Cute Elf

[Thor.]

Hi im looking for a body replacer that'll match the cute elf's face, does anyone know of one. I tried pretty much everyone mod that i can think of like, exnems, uff, Hgec and so on.

 

the head is pailer then all the others.

What you need is better textures to match. What you can do is download a dds converter and convert the .dds texture for the body (which is either in the cute elves folder or in your imperial folder (both located in textures > characters) to a .psd file (a photoshop document).

 

In photoshop, Image > Adjustments

 

and you can mess around with hue, color balance, lightness....

 

When you make it a little bit lighter (and really, just a LITTLE bit), rename the original dds, convert the .psd back into a dds with the dds converter and test it out in game.

 

It may take a few tries, just rinse and repeat.

 

Personally, I can't find any body textures that match well, so I modify my own that way.

 

Another thing you can do is search "Seam Reducer" on the Nexus. There are textures included and though I haven't tried it myself, you may want to try it to save you the trouble of making your own.

If you open the face when you do the recolour on the body you can use it as a guide.

 

In addition to fixing up the colour on the body texture you will want to do some copy/paste,

(from your body texture),smudge and air brushing on the lower (neck) section of the face texture.

This will help blend the neck in as it is a bit featureless.

The neck doesn't seem to change complexion with the face, so if you change the complexion with

the in game set up this neck blending may be more important. (this happened to me)

 

If you don't have photoshop use the Gimp. It's free, and with the dds plugin there is no need to convert.

 

Then you will have to do the hands as well.

 

EDIT: These textures will also have to be put in an appropriate folder ie. - my elf. ,

and redirections made to the esp with CS.
