📋 About This Mod
BB'S DARK BROTHERHOOD
A lore-friendly overhaul for the Dark Brotherhood NPCs.
Full version, or you can find men/women only versions under optional files.
Covers all the main NPCs including the initiates at the end of the questline.
However
Babette is not yet included due to having some issues with her showing up reliably in-game. She will be added later.
Veezara is unchanged in appearance but is given a high poly head version.
The radiant quest givers/targets will be added with a later update.
Included are skin details, scars, hairs, and eyes.
However this mod will use the base skin and base body that you have installed.
PATCHES (RBT, USSEP & THE BROTHERHOOD OF OLD) CAN BE FOUND HERE

DISCLAIMER:
It will not break your game to install this mod mid-save, but it can cause some issues depending on what mods you have have/had installed and your modding habits. These issues are fixable with a bit of tinkering. But if you are not confident, it may be best to start a new game.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 871 endorsements and over 424k downloads
- Standalone, so no dependency headaches
- Lore-friendly, keeps the Dark Brotherhood vibe intact
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates

For Skyrim players who want their Dark Brotherhood assassins to look better without straying from lore. If you're into visual overhauls and don't mind a mod that's been around for a while, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or need the latest compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's standalone, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager.
- Check if you have other mods that alter the same NPCs to avoid conflicts.
- Load order usually doesn't matter for standalone overhauls, but placing it after other appearance mods can help.
