Females have a slightly lighter face than body

[billyro]

Ok, my head is on the verge of exploding. Seriously, it's like someone has planted a grenade in my brain. That's how much this is annoying me.

 

For some very inexplicit reason, all female characters (including the player) have slightly lighter faces than their bodies. While I initially assumed it was a simple texture problem, it appears it isn't so. I tried deleting my WHOLE textures folder to see if it resolved the problem, but it did nothing.

 

My second suspicion was the meshes. I dunno why, but it was worth a shot, right? So I deleted all the character meshes and tried that. Problem persisted.

 

I have gone through my mods and disabled all that affect characters, and tried in-game (with a New Game), and the problem persists. I have absolutely no idea what is causing it.

If you can spot anything in there that is causing this problem, that would be supremely excellent.

 

Is there anything else I can try?

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I just edited the face textures be a little bit darker and then fixed the neck-seams. The solution wasn't perfect, but it will do. :)

Try uninstlling every mod that has anything to do with the female body, then reinstall them 1 by 1 untill the problem returns. Then you 'll know what need to be fixed.
