📋 About This Mod

  • []INTRODUCTION

Nordic Faces - Immersive Characters Overhaul has always been my favourite NPC overhaul: it improves the original designs with high quality textures, meshes, makeup, hairs and textures, all while sticking to the vanilla feeling that I always crave. Quoting its author, it can be used as a complete package of character overhaul, or serve as a solid base which you can add your favorite skins or NPC mod on top of it, so it's pretty much a guaranteed hit in every load order. The lord and saviour of us vanilla+ nerds, deletepch, kindly provided FaceGen for all vanilla NPCs in a handy optional file; however, one can find consistency issues when using other mods that add new NPCs. In time, I learned how to generate my own FaceGen in the CK (but only the basics, I'm still a noob), but then I told myself: what if one day your pc explodes and then all your hard worked FaceGen files disappear? So I decided to share them here, for you and future me!

NOTE: I made this mod for my personal use and load order, so I won't take requests, sorry; if you don't want to generate your own FaceGen (which is perfectly understandable), you'll need to wait and pray that I will one day use that one specific mod you're interested in!
  • []WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS MOD

I generated the FaceGen of all the new NPCs (which means that vanilla and already existing/cut content NPCs already covered by Nordic Faces won't be included, since that would be pointless) added by the following mods, so far:
