📋 About This Mod

I'll be honest with you, I'm not a fan of sharing individual Racemenu presets as its own mod--would prefer to just slap it as an optional file to some other bigger mods. I don't get the appeal of dedicating an entire mod page for a single .json file and a list of cosmetic mod recommendations. So I thought, if I want to share these, might as well include multiple face presets to make it worth your time. So here they are.

Some of the presets are inspired by Dragon Age (lore friendly according to Elder Scrolls standards? I have no fecking idea. It IS lore friendly in my book, but your mileage may vary). I'm also including some face presets from my replacer and follower mods in case you want them.

No, I'm NOT taking screenshots of 40+ presets. Check out the mods below if you want to see how the characters look like.

Allies of the Inquisition

Thieves Guild

Dark Brotherhood

Diplomatic Immunity

Daedric Princes

VIGILANT NPCs Refined

Check out my previous preset pack for other characters not included here (like Alistair).

Zevran has his preset as an optional file.

Hard requirements:

Charmers of the Reach

CotR - Facepart Addons (technically your game won't implode if it's not installed, but default CotR textures will look meh and not as good on the presets.)

CotR Overhaul

High Poly CotR (some heads are sculpted, like Sera's, Riasyd's, and potentially a few others. If you try to brute-force them into low poly CotR they might end up looking terrifying.)

Soft requirements (hairs, makeup, freckles, eyes, tintmasks--if you don't have them the game will just swap them for something else):

Holiday Gift Hairdos

HG Hairdos 2

BnP and Khisartin Eye Pack - CotR Patch and its prerequisites

Koralina's Face Details for CotR

Human Headparts on CotR Elves

Horns Aplenty

Dragon Age Vallaslin for CotR

Skin Feature Overlays SE

Racemenu Warpaints Tattoo Patch to enable selecting CotR tintmasks as Racemenu overlays, allowing you to use female tattoos on male characters and vice versa.

Individual soft requirements:

SC - Hairstyles (for Morrigan's hair--LE mod, port it to SE yourself with CAO)

High Poly Hair and Vanilla hair remake

Apachii Sky Hair Male (for Niruin's hair)

Beards of Power (for Galmar's glorious mane)

SV Beards for CotR (High Poly CotR has a patch for it)

Included with the mod--not strictly required:

[*]HG Hairdos 2 esp replacer that enables some female hairstyles for males and male hairstyles for females, hides some of the really weird hairs, and separates some accessories into the "scar" category, and;
