PREREQUISITES

- .esp marked as .esl Install BEES if ONLY you're on SSE ver 1. 5. 97 & 1. 6. 659, without it you'll prolly have Black Face/Deformation into vanilla head

-  SkyPatcher ,added Skypatcher conversion (.ini) for maximum compatibility (Credits: Innendo)

It is what it is, just simply my personal archive of visual replacer for Lydia to make her look more distinguished from other NPCs.

This Replacer Utilizes High Poly Head-CotR with BNP Skin adaptation (2k in textures mostly)

if you're looking to change the hairstyles, you can probably just grab KS Hairdos non HDT Wigs or HDT-SMP Racemenu hair & wigs or any other favourite wigs mods to switch/swap to your liking anytime.

COMPATIBILITY

- This replacer WILL NOT be compatible with other Lydia's replacer obviously & make sure this replacer is loaded last to be sure.

- Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia Patch for Non-SkyPatcher users: Lydia DF - IFD Patch

Mods seen in the ss/recording: 

- Somewhere in Between

- Simply Realistic Armor & Weapons

- Weapons & Vanilla Armors Remastered - PBR

- FDE - Lydia

- Vanaheimr Landscapes

- Folkvangr

- Pelts 'o' Plenty - Fur Pelt Cloaks

- Elsopa Quiver Redone

- Azurite III CS

- Azurite Mists

- Immersive Equipment Displays

- Improved Alternate Conversation Camera

- ELLE - Kambi

- Asura's Guard

- SS are taken with Community Shaders specifically with Jiayev's Build (Community Shaders Discord) & Dlizzio's Azurite III CS with my own personal tonemapping

Apology if there's bad quality of it.

- Also Included Vanilla SS as usual still without Bloom for clearer face mesh details

Also feel free to share her SS in your game if you want to!
