Best looking NPC overhaul


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've gotten NPC 85 to partially work. The faces are fine, however the characters have purple hair, which most likely indicates I'm missing textures. I read earlier that 2 hair mods, KS Hairdos: 400, and SGhair 268 are required to get this to work. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Yeah.The purple is because of the missing hair textures.

I'm not a MO user myself. If you want to PM me your load order, I'll take a look at it and see if there's anything in there that I think might be conflicting.

 

There is no conflict.It does the same thing even without any other mods loaded except for the requisite DLC plugins and patches. I have literally removed everything else and still get the same results as I got with my usual load order.I even started a new game like that.

Only possible explanation is that you did not download all necessary parts, and/or combined them properly before installing.

 

A few pages back, i posted everything you need to download and how to create your own mod archive. Even made pictures how to make sure the load order and resource priority is correct, so this works in combination with any other NPC overhaul.

Problem solved.

 

TESV.exe_DX9_20150313_015336.jpg

 

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.

No,because I know how to do those things.However it's working now,though I'm not sure why because it's the same mods installed and the same load order.But it is now working.

 

I do have one question though.Is there a way to see which of the files alter which character?Because for about half of them there are other overhaul mods I would like to use for their appearances.So I'd like to remove those characters from this mod.

Posted

No, because then the second overhaul would override the ones that I want to keep from the first.I'm looking to remove certain files from one so that it doesn't override certain actors in the other.I just need to know how to tell which textures belong to which character.

file names are actor's base ID

Thank you.

So I'm using sidearm's overhauls, but I appear to be missing a couple of textures. I have ECE 1.4, including Enhanced Character Edit.esp, SG brows, and SG hair 268, but I ran into a Thalmor Justiciar with textureless eyes and lashes, and Karita of the Windpeak Inn in Dawnstar has them, too.

Did I miss a file, or is this a problem with the mods themselves?

 

From a little poking around in TES5Edit and the CK, it seems like the problem is they're pointing to eye HDPTs with texture sets that are designated a texture that wasn't included with the mod? Karita's eyes seem to use the texture set 000EyesMaleHumanDUPLICATE015, which is looking for the texture HumanEyes15.dds, but that is not a vanilla texture nor included inside the archives as far as I can see?

Do you have Eyes of Beauty installed?  I didn't see it in your listed mods.  It is needed for NPC 85.

 

edit: fixed bad english (maybe)

Ah, that's the one, I missed that. Thanks!

Hi Guys

 

I'm totally new and this is my first post.

 

Unfortately i'm still unable to make NPC 85 or NPC 54 work. The hair is there but the Faces are still the ugly Vanilla Faces

 

I have all the recommended plugins and I put jh_people2 .esp and the end of the loadorder. (I'm using Mod Organizer)

 

The only Female Replacer mod I used befor were Bjjin and Beautiful Females. Both are deactivated now and it still doesn't work. I also uninstalled Racemenu, because ECE is said to be incompatible.

 

Actually I made a screenshot of two npc and my loadorder but i cannot upload it because it is my first post (forum rules)

 

Edit: I wasn't completely right about Vanilla Faces. I installed Coverwomen today and the Faces got better. Some look more like those in the Screenshots but some are still ugly. Don't know what is wrong.

 

Bjjin Wives and Warmaidens are last after NPC_85 but they conflict with NPC_85. The result are some weird faces. Anyone knows how to fix that?

I'm a little confused here... Why did you remove RaceMenu? I'm using the latest RaceMenu and the latest esp for ECE and the JH mods are currently working fine, for the most part. They are towards the end of my load order and I have both Bijin Warmaidens and Bijin Wives just below them.

Posted

It didn't work yesterday and the instruction on nexus clearly said that ECE and Racemenu don't work with each other. So I figured I should delete racemenu in order to make it work. 

Turns out that is NOT the problem :/

Here are some Screenshots I took.

 

They do resemble the Screenshots from sidearms93 but they are not as pretty.

 

Is there some other mod he didn't mention?

Looks like you still have the default Nord heads, to me.

 

Did you:

 

- have the esps lower than any other mod that might affect them?

- make sure to overwrite anything the files asked you to when installing the mod?

- make sure you didn't then overwrite NPC 85's files with another mod's?

- install the latest version of ECE?

- make sure you did NOT edit the esp in any way in the Creation Kit?

I'm not sure if ECE would improve the NPC_85 / jh_people2 mod even more, but at least with only RaceMenu3 installed, all the NPCs i checked look exactly like in the promo images and video.

1. Yes except for Bijin Wives and Warmaidens

2. I did

3. Only with the Bijin ones

4. I have 1.4. It is the latest as far as I know

5. nope, never used Creation Kit

 

Funny thing is, Bijin works now without Problems. Many NPCs from NPC_85 look ok but there is still something about their eyes like in the Adrianne screenshot.

Posted

Could be your choice of skin texture, too. My NPCs look fine using Fair Skin Complexion CBBE.

With the NPC85 mod install along with all it's prerequisites all human npcs look as they intend to but not elves

They look like that

They look a bit strange,old,blocky, i don't know.The mod seems to do the intended changes but elves don't look right.I use racemenu and no ECE and don't use any elves overhaol mod or anything of that sort.Any help?

 

My load order for anyone who wants to take a look into my problem
