Black face when using custom textures.

[FineMonkey]

So, I am aware of the black face glitch when using the hd textures, but this is not my problem. I completed the game without any problems of the sorts.

A couple of days ago, I downloaded mods. All is fine, except when I download a face texture that varies from the vanilla. I'm using cbbe and oni's textures, but those aren't the problem. I tried reinstalling fallout 4 and adding only valkyr's textures and still had a black face with no eyebrows and I wasn't able to change any features even without mods. However, when I download the 2k version of the vanilla textures, it worked fine.

I think it may have something to do with missing facegen files. I downloaded 4 different face mods, tried adding the textures in it's own .ba2, tried adding it to the game's .ba2's, tried removing de hd textures dlc and searched for hours, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry, I failed to explain my problem correctly. I don't have anything against darker skinned people, it's just what the bug is known as. Anyways, the problem is, that her face is black, while the rest of her body is white. Additionally, she is missing eyebrows and I can't change any facial features except for her hair. Loading a preset, reloading the save or trying to chance it all fail. While i could techincally make my character a browner shade, all the npcs would still be broken.

naw, the topic title says it all. "Black face when using custom textures". why are you making custom textures that make characters black? do you have a problem with any other face color? are you trying to make this into "Tyler Perry's Fallout"? or maybe you just want to kill black faced marauders? you're one sick mofo.

Have you tried this mod? I had Asimilar issue, and this fixed it.

Sadly, I have indeed tried it, but since my problem is not the hd dlc, but any textures, that change those textures. When I download a texture mod, it overwrites the fix.

When I get home, i'll send a screenshot of my problem.

If you make clean install of FO4 make sure there aren't any loose mod files in the data folder.

All face textures have to be in the same resolution. Otherwise this bug happens.
Vanilla textures are 1k if i remember correctly.

Mods that should work together are Looksmenu, Real HD faces (textures are 2k)
and Looksmenu customization compendum with it's optional 2k patch.
Don't know about other face mods.

Also the game will downscale any face textures to vanilla size. You need F4se to force the game to load the textures in their full resolution.

Also if you have loose textures in the data folder they will always overwrite any BA2 textures.
