Was this caused by ECE or...

[MidbossVyers]

I recently installed ECE but then uninstalled it.  Both the installation and uninstallation were done through TES Mod Manager for Skyrim.  So far, I do not see much residual effect from ECE, but I noticed that the part of Balgruuf's beard directly on his face and the part of the beard that juts out are slightly different textures.  Was it always like this, or was this caused by ECE?  If it was always like this, then fine, but if it was caused by ECE's installation and subsequent removal, how do I get rid of that residual effect?  Screenshot is attached for your convenience.

I got that problem after getting some mod that made Balgruuf into a chick, but after I deleted teh mod, his beard was all 2 toned. IDK lol Shitty Engine be Shitty

Was your "some mod" ECE?  Or more importantly, were you able to fix it?  Ironically, this only happens with some bearded NPCs, as Hrongar does not have this issue in the slightest.

It would be better if you had a close up shot in addition. I had a hard time trying to notice the difference. Not exactly 'convenient' to the point of being comfortable. 

 

To the point,

If you uninstalled ECE, the save using the mod will obviously be affected. And if ECE is the only mod you uninstalled recently, well no shit the problem is cause by uninstalling ECE. Remember that there is no such thing as a cleansave, so always except some shape of problem when uninstalling mods.

Actually, I compared what I had to his profile image on uesp.  Apparently, it's not that much different, so I don't think it would prompt any action on my part.  It just looks like his beard is "attached" onto his face rather than growing from the inside out.  Furthermore, I never actually saved whilst using ECE.  I installed ECE, played around with it for a while, and uninstalled.  The save that I loaded up was from before I installed ECE (no save was made after I installed ECE).  I was worried whether or not ECE affected the NPC face files, but apparently it was always like this.

I don't see how ECE could change Balgruuf anyway.

yea he looks the same in my game, like his beard is a double mesh and texture

to make it "look" more real i guess

I think there might be a leftover generated NPC head mesh somewhere.

I was just there in my game and the beard's exactly the same. I even remembered this thread so I took time to check it out really close. Same.

Oh, never mind then.
