📋 About This Mod
NEW INFORMATION
Any new mods that I create for the "High Poly NPC Overhaul" series will require the new version of High Poly Head (1. 04).
My old mods that were created using the v1. 03 head seem to still work fine after updating.
I will probably update a few of those mods to the new version at some point, but it is not high on my priority list right now.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 549 endorsements and over 24k downloads.
- Fills a niche gap by improving the looks of LOTD-specific NPCs.
- Lightweight appearance mod that doesn't touch gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest LOTD versions.
- Requires the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod, which is a heavy dependency.
- Potential conflicts with other NPC overhauls that edit the same characters.
For Skyrim players who use Legacy of the Dragonborn and want its NPCs to look better without changing gameplay. If you don't use LOTD, this mod is irrelevant. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or vanilla-style appearances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Legacy of the Dragonborn installed and activated before adding this mod.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order automatically.
- If you use other NPC overhauls, place this mod after them in your load order to ensure its changes take effect.
