📋 About This Mod
Important note:
This replacer was made using COtR. COtR uses its own face textures for males and this means that there always be a slight neck seam or a bit unnatural transition between the neck and the body. I used pieces of Vitruvia face textures to 'blur' that transition and it's not as visible as before. This means that the recommended male texture replacer is Vitruvia. However, I also made an optional texture override with pieces of Swefrida's BnP male skin replacer, for people who use this mod (highly recommended, best male skin mod on Nexus IMO). It also blurs the texture difference between the neck and the body. Clear instructions on when or not to use this override are in the files section. There is also a patch for BWB's DLC.
Compatibility:
Probably highly incompatible with other Kaidan replacers. If you use a Kaidan NPC overhaul and want to keep other NPCs from that mod, make a patch in SSEEdit.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 382 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- ESL flagged, so it won't eat your plugin limit.
- Author includes a patch for BWB's DLC, so you don't have to fiddle with conflicts.
⚠️ Cons
- Highly incompatible with other Kaidan replacers, so you'll need to patch in SSEEdit if you use an NPC overhaul.
- Neck seam is still present, just less visible, so perfectionists might still notice it.
- The BnP skin override is optional but the mod is built around COtR, so you might need to switch your male skin mod to get the best look.
For Skyrim players who use Kaidan 2 and want a more polished, attractive look without changing his personality. It's perfect if you already use COtR or BnP and want a seamless integration. Skip if you're happy with Kaidan's default appearance or if you use other Kaidan overhauls that would conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use BnP male skin, grab the optional override from the files section to blur the neck seam better.
- Make sure to load this replacer after Kaidan 2 and any other mods that touch his face, or you'll get conflicts.
- If you use other Kaidan overhauls, you'll need to create a patch in SSEEdit to merge them, so plan accordingly.
