Nexus101010 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I recently downloaded SSE and was preparing for a modded playthrough when certain parts of NPCs' hair and scalp became solid grey. When I used the console (coc RiftenOrigin) to transport myself to the Riften marketplace, it was dark green rather than grey. I disabled my hair mods, all mods, etc, and finally reinstalled SSE to no avail. I'm using integrated Intel graphics which are below SSE's recommendations, but it was working fine on BethINI's Poor preset just a few days ago. Here's a screenshot of this glitch during the opening sequence of a completely vanilla, freshly reinstalled game: https://i.imgur.com/dqKsClo.jpg Any and all help is appreciated!
TheWilloughbian Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Looks like you are missing scalp textures. You may need to do some manual editing of you texture folders.
Nexus101010 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks for the reply. By texture folders, do you mean the "Skyrim - Textures#.bsa" files? There's no textures folder in my Data folder at the moment, presumably because I've only reactivated USSEP and Alternate Start. And how could I get those missing scalp textures? Verifying file integrity through Steam hasn't changed anything.
TheWilloughbian Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) That shouldn't be happening then. You could have a look at your mods in SSEedit see if anything is editing "hairline" meshes, or making race edits. Edited January 5, 2018 by TheWilloughbian
Nexus101010 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 I'd be quite surprised if a mod were causing this seeing as it still happened on a new vanilla game right after a reinstall. I've got very little experience with this sort of thing but I'll take a look with SSEEdit and maybe dig around in the bsa files when I have the time.
Nexus101010 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Well, I gave up and "fixed" the issue with Shiva's hair replacer (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7922/). Thanks to MrDjPeca on this thread for pointing me that way. I've tried a couple other hair replacers but Shiva's was the only one that worked. The hairs are sometimes jarringly fancy (beggars looking fresh off the runway, lol) and small grey scalp patches still sometimes poke through, but it's tolerable. Hopefully future Googlers stumbling across this thread will find a better fix. Edited January 7, 2018 by Nexus101010
mauvegorilla Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I've had this issue too... after changing bethini's preset to poor as well (made some other tweaks, but didn't install other mods or anything). seems like too much of a coincidence to be nothing.

189324 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Its because of bethini poor, if you use that or a specific configuration setting that is too low. Im loosing my mind trying to find which one
legolandmafia Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) same issue.i had a fresh install, because i was haunted by this problem last try. worked perfectly vanilla with USSEP, Bijin AIO and Alt start...ran bethini poor and boom! grey artifacts on hir and beards.Running Bethini again on higher quality didn't change it back, so trying Shiva's now.... Also of note is that using the "Restore to before Bethini" function did not remove the artifacts :S I really don't want to do another fresh install, not 2 nights in a row.....

BalkuSkyrim Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Having the same issue. Also using bethini poor. Edit: switched it to low and itâs working now. Edited January 28, 2019 by BalkuSkyrim
