Why my faces are always so deformed? (Racemenu/ECE)

[Nardologist]

So ever since I started messing with Racemenu I had deformation problems, where the faces/presets would not come out as I idealized or saw in the mod pages, but considering how many mods I tended to have I chalked it up to some incompatibility issue that would take a lotta time to solve so I decided to hold off on a hard answer and just smoothed up any rough stuff through the Vertex Edit/sculpt and a couple slider tweaks.

 

That said, now after a lot of reinstallations, uninstallations, returns to the game, and rearrangements, I still seem to be getting these deformations and I'm not sure why. I would also get weird glitches with the eyes and lips, sometimes, and etcetera. I just don't know if to what extent this is normal or if I completely mucked up a basic rule somewhere.

 

Any help as to what I'm/mod combo is screwing up? I'mma try to re-do everything from scratch and but thanks to my schedule it might take a while.

Would need a mod and load order list.

Sorry for the (super) late reply, I was gonna post this up earlier but got stalled then ended up uninstalling Skyrim from my computer. But it's back now.

 

The thing is, I think the problem (if it does have to do with conflicting mods) might be coming from a manual install (either that or some sneaky files not being picked up by NMM during uninstallation); I just don't remember which exactly...I know I did a complete uninstallation of the game at least twice already. In any case, this is the load order.

A couple cheat spells, nude skins (and spells :-P), custom armor and hair/eyes, etc. Outta these I'm not sure which is the culprit, unless the load order itself is one...

Have you run everything through LOOT and cleaned your master files with TesVEdit?

[Nardologist]

I have run 'em through LOOT but haven't used TESVEdit yet; once I get the time tomorrow I'll try it and let you know how it goes!
