📋 About This Mod

(Update April 4th, 2025--I posted a replacer mod for Glenmoril's 19 NPCs on my Dreamwidth that is basically a continuation of this mod. Couldn't post it to Nexus yet because my internet connection is being a jerk. Take a look if you're interested.)

Something I did out of boredom.

Changes the appearance of Brandt, Ozwald, and Romion (the three main dudes of Glenmoril) using CotR assets. Face only. No body or armor changes. You don't need CotR installed to get this to work.

Also added a few more perks to Brandt (Hack and Slash rank 1, Armsman rank 2, Shield Wall rank 4 and Agile Defender rank 4)--makes him slightly tankier for those of us who play with combat mods.

FOR GLENMORIL SE VERSION 0. 95. 50.r1 (the latest version as of August 25th 2023). I don't know whether this will work on any other versions--if you want to try, go ahead, but don't come yelling at me if something doesn't work or your save gets borked.

If Glenmoril gets updated in the future, wait for me to test in game to see if my replacer is still working. I'll fix/update accordingly if it doesn't.

(would you look at that, the mod gets updated right after I publish this. Still works, thankfully. If you're updating Glenmoril manually and want to avoid overwriting facegen files, you could simply reinstall Glenmoril, then reinstall my mod (say yes if it asks to overwrite). Mod manager users should be fine.)

Questions someone will probably ask in the future:

- I don't like this, I don't like that. Too ugly, too uncanny-valley, too (insert adjective here). Don't use this mod then.

- Compatible with Glenmoril - NPC Overhaul? Yes, if you let this mod load below that, and overwrite any facegen files from that mod with the ones from this mod.

- Black face bug! As with any NPC replacer, make sure you've installed everything correctly. Reinstall the mod if you're not sure. Pull the esp to the very last of your load order as a last resort. Make sure you didn't accidentally overwrite my facegen files with the original ones from Glenmoril (if you're doing a manual install, for example), or with the aforementioned NPC Overhaul.

Note: If you're experiencing black face bug, DO NOT USE Face Discoloration Fix (their heads will turn invisible). This is because I didn't actually include any assets from KS Hairdos or Charmers of the Reach, only the tri files. Don't mess with their head morphs in CK either--I use Racemenu to sculpt their faces, not the in-game sliders. If you get black face bug on any of these three NPCs, sort out your load order.

- Their face textures don't match their bodies! Well yes, because I didn't package any body textures. Since these NPCs are fully clothed from the neck down
