I'm posting this so others know how I fixed mine and I hope it fixes yours too.
