cottoncube Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi all, I'm having the infamous grey face problem. The heads of all female NPCs are grey or darker than the rest of the body. I never used Creation Kit. I downloaded mods, including Caliente's Female mod, Apachii Sky Hair, Bella's Better Females, and many custom NPCs. I deleted every mod in Nexus mod manager, but the problem still remains. I don't know anything about mods other than how to download them, and need help! If you have a solution, please dumb it down for less tech-savvy people. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanian77 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I don't use CBBE or apachii hair mod but from their descriptions you have your answers.For example,at the main description page of CBBE mod : Q15: The face is so much darker than the body/I have the 'dark head bug'. How do I fix this?A1: If the issue is with npcs, then you have changed their appearance in some way, either by editing them with the CK, or by installing a mod that changes NPC appearances; simply changing the hairstyle, or removing warpaint, will cause this bug. For a fix, go to the Apachii SkyHair mod, and follow the instructions in the description.Also, it might have been done properly, but if the NPC was already in your save game with a different weight, the dark head bug will still occur as the NPC weight is baked in your save and the only way to fix it is to look in the CK to see what the new weight is, and perform a SetNPCWeight at the console on that NPC.A2: If the issue is with your player character, then it's a more serious fault with no known cause, and there are no definitive fixes for it. One user has found that their video card kept default back to application settings, so be sure to check that to see if it's doing the same.A3: You're using a face mod with dirty skin, or the vanilla face textures. As the CBBE textures are clean, this means there will be an obvious colour/shade mismatch. Install a different face mod, or a dirty body texture to fix this. And if you google it you will find many solutions but not needed.Just read each mod's description and you will find your solution.
