vampire NPC bug

[Raineon]

Hi, I'd like to apologize for my bad english in advance.

I browsed this forum to find any solution, though usually I found threads with no replies or threads, where issue was with player's character (while mine bug regards only npcs), so I decided to make my own thread.

I got a problem with face texture of vampires in dawnguard, although my character looks completely fine, as seen below:

here's how it looks like on npcs:

I really have no idea what's causing this, I assume that maybe some of my mods are colliding. I think I should also mention, that I have completely no idea why, but few npcs in Volikhar Castle (including Hestla and Orthjolf) look just fine, while other look like Serana on screenshot above.

EveryVampireEyesGrow.esp cause this ... and each mod that fix Vampire Eyes in game same with The Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp !

 

Try to use the Vampire Skin Color FIX it work for me ... but the vampire eyes disapear !

[davycrockett]

if your familar with the CK ,

 

this only works with existing npcs not newly created ones,

 

open up CK load required ESP/ESM ,find the character in the object window select edit

>character gen parts tab

select any of the listed texture files (.dds) and edit the color go nuts so it looks very bright and very distinct

slide the "interpolation value " over to the far right (1.0) click ok

 

go back to the object window highlight the same character ,press ctrl+f4 ,when prompted click yes

this makes a new .dds file for that char and puts it in your skyrim dir

data/textures/actors/characters/facegendata/facetint/skyrim.esm

 

all done problem solved

 

but since using this fix iv gained a weird bug ,now whenever i target any npc via the console for a face rip ,using the SPF XX command all i get is my characters face and not the targeted npc iv uninstalled/reinstalled the CK in the hope of correcting this ,not had time to see if its fixed yet .

 

EDIT its not a bug its me being an idiot SPF save player face doesnt work on npcs does anyone know a command that does ?

thanks for the replies, the issue was after all with the eye mods ;)

uninstalling the eye mods, in my case the Underworld Dawnguard Vampire and Werewolf eyes, caused vampires to look properly again :P

To fix the issue and keep the mod, I installed update to this Underworld mod, which fixes the face tint bug

 

Cheers
