📋 About This Mod
I am a fan of Nuska's Ethereal Elven Overhaul modification for Skyrim, but I was a bit dissapoitned that the mod was not compatible with the official DLCs, and a few of the bigger mods that add mer NPCs (Interesting NPCs, Inconsequential NPCs, Immersive Patrols, Extended towns and cities, etc.)
At first I intended to only use this for myself, but I've decided to upload it so other people can enjoy her work.
Dawnguard was easy to do, only a handfull (three in fact) elves to edit.
As you can imagine Dragonborn gave me a migrane, especially the few dozen or so varities of reavers, but I am pleased with the results.
As an optional file, I gave Irileth and Jenessa their warpaint back. The reason was that a few NPCs from the Interesting NPCs mod comment on their warpaint, namely Larkspur.
Of course the due credit for this wonderful Elven face Overhaul must be given to Nuska.
This mod requires her original mod. Do not forget to endorse her mod: Ethereal Elven Overhaul
Credits must also go to trilioth for resolving the conflicts in the Actor Records.
Install
First install nuska's original mod, then my main DLCs file, then my updated and cleaned plugin file. Replace when prompted. The rest of the files are optional patches for the other mods.Changes
