Neck Seam with Skyrim Beautiful Followers

[Nephenee13]

So normally I have effectively no neck seams, using CBBE and the textures that come with it (haven't found others I like). Installed NPC85, and everything is good with it.

But then I install Skyrim Beautiful Followers and I get neck seems on them. Its not the gray face bug, its just the textures no longer match.

 

I find this very irritating. Any thoughts?

SBF changes all the followers to have a custom race (111NordRace), which uses everything from the vanilla races except the 4 head textures:
 
...\ Data \ Textures \ 111NordRace \ head \
femalehead.dds
femalehead.msn.dds
femalehead_s.dds
femalehead_sk.dds
 
There are 2 simple solutions for you: (only choose one)

• EITHER Copy your installed vanilla race textures over those from SBF (in the 111NordRace\head folder mentioned above)
• OR Install SG Female Textures Renewal for CBBE as you vanilla race textures

Oh and for anyone who is getting blocky face makeup etc. on Nord player characters after installing SBF, you just need to replace at least "femaleheadnord_lips.dds" (possibly more) in SBF's "faceparts" folder with whatever hi-res makeup you have installed.
Advanced users should also check in tes5edit where SBF changes stuff about vanilla Nords, then patch it and/or replace all the textures.

Ah! That will do it. I don't use the texture renewal, I didn't like the look of it. I'll try the other fix tonight.

I did that and it worked flawlessly, thank you!
