Face and skin messed up

[Attroce]

having some issues with body and faces. It started with brown-face glitch where the face and upper neck were shades darker then the rest. I tried to make sure I had all nessary mods and reinstalled them but it only got worse as the body mesh is now broken. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.

What exactly did you install from the mod "Valkyr Female Face and Body Textures"?

[Attroce]

I downloaded it to try and fix my face issues, it was a prerequisite for some of my mods.

Well, I don't know all the mods. My first thought was about Valkyr, that you downloaded the wrong face texture, and also downloaded the body texture. But I'm not certain of this. Here is what I know.

Messed up body textures for CBBE means two things. First is, for some reason you don't have the textures installed, the body is using vanilla ones. Second is, you have installed body textures meant for vanilla body. Textures required for body are:

basefemalehands_d.dds

basefemalehands_n.dds

basefemalehands_s.dds

femalebody_d.dds

femalebody_n.dds

femalebody_s.dds

The default folder for these textures is Data\Textures\Actors\character\basehumanfemale. Check if you have them.

Brown face usually happens when there is any kind of difference in texture resolution for the face. Here is the texture set and resolution for the face:

BaseFemaleHead_d.dds -> diffuse map, 1024x1024

BaseFemaleHead_n.dds -> normal map, 1024x1024

BaseFemaleHead_s.dds -> specular map, 512x512

If you install custom textures and even one of them is different resolution, you will probably get the brown face. Example - you have vanilla or HD DLC, but install 2K face textures. Example2 - you have HD DLC, but install face textures with normal/vanilla resolution. This will lead to brown face, also all the paints, scars, tattoos, etc will not work. I don't have the HD DLC, I hear the difference is that the specular maps are 1024x1024.

Removing Valkyr fixed it.

Appreciate this reply, helped me fix my issue! Switching from Ida/Valkyr combo to FSM using a combo of Ida/Valkyr/Vanilla finally fixed my different colored face/body issue. Installed it incorrectly the first time and ended up with the brown face issue, thanks to this post I was able to figure that out lol.
