All NPCs have blackface bug, what can I do?

[Astrocyte]

So I'm running modded SSE and every character but for a follower added by a mod and the player character is suffering from the black face. I've tried disabling all the mods that affect faces, both in terms of textures and models, and the problem persists. I've also followed advice from other threads and used the Creation Kit Ctrl+F4 fix, which hasn't worked at all. I received thousands of "should have been converted offline" error messages trying this. My modlist is as follows:

 

Mods with a dash in front are installed from NMM, the rest are from the ingame modding system:

-Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer is also present but does not show in the load order for some reason.

 

I suspect that a conflict was caused by the Humanoid Vampires Fix, but running with that and my other faces changes turned off does not fix the bug. Since I'm playing a vampire build, I am unwilling to play without it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mannequins Stay Put

Whats your rig?

[TheWilloughbian]

You'll need to post your load order. Did you try LOOT?

[Astrocyte]

i7-5820 3.3 GHz 6- core processor, 16 GB ram, basically enough to handle whatever.

 

Sorry, I'll edit the original post to show the nexus mods in order with the ingame manager mods. Oh, and I haven't tried LOOT, what is it?

Run LOOT and see if that helps.

Also get SSEedit.

Copy/paste LOOT load order between

tags. LOOT sorts your load order for you.

 

Open LOOT from inside NMM and hit the three dots top right of the interface and choose Copy Load Order from the roll-out menu.

 

TheWilloughbian beat me to it... follow his lead ;)

Unfortunately running LOOT hasn't helped. New load order is as follows:

I'll give SSEedit a shot next.

[TheWilloughbian]

My guess is Humanoid Vampires is conflicting with USSEP. You need to load the mods up in SSEedit to check. I'm not sure what other mods you have make edits to races.

[Astrocyte]

I've tried SSEedit, and it does seem to say that Humanoid Vampires is winning a conflict with USSEP. What can I do to fix it?

[TheWilloughbian]

Alright, my dude. First thing, were gonna try a little test. With Dawnguard installed you shouldn't even need that Humanoind Vamps mod, as DG makes it so PC Vamps don't have the split face IRC. So, open up NMM, go to the plugins tab, find that mod and untick the box thereby disabling the ESP. Then load up the game and see what you get. I think you'll find that everything will be fine.

 

So, try out the little test and get back to me.

 

Also, the in game mod system isn't really the way to go. It's clunky and gives you no control. Shop around on the Nexus first and see if the mod you want is there. You are running a fairly heavily modded game and really should be using a mod manager. Some people like NMM some like MO. With the way your game is modded, you might want to look into MO. I have never tried it, so I can't really advise you there.
