I saw a forum thread comment somewhere about another mod also involving RaceMenu that suggested such things for RaceMenu require a dummy ESP or they don't work. I can't vouch for this, just something I saw someone say. I would certainly wonder at the reason and wonder further why there's no workaround for it, given everything that can be done with SKSE and SkyUI and so on.
RaceMenu requires an plugin to load extra RaceMenu morphs and give translations to them. This can be easily seen from the folder structure: meshes -> actors -> character -> character assets -> facegenmorphs -> Expressive Facegen Morphs.espand ?interface -> translations -> Expressive Facegen Morphs_<language>.txt
Without plugin, only thing Niroku would be able to do is edit existing .tris.
The screenshots look really good, and I think you could make some really nice looking characters using this mod, but it's a shame that it's incompatible with most presets on the Nexus. I only found four presets that mentioned this mod in their description. It's quite the dealbreaker.
It is not, if you want to use a preset non made by this mod, just disable this mod and you're done. This mod is Excellent (And I really mean it) to create "new" characters, surpasses by far the polygon crazyness of the original Racemenu.
Disabling the mod is a solution for the player character. However, you can't use this mod with a mod that changes the appearance of NPCs without messing up their faces.
Each NPC uses its own unique head mesh, which is not morphed in real time, so it is basically unaffected by mods. EFM has files for existing presets as well as for new presets and can be used with many presets using vanilla head mesh. You can easily switch by enabling either one.
Mod looks fantastic - great work. I'm apprehensive about installing the main version though... what exactly happens to my current face when I install? and how do I make a backup for my face if the presets are not compatible?
To back up a preset, just save it with the preset function of Racemenu. If you load it after uninstalling EFM, it will be restored. A preset is a record of slider values and sculpt values. The EFM main file replaces the file referenced by the slider, so the same preset will produce different results. Therefore, the face will collapse after installation, so you will need to adjust the slider. If you are using sculpting, you also need to reset the sculpting. You can reset it with the Z key, but the one selected in the check box at the right end of the head part window will be reset, so select it as necessary.
