Creation Kit Errors : custom NPCs Have dark heads !

Here is a link to the wiki: Dark Face Bug.

I was having trouble with this until (after several hours of trying) I realized the game MUST be updated with the latest updates (currently at 9 I think) after I updated the game all my created NPC's were as they should be.

 

Hope this helps you all, and remember if you have "Is CharGen Face Preset" selected the fix will not work.

 

So to recap.......

 

UPDATE the game.

Select the NPC you have created/edited.

Hit Ctrl + F4

Click on ok at the "Export face gen data for all selected NPC's" confirm box. (The render window might go blank at this time just reload your cell to get it back)

Restart the game and all should be ok.

Hiya Guyz

 

Dam grey face bug, ugh same problem for me. What I did was load mod into CK as normal set the texture I wanted then click ok. now go to where your mod is in object window highlight then press Ctrl-F4, click yes then save. Upload your mod. Im still having issues with users not getting the correct texture but in my game the follower is working properly with correct textures. :thumbsup:

I don't know what would cause all NPC's in the game to have mismatched textures, unless you edited them each and messed something up. But if you are editing one or two NPC's in the CK then open up your mod with edited NPC and highlight them in the actor list, then press Control + F4. This will make a facegendata section in your skyrim data folder, which can be found in textures, characters, actors. Once you find it delete the whole folder. That should fix any individual NPC problems.

 

EDIT: If skyrim tells you there are errors just press ignore all, likewise if it says anything else about the textures click yes to all. But specifically for errors make sure you press ignore all.

 

 

Been looking for a solution to the problem and searching through thread after thread, all telling me that by doing the ol CTRL + F4 and relaunching CK would work....well, I have been trying that for an hour now. Your post helped me and I must say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
