I have a problem where if I quit the game and come back, the colors just seemingly vanish and I am left with an entirely plain skin-tone face. It will reset if I showracemenu and click the age slider again but that is also moderately altering my face every single time and it's starting to just not be the character I originally made. As well as just being annoying to do that every time I want to play my arg.
I am using OCO2 and BAF but nothing else I have would change argonians.
How odd. I tried my best to replicate the bug you're getting, but I couldn't get the same result. My Argonians all have their correct faces. I even tried tweaking them in RaceMenu a few times, saving in different ways, but nothing. The only reason I can think for this is that something must be resetting your character's age to the minimum. Do you have vampire mods installed? Some vampire bugfix/aesthetic mods change the vampire script to de-age instead of age your character.
I actually finally figured out the problem. Something with the way New Eyes For OCO v2 changes the eyes makes them de-age. Uninstalled that and it works totally fine now. :)
Vanilla Argonians age maps can only be green (females) or blue (males), and only have 5 possible facial patterns each. This mod gives each gender the full ROYGBIV spectrum and raises the possible scale patterns to 50 each. So it's useful if you want some variety in making your PC Argonian. It also helps a lot for telling NPCs apart at a glance, because they have more color variety.
This mod doesn't touch the skin textures, which do have a bit of color in them. This is just for the facial markings. Your individual skin textures might change your Argonian appearance a little.
