This mod will change the appearances of Vex, Sapphire, Irileth, Rikke, Hulda, Lisette, Carlotta, Karliah, Tonilia, Adrianne, Ingun, Maven, Gerdur and Idgrod the younger. This Mod is STANDALONE which means no other Mods will be required. You can install them with no problem whatever body types(UNP or CBBE or Vanilla etc...) you are using. This mod is made as Fomod installer, so highly recommend to use a mod managers to install it.
I changed Irileth, Sapphire and Ingun's default face expressions to Natural from Disgusted because I didn't like that Disgusted expression always made their faces ugly. However I guess it seems these changes won't affect to them if you've already met them in your save like "Gender Animations" problem.
I changed Carlotta's weight to 80 from 0 (default) because her face and body were unbalanced and unattractive on the vanilla weigh. Her changed weight probably won't be applied just as it is so please use the following console commands.
Launch skyrim and open console Click Carlotta correctly Type "setnpcweight 80" (her face will be broken but ignore it) Type "disable" and "enable" Done
*You don't need to do these commands every time of update but these are needed every time when you start the new game.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 81,643 endorsements and 6.7 million downloads — this is one of the most popular NPC overhauls out there.
- Targets 14 key female NPCs, giving them a consistent visual upgrade that fits the game's aesthetic.
- Simple cosmetic mod: no gameplay changes, so it's safe to add to any load order without breaking quests.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — that's years ago, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE updates or other mods that touch the same NPCs.
- Only affects 14 NPCs, so if you want a full NPC overhaul, you'll need to combine it with other mods.
For Skyrim SE players who want to improve the look of key female NPCs without overhauling the entire game. If you're a completionist who cares about character aesthetics, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a comprehensive NPC overhaul — this is purely cosmetic and limited to a specific set of characters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only changes appearances, it's safe to install mid-playthrough, but make sure to save before installing to avoid any unexpected issues.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod and let it overwrite any conflicting textures for the affected NPCs.
- Check if you have other mods that alter the same NPCs (like AI overhauls or body mods) — load order matters, so place Bijin NPCs after those to ensure its changes take priority.
