misahko Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I have a follower mod downloaded that I love but hate the character's face tattoo. I've tried to remove/edit it in CK to no avail. I'm pretty desperate but not skilled in modding/editing mods. Does anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerheardt Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I could try to take a look at it. What follower mod is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerheardt Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Since you answered back, i'm now (slowly) downloading it. I'll write back here with a solution and/or a "fixed" file for you. I never had to work with tatoos or war paints, but i'm pretty sure i'll find a way to remove it. "Stay tuned" as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerheardt Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Ok! I've done it and tested it. It works. What you'll have to do is to go on the page of one of my mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73456 . You will then have to click on the tab "Files" and search for the miscellaneous file section. You see the file named "Do not download"? That's what you need to download. When you'll have the .zip file "in hand", extract its content. Be sure to place the content at the right place. You need to have "000cbf5c.dds" and "00002f9a.dds" placed in: Skyrim installation folder/Data/Textures/actors/character/FaceGenData/Facetint/0Kaidan.esp/ Those 2 textures are "replacing" the ones who contained the tattoo. I tried in game before and after placing the folders and files and it perfectly works. Be sure to keep the 2 .dds files in safety, because they're in no way "absorbed" by the mod itself and you will lose the tweak if you don't keep them somewhere else too. I mean if you reinstall the game and have deleted your entire game and mods. The way it works: The game tries to load non archived files first, and when it can't find what it needs, he then go to find it into the archived files (.bsa files). By placing these2 textures where i told you, it becomes the first place where the game will look to find the textures, and it will ignore the archived ones, which still contains the tattoo. I could have archived the new textures, but the .bsa file for this mod is way too large. It's easier my way. Don't forget to tell me when it will be downloaded so i can delete it. Thanks!

misahko Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 You are the absolute best! Thank you so much. I've downloaded it so you can delete it. Is there anyway that I can send some support your way as a thanks? I'll feel bad if I can't repay you somehow. Ok! I've done it and tested it. It works.

Gerheardt Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'll delete the tweak in few minutes, thanks for letting me know. Uhm, no, i don't think you could do anything to help me in any way. I don't do that for a reward, i just tend to help someone when i pass by the forums to ask myself for help. I was helped somehow and you are the one who answered to my offer, so everything's fine now. If you need help for something else, just contact me with a private message, i'll see if i can help. Either for fun or for the challenge, lol. See ya! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
