For anyone interested, HDT-SMP was just released for Skyrim Special Edition. That site is in chinese and you need to register and reply to that thread in order to see the download link. It's easy to nagivate if you use something like Chrome to auto translate. Unlike HDT-PE (based on Havok physics), HDT-SMP uses Bullet physics. Development for HDT-PE halted once Intel stopped providing the Havok Content Tools for free. Apparently, Havok was purchased by Microsoft around that time. It took a bit of research, but I got HDT-SMP working with my HDT BBB body mod for SAM. Since HDT-SMP is not the same as HDT-PE, new physics settings had to be used. Also, the global configuration is based on shapes (meshes) instead of bones like HDT-PE. I still need to tinker with the xml files to get the physics just right for the male body.

The male Khajiit head mesh has a mane that just floats around the neck along with overlapping UV mapping. Design-wise, I still need to figure out how to fix it without breaking existing textures.

It's a simple concept. Slot 52 is generally used for genitals/underwear. Management of slot 52 requires a specfic setup that often involves using scripts and event listeners. Node scaling won't work if the slot 52 genital/underwear uses the same nodes. SAM Light is designed to be used without a script. It's a basic body replacer where the genitals are placed on slot 32 (same as body). It's not compatible with slot 52 genital/underwear when nude. I'm not a fan of using event listeners for this purpose and am always hesitant when people ask for slot 52 management (among other things) to be added to SAM Light.

I took a break from modding for a month and came back to a bunch of repeated questions. It'll take me awhile to go through all of them. 😅 To clarify a few things: This mod only includes head meshes/morphs. No eye meshes/morphs are included. If you use an eye mesh fix that changes vertices/UV, this will break the eye morphs included with RaceMenu. The high poly heads are based on the vanilla meshes for compatibility reasons. This includes flaws in the UV mapping. The only fixes I made were skin shader adjustment (male head) and UV edge adjustment in the back of the head (female head). For those that want the UV eye socket adjustment fix for the female head, I can add it as an optional addon in a future update. This will also require generating new FaceGen data for affected NPC's. RaceMenu presets with sculpt data for the vanilla head are not compatible. Importing them will likely result in a deformed head shape.

View File SAM Light Texture Add-on Custom skin textures I created for SAM Light for personal use. It's reached a point where I feel it's ready for everyone else to use. These textures are for human races only. Each texture set is custom made and meant to be used together. Hand and feet textures include fingernails/toenails and are meant to be used with hand/feet meshes from SAM High Poly Conversion. Face textures include high quality ears and no problematic seams commonly found in the back of the head. Requirements SAM Light Diffuse Maps created from various photo references slightly saturated and mainly tailored for Nords skin tone might be off for non-Nord races includes body hair options optional tanline body available in 2k (uncompressed) Normal Maps (_msn) baked from high poly models and blended with skin pores for extra details face maps use vanilla maps as base and blended to remove neck seams available in 4k and 2k (uncompressed) Specular Maps (_s) designed specifically to highlight fine skin pores while not being overly glossy available in 4k and 2k (compresed and uncompressed variants) Subsurface Maps (_sk) effect is subtle in Oldrim but much more noticeable in SE created from diffuse maps available in 1k (compressed and uncompressed variants) Face Complexion Maps custom-made complexion maps rough maps are freckles and age maps are sharper and appear younger than vanilla certain NPC's may look different due to age complexion available in 1k uncompressed (RGB 64:64:64) Installation If using a mod manager, just follow the installer. The quality 4k options are meant for screenarchery, but they're usable for general gameplay if you have a capable system. Manual Installation 00 Diffuse textures in _bodyBase, _hands, _head folders are required choose one body texture from _bodyDefault (normal body) or _bodyTan (tanline body) folders 01 Normal textures in _hands and _head folders are required. choose between 2k body (_body2k) or 4k body (_body4k) optionally install texture in _headCustom folder for custom head texture 02 Specular Quality: pick one body texture from _body2k or _body4k folder, then install all textures in _quality2k folder Performance: install all textures in the _performance2k folder 03 Subsurface Quality: install all textures in the _quality1k folder Performance: install all textures in the _performance1k folder 04 Face Detail optional for custom face complexion maps What about SAM (full)? Due to the vast amount of normal maps used, I decided to only support SAM Light since it uses only one set of normal maps. The other maps can be used for SAM, but some editing is needed if you want the genital textures. Please do not modify and share without my permission.

