Deleted48942638User Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I wish mod authors would stop uploading loose file NPC replacers, this problem then wouldn't even exist. Do yourself a favor and pack the files in a bsa. The game will also run smoother as it is optimized for using archives. Unless the mod author modified a record and somehow forgot to include a matching facegen, no more problems. I have a bunch of NPC replacers loaded, either mine or others, covering every NPC - and NO ISSUES. I simply use esp load order to get the look I want for each NPC.

I love BSAs :tongue: I've learned to just do it myself. Tedious, but once it's done, it's done, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exceptions are those mods that pack their own custom hairs without using vanilla hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomomi1922 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I just found another cause of black face. I was editing a body skin, an then saved it back to .dds. There is a barrage of options for DDS saving, auto mipmap generation? compression? alpha? I saved as BC7 compression (which I know SSE can support). I chose Color + Alpha ... having an Alpha channel added turned the body black. I resaved the texture file without an alpha channel, it turned out fine.
