LM's Vanilla Eyes - Artsick Edition - Standalone - SSE

I made this for myself a long time ago and now made myself a lot of work to make it publishable. 

This is my Vanilla Eye Overhaul as Standalone with benefits.

• my universal AE/SE/LE meshes, can be optimized for any version without breaking them 

• Uses the system Artsick introduced with Starsight Eyes that fixes the shadow bug and invisibility behind hair and underwater. Be aware those are more mesh parts now and importing existing sculpts with different eye mesh amount cause issues. Nothing new this mod introduces, you will have the same issue with vanilla normal eyes and blind/dual color eyes. 

• no single left/right eye, one side is decreased in size, means this only uses one tri file for all eyes

• has correct position in Nifskope, OutfitStudio and InGame - sculpting in OS is no issue

• 
  made new lash UVs and very detailed textures (left and right has difference)

• ironed UV and made the texture to mesh 1:1 
• increased in size to make use of the whole texture tile
• can have two different lashes for left and right
• is mirrored on Y for easier handling
  

• added for every single color a tintable lash option. Novelyst thought of this first to use this for lashes/eyemods. It's simply the system that prevents hairtints being applied to hair accessory. Vanilla hair and other hair mods use this. Comes with losing eye shader flags, which makes the tearduct look flat. Be aware of that. Which is why I don't use it, but added it for people. So this workload was purely done for others. My CBVE mod has a better tintable lash option, btw. check that one out if you want good tintable lashes that don't make the tearducts looking flat. 
  

• The eyes are provided for women, men and children that make use of humanoid eyes. So Beast races are not part of this, because Beast races use different eye meshes.

• Children have now left and right eye color options. 
  

• I fixed children's eye mesh shape. I gave them a chargen morph. Switch to EyeType1 (be it CK or Racemenu)  and the eye shape will be fixed.

• I added some new colors to all races.

• All eyes are flagged "AllRacesMinusBeast".

• ESP eslified

• textures are BC7 in 2K

• mod is a standalone, there are no conflicts

• uses the standard vanilla TRI file and will work with everything out of the box that makes use of said TRI (like EFA and EFM, etc.)

• textures are packed into a BSA archive, meshes are loose for CK compatibility

- Installation -

Install with your mod manager of choice. It's standalone, doesn't conflict with anything. The colors will show up directly next to the vanilla version of them. This is done for easier use for me, to be able to compare.

!!!IMPORTANT NECESSARY UPDATE!!!

Reinstall mod. Texture sets weren't correct. Sorry! -_-

I forgot to remove my Vanilla Eye Overhaul as dependency in the ESP.
