📋 About This Mod
Riften Docks Overhaul is a great mod that adds a bunch of new NPCs, however, the existing high poly heads patch keeps vanilla hair and has unmodified zeroed face morphs leading to very blocky looking NPCs. This mod aims to fix that.
What does it do?
Gives the NPCs added by Riften Docks Overhaul an appearance overhaul with high poly heads and apachii sky hair (as vanilla hair is ugly). I've taken screenshots of what they look like. ESL flagged.
Installation/Uninstallation
It should be safe to install/uninstall at any time. Simply download the mod and install it with your favourite mod manager.
Conflicts
As far as I know no other mod edits or overhauls the same NPCs so should be compatible with everything.
Known Issues
None :) Enjoy
