Skyrim - Mod Detectives Thread

Does anyone know of a good 3rd person camera mod? Both for combat and running around. I had search for this and the ones I have found had dead links.
Can you describe what exactly you want?
A mod that shifts the camera or whatever to make 3rd person viewing more comfortable. The 3rd person camera during combat feels a bit awkward, which forces me to go into 1st person to make sure I'm hitting the enemy.

you can shift the camera in all the various positions individually

So if you look a little ways down the page (for the picture). I have been dealing with this issue and it is killing me.
I have tried:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21656/?
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21921/?
Nothing works. In fact I seem to have made everything worse. I made a new character and slowly applied changes until I got an optimal level of neckseam-acceptableness. Eventually I did reduce the seam to an acceptable level (using the DG Vamp Face Fix mod listed above) but I didn't have any of my character textures on (XCE, XCE DG, CBBE installed in that order so you get a nice face and good body). In the photos in the first link, that is basically how things looked. So on my new character, I closed the game, added the stuff and went back in. Seams got worse and for some reason my eyes aren't vampire eyes. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, I did not add this mod at anytime on this character and still have not. I used it on another character that had been going and it didn't work. So don't point out that that is my issue. It isn't.

It sounds like I am trying to troubleshoot but I am not, I am here because:

Is there a mod that fixes the Vampire heads for CBBE or XCE? I use both as CBBEs faces arent the best and XCE doesn't make anyone naked. Are there mods that fix this now? Most of the stuff I tried to google was from 2012, so it isn't current. My friend said he uses a nude mod that also has a patch that fixes it, but he didn't know which one and was too lazy to check for me (douche). What mod might that be?

>>>>>>>SOMEONE HELP ME MAKE THIS GO AWAY. I just want all of the vampires in my game to have the same eyes and no neck seams. Is there something I haven't been able to find on the Nexus that will help?<<<<<<<<
Sup. Do me a favor I am not fully sure that it is the same issue but I believe it is. Have a look here read the whole thing and follow the directions. Let me know if the issue is still there. If it is we will try something else :wink:
I use CBBE only and don't have those issues. Also during CBBE installation the mod can be set as never nude. First try only use the original CBBE texture with nothing on top of it and let me know how is it doing :wink:

I have no clue how to use the CK. I don't really want to get involved with it either. I was just looking for a nude mod that came with a patch so vampire heads are not ugly.

The issue is because as of DG, vampires have a stupid universal face texture that makes them not work with modded bodies. I figured it wasn't unreasonable to expect the community to have figured this one out but I guess I was wrong.

The first photo is what I am trying to fix. For some reason vampires can't help but look like s*** in my game. The second photo is my character after becoming a vampire, and the third is prevampire.. For some reason my eyes are not vampire eyes. I can use Showracemenu to change them, but when I use Mortals Mask (from Better Vampires) my eyes stay Vampire eyes which defeats the entire purpose. I also have a weird shading/glow that I have no idea where it came from. Aside from better vampires and CBBE (with the facepack installed) I don't have any other mods going so I am very confused and upset because I shouldn't have those eyes. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25382/? I found this mod and it worked! The neck seams on the vampires seem to disappear as their head colors matched the body. But as the mod says, for some reason there is a glitch that makes the eyes not be vampire eyes. Sounds like my problem right? No. I ininstalled every god damn mod I have and reinstalled everything and didn't use that mod. Even made a fresh character to experiment with. I am not using the mod and haven't applied it to any of the characters in the photo. There is no reason I should be getting a glitch from it. This only happens to female vampires for some reason. If I use that mod it happens to both male and female but without it, just females are affected and have s*** eyes.

I'm at my wits end. I don't understand what I did to cause this. I just want a mod that works like the one I posted above, only it doesn't cause issues with my game. I find it very hard to believe there is no fix for my issue. I've googled it and it seems to be a very common problem.

EDIT: http://imgur.com/aDkAkES This is what my face looks like without CBBE's facepack or anything installed. AND FOR SOME DAMN REASON, MY EYES ARE NOT VAMPIRE EYES. You can also see my neckseam fairly well, and it is worse on other vampire characters. I don't know what I did but I just want seamless vampires with DG eyes. That brings up another issue. For some reason some vampires in my game have the old vampire eyes instead of the new ones. What gives?

I think you need to make a tread for support, since this look like troubleshooting than finding a mod. Anyway post your mod load list. Maybe it can help pinpoint the problem

Well I did that (troubleshooting post) and absolutely nothing happened. And I know it sounds like I need support (which I totally do) but I initially came here searching for a nude mod that was patched so vampires have the appropriate textures but I guess my friend was full of s***. I also use BOSS.

I recommend looking at the full resolutions for the mods. I am going to make another post in the troubleshooting thread soon. But if you look at the last mod I have installed, that mod seems to work only my character has their human eyes instead of vampire eyes. I looked at the eyes on the vampire NPC and they do not have this problem. When I am not using that mod, the seam problem happens and my eyes are still messed up, only instead of being my blue human eyes they are brown for some reaon.

I'm really surprised their aren't a bunch of mods to fix this issue. I've read about many other users dealing with this.

I also made an edit to the post that IZ-Master quoted, not sure if it is helpful info or not.

Is this problem present on all armors ? My guess at the moment is that some of your armor arent compatible with CBBE and use default body, which mean they also use default skin or a skin not based on CBBE
