[LE] My followers have dark face for some users

[MichaelDovah]

Hi, I recently decided to share some followers that I developed for personal use on nexus and some of them received some downloads and a good response (I also use them through Nexus now) but for some people it seems to have a gray face, my follower is fully developed with base game items, no custom hair, no custom skin tone or anything like that. To confirm export the gen data to all of them (ctrl+F4).

 

Do I just use the esp file in creating the ZIP file or do I need to include something else? Sorry for the question if it's inappropriate but I really don't know what could be wrong. Remembering that for most people it works without this bug.

 

Thank you very much for your attention and sorry for my english because that is not my language.

Maybe they have some vanilla replaced mods? So your mod using vanilla eyes, hair etc. But them have vanilla replaced, so your mod can't start property with vanilla replaced head parts. Just a theory.

 

I also met that problem with my follower mod. So my idea is create duplicate for all headparts that using your follower, to avoid any vanilla replaced conflicts at user side. And ctrl+f4 is very important part. That help for me, but I have custom race. If you use vanilla race, then maybe that way not good way. Don't know

 

What your follower mod have that problem (at user side)? Let's I check it at my side :smile:

 

Sorry for my english. It's also not my native language :smile:

Many thanks for the reply. This makes a lot of sense because I have some texture mod in my game so this can influence something for those who don't use this mod or use another mod with the same purpose.

 

Thank you very much. In that case when you created duplicates did you think about all the other replacement modes for textures? That must have been a lot of work for you! I got messages about two but this is the one that got the most downloads: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/66793

 

I really thank you a lot for your help and I also apologize if my english is a little confused haha

For me she working fine, but in mod I didn't find facegendata. Many users have problem with black face, because mod didn't include facedata (ctrl+f4 in creation kit). I think need to create facedata and that solve problem at user side.

 

 

 

 

 

Your english is fine. More harder to speak with native english speaker, because there have chance that native speaker don't understood what I said XD

Thank you very much! You helped me a lot.

 

I'll look for these files and learn how to include them with the esp at first I believed that just exporting the facegendata would be enough. But it is not and this is the answer to the error for some users.

 

Thank you so much for your help friend and adding: she is AWESOME in your game (Im saving this pic now). Yes! It's very easy to understand what you say your English is great

You look like just forgot to put facegendata to zip? You mod have ONLY esp, and no facgendata (foldier meshes\actors\character\facegendata\facegeom\YOUESP.esp\NUMBERS.nif and textures\actors\character\facegendata\YOUESP.esp\NUMBERS.dds)

 

Why you zip have only esp file and havn't facegendata? :smile:

 

For example follower mod from another modder have facegendata in zip:

 

Do you know how create facegendata via creation kit? Do you know where it saved after you generate these facegendata files?

You really saved me!

 

I actually didn't know how to create this ZIP file properly. So don't include the Facegendata files as I thought it would work without them for everyone but your message demonstrates exactly how to do that! I searched the internet for the exact way to compress these files but I couldn't find anything! I just fixed all my mods thanks to you.

 

From now on I will know how to compress the files correctly so that it works for everyone I thank you very much for your help, I hope everything works now haha
