Skyrim's Ultimate Eye Meshes Ruhmastered v3.0
(SUEMR for short, thanks Artsick! lol)






What's new in 3.0?


Meshes:

- Totally switched over to main ENV shader instead of using previous exploit (Eye_Env Shader w/ Environment selected in shader1 instead of Eye_Env).
- Glossiness/Specular Strength were tweaked to provide more realistic reflection and compatibility with latest ENB binaries (higher gloss values reduce the size of "white orb" reflections, while lower specular strength reduces the intensity of those "white orb reflections")
- Lighting1 shader (soft lighting shader) was disabled without removing it.  Was causing a false lighting effect on eyes.
- Cubemap scale set to 1.3 (vanilla value, increasing it beyond this just causes false lighting to occur with main ENV shader)
- FIXED the broken vanilla child eye meshes, and brought them in-line with the rest of the meshes here.  This specifically won't do anything on it's own as the player can't even play as a child race normally.  It won't do anything for vanilla children either, as their eye meshes are baked into their facegens.  Intended to be a modder's resource for Child Overhauls.


No-Racemenu ECO patch:

- Brand new as of 12/22/19.  Replaces previous Racemenu version due to eye sliders being buggy and not compatible with creating RM presets.  DO NOT use with Simple Vampire Fixes file.
- Corrects/Fixes all of the headparts in No-Racemenu ECO.  Argonians have 576 combinations.  Humans/Elves/Orcs have 1024 combinations.  Khajiit have 144 combinations.  All tested to be working regardless of gender.
- Only Requires Dawnguard DLC and up to date Skyrim.
- Fixes 6 of the mistakes Bethesda made on vampire eye headparts for Orcs and Beast Races.  Corrected mesh pathing.  USLEEP only fixes the Race data for vampires so they use the correct headparts.  Using USLEEP with this patch means that all races will use all the right headparts, and those headparts will all have correct mesh pathing.  These corrections will only apply to the player for now until I can get things updated on the Vanilla NPCs Ruhmastered page.


Simple Vampire Fixes:

- Brand new as of 12/23/19.  Contains all the headpart fixes available in the No-Racemenu ECO patch here.  DO NOT use them together.
- Intended to be used by those who do not wish to use ECO, but want all the bug fixes of the patch.
- Only requires Dawnguard DLC and up to date Skyrim.



What's new in 2.0?

- With permission from NerevarineKhajiit, I created a patched esp for Eye Customization Overhaul using the meshes from here
- Using the single-eyed beast race meshes from ECO, I created single-eyed beast vampire meshes
- The esp from 1.1 was replaced with the above patch, enabling users to have well over 1000+ eye combinations
- This is actually a massive update in terms of capability despite this short list.



What's new in 1.1?

- Default vampire meshes in main file had yellow glow changed to a yellow/orange one to better match dawnguard textures.
- Optional blue vampire meshes had glow changed to be a slightly lighter blue.
- All vampire eye meshes had glow slightly reduced.
- Glowing vampire eye meshes were created for Argonians and Khajiit.
- Glowing single-eye vampire meshes were created for non-beast races.
- New "No Vampire Eye Glow" meshes were created as an optional.
- An ESP was created which allows the player to have many more color combinations during character creation.  This includes Vampire Eyes, Heterochromia, and Vampire Heterochromia (having one vampiric eye).  All races and both genders supported (No Heterochromia for Beast Races due to Mesh/Tri Limitations).  This esp also carries forward many essential USLEEP edits regarding vampire races, as well as some fixes of my own.  The esp requires updated Skyrim + Dawnguard DLC.

Strongly Recommended Mods:

(the darker version is recommended if you think there is too much reflection)

AND

- Eye Normal Map Fix https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54416/  by Mr. Dave

OR

Installation: (For ECO Patch)

1.)  Download and Install Eye Customization Overhaul, install the version that DOESN'T require RaceMenu.

2.)  Download and Install the main files from here.  Allow SUEMR Eye Meshes/Patch to overwrite everything from ECO.  Then you can begin installing optionals over the main files if desired.

3.)  Download and install Ruhmastered meshes from Artsick's Eyes AO Clipping Fix, allow them to overwrite SUEMR meshes.


It's highly recommended to use a mod manager for install, as ECO uses a FOMOD installer.  I personally recommend the latest version of Nexus Mod Manager.

If using Fair Skin Complexion by HHaleyy, and you select the eye option:  Allow my meshes to overwrite.  You'll have FSC eye textures + Ultimate Eye Meshes that way.  It's important to note that Fair Skin only covers the human textures.

Pick a good mod for vanilla eye diffuse texture replacement, but do not overwrite the meshes from this mod.



Note from Author:

I made this mod because it seems like every modder has had an answer to eye fixes, but would only apply them to certain meshes and in varying ways.  The aim of this is to streamline all of these fixes into one package, giving the downloader meshes that can really help show off those textures!  To clarify, this mod contains no textures, only meshes and an esp.

Want all the benefits of this mod and more applied to all vanilla NPC's in the game?  Visit Vanilla NPCs LE Ruhmastered



Protip for Follower Creators:

Want your follower to have these same fixes?  No problem.  Export the facegen with these meshes installed.
You'll require the Racemenu preset for the follower if they were specifically made with Racemenu.
