Vanilla NPCs LE Ruhmastered by Ruhadre

v2.1

The screenshots provided are 100% un-modded Skyrim aside from USLEEP and my facegens.  When the only realistic looking part on the faces are the eyes with stock textures...that should be telling you something!

Description:

Overhauls 3,024 Vanilla Skyrim and DLC facegens to incorporate Ultimate Eye Meshes Ruhmastered, Eyes AO Clipping Fix, ENB Eyebrow Fix for Oldrim, BVFE - Better Vampire Fangs and Eyes, Double Sided Vertex Human Mouth Fix, and Expressive Facial Animation
Also carries forward any changes made to facegens by Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch
Optional Patch to make Argonian and Khajiit NPCs have a faint glow.
Optional Patches to give Vampire NPCs glow choices.
This does NOTHING for the player character or your vampire form, only NPCs.  Go to Ultimate Eye Meshes page for eye meshes for player.
Makes Invisibility Eye Glitch obsolete with Ultimate Eye Meshes + Eyes AO Clipping Fix also installed.  No extra script is needed if every facegen in the game is already immune.

v2.1 - Deleted facegen 000b289e due to bug reports
v2.0 - Brought eye fixes up to SUEMR 3.0/Eyes AO Clipping Fix 1.3.  Incorporated new mouth meshes.  Included BVFE fangs into main file.
v2.0 - NEW Misc Files for EFA


Practical Usage:

The purpose of this mod is NOT to be an NPC Overhaul like WICO.  But rather, think of it as a baseline improvement that you can install on top of.
For instance, say you want to use all the Bijin mods and SNNR together.  Sure, alot of NPCs are replaced, but hardly all.  This just fills in the gaps.

However, if you are using Expressive Facial Animation, then you NEED the MISC files here in order for NPCs to use EFA's tris effectively.  All the bug reports point to one thing...NPCs with vanilla teeth in their facegens attempting to use the tris ment for a different mesh.  Solution:  Apply EFA teeth to all NPC facgens

In short, if you want to use Female Facial Animation by nao4288, DO NOT USE the MISC files.

If you want to use Expressive Facial Animation by Niroku, YOU MUST USE the MISC files.



Installation:

1.)  Install Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.  You absolutely MUST have USLEEP installed.  Seriously.  No exceptions.
Next, Install the main file from here.

2.)  If you want to use the optional Beast Race Glow file, install it after the main file here and allow it to overwrite.

3.)  If you want to use one of the optional Vampire files, install it after the main file here and allow it to overwrite.
*If installing with BVFE:  Allow these facegens to overwrite BVFE's.

4.)  If you want to use the Misc Files for EFA, install the "Main" Misc file

5.)  (Optional) Then install your optional vampire glow of choice over "Main" Misc file

Now you may begin installing your NPC replacer mods of choice over top of the facegens here.

*As part of the "Ruhmastered" series of mods, several NPC replacer mods have already been upgraded to be on par with the facegens here.
100% compatible with all texture replacers!


Recommendations:

Highly recommended to also install Ultimate Eye Meshes, Eyes AO Clipping Fix, ENB Eyebrow Fix for Oldrim, Double Sided Vertex Human Mouth Fix, and BVFE so the player has all the same improvements as NPCs here.
*Allow Ultimate Eye Meshes to overwrite BVFE's eye meshes (Ultimate Eye Meshes has all the same fixes, options, and more)


Important:

BVFE tris were made for vanilla meshes.  They need a patch to work 100% correctly with EFA teeth.  Having vampire fangs for females and non-glitchy facial animations is a good trade off in my book.  BVFE tris do calm down male fangs though, so they have to be an improvement from vanilla.  If you notice a slight misalignment in fangs, this is why.
