NPC Dawnguard Vampire Face Fix

Recommended Posts

Less of a request and more of a "where is one?" cuz I'm sure there's gotta be a mod that does this somewhere. I'm looking for a mod that can change the nasty vampire bat-face for NPC's to the normal head. I'm using Normal Dawnguard Vampire Faces by jm220 which is working great, but it only affects the player. I ran across another one called Beautiful Vampires V2 by DarOne45 that changes NPC's, but it seems like it only does stuff to the specific vamp NPC's already in the game, and I'm really looking for something that does this for followers that I turn myself via the Better Vampires mod by Brehanin.

 

I'm more or less oblivious when it comes to modding, but I guess all that needs to be done is changing the head reference for vamps to use the normal head instead of the vampire head (according to Normal Dawnguard Vampire Faces description), so I'm thinking there's gotta be something like this floating around somewhere, but I couldn't find anything for it.

I have no idea why isn't there any interest in this. Even in-game vampires looking like gargoyles doesn't make sense. Everyone is pretending Sybille Stentor looks youthful while it's glaringly obvious what she is. Not to mention the dawnguards having no idea the player is a vampire until they use the sun-rays thing. NPC dialogue confirms you can't tell a vampire apart from a living person.

 

I have only basic knowledge of TES5Edit, isn't fixing the vampire looks as easy as finding where Dawnguard overwrites the appearance of the vampires, then copying the original overwritten stuff from Skyrim.esm and placing them after Dawnguard so they take priority?

This is pretty much it, and could also be why no one has uploaded a "mod" for it. It's simply a matter of replacing/overwriting the default (read: hideous) "vampire" head textures, with ... whatever you prefer.
