LE Argonian vampires color fixes

[immortalfrieza]

In Oblivion, Argonian vampires reset to their defaul color and getting humanish pink eyes after turning, which ended up looking very ugly (still looking for a mod to fix that BTW). Thankfully, Bethesda fixed that in Skyrim, but instead they made it so that the colors of the Argonian weren't even close to what I set them as. My Argonian was as black as the game would let me with red eyes, but after becoming a vampire her eyes and scales turned this yellowish color, which is COMPLETELY different from what I had it as. If I wanted a yellow argonian I would have made it that way.

 

Has or can anybody fix this?

I think it's an attempt to make them 'pale'.. it combines the yellow skin with an 'old face' that makes it lighter. I could change the old face, to make it darker but it would still have some yellow..

 

I'll look into changing that if I can, I haven't had much practice with CK. Maybe I can change it so it doesn't change skins for vampires..

If they're trying to pale the argonian, why isn't my blackish argonian a dark grey after turning instead? Also, I've seen pictures of Argonians that were the same color after vampirism as they were before it. I think the reason this is an issue is that the character creator only gives the player several preset colors to choose from, instead of having several mixing color sliders that change the color as it was in previous Bethesda games. If it did, they could simply move all the sliders a little to the left to accomplish the paling affect and thus avoid completely altering what the player set. I don't like the fact that the red eyes I set turn a yellowish color too, but the eyes work, more or less, the scales on argonians are the real issue.

Ah, I was close. It adds the old face texture and defaults skin tone to a white.

 

Hmm... I think I could make it so Argonian vampire's skin tone is the same as yours, but it'd only be for yours.

It resets skin tone, but I'm able to set it to whichever tone I want, or you want.

 

So I could give you a file to match yours, I'll need a few screenshots to match up to though.

Crap, that's a problem. A while back I lost all my computer data and had to reset my computer from scratch (ARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!), and I didn't feel like restarting Skyrim, so I haven't. I don't really have any screenshots to give you.

[DeadxPixels]

Oh, lol.

[immortalfrieza]

Oh, lol.

 

So, anything else you can do?

[DeadxPixels]

I could make an assortment of different skin tone plugins for you and anyone else to select from I guess.

And also for Khajiit's,, cause their faces get really white after turning into vampires.

I'm not sure about the human races, do their skin tones go near white as a vampire even if the person was dark skinned?

Don't know, haven't tried any human races. In any case, do what you can.

I restarted, got my character as close as possible to what it was before, and used console commands to become a vampire. The result was a little different from what I got last time, but still not what I like:

Note: This picture is a bit brighter than it looks in-game.

 

After Vampirism:

As you can see, my female Argonian is much more yellowish in color after vampirism than she was originally. Interestingly enough, this female vampire Argonian looks a little better than it did with my last female vampire Argonian, but not much more. I'd still like the colors to change, maybe you could remove or change the paling effect somehow, if you had to change the paling effect, maybe change it to a dark red instead, I don't know.
