Problem with Lydia mod

[Sparky076]

Quick to the point, I'm having issues with body mods. Here are the list of mods dealing with bodies I installed, in order from first to last:

- CBBE - Curvy (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2666)

- CBBE Fitness Body - Curvy Body (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16731)

- Better Females by Bella V3 (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2812)

- Then moved to Better Females by Bella Natural Edition - No makeup
(http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26113)
^ It includes the CBBE 3.2 Textures
^ New Normal Maps in the Optional Files Section (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26113)

- No More Blocky Faces (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30)

- Caliente's Texture Blender v0.9.4B (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5737)

- ApachiiSkyHair (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10168)

- ApachiiSkyHair NPC Overhaul (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15411)
^ Along with Color Mismatch Fix for Elven, Humans and Brentons Packs

- Very Beautiful Lydia - Mage (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31075)
^Requires Tribunal Robes and Masks mod (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20077)


My issue is that after all of this, my character has a much lighter colored head from the rest of the body,

while Lydia looks perfectly normal (I changed outfits on both of us so you can see the difference in skin tone easily).

After noticing this, I extracted the files CBBE - Curvy, CBBE Fitness - Curvy, Better Females by Bella - Natural Edition,

along with New Normal Maps to fix my character. I indeed fixed my character, but now Lydia is now experiencing

the same issue I was, but now her head is much darker than the rest of her body.

Needless to say, I went back and forth constantly trying to fix this, ending up with the same outcome every time without fail.

I believe the mod for Lydia, Very Beautiful Lydia - Mage (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31075), is replacing

certain files in the texture folder that my character uses for her body, and vice versa. I was wondering if there was

anyway I could work my way around this so I can get both mods working together?

Can I simply rename the clashing files coming for the Lydia mod to a slightly different name and have it still work,
or will that just cause even more troubles if I try to edit the name of a file the an .esp or .esm is suppose to read?
Does an .esp or .esm file even read the files that is installed with it even? I don't even know how they work...

Honestly, I really don't understand how these mods even work, so I'm just guessing in the dark,
but I think renaming a file from the Lydia mod before extracting it is going to help me at all.
If anything, I would think it would keep the mod from working properly even more.

If anyone can help, please do so.

Sincerely,
Sparky076
