Having Problems with editing an NPC

I've modded for both Morrowind and Oblivion (mainly just small personal things... nothing big) , so I didn't think I would have any problems simply editing an NPC. All I did was change an NPC's hair, face shape, and default clothing, but for some reason in the game, she loses her warpaint and makeup and also turns white (she's an orc)... What am I doing wrong?

I was getting this problem too and found a fix on the Bethesda boards. Worked perfect for me.

 

"Here's a technique that helps when modifying an NPC from the base game.

 

Locate some pre-existing NPC. I chose Hadvar.

Edit the Actor > Character Gen Parts tab. I decided to make a drastic lip color change

Click MaleHeadNord_Lips.dds in the left-sice "Face Tint Layers" list

Click "Select Color" - choose something extreme, like a neon green

Slide "Interpolation Value" all the way to the right (1.0)

Click OK

In the Object Window, find the base Actor you've just edited.

With the Actor(s) selected, press ctrl+F4. Click "Yes" when prompted to export.

This will create a DDS and a TGA in ...\Syrim\data\Textures\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\Skyrim.esm

Note: The TGA is not really neccessary, as the DDS should be uncompressed.

With these textures in place, run the game and test your NPC. Note that the plugin changes need not be saved."
