📋 About This Mod

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE AUTHOR

UPDATED WITH:

  • []FavoredSoul compatible male face textures []Freckles texture for male characters. REPLACER FOR ROUGH SKIN TEXTURE! []Less shiny skin textures. []DIMONIZED UNP Body compatible textures. []Almazi Smooth Females compatible face texture. []SundraconMeshes compatible face textures for males []Textures with less wrinkles for male Imperials and Bretons
ALL COMPATIBILITY FILES ARE TESTED WITH NO ENB SETTINGS. So if you use any ENB my textures in your game will look different and may not yeld good results. VERSION 3. 0 Hopefully, my last global update. :D

Includes:

  • [] Brighter Eye Area texture for ladies [] Completely new texture for men [] Reworked normals for all (including old folk), more detailed (thanx to Geonox for great tips) [] Eyeliner and lips tint masks [] Better freckles for ladies [] Less rough texture for the rough complexion option for ladies [] Wild Eyebrows Begone Lighter version by default with optional Darker and Higher versions.
HISTORY OPTIONAL TEXTURES

Done as a request for Nashsafc.

BRIGHTER EYE AREA texture.

More sleep, less make up look, haha! :D There's also a minor change in the lips (I removed the symmetrical lines in the middle) and nose.

WILD EYEBROWS BEGONE!

Replacement textures for eyebrows for both genders. There is a couple of bushy eyebrows for females included, they look cute sometimes. ;) You can choose between the original version and the lighter one which provides a better colour match with the hair (and if the hair is dark, the eyebrows will also be dark.). Additionally, there's a higher sitting eyebrows version of the original (darker) textures.

UPDATE 2. 1:

  • []Minor change in the base female face texture (that seam on the forehead annoyed me :) ) []New eyeliner tint masks for females and males. Now ladies look like they actually know how to apply eye make up. For men, it's just less visible. []New freckles texture for females. Now their skin doesn't look irritated just because it's freckled. The pigmentation is rather light and cute.
Version 2. 0 includes:
  • []All new photorealistic male and female face texture []Specular maps for males and females []Smoothed out normal maps
  • Lip tint masks for males and females
And I think I'm done with the basic character faces tweaking. :) I'm pretty happy with the way they look now. Can put that Mara amulet on now! Haha! :D______________________

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the textures in your Skyrim Data folder, or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 for easy installation and removal.
  • This mod only affects humanoid faces — if you want matching textures for Khajiit and Argonians, look for complementary mods.
  • Since it's an older mod, check if you have any other face texture mods that might conflict; load order usually doesn't matter for textures, but overwrite order does.
