Creation Kit NPC Facial Textures Help

[jet4571]

Eye makeup is an odd duck. on some of the NPC's in my CK the top one covers the whole forehead and the lower does all around the eye equally and on export the top half will be a solid color the exact shade as the upper eye makeup. Lips do not seem to change in the CK but if you make the lips bright purple they will be bright purple lipstick in the game.

 

I am having an issue with once its all exported if you do any changes it wont export again unless the files were deleted before opening the CK. Thus you need to know each setting to recreate before you can get started on any adjustments.

Notice the same thing. Got here by searching "lips". Lip changes aren't showing up in the creation kit for me either. Glad to hear though it might show up in game however.

The NPC editor by foretrenty now has the ability to load NPC's from any mod and create all new NPC's. The editor will export for esp perfectly fine. Thats an alternative workaround that can be considered.

Thanks! that fixed one of my Problems but is anyone having a Problem Changing skin color Eye makeup and Lip colors? i cant quite figure those out?

 

Bump this ^ . I've changed some of my NPC's to have custom hairstyles, lightened skin tones...but for the life of me I can't think of any way to make Muiri's makeup to go away without turning her face odd colors. It should be simple.......right?

 

Edit: Nevermind! Skyrim NPC Editor from Foretrenty actually came through for me. If you're frustrated, I'd recommend giving it a shot. :)

I think that's the upper eye socket color. I fixed mine by making it invisible and custom color.

ctrl+f4 doesn't do anything at all, no windows popping up and nothing, period.

 

1. Navigated from Actors and not All, doesn't do anything.

2. Converted to esm, doesn't do anything.

3. Selected the whole line (Line had blue selection not grey).

4. Redownloaded creation kit, just in case the software was bugged.

 

In the end, ctrl+f4 is working like as if there isn't such command at all. I'm going crazy.

[DKaikster]

Finally I got it to work, thanks guyz. For me it didn't work since I used the search function in the object window. If I manually find the actor, it works.

[EnigManic]

I've read multiple forum topics about this issue that mention selecting an actor and pressing control and F4. to create the FaceGenData. I have repeatedly tried this but no menu comes up. Can someone please give me a clue?

That scenario no longer works for me. That is, after fixinglip color and what not in the NPC Editor and saving and validating it the gamewill crash at the “New Game” or Continue” screen.
