How to match player's face skin tone to body skin tone

[SkyBarbie]

I've played Skyrim quite a bit and am coming back to Fallout 4 after a long break.  I'm using CBBE (latest version) and SSS Face and SSS Skin texture mods.  NPCs seem to be OK with matching face and skin tone colors, however my player character doesn't at all.  What do I need to do to fix this issue?

When this happens to me i open looksmenu(SLM 14 in console) to make 1 change on the face (for example hair color) and it fixes.. 

Don't rlly know a 'permanent' solution to this.

 

For me a lot of NPCs had brown face too until I downloaded the Valkyr face texture and that did the trick..

OK, I've got the problem mostly fixed.  I had to download and install three mods:

 

High Res DLC Black Face Fix

Rusty Face Fix

Valkyr Face Texture v2.0 Fair Skin for HD DLC

 

I tried three other face textures and Valkyr is the only one that was close to the skin color.

 

Not 100% but much better now, thank you.

Spoiler

For everyone who has "dark face" bug: this bug appears, when resolution (or compression method) of some of face textures do not fit others. 

There are deafult resolutions for non-HD DLC game version:

_d: 1024 x 1024
_n: 1024 x 1024
_s: 512 x 512

There are deafult resolutions for HD DLC game version:

_d: 1024 x 1024
_n: 1024 x 1024
_s: 1024 x 1024

So, in case you have (for example) the game version with  HD DLC installed, and will donwload the mod version with 512 x 512 res secaular map, it will bring the dark face bug, as well as if you have some other face textures installed, like brows, face scars, tattoos, makeup and such - if the resolution of even one of them will not fit the default, you'll seee "dark face" corrupted texture.

So double check what mod version you download, your game version, and what mods do you have installed.

 

 

This has been confirmed on other threads.  The "known" solution is to always keep a backup saved game, and go back to it, if the brown face bug happens.  

 

You can also use glm 14 and reload your original skin, however, this will remove any of the stuff you have acquired over time (my avatar is pretty heavily tattooed by teh Nuka Ride mod).     

 

I use the "restore to a known good save point".
