Metalsabers Elegant Elves of Skyrim

This mod is an overhaul of the Elves of Skyrim.  I didn't touch the ones from the Bijin mod series.  This mod includes new facegen/facetint data.  It includes hair as well.   This mod will use YOUR skin textures.  I've also updated a few of the characters outfits to non-hooded versions.  Most everything else was left alone including weights/heights, skin/hair colors.

• []NOTE: This does use your skin and eye textures, you should install a quality female skin texture pack (higher res is always better).  You should also install an eye mod that replaces the vanilla elf eye textures.  To get the full benefit of the mod, you should really have an ENB installed to really bring out the skin textures.

  []NOTE: This duplicates my efforts from my mod "Metalsabers Beautiful Elves of Skyrim".  That mod was made prior to ECE for SE and thus I worked with the vanilla creation kit options.  I would highly recommend using this mod over the previous.  If you do intend to use this mod and have the other installed, please uninstall the "Metalsaber Beautiful Elves of Skyrim" mod.  No sense duplicating mods.

  As always, endorsements are appreciated.  Original content takes some effort to come up with vs porting.  It certainly give me encouragement to continue creating original character mods.

  The 20 Elves touched in this version include:

  Marise Aravel

  📊 Pros & Cons

  ✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,305 endorsements and over 69k downloads.
  • Works with your own skin textures, so it won't clash with your preferred skin mod.
  • Targets elves specifically, giving them a fresh look without touching Bijin NPCs.

  ⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Excludes Bijin NPCs, so if you use that series, you'll see inconsistent styles.
  • Potential conflicts with other NPC overhaul mods that modify the same elves.

  🎯 Is This For You?
  For Skyrim players who want to give elves a more elegant appearance without overhauling every NPC. If you use Bijin mods, this complements them by leaving those NPCs untouched. Skip if you prefer a complete overhaul or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
