Need help using HPH Nord Presets

[gooser]

Hi, I'm in the process of transitioning over to use AE, after being a long SSE hold out, and along the way I am trying to use High Poly Head and some of the presets on the Nexus (e.g. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/87833, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/88923).

But I can't make the character look right, and I'm seeing I think errors when I try to sculpt the head using the imported .nif.

I have installed the pre-reqs for each preset I have tried but I keep running into errors when sculpting. At least they appear to be errors, e.g.

Can someone explain what I am seeing and how resolve this  ? I don't know if the line with red text is the error or the line below it And I've googled those terms and can't find what is missing.

(images are when i just tried the Renae preset  (mod ID 87833)

Thanks!

This is the instructions I have been following for using these presets:

All the nord presets appear in RM with the "standard" vanilla Nord female default.

I feel stupid asking but did you read this "(Make sure before loading the preset, go to the head tab and change face part to the high poly face.)"

It goes on from there.

 

Besides, there must be a reason why certain features arent being loaded (eyes, freckles, hairtype, colour, teeth?) - if it's not missing mods, did you try manual install? If need be, copy all req's plus the mod into one folder.. maybe something overwrites it without pointing it out. End of the load order should be the thing.

 

Sorry, no big ideas from me :(

Yeah that's what I do after changing the gender from male to female body - otherwise the face part slider under the Head tab picks the male nord from HPH.

I did get this preset to work: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/87833

I did miss a requirement there (HG Hairdos 2, hosted here on LL). But  still trying to get the preset "Agija 2.0 - Viper's HPH Character Preset" to work. Thanks for your help. I'm going to doublecheck the reqs again

Hm, say, this might be out of the box, but go for a freckles mod, some eye replacer with that colour (+ eyebrows) and a new hairstyle. I bet it looks like the original. The "bone structure" looks very much so. Difficult to say cause your pictures are blank while the mod author used screenarchery.

 

I mean if your point is "I did what was asked yet it looks different" - yeah, you are correct. But if why not take what you have and make the best of it. I would like to see her :)
