📋 About This Mod
Hi everyone! Heres the release of my Better Females mod. Note this mod is a replacer and will replace any current face mods installed. This mod replaces default female face texture lips eyebrows and eye make up with a more improved high rez version. It will apply to your female character and all NPCs. I hope you like it! If you think they are too smooth I recommend No More Blocky Faces by Xenius. Just install AFTER this mod :) NOTE This mod is not for everyone! If you do not like glamazons you will not like this mod :) Install -------- Extract content of the file to your Skyrim data folder and you are good to go! This Mod Includes ---------------------- High rez face textures for all female humanoid races ( 2048 x 2048) Improved lips Improved eye makeup Optional files and Updates ---------------------------------- The current main file fixes the shininess and lip colour and tinkmask problem for previous versions. No other files required for this. Note all optional file are replacers!!! Install after main file! Less Makeup version removes most make up from face for less of a \"glam\" look. This is for people who like the mod but want a more natural look. Makeup version 1 is in between less make up and the original version. This is for people who like the mod that like the makeup but wish it wasn\'t as noticeable. Makeup version 2 Adds a little more colour to the face and paler lips Makeup version 3 adds darker and fuller eyelashes and paler lips Makeup version 4 Is for people who are not shy of makeup or colour. It adds more blush and brightens lips. This version is not for everyone :) No shine Removes most all shine from face. Licensing/Legal -------------------- Since I\'m always getting flooded with permission request and I can not get back to you all in time, I am now giving users from the Nexus permission to use my work in their mods as long as you give me proper credit for my work and the mod is only going to be uploaded on the Nexus websites if it is going to be uploaded else where please notify me before doing so :) Credits --------- thank you to Danariel and Xenius for the new lipstick tintmask. You are amazing thank you!!! Personal Notes ------------------- I want to give a huge thank you to all my supporters you guys keep me going :) WIPS Better males is on its way, and once the creation kit is released I will be porting over my races from oblivion to skyrim then god knows what will happen lol I would also like to say that I made this mod originally for myself then thought others might enjoy it as well. So I am giving you the option of downloading it which I do with most all of my work. With that being said this mod is tailored to my style and not necessarily everyone else. This is my art some might love it and some might absolutely hate it and that\'s understandable. I\'m not saying this is how females HAVE to look and I\'m not saying they

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and overwrite when prompted.

- Check if you have other texture mods that might conflict—this replaces the same files, so load order matters.
