Problem with neck seam


Recommended Posts

Posted

The texture of your face and of your body are different ,If I am not mistaken fair skin has a face texture , so just use that .

You need a different _sk file for the body or head. I have this same issue, but it is only when outside...I am trying many different files now to find a fix.

perhaps it's the order your installing the body & face mods, try installing your face mods first then your body replacer then your body features like sweaty body & such, sometime if your testing different body features it tends to cause neck seam issues, I say delete all your body & face mods & re-install with only the features you like the best, I had this same issue till I found a body texture I loved & face mod I loved then I deleted all body & face mods & I reinstalled only the ones I liked & that fixed my seam issue, but these methods might not work for everyone.

 

Also play around with enb's some say some enb's work great for controlling neck seam issues.

Load your UNP body first, then the face mod, then the FSC patch, then the _sk files and sweaty body last.

Use all of the _sk files from whatever mod you want. I am just using the _sk files from the UNP base body.

FSC is Fair Skin Complexion.

You need to install CBBE body, then Univision face, then patch for CBBE body with Univision face, then sweaty body.

Use the _sk files from the base CBBE body, see if that clears it up.

The _sk files are for subsurface scattering, how light affects the skin.

Textures in Skyrim have a few different components: there's a diffuse map, which s sort of like the outer layer of skin. It defines the surface look of the caharacter, and is modified by the other textures. There is also a normal map which helps define the shapes of the character where the actual meshes don't - skin wrinkles, Orsimer brow ridges, the gaunt cheeks of the Dunmer faces are all defined by the normal maps. There's also a specular map which defines the shine of the skin, lips, etc. And finally there's a subsurface scatter texture - the weird small files with "_sk" in their filenames - that work with the renderer to add a bit of color variation to the textures in some lighting condition. I believe I'm using the Bethesda originals. Too many texture packs have SK maps that are a uniform pink color rather than varying by body area - avoid those, they kind of miss the point. That being said it's a very subtle effect.

Go here \Data\textures\actors\character\female delete all the dds files and the add the fair skin mod .

 

 

Did you follow these instructions ?

Your problem is the unvision face, just install the cbbe body and textures and then the fair skin without installing unvision .

Ok I just did a fresh install of my body mods just to show you what I did to get rid of the neck seam also with this install I am not using any other mods AKA lighting or graphical mods, I also did NOT use ECE aka. Enhanced Character Edit

this is the "ORDER" I installed each body mod.

 

UNP:

1.  Dimonized UNP body replacer------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6709
2.  univision Face for UNP---------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14569

5.  Rans Headmesh Variants type D---------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7127
6.  Kawaii Face-----------------------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15438
7.  Sweaty_Body_UNP_v1.0-------------------------> http://www.mediafire.com/?sst3lzsjq32yifp <-----"NOTE": this file has been deleted from the nexus so I do not know where else to find   it  so I re-uploaded it onto my "MEDIA FIRE" account.

also "NOTE" I only used the "Sweaty Body UNP v1.0" file from the fair skin complexion mod.

 

8.  HN66s Long Eye Lashes-------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27783
9.  No More Ugly Bronze Shine----------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/29791/

13. Pretty_Combat_Idles-----------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15703

    

And if you don't like your boob size you can also install this:

14. Bodyslide UNP Body 0.3.5---------------------->  http://www.loverslab...attach_id=14007

 

this is the final result:

the reason I took the picture right here in a darker location was to show you that most neck seam issues have a problem with lighting & most the issues show up under building awenings like this one in riverwood at the sleeping giant inn.

This is with the Fair Skin Complexion installed:

CBBE V3:

Ok I played around with the CBBE Body & so far I found if you use Just the Main body with the Univision face then the neck seam was gone but if you installed any other body modification then the seam returns.

 

here is the steps to get rid of the seam with the main body.

 

1. CBBEv3 Main Body  (I used Slim body option)-------> http://modsreloaded.com/calientes-female-body-mod

2.  Univision Face CBBE----------------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14569

3. Eyes of Beauty------------------------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13722

4. Rans Headmesh Variants Type D--------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7127

5. Kawaii Face----------------------------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15438

6. Sweaty_Body_UNP_v1.0------------------------------> http://www.mediafire.com/?sst3lzsjq32yifp

7. HN66s Long Eye Lashes------------------------------> http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27783

8. SG Hair Pack -------------------------------------------> http://www.loverslab.com/topic/14861-sg-hair-pack-120-hairs-edition/

Enb's hide neck seams .

 

But

 

There will always be a small neck seam , unless you work on the .dds files yourself , you could select a follower mod who has a skin you like and use theirs ( since many followers are hand worked by their authors )
