How do I remove warpaint and dirt from npc's, while using Botox for Skyrim?

Could anyone tell me where to go and what to look for in data files to accomplish this please?

Thank You.

You are unable to remove it in Race menu?

 

If you mean removing it from NPCs, that presents an issue. If you delete the textures they'll probably turn purple (literally). You'd have to edit each NPC individually.

 

But a workaround that you might be able to do is to open the texture files in GIMP, erase everything, and then save them. But I would not recommend doing this with the raw skyrim files. Better to make copies of the dirt textures and such and have the empty ones overwrite as a separate mod.

 

As for where the files are specifically, they're likely packed into a BSA file. You'd need to unpack them and look through.

Thank you for the reply! I was hoping for something easier, I had read another users post where they said removing dirt & warpaint from NPC's was easier when using Botox than with other body mods. They did not elaborate on the process which led to my post.

Have a great day.

Personally i am not a fan of botox for skyrim. The faces are beautiful for sure, but in my experience they're unable to have expressions on them. It can look weird. But that was for LE and a long time ago. Maybe it's gotten better since then.

Works fine in SE, especially with Expressive Facegen Morphs.

It works alright but I uninstalled it because it made all the women look underage, and affected my player characters skin tone too much.

Thanks for the help!
