📋 About This Mod
Now available for Skyrim Special Edition
Sweet Rolls, Mead, Pies, Red Meat.... yeah, the average Nord's diet doesn't exactly match up with his physic. 8UQNIhDI-f8 Thanks to Shinji72 for video.
This mod will add several Fat NPCs to Skyrim. Some are existing NPCs, others are new. Bandit and Forsworn camps now feature Fat NPCs as well. All feature a new "Fat Bastard" body mesh, and clothes/armors that have been converted to fit. Each new NPC has been placed by hand, meaning no level list have been altered.
Existing NPCs have only had their apperances altered, nothing more. This mod does not affect your PC in any way, your installed meshes/textures will remain untouched. Since NPCs were outfitted/placed by hand, no elders/children will appear as fat, also this prevents entire camps of fat bandits/forsworn.
The converted clothes/armors are marked as playable, so they can be worn by your PC, however they are not intended to be, so you may noticed issues. So far about 20 NPCs are included in the mod, I will update it to add more.
Also, if you enjoy this mod mod please endorse, it's the only I know if I should continue to support a mod

Some other mods you may enjoy:
A humorous Skyrim mod that adds overweight NPCs to the game, inspired by the question 'Where do Sweet Rolls go?' With 1,213 endorsements and nearly 20,000 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic overhaul for players seeking a more diverse and comedic Tamriel. Last updated in 2014, so compatibility with current versions is uncertain.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,213 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads
- Adds a fun, lighthearted twist to NPC appearances
- Simple cosmetic mod that doesn't overhaul gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 – may not work with the latest Skyrim version or Special Edition
- Only affects NPC appearance, so no new quests or mechanics
For Skyrim players who want a chuckle and a more diverse population. If you're tired of the same skinny NPCs and want a bit of comedic realism, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you're playing on a newer version without compatibility patches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install – it's a simple file drop.
- Check if the mod is compatible with your Skyrim version (Oldrim vs Special Edition) – since it's from 2014, it may need a conversion.
- Load order doesn't matter much for cosmetic mods, but place it after any NPC overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
