A Huge Thank You to the Nexus Community for placing Grandiose Giants among the top Hot Mods!

[ [ [ MOD DESCRIPTION ] ] ]

If you're like me and have been disappointed with the vanilla Giants, then this mod is for you.  This mod replaces the vanilla Giant skeleton with a new custom skeleton meant to give the Giants of Skyrim a more intimidating and hardier

 appearance. Working within the confines of the vanilla mesh, I re-proportioned the limbs, the head and made several subtle changes to the Giants, and the result is a Giant that will test your courage, intimidate and immerse you even more into the world of Skyrim. This affects all Giants in Skyrim.

! ! ! Seeing is believing ! ! !

Combat, kill moves and animations still work perfectly!
