Can anyone tell me how to make this face?

[TheMacabre1]

So there is a modder called Melodic that makes a ton of outfit mods on their patreon. I really love their character's face though. Anyone know how to make it? Like what packs the smile, eyes, and hair are from? I don't want the ears. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So you want to duplicate anothers work huh?, first off without contacting them and asking politely what mods they used, your going to be S.O.L. so I would say the best you can hope for with this small bit of guidance, is a approximatation of what you see in the picture.

 

First off you're going to need either RaceMenu or Enhance Character Edit and the associated plugin mods for the same

 

Next your going to need hair the two most downloaded and widely used are Apachii SkyHair and KS Hairdos

 

Follow this up with eye mods (sorry can 't give you exact mod so you're going to have to try several until you get a close approximate of the color

 

as well as brows, same thing going you'll have to basically have to try things out until you hit upon the right one.

 

Throw in skin mods and a body mod (the body mod you choose can affect the base skin tone)

 

You're also going to need SKSE, Show Race Menu Precache Killer (start adding all those hairs, brows and eyes mods in and it'll bog down the precache, Groovetama's Skeleton mod, and FNIS (the last two aren't necessary for the facial creation but are necessary if you where thinking of adding animated hair or the like further down the road.

 

 

 

Hints and Tips

 

Do Mess with Race Menu /ECE to see how thing work (try creating your own characters to start with before you start tackling something from a picture).

 

When using pictures as a resource to create your characters from I would suggest more than one, specifically same model from different angles i.e. face front , side shot etc. (having a multiple monitor setup is helpful here).

 

Use the Built in Races with their presets as a jumping off point one is bound to be close to what you need to start with.

 

Have Patience, this isn't a paint by numbers here you're going to be doing a lot of adjusting and fiddling, you may have to use a combination of mouse and keyboard to get the look you're after (a lot of sliders and some adjustments are finicky than others. (don't be surprised if you end up spending hours getting it right.)

 

Try out mods first before you commit to ones you'll use.

 

 

one last word, as much as they say that imitation is a sincere form of flattery, a lot of people are more likely to be less annoyed if you asked first.
