netweekr Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 can someone help me figure out how to fix this purple face issue pls screenshot Screenshot37481.png I can't remember the exact location or which type of file it was, in either the (textures/actors/character/)xvisionc/female, oriental/female, or oriental/x117/female folder there is a missing file that only seems to affect the face in certain lighting conditions. Check the locations for femalehead_2.dds and if it doesnt have a matching femalehead_msn_2.dds file then copy the existing msn and rename it. Also make sure each of the folders contains a femalehead_s and femalehead_sk file. I also noticed some characters getting this on their bodies when i first installed, so make sure you have both femalebody and femalebody_1 versions of the base texture, msn, s, and sk dds files. I would just upload my files and tell you to replace what you have in all of those locations, but they're highly customized derivatives of other peoples work and would probably cause horrible seams (and you might not like them anyway.) If you're interested in knowing what each of these file types is responsible for: s.dds handles the amount of gloss and shine, also called specular map sk.dds handles 'subsurface reflection' which simulates the light coming back off of an object that wasn't absorbed in addition to the way the inner layers of skin absorb or reflect certain colors. (like when holding a flashlight up to your hand) msn.dds contains both specular detail as well as the 'normal map' which adds details such as depth, texture (think bump-mapping), and how shadows are generated. It's used to add 3d details back into a object when the mesh is converted from high to low poly, otherwise the result would look more like it was painted on. A good normal map can hide the simplicity of a very low poly model like the rocks in skyrim. Any one of these files missing can cause the purple effect you see, since skyrim's response to a missing texture file is to display a purple texture in its place. still can't fix this issue, would you or anyone who reads this mind attaching a 7z file with all the body and head textures for this race but with out that purple face tint issue, cause when i replace all textures with any of the current human race female textures out there the problem goes away but the face texture doesn't look very good when i use textures made for other races

The original dl on the OP? I've got like 3 copies. You know where to find the bod and face textures in mod's files? Edit: I confess, I never saw that problem before, so I don't know how to fix that. Looks annoying. I have a similar problem with my PC when I uninstall this mod and try to use my other character (scrunchy face).
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Is there a way to give the character panties. All the armors with skirts for children of sky don't have anything under it and it breaks the immersion of combat for me. The Simple Never Nude Modesty Mod gives you panties and a bra. Lolilabs Full gives you quite a few more outfits, and a few panties to choose from.
Kaydence Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Unfortunately, the problem has resurfaced for me again and the F4 trick in CK isn't working. Will try some suggestions above. I do have PCEA and had it working fine with that mod previously after the F4 trick. I loaded some other mods that messed with my character's eyes, and fixed it. That's when the problem came back. Would you mind sharing a description of how to do the F4 trick in CK so I can try it. I really like having PCEA.

I have a similar problem with my PC when I uninstall this mod and try to use my other character (scrunchy face). actually i just found out that apparently it's not a texture issue, cause i replaced all textures with the ones from my default female char texture folder wich does NOT show that texture issue when i play as nord, but even using those textures on the x117orientalrace the issue is still present so no matter what i do to the textures in the oriental folder the problem persist so it has to be somewhere else, but now i have no idea what it mite be, i've had this issue a long time now and it really annoys me that i can't fix it btw the issue is only noticeable when outdoors
renexing Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 why is Sissel and other children in CotS R2 so ugly? is this normal? in CotS R1 she looks better
Jimbodan Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 You have incompatibility problems with ShowRaceMenu Precache Killer? ,I never had any problems with it... I always install mods manually and then correct/optimise the load order with Wrye Bash and BOSS. No, not the precache killer, the actual Racemenu mod. lol, i totally forgot about that mod, it makes my character so small, like a skeever (40-50 cm height) Racemenu works fine for me with CotS. Racemenuplugin.esp causes skychildren to be really small. Just deactivate that esp and your skychild should be the correct size. You just won't be able to use some of the extra racemenu features.
ghost123 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I got a question i installed this now should all the adult faces change to more child looking? because i want the adult to look normal
Guest carywinton Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Children of the Sky - Gear all files unpack fine except for Ravenous Elegance [Deadly Little Vamp Edition] [uNP], this file shows corruption errors when unpacking. I tried several of the links listed with the same results. Fortunately for me I have another set from a while back, just thought I would let you know. Every other aspect of this mod works flawlessly, excellent job. Super Kudos~ Thanks for your reply, I was using 7z for extraction, so I must have just gotten bogus file corruption from the internet packets, go figure

