I've created a merchant NPC. It works, but the problem is that the face colour tone of the face down to the neck does not match the colour of the rest of the body. I can sort of get away with it by using a clothing outfit that covers most of the body, but the colour of the face still does not match the hands. Not quite perfect but usable, however I'm planning on more merchants and don't want them all using the same types of full body clothing covering up every single inch. To me it's just like brushing the problem under the carpet and hope it goes away, and it sets off my OCD.
I remember from FONV, the mod AWOP had this, or something like it. The head colour did not match the body, and the fix was an ini setting iirc. I think it was:
bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=0
and change it to
bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1
Anyone know if this works, it doesn't seem to be in the Skyrim ini or prefs, but it might be addable. Maybe even work.