View File SAM Morphs for RaceMenu This is a RaceMenu plugin that adds SAM morphs without using any of SAM's scripts. It's mainly intended to add SAM morphing features to SE, but a version for Oldrim is also provided. Using armor refits for SAM is highly recommended. For SE users, the refits must be converted to SE format using NIF Optimizer. RaceMenu SE 0.2.4+ requires .tri morphs to be using the newer format exported by Outfit Studio. Main Features Body Morphs for different body types Texture selection for custom textures Body hair overlays for extra body hair control BodyGen Morphs for diverse body types on all male NPC's based on class (optional) Body Morphs Samson/Samuel morphs with a toggle for skeleton scaling Genital morphs based on SAM genital bones scaling formula Foreskin morph to toggle foreskin Individual bone scaling used in Samson/Samuel morphs for finer tuning Genital skeleton scaling for compatiblity with genital accessories Texture Selection (SAM Light only, textures not included) Swap to different diffuse, normal, and specular maps for the body, hands, and feet* Requires refits with body parts correctly named for SAM (SAMBody, SAMHands, SAMFeet, SAMGenitals, SAMForeskin) Textures follow the naming convention BaseName_xx.dds (diffuse), BaseName_xx_msn.dds (normal), BaseName_xx_s.dds (specular) where xx ranges from 01 to 10 For example, base texture malebody_1.dds would be named malebody_01.dds, malebody_02.dds, malebody_03.dds, etc. Feet textures have the BaseName of MaleFeet (default races), ArgonianMaleFeet (Argonian), and FeetMale (Khajiit) *feet uses body texture by default Usage Three custom spells are automatically added under Powers. SAM Morphs (Self)* Opens a minimal version of RaceMenu on the player character SAM Morphs (Target)* Opens a minimal version of RaceMenu on the target character SAM Textures Config Configures setting for feet texture mode and resets texture overrides *requires UIExtensions Requirements SKSE / SKSE64 RaceMenu (Oldrim, SE) SAM Light* UIExtensions** (Oldrim, SE) *not required, but SAM assets are required in some type of setup (like SOS). SAM scripts/.esp/.dll are not used. **only required for editing morphs on NPC's Manual Installation 00 Textures for overlays 01 Base mod for either Oldrim or SE 02 BodyGen morphs (1 for basic setup, 2 for overrides from other mods) (optional) 03 Genital Morphs if not using SAM Light (optional) Notes Foreskin morph requires SAM Light "un-cut" option during installation. BodyGen for RaceMenu SE can make the game unstable based on individual setups. BodyGen morphs are saved in the SKSE co-save alongside the game save. NetImmerse Override Cleaner can be used to remove the morph data in Oldrim saves. I'm not aware of any equivalent tool for SE. Body hair overlay only applies to the main body mesh, not the genitals. This is due to how the overlay system was designed. RaceMenu for NPC's will show them in a T-pose during slider changes. This is intentional and required when updating skeleton scaling since the game is paused. NPC will resume animations once the menu is closed. Genital morphs don't use genital skeleton scaling and are intended for BodyGen randomization. If used alongside the full SAM, the morphs and scaling are not synchronized and will add on top of each other.

View File SAM High Poly Conversion This is a high poly conversion of SAM meshes. The resulting meshes are smooth and contain around 4x the amount of vertices while still being usable for general gameplay. It started out as something for my own personal use, but I decided to share it with everyone. Compatible with SAM and SAM Light for both LE and SE. High Poly Body Mesh high poly body for both SAM and SAM Light variants underwear was given high poly treatment there are some minor sharp edges on certain poses due to weights if you're on a low end system and worried about performance, stick with the default body mesh High Poly Genital Mesh new high poly genitals for both SAM and SAM Light smoother edges are noticeable when zoomed in High Poly Hand Mesh high poly hands for playable human and beast races new mesh is based on the vanilla HandMaleBig mesh optional fingernail mesh to enhance details hand mesh v2 requires manual texture editing for fingernail textures High Poly Feet Mesh symmetrical feet meshes (original mesh had a smaller right foot) optional toenail mesh to enhance details even further feet mesh v2 requires manual texture editing for toenail textures High Poly Tail Mesh new high poly tail meshes for Argonian and Khajiit races vertex weights smoothed to look less blocky during movement Refits full vanilla refits made specifically for high poly SAM minor clipping may occur during movement currently does not include: briarheart body mesh or USLEEP/USSEP changes Fingernail/Toenail Mesh Texture v1 mesh uses a separate texture for the fingernails/toenails. Color won't change, but certain skin tones might make the nails look out of place. v2 mesh requires the fingernail/toenail textures to be on the same texture as the hand/body. This allows the use of the skin shader to change the color of the nails to match skin tone. Use the provided texture resources to copy and paste the fingernails into the hand textures and the toenails into the body textures. Installation If using a mod manager, just follow the installer. Manual Installation 00 and 01 - high poly body + genital meshes, select between SAM or SAM Light (cut or uncut) 02 - hand mesh, select between high poly hand with or without fingernail meshes 03 - feet mesh, select between high poly feet with or without toenail meshes 04 - high poly tail meshes for Argonian and Khajiit 05 - refits, each subfolder covers a specific armor part (body, hand, feet), base folder covers all armor that does not include skin Credit goes to Vector for the creation of Shape Atlas for Men.

The Face Part slider only changes the head mesh. You'll need to manually change the brows to its high poly version using the Brows slider. It changes both brow mesh and texture.

@th3unkn0wn You're making it more complicated than it needs to be. All you need to do is add High Poly Head.esm as a master to CustomRaces.esp and then change the head part for the custom race record to the equivalent high poly head part from my mod (eg. 00KLH_FemaleHeadBreton "FemaleHeadBreton" [HDPT:XX000A08]). No other changes or files to copy needed. As for the RaceMenu sliders, you may need a custom races.ini (\meshes\actors\character\facegenmorphs\CustomRaces.esp\races.ini) to assign sliders to custom races if the RaceMenu sliders aren't available in-game. Since you mentioned that the extra RaceMenu sliders already work for the Citrus head, you may already have a custom races.ini for it.

Expressive Facial Animations has some exaggerated expressions, but the sad expression looks like the most emotive one.
