📋 About This Mod
Cridowskin V3 - Return of the Freckles!
This is the third and final version of this skinset. No more updates will be added.
Thank you everyone for downloading, endorsing, and supporting this mod!
Because this skin is now final, I'll be locking comments.
Thank you for the support :)
EDIT: As of February 17th, I'm disabling the bug tracker. People are reporting bugs without information, bugs that are user errors, and things that are not bugs at all. This mod works fine on my end as of its final version - and I imagine it works for many others as well. If you're having trouble with it, then my advice is to use a different set of textures. I don't have the time or patience to try and sort other people's personal circumstances and load orders.

[]Nipples have been redone, with nipple texture from DDFFF 3. 1;[/]
[]Built-in HPR support;[/]
[]CBBE NPC HeadRear Fix Remake lazy support[/]
[]Full Unique Player support from the get-go - you can pick a different basegame replacer at the same time! Or even none, making this skin player-only*;[/]
[]A new alternate normal map option;[/]
[]Freckled version makes a comeback, available in all different body hair options;[/]
[]2K faces default - You need 2k face files from other mods like Natural 2K Face Textures or Real HD Face Textures 2k if you don't already use 2k faces. [/]
[]1K face pack is now included in the installer;[/]
[]Separated the skin installer from the NPC face data files, for user ease of access. You can choose to re-install Cridowskin 3 with different options without needing to downbload the massive load of NPC face textures;[/]
partial support with a lazy patch. My recommendation is that you follow the tutorial in that mod after installing mine as normal.
*To make it player only you still need a means to get face textures. You can use the basegame face files, also included in the FOMOD. But my recommendation is to use Unique Face Texture - LM Tint API and set up this mod's textures to work with it according to that mod page.
Installation
If you plan to use this as a basegame replacer, please download Main File 2: CRIDOWSKIN - Facegen for Full Replacer and install it. It doesn't matter if it is before or after the full installer.
If you plan to use this for Unique Player, please download that mod first, and then pick your options in the Cridowskin 3 installer. Make sure my mod overwrites Unique Player.
If you ONLY want to use this for Unique Player, you do not need "CRIDOWSKIN - Facegen for Full replacer".

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 4,139 endorsements and 357k downloads
- Near-seamless skin means no ugly neck seams ruining your screenshots
- Built-in support for popular mods like Unique Player and HiPoly Faces Redux saves you compatibility headaches
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023 — might be outdated if you're on the latest Skyrim version
- Requires CBBE body mod, so if you're not using CBBE this isn't for you
- No explicit mention of optional files or customization options beyond the basics
For Skyrim players who want a high-quality, realistic skin texture for their CBBE characters, especially those who love detailed faces and freckles. If you're into taking screenshots or just want your character to look stunning without seams, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're not using CBBE or prefer a different skin tone style.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CBBE installed first, then just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2.
- If you use Unique Player or HiPoly Faces Redux, grab the compatible versions from the mod's optional files to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's forum posts for any known issues with your Skyrim version, since it hasn't been updated in a while.
