Improved Vanilla Companions

I tried to make the face of each companion more realistic, reduced the noses, smoothed the transitions from cheekbones to chin, reduced the neck for women, corrected the shape of the lips, changed the position of the teeth so that they did not stand out so much during dialogues. Now women's faces look thinner and more feminine. I also edited textures, mixed some of them in blend mode, added eyebrows, adjusted the color.I have listed all the resources used and links to them below. Many thanks to the authors for the opportunity to use their resources for modification.
