Dawnguard NPC's neck seam/grey face

[Grzegorrzz]

Hello everyone! First of all sorry for my bad english.

 

I am having problem with Dawnguard NPC's. All of them (except followers changed by SBF) have visible neck seam and I have no clue how to fix it. I have only one texture mod for female (demoniacs body for CBBE) and one texture mod for male characters (veteran skin). I was trying to use Creation Kit and ctrl + F4 but it didn't work and reinstall all my character texture mods. The textures on NPC's heads are correct! Only the color is different. Any ideas?

What mod manager are you using?

 

Have you uninstalled a follower/NPC mod in this playthrough, or did you load one after starting the game?

[Grey Cloud]

Post a screenshot of the problem just to make sure we are all on the same page.

I am using NMM. No i didn't. I am using only Skyrim Beautiful Followers and I installed it before starting new game.

When you say Dawnguard NPCs, do you mean members of the Dawnguard or NPCs added by Dawnguard DLC?

All NPC's from Dawnguard DLC

[Grey Cloud]

Main File v2.1.

Only a face is changed.(dependent on the body which you have installed.)DLC characters are not include. The texture specification mistake of Eola,Ria and Ugor was corrected.

 

All in One esp v2.1

All the DLC is required. All the characters are contained. Only a face is changed.

 

You sure you installed the correct version?

Yes, I installed All in One version. This mod changes only female followers characters like Serana and they are ok, there's no neck seam. The problem is with all other NPC's like enemies etc.

that's not vanilla hairs

so it's either

- npc replacer x that give headpart hair y to that npc, that got his head nif overwrite by npc replace z, so conflict between npc headparts and npc head nif

- npc replacer x that replace headpart femalehairnord01 with y, so all npc not replaced by that mod have conflict between npc headparts and npc head nif

 

which is it? no idea, op pick those mods, he is supposed to know what they are doing

[bandygirl1]

Are you using the BSA version of Shiva's Vanilla Hair Replacer?

 

If so, try the loose files version.

Removing Shiva's hair replacer helped but not completely. There is still neck seam on vampire characters

No shit Sherlock. Thanks for the input. So the problem is with heads?

I know im bumping this but it might be usefull since google got me here. I had this issue with JH skyrim people for years though for me it was grey/brown face and every npc jh skyrim touched had the same ugly face but i finally had enough and googled and i found this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/1034?BH=0 wich helped me fix it once and for all.

 

Though i couldnt exacly follow the guide since i use both asis and smashed patch so i didnt need to create patches like the guide.

 

All i had to do was drag and drop conflicting JH skyrim files onto smashed patch and asis and finally it was fixed. though if you use both asis and smashed patch you have to drag and drop the files from smashed to asis after dragging from jh to smashed.

 

asis will overwrite any changes smashed patch made(provided you have the asis patch loaded absolute last wich you really should otherwise asis wont work).

 

But tes5edit will show exactly what files conficts with eachother and what files you need to drag and drop.

 

Ive never touched anything inside tes5edit aside from making the automatic merged patch so if i can do conflict resolutiona ccording to the guide you can aswell. Im pretty dumb so i have faith you all can do this in your sleep after reading the guide i linked.
