📋 About This Mod
Smaref Ice Blade is a child from the Creation Club's The Gray Cowl Returns. He was used in a ploy to transfer the clan's land away from them and was left orphaned, after his mother was assassinated. He now lives in the Riften, ignorant to the fact that he is the true heir of the Clan Ice-Blade.
He will only show up at the end of the quest, when his uncle shows up to bring Smaref back to High Rock to restore their titles.
This mod changes his looks to be more consistant with the other children from SkyChild.

Unistallation
This mod alters the appearance of Smaref Ice Blade, a child from the Creation Club quest The Gray Cowl Returns, to match the visual style of the SkyChild mod. It requires both SkyChild and the CC content, and must be loaded after them. A small, focused cosmetic tweak for players who want consistent child appearances.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with SkyChild, so if you're already using it, this fills a gap for that one CC kid.
- Simple install: just drop it in and set the load order right, no extra patches needed.
- Small but dedicated following (171 endorsements) shows it works for the people who care about child appearance consistency.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one NPC, so if you're not using SkyChild or don't care about Smaref, it's pointless.
- Requires both the Creation Club content and SkyChild, so it's not for everyone.
- Potential load order conflicts if you have other mods that touch Smaref or Riften children—test carefully.
For Skyrim players who use SkyChild and want every child, including the CC-added ones, to look uniform. If you're not into child appearance overhauls or don't own The Gray Cowl Returns, skip it—this is purely cosmetic and niche.
💡 Beginner Tips
- In your mod manager, make sure this mod is placed after SkyChild and the CC file in the load order—right-click and drag if needed.
- If you're on PC, use LOOT to sort your load order automatically, then manually verify this mod is below the required ones.
- Check that you actually own The Gray Cowl Returns from the Creation Club before installing, or the mod won't have anything to change.
