I suck at making NPCs look nice, Please help!

[JacquesStrappe88]

Please help! I am lost as to how NPC changes such as Bijin, Men of Winter, and Pandorables need to be installed. I use Vortex, and I always wind up with black face bugs. Here's the kicker, though... Bijin Wives is working perfectly, but Warmaidens isn't; Men of Winter works until i try to use Skysight skins; and I tried to use K's Faendal by itself and got blackface as well. I used Total Character Makeover as a base, and UNP and Skysight for bodies. Can someone help me with the correct steps to prevent blackface and get TCM, Bijin, MOW, UNP, Skysight, and K's Faendal to play nice? And if they're incompatible, please give me siggestions as to what to use for a base, body, and face&hair mods. Thank you in advance, guys!

I have turned off most of my NPC mods and just been using vanilla NPCs for now. But they are so ugly!

 

Also, please let me know what info you guys need.Here is my Load Order:

[ElysianMods]

You're wanting lots of mods that affect the same things to play nicely, and that isn't going to happen.

 

The only thing I can suggest is to move your character enhancement mods to the bottom, make sure you've reset archive invalidation, and check what you're overriding. Every time you override files from another mod, the mod you've overridden is rendered obsolete for that particular file.

 

The only things I use is better presets, tempered skin for males/females, total char makeover, and sos. And even that, you have to be careful what you are overriding.

[Moksha8088]

For NPCs make sure that all your mods such as body, face, hair, teeth, eyes and brows are of the same resolution such as all 2K or all 4K.
