Best looking NPC overhaul

[Apnea]

A lurker here, I just confirmed that JH NPC (Elf, Bandits, Fornsworn, Vampire, NPC, Donyaakin) and SOGS NPC (v.6) works on Skyrim Special Edition. Unfortunately I can't recommend the KZ Style NPC for SE (Vampire Male will make your game freeze, Orc mesh stretch, And elves also freeze your game especially Anoriath) but the children is fine for KZ Style.

 

The simple trick for fixing the dark faced when using SOGS and JH, just pick your most favorite one and make it overwrote the other (It's great if you can use MO but unfortunately i can't use MO).

 

Then Remove the overwritten NPC from the overwritten esp using TESVEDIT and make sure nothing will overwrite them (In simple case if you use Skyforge Shield mod, it will overwrite Ria and make her face gone dark) and Save.

 

And make sure you installed ECE v1.2 or later (CME is not necessary since SE can't use it without SKSE) and this mod Vampire Skin Color FIX. Use LOOT and make sure your load order is correct (For safety measure)

 

Open TESVEDIT Once more and load all your active esp (Use Shift+click for faster load).

Find ECE esp and look for RACE.

Copy as Override all of the race Except for Elves, Khajit, and Orc to the last esp you use (In my case it's Alternate Start - Live Another Life)

Then Find VSCF esp and look for RACE.

Copy as override Elves race to the last esp you use.

And Save.

 

This is my Load Order.

SRX NPC as base

SOGS

TKAA

JH NPC (all of them except companion)

Improved Bards Skyrim

BIJIN AIO

 

Hope this simple tutorial will helps.

 

Edit : Using ECE Race for override will break male vampire texture and make them black. Change it back manually using SSEEdit for the 4 human race vampire (Nord, Imperial, Breton, and Redguard)

Did you convert the meshes for SSE, as well as save the .ESP's in the new CK? That could solve your issues with KZ.

No. there is no need for converting the meshes with Optimizer. Just follow the step above carefully.

this is my newly updated NPC Mod.

 

Ethereal Elven Overhaul

Better Males

Men of Winter

Metalsaber NPC

SRX NPC

TKAA

The Ordinary Women

SBF

It cover almost 90% NPC in skyrim. Oh also you can make a new .esp file instead of overwrite them on another mod .esp it will be increasing your .esp file though.

 

*On bandit female.esp you need to remove the new added guard NPC if you using Skyrim Special edition and remove them from leveled list or you will get CTD.

Is there a simple (haha simple) way to get the NPCs in one room to check for errors, the way some of you are displaying them? 

Is there like a QASmoke command/script for all NPCs affected by these mods?

there's only my txt

and i won't complete them

 

 

think he forgot (there's a lot of useless heads in facegendata, it's huge with hairs mod)

why bother for a npc you will only see once during his quest

don't have to check them either, they can just use redguard bandits heads

game pick head that load stuff from template -> game pick template that load a random head

bye bye the version with a shield, 2 hands or whatever

there's 3 femalehair draugr, 3 malehair and 3 beards

so it's 9 npcs, for mele 1h 1,2,3,4,5,6, mele 2h 1,2,3,4,5,6, missile 1,2,3,4,5,6, ambush 1,2,3,4,5,6...

-> hundreds of useless npcs (you can't find the stuff that load them in your load order if you don't delete them)

There is a overhaul for Non-named NPC for SSE? maybe here is not the place to ask this but just trying :b

 

I tried with KZ/Bandit female, and both cause the game to get stuck at some specific .NIF faces, so i had to remove them

Man i love SKSE64 now, it literally have no problems for me and ECE is so good, works perfectly, even you can use old presets of Oldrim and it will work there too

True, but I have always found racemenu easier to use, but there again there was always something that kinda put me off ece, can not really explain what either it is just ermm, yeh.

