Nif Merge causes brown face to the file that it merged.

Hi,

 

I have a follower mod for SE.

I wanted to make some modification on her face in the Race Menu.

After I created my follower's modified face on PC, I exported its face.

I used SSE NIF Optimizer to convert to LE. I used Nif Merge that's a mod LE.

Then, I converted to SE. I putted/replaced the new .nif & .dds files in the correct folders in SE's "FaceGeom" and "FaceTint" folders.

When I started the game, my follower had brown face and no eyes also.

 

The only thing that I remembered was Ctrl+F4 in the Creation Kit.

That fixed the problem. However, it started to use the original/old face, not the face I created via Race Menu.

 

One year ago, I used Nif Merge again for my another follower. I don't recall any brown face problem, and/or how I did before.

I have 6 types of outfits. For the first one, the new face appears normally as you can see below:

It has narrower nose and skinnier face.

 

When I replace this face for the other ones, I got I got this face bug.

So, I could only reduce the width of cheekbone and jaw. There is no width setting for nose in the Creation Kit.

The only nose that look prettier was "Nose 1" as I could find.

 

So, after using Ctrl+F4, I got this face:

 

Why the face that I merged, worked only for my Outfit #1 mod, not for the others?

 

If I convert my mod to LE, then use NPC Nif Merge, can fix this problem, or not?

 

The original mod's face looks like this. My follower has larger face:

 

 

If you can help anyway, I'll appreciate.
