Thought I'd offer some wisdom to those in need - I was one earlier.
If you're using this preset in 2024 (good on ya lad), you might find that LMCC (Looks Menu Custom Compendium) isn't working quite as it should, it isn't providing the remaining bits to acheive Ava's look. Here is the solution - or AN solution, if like me you don't use mods that change the appearence of NPCs.
LMCC, for some reason, must now be loaded at the bottom of your chosen manager - I use Vortex for simplicities sake.
To get LMCC to work as intended, you must assign it as 'dynamic patches' through the plugin tab, then click the 'sort' button.
This has worked for me and hopefully it will for you.
You may want to double check in xEdit for conflicts with LMCC, anything that edits humanrace will conflict with it, that's why it exists in the first place, bc all the individual mods it contains would conflict with each other if loaded separately. Putting LMCC at the bottom of your LO probably means it's now winning the conflict against whatever was overriding it when it was further up on your list, which would mean whatever else it was conflicting with is now no longer working.
From what I saw, there wasn't any real conflict going on, I spent about an hour or so titting about with load order, checking and double checking everything was active and running - it was - so in the end I just put it down to 'Bethesda magic' being at work, as I don't use anything that edits the appearence of NPCs nor their behaviour, so upon being perplexed I made the previous deduction.
Thus far in the 45 minutes of game time on this save (the one I use this on, a new save) I've not noticed anything missing or being jankie as yet, but obviously time will tell if I have missed something, if I have I will make another reply for the knowledge pool the best I can.
Forgot to mention, the method I used was found on the comment section of another mod - I can't recall which - but it was for a nigh on similar issue where certain parts of LMCC weren't present until being assigned as dynamic patches.
I don't wanna double post, but i figured a new problem, for some reason,for me she doesn't have those eyebrows, they look different for me like those "thin rounded" ones and she miss those marks near her mouth and those on the nose, do you know what i did wrong ? i would post a screenshot but i do not know how, i didn't notice it earlier, it is like the eyebrows a very thin, like noras standart one the face is bit thicker and she misses those freckles, her skin color is dif for me since i use an EB i know that but the rest seems very different. I used mod organizer to download, could it be that? maybe have to put manually? i noticed that almost every preset look wierd for me, like the comment i did earlier i thought this would be the first one working completly fine right one, funny enough i do not think i even have the eyebrows she has in on the pics, but all kind of others LMCC provides... it is so wierd
I uploaded a screenshot on imgur this is how she looks for me: https://imgur.com/VlMtMZb :(
Yeah lightning is bright early on on that ENB but she basicly is missing everything on her skin and yeah the eyebrow and details..
Yeah, you have something conflicting with LMCC or for some other reason it's not working properly. If you have anything else that provides the same sort of facial features as LMCC loaded after it, they will conflict and whichever is loaded last will be the only one that actually works. If you want to post your LO on Pastebin and link it I can take a look and see if I recognize anything that I know will conflict.
Sure, i just began playing fallout 4 yesterday again and downloaded all mods yesterday, i really don't know what it is because at the moment i downloaded the preset the only mods i had was wich are recommended/f4se https://pastebin.com/FZTBnUWd here is my mod list i thought it was maybe because of rusty face fix, but even when i turn it off, it is still there:/ also just to make sure on the deluxe makeup, i downloaded the eyeliner version on top or should i install the lip liner one?
Edit: i have never done anything on pastebin i hope this is okay
Yes, you should get both the lip and eye files from deLuxe Makeup. As for the conflict, I'm fairly certain that Unique NPCs conflicts with LMCC, since it adds tons of features for the faces it generates, so I'd try it without that.
1 little question more tho xD i used the rachel preset you link down there on my other comment, now the part of her hands are black do you know why? i do not get any help on bodyslider comment section how can i fix it?

Here 2 screenshots look like all the meshes are broken or something
It just happened after bodyslide:(
When i turn off ida skin paler version, it looks on the hands bit more normal but the upper hand has like a dif skin than the inside of the hand? bit confusing:/
Looks like mismatched body and body texture. Are you using CBBE? Because Ida body is made for CBBE body only, it won't fit properly on the vanilla body or other body mods. If you're not using a body mod then use the Valkyr body which also matches Valkyr face but is made for vanilla body instead of CBBE.
Yeah i do use cbbe, you did send me a body slide preset below "rachel body preset" it happened after i put that on, i had to reinstall cbbe and ida body, now its fine again i do not know why that happened...
Hey quick question again, with eli's junkyard wich one do i install? there are so many files and none of them really tell beside the raider one where the clothing/accessories are i see only basement lightning and elis character preset etc? and i assume the black top and military camo jeans are inside elis clothing mod too the junkyard one? or am i wrong?
Hi, so i really really love this preset but i get the brown face glitch... i know that you can not mix, but i have the HD dlc is there anyway to still get this preset to work without brown face? :( sice most recommended mods dont have hd on? eccept valkyrie face
Hey, first of all, congratulations for such a perfect preset ! Probably the most gorgeous one I've seen in all my years of playing modded Bethesda games.
Now, I'm having a few small issues with it, and I don't really understand them : - Eyebrows are radically different. (note that I was using THbrows before but have previously disabled it) - Makeup is a bit different on the mouth, and even more different on the eyes, especially under them. - The face texture that looks like freckles/dirt, especially around the nose and eyes, is either missing or very faint, I can't tell. - The moles are not as uh, opaque ? and the mouth one is missing entirely for some obscure reason.
Here's my screenshot https://i.imgur.com/AkVzNIq.jpeg Here's one from another post that I used to compare https://i.imgur.com/QVBtDCM.png
I opened both and would click back and forth between the tabs to compare them, so I could easily notice the differences. I will continue searching and will update this message if I manage to find any fix
EDIT : Lol nevermind, I just realized that LMCC and LM were 2 different things, installed LMCC and it fixed everything.
Looks like everything that is missing or wrong is from LMCC, are you sure you installed it correctly and that nothing is conflicting with it? Anything else that adds the same sort of extra features will conflict with it, like brows, moles, freckles, etc, unless they are just racemenu overlays and not actual face parts.
Yeah I literally forgot to install it because I had already installed LM a long time ago and didn't realize LMCC was a different mod. Big thanks for the continuous support on this mod though ! And for the mod itself, again, it's amazing <3
Read the troubleshooting section. Either you have something conflicting with LMCC or conflicting skin/facial feature textures running. If you don't have the HD DLC on or anything that edits the same records as LMCC, you need to make sure all your face skin or face feature mods are ALL vanilla resolution or ALL HD, you can't mix and match.
I downloaded this preset not only because it looks legit, but because Ukraine is not my motherland. But the soldiers who reside are my brothers. Long live freedom.

I have all the required mods as specified in the description, yet it isn't working for me.
