Invisible NPC follower HDT issue.

[supernipsu]

So, recently when I was trying out the OK_Custom Voice Followers_SE I ran into issue with the followers fading into invisibility, where you can't see them, but you can still interact with them.

 

Apparently this is an HDT issue, and I did find out a temporary solution for this, that I did not find mentioned so I'll put it here:

 

And to be clear, I am using specifically the FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP.

 

The solution is to go to the Skyrim Special Edition\Data\SKSE\Plugins\hdtSkinnedMeshConfigs\configs.xml and set the:

 

Quote

<enableNPCFaceParts>true</enableNPCFaceParts>

 

into

 

Quote

<enableNPCFaceParts>false</enableNPCFaceParts>

 

I'm sure this is an obvious thing for a lot of smarter people around here, but it did take me a while to track down what the blazes was even going on. I just hope this might help someone looking for a solution. ?

 

Of course, the downside of this is, that this turns off HDT for hairs, so... yeah. Like I said, a temporary solution.

Good find. Thank you.

An alternative I discovered is to roll back to Faster HDT 1.49.0 or 1.  This way you can keep the hairs.

The Faster HDT crew are working on a fix for the invisibility bug in 1.49.3 (which also affects 2 as well).
