Zae1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/7kpFkJP.png?1 I don't know...one day I woke up and they were like this. I had manually installed a texture (For children, to make them look less...less something). I can't find the mod now considering I cleaned out my computer to fix CTD's (Lol...) thinking it'd help, but that's a different story. What the hell is wrong here? Note, every woman has this in the light, Saphire has them ALWAYS, it makes her face unrecognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's an issue with the specular map (femalehead_s.dds). What face mod are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zae1 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Umm...I think I'm using Better Females by Bella - Less Makeup Version...but I have a few face mods enabled, I tried to mess around with them and maps but it doesn't seem to wanna work. I also recently used "Nidia's Face..."something for kids, maybe that was it?It's an issue with the specular map (femalehead_s.dds). What face mod are you using?

Zae1 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 So I just checked, Im using Coverwomen_3 Better Females by Bella - No Makeup Version and http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7485/? ... I just manually did this one (For the children) After this it seems my female chars permanently look like they have static on their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Do you use CBBE? This issue is a known one for those who use TexBlendLite on Bella's face textures, and for the face mods where the spec map is much larger than normal. Q14: After using TexBlend, my character's face has large white/shiny blocky areas. How do I fix this?A1: Disable compression in the texblend/setdefs/basehead.xml file. Look for the female head specular map and set <compresstex> from 1 to 0. (it's on line 35). Then reinstall the mod's head textures, and reapply texblend.A2: Go to your Skyrim/Data/Textures/actors/character/female folder and delete femalehead_s.dds. It's not ideal, but it should fix the issue. The femalehead_s.dds is the 'specular map', which controls how shiny or dull a face texture is. For a very small number of people, using TexBlend causes it to become buggy.A3: For some people, a total reinstall of CBBE and the head texture of your choice fixes it.A4: Usually this occurs with Bella's face texture #3. One user has said installing the 'no shine' option from that mod fixes it. Edited May 23, 2013 by Jeir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zae1 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Omg thank you so much! Everything is back to normal now thanks to you! I skipped the first two answers due to me never using Texblend, I reinstalled CBBE and then applied the 'no shine' from Bella's optional files and it worked, not sure which step though, but it's all the same to me. Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
