HELP - Sudden "Blackface bug" on vampires mid play-through


dreaton

Recommended Posts

I've been going through a new play-through with a fresh install of SE and mods with SKSE64 and an ENB. All worked perfectly, no crashes, nothing. Until I ran into a vampire in a modded quest and then later, the vampires from Dawnguard and their faces where black. I think this is called the "Blackface bug, bu only vampires have it, except for Serana's family. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, as I am generally new to modding Special Edition and don't have much know how with the creation kit. Many thanks in advance!

I've tried disabling the Sacrosanct as well as Enhanced Character Edit, but it still persisted.
If any more info is needed I will try and get it. Example:

So did you see vampires that looked normal and then add an .esp, whereupon the problem presented itself? If so it might be that.

No, I started a brand new game with these mods installed after a lot of testing to make a stable installation. But I never saw this. Just kinda popped up. I think I've found the culprit though. The warpaint mod Wyldtats might be the problem. I'll keep experimenting and follow up.

You might have to just uncheck loaded .esp in your plugins till you find the culprit, but it might be baked into the save, causing you much frustration. Once you find the issue, a load order change might help?
