📋 About This Mod
Edhildils Nightmother Corpse Author: Edhildil 07,23,2014 ver1
This is a simple replacer for the Nightmother corpse. This changes it to a sexy "sleeping" female instead of a withered corpse. Made especially for those who requested from me to make this mod. I made two versions, one with a skimpy linen outfit, and a nude version.
Update: added roped version now.
The wrist area of the texture is not perfect so let be, what be.
This is mostly just a silly mod but I thought some of you would like it.

The corpse wo'nt change if you use a mod that redirects the original mesh filepath.

For Skyrim players who want to change the Nightmother's appearance without messing with complex mods. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who wants a fresh look for this iconic character, this is a quick win.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no need to worry about load order.
- If you're using other mods that alter the Nightmother, check for conflicts; this mod replaces the same mesh.
- Make sure to have the original files backed up if you manually install, so you can revert if you don't like the look.
