Vampire Black Face 1.5.97 (Mod Organizer)

[Lin de Alger Obelia]

Hello, recently I had a problem with the face of the vampires, which had turned black.

I found a rather banal solution, which consists in using the command "setnpcweight 35" which makes it possible to restore the skin but it is necessary to put back the command each time, do you have an idea of ​​a potential fix?

Thanks, have a good day

That's my modlist.

I don`t know all mods in your list, but is there maybe a combat overhaul there that edits vamp npcs? If so and it has bsa files, unpacking the npcs facegen from the bsa as loose files might help, or so Ive heard. Better vampires is not the culprit cause it only affects player...
But...I have a feeling that I had the same problem in Oldrim long ago, before I had any mods that edit vamps.
Downloading a vampire looks mod might help. These are on Nexus: Better Vampire NPCs by Brehanin (Better vamps author) makes vampires also tougher/more interesting combatants. Then there is the Cosmetic Vampire Overhaul, only touches their looks, I use both with cosmetic overhaul loaded last.
Hope you find a fix, happy gaming :)!

can only give general solutions since I don't have any idea of what NPC mods you may be using.
black face is caused by a mismatch of Meshes.

Well, I got BetterVampire, JH NPC, SG Hair, Eyes of Beauty, SG Eyes brows these 5 mods can possibly transform the facegen, (the vampire got SG hair)

If it were me, I'd suspect the SG Eyebrows. I don't use it myself, but my other vampire related mods are similar to yours (and I don't have a black face problem).

I use (just a listing, not a load order):
Cosmetic Vampire Overhaul, Option C
Better Vampires, No Appearance Change Option
Patch for CVO & BV
Eyes of Beauty, Player
Eyes of Beauty, NPC
Apachii Hair Male & Female

Hello !

I'm not sure if my message will be useful, since I'm not sure of what made it work for me, and also because it was not the exact same problem I solved. But maybe it'll give you some ideas for yours :
I got the black face problem with Serana (and I'm using Seranaholic mod), and she was not having the proper face model according to my mods. So I used this technique found on Seranaholic mod page :
(1) "If none of the above helps and you had already encountered Serana before installing this mod or had a different visual overhaul for her, her facegen data is baked into your savegame, which can also lead to the black face bug. Follow these simple steps to solve this: Download and unpack Fallrim Tools (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5031), Open ReSave.exe, load your savegame, search for "002b6c" (her baseID). Then go to ChangeForms -> NPC, delete it and save. This regenerates her new facegen data the next time you load this save and should update her appearance and fix the black face bug. (Credit goes to LaViel for finding this solution for SSE, give him a kudos if it worked for you!)"

SO maybe by searching the ID of the broken NPC (with console command) and deleting them in Fallrim Tools will fix the dark face problem. Be sure to reload the good save file tho (Fallrim create a backup by himself, so no worries about breaking your game with it)

AND (2) I also re-installed Seranaholic and messed up a lot with the position of the mods in MO (putting the esp above others NPC overhauls, and texture, testing, then putting it below...) Now it works with the esp of Seranaholic at the very end of my load order. Maybe try putting Better Vampires at the very end too...? I have dark faces on vampires too, but I do not use this mod.

To be honest, I think part (2) was the right solution. I think the "larger" mods (CBBE, Eyes replacers, Face textures...) should be higher in priority and "smaller" ones (NPC replacers, Bijin...) should be lower. I do also have vampires with dark faces, but I don't really care. I'll be sure to post something here if I manage to fix that, by pure luck.

May your roads lead you to warm sands !

is that a Loot sorted mod load order? Your Skeleton and your hair mod seem too high up in the load order at first glance.
