📋 About This Mod
FaceGen patches for Shiva's vanilla hair replacer that haven't already been shared elsewhere. Taking requests! Just remember that I have a life too, and respect it - it might take me some time to work on your request, but don't take it personally! Requests on hold for the moment due to being too busy, will finish the current ones and continue taking requests once other stuff has cleared itself out!
Please report any bugs or issues if you encounter any! This is my first "mod" so I'm still learning. However, these patches shouldn't cause your game any worse problems than the infamous black face bug - if anything, these patches are specifically made to eliminate that very bug, but I may have missed something and will gladly try to solve any issues.
Also, please let me know if I've uploaded a patch that already exists - I shall delete mine in that case.
If any authors of the mods for which I have offered patches wish for me to take them down, I will.
Load order:
Load any patch after Shiva's Vanilla Hair Replacer and the mod which the patch is for.
If there are conflicts with other mods (such as NPC replacers), overwrite these meshes or hide/delete the conflicting meshes from this mod to let the ones you want for your game to win the conflict and show up in game. Example: Let's say one of the patches has facegen data for Susanna the Wicked, but you also use Kalilies NPCs which also includes Susanna. You'd most likely have black face bug with this NPC if my patch were to overwrite Kalilies Susanna, so you'd better place my patch before Kalilies mod OR hide/delete the conflicting mesh from my patch. After the latter procedure, you shouldn't even see a conflict with Kalilies mod and my patch. In either case, Kalilies facegen data wins the conflict and the NPC should appear normal in game.
If you aren't familiar with mod conflicts and load order, I suggest watching a tutorial on YouTube - my favorite is Gopher's. Mod Organizer is also my preference for handling my mods and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