Guest carywinton Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 why is Sissel and other children in CotS R2 so ugly? is this normal? 1.jpg in CotS R1 she looks better 2.jpg You are suffering from what I call the "old lady bug" this happens to me too sometimes, usually because another face/skin/body mod over writes it somehow. Install your face and body mods first, then install COTs R2 and hopefully that will fix it for you. I will try to check back later and see how your doing
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I got major dark face issues on every kid in Skyrim. I've had it before, but never anywhere near this badly. We're talking black face, white body. I tried installing X-vision Children over top of CotS, but they just look a little different. Still super dark faces. There's just gotta be some fix for this...they're so weird looking. Driving me crazy! Some adults have it too, but every kid has it. Anyone feel like jumping into CK and making a fix? I don't know how, or I would've done that a loooooooong time ago. I've certainly asked this question before, and never gotten a solution. We just have to get rid of this annoyance! (sigh...if ony jiitek would come back...) Oh, and every Redgaurd in the game looks perfect. I am not using the "fix". Help? It's not only annoying, but very confusing, too.
Cloak1 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Has anyone doen teh Gildergreen quest? As soon as i get a bit outside Helgen my game crashes. This happens only with CotS.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Has anyone doen teh Gildergreen quest? As soon as i get a bit outside Helgen my game crashes. This happens only with CotS. It seems to happen from time to time. That happened to me on the way from Riverwood to Whiterun. Don't know a fix. I just use coc. It only happened to me once though, and then it stopped. Hopefully, it does the same for you.
Guest carywinton Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Has anyone doen teh Gildergreen quest? As soon as i get a bit outside Helgen my game crashes. This happens only with CotS. never had that happen with COTs installed and I have done that quest on about 3 or so play through. Are there any other issues you are noticing?
Draak Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Seeing Purple: Downloaded the password protected CotS....... so far so good..... a bit disturbing..... but no more purple.
Cloak1 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I did the Gildergreen quest with a lvl 1 char. CoTS. No crash. Did move to Orphan rock 1st though after coming out of Helgen so no gildergreen quest at that point. . There was someting strange. There is a kajit caravan there wich is kiled by bandits. I managed to kill the bandids and move on. Realised i was heading wrong way and moved back. The bandits had already respawned again. Oh well More gear to sell. Ten i used fast travel to orphan rocked and had my 2 elven girls kill the hagraven. Will have to try the coc trick with my main char.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 screenshots are dead Nothing we can do about it, as the mod's creator has been offline for a long time. The mod comes with a bunch of pics in the zip.
Buggy Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 How do I make the NPC Children in this mod killable? Various killable children mods do not work.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 How do I make the NPC Children in this mod killable? Various killable children mods do not work. Disable that mod and throw it in the Recycle Bin. Next, install X-Vision Children. I know it's already part of this mod, but if you're not already able to (Ahem!...) kill them, this should solve it. There's also this... (...runs away...........)
ZarthonTheVanquished Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 How do I make the NPC Children in this mod killable? Various killable children mods do not work. Try playing with the load orders of both the .esp files from this mod and the ones from the killable children mods. I'd suggest trying to place the killable children mod lower in the load order than xvisionchildren.esp and ychildrenofthesky.esp

Oh, and every Redgaurd in the game looks perfect. I am not using the "fix". Help? It's not only annoying, but very confusing, too. i had this issue before, the faces look like their covered in dark smoke, the only fix i found so far is to lower texture resolution to medium, but that limits you to play the game in medium texture res, maybe it's not the fix you were looking for but I just thought you should know, hope that helps.

I use the dl link that LL gave me (a long ass time ago, right after jiitek made his -R.2.7.z). I've never seen this before. I've played CotS for a total of about 120 hrs, and nothing. Is this problem recent? Could there be something wrong with the dl link?? I have a fresh (old-as-hell) copy of the original, but I can't upload that big-ass motherf***er. Too gigantic. I don't want a membership to any uploading site either...
