All vampires in game have dark brown faces

[amoeba1126]

I am having the infamous vampire dark face tint issue that seems to be caused by Unofficial Skyrim Patch when installed through Mod Organizer. Apparently, this is due to some BSA priority issue caused by the way MO works. Problem is, I don't understand what they are talking about in this thread and don't know how to begin to fix this issue. Can any kind soul help me out here?

There's no BSA issues in MO. Used to be, but not for a long time. That team over there is not up to date on MO. This can be fixed with the save game cleaner. I'll post a link when I get home to instructions but that will not be until this evening.

Cool thanks for the information and looking forward to the link to the save game cleaner. Thanks again for the response. Really appreciate it!

Will do and thanks! This might be delayed as I ran into another problem while trying to get HDT-PE and TBBP to work for the first time to check it out and after doing that and undoing that, my dagger seems to be permanently attached to the hip instead of the back, even though animation is still for the back. I should have just left well enough alone. Modding Skyrim can be extremely frustrating sometimes. LOL

So I was using the wrong version of XPMS and now the world of Skyrim is right again for me. Just ran the save cleaner and will go to Half Moon Mill to see if Hert still looks like she went for a tan with only her face exposed. Wish me luck! :D

Alright so the save cleaner didn't fix the issue, nor did reinstalling UP's. Changing the NPC's weight on the other hand, temporarily fixes the issue.

Do you have any NPC mods that change the appearance of NPCs (other than what is in STEP)?

Yes, Apachiii SkyHair for NPC's.

Skin or body textures or meshes?

Skin or body textures or meshes?

UNP Base, SG Textures Renewal

[TechAngel85]

Does Renewal have the vampire files?

Yes it does

I would start there. Disable it and clean your save as instructed in the link above. See if that fixes it, is so. The skin retexture is your culprit.

[amoeba1126]

The entire skin texture or just the vampire part?

[TechAngel85]

Either or, but you'll still need to clean your save because face tint data is baked into the saves.
