Fresh Faces

Fresh Faces

An NPC renewal project

( Oldrim version available here )

This mod changes the appearance of some female NPCs. It's designed to be relatively lightweight and compatible with other NPC mods, with multiple install options and the option to use it without any .esp plugin at all. You could use this mod with a completely Vanilla game and it would work perfectly.

As of right now, this alters the appearance of the following NPCs:

Aela the Huntress

Beleval (Dawnguard DLC)

Borgakh the Steel Heart

Brelyna Maryon

Dravynea the Stoneweaver

Elisif the Fair

Frea (Dragonborn DLC)

Ghorza gra-Bagol

Jordis the Sword-Maiden

Lynly Star-Sung

Mirabelle Ervine

Mjoll the Lioness

Rayya (Hearthfires DLC)

Sybille Stentor

Viola Giordano

I may add more later on if I make them :)

Requirements

This mod has absolutely no requirements.

This mod does not affect the skin/face textures or meshes used by these NPCs, meaning they will use whatever meshes and textures you have installed in your game. Nifty, right? If you want them to look exactly like my screenshots, you can download my skin textures in the optional downloads section, but it's not required.

Installation

I strongly recommend installing this with NMM. It's a scripted fomod installer that has all the options packaged and will sort of help you through the installation process. Mod Organizer users ... I'm not exactly sure how MO handles overwrites and/or priorities when it comes to installing stuff, so you're a little bit on your own there. I'm assuming it's basically the same but I do not know for sure.

Here's the long and short of it:

If you're not using any mods that change the appearances of these NPCs, you may choose the 'No plugin' option.

If you're using mods that change the appearances of any of these NPCs, you have two options:

1. You can choose the 'No plugin' option, and when NMM asks if you want to overwrite the other mod(s) meshes, say no. This means that NPCs that are already being changed by your other mod(s) will not be affected by this mod at all. Ethereal Elven Overhaul is an exception to this rule, you can override EEO meshes without using a plugin.

2. You can choose any of the plugin options (depending on what DLC you're using), and when NMM asks if you want to overwrite the other mod(s) meshes, say yes. This means that
