Overlays in Racemenu - Solved!!!

[Tefajo]

Ok, i am trying to use this mod

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60769/?

 

I went insane trying to figure out why i didnt have the overlay tab in my char creation menu untill i read that tab doesnt show up anymore and i should look for overlays in make up...

 

the thing is ... they are not showing... I have the normal default paintings and i dont see anything that says "overlay"

Either i am looking for something the wrong way or i am missing something

 

These are the plugins i have related to racemenu

 

Racemenu.esp

Racemenuplugin.esp

RaceCompatibilityUSKPOverride.esp *

RacemenuOverlays.esp

 

* = Should i even have this? I am using USLEEP

 

 

All i am trying to acomplish is a "gothic" look (true black lipstick and eyeshow)

 

"Black lipstick is hard to come by in Skyrim. Moving from tintmask to complexion allows true inky black lipstick. (2048px, 8.8.8)"

 

I do not even know what the mod author is talking about : /

 

Hints?

have you tried the "face paint" tab? picking a slot and hitting whatever key (Y on gamepad) to open the texture list

Yes, but i dont see anything new there. 

I can choose textures and colors (i am using the replacer version so i choose femaleheadwarpaint_03) but there are no other options nor i can understand how to make it look black

 

I downloaded main file (loose) + optional for black lips. 

I cant make sense of his  "Moving from tintmask to complexion allows true inky black lipstick" . I dont see anything like that in racemenu and if he is talking about replacing a texture form the folder tintmask i have no idea where to move it.

I rarely play female chars so this is all kind of new to me :$

I don't think you should be using uskp patch with usleep

you need to go to the face paint tab or make up tab https://gyazo.com/be12f13455c882680c5fc97cd22b3664

then you go down to one of those tabs underneath it (like the ones that say 'default' on my screenshot)

and pres e, it should let you select a color, make sure you put the lowest bar (i think there are 4) to the max so you don't have see through paint and just press accept

after that press T to choose the texture, it should show up in a little list

Ok, i was looking for something that it wasnt there then (something with the name of overlays)

Ty very much for this

 

Anyway, what you describe is exactly what i do, but then i cant manage to change the color to pitch back.

The author of the mod i linked says that "Moving from tintmask to complexion allows true inky black lipstick"  . Any clues on what this could mean?

I would have asked in the mod comment tab but the author is not very active

[ZelenEagle]

go to your complexion slider and slide that one, see if that does anything

ok i just checked to be sure, i do not have any "complexion" slider

[ZelenEagle]

It should be in the head tab

[Tefajo]

ok, i misunderstood you. I thought you meant a tab and not a not a slider, my bad

 

I do have it, but moving it doesnt seem to do a thing (to the lips that is, it does change the face skin tho)

[ZelenEagle]

well, that's the only thing called complexion in racemenu as far as i know, so i have no idea

 

edit: are you sure you installed it right? i can see it if i scroll to the end of the complexion slider...

Are you certain you have face overlays activated? I can't find it now, but there was another topic about face overlays where someone had a similar problem. By default racemenu has them disabled because if a character with a face overlay gets decapitated the game apparently crashes. Have a look in Data/SKSE/Plugins/NiOverride.ini and see what number you have set for the face. If it's zero you won't be able to apply any. Once that's set to a number greater than zero you should be able to apply them from the Makeup section in the sliders tab.

Edit:

Just did, nothing new happened. Either i am doing something wrong or i am missing something.

This is the darkest i get on eyes and lips

 

 

 

In the "make up" section i changed the color for femaleheadwarpaint03 and 07 (lips and eyes) 

Moving the complexion slider only change skin

 

 

 

 

This is how it should look

 

 

[Tefajo]

I am an idiot:

It happens that the optional file was a complexion replacer and it was being overwritten by another mod (that specific file alone).

I had noticed this before but since it was a "femaleheadfreckles" or something like that i was like "this has nothing to do with my problem, is not a warpaint"

 

 

So, issue solved. 

 

[ZelenEagle]

nice

Glad you got it sorted out!
