📋 About This Mod
Update 3. 0
This update includes the following changes:
-
[]More Body Normal Maps - I have added Natural and Strong body normal maps (for a total of four including the Soft and Muscular).[/]
[]More Face Diffuse Textures - I've added two more face textures. Hardened and aging.[/]
[]More Face Normal Maps - A mature normal map for the face was added.[/]
Records were made to allow me to use the above features in the plugin for the asset pack. Some old records were removed.
Note: Although this was tested, and 99% of all Visions mod should have no issue with this update, there may be some very early Visions mods that need a patch. Let me know if you run into and issues and I'll patch them quickly.Update 2. 3
Combines all the previous updates into the main archive of each body type, doing away with having to grab a separate update patch. Also fixes the problem with the head normal map not having a symmetrical eye socket. Replace previous version completely when installing.
Update 2. 2
This is a small update meant to be applied to 2. 1. It is not a main file and not meant to replace 2. 1, but to add to it. Those of you removing 2. 1 to install the update are basically removing most the assets you need in the asset pack and the plugin as well. Install the update by adding the files to 2. 1 (with MO2 that means use the merge feature). This update basically adds a couple textures to make the lips look better.
Update 2. 1
Why do this to us Cold?! Because I'm a perfectionist and I want these Visions mods to be my best work. That said, visual changes are subjective right? I know a lot of people don't even use Visions and prefer my old Pantheon or ColdSun's World designs (even know they are technically not built as well as my Visions mods). This update to the Asset Pack marks a major change in the assets due to using a different skin. At this point, it is important to remember any of the Visions mods updated on or after 6/4/2024 will require Asset Pack version 2. 1+.
Also, keep in mind that when you update the asset pack, all followers and replacers that use it will use these new assets (skins).
[*]The new default skin for Visions is no

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 5,068 endorsements and 761k downloads.
- Works with both major body types (3BA/CBBE and BHUNP/UNP) so you're covered either way.
- ESL-flagged means no plugin slot wasted — perfect for load order hoarders.
⚠️ Cons
- It's just an asset pack — no actual NPC changes until you grab the Visions mods themselves.
- Last updated July 2026 — could be outdated if the game patches after that.
For Skyrim modders who plan to use ColdSun's Visions NPC overhauls and want a solid base that respects their body mod choice. Skip if you're not interested in the Visions series or prefer all-in-one NPC overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a body mod installed (3BA/CBBE or BHUNP/UNP) before adding this pack, or the skins won't apply correctly.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other Visions mods helps with organization.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install this — it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager makes it easier to uninstall later.
