📋 About This Mod

The third part of my NPC revamp series, Fox's Countenance overhauls the appearances of all Thieves Guild NPCs, giving them unique, immersive looks that better reflect their roles and personalities. No more generic faces—each member now stands out even in the shadows! The mod currently features the main fences and the most relevant quest NPCs, with more to come in the future!

The screenshots provided are using vanilla meshes and textures, but these adjustments should work flawlessly with your favourite texture and mesh mods! 

REQUIREMENTS

  • []UE4SS

    []Race Menu Utilities

  • []NPC Appearance Manager

    MANUAL INSTALL

    • []Install UE4SS, Race Menu Utilities and NPC Appearance Manager. Make sure to set up the NPC Appearance Manager properly according to the provided instructions;

      []Copy its contents into the OblivionRemastered\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\NPCAppearanceManager\NPC folder;

      []Enjoy!

      Due to the nature of the NPC Appearance Manager the mod is modular by default; if you prefer not to use a specific character's redesign, simply delete their associated file from the directory mentioned above!

      FEATURE LIST

      []Armand Christophe was given more realistic proportions while making him look a bit closer to his OG Oblivion incarnation, with added scruff for good measure.

      []Methredhel was one of the better faces in vanilla Oblivion, but the remastered version ended up on the generic side. Her new version restores her youthful vibe and charm. Watch out for that diary!

      []Amusei's design doesn't really stand out from the other Argonians, so his revamped version aims to portray a younger version of the lizard to reflect his lack of thieving skills. I thought it would be a fun touch to make him look a little bit like an albino lizard that would have trouble sticking to the shadows, since he seems to get caught so often!

      []S'krivva was made to look less generic and a little bit more cunning.

      []The Stranger is now closer to his vanilla Oblivion look. Not sure why Bethesda chose not to preserve his icy blue eyes, but they're back here!

      [*]Fathis Ules looks a little more scheming and business s

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Oblivion Data folder, but using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash is safer for easy uninstallation.
  • If you use other mods that alter Thieves Guild NPCs, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
  • Check the mod's readme or comments for any specific load order advice, though it's likely fine anywhere.
