thunderbug Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi all I am having a problem with the face textures on vampire NPC's in my game creating a neck seam. My player character is perfectly fine with no neck seam at all. Mods effecting vampires that I use are. Bella's Better FemalesClean bodiesVampire Eyes Fix ( this not only fixes the eyes to use vampireeyes.dds or something like that but it also gets rid of the ugly face from dawnguard and uses bellas face oddly i took it as a nice bonus )Pale Vampires ( textures dont seem to be doing anything as my char gets darker *read below but i keep it for the less sunken cheeks option which does make cheeks less sunken )Better Vampires I have done some testing on the player char and the NPC's, On the player char, if my character has a light skin tone then she gets darker ( i always found this wierd but i overlooked it ). If my char has a dark skin tone then she gets darker still. This color change applies to both head and body hence no problem (other than getting darker which is sort strange for vampires lol but i can deal with that if its the only way) On NPC's thing are a little different. On light skinned NPC's ( i tried it on sylgja ) her head gets darker her but body remains the same. On dark skinned NPC's (i used sadia) her head gets lighter but her body remains the same. So on the light skinned NPC (Sylgja her head was darker than her body and on the Dark skinned NPC ( Sadia ) her body is darker than her head. I found this strange as my player char gets darker after vamprism regardless of my original skin tone. If i turn off all the above mods but leaving bella textures, i get the ugly vampire face on all vamps inc my char, but the problems with the head and body texture mismatch are still there again my player char is unaffected by this. Ignoring for a second the fact that light NPC's get darker and dark NPC's get lighter, the problem seems to stem from the fact that the body does is not changed at all on the NPC chars during the vampire transformation, and the reason my player char does not have this problem is that her body and head have the same color changed applied. Goin on this the solution seems simple enough, get the NPC's to have the same changes on their body as my char does on hers. I havnt found a mod that does this yet and i have no idea how to do it myself if im honest. Any help in this issue would be greatly appreciated. P.S my main concern at the moment is the mismatch, the fact that light NPC's and my char get darker when turned is not an issue apart from the lore aspect, but if anyone has any information regarding this little weirdness then I would appreciate that too, and if you can suggest something that fixes both at the same time ill give you a hug :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
