The description below is copied from the original mod so the links in it will be pointing to oldrim mods, not SSE mods
Ladies of Whiterun
I've grown tired of making followers but love playing around in racemenu "what a great utility".
So I decided to do a character overhaul of just about every female character in Skyrim.
I'm gonna be releasing them by towns and some where along the way will release an all in one version.
A Big Thank You

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 477 endorsements and over 7,700 downloads, so it's a proven favorite.
- Uses your existing body meshes and textures, so it won't conflict with your body mod setup.
- Gives Whiterun's female NPCs a fresh, more detailed look with custom faces and hair.
⚠️ Cons
- The description warns against installing the Oldrim mods linked in the original description, which could confuse players and lead to broken setups.
- Requires several external mods (KS Hairdos, Eyes of Beauty, etc.) to work as intended, adding setup complexity.
- Only affects Whiterun NPCs, so you'll need other town overhauls if you want consistent changes across Skyrim.
For Skyrim Special Edition players who want to give Whiterun's female NPCs a visual upgrade without changing body types. If you're into NPC overhauls and don't mind installing a few prerequisite mods, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full-Skyrim overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have all the required mods installed before adding this one, or the NPCs might have missing hair or eyes.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file structure, and place this mod after your body mods in the load order.
- If you're on SSE, avoid downloading the Oldrim mods linked in the original description—stick to SSE versions of the requirements.
