Hey guys, I've been experiencing an issue ever since I downloaded Skyrim for my gaming PC as well as some mods.
One of the mods I use is Live Another Life since, let's face it, it definitely beats having to repeatedly do the Vanilla start all the time. I was messing around, texting a HD hair texture mod when I noticed something about one of the Wood Elf Hair styles, the first male preset one to be exact. The front-center portion of it was transparent...
I decided to test all the hairstyles I could to see if they were affected, and some of them have similar issues, though most are not as bad as that one Elven hairstyle (things like Ulfric's hairstyle for example, a lot of the hair options that are raised up looking).
Edit: (This part can be ignored, I was being a dumb-dumb and didn't realize the style was supposed to have the one bang at the front. ) I also noticed one of the hairstyles was glitched, although I could be mistaken. It's the style for males with the two long bangs and a few braids on the back sides. For reference, here it is with the glitched bang: http://www.uesp.net/w/images/3/36/SR-npc-Avulstein_Gray-Mane.jpg
And as I tested and went through these issues, I noticed something else - something I forgot about since the last time I ever played Skyrim back when it was only on my Xbox 360... the left side of male Wood Elves' heads has a bald spot on the sideburn for a lot of their hairstyles.
Regarding the transparent hair issue though, I did some testing and it seems areas lit in a certain way affect the hairstyles that have the transparency glitch while areas like being outdoors during the day make it look just fine.
If anyone can help me out - recommending a mod to fix this or some way to adjust whatever needed to be adjusted, anything at all, I'd be grateful.
Oh, and I'm not using any Lighting mods (currently) - if that helps. And I have the free HD texture pack as well. Again, not sure if it helps but just in case it does, you know now.
