Bijin NPCs issue

[Swick829]

Hello all

Right off the bat, I apologize if this issue has been discussed somewhere. I know some would say you should look it up, etc etc, but I have just spent the past hour and a half or two looking for answer and my brain is probably literally fried from info overload... and I still haven't found the answer, so forgive me.

I'm fairly noob with the mods and the more technical details, but thanks NMM and LOOT, for the most part I've managed. Until Bijin NPCs.. and maybe Warmaidens, too. I'm not sure on that one yet. As an example, Gerdur is in her clothes.. body invisible except for odd neon purplish bits and her teeth and eyes showing. I haven't checked any other NPCs out there but I'm starting right here with this one, assuming if she's bad, the rest are. I'm pasting my load order down below, hoping someone will see something I missed. I'm almost sure it's some simple thing that my noob self couldn't comprehend. I appreciate your time/help ahead of time.

Sounds like missing assets if meshes are invisible and the textures are purple. Did you install via an organiser or by hand? If another mod overwrites the Bijin updates, they should still have defalt meshes and textures, even if they do have ugly grey face. My advice would be to un-install/re-install.

For reference (if you're not using the bsa version), the body meshes should be located:
...\Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\Bijin Warmaidens
...\Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\Bijin NPCs

And the textures (a folder for each texture set):
...\Skyrim\Data\textures\Actors\character\Bijin Warmaidens 00
...\Skyrim\Data\textures\Actors\character\Bijin Warmaidens 01
...\Skyrim\Data\textures\Actors\character\Bijin Warmaidens 02
...\Skyrim\Data\textures\actors\character\Bijin NPCs

And of course, there'll be the facegendata for each NPC (head mesh and facetint), but I'll leave them for now coz there's loads of them for Bijin - one for each NPC.

Ideally, as it could be an issue, have Bijin esps as late as you can in the load order.

There's also an "all in one" patch if you load them all that lets you use one ESP for all of them with all of the current patches in place. It seems to work realy well ... I have had a body vanish during an animation only to re-appear a few moments later but that's about it.

Bijins mods need to be install last so nothing over writes them. In NMM right on the mods affected and choice re-install mod, that should fix your issue. Be sure to re-run LOOT. If you ever add more mods and they want to over write a Bijin mod, it is best to select No To Mod. There is a body slide mod for some of his work that works pretty good using showracemenu ingame to tweak npcs a little.

Thank you all. I'll start with what you said and get back to you shortly.

I went looking for those textures and every single folder you listed is empty. I uninstalled/reinstalled, ran LOOT.. doesn't seem to have helped. I notice the texture folders are still empty.

Are you installing the bsa version or the loose files version?

I also have an issue with an Bijin mod, Warmaidens to be spesific. Most of the time, when I'm closing in on Aela, Skyrim just crashes. And if she's in Jorrvaskir, Skyrim just crashes in the loading screen, or never stop loading

Do you have sufficient VRAM? Having multiple texture sets (such as for custom NPCs) can be a strain on a system.

Are you install replacer from Bijin?

Guys, apparently I too have this problem. I tried reinstalling and all the stuff from the internet.
I even looked at the mesh folder where in every folder there are no files at all.
Does it have to do the game be bought in Steam?

(Bad Grammar)

(SOLVED)

Guys, I reinstall Nexus then install the Bijin mods 1st and it worked!!
