One way to remedy this in-game is to set the NPC weight in console, which will align their face color with their skin color, but this is a bad solution because it is tedious, the face will not be the custom face it should be (will look ugly and generic), and it may not even permanent between game sessions.Ī better solution is to regenerate these facegen files using the Creation Kit.
Characters in Skyrim have corresponding facegen mesh files which come with the game, so missing facegen data can only affect NPCs which are from a mod, not Skyrim or its DLCs. If a facegen mesh file doesn't exist for an NPC, the game will default to auto generate a dark head for them. Rather, it is user or modder error caused by one of two things: Missing facegen data or incompatible facegen data.įacegen data is a mesh file which basically describes the features of an NPC's face. The first thing to understand, is that the Dark Face Bug is not actually a bug in the game engine. Since over the last two years I've been gaining experience and leveling up my modding skilltree, I can hopefully explain this bug in detail and in a way a casual modder will understand. I've read many discussions on it over the years, but I never saw oneI felt was sufficiently comprehensive and after seeing someone accuse Guards Armor Replacer of giving their NPCs dark faces, I decided it would benefit the community to have a more in-depth guide on the Dark Face Bug. This can be a frustrating problem to fix if you don't yet know what can cause it. Most Skyrim modders who downloaded mods which change NPC appearances have probably gotten the dark, black, brown, grey, etc.
