Issues with SAM Light / SOSAM - new patches will be made!
Possible seam with High Poly Head A patch is included in the FOMOD
F.A.Q.
Q: Why are there still seams sometimes? A: Exposed skin like the chest and arms are actually part of an armor/clothing item mesh. Sometimes the shaders on these meshes do not have the appropriate values for specularity, which can lead to seams. A few vanilla outfits suffer from this issue. I am looking into making a patcher to help with this. You can edit the values of the offending outfit in NIFSkope to make sure they match malebody_0.nif.
Also, if from the main menu you COC to a location, the game will not load tint for the head until you save and reload! Keep this in mind. If you fire up the game, type COC Riverwood, you will have a miscolored head/body. Load an existing save, or save/reload and the tint will kick in. The same is true for RaceMenu when you change certain headparts. The skin tint will revert and mistmatch until RaceMenu is closed.
When in doubt, strip of all clothing to inspect for seams!
!!! I love the update! Had to cheat on this mod with Tempered Skins ever since I started using T.N.G (not proud of that, but needed it for everything to make sense), SOOO glad I can go back to this! My Dovahkiin just doesn't look quite right with any skin that's not SkySight!
Hi, excellent skin for the Skyrim men. Thank you very much. The loading order in my case on the left side of MO2 is SOS Himbo SkySight Skins High Poly Head Is this correct or incorrect?
If you still have a clothed body that means the nude body isn't installed correctly. This mod doesn't include body meshes.
If you're saying the cloth texture is showing up where the nude body parts are, then you've got a load order problem, this needs to take higher priority.
So yeah you have a problem with your load order / patches that is unrelated to this mod, I can't really help you narrow that down. This is a common problem, I'd ask on TNG page/Discord.
Good to know! I thought they had different UV layouts. I'll have to do some experimenting. So many body mods build off the old ones so it gets confusing quick.
The New Gentleman says "Compatible with all re-textures for SOS Full." so I would use the SoS option in Skysight Skins if using TNG.
Hello, i have a few question, if i install both TNG and HIMBO (HIMBO overwrite TNG) which body type should i choose? Also, for the HPH fix, where i can find the head nif and how to edit it? Thanks
If HIMBO is overwriting TNG then use the Better Males / HIMBO patch. But let me know how that works, especially if there are any seams on the genitalia.
For the HPH fix, you'll have to extract the BSA to get to the loose file. It might be worth waiting for me to get that into the update, which I plan to do ASAP (in the next day or so.)
Thank you for the answer. Yesterday i tried to extract the nif file, edit it with nifskope and install it like a mod but it caused ctd instead, so i'll be waiting for your update instead XD. As for the body type i use the HIMBO uncut version and i dont see any seams on pp even when paired with trx addon.
