its the correct user, but he probably deleted his account. the link they posted below is here, but yea, this mod gives 100% brown face bug, the file sizes don't look like proper 2k size
I can also confirm. Narrowed it down to here, and I'm scratching my head over it. It was affecting both genders. Sizes check out, everything's 2k. Alpha doesn't seem like a problem. Generating mipmaps for them caused the issue to go away with males, but not females. Unfortunately I don't know enough about FO4's version of the brown face bug to know why these specifically seem to be causing it.
EDIT: I think I may have just figured it out by comparing it to other mods that also change face detail textures, but I need to test it. Freckles 1 and 3 are compressed to DXT5, which is treated as BC3_UNORM. Freckles 2 is BC3_UNORM_SRGB, rather than DXT5.
EDIT 2: So it was a combination of things, I think. After beating my head against the wall a bit (Freckles 1 was also causing issues), I decided to resave them all as DXT5 with mipmapping, and now they seem to be working.
I'd definitely be willing to return if it manages to get sorted, but each file loose or BSA causes the bug, so for the time being I'll just wait and keep my eyes peeled for an update.
might be the correct size now, but wrong compression or whatever. you can notice this by the file not having a preview thumbnail like the other two files aswell. i guess ill have to download gimp myself. thanks tho
edit: gimp ended up being bullshit, couldnt even open .dds files. i resized the images with paint.NET and uploaded it on my profile.
I think that problem was with alpha channel in second freckles. I fixed it and made a screenshot of using it (with mod list). No "brown" face issue now.

Though this is probably because I use MO2. As if they see you don't use proper typepath. It'll tell you to create one.
