Best looking NPC overhaul

[ntwackme48]

So I have NPC 85 installed (all the various plugins) and all the NPCs look great with the exception of the imperial/stormcloak men and women - they have the ugly brown texture that mismatches their bodies.   I've verified that I have all the plugins, ECE, textures, etc and made sure to put the banditfemale.esp towards the bottom in my load order, etc.   Still not luck.   Nothing in tes5edit appears to be overriding the imperials/stormcloak guards - I just don't know what would be causing those ugly brown faces.     I've attached my load order for your reference.  I find it odd that all my NPCs look great except the imperial and stormcloack guards.

 

Thanks

Dumb question... Are you using this mod?

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49489/?

 

I'm pretty sure the JH Populated Skyrim is dependent on it.

Problem solved.

 

 

And I did it without being condescending to anyone. Except yatol.

 

How did I resolve this problem? It was simpler than I thought...

 

Looking inside the archive for ECE, there are many folders. sidearmf93 lists ECE as requirement for all his mods but JH Dawnguard appears to be the only one that actually does need ECE.

 

As I mentioned, there are several folders in this archive... and more than one esp. There is a 00 Main folder, with an esp. And a 01 ECE folder, also with an esp.

 

I was grabbing the esp from the first folder, CharacterMakingExtender.esp, and this was not solving the problem at all.

 

Why was I grabbing this esp? Well, I had a 3DM follower named Gustav who was using an older version of ECE as a dependency. He used CharacterMakingExtender.esm.

 

So I decided to take a second look at the ECE archive tonight and I noticed this second folder, 01 ECE, which contains an esp called EnhancedCharacterEdit.esp. I grabbed this file, reinstalled JH Dawnguard and just tested it out with positive results.

Thanks you ! the 01 ECE folder(esp +texture)from the ECE archive is the only thing required indeed to have JH_dawnguard working properly

You saved me a LOT of trouble and time.

 

I now run all JH enemies/NPC mods for female and i don't have any more fugly peolpe (exept the old ppl but its the lore friednly touch)

I tried many other overhaul, they mess between each other or they have poor quality, people should really look more about Sidearmf93 works.

What is the best npc overhaul that covers bandirs and forsworn/witches and necromancers. I also use OBIS so not sure if there are any overhauls compatible with that.

There is no best NPC overhaul.. Lots of people uses Sidearms's (JH_NPC), GaranSilent (SOGS 6), Bijin Warmaidens, and Immersive Wenches.. Its all about personal preference...

It would be best if there are some good old female NPC eye candy overhaul , cause the sexy armors and poses made me cry when enter city and meet the granny with sexy clothe and sexy pose . Maybe something called skyrim sexy granny overhaul will stop my tears .

I use a mod called "elder outfits" from the nexus which gives all elder npcs the default clothing. It helps

Does anyone know if it's possible to get GCE to work with other replacers? I'm currently using it along with NPC85, SOGS, Ordinary Women and Bijin for females and Men of Winter, Hot Male Housecarls and Males of Skyrim for males. Yet for some reason, even though the hairs from GCE load, the faces are completely hideous. I took a look in TES5Edit and noticed that all of the GCE NPCs use custom races, while other overhauls use vanilla races. Any idea if this is part of the problem?

 

gce is a bsa?? wen you get the grey faces is cause the facegen data doesnt match with the esp data.

[Crappy Potato]

What would be the most efficient way to change the textures for the latest SOGS? Getting a little tired of seeing sweaty textures on characters who aren't doing anything to break a sweat haha

 

Are these NPCS using SG textures?

 

just look for the SOGS folder in data/textures/actors/character/SOgs and look for were you got the female textures, and replace the "_s.dds" files whit dry ones of another skin textures, im not shure but i tink i see ones in the pure or in fair skin... i dont remember cause i replace it whit wet ones, i use demonica i tink

Can anyone help me with a download?

I've spent the last hour trying to register on Baidu so I can get the download link...and trying to register on Weibo so I can log into Baidu with that account. I'm not getting the verification SMS to any of the virtual throwaway numbers I've tried and I really don't want to give my actual phone number to a Chinese website just so I can download a Skyrim mod...if someone who already has an account could download that and post a mirror, I'd really appreciate it.

[pushto]

PersonallyI have to say there is no "best" one out there, because I simply mashed up all of existing npc replacers together, and only picked out ones that I like from each mod. (Being said, sidearm93f+gce+bijin+sgnpc by hellosanta+rschildren+other less known mods from jpn) This way there no discrimination!

[learnedcock]

I use 85 as a base, then overwrite with Ordinary Women, then overwrite with GCE (only Adrianne), then a few from SBF, then overwrite with Bijin, then Seranaholic, Tocatta as Elesif, and finally merge them all together.

 

I also make some VNPC mods to alter a few more vanilla characters using various follower mods. I also use it to alter characters from other mods, as I find that many of the best-looking followers are just boring vanillas, while some of the most interesting followers are ugly. So I take hot boring ones and VNPC their appearance onto the interesting ones. For example, Vilja as Chaconne, Zora Fair-Child as Alexandria Frost Witch (with modified textures and normals to add burn scars), and so on.

I think I started with Bijin [Warmaidens and Wives] at first, then BTRH, some SBF, IoS for a while, before replacing it with UNO (the first one). Most of the pick and mix is not merely derived from facial aesthetics but body armor/clothes weight slider considerations [some armor/clothes only had max 100 weights, any NPCs wearing them with less than 100 will introduce neck seams]. I came upon SOGS when I read this thread.

 

Amorous Adventures gave me the best advice, where telling me about NPC Visual Transfer Tool allowed a plethora of standalone followers to be plastered onto NPCs. It was at this time I created out of my SOGS files a custom standalone esp out of the replacer [creating new NPC records out of the replacer, fixing texture addresses and such], so that out of SOGS I can choose who gets what using VNPC. This method I also use to even repurpose other specific/individual NPC replacers for standalones that I can VNPC.

 

If you want to cover enemies, Hott Vampires and Hott Witches cover a bit. Immersive + Deadly Wenches can cover some more.

 

Since you mentioned OBIS, I did TES5edit out my Deadly Wenches esp and it does override some of OBIS' leveled list. So you'll have to figure out the esp for yourself how this works out for you.

[DarkRavage]

Is there any mods that specifically edit enemy npcs?

[sidfu]

bah dark purple forhead for hert. i know i fixe it before but cant remember how sigh this for npc 85
