📋 About This Mod
Compatible with Skyrim SE. Click here for an example screenshot in Skyrim SE without ENB.
This .esp adds a unique preset for Nord males. Additional mods are optional, but recommended. See below. This has been ported over from the original Skyrim, so most screenshots show some sort of ENB. The first two screenshots in the series are Skyrim SE without ENB.
Non-SE version here.
This .esp is offered without support. I only uploaded it for Skyrim OG after dozens of PM requests to do so. I apologize, but I do not have the time to offer support or troubleshooting.
Compatibility
This may conflict with other preset mods. If you run into problems, bump this .esp to the top of your load order and temporarily disable other mods that affect the character generator / race menu.
Recommended Mods
I used the following mods in this file's screenshots. All of these are working for me in Skyrim SE. Your mileage may vary.

Notes
You can adjust the eyes/brows/beard/hair/dirt depending upon which mods you install. The preset will give you the base face structure. To get results similar to my screenshots, install the mods linked above. Visual reference: http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/61181-1-1421040070.jpg
