Any chance to make (or point the direction) of a tutorial for this installation? I never used most of the mods that this preset needs (Himbo, files that are in BAIN format, Body slide and High poly) and after what i Tough was a right, my character looked VERY differente from the picture...
So you will need to at least use Expressive FaceGen Morphs and High Poly Head (which comes with a patch for EFM in the installer) to get his facial structure looking like it does in the pictures. Without those, he'll look completely different. He will technically function without Eyes Mod 2 and Bald Head, but he uses standalone assets from those mods' ESPs, so that's why they're listed as requirements. If you don't want to use Eyes Mod 2 and Bald Head, you can just switch his eyes and hair out for whatever you'd like. As long as you have EFM and HPH, you can just load his preset file (JSLOT) without any problems.
If you don't want to use Expressive FaceGen Morphs, you can install the sculpt files, which come with a NIF and DDS file that you can load in the Sculpt tab in RaceMenu after you load his preset. You'll still need to have HPH installed for this (and probably Eyes Mod 2, since his sculpt has the custom eyelash mesh from that mod baked in and needs compatible textures).
Thank you for the fast reply. I actually downloaded everything that the mod asked and recommended, so it can only be a mistake in my end that i can't for the love of god figure out.
I will try again to see if some patch for some reason did not load or something.
Does load order matter for this files? EDIT: Regarding BAIN files, many of those has options with sufix such such 00, 01 etc. I assumed I could/should select at least one option of every number. Is that right?
Also I use 1.640... would that be a problem as well? Sorry for that many questions... but I want my handsome bald!!
I have EFM and Expressive Facial Animations (EFA) loaded before HPH so maybe try that if you haven't already? If you're using MO2, in the left panel, you'll have EFM first, then EFA, then finally HPH below those. In the right panel, you'll want to load the ESL for EFM first, followed by the ESM for HPH. Definitely double-check that you installed the patches for EFM and EFA that are included with the HPH installer as well.
For the rest of the mods, you can load them in any order. I have them loaded after EFM and HPH.
With the BAIN installer for Eyes Mod 2, you can just select 0. Base SE and 1. Compressed [512p/1K/2K]. 0 and 1 are all you need to check off in this case and everything else in the installer is optional.
You should be able to use him in any version of Skyrim without any problems. If this doesn't work and he still looks very different, would you mind uploading a screenshot of him through Imgur or something and sharing it?
Thanks! I definitely used Henry as a bit of inspiration, but he didn’t translate very well into Skyrim’s head mesh, given the limitations and all. I think I somewhat got his jawline haha. Honestly, I’m still not fully satisfied with how this preset turned out, but I’m glad you could see a bit of him in Nico!

Thank you! I’ve seen your fantastic work, so that means a lot coming from you <3
And seriously, Khis is soooo insanely talented. She’s spoiled me to the point where I refuse to use almost anything for characters that isn’t by her haha. She’s absolutely impeccable with texture work and it breathes so much life into the characters.

I hope this helps! :)

I hope you can get him up and running :)
