Pink Neck Bug

For whatever reason, all female characters in my save have missing textures on the backs of their necks. I don't know what's causing it.

There was a mod in my list I had to delete. If I remember, I'll post it.......

Your textures are for a different human model.

Not clear on all the technical mechanics of it all, but CBBE requires a back of head texture, as does Vanilla (IIRC ???).

Fusion Girl and who knows whatever else does not require this texture AFAIK. So effectively you have a texture/model mismmatch, or missing texture.

It's called "femalebhed_d.dds" which also requires femalebhed_n.dds, and femalebhed_s.dds.

Look for those in your archives and drop them in "textures\Actors\Character\basehumanfemale\" folder.

If you don't have it nearly all skin packs do have it, you can check the download file contents before acquiring to be sure...

 

Note: searching my archives Zex FG 1.75 does have this texture included, but, I know for certain I'm not using it... Weird. :huh:

As for the Technicalities of it.

Since Fallout4 is one of those games that uses different game models for the heads, hands, body (and possibly feet?) each of those models are textured separately.

 

Bethesda took it one step further, and applied separate texture areas to the head model. The face texture adds/removes age from the looks of the character. Then there's a texture for the top of the head (which is usually not afflicted by brown face bug, I think) and then another one again, for the back of the neck (Yes, I've seen JUST that one get hit by brownface bug. It's ugly as hell!)

 

People wonder, why the hell did Beth overcomplicate it like that?

The best GUESSES that I can come up with, is that there may be texture files that work with the vanilla hairstyles. To cover up imperfections in the meshes, since they don't always line up correctly with the shape/size of the head. It could also be for characters that have no hair (bald).
