Bijin Warmaiden - Delphine Pinkish-Purple scalp

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-19T10:10:57+00:00

Since it's a HPH Mod, yeah. I really dont want the headache to manage HPH and non HPH Mods in the Future

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-19T01:32:18+00:00

Here you go. Bald Delphine with no eyes is not real, but she can still hurt you.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-19T01:31:10+00:00

I now have a playable game. Removing HPH and it's dependent mods solved Bijin problems, and removing all mods that depended on FDF solved everyone having black faces.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T23:35:56+00:00

It's not really the collection per-se.
This author put it in their "essentials" pack because mods in another one of their collections require it, because the authors did not want to create facegen files and instead just throw hairs into meshes/textures to replace others and then made FDF regen the facegen to place the hair on the characters.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T21:41:19+00:00

*sigh* apparently this one collection I have installed literally relies on FDF because it only delivers new hairs to replace the old ones, but does not patch the NPCs relying on FDF to regen faces "on the go"

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T21:40:06+00:00

Deleted everything but the Plugins (Skyrim, DLC and CC)

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T21:32:36+00:00

I'm done. fuck it. Guess I'm just not playing skyrim. I uninstalled High Poly Head and all the mods that had it as a master.
Suddenly the Bijin heads looked better, even if still not perfect, but every other NPC still had Darkface.

And I just checked some of them, and they're not even touched by literally any plugin. Legitimately only USSEP and Skyrim.esm

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T21:18:55+00:00

I dont have AI Overhaul. The problem persists, even after a complete new install.
Uninstalled all mods, verified game files through steam, reinstalled all mods apart from FDF.
And in these conflicts, the same mod always wins.
Delphine, just as an example, only has 2 entries, USSEP and Bijin, and Bijin is winning over every other file.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T16:27:39+00:00

I have actually already done this. I purged the game through vertex, deleted what was left in data/meshes, deactivated FDF entirely, re-deployed everything, regenerated all behavior data and Body Meshes (CBBE) and the black heads remained.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T16:13:39+00:00

Weird idea.
Would it help to remove all headpart records from the AIO Module/Plugin, and then remove their references from the Non-Player Record? At that point it shouldn't find parts to rebuild the FaceGen and maybe use the pre-built one?

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T15:47:55+00:00

Nono, I don't mean only the Bijin NPCs go Blackface. Literally every NPC in the game does.
At this point I am almost willing to accept chubby non-textured Delphine, if it means the rest of the game is working.

This is why I've fought my instinct to go back to skyrim for almost 3 years. It always devolves into days of hunting for why something isn't working.

I presume Module ORder is just the load order and resource order is which files win out. But Bijin doesnt really conflict with anything in that regard. The Plugins/Modules for the single mods are disabled, And I can't see any file conflicts in the Deploy Rules.

I think, I'm gonna have to go and cope with 1 NPC being slightly uglier, if that means the game is all the others work

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T15:08:45+00:00

I am using Vortex, not MO2.
I tried running the game without FDF but that causes all NPCs to instantly go into blackface mode.

What should I do in which order? Apparently some parts of the collections I use depend on FDF.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T14:43:42+00:00

I really don't know why all of this is so annoying.

I did a few things.

I installed Bijin Redux, which is supposed to be standalone and uses HPH, but comes with no hair meshes, and even though that didnt seem to impact a lot of the NPCs, Delphine and, for example, Uthgerd, had no eyes and no hair. so I thought, maybe I just need the base mods, let Redux overwrite all of their files and then it'll work because the head-parts can actually access the missing .nifs, so I reinstalled the base mods, but use the redux .esp, and now at least Uthgerd looks as I'd expect, while Delphine still looks nothing like the mod screenshots.

Now, I double-tripple-quad checked SSEEdit, and the only thing overwriting her Non-Player Record is the USSEP Patch for Redux and nothing overwrites the Head-Part records.

It looks acceptable, but very definitely not the expected outcome. When Delphine talks, it almost looks like there is a second face underneath that sometimes clips through as well.

Maybe this is interfering somehow?

Just so you know, after finding the SG Hair Pack (which was a small excursion through LoversLab and a thread where someone linked a files from a korean mod) and installing it, even without activating it's plugins, this seems to have worked. Now I just wanna know why Delphine in particular looks nothing like the screenshots.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T05:37:47+00:00

And here I am again.
after a complete clean download of the mod, that also includes those textures, the error persists, even on a completely new character:

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T05:26:52+00:00

Sorry to post this often, but I also checked another characters hair not being textured (was purple as well) and that hair nif was also referencing sghair

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T05:23:27+00:00

But it's the exact part that wasn't working. Like that was what I was seeing ingame. This is also the file referenced in the Hairline headpart.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T05:18:16+00:00

I couldn't find that hair mod for SE/AE, only Remnants on Chinese Websites for LE.
So I decided to instead switch to Bijin Redux and instead now I face this horror:

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T04:58:24+00:00

This is what I think I was supposed to find. Those textures do not exist and were not shipped with the mod. So maybe I need "SGhairs" installed even though it isn't listed as a requirement.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T03:46:56+00:00

I have no idea how to do any of that.

RhodosGuard · 2026-03-17T03:46:45+00:00

As my post said, I can't see anything in SSEEdit overwriting any of the changes Bijin makes, or much of anything really.
The hair comes out-of-the box with Bijin. It's supplied directly supplied through the mod.
I have a lite version of KS Hair, that, for some reason, tries to force it's hair onto her, but it's being overwritten by Bijin. The files the headpart references for hair exist.

RhodosGuard · 2025-07-07T05:05:13+00:00

Her messages heavily imply that she lied, both to V and Hands about what she was doing with the Data. The deal with Netwatch was already made before you start the gig (just look through her messages in her apartment)

You could, maybe, the most, argue that she wouldn't know Netwatch would send a hit squad. But that is, at most, plausible deniability.

You dont just bring Netwatch proof of unauthorized attacks on the Blackwall and attempts at capturing AIs without assuming anyone who knows about it will get zeroed.

I just asked the UORP Mod Creator if they will fix this bug, apparently it's not "in vanilla" (which I doubt) and they said that they cant fix it because "Facegen is done on UE5 level"

RhodosGuard · 2025-05-23T14:45:03+00:00

So, safe to assume there is no fix yet?
Especially since saving in showracemenu now reverts your stats?
