📋 About This Mod
Version 1. 1 requires the Shivering Isles. All the plugins have been merged together based on gender. It includes various minor fixes and has been cleaned with TES4Edit.
This is a modified version of Beautiful Women Mod by ntobmodfan adjusted to be more believable and lore friendly.
Description:
I appreciate Beatiful Women Mod's faces because they are more attractive and lifelike, but I can't stand that everyone's age was set to 15. So I restored all the NPCs in BWM back to their default ages, while retaining their improved faces. I also fixed a couple of characters whose eyebrows looked strange.
The mod is separated into many esp files, so you can choose whichever ones you want. To get the full effect, you should use them all.
Installation:
Just put the esp files in your Data folder and activate them.
*However, if you are using any mods that alter the NPCs (overhaul mods in particular), you should use Wrye Bash's import faces function to make them play nice.
To get the full effect of the mod, you need NPC Face Color Unlocker by Quazzy.
BWR Nice Only - alters many female protagonists
BWR DB - alters most women in the Dark Brotherhood
BWR Not So Nice - alters many female villains (DB not included)
BWR SI - alters some women in the Shivering Isles
HGR - alters many men
HGR DB - alters most men in the Dark Brotherhood
HGR SI - alters some men in the Shivering Isles
Compatibility:
This mod is not compatible with any other mod that edits the included characters. However compatibility with any mod can be achieved by using Wrye Bash's Import Faces function.
