Custom NPC Appearance change

[Tarath1291]

I am trying to do a custom appearance change on Aurlyn Dawnstar. I want to change her to an appearance I made via Racemenu.

 

I saved/exported the appearance from racemenu, and opened it on Creation Kit. I imported the skin to the model, and chose the hairstyle and what-not. But if I load it up in-game, the skin color on her head is a dark brown/black, and doesn't match the body color.

 

I've tried following along with

this video, but when I open the NIF I exported of either my custom skin, or an NPC imperial skin, all I get is a purple-colored texture. There's no color anywhere, and no color to copy-paste from.

 

Can someone help me figure this out? :'( I've never made custom NPCs before, but I thought changing the race/skin would be a bit easier than this.

 

I'm using KS hairdos and did some custom skin colors/textures/features on race menu, and those don't really translate over to the Creation Kit. Or at least I don't know how to get them to. So I don't know how to get what I completed in the Racemenu on my character, transferred over to an NPC.

 

And any of the guides I've followed on Youtube don't yield the same results (like the purple color characters on NIFskope).

 

Thanks!
