Is it just me, or are these the most realistic and pleasing faces on the nexus? Will there be a Vanilla hair remake version (HDT SMP) in the future, or can we not wait?
Hello, it really changes the feeling ingame not to have perfect people everywhere, i was sticking with vanilla mostly because of that, now we have something believable, thanks to you.
I noticed 2 things that maybe you missed, I post it here since it's not a bug. I don't use enb.
A few npcs in whiterun have accentuated shadows that makes them look like some kind of warpaint. On the reach version I didn't notice that.
And Adrianna doesn't have the hairs from the photos you posted, it looks like a small head on a body to big for her with these flat hairs. I noticed Fralia has a small head too, I thought of Beetlejuice shrunken head as soon as I saw her, or maybe it's the body I use that messes the proportions.
Hello! I'm sure this has been answered already, but I keep having this brown face bug with Heimskr. Everyone else is perfectly fine, except him. The only mod I have altering him is "Shut Up Heimskr", but that only makes his voice not play. Any ideas why he is the only one messed up?
This is because the "shut up heimskr" mod conflicts with mine - and any NPC replacer - without a patch.
The good news is, it took me about 5 seconds to make a patch for it which I've uploaded under optional files. I haven't tested it so if you're willing to do so and let me know if it works, that would be super. Like most patches, load it after Shut up Heimskr and NITHI Whiterun. I hope it works :)
Installed this mod. All faces work. But, in the existing preservation, in Whiteran, two grandmothers walked around the city naked. Freilia and Olava. Thanks to this, I noticed a seam on Olava's neck. And so, I would like to ask, why do mods for changing the faces of characters include files for changing bodies? I suspect that this is why the seam on the neck appeared. However, in the new game, grandmothers have clothes.
When installing on an existing save, sometimes NPCs will initially appear naked. It does not always happen, but it can. This can be fixed by opening console, selecting the NPC and using the command "resetinventory"
For the neck seam/gap, it is possible that this is also because of an existing save. If you ever had another NPC overhaul installed which changes the body size of NPCs, then install a different NPC overhaul, this can cause a neck seam.
My NPCs use the vanilla body weight values about 95% of the time, I do not want to change the body size because it causes so many problems.
I think the only way to fix this is to uninstall NPC mods, run a new game to reset the characters, then reinstall the mods.
I will try your advice with clothes. After all, later I discovered that Nyada even in the new game runs naked in Yorvaskra. But I don't know about the seam. I'm actually using another NPC mod as a base. But he also only changes the face. And I noticed a seam only in one grandmother in Whiteran.
Actually you may be able to do this very simply yourself for many NPCs, since I didn't change the .esp.
If you download the last version before 3.0 and find Irileth's head mesh, copy that. Then extract the BSA using a program called BAE (here on nexus), and find the matching hair texture (you might also need nifskope to see the texture which I used - I don't remember from the top of my head)
Make a folder with this path inside: data > meshes > actors > character > facegendata > facegeom > skyrim.esm > PLACE HEAD MESH HERE Then another folder with this path: data > textures > nithi whiterun > hair > PLACE HAIR TEXTURES HERE
Then zip the folder and install it like a normal mod, load it after v.3.0
This should replace her head. I don't think I changed her skin color, but if I did, you may need to edit that in CK or xEdit
It's very real, I really like it! May I ask if there will be a final collection (All in one)? I look forward to starting a new game when everything is ready
Hey Nightmarezone, this update looks incredible! I love the variety! I was wondering, specifically what BNP options do you use for these screenshots? Do you use the RSV version, or your own choices of the default textures? I'd love to know! Thank you for sharing your great work!!
So for these screenshots in particular, I was using an older version of BnP (1.7 or 1.8 perhaps?) with RBT installed. I think I picked the older option for men. For the female NPCs, my mod adds a variety of normal maps for the faces and bodies, so anyone who doesn't use RSV will still get the feel of variety.
But for RSV users, RSV SPID will override the normal maps that I've added. I think the only way to avoid this is to not use RSV - but the faces still look great with RSV, especially with the latest version of BnP :)
If you get nifskope, you can change the hair colors to your liking (it takes a little tinkering to get it just right). Open the headmesh, double click on the head part, then select lighting. ın the box below, right at the bottom there is a color wheel. Click that and adjust the color. Do the same with the beard. And voila :)
I will do Sovngarde eventually, when I get to it. Struggling to put a lot of time into it at the moment but its chugging along slowly.
I'll check that it's okay on my end. I didn't change much on them aside from mesh tweaks (frailia, i didnt actually change lillith maidenloom). Are the other elder women fine? Are there any patches installed from other nexus users? Could anything be making changes to these NPCs (even mods or patches that change any NPC records can cause conflicts, even if the change is to stats rather than appearance)
If it is/is not on my end (i will write a reply to this), the best way to "reset" characters/the game in general is to open a blank mod profile with Vortex or MO2. Open skyrim, run a new game, use the console to spawn in the offending NPCs to check they are vanilla again, then go back go to your usual modded profile/save.

If you can provide a screenshot I can give more info on diagnosing the issue
