📋 About This Mod

This version is now OUTDATED, and merged into my newest mod, and thus will no longer be supported

I started this mod because I love creating faces in racemenu, I've been told I'm not too bad at it, and since I can't play all of them at least this way I can see them in my game somehow! There are loads of amazing NPC replacers out there, but everyone has their own idea of how a unique character should look. These NPCs in particular I've overhauled all for various reasons; either I felt like none of the existing replacers quite fit the idea I had of them in my head, or because they simply needed some more love.

Some of the newer NPCs have included fancy High-Poly heads! The ones included are: Sheo, Aicantar, Temba, Olfina, Fralia, Heimskr, Calcelmo, Mirabelle. No, you do not have to download anything else; everything is included and should work out of the box. 

On to the main course:

Calcelmo and his nephew Aicantar. Calcelmo regrettably does not come with the cool goggles (maybe when I have more time).

Mercer Frey, with his trademark snarl.

Temba Wide-Arm. I wanted her to look a bit rough, a bit more like she has to deal with those damn bears all the time.

Heimskr. The overhaul you never knew you needed.

Mirabelle Ervine: She's quite hard to photograph in crappy college lighting, but I promise she looks lovely in game.

Our dear old Uncle Sheogorath. This version may  not be everyone's cup of tea, but I was tired of him looking like generic old guy with beard.

Fralia Grey-Mane: Fralia has a custom body and custom dress courtesy of the brilliant Kozakowy and his lovely 1660 Gown. I put a scarf on her to cover up the cleavage.

Olfina Grey-Mane. I just wanted her to look a bit more like mum.

Balimund, the Riften Blacksmith: Go to see him perform miracles of steel. He's way easier on the eyes now.

 

Jon Battle-Born: he's a babyfaced bard.

Alvor, the Riverwood Blacksmith: He deserve
