📋 About This Mod
Aaren is a very young and inexperienced young Nord, but he will do his best to get the job done as the Dragonborn.
_______________________________________________
I used COtR-HQ Characters Creation Add-on for Racemenu (formerly Charmers of the Reach) to create Aaren.
Important, please make sure your setting for race is (Human Race) DZ
(I have tested Aaren out on all HUMAN races in COtR and he works fine for me, so if you want to use him as a Breton, set the race to Breton DZ. Just make sure 'DZ' is after the human race)
My images use Silent Horizons ENB with Cathedral Weathers.
Your images will vary depending on your ENB or if you even use one.
_______________________________________________
Vitruvia Skin Texture for Males - (HIGHLY recommended) I had to use it for COtR to prevent neck seam since the face uses the same texture.

Please feel free to share your images! I would love to see what you do with Aaren.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 250 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads.
- Author provides clear instructions on race settings and required mods to avoid neck seams.
- Includes a list of recommended mods for hair, armor, and weapons to complete the look.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires COtR-HQ Characters Creation Add-on and Vitruvia Skin Texture, so it's not a standalone preset.
- Last updated in July 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or RaceMenu versions.
- Some recommended mods (like HG Hairdo's) are hosted on NSFW sites, which may be inconvenient for some users.
For Skyrim players who want a specific, youthful male Nord appearance for their Dragonborn and are already using COtR or willing to install it. This is purely cosmetic, so skip if you're looking for gameplay changes. Best for those who enjoy character creation and want a ready-made face preset.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to set your character's race to the 'DZ' variant (e.g., Nord DZ) in RaceMenu, or the preset may not work correctly.
- Install Vitruvia Skin Texture before applying the preset to avoid a visible neck seam.
- If you use SOS or other body mods, grab Katoffel's COtR Custom Male Body Patch to prevent conflicts.
