Imperial female default skin tone (bug?)

[SorenSeven]

Hello folks, I don't know exactly if this is the right place to put this but here goes.

 

My issue is regarding the skin tone of my female Imperial. I have it set all the way to the left (most pale skin tone, best look for vampires I assume) however when I am made into a vampire lord, the skin tone for my character reverts to a default tone on the slider (the most middle option which is somewhere between roasty and toasty).

 

Becoming a vampire lord is not the only way for this to become apparent: simply create a new imperial female and set the slider for skin tone either all the way to the left, or all the way to the right then open the console and type in "showracemenu" to open the character editor. The skin tone will reset along with eyeliner color, eye shadow color and lip color (maybe a few other things but these are the most obvious ones). Though for things like eyeshadow and eyeliner colors, the reset back to default is common for all races, the reset for skin tone is more or less unique to the imperial female and presents an aesthetic problem once my character turns into a vampire lord in that my vampire (who is supposed to look white as snow according to some NPCs I happen to walk by) appears to look like a sun dried tomato.

 

This is not an issue with my Nord female, whose skin tone remains on whatever value it was set to before I become a vampire lord.

 

Ultimately I am bringing this up in the hopes that someone will be able to figure out why this is happening and either fix it and make it a mod, edit for the next Skyrim update OR tell me how to fix it myself! Sorry, I don't really know how to do these things but I'm assuming someone at Bethesda or one of my fellow customers can figure a way to do it, either via Creation Kit or some funky doodad I can get off the interspace.

 

Keep up the good work Bethesda I guarantee you will get my money for the next DLC(s) for Skyrim! (already have Dawnguard and Hearthfire).

 

Peace.

 

edit 1: I've looked around the interweb and noticed a few people suffering the same problem as yours truly:
