📋 About This Mod
High Poly Head conversion of the main version of Faithful Faces.
UNLIKE THE MAIN VERSION, THIS MOD DOES NOT HAVE PATCHLESS COMPATIBILITY WITH AI OVERHAUL AND OTHER NPC ALTERING MODS, DUE TO THE NATURE OF HIGH POLY HEAD.
Creation Club HERE
Mod added NPCs HERE
3000+ NPCs covered, 2400 of which support hair physics
Expressive Face and High Poly Head
High Poly Hair with SMP support
Fixed Orc Mouths
1k Facetint
Hard Requirements
High Poly Head (esm is master)
Faster HDT-SMP with SMP NPC Crash Fix if on 1. 6 (Even if you don't want physics, you will need FSMP installed to avoid CTDs)
Vanilla Hair Remake (SMP version main file, for the xmls - this mod will work without it, you just won't have physics)
Soft Requirements (to look like screenshots):
Expressive Facial Animations
Skin Retexture (I use BnP)
Hair Retexture (I recommend Salt and Wind)
Eyes retexture (I use Eyes of Beauty)
Since this mod requires NPC patches unlike the main version, I recommend the use of EasyNPC to easily patch your load order with this (and any other NPC overhauls). Unlike the main version, this mod also does not support Closed Orc Mouths since that mod does not support High Poly Head + EFM.
Faithful Faces - High Poly Head is a cosmetic mod for Skyrim that applies high-poly head meshes and hair physics to every NPC in the game. With 450 endorsements and over 37,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking visual fidelity without overhauling the entire game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 450 endorsements and over 37k downloads.
- One mod covers all NPCs, so no need to patch individual characters.
- Enhances visual quality without changing gameplay or quests.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires High Poly Head as a dependency, which may not be installed by default.
- Potential conflicts with other NPC overhaul mods that alter head meshes.
- Hair physics can be performance-intensive on lower-end systems.
For Skyrim players who want a unified visual upgrade for all NPCs without manually editing each one. If you're already using High Poly Head and want to extend it to every character, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly overhauls or have a weak PC that can't handle extra physics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have High Poly Head installed first, as this mod builds on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid overwriting other NPC mods.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after other NPC overhauls to avoid conflicts.
