📋 About This Mod
Fun fact: 95% of the time spent making this mod went towards fixing neckseams. istg.
Overhauls the appearance of Karna and Bacchus from Craftian's Mythos (both the standalone and AiO ezPG version) using CotR assets. Standalone body textures (using Fair Skin and Vitruvia), but body meshes will use whatever replacer you have installed (or vanilla) for simplicity's sake.
Main files are UNP and vanilla males. There's an optional CBBE patch for those using CBEE/3BA bodies. HIMBO is not supported though, sorry. (Note: If you're a noob to Skyrim modding, this doesn't mean the game will crash or anything--it's just texture mismatch. You can use HIMBO with this, just don't dress Bacchus in anything skimpy.)
Speaking of texture mismatch: I've done all I can to minimize it, but the way CotR maps their male face textures (heck, even the female face textures), there's still some form of neackseam if you have a sharp eye and zoom in really really close. Nothing I can do about it. Your ENB/Reshade/in-game Skyrim ambient occlusion settings might make this more noticeable under certain lighting as well.
Only the ezPG version has been tested extensively. Standalone Mythos version is untested, but there's no reason it wouldn't work (their base ID is literally the same). Let me know if I'm wrong though, feel free to yell at me if there's some game-breaking bug I managed to miss.
For Mythos/ezPG latest version. (considering Craftian no longer seems to be updating the two mods, you should be good to go.)
Questions someone will probably ask in the future:
- I don't like this, I don't like that. Too unlore-friendly, strays too far from their original design, whathaveyou. Don't use this mod then.
- I don't like their hair! It clips everywhere! Yeah, I feel you, and am too lazy to make different hair options with fancy fomods like some other modders do. Just use a hair wig I guess.
- Karna and Bacchus seem to be stronger combat-wise with this replacer. Did you add any perks/spells? Yes, though nothing too overpowered. They also have Lightfoot now. Bacchus has some Apprentice-leveled Destruction spells + Fast Healing; if you want to add more you can probably do it through console commands, or edit the NPC record within the esp. I suggest don't give him stuff like Chain Lightning/Fireball/Ice Storm to minimize friendly fire with Karna.
- Can you change their body textures to something else? Can you give them standalone body meshes? No. There's a CBBE/3BA patch for Karna, and that's the furthest I can do when it comes to supporting different body types. I use vanilla myself.
- There's a neckseam! READ THE DESCRIPTION AGAIN.
- There's a neck gap! There shouldn't be

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (68,700 downloads, 100 endorsements) shows it's widely used.
- Targeted fix for fans of Mythos/ezPG who want better-looking followers.
- Lightweight cosmetic mod—no gameplay changes to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Mythos/ezPG mod, so it's useless without that dependency.
- Only affects two followers—if you don't use them, this mod does nothing for you.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter Karna or Bacchus's appearance.
For Skyrim players who use the Mythos/ezPG followers and want them to look more polished. If you're not using those followers, skip it—this is purely cosmetic and doesn't add new content.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Mythos/ezPG mod installed first, or this overhaul won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order easily.
- If you see visual glitches, check that this mod loads after Mythos/ezPG in your load order.
