What other mods do you have installed? These models are matched to the textures included in the Unofficial Patch. If the textures were missing, you'd get a black-and-purple square texture. If they're invisible, I assume a mod changed them on purpose.
Ah, I see you commented on HD Overhaul too. I suspected that was the cause. (I don't use HD Overhaul, but I happen to have heard it changes the hands like this).
Deleting the "hands" folder won't be enough. the UP changes and adds textures. Here's how to get the textures from the UP.
1. Install the Unofficial Patch Plus. 2. Move the "Unofficial_Patch\materials\models\hands\" folder somewhere else. 3. Install HD Overhaul. 4. Move the "Unofficial_Patch\materials\models\hands\" folder back, overwriting files when prompted.
Vanilla uses only the Shared and Nosferatu hands. They'll work if you install this to the "Vampire" folder instead of the "Unofficial Patch" folder, but these hands use edited textures that come with the Unofficial Patch. You'll need to get the UP from here or MODDB, install it somewhere, then copy everything from "Unofficial_Patch\materials\models\hands" to ""Vampire\materials\models\hands"".
Turns out Wesp5 only uploads the final version of an UP version to NexusMods. You can get the latest version of UP 11.5 on MODDB.
The Unofficial Patch comes with a mod loader that will let you launch the Vanilla game. This should work - Install the UP, then install my Overhauled hands. Copy "materials\models\hands" and "models\hands" from the "Unofficial Patch" folder to the "Vampire" folder. Launch VTMB through the Mod Loader, picking "Vampire" as the mod to use. That should give you the Vanilla game with my updated hands.
That's up to you. May help you to know most of these have almost the same UV map. Only the fingertips and nails differ between male, female and Nosferatu. It's the female Gangrel arm, female Toreador arm and thumb, and female Tremere middle finger where I edited the UV map to line up the details between the top and bottom textures.

Now i'm inspired to update Player Hands Improved, to fit these better.

I hope Wesp5 will see it and include it in the Unofficial Patch+.
I'd be flattered if he wants to do that, although that would largely invalidate me uploading it here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
