📋 About This Mod
~ Real Delphine ~
This version is now included in my newest mod, and thus will no longer be supported
I've redone Delphine the way I've always wanted to make her (almost, at least). She is not young, but she is not decrepit. She is capable, determined, but tired, and concerned about this whole dragonborn business. I've loosely based her off of Kate Winslet's character in Mare of Easttown.
She uses default skin texture paths, which means she will use whatever skin mod you have installed, and her complexion is set to BretonFemaleAge50. I have changed her weight to 100 from 50, so if you install her mid-game it's likely you will see a neck gap; click on her in the console, type setnpcweight 100. At that point she'll have a black face, just save and reload and that should fix it. Or, just ignore the neck seam. She's designed for Expressive Facial Animations although she does not require it. She is ESL flagged and won't take up a slot in your load order.
I HIGHLY recommend visiting DDS Workshop for Skin, Eyes, and Teeth and consider becoming a patron. Her ALT2 skin mod is what I am using for these photos and in my own personal game, where you can give every race different texture maps. It makes such a big difference in your game!
At request, I have included my racemenu preset file for her, however I cannot guarantee that it will turn out exactly like this (or, even a little like this). Because of the way racemenu works and because of how my own personal mod structure is set up, formIDs will probably be different and you will probably have the wrong hair and brows loaded, at least. I can tell you that the hair is Revere, and the eyebrows are 02. You will need these mods at minimum in order to make it work: High Poly Head, Expressive Facegen Morphs, Lamenthia's Marks of Beauty, KS Hair, and ALT1 Facial hair available at www.ddsworkshop.net.
Please feel free to upload your photos of her!

Thank you to all:
Vector Plexus High Poly Head and Expressive Facegen Morphs which gives character creation so many more subtle options for an even greater variety of looks.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (1,509 endorsements, 120k downloads)
- ESL flag means it won't eat your load order slots
- Gives Delphine a fresh, recognizable look without changing her character
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Delphine, so if you want a full NPC overhaul, this is just one piece
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
- High-poly models can impact performance on lower-end systems
For Skyrim players who want a more realistic Delphine, especially fans of Kate Winslet or Mare of Easttown. If you're doing a visual overhaul of NPCs and want a standout Delphine, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete NPC makeover.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other NPC overhauls helps avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; no manual file placement needed.
- Check if you have other mods that alter Delphine's appearance—this mod should be loaded after them to take effect.
