first of all, this only works for VANILLA VAMPIRE RACES

This permanently fixes the body and head color mismatch by making the 'skin color' slider work for Vampires.


for this mod to work as intended, you need to do the following (Optional)

you need to check this folder - textures\actors\character\female

delete the following files if you found them - femaleheadvampire.dds - femaleheadvampire_msn.dds

then 'copy' the following files from the same folder - femalehead.dds - femalehead_msn.dds

then paste it on your desktop

then rename them from: - femalehead.dds -> femaleheadvampire.dds - femalehead_msn.dds -> femaleheadvampire_msn.dds

then paste the renamed files back on this folder: - textures\actors\character\female

then you're ready to go :)


Alternative Way to Fix the Eyes:

for those people that has their vampire eyes reverted to the original human eyes, just do the following

step1 : download Vampire Eyes for Normal Races or any other vampire eyes mod that works for normal races

step2 : revert your race from being vampire to normal by typing "player.setrace <yournormalrace>" (ex. player.setrace bretonrace)

step3 : open console then type "showracemenu", then use the eyes from the mod and finish editing

step4 : revert your race from normal to vampire again by typing "player.setrace <yournormalrace>vampire (ex. player.setrace bretonracevampire)


fixes all vampires ingame... i uploaded a few images of vampire NPCs from volkihar castle. see screenshots/images

============ INSTALLATION ============ - download main file - extract files with winRAR - copy file and paste it in your data folder - activate in your launcher - start the game and enjoy
