Now I am not new when it comes to modding, but for Fallout 3 I am. I have put together what I believe to be a pretty OK load order.

My problem is when using FACE3 NPC add-on. I get the NPC's to have the different color eyes, but the hairstyles dont get added. Its like a majoirty of the characters that are suppose to have different hair styles have the "bedraggled" hairstyle instead. I have checked the bash patch I created in FO3Edit and everything shows up fine there. It has the appropriate hairstyle pointing to Face3.ESM, and yes I do have that active.

Anyways here is my LO

FOOK2 modifies race and many NPC entries. It is likely conflicting with FACE.

The mods themselves arnt active but rather merged into the bash patch. So the conflicts over ride the FOOK changes , or at least they should. I am getting the correct eyes, but not the correct hair. I am stumped.

Click on the esp to highlight it in the bash patch program. Look on the right hand side, at the bottom. There is a box that says Bash Tags. Is anything listed? If not, right click on it and select Hair. You will need to rebuild your patch, but your esp should show up to be bash patched so make sure you check it. Should fix the problem. *crosses fingers*
