Following this guide, i transfered RaceMenu head to a follower. But why does it use generic texture instead of followers' ?

I followed this guide: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Using_a_face_made_with_RaceMenu_on_an_NPC_for_Skyrim

 

to transfer a head, made in RaceMenu from a .jslot file preset, to a follower.

 

Worked fine but i have a problem, baaically it's like the follower still has a player's head, because:

 

- i used The eyes of beauty PLAYER (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13722?tab=files) andif i disable that mod the follower won't have eyes too, as if it was the player.

 

- i got demoniac skin (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70834) which puts its files in texture/actors/character/female, effecting all NPCS, the player's body too and...my follower's head!!

 

- same happens with BROWS (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30411), disabling brows alters the follower brows too.

 

I wanted to remove demoniac skin and just keep it applied to my follower. For the body it's ok, the follower has its own folders for textures so i just copied the files there and even if i uninstall demoniac she still has the glossy skin.

 

But not the head; if i disable demoniac only the head will revert to vanilla skin's appearance. I wish the follower's head would use the textures in the follower's folder, just like the body, so i can put the demoniac textures there and then disable the mod; i don't like having it applied to all females

 

Any idea how to change this?

Tell me if u need to inspect the .jslot nexus wont let me upload it ill made a link if needed

 

 

TLDR:

follower's head made with this guide isnt truly of the follower because it uses resources (skin texture, eyes, brows) in the generic game folders instead of the ones in its own follower folders. Can i change that somehow? I want the head to use the textures in the follower's head folder, not the textures in Data\Textures\Actors\Character\female

apparently in nifskope i can set the texture search paths under bslighting node or something.

only question is what do i even have an esp for if the .nif searches textures and everything by itself
