Description
This mod adds a spell that fixes the dark face bug, mismatching skin color of face and body on NPC's. It's similar to using the consol command SetNPCWeight 35. Instead though this uses Papyrus Extender's function MixColorWithSkinTone at 0% forcing the NPC to update skin color. The function will automatically run on NPC's after going through load doors, if they are 3D Loaded. You can add up to 128 NPC's to the auto run list. To use, just cast the Dark Face Fix lesser power on an NPC. Cast again on an NPC to remove them from the list.
This mod does NOT fix face geom data, only skin color. It's intended to be used as an alternative to the SetNPCWeight consol command.
Note, I've only tested this on Recorder who is the Nord Race, I'm not sure how well this will work for other races.
Compatibility
Should be Compatible with everything.
Requirements
Papyrus Extender version 2. 3. 2
