📋 About This Mod

This mod overhauls 5 of the main female mages of the College of Winterhold. This is an attempt to make them a bit more attractive. I used ECE to create these NPCs.  This requires you to have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch installed.

Unlike my past mods, this is partially standalone.  I've included the Hair, Eyes and Eyebrows..  So this will use YOUR Body Type and Skin Textures.  I would recommend Mature skin if I had to choose but any will work.  This "works" with the vanilla skin textures, but you WILL have differences between the head and body tones.  This should not be an issue if you install your own skins.  I've tried 3 different skins for CBBE and none had tone differences between the head and body.

The following characters are touched:

Brelyna Maryon (Version 2. 0, removes her.  She was included in Bijin Warmaidens.  If you want my version, install version 1. 0 and make sure you overwrite Bijin and then place my mod below Warmaidens)

Colette Marence

Mirabelle Ervine

Nirya

Requirements (must be installed):

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch

Metalsabers Beautiful Mages of Skyrim overhauls five female mages from the College of Winterhold, making them more attractive using ECE. It includes hair, eyes, and eyebrows, but uses your body type and skin textures. Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. A popular cosmetic NPC mod with 488 endorsements.

✨ Key Features

Overhauls 5 female mages: Brelyna Maryon, Colette Marence, Faralda, Mirabelle Ervine, and Nirya.
Includes custom hair, eyes, and eyebrows, but uses your body type and skin textures.
Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.
Version 2.0 removes Brelyna Maryon to avoid conflict with Bijin Warmaidens; version 1.0 includes her with instructions to overwrite Bijin.
Works with vanilla skin textures but may cause head/body tone differences; recommended to use custom skins like Mature skin.
Tested with CBBE skins with no tone differences reported.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 488 endorsements and over 8,600 downloads.
  • Standalone hair and eyes mean you don't need extra mods for those assets.
  • Compatible with your body mod and skin texture choices, so it fits your setup.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
  • Version 2.0 drops Brelyna Maryon, so you miss out unless you use version 1.0 and manage load order carefully.
  • Potential head/body tone mismatch if you stick with vanilla skins, which could look off.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who want to prettify the College of Winterhold mages without changing their body or skin mods. If you're a fan of Bijin Warmaidens, you'll need to decide which Brelyna you prefer. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Easy· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch first, or the mod won't work.
  • If you use Bijin Warmaidens, install version 1.0 and place this mod below it in your load order to get Brelyna's new look.
  • Use a custom skin texture like Mature skin to avoid head/body color mismatches.
