LE Need help with face textures

[Carl S]

Hello

 

I have edited a NPC face (Vivienne Onis) in the CK, and now the face texture colours seems to be bugged.

I can't get rid of the brown/ash colour of her face in game , even if it looks OK in the CK.

If anybody knows how to fix this , - please help .

Happens with most of characters. Especialy Khajits. Many say its becouse of replacing textures in game by mods and they make conflicts. DOnt belive it. I dont use any custom face textures and I also get this error.

I don't know if you have tried this and it hasn't worked, but there is a simple fix for that. First make sure you don't have any face or body mods loaded up. Then go into the CK, select your NPC in the objects window and push Ctl-F4. That exports the face mesh and textures and they will work until you make any further changes to the NPC face. You can then reload the face and body mods, if you use any but remember to unload them when you need to update the faces.

Thank you ch0k3h0ld , - it works ,- what a relief. :thumbsup:

Kudos to you.

You are very welcome. That is a frustrating bug to have. It took me awhile to discover that the face and body mods interfere in the process. It also took awhile to discover that any change you make, no matter how small, requires you to export that face again. It can be a real pain if you have a bunch of NPCs to manage. I only have 7 so far but plans call for a bunch more. Take care.

You probally have a skin femalehead_s.dds that does not match the body skin, either you are adding a femalehead_s.dds that does not match the body or your are not adding and the body mod expects a particular femalehead_s.dds.
