I can't get good enemies and wanderers NPC mod , most of them still use vanilla hair.

There are some mod that change the hair style of them but add too much hairpack (special Apachii hair) will cause slow or crash when i play.

Are there any mod replace vanilla hair sets with SG hair ?

 

For example like superior lore-friendly hair , it replace vanilla hair but don't add extra hair sets to the game.

My combine for NPC overhaul are

SG texture + univision face + eyes of beauty +GS female eyebrows . It work pretty good , But the vanilla hair is problem :( .

Apologies if this isn't posted in the right spot... I figured I'm probably not the only one who is using the JH mods from sidearmf93 so this might be a good spot to ask for some advice.

 

This morning, I switched from SG textures to hhaley's Fair Skin Complexion textures. Also updated my skeleton to the latest XPMSE. Everything seems to be working great for my character but the NPCs I'm running into that are changed by the JH mods now have a blue band on their foreheads.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? My first instinct was to just uninstall/reinstall. But if they are just missing something from the SG textures, maybe I could just get what I need from there and copy into the Data folder...?

 

Update: Problem solved by installing SG Brows again. :)

that's because you have remove number 3 files

 

Hi all, I have been reading the thread a while and from the posts on here I have intslled NPC 85 by sidearmf93 and after a little work got it all up and running great. I thought I would post some details here for those that want to run this NPC replacement mod on their systems. I'm not going to go into actually downloading and repacking the files, you can work that all out for yourself as this thread already covers most of that,

 

This mod requires the following mods to work correctly and I have used ModManager to install all the files.

 

KS Hairdos: 400

 

SGhair 268 by by HelloSanta :

 

SG Female Brows :

 

The Eyes of Beauty :

 

Also on the webpage it also says to have ECE 1.2 or higher installed but I don't have that and it seems to run okay.

 

Mod Installation (In this order)

 

 (NPC 54) "First post so I can post a link but its the NPC54 link at the bottom of sidearmf93's menu"

 

This is the main mod as far as I can tell as it adds  54 NPC's to the game, but I only count 53 form the pictures on the webpage so I seem to be missing one somewhere.

 

 

 

These are the NPC's that NPC54 replaces:

The Hairstyler

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48470/?

 

This mod is pretty good NPC overhaul , basically it allow you to change the hair style of NPCs as you want.

Though i don't use it on all NPC so IDK if the game will crash if i do so :D .

 

But sadly it don't work on children.

Sidearm's donyaakin children mod pretty good when combine it with RS children

pretty much overhaul all children NPC with just those 2 mod.

Only problem is sidearm's donyaakin wasn't compete mod , there are 4 children NPC left unmod

Aeta ,Eirid ,Agni ,Erith and Fjotra .

I can add other mod to Fjotra using Sybil of Dibella so problem seem fixed

But i can't find way to prefect other 4 . RS children't boys pretty good , but the girl wasn't as goos as donyaakin .

Any idea to fix it ?

I can't think of any of my mods in my load order that do what you are suggesting. NPC85 is working just fine for me without ECE, as are the three other JH mods I listed.

 

SBF All in One.esp

 

Makes those changes to all Female Races.

 

Ere go you don't need the ECE plugin if your running the most popular female follower overhaul on the Nexus.

 

Which basically covers why some get it to work and others not without the ECE plug.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I had been wondering were the origins of the race changes had come from for a while actually for about a month before I found this file.

 

SBF I mean, my reasons were that I noticed a Mismatched Lip texture which I later resolved by downloading some Pretty Face textures, using complextion 0 in racemenu, and also starting a new game to avoid that mismatched weight issue with the head.

 

I had figured for a while that the SBF file author was in fact basing all of his changes on ECE, and that I might need the head mesh as well as packaged face textures for some time last couple of weeks in fact.

 

Thing is I use 7B with Fairskin and was hunting around for a decent way to match up my head textures with the additional changes made to female heads and I wound up using TK's Pretty Face makeup textures as well as some finagling around in Racemenu to resolve the weird lipstick issue brought about to default females.

 

Anyway I think my thoughts on SBF are pretty much confirmed had I been using ECE I may never had noticed the issue, just like the author or if I used a custom race many ppl do then also might never have been an issue for me.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Anyways

 

I use SBF all in one.

 

I use NPC's of Dibella,

 

I have a custom patch I made to make those compatible with Specialized Followers, OBIS, Female Vampires Wear Newmiller Vampire Curoas, and a whole bunch of other stuff I cant rememeber off hand that needed to be fixed so women actually had all of the correct intended changes in my game.

 

That's the problem with npc overhauls for just a nice face.  You wind up with vanilla npc behavior cause it overwrites the same entries and there is no way to automate the patch work outside of Xedit for TesVedit something  I realized well after I had made my patch by hand.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As far as the Darkface/BrownFace bug,

 

That's caused by 3 different issues.

 

Your ESP could be out of order likely being overwritten by another overhaul

 

Your actual game files could be Overwritten very common.

 

Your save game could have baked that in, Very Unlikely anymore with an up to date game via Steam.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Black Face/Body

 

You done run outta of Video Memory

 

Cause,

 

Way too big arse textures.

 

Likely your Texture file is 4K file texture.

 

A lot of UNP texture's are actually like around 1K..............Which is what causes following issues.

-Head/Body mismatch

-Blocky ass face, nipples, vag..........Your MSN files are stupid small

-Missing Vag/Anus Texture

 

Unp Makeup Textures and Overlays can compound issues.

Most of them are around 1K RES

-Blocky Texture Issue

-Blocky Nose Lips Cheeks

-Blocky Nips Vag Anus

In the same vein, does anyone know of any good replacers for the NPCs from Dragonborn? The only one I've seen so far is Babes of Skyrim, and I'm not too fond of that one's style.

NPC of Dibella, has well all of the female npc's covered,

 

So what you could do is overwrite the parts you don't want like mix and match different packs. 

 

I use NPC's Dibella as a Base

Then I overwrite with SBF-all in one.

I then overwrote that with different Thalmoor Elves from the site listed here.

Noob question here, For npc85 which eye version do you use? I know its the eyes of beauty but there are like 3 version of that mod, Player/NPC/Elves....So which one is suitable with this mod?

NPC and Elves because npc85 modifies 2 elves(Dravynea and Taarie) and NPC of this mod.

The Player Version is only for Player :-)

Can someone suggest an efficient way to get Skyrim Of GaranSilent and the JH mods from sidearmf93 to work together? I have these mods towards the end of my load order and I keep moving SoG around but I still keep having problems with some of the NPCs like Mirabelle Ervine, Faralda, Ingun Blackbriar not appearing properly. They always appear with the default Nord face but their hair is changed...

 

I've tried going into TES5edit and removing the NPC entries in SoG for the ones I do not want to be changed but that doesn't appear to be working with all the NPCs.

I've also encountered numerous problems trying to make sidearmf93's npcs to work. I managed to make everything work, except the elf vampires from Dawnguard. Female humans and vampires like Hert and Fura all work fine, but vampire elves all have the brown face issue. There is a mention of a fix on the blog, but the google translate of it just makes no sense.
