Pinkish/yellowish face and body mismatch.

[bigglebojiggle]

I've started having a problem with my character's face and body having a color mismatch out of the blue.

I've tried a couple texture mods and get the same issue regardless. I've tried head mods and get the same issue.

I've tried turning my enb off and on and have the same issue.

I've tried a couple different profiles,, including one with no texture or lighting mod, just the alternate start  mod (so practically no mods at all) to load in quickly, and have the same issue.

I've tried changing complexions and head types and have the same issue.

I started noticing it after using Ambient Templates for Lighting Mods, Dynamic Container Loot (SKSE), and Dynamic Leveled Lists (SKSE). Disabling them did not fix anything.

I verified files on steam. Didn't help.

 

The picture I'm adding is a custom race, but it happens across every race. I tend to use Fair Skin, but it happens to Leyenda, and when using no skin texture.

 

 

I've also attached my plugins list to see if anything stands out, but I don't see what it would be.

Is that plugin list from your "practically no mods at all" test? I can spot quite a few that could be removed.

If we assume this is true, then that only leaves your display driver. I however suspect that "no mods at all" in this case means: "no mods at all except: RaceMenu, body + textures, LUX, ..."

 

Anyhow:

1. Save a RaceMenu preset of your character when the discoloration is visible. Doesn't matter if it disappears when opening RaceMenu.
2. Open the resulting jslot file in a text editor.
3. Go through the overrides array, your answer is in there.

 

Edit: Ooh now I see it. Yeah that's the detailmap fix MadMansGun posted below.

When I look under override and the tintInfo, I see this:

      }
   ],

 

So I assume its the skintone.dds. If I remove the code, or the file, I still get a color mismatch. If I reload the preset it's still there, if I load an in game preset (even swapping races) it's there. I reloaded the game entirely to be clear. I don't know why it's showing war paints or dirt, or tattoos, I don't use them. It also seems to only affect female characters.

 

Edit: So I gave it another shot and deleted that entire section and it seemed to work. Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I think I must have used the preset on a vanilla race and then saved over it or something by mistake. But it seems to be fine now.
