📋 About This Mod

I will not update this one.

One caveat to the use of this mod is that all of the data has characters whose hair penetrates hats and hoods.

If this is a concern, please use the newer replacement mod.

このMODの使用の注意点として、どのデータも髪の毛が帽子やフードを貫通するキャラクターが存在します。

Lein's Perhaps Realistic NPCs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is a replacement mod for almost all Skyrim uniquely named NPCs, about 750 people.

Since it is "almost" to the last, some characters have not been able to replace due to lack of power.

The lightweight version does not include Argonian, Kajito, Elder, or Child Replacement.

Most of the hairstyles are vanilla hair, and a small number of people have "SaLa Hair".

The Heavy Edition (AIO) also includes the replacement of the  Dark Brotherhood Festus Krex and Babette, and the Mages Guild Torfdir.

Please be aware that they will compete with other mods.

Some people will be "KS Hair".

The skin is environment dependent and will apply your skin.

Use your favorite skin mod.

However, some skins make women look quite different from the image, so the following skin mods are recommended.

・Fair Skin Complexion

・Bijin Skin UNP and CBBE SE

・The Pure CBBE and UNP - 4K or 8K Female Skin

・Asherz CBBE 4k Female Skin Replacer NUM 25

The options file can be used even if you have not downloaded the main file.

You can overwrite the lightweight version, or use it individually with other mods.

このMODはSkyrimの固有名前付きNPCほぼ全員、約750人のリプレイスMODです。

あくまで「ほぼ」なので、力不足でリプレイスできていないキャラクターもいます。

軽量版にはアルゴニアン、カジート、エルダー、子供のリプレイスは含まれていません。

髪型は、大体がバニラの髪、少人数が「SaLa Hair」になっています。

重量版(AIO)には闇の一党のフェスタスとバベット、魔術師ギルドのトルフディルのリプレイスも含まれています。

彼らは他のMODと競合すると思いますので、お気をつけください。

一部の人達が「KS Hair」になります。

スキンは環境依存で、あなたのものを適用します。

お好きなスキンMODを使用してください。

ただ、スキンによっては女性が画像とかなり違う顔になるので、以下のスキンMODがお勧めになります。

・Fair Skin Complexion

・Bijin Skin UNP and CBBE SE

・The Pure CBBE and UNP - 4K or 8K Female Skin

・Asherz CBBE 4k Female Skin Replacer NUM 25

オプションファイルは、メインファイルをダウンロードしていなくても使用できます。

軽量版に上書きしてもいいですし、個別で他のMODと一緒に使用しても大丈夫です。

Expressive Facegen Morphs SE

KS Hairdos SSE

Hallgarth's Additional (Vanilla) Hair SE

The Eyes Of Beauty SSE

Cherry's Eyes

SG Female Eyebrows

Better Females Eyebrows - Standalone
