Made Skryim Vanilla, Weird Issues persist!

[thunderclam]

I've posted some examples of the following texture/mesh issue with Skyrim as I've been investigating ways to fix it. I've come up short with "try a fresh reinstall" as the last resort. Well, I've now tried it and the issue remains:

Note: The problem only afflicts Wood Elf males. A new issue has also cropped up:

This affects all female characters.

 

Because this is not a mod, and I am running vanilla, I do not understand what in heck is causing these graphical issues. I am currently testing GPU and game graphics settings to try and find a solution. If anyone has seen this before, please help. I've looked all over the place for answers and haven't found anything that sticks.

Yeah, I've looked at that but always shrugged at the fact that it was abandoned and only does a few models. It also isn't likely to fix my issues with beards, the missing wood elf hair, etc.

 

That said, I really appreciate all the help. I wish this was one of the batteries of issues others had faced but it seems like something has gone very wrong on my rig when it comes to Skyrim.
