racemenu sculpt challenge for any interested

[ghowriter]

looking for someone to sculpt this face into a racemenu preset you can set it to a nord if you like; i've tried for three hours, i cannot get the lips right and no lip presets work and, her mouth makes or breaks the model

I am really beginning to think I am being ignored on this forum. I have  a few posts here yet not one person has ever replied to anything. I'm probably being paranoid. I'd have paid to get this done but I guess no one is interested or they'd have responded by now. I read a lot of talk about how friendly the community is and how helpful. I have to say that I don't see it. No matter. I hope no one ever treats any of you the way all of you have treated me.

ghowriter, I doubt you're being actively ignored.  Most likely, no one who knows the answer to your questions has seen them yet.  If someone has a constructive answer to give and sees your posts, they will reply.

Myself, I haven't messed with face sculpting in RaceMenu, aside from making one Nord character's ears pointy to make him a half-elf.  I've never really used effectshaders on my characters.  And I've never created custom races, and know nothing about how the ear models/textures are set up.  Otherwise I'd have answered very quickly.

No help here, ghowriter, just wanted to put in my two cents worth:

It is my impression that the number of experienced participants in this forum has dropped greatly since the forums were updated, and that was also after a pretty big kerfluffle over mod collections, and the ensuing withdrawal of mod authors a couple of years back.  When you add to this the recent release of BG3 and Starfield, among others, which I am sure that many are investigating their options in those worlds, the number of people available on this forum who are capable of answering your question has been greatly reduced.  Also remember, the mod pages themselves are not yet part of this forum, don't know exactly when/how they will be integrated.  I know that I miss being able to search the comments on a mod's page.

Most of us won't answer a post, unless they feel they have something useful to add, or to share.

fair enough... just seemed unusual not getting any reply on any post, lol

My suggestion is to scour Nexus mods for character face presets,  note those whose work you find a cut above the rest - or close to what you are looking for - and try to get in touch with authors of those presets via PM.    See if any of them would be willing to tackle this one.

Off the top of my head,  I could recommend:
LamaKreis

Seraevy

TheFaceSculptor

Dovahkiinathay

I withdraw the request since I deleted racemenu and skse since the game was unplayable with these installed. (kept crashing at exact same place until i reinstalled the game after deleting the entire skyrim folder)... I would still like to have her face on my character but it will never happen unless I edit the mesh directly which I am unqualified to do.

Now I'm curious what was going wrong with RaceMenu.  I've had it forever in LE, and haven't had trouble with it in SE really -- aside from the occasional crash after browsing though, like, every hair ApachiiSkyHair adds a couple times.

What was that exact same place?  If it's one of the races or specific body parts, then maybe that's the issue instead.

A wrong  .tri assigned to a mesh in a headpart record =  an almost guaranteed CTD.    That said, I got HP head, a ton of brows and eyes, Apachii hair, SS Hairs, SG Haiurs, SMP variants from Ding, Tullius hair pack etc etc, and it is stable as a rock.    That said, when I tried dabbling with TeraElin Race by Acro, it definitely had issues.
