Elven Face-Body Textures Mismatch

[LearnPolish]

Like in the topic. I have problem with textures mismatch, but only for elves.

 

I'm using:

UNPB Body

SG body textures

Ethereal Elven Overhaul

Inhabitants of skyrim(I think that there is the problem, installed it and every modified elven female looks like on screens. Don't want to uninstall cause it' awesome mod  

 

Installed CBBE for face textures, and it helped with elven faces, but messed up human faces and body textures at all.

 

PLS HELP! 

 

Cheers!

Elven Overhaul includes new Face textures and normal maps for the different Elven races.

This is conflicting with the SG texture package.

If I'm not mistaken the SG package also includes face textures for the Eleven races that work like the Overhaul, but match up texture wise with the rest of SG Renewal (mainly the normal map aka _msn.dds file).

 

Worst case scenario use the Face Normal Maps (femalehead_msn.dds) from the Overhaul with the Diffuse maps (femalehead.dds) from SG...

 

Kinda hard to use the normal maps from Eternal Elven Overhaul with SG skin set as EEO places the textures into a different path compared to SG.

 

EEO places the normal maps for the DarkElf, HighElf, WoodElf, and there Tintmasks into the folder Textures\Actors\Character\Ethereal\ ... Where they normally are one level up in just the Textures\Actors\Character\ location.

 

I haven't run EEO in a long time (cause I actually like my elves without the blocky forehead that EEO and Default normal maps give them).... Last version I downloaded was Ethereal Elven Overhaul-24273-1-1-1.zip (dated 6/20/2014 when I downloaded it).... Haven't used that in forever.

 

Then again the SG texture pack I have was pulled on 6/5/2014 and does not include normal maps for the female elves... probably why I switched over to fair skin (as it does include head normal maps for all races).

 

I'ld say google search and see what people on average use normal map wise for elves and the SG texture package...

 

Edit: Normal maps from old EEO are used for elven races (Optional Download off of SG's Nexus page).

Hmmm...

 

 

Hmmm you may also be seeing an issue with the tent masks that come with the npc hair replacer you are using (looks like you have Apache Sky Hair for npc's installed).... Look for fix's that work with both the normal maps you need and the npc overhaul you are using.

Dont use CBBE with UNPB.

 

What BringtheNoise said is true.

 

Also Inhabitants of skyrim says this in their description page:

 

Inhabitants of Skyrim will conflict with other mods that are changing the same NPCs in any way. This means that it will conflict with mods that are changing the stats, clothes, scripts etc. If IoS is loaded before another mod that changes the same NPCs they will most likely revert to their vanilla look. Try to find which mod is changing the NPCs and load Inhabitants of Skyrim after.

Gonna tinker with that IOS mod (been using the skyhairnpc mod for a while). I can just disable the other mod in MO and  turn the IOS on and fire up a new game and see whats up.... should be fun.

 

Oh if you want the elves to not have the blocky eyebrows, you can get a copy of fair skin and use the msn files from that (If you do then I suggest using all of the msn's, head, body, hands). They have a better face normal map compared to EEO (tis prettty faces in the Fair skin set). Then use the SG body textures and see what that looks like.... may work, may screw up and fry your video card (well probably not, but you never know when you mix mods)....
