📋 About This Mod
The general appearance of NPCs is achieved through a combination of sculpting with Racemenu, Blender and different normal maps.
(A couple haven't been screenshotted for the 3. 0a-b version, but if you can think of it, they are probably included)
This isn't a beauty mod.
There are some pretty NPCs. There are ugly NPCs. There are average NPCs. There are aged NPCs. There are young NPCs.
The goal is to make the worldspace feel that it is inhabited by authentic characters. If your favorite NPC's appearance isn't to your taste, you can use EasyNPC to keep your favorites and replace others.
This mod is RSV ready.
However, you will lose the custom normal maps that I have applied for face and body. The NPCs still look great. Don't worry.

[]As of v3. 0a, the default body option is removed.
[
]As of v3. 0b, RBT is no longer supported.I unfortunately need to scale back so that I can spend more time on making mods and less time managing and testing multiple versions of the mod. This is why I have removed the default body and RBT versions. The upside to this is that it will be less likely to encounter bugs and it will be easier to troubleshoot the ones that do arise.
If there are any issues/bugs, please use the "Bugs" tab to report it.
I struggle to keep up when they are reported in the comments.
