SOLVED: Unofficial Skyrim Patches breaking Vampire Body/Face Textures

[Kuldebar]

Test Subject: Hert  Vampire NPC of Half-Moon Mill  (coc halfmoonmill)

 

OK, this is a clean save game made with only official game files no mod esp's or textures installed under test profile in Mod Organizer:

 

 

Now, here is the same clean save with all the Unofficial Patches installed and correctly sorted:

 

This irritates me to no end!

 

I spent 1-2 hours combing through face and body mods and combinations and overrides trying to figure out WTF was happening. I don't play vampire characters so my body/face mods are just for better detail, nudity etc.

So, in my previous games, running into vampires in dark dungeons and caves, I probably never even noticed this issue, but in the daylight with all my higher texture mods enabled, the mismatch is even more noticeable than what is shown in the screen shot above.

 

Anyway, I found out the Unofficial Patch files are introducing this mismatch in the Hert NPC, but I have no real way to ascertain if it is with all vampires, females and/or males and so forth.

 

Any one have any ideas or suggestions? Or a fix?

What version of MO are you using?

Sorry to necro bump this thread, but I recently installed Skyrim using MO and I am having this issue, where all the vampire NPC's are face tinted. I honestly do not understand 99% of what was being said about BSA extraction priorities and such. Would anyone be willing to provide me with some idiot proof instructions on how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Basically, have you set BSA Extractor in MO to true? If so, you need to change it to false and then reinstall the UPs.

I am running MO 1.2.18

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try the Save Cleaner first and then try the BSA setting to false and reinstall UP's. Thanks again!

You cannot use the latest Unofficial Skyrim Patch with MO 1.2.18 because it will not sort it into the correct load order. Either Update MO (may require a Windows upgrade if using XP), downgrade Unofficial Skyrim Patch, or wait for USLEEP.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the info!

The face of my character becomes darker than your body to become a vampire.

 

I did not understand what the solution is.

 

Go back to install the legendary USKP BSA unpack?

 

Do I have to start a new game or I can load my game?

I would like to report I have had this come up for me as well. Sybille Stentor. What triggered this is, I was updating and modernizing one of my mods. Sybille is totally ugly and messed up. Terrible head body mismatch. I know this because the mod isn't loading her robe properly, so she is conveniently naked. After fixing her in xedit, I notice she has two sets of human eyes in her record

 

FemaleEyesHumanVampire "FemaleEyesHumanVampire" [HDPT:0007291E] 

and

FemaleEyesHumanVampire01 "FemaleEyesHumanVampire01" [HDPT:02006F90]

 

There were also a few conflicts in FemaleHeadBreton "FemaleHeadBreton" [HDPT:00051621]-easily fixed in xedit.-all green again.

 

 

The mod I am working on modernizing, had Nam9 Face Morph record in the mods column, but NOT in USLEEP OR Dawnguard. I removed the mods NAM9 record-ALL green now across the board, except for the fact she has two different sets of eyes listed. 

 

 

After Fixing her in xedit-she looked great-perfect head body match. BUT, she still has an eye problem. Her eyes are red currently, so which record is her actual eye supposed to be, the vampire01 or eyehumam vampire?-donno how xedit reads these. Is it top to bottom, top take priority? USLEEP says it want to use Vampire01 record-so that is what Ill go with.

 

 

That went badly. Her eyes look the same, but the head, body mismatch is back with a vengence.

 

Reloaded the 2nd stage of the ESP-Can only do one thing-remove the Vampire01 Eyes record that USLEEP wanted to use. Removed-reload. and Voila!

 

Sybille looks fabulous-Red eyes, but flawless head\body textures.

 

Now with pictures. I started with this-USLEEP and old mod (un edited)

 

 

 

To this, but it took some xedit work and a couple of passes

 

 

 

This how she looked mid way through.

 

 

 

I should point out-this is not strictly USLEEPs fault from what I can see. Its the old mod that had her in its record from back 2013 but  it was fixable. I popped over to see Hern and Hert, and they looked fine. Well, as fine as pasty face vampire loggers can look. But otherwise head and body textures are perfect. (how do vampires log during the day again?)
