Odd aging 'glitch' between mods

Hello gang!

 

I've been using CBBE for a while and wanted to try UNP to change things up.

This is my CBBE character:

And after I installed UNP:

Anyone know why my character goes from pretty to wretched old hag just because I switched to UNP?

 

If I install SG Texture Renewal mod this problem goes away, she looks pretty again. But I want to use a more soft skin mod. Any other skin mod looks like this. I've tried 4 so far. SG being the only normal one.

 

 

In the UNP picture I'm using the "Fair Skin Complexion Sweaty Body-UNP-UNPB-UNPC" skin mod.

 

On a side note, is there a way to get the CBBE skin for UNP? I like how soft it is.

Whatever mod combination you initially used modified the facial complexion images. The setting you picked corresponds with one of the older age complexions in the base game. So when you swapped out mods the one that modified the complexions was removed and your character took on the stock appearance for that complexion.

 

The reason it goes away with SG Texture renewal is that it most likely replaces the complexion images with younger looking complexions.

 

All you need to do is use the console and type ShowRaceMenu. Without changing the race, change the complexion setting to one you desire. So long as you do not change race, your skills and such should not reset. Or if you have Dawnguard you can go visit the face changer in Riften.

 

The UV map for CBBE is different than UNP. It won't look right if applied to the UNP body. You'll have to look and see if anyone has created a texture replacer that replicates the CBBE skin for UNP. But if you want to try, install the UNP body, then manually replace ALL the femalebody_1 and femalehands_1 files found in Data > Textures > Actors > Character > Female with those from CBBE.

Hello Ishara,

 

Thank you for the reply! I also thought it would be a complexion issue. But I played with all the sliders in the Head category, and most other categories for that matter, and none of them seem to fix the issue. I've resorted to using SG texture renewal for now, I'll just have to get used to not being able to change skin mods.

 

I know CBBE uses a different map, that's why I asked if anyone had a version for UNP. :P

 

While removing CBBE, I also uninstalled Bella's better females and HAGs tattoos, and now each time I load a save, my character has a large tattoo across her face. When I open ShowRaceMenu it vanishes immediately. You wouldn't happen to know why this happens? I tried reinstalling said mods, but HAGs was never suppose to work with my system, since I use Ehanced Character Edit and not RaceMenu. And I don't think Bella's has tattoos. I really don't understand. I had installed HAGs a long time ago and forgotten about it, it had never worked because I didn't want to uninstall ECE. Why is there suddenly tattoos on my face? Once I uninstalled Bella's and HAGs shouldn't it have gotten rid of the tattoo textures?

That certainly does sound odd.

 

Perhaps try a new game or use COC in the console at the main menu just so you can compare how setting up a new character compares to trying to modify an existing one.

 

If any of the mods you removed were more than just replacers (i.e. had an esp file) chances are that some records used to make your character were modified. By removing them the records reverted and either displayed what they really were or the game was merely trying to fill in the blanks with what it thought should be there.
