This mod has been merged into my "Small Replacers" all-in-one, check it out here to save some plugin slots. All screenshots were taken with a slightly tweaked Rudy ENB in LE.
I will no longer offer patches for these small replacers, it's simply getting too much to keep up with. I have patches available for these NPCs over on the AIO merge mod page.
Just have to say a big thank you Pandorable for all that you do. I am absolutely in love with Annekke - the package. Her face, hair, eyes are just perfect.
I read in here that it apparently uses body meshes what I have installed - however her body is PERFECT - i know of weight 20. I'm trying to use Annekke's body for Serana... how do I check which I have installed?
Thanks again for all you do... simply stunning work <3
I was wandering nexus thinking I will not install more replacers because it’s enough at this point. Then I saw this version of Annekke, and… ok I have to install another replacer. Impressive work.
If you have or had bijin's Annekke installed on your current save there will be a neck gap (seam is different, a color mismatch betwen head and body) as the bijin mod changed her weight to 100 and I used her vanilla weight which is 20. You can solve that by clicking on Annekke via the console and typing setnpcweight 20 followed by disable then enable. If you experience a neck gap with Sylgja, do the same but with 60 instead of 20.
This doesn't just go for anyone who has/had bijin specifically, but any mod that edits NPC weights.
On which character? If you have or had bijin's Annekke installed on your current save there will be a neck gap as the bijin mod changed her weight to 100 and I used her vanilla weight which is 20.

I was just about to make a post about this exact issue. I'm glad I decided to comb through these old posts first. @Pandorable, Thank you very very much for both your mods and for answering questions like this one for those of us that can get a little lost in the modding process!
This might be the wrong place to ask, but... I really like these. Sylgja is perfect and Annekke is my favourite replacer so far. However... I'd like for her to look a bit older. Sort of the direction Shield-Sisters Reimagined (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44243) takes for her.
Now my question is this: I tried to see if I could do a quick edit in CK myself. I couldn't. Which probably just shows that I don't know what I'm doing. But does anyone have suggestions for how to go about doing that?
My attempted procedure was: 1) Load the mod as active file in CK. 2) Open Annekke's actor. 3) Change skin complexion setting from "Default" to "NordfemaleForty" (or whatever its called). 4) Save the file. 5) Export facegen (Ctrl-F4).
The results were rather grim, I'm afraid (bald head, vanilla eyebrows, weird makeup).
I should reiterate that I mean no offense to the author. This is a wonderful piece of work. I'll likely end up using it even if I can't tweak it. But I wouldn't mind being able to tweak it. Any suggestions appreciated.
You should never re-export facegen of an existing NPC mod because that will just give you vanilla faces, instead any edits of this kind should be done in nifskope. Fortunately it's incredibly simple and all you need to do is change the line Actors\Character\Male\BlankDetailmap.dds to Actors\Character\Female\femaleheaddetail_age40.dds.

I want to clarify that it is not due to the clothes because even bare the neck seam is present.

And it works. Perfectly. :)
