Notes
You should be using a mod manager to do all of this, I use Mod Organizer 2.
Make sure all of your face textures match up in size, don't mix 1k and 2k textures or you get the brown face bug!
If the preset has a black neck it means you have the Cotap textures in the wrong folder.
This preset does not use Asian face enhanced but will work fine with it installed.
If you have questions or problems I'll try to help.
Requires
Looksmenu - Needed or preset won't work
Looks Menu Customization Compendium - Cotap relies on it
Extended Facial Sculpting - Needed for shaping the face
Think of these 3 as 1 mod its just separated into 3 downloads
CoTaP - Stand Alone - Needed for face overlays and brows. Make sure and download the main file and the eyebrow support version.
Cotap original - Needed for the textures
Cotap Specular fix - Needed to avoid black face bug with the normal size face textures 1k
Optional
Unfair Skin - skin and makeup (you can sub in other textures I just use this for the base)
Kim Hairstyle - hair style shown in screenshots
Toothpick Stretching Mouth Bug Fix- Only if you have the mouth mesh stretching bug. Make sure you install the correct version for your mod set up.
Extra Optional - mods not needed but used in screenshots
HiPoly Faces - used in first screenshot
Pure Opulence - Used in first screenshots
Vtaw 9 - Outfit used named "Natalya"
Quantum Horizons ENB - Used in screenshots

Texture Install for Cotap Stand Alone
If my instructions aren't good enough ELPaTRaN has some nice videos on how to install here
1. Install Unfair Skin first. Choose Vanilla, yes to K makeup, and yes to eyes.
If you are using a 2k face set up you can download a packed version here
2. This is for installing the 1k version. If using the 2k version get those files here they already include the specular fix.
a. Download and install CoTaP - Stand Alone I like the LMCC Version.
b. Download original Cotap mod and only install the textures no esps. Copy and paste the the folders named Actors and DLC03
from CotaP Original into the Cotap standalone texture folder named CoTaP.
There is a text file in the folder that says "Place actors and DLC03 here".
c. Now install install Cotap Specular fix over top of those textures to avoid possible black face bug.
This will only apply to your character so you can use loose files since the stutter comes from loading face textures on
npcs. If it happens to cause stutter in your game pack the textures.
3. I suggest packing any loose files into the Ba2 use these guides Guide 1 Guide 2
The packing order is less an issue since the Stand alone CotaP doesn't overwrite anything.
Once textures are packed you can disable the loose files in mod organizer. This is done to avoid game stutter.
