[SOLVED] All females have this spot on their forehead and a tattoo, even in Bodyslide

[kabababa]

Currently, even when making a character or seeing any female in the game, they have spot on their forehead and this tattoo. Anybody know what could cause this?

This started to occur around when using the "Succubus Race" mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/80089

When using the succubus race and presets these graphical anomalies were not present and all looked fine. However, i have now disabled the mod and all related ones (Also removed them in Mod organizer). And yet these things still remain. Anyone know a way to fix this? Will post modlist if needed

Its most likely one of the body textures, diffuse, normal or specular; it wouldn't show up in bodyslide otherwise.

It won’t just be a body texture if the face is affected. I can’t think of any easy way to override all the facegen files, either. Is this affecting all races?

Yup, all except the beast races (Kajhiits and Argonians)

This issue won't be in the facegen meshes textures unless the some mod overwrote all of them. There's going to be thousands of files to delete then to get the game back to using the default files in the bsa. I doubt that's the case tho, most likely just the body textures like I said.

 

Edit: Also, the OP never said anything about this affecting NPCs.

Interesting. So how would one proceed to fix this issue?

Find the records in xedit to find the meshes:

1.  [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 00013746 <NordRace>
2.  [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Armor \ 00000D64 <SkinNaked>
3.  [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Armor Addon \ 00000D67 <NakedTorso>
4. Actors\Character\Character Assets\FemaleBody_1.nif
5.  [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Head Part \ 00051623 <FemaleHeadNord>
6. Actors\Character\Character Assets\FemaleHead.nif

Use nifskope to find the texture paths from these meshes:

1. BSTriShape -> BSLightingShaderProperty -> BSShaderTextureSet

2. textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_1.dds

3. textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_1_msn.dds

4. textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_1_sk.dds

5. textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_1_s.dds

6. BSDynamicTriShape -> BSLightingShaderProperty -> BSShaderTextureSet

7. textures\actors\character\female\FemaleHead.dds

8. textures\actors\character\female\FemaleHead_msn.dds

9. textures\actors\character\female\FemaleHead_sk.dds

10. textures\actors\character\female\FemaleHead_S.dds

Find the mod(s) providing the texture files and determine which one is the problem.

I found the issue! One last preset from the succubus mod that i had edited and saved to chargen/presets was causing the issue. Deleted it and now everything looks fine. I wonder if that was the main cause and i didn't have to delete all the succubus mods lol. Oh well...

Thank you so much anyways for the help! Have a nice day
