📋 About This Mod
Inspired by Cathedral Player and NPC Overhaul - HMB II, I want to make a character overhaul that preserve the vanilla aesthetic with modern textures and models. Thanks to many talented modders in the community, there are lots of high quality and open-sourced assets exist. I hand-picked and choose the best available one to achieve a realistic, eye-pleasing and consistent visual to enhance my Skyrim experience.
Nordic Faces 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. The mod contains no plugins, only textures, meshes and FaceGen files are included to ensure high compatibility with other NPC mods.
