📋 About This Mod
Discrete Female Skeleton
DEPRECATED:
If you want males to use a different skeleton than females, this is the way to go. For example you could use Skeletal Adjustments for CBBE - Knee Fix by SQr17 and ZaZ Extended Skeleton by mastercchris at the same time, but you can use any two skeletons you like.
IMPORTANT- Read first
Now compatible with Outcasts and Remnants
I made this very simple mod because it bothered me that you can't use the mod Skeletal Adjustments for CBBE - Knee Fix by SQr17 for female characters only and the mod ZaZ-Extended-Skeleton(ZeX) by mastercchris for male characters only. Now you can. This mod makes the gender you are not playing as use another skeleton. This is a simple .esp , but it may not be compatible with mods which modify races, I haven't tested them all.
Installation (Version 2. 1):
This new version uses a method Tri0xin (kudos to him) came up with. Now, the mod should be compatible with most other mods on Nexus. It works by redirecting a skeleton to a different file path rather than renaming it. To install please follow these steps (when updating from 1. 3 please look below):
-
[]Pick the right .esp . Use either the FOMOD Installer (recommended) or download the right .esp from the Miscellaneous Files (not recommended).
[
]Directly install the skeleton you want your character to use and manually download the other one.[](Now, create a folder named NPCAssets in Data\Meshes\actors\character) <--- Already done by the Installer, but you still need to do this ---> and drop the skeleton you don't want your character to use and it's associated files in there.
[]Done!
When Updating to from 1. 3 to 2. 1:
[]Download and install the updated .esp Recommended: Use the Installer (Main File, v2. 1)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,498 endorsements) — this was a go-to skeleton mod before deprecation
- Downloads are massive (74,799) — clearly filled a need for many players
- Author redirects to a better alternative, so you're not left hanging
⚠️ Cons
- Deprecated — don't install this; use the recommended replacement instead
- Last updated in 2019 — likely outdated for current Skyrim versions
- No actual mod files or features described — it's just a redirect page
For Skyrim players who see this mod in their mod manager and wonder if it's still relevant — it's not. Skip this and grab Discrete Female Skeleton by SQr17 instead. If you're a completionist or curious about the mod's history, the description offers nothing beyond the redirect.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Don't download this mod — it's deprecated and the author explicitly tells you to use Discrete Female Skeleton instead.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can safely ignore this mod and search for the replacement by name.
- Check the mod's posts or comments for any extra info, but the description is just a redirect.
