This mod will most definitely conflict with any other vanilla replacer mods. Remember to overwrite existing files, even UNP as I have updated the textures to try to hide the neck seams. place the .esp at the bottom of your load order or you will get texture mismatches. This mod works fine with UUNP and Bodyslide.
If you want to use CBBE, just overwrite with the CBBE files. Remember to use suitable CBBE textures too!
place the .esp at the very bottom of your load order. no exceptions
I fixed the race records for this mod and made an esp replacer that won't give black face to Vampire Dark elf and Wood elf males. The Replacer esp is here: babes combined.esp. A replacer esp edited for USSEP is here Be advised that the 3DNPC patch for BOS is broken and will cause CTDs. I fixed it. The 3DNPC replacer is Here @DarOne45 feel free to upload these patches. No credits required. But please inform me so I can remove them from my patch and replacer page. Thanks
Would you be interested in adding a patch to change the housecarls back to their male selves? See my comment above (from the 20th of October). I suppose I could... but am focused on a new utility ATM.
simply find the formids for the housecarls and delete them from the esp in the npc tab with Xedit, as well as their facegen assets in the textures meshes folders. The facegen assets will use the same formids you are deleting in the esp, as file names. example xx123456, where the xx is your load order. The Texture/mesh facegen names will then be 00123456
This was my go to mods since I tried using this along with enbs stuff, would you know it. My 1050 ti mosfet blow up after I forgot to fall asleep during Playthrough (lol) and there goes my first ever fully modded skyrim Playthrough, it's unfortunately happened right around the gpu shortage. So I put skyrim behind my catalog. But when I came back I noticed there's dark face everywhere. Anyway, dear diary aside. This mod Much better than pandora npcs and probably the best among those npcs overhaul mod imo. I know the modder work is basically done. But I hope they will comeback and add or improve the (frankly) impressive works, Thanks again for your hard work modder 😊😊 Edit: found it the patch solution posted by sattyre did indeed work. Just pay extra attention during vortex installation.
This is pretty much abandoned, right? Tried to use it and got brown faces everywhere. I even created a new profile on vortex with just this mod (and apachii) and still got brown face on loading a new game. I'd guess it has to do with the update to AE? Any solutions? Or good recommendations for other mods if there is no hope?
Why? Why is this not an option rather than forced? Even male players sometimes play as females. Do we always want females to desire females? Can't this mod be women friendly? I would like to use this mod but this seems to target a limited audience. Particularly annoying. Has anyone made a patch that undoes this... or better yet: change the appearance of the male housecarls?
Some of the Greay/brown face bug is due to the Unofficial USEP patch I was making a patch today for this,BUVARP and Babes IW patch. And Found several named and generic NPC's Having the wrong Headtype in USEP. The one that stands out the most is Lalette (Morthal) who is a BRETON vampire she always has a grey face in my game but while making the patch I found USEP listed her as Orc Vampire headtype. I fixed it in USEP And now the grey head is gone. I was using SSEEDIT. So while it should have been overridden by Babes some mods Really low in the Load order can cause the issue. Just thought this may help.
The black face bug is not caused by USSEP. Black face in the male vampires is caused by this mod's incorrect race records. The head data in Race Records need to come from DawnGuard.esm not Skyrim.esm. What you should have done was changed the head type in this mod. Beyond that, black face comes from esp and asset mismatch. The order in which the game reads the assets, must match exactly the load order of the esps. That includes patches for NPCs. Patches for NPCs have to be directly under the NPC overhaul it is patching or it can cause out of order black face. You obviously have a conflict happening and the assets and esps are not matching up. That is why when you change the headtype it clears up the issue. You will not have the black face with only USSEP installed with that headtype
This mod causes some NPC's to have a brown face bug. Two I know of right now are Mjoll the Lioness and Legate Rikke. I have no other mods that should cause this and overwrote anything that might.

This mod will cause black face with male vampire dark elves and male vampire wood elves. The Head Data in race records for those two vampire elves comes from skyrim.esm and not from Dawnguard.esm or USSEP. The females of those races in the same records are correct. They have been corrected in the USMP - Babes of Skyrim patch on the USMP patch page.
So my Question is do you have a list of NPCs you did work on and as well as weight scales for any blackface, seams, and or texture fixes if not that cool and all I just like to see any named NPCs it replaces

If you want to use CBBE, just overwrite with the CBBE files. Remember to use suitable CBBE textures too!
place the .esp at the very bottom of your load order. no exceptions
USSEP Compatibility vampire dark face bug fixed.
Feminine/anime Hairstyles removed from males.
1,590 npc's now overhauled!
Female vampires now have fangs.
The 5 Vampire followers that were in version 1.0 will now be an optional file.
If you had version 1 installed, remove totally before installing version 2.0 or expect some strangeness.
For CBBE users. Install with NMM or extract manually and select overwrite when prompted. works flawlessly with this mod
The Replacer esp is here: babes combined.esp.
A replacer esp edited for USSEP is here
Be advised that the 3DNPC patch for BOS is broken and will cause CTDs. I fixed it. The 3DNPC replacer is Here

Thanks
I also created a patch for USMP and race records have been corrected in the USMP - Babes of Skyrim patch on the USMP patch page.
Now I can finally experience the true skyrim experience with my new pc.
Anyway, dear diary aside. This mod Much better than pandora npcs and probably the best among those npcs overhaul mod imo.

Run the CK. Open this mod's esp. Select the NPCs that are affected. Press CTRL + F4. Click yes to the Faceregen message. Profit.
