Ciceria Replacer - Botox Compatibility Module

This is a patch that fixes Ciceria's potato face if you try to use Female Cicero Replacer mod by AlainTheGreat (based on YuiH's companion Ciceria), in conjunction with Botox for Skyrim.

Technically, this patch doesnt require Botox mod to work, since it's actually a patch to re-direct assets to the mod's native records. As Botox makes some changes to cosmetic records such as heads and hairstyles, some mods might not behave as well as they should upon combining them with Botox.

This issue is unrelated to grey faces bug and CANNOT be fixed by the the Construction Kit's regenerate face geometry trick described on Botox:

How-To patch your own Mod:

If you want to create a patch for your mod (Botox your mod's heads), you can do the following in Creation Kit:

1. Temporarily Uninstall/Disable Head texture mods during these steps. (You will get the red forehead bug if you don't do this)

2. Add "Botox.bsa," and "ballowmultiplemasterfiles=1, ballowmultiplemasterloads=1" to the SkyrimEditor.ini (Important: leave the ',' comma after Botox.bsa)

ballowmultiplemasterfiles=1

ballowmultiplemasterloads=1

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, DawnGuard.bsa, HearthFires.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa, Botox.bsa,

3. Load your mod.esp (make yourmod 'active' plugin, so your npcs will have a '*' in the object window and are easier to spot) + Botox_CharGen.esp + Botox.esp in CreationKit (Cancel all error messages)

4. Select your NPCs you want to convert and press CTRL + F4

  (This will generate new head .nif's (and tints) from the Botox Assets in the FacegenData/FaceGeom folder.) 

5. Reenable/reinstall your texture mods. Done. That's it.

The reason why this fix doesnt work on these cases is because this fix is meant for NPCs who are not reliant on a facegen morph file, but rather just new NPC records on a plugin file.

Say one creates a new NPC with the Construction kit, and they have bugged face in game, the face can be rebuilt to use Botox assets with that method, fixing both the potato face geometry, and the texture neckseam. But custom made characters, already have a built geometry and texturing which is not stored in the esp plugin, but rather on a nif file instead. Overwriting an existing facegen nif file with a CK regenerated one, even at the best of cases, will only result in the replacement of the previous custom built face, for a program generated one using what little information the program has to make one.

Requirements:

Female Cicero

Installation: Just overwrite files either manually or by your mod managet of choice.
