📋 About This Mod
SSE VERSION NOW AVAILABLE thanks to Qwinn!
This is a large-scale aesthetic overhaul, currently covering 220+ characters,
for Kris Takahashi's legendary mod Interesting NPCs. Most were given new hairstyles from Apachii SkyHair and more detailed face tints. Some got new outfits as well.
ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED FOREVER:
APACHII SKY HAIR
WITH both of the up-to-date Male & Female hair packs
Main version 1. 6+, Female Hair 1. 5+, Male Hair 1. 2+ ALL REQUIRED
Your game will crash horribly without ALL THREE of these files!
Note: This mod took a long time to make!
When I started work on it, there were NO aesthetic overhauls for Interesting NPCs available.
Between when I started it and when I finished it, two others have been released.
If you don't like what I did here, please try THIS ONE or THIS ONE.
I may or may not expand this mod in the future.
Feel free to request updates to characters I did not cover yet, if you feel they deserve attention.
Please do not ask me to make changes to characters I already covered; I would react with hostility.
