Settlers contorted faces bug

[LeonTubrok]

Iv noticed settlers faces starting to look weird, their noses are twisted up curling round and their eyebrows bent up their forhead.

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/Images/38414/

 

I have looked at any mod that changes settlers faces that I have installed (Better settlers, beautiful female settlers, The new settlers a plus Overhaul vanilla - NewFace_Settlers) and disabled them, but it has made no difference.

 

is there anyone who knows how to reset back to normal or anyone had a similar problem?

[fallotmetabolic]

Don't think disabling mod will fix it right away cause they edit vanilla settings and they will stay in your save file. I use bs and bfs and when some glitches appear i just go to another location and it all become normal. Have you tried quick travel \ wait for some ingame time like it's stated in the description of those modifications ? And it also can be conflict on one particular face preset cause you have 4 of em.

[LeonTubrok]

Iv left it for days in game time and traveled away and back.

 

What im now trying is just selecting any i see borked and using slm and just selecting a different face preset, that fixes them. prob is there are so many of them!

 

to see if its even a perminant fix i have marked them out with different hats and will leave it a few in game days and go back to see if they stay fixed

would be better if there was just some quicker way to fix them all.

 

I also get a random thing were settlers get dark skin faces while their body stays paler, however this seems to only be when I walk into a settlement rather than fast travel to it. if i fast travel to a settlement i dont get the dark faces so can only guess its something to do with the loading textures.

[Disgruntled82]

I have the exact same problem and I have found out that its ONLY Far Harbor settlers that get wierd. I have no solution yet.

 

Leontubrok would you mind posting your loadorder here so we can compare ours? Might be a mod. All I know that it is not "Better Settlers" since Far Harbor settlers are selected from a different table and Better Settlers does not change that (according to the author of that mod whom I talked to about this problem).

Have you tried just clicking him and use disable + enable? It should reset their appearance and pull a new look from the NPC pool.

[bobofudd]

I noticed this problem too when I played through Far Harbor. I have Better Settlers and The New Settlers installed with a compatibility patch which was supposed to bring a large variety to the settler appearances. Instead, I got only 4-5 different settlers with multiples of 4. And a few of the women have disfigured faces. You don't notice it much from a distance but when you walk up to them and look, they are extremely ugly. I tried to update TNS with the latest compatibility patch but in order to do that, I need to uninstall the old and when I do, the game refuses to start. So for now, I just left it the way it is.

I haven't tried that but it sounds like it may be worth a shot. I'm guessing though, it would pull the same appearance since I keep getting multiples at the same settlement.

[Disgruntled82]

Bobofudd. Are you using the mod "Dont call me settler"?

[LeonTubrok]

I tried the, dsable,enable but while sometimes changed their face, it was still contorted.
I have noticed it on the mainland settlers too but it may be becaouse i sent them there from far harbour.
It does seem the best way so far is selecting each one and SLMing them and selecting a new preset face.

I tried the, dsable,enable but while sometimes changed their face, it was still contorted.

I have noticed it on the mainland settlers too but it may be becaouse i sent them there from far harbour.

It does seem the best way so far is selecting each one and SLMing them and selecting a new preset face.

LeonTubrok do you use "Don't call me settler" aswell? (I could not find it in my own loadorder even if Im using it).

[Disgruntled82]

I tried disable and enable. Just changed face on them but still consorted.

 

slm did work though.
