Dawnguard Vampire Head and Hand Color Mismatch (females only)

[EvilDeadAsh34]

Does anyone know what could possibly be causing the female Vampires in Dawnguard to have head and body mismatch? Male vampires are fine but the women have different colored heads and hands and i'll guess feet (i never looked at the feet). It's the exact same problem that happens when creating a custom NPC. By the way, I don't have any problems with normal females just female vampires....

 

I'm using CBBE as my body replacer and a custom/modified version of the sporty sexy body texture.

 

 

Thanks if you can help.

Do you have FNIS and PCEA?

Do you have FNIS and PCEA?

 

I'm not sure what the second one is but i don't think so. I definitely don't use FNIS.

 

 

Anyway, I've been playing Dawnguard a little more and i narrowed it down to the new "bat-face" vampires. The normal human-like vampires are fine, it's just the new ones that have the mismatch. Maybe they have an odd colored head texture.

The new vampires use different head textures and normal maps, so it could be the reason. For me only the heads were different and it was caused by PCEA (PC Exclusive Animation). For some reason the new textures didn't work at all when i used the mod. Even though its only for animations it probaply does something to the meshes and the new textures wont load.

 

Maybe this will help in your case by replacing the new vampire textures with the normal head textures, to better match the CBBE body, you dont have to download the mod just follow the steps in the description http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21656

 

Sorry for my bad English.

If you have body texture mods installed, you'd have to wait for the maker of that mod to replace/add the new textures added by the DLC. No?

Thanks, guys. I believe that is the problem too. Thanks for the responses. :thumbsup:

This mod only wortks for the player and not the NPC's. I'm having the same issue with some of the NPC vamps. Very frustrating. Its like early on mods before we knew about the shift+f4 fix!

Found the fix.

Height Adjustment Mod! Disabled it, boom, fixed. Go figure :D
