About this mod

Love the Mature skin texture, but can't play as a vampire cause of ugly neck seams. Or are annoyed by neck seams by other vampires while having Dawnguard installed, but want to keep it vanilla? Here's a neck seam fix for you :).

Permissions and credits
EDIT:
Less dirt only deletes dirt from the main texture. However, most dirt is added by a separate dirt mask, only detectable in CK. If you want THAT to be gone, you'll need to download a separate mod, I've seen one on the nexus. However the main texture will be more smooth and less dirt in general, see comparison picture.

On the comparison without dirt mask I use the dirt mask remover from this mod, but not the textures:

WHAT DOES IT?
making the Dawnguard vampire texture for female (high resolution texture pack) flow over into the Mature Skin texture from here:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32986/?

HOW?
I tried to make the neck part flow over from the normal face texture into the vampire face texture in Photoshop with 3 layers (original face, vampire 50% and vampire 100%) for diffuse and 2 (original face, vampire face) for bump map. Then make the layer flow over into each other as good as I could.

WHY?
When playing a vampire with this skin texture while having Dawnguard installed, you get a huge neck seam between Dawnguard head texture and Maevan2s body texture. This greatly reduces it, trough it does not seem to fix 100%, it like 90% fixet.

WIL YOU MAKE IT FOR ... SKIN TEXTURE?
No, I made this for myself and I really do not like those doll like textures the rest seam to use. I rather like my female to look like woman. I don't even know teens with such a perfect faces, only girls around 7 years old and woman with way to much make-up...
I also was so stupid to not save the Photoshop file so you can't just add another original head texture to it.

WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN:
A head texture and a normal map for it. Bove are made to fit to fit the mature texture set.
You will need the original texture by Maevan2 for it to work.

HOW DO I INSTALL?
The rar file simple contains the two textures. You gotta copy them into this folder:
[your Skyrim root]\Data\Textures\actors\character\female.

I DON'T HAVE DAWNGUARD?
No need to download, Dawnguard chances vampires, I believe that before Dawnguard vampires use vanilla head anyways. If not, this would still be no fix.

DOES THIS WORK FOR MALES?
no, I don't use a replacer for females as I feel guys look okay. Vanilla guys will obviously fit with vanilla textures...
