Face color Missmatch of my Player Character

[Vallaes]

My character has a relative bright skin tone face that does not match the body tone and even when i go to showracemenu and switch complexion which alters the skin tone better to that of my character it still looks dull. That color missmatch is linked to that known grey/dark head bug, but whenever i change the skin tone and complexion in showracemenu, save game and restart the game the white head is back and complexion of face skin isn't going to fix it 100%.

There are many threads like that, no solution so far. Lot of people mention Creation Kit for NPC's but i can not load my player character there, it does not show up in the list so it is probably no solution to my character.

Tried to reinstall all texture and body/face mods without change.

Yes, i obviously googled and came always to the same stuff Creation Kit for NPC's and Vampires, non off them addressed player character problem fix.

Can somebody help?

Is it possible that you are using custom files, where resource priorities are messed up, during installing/uninstalling files? I know that you have uninstalled your files, but there is a possibility that something may have been manually overwritten and causing a problem.

Make sure that you do not have any custom meshes or textures in your game. Try to validate your game files with a cleaned appcache.

Pay attention to resource priorities, if you are reinstalling your files. I have talked about them in here. If you use mods with plenty of potentially conflicting resources, then I recommend using Mod Organizer to mod your game.

Tried with veryfing master files, 5 were missing it restored them but the bug ist still there.

Optimized with LOOT the loading order of files, bug is still there.

Deinstalled more mods i installed in recent past, no change still bugged face.

Some mentioned Apachii'sHair causing that bug, tried to deinstall it, game doesn't even start, tried to uncheck the esp for that mod but mod still functions.

Others have suggest to load specific NPC's in Creation Kit to create BSA file without facegen that messes around with the skin tone, but i do not know how to load my own character into Creation Kit. Somebody know how that is done?

How to change the hair on NPC:
===================================
Note-there is a bug in the Creation Kit that makes the NPC that you make changes to have color mismatch (Face/Body)
follow these guidelines to avoid the problem.
http://www.creationkit.com/Dark_Face_Bug

OR

Creation Kit does that
Open it
Click on folder top left in tool box to Data
D/Click cross in box against Skyrim.esm
D/click ApachiiHair.esm or (edit : at the time I wrote this may not be needed now)
Mod that has follower (usually I don't) Use this if you modded him
Click on 'Set as Active File" and then OK
Will take awhile to load files and Initializing
Click yes to all
Loading Files...Initializing References
Go to object windows
Click on + box to open Actors
Look down list (depends on race) (I here will do nord race, the process is the same for races)
Look down list to Nord race click on box
Female (I selected female)
Male is so
Hightlight felmale - this brings up all women that are of nord race
This can be done indivually or as one total unit (I will select all)
Highlight top of list press shift and highlight bottom of list (all will be highlighted)
Press Ctrl and F4 together brings up window to confirm click YES
Bottom left you will see name of list being ticked off. Wait until completed (more highlighted the more time to do)
You can do this to other races before going to C;Drive
When completed widow box with done shows, click OK (DO NOT CLOSE OUT CREATION KIT)

Now go to C;Drive/steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/data/textures/actors/character/FacGen data/FaceTint/skyrim.esm (shock and horror now remove ALL .dds and .tga Files(this is if you do all of the list(Nord race females) or will only show only the indivual ones that you pick)
So delete them and close out of C:Drive
Back in Creation Kit save and close out, good to go
Credits for this go to modder Spewed for all information

JUST select the indivual actor that you have used(same process)

Thanks, but this is not Helpfull because i asked for how to edit my CHARACTER and not NPC's. Can i do that ONLY with MY Character which i am playing in the Creation Kit?

If you made your charactor, you base it on CK actor, all you do is go to data tick 'skyrim' and 'your actor mod' and if you use 'apachiiHair' that also needs to be tick.
Process is the same.
But is you set up your profile for character using face and body changes at startof your game, then you may have to redo it at the start.
I made one and gave him a shout face unfortunately in the game that face was present all the time and not when he shouted, so went back to start and change it.
What I think you have done is change face colour that now permanent in the game.

Hope this help if not back to the drawing board.

What do you mean to redo it at the start? If you mean do it with showracemenu, then i tried it and it does not work, whenever i restart the game the bug is back again and that is a bug embedded somehow. For a test i tried to create a new game with a new character and the new character has aswell a brighter and sometimes darker head skin tone than the body which is very gamebreaking i would say. That means there must be something to do because i never had that bug before.

The problem is when i change anything of my character in Showracemenu it switches back after i restart the game. I can change hair, eyes, height, race and so on, but the Skin tone and Face Complexion switches back to 0 where the bug occurs. I can switch that skin tone to another setting and than back to 0 and it if fixed (90%) and after restarting game it bugs again. I also tried to switch the skin color completley to dark but that bug occurs anyway. So i am pretty stuck with that and do not know a solution.

Where can i find the Facegen data of my Character (not NPC's)?

EDIT: Have checked a few things in showracemenu and i have noticed that only ApachiiHair are there, no standard hair from vanilla are in the settings, so i guess it has something to do with Apachii's Hair mod, but i can not deinstall the mod because the game crashes when i try to start it without having it installed.

How do i start game without Apachii'shair mod?
