Invisible faces with custom races

[vorran]

Okay so, I downloaded some custom race mods but then I ran across an issue. When I went to make a new character I found out that none of the races I downloaded have faces, just floating eyes and teeth. But when I load up my main character that is already a custom race, it's fine. Here's a link to a screenshot I took:

I tried uninstalling all the race mods and then reinstalling them but the problem still persists. I've had this problem once before and was able to fix it by completely uninstalling all my mods and Skyrim then reinstalling again. Kind of don't want to have to go through all that crap again. Anyway, has anyone else ran across this problem? And if so, is there some kind of fix?

I have the latest FNIS and SKSE (as far as checking the mod/website goes) and not sure where the Papyrus log is.

[Cyndi]

Completely unrelated to your problem....

You have 2 active "Faster arrows" esp's.  Should only use 1 for that mod, and run BOSS.

 

[vorran]

Thanks, I've been trying to focus so much on this problem, I didn't even notice that.

[Deep Red]

I've had this problem before in the past, but I'm trying to remember how I fixed it. I'll try to recreate the problem and get back to you if I find anything.

That would be awesome. Like I said in the first post, the way I fixed it before was to completely wipe my Skyrim from my comp and reinstall it. Reason it stumps me is because all the head textures are there in the race's folder, and it just seemed to randomly happen. Yet when I get on my main char and try to do the showracemenu command, I can change presets aslong as I don't try to change its race and the face shows up fine.

[vorran]

Sorry for the double post, but found a fix (kind of). I reinstalled the race mods and let the RaceCompatibility files override each time then reinstalled the stand alone RaceComaptibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard again afterwords. Now the Drow and all the races from Trykz's mods have faces again (all three deamonesses faces still look fugly as all hell but that's not this topic). The epic Elves still don't have faces, but they also didn't come with their own compatibility mod like the others did. I'm still trying to work on fixing them.  

[Deep Red]

Been trying to recreate the problem (making problems? who wants that?! lol) but I can't get it to happen. My best guess is that it was a conflicting mod in the load order, or perhaps a mod loaded in the wrong order. I remember how frustrating it was to finally fix, but I'll be damned if I can't get the problem to start again. Perhaps that might be a good thing?

[vorran]

It's weird because I've tried using different load orders and nothing worked. I'm not a modder but my guess is that over time the file that controls the race compatibility with the game became corrupt, I never let them override the main one which I thought I absolutely needed. The fact that the only one that isn't working now is also the only one that didn't come with its own compatibility file is what's making me think this. I'm pretty sure that at this point the only way for me to get it to work again is if I uninstall Skyrim completely and totally clean out any left over files then reinstall, and leave that race for last and not install anymore races after. Anyway, yeah I don't want you to mess up yours so I think we can just call this one solved or w/e. Thanks for helping me out though.

 

--Edit--

 

I did some more tinkering with my mod loadout. Found out my BlazesPatch.esp and/or Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp was causing the faces to turn invisible when any custom races were loaded before it.

[Deep Red]

Glad you finally resolved it. I probably should've mentioned it earlier but every time you have weird issues like this, fire up TES5 Edit and load up your entire active mod list. TES5 Edit is really damn good at finding mod conflicts which most of us didn't even know existed. BOSS also works if you use a lot of Nexus mods. 

[vorran]

I actually use TES5, and it would give me errors if I didn't have those two files after everything else, that's why I never thought to try to move the races after them.
