📋 About This Mod

- 500+ NPC are given KS Hairdos Hair

- 75+ NPCs are given a unique look (Main quest NPCs, Some Merchants, Side quest NPCs)

 

Unique Female looks are based on Bijin Warmaidens

Unique Males are in some cases based on Males of Skyrim

I didn't change some of the NPCs that looked pretty good without meddling

(like Arantheal, Constantine, Sirius or Aged Man for example).

I did change Bandits, Highwayman and Citizens and many others non-consequential NPCs.

SSE VERSION - HERE

REQUIREMENTS

KS Hairdos Renewal

Since version 1. 7 mod becomes standalone and KS Haidos is not required.

But you need to check if SKSE.ini (Data/SKSE/SKSE.ini) has these lines, if not - add it.

iTintTextureResolution=2048

So you can see high resolution tints for Unique NPCs.

In Enderal Launcher

Settings > Details > Textures

Set textures to High

(or it will cause issues with some NPCs)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

(BUT NOT REQUIRED)

Bijin Skin - skin for females LE & SE (absolute gorgeous one for realistic look, seamless with body)

or SG Female Textures Renewal - skin for females (clean and young look, stronger makeup)

Fine Face Textures for Men - face skin for males for LE

If we're talking SE - Tempered Skin (absolute best, seamless with body too)

Brows & Beards

(if you don't want additional ones, no need for esps)

INSTALLATION

Drop Texture and Meshes folders in Data folder.

MANUAL: Pls use any mod manager, don't do manual.

I don't wanna pack it, 'cause if you want to remove NPC that you don't like it's easier done with loose files.

NMM or Mod Organizer: Click the “Download with Manager” button and activate the mod to initialize the installer. Make sure to move .esp file at the bottom of the load order.

It could be uninstalled safely (if you used any mod manager).

It won't break anything.

Uninstall the main file with NMM or Mod Organizer.

INCOMPATIBILITY

Mods that change Enderal NPCs.

The mod will still work, just place the looks you want lo

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge visual upgrade for a fraction of the effort (1,818 endorsements).
  • No ESP means it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order.
  • Flexible install options let you pick exactly what you want.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2021 — might not be compatible with the latest Enderal patches.
  • Only changes hair for 500+ NPCs, not full body or face overhauls.
  • Requires KS Hairdos as a dependency, which isn't included.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Enderal players who want their NPCs to look more distinct and polished without heavy modding. If you're tired of generic faces and want a quick visual refresh, this is for you. Skip if you want gameplay changes or if you're on a version newer than 2021.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have KS Hairdos installed first, or the hair will show up as missing textures.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the install options cleanly.
  • If you're on a newer Enderal version, test in a small area first to check for compatibility issues.
