📋 About This Mod
ABOUT
A simple replacer for the male and female Dark Brotherhood initiates. Both of them use whatever body and skin you have installed. Warpaint/tattoo options are included in the installer.
SPECIAL EDITION
COMPATIBILITY
Technically incompatible with any mod that changes the appearance of the initiates, but works just fine with them as long as it is loaded after those mods. USLEEP edits are included so no patch is needed, but I have left one edit untouched on purpose. Forwarding that edit into this mod would require USLEEP as a dependency. You can forward it yourself if you wish but it's an unimportant edit that is safe to leave out.
INSTALLATION & REQUIREMENTS
Install using a mod manager of your choice or manually drag and drop the files into your data folder.
FAQ
Q: Can you add/change/remove something?
A: Not unless there is an actual problem with my mod. This is my vision and I'm happy with it. I will absolutely not make any special versions for strangers on the internet. Please keep in mind that I do this for free and I have other things to do with my time than cater to other people's specific tastes.
Q: An NPC is naked!
A: That will happen if an NPC's outfit has been edited on an existing save game, and in this mod I have removed the masked hoods on both NPCs. It's easily fixed by opening the console, targeting the naked NPC and using the resetinventory command. This is not a problem on new saves. You can easily add the hoods back in xEdit or the Creation Kit if you like, but I will not provide a hooded version.
Q: Help, they don't look right!
A: Rearrange your load order, put this mod near the bottom, or reinstall. Take a look at your load order to see if any of your other mods might be incompatible with this one. Feel free to ask for help in the comments, but please save us both some time and do some troubleshooting on your own first! Also keep in mind that these NPCs use the skin texture you have installed, and if you don't have one then they will look as haggard as everyone else.
Q: Can you make a patch for mod X?
A: No, but anyone else is welcome to crea
