📋 About This Mod

◈ A complete overhaul of Lucien added by Joseph Russell's mod.
◈ Choose between six different hairstyles for Lucien; and choose from two different face types.
◈ Custom Lucien body textures that fit SOS Full, SOS Light, or Vanilla bodies. Lucien will use whichever body mod is installed by the player; this is why there are multiple options.
◈ ESL-Flagged! This doesn't add to your .esp limit.
◈ This mod changes Lucien's weight from 0 to 25. If you install this mod mid-playthrough, you will notice a neck gap between Lucien's head and body. To fix this, do the following steps:
1. Open the console by pressing the "~" key, to the left of the "1" key.
2. Click on Lucien.
3. Type the command: setnpcweight 25
4. Hit enter. This will cause his face to "break" but don't panic!
5. Type the command: disable
6. Hit enter.
7. Type the command: enable
8. Hit enter.
9. You're finished! Close the console by pressing the "~" key again and continue playing!
◈ Major credit goes to Joseph Russell for creating Lucien in the first place.
◈ This mod wouldn't be possible without the hard work of these amazing mod authors and their creations!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 821 endorsements and nearly 60k downloads
- Regularly updated, so it's likely kept in sync with the base mod
- Simple cosmetic enhancement that doesn't mess with gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Lucien's look, so if you want more NPC overhauls, this is narrow
- Requires the original Lucien mod, so it's not standalone
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Lucien's appearance
For Skyrim players who use Lucien as a follower and want a visual refresh. If you're not using Lucien or prefer vanilla looks, this isn't for you. It's purely cosmetic, so skip if you want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Lucien mod installed first, as this overhaul depends on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other appearance mods.
- Check the mod's load order to ensure it loads after Lucien to apply the changes correctly.