 

Though with skse64, I think I may well wait till it at least hits beta before installing anything that requires it, though to be honest it does not really matter as I am building a huge merged weapons pack and till that is done only really playing around as when it is finished it will free up about 30-40 esps, including the vis patches for them, and should remove a crap load of world edits and scripts that the various weapons mods use to give to npc and to the various locations in game.

Just an info for anyone, if isn't posted already, SOGS v6 is on steam lol http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=863491899

I'm so happy i don't have to bother with those things on baidu

[noname459]

Is there an overhaul that ONLY does Generic NPCs appearances like Bandits, Guards, Witches, etc? Sorry if there was already an answer to this; my searching has only led me to finding overhauls that affect more than just generic NPCs and/or changed how they function.

 

Are you still looking for?

https://m.blog.naver.com/sidearmf93/90190941021

This mod replaces just these Bandits, Guards, Witches etc but bandits redgard.

It's Korean website but you just need download links at bottoms.

SGhair and SG Female Brows  are required.

 

http://seesaawiki.jp/teslab/d/NPC%b4%e9%ca%d1%b9%b9

And this replaces  female bandits only, but bandits redgard are included.

It's Japanese website, just download Bandit face fix. no mod required, but there hairs are vanilla. 

Google translation might be use of.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I have a question though. Did you experience any brown face bug from this mod, and if so what did you do to fix it?

Ah okay. I'm still a little green with TES5Edit, so I'm avoiding SOGS at the moment and just using NPC Transfer Tools.

[yatol]

took some time to find how to get rid of the hairs in the head nifs

 

 

 

 

same can be done to pubes instead of putting that in the head nif

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the does it stay test

 

 

 

time to renumber sofiarace to nordrace and delete... only problems those custom races

didn't revert back

formlist property hairfemale auto
formlist property hairmale auto

function Onload()

    headpart gnd
    int i = utility.randomint(0,4)
    actor actorref = self.GetCasterActor() as actor
    actorbase npc = actorref.getactorbase() as actorbase
    int sex = npc.getsex()
    if sex ==1
           gnd = hairfemale.getat(i) as headpart
    else
        gnd = hairmale.getat(i) as headpart
    endif
    actorref.changeheadpart(gnd)
    
endFunction

 

 

 

 

 

[yatol]

random hairs on npc? nothing complicated

 

 

difference between elisif and erikur?

elisif have markhumanoidnohair, that have an hairline mesh, because it's small, just to get a mesh called "hair" in the nif

the hairs that are distribute to npc all have editorid "hair"

so if you replace "hair" with "hair", game now want "hair" instead of "hair" in the head nif, that is in the head nif, and there's no problem

 

don't know why the guards are fine (use trait?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

next step is to teach those npc how to wear something else from time to time

So how did you get this to work? My understanding is that JH requires ECE but that conflicts with EEO. I'd like to use both but thought I'd have to either have better looking elves, or a few good looking elves and a bunch of ugly ones.

I looked at the files and it has no facegen files in it not sure if it's working as it's supposed to.

Actually it won't conflict with either EEO or JH IF you follow the steps that i post before this. Don't use ECE slider one since Script Extender not fully out of Alpha yet. Select the NPC that you want. Remove NPCs that conflict with another and manually sort the NPC as you see fit (LOOT messed up my order, so...)

 

So far i didn't met any grey faced NPC in my 50+ hrs playthrough. Try it first and see what happen.

 

Edit : Found a Grey faced elf in boethiah shrine will see what caused it.

So do I still need to copy the ECE race to the bottom of my load or is this problem only happen in SSE? can you let me know which race from ECE do I need to copy? also, do I need to replace the HDT file inside JH NPC (children)?

Since SKSE64 alpha is out you don't need to copy the 'race' from ECE (Use the original ECE from Special Edition). However you need to remove non elven and orc vampire race from Vampire face fix. Use XPMSE for HDT and yes you can copy the HDT file inside JH Children (but why you want a jiggly small children?)
